Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a brain illness that affects one percent of the people all over the world. The persons can be young or older, women or men, it doesn’t matter. It’s diagnosis can be more difficult than it might seem because the symptoms of schizophrenia can be similar at times to other major brain disorders such as bipolar disorder or even major depression.
Schizophrenia is characterized by a disruption in cognition and emotion, affecting the most fundamental human attributes: language, thought, perception, affect, and sense of self. The entire sense of self is changed when a person is schizophrenic.
Schizophrenia symptoms are divided into three categories: positive symptoms, disorganized symptoms, and negative symptoms.

Smooth Transitions: School to Work
One of the most major transitions in any person’s life is that from school to work. In high school or college, many people lead a protected life and are still helped financially and otherwise by their parents. After school, these ties are often cut, leaving the recent graduate to fend for his- or herself. This transition is scary for anyone, but even more so for an individual with autism. Because school is a time to learn to live with peers in a controlled environment, the work force is a difficult concept for autistic people because one must often deal with new situations daily rather than have the comfort of a set living situation.
One of the main things autistic graduates need to learn is how to deal with people in a business world. This includes proper grooming, something that may not have been such a big deal in high school or college. Proper grooming, such as brushing your teeth, wearing appropriate clothing, using deodorant, and combing your hair probably comes natural for most people, but an autistic person needs help with these tasks-he or she may not realize that they are being inappropriate. By this stage in life, many autistic individuals who have gone through schooling are at a maturity level where they can do the task assigned with no problem and avoid outbursts in most situations. In fact, it has been shown that some autistic individuals are highly skilled at tasks involving things such as math or music. Learning a new job in the work force is not the problem-relating to others in a social situation is.

Cannabinol Intoxication to Teenagers – Teenage Drug Abuse
A lot of teenagers use cannabinols, specifically marijuana and hashish because if it is taken in large amounts, it can give them a feeling of “being high.” Teenagers who have experienced being under the influence of marijuana and hashish reported that they were able to see more clearly and vividly and time seemed to pass slowly, as if everything was in slow motion. The colors of the things around them reportedly became more vibrant and sometimes, the shapes of persons and objects became sharper and eventually become distorted.
Other common effects of cannabinol abuse are decreased attention span, difficulty in forming concrete thoughts and ideas, mental distortion and confusion, impaired motor coordination, thinking and reading comprehension.
