Schizophrenia and other mental disorders are a bane to human society and human scientific advancements. This area of medical science needs to be re-envisioned and re-addressed with immense scientific grit and determination as science and technology surges forward. This article unfolds the scientific intricacies, the scientific travails and the vast scientific revelation in the journey towards the science of psychiatry and psychology.
The challenges and the Vision of the Science of Psychiatry
The world of psychiatry is today moving drastically from one visionary paradigm towards another. Medical science has few answers to the scientific intricacies and the scientific travails of brain disorder and bipolar disorder [1]. Human mankind and human scientific health today stands in the midst of vision and scientific fortitude. Human challenges are immense in the path towards successful treatment of schizophrenia. Human scientific progress today stands in the midst of deep scientific provenance and vast scientific provenance. The science of psychiatry needs to be re-envisioned and re-addressed with the passage of scientific history and time. Medical science and mankind today stands in the midst of vision and scientific fortitude [1]. The author is a chemical engineer by training and profession. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia in December,1993. At that time, he was pursuing post-graduation in chemical engineering in a renowned university in Kolkata, India. The world fell down like a house of cards. In manners, the author was shy and introvert. He never uses to mix with friends or relatives. That was the seeds of his illness. During his school days, he uses to struggle in his studies. In his undergraduate days in chemical engineering also, he toiled hard to get good appreciation in the semester examination.
In the final year of undergraduate class, he started hearing sounds and became too much suspicious of others. Suddenly in the summer of 1993, things became immensely worse as he started taking unprescribed medicines. Educational pressures were immensely high and the need of a good placement lurked in his mind. Jobs were less in Kolkata and the state of West Bengal at that time. Insecurity and frustration gave way to this monstrous illness of schizophrenia. In March, 1994, he passed out postgraduation in chemical engineering with flying colors. But during his postgraduation days, things deteriorated and he was taken to the psychiatrist in December, 1993. Everything was in a dismal state of affairs. The author in December, 1993 was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Medication started for the first time in his long life and long years of health related struggle. He got a good job in New Delhi, the capital of India. But, another grave disaster loomed large over the horizon. He started discontinuing medicines. The situation deeply aggravated. He also changed jobs frequently. One night in November, 1993 at 1.00 AM at night he visited his teacher’s home in the same locality of his residence totally bedraggled with immense intake of Un prescribed medicines. That incident changed the course of his life. The monstrous illness of schizophrenia overtook him. In 1996, when he was working as a faculty of chemical engineering in a prestigious institution in north India, he again started discontinuing medicines. Again he was rushed to the hospital in Kolkata thus starting a new chapter of immense struggle in his life. Health related struggle was part and parcel in his life.
The doctors in Kolkata, India told the author’s parents to consult doctors in National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, (NIMHANS) Bangalore, India for proper administration of Clozapine, the wonder drug of schizophrenia. From 1997 to 1998, the author along with his parents visited twice to consult doctors in NIMHANS, Bangalore, India. He was kept under constant observation in NIMHANS, India. Clozapine was soon administered with immense scientific might and scientific determination by the doctors in Bangalore and Kolkata, India. With intake of this medicine, he went to reach Chemical Engineering and do research in Queen’s University, Belfast, United Kingdom and in an engineering college in Oman. This is a clear explanation that clozapine is a wonder antipsychotic medicine. Today, in 2018, he is still under Clozapine. Thus human scientific endeavor and human scientific genre in the science of psychology are envisioned and deeply addressed as medical science surges forward towards a newer knowledge dimension [1].
