//__Reflection on the Nervous System Wiki By Wesley House__//

For this assignment we were required to work together with a group of people and research a disorder or function of the entire nervous system. My group and I were assigned to discuss the symptoms, diagnois, treatment and brain functions of schizophrenia. I found this an extremely interesting topic since a very close friend of mine is schizophrenic. As a group we broke up each aspect of schizophrenia and collaborated to create an entire wiki on the single subject. I disussed mostly the symptoms of schizophrenia. I learned how schizophrenia can be very harmful to a persons emotions and social life. Hallucinations, disorganized thinking and mental delusions are all key symptoms to a person with schizophrenia. I also found it odd that schizophrenia is a very difficult disorder to diagnose. The majority of the time a person is classified as schizophrenic based on self-reported experiences. Since doctors are still looking for answers when it comes to genetic involvement in developing this disorder. Although treatment can be difficult, there is a widely used injectable therapy that can greatly reduce the symptoms of schizophrenia. I was very suprised at the amount of people with this disorder in America. However, with the new developments science has to offer we can hope that a cure can soon be found. I enjoyed doing this project very much. It taught me a lot of things that I never knew about how the nervous system and the brain work.
