Types of mental- ill health part 2

 What is Schizophrenia? I must admit I am having to do quite a bit of research on Schizophrenia because I don't really know myself. Sorry if I add more links than typing. However, it is possible my late Grandfather my Mother's Father faced Schizophrenia  orhttps://www.webmd.com/schizophrenia/guide/mental-health-schizoaffective-disorder   according to my research it is hearing and seeing things that are not there. That doesn't mean they are going crazy or mad. They believe that something is there even if it's not and there should be no shame in it, which there shouldn't be. This could be moving the body, twitching, or rocking back and to.  https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/schizophrenia/overview/

Both schizophrenia and schizoaffective have some things in common schizoaffective is more a mood disorder, even they both are, and schizophrenia is more a seeing and hearing disorder. According to the WebMD site doctors have been trying to study those two disorders for years and still don't know the causes. WebMD says if I haven't misunderstood them that Schizoaffective tends to be similar to Biopolar where they face mood swings, depression, and Mania. https://www.webmd.com/bipolar-disorder/guide/hypomania-mania-symptoms  https://www.nami.org/About-Mental-Illness/Mental-Health-Conditions/Schizoaffective-Disorder

However' my Grandfather, I think he faced schizoaffective, which at the time no one really understood and there wasn't really any help. Without saying too much it broke my grandparents' marriage and affected my Mum and Aunt's childhood. Without saying too much and in respect of the family and without boring you guys, we never knew how to except to see him one minute to the next where he could be sometimes happy but then moody the next, very hard to explain, slightest little things would set him off and we didn't know why at the time. To cut a long story short, it was like he was two different people.

Personally disorder. Now personally disorder is a big one and it can naturally easy misunderstood by others. I have to be honest I am only just learning about it, and most of us may face it but just may not realize it, maybe even me, which I don't know until I learned about it. I was shocked to find out on the Mind website there 9 types of Personally disorders. These types of disorders may get us misunderstood similar to even what Autism does from people in our lives but in different ways, such as say our parents, family, friends, people we study, work with, socialize with, etc. https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/personality-disorders/types-of-personality-disorder/
