A Psychiatrist's Perspective
From a dream, Dr. Calzadilla Fierro evokes a character from his childhood, a man who wandered around his hometown dirty, unkempt and poorly dressed, he had Schizophrenia. Remembering him, the author describes the symptoms of this disease.
Delusional disorder is characterized by the presence of one or more firmly held false beliefs that persist. It usually begins in middle-aged or elderly people, and is less common than Schizophrenia.
I have heard the phrase that gives title to this commentary on many occasions, fortunately less and less. And I have heard it in the mouths of some doctors and psychologists. With it they refer to psychotropic drugs and psychotherapy.
A broad representation of human events. It not only comments on Psychiatry and Mental Health; it looks at the world with a broad vision, there is nothing more dangerous and paralyzing than homogeneity and a single discourse.
