I have to take a class on PDs. Last time i took a class on Schizophrenia, which was easy since my research work is on schizophrenia. PD is one area which i don't wanted to study even during my MSW because I felt some of the symptoms are present in me too..... :). When i discussed this with my teacher she said it is natural that we try to compare those symptoms with our behavior. She thought she had depression......
PDs are not considered as severe as schizophrenia ( this is my understanding which could be wrong) but can make the person dysfunctional....any mental illness can affect the regular life of a person (some times severely some times mildly....)
when we get highly stressed it is difficult to carryout our daily activities as we normally do, we need to put an extra bit of effort to make the day. Okay leave the stress out, take for example a headache (small or big) how badly we get irritated...These are small things but can change our day from better to worse...
A person living with severe mental illness such as mood disorder, schizophrenia have their good days too when they are able to take care of themselves without any assistance, when they spend some quality time with their family and friends, or when they get appreciation for small things they do that is a good day for them....It is here that our small appreciative words and kind acts bring light to their life....We don't have to do anything for them but don't isolate them that is all they wanted.....And i felt (from my experience) that they will never forget what we do for them and are always thankful :)
Have a great day..........
