Within Paranoid schizophrenia are lots of differences in how the disorder manifests itself. And only 82% of all persons with this disorder respond on anti-psychotics. For example I had a patient with this disorder and he believed his neighbours were specialist terrorists he 'heard' them making plans for an attack on a famous person from television, and he did not thrust his friends any more. He kept calling the emergency line and the police eventually brought him to us. Well my colleges and I thought this was a clear cut case of Paranoid schizophrenia. (we had to institute him) So we gave this patient some olanzapine (zyprexa), 2 weeks later the patient went nuts! He was banging his head against the wall and could not hold his shit inside him. So we direcly stopped the medicine and 1 month later he was cool again. We gave him some group therapy and 4 months later we could resign him, he did not believe his neighbours were terrorists any more and hadn't heard voices since then. The big problem with schizophrenia is etiquette people give it, and the incorrect meaning of the name and subgroups. Also do I think it would be better to diagnose and give a treatment tuned to found issues.
