Reseña del libro "Schizo: The Tale of a Troubled Mind (en Inglés)"
I am about to tell a story of paranormal phenomena, delusional thoughts, and psychotic depression in a young boy who tries to grow into a good and decent man. This story is of encounters of a mind that has such a strong imagination that most may say it becomes unhealthy and could deem it mentally unstable to be among society. Here is something to formalize you with what psychotic depression, delusions, and paranormal phenomena are: Psychotic depression is a sub-type of major depression occurring when a severe depressive illness includes some form of psychosis. The psychosis could be hallucinations (such as hearing a voice telling you that you are no good or worthless), delusions (such as intense feelings of worthlessness, failure, or having committed a sin), or some other break with reality. Psychotic depression affects roughly one out of every four people who will be admitted to the hospital for depression. Delusional disorder, previously called paranoid disorder, is a type of serious mental illness involving psychosis. Psychosis is the inability to tell what is real from what is seen as imagination. The main feature of delusional disorder is the presence of delusions-unshakable beliefs in something untrue. People with delusional disorder experience non-bizarre delusions, which involve situations that could occur in real life, such as someone following someone else, or poisoned, deceived, conspired against, or loved from a distance. These delusions usually involve the misinterpretation of perceptions or experiences. In reality, however, the situations are either not true at all or highly exaggerated. People with delusional disorder often can continue to socialize and function normally apart from the subject of their delusion, and generally do not behave in an obviously odd or bizarre manner. This is unlike people with other psychotic disorders, who also might have delusions as a symptom of their disorder. In some cases, however, people with delusional disorder might become so preoccupied with their delusions that their lives can be disrupted. Although, delusions might be a symptom of more common disorders, such as schizophrenia (a mental disorder characterized by a breakdown of thought processes and by a deficit of typical emotional responses). Delusional disorder itself is rather rare. Delusional disorder most often occurs in middle to late life and is slightly more common in women than in men. In this case, it is a little more than delusions and it happens to a child that grows up to become a troubled man. Then there are paranormal phenomena. Paranormal phenomenon are distinct from certain hypothetical entities (characterized by, or of the nature of, a hypothesis; conditional; assumed without proof, for the purpose of reasoning and deducing proof, or of accounting for some fact or phenomenon), such as dark matter and dark energy, only insofar as paranormal phenomena are inconsistent with the world as already understood through empirical observation coupled with scientific methodology (a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge). This story is about a young boy who suffers from these ailments as he grows into a man. All he wants is to have a woman he could someday marry and to have kids-it was his only dream in life. A woman who also loves him, and to have a family of his own while growing old happily with one another. Unfortunately, Sam could hear, see, and feel things that were only in his mind, which he thought was the supernatural. All through his life he fought with his entire demons while trying to live a normal life. He fought to find, have, and keep love through his wrecked mental state. Here's the story Sam Mathews...
