Insulin Shock therapy is not a viable clinical treatment. Schizophrenia is a disabling and emotionally devastating disease of the brain. Although most people think of schizophrenia as the same thing as a split personality or a multiple personality, that’s not the case. People with schizophrenia have difficulty telling the difference between what is real and what is their imagination. None of the treatments for schizophrenia, then or today, offer a "cure," in the sense that antibiotics cure an infection or surgery removes a diseased organ. The treatments were unpleasant and dangerous. They were given without anesthesia

In my opinion, John Nash is an very unusual case of schizophrenic patients. Normally, people with this disorder has difficulty taking care of themselves and socializing with their community. If his story was proven right, majority of the schizoprenis patients could have been taught without medication. But no, schizoprenic has not been cured completey even today. I believe it was John Nash himself that had proved he could be normal with such determination and heart to function in society with any other help except his family.
 * 2. Was John Nash an unusual case, or do you think that many schizophrenic patients can be taught to function in society with without medication?**

Insulin shock therapy is now officially known to be very dangerous and painful for the patients. This is because too much insulin can cause rapid, life-threatening problems, whereas high blood glucose problems usually take hours or even days to present a life-threatening situation (but both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia should always be addressed immediately, //Medical Library//).
 * 3. What are the dangers and/or advantages of this type of treatment (re: insulin shock therapy)?**

During the 1960s and 1970s hospitals used Insulin Shock therapy, which is also stated above that is not a viable clinical treatment. rather than helping the patient, it's very unpleasant and dangerous to people. Fortunately, people started to discover the situation and start treating people with schizoprenia with the right medication such as antipsychotic drugs. These drugs help relieve patients of agitation and severe obsessive rituals.

There are several different schizophrenia types, with paranoid schizophrenia being the most wost case. The specific symptoms a person experiences, such as hallucinations, disorganized thinking, or a lack of pleasure in everyday life. I believe the worst in this case of scenario is Paranoid schizophrenia. With this type of schizophrenia, the symptoms are delusions or auditory hallucinations. People with paranoid schizophrenia usually do not have thought disorder, disorganized behavior, or affective flattening. I necessarily do not think all of these carious types of schizophrenia has a least kind of case. The all deal with the same problem: unable to take care of themselves. These results show that every case of scenario is the worst kind of all.
 * 5. What are the various types of schizophrenia? Which would you consider the worst case to have? The least worst? Explain why for each.**

Today's main treatment of patients with schizophrenia is the prescription of antipsychotic drugs. These offer control of symptoms but rarely offer a cure. ICT is no longer practiced in the West. Reports of its continued use in the former Soviet Union and in China occasionally appear. Also Lobotomy, sometimes called leucotomy or psychosurgery, is occasionally used to relieve patients of agitation and severe obsessive-compulsive rituals, the patients for which it was first advocated (Max Fink).
