Question

A clinician is working with a program to help families who have loved ones diagnosed with schizophrenia. Tomika has been diagnosed with schizophrenia; her family wants to be involved in all of the decisions Tomika makes from picking out her clothes to choosing what she eats. Additionally, her family members are constantly fearful Tomika will display symptoms while they’re out together in public. What would the clinician say about this family atmosphere and what can we predict from it?

Answer 1

Fear, not helpful

Step-by-step explanation:

Schizophrenia can be described or explained as a disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel and behave clearly.

It should be understood that the exact or main cause of schizophrenia isn't known, but there is a belief that a combination of genetics, environment and altered brain chemistry and structure may play a role or contribute to it.

In this case, the main thing that can be deduced from the way the family members are reacting is fear. They are so afraid that he might manifest the disorder in the presence of people. And through this, they are not helping Tomika to overcome the disorder.
