Hollywood Lied to You About Schizophrenia π¬β #education #neuroscience #brainpitstopAdded:
Think schizophrenia means having multiple personalities?
Hollywood lied to you.
Multiple identities is dissociative identity disorder, an extremely rare condition triggered by severe childhood trauma.
Schizophrenia actually means a split between thoughts, emotions, and reality.
The brain fails to filter sensory data, causing the software to misinterpret the environment, which triggers hallucinations and delusions.
Also, people with schizophrenia are not inherently violent. Statistically, they are far more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators.
