With the sudden onset of severe
psychotic symptoms, the individual is said to be experiencing acute
schizophrenia (精神分裂症). "Psychotic" means out of touch with reality, or unable to
separate real from unreal experiences. Some people have only one such psychotic
episode. Others have many episodes during a lifetime but lead relatively normal
lives during interim periods. The individual with chronic (continuous or
recurring) schizophrenia often does not fully recover normal functioning and
typically requires long-term treatment, generally including medication, to
control the symptoms. These symptoms may include hallucinations (幻觉),
incoherence, delusions, lack of judgment, deterioration of the abilities to
reason and feel emotion, and a lack of interaction between the patient and his
environment. The hallucinations may be a visual, auditory, or tactile. Some
chronic schizophrenic patients may never he able to function without assistance
of one sort or another.
