Schizophrenia usually first appears in a person during their late teens or throughout their twenties. It affects more men than women, and is considered a life-long condition which rarely is “cured,” but rather treated. The primary treatment for schizophrenia and similar thought disorders is medication. Unfortunately, compliance with a medication regimen is often one of the largest problems associated with the ongoing treatment of schizophrenia. Because people who live with this disorder often go off of their medication during periods throughout their lives, the repercussions of this loss of treatment are acutely felt not only by the individual, but by their family and friends as well.
Successful treatment of schizophrenia, therefore, depends upon a life-long regimen of both drug and psychosocial, support therapies. While the medication helps control the psychosis associated with schizophrenia (e.g., the delusions and hallucinations), it cannot help the person find a job, learn to be effective in social relationships, increase the individual’s coping skills, and help them learn to communicate and work well with others. Poverty, homelessness, and unemployment are often associated with this disorder, but they don’t have to be. If the individual finds appropriate treatment and sticks with it, a person with schizophrenia can lead a happy and successful life. But the initial recovery from the first symptoms of schizophrenia can be an extremely lonely experience. Individuals coping with the onset of schizophrenia for the first time in their lives require all the support that their families, friends, and communities can provide. (more…)

Sleep disorder, though PLMD (Periodic Limb Movement Disorder) usually connected with RLS (Restless Legs Syndrome), but was it the same and got connection? PLMD is very similar to RLS. While RLS is a sensation in the legs and subsequent voluntary movement to avert the sensation, PLMD is involuntary, rhythmic limb movements, either while asleep or when awake. RLS disrupts sleep by delaying sleep; PLMD can disrupt sleep because of the constant limb movements. Many people with PLMD are not even aware of their symptoms until a bed partner brings it to their attention.
Question frequently occur is “Do people with RLS also have PLMD?” Most people who have Restless Legs Syndrome also have PLMD. However, the reverse is not true – only some people with PLMD also have RLS. See the resources below for more information about PLMD. (more…)

If you find that strange sensations in your legs keep you from sleeping or cause you to jump up and move around to relieve the discomfort, you may have Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). RLS is a central nervous system disorder that can interfere with resting or falling asleep.
Various treatments help with RLS. For some people, self-help tips decrease the discomfort, and for others, more treatment is necessary. Regardless, you can find relief.
Although the symptoms are distinctive, many people dismiss the feelings as muscle aches or restlessness, and do not suspect that they have RLS. Thus, RLS is frequently misdiagnosed and often left untreated, resulting in restlessness, insomnia, and daytime sleepiness. (more…)
