DSM & global applicability

edit

Whilst the DSM is an excellent reference manual these conditions, it is a US publication. Here in the UK, the DSM is not used to diagnose mental illness, so I am wondering whether this needs acknowledgement.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.147.130.55 (talk) 01:52, 9 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

"Prevention" section appears to be self-contradictory

edit

After reading the "Prevention" section of this article, it seems to me that the section contradicts itself with regards to the potential to reduce the risk of developing the disease: in the first paragraph, it is stated that "one cannot reduce the risk of developing paranoid schizophrenia", but in the second paragraph, it goes on to say that "eliminating any of [the mentioned] factors could help reduce an individual's future risk of developing paranoid schizophrenia", which appears to contradict the statement in the first paragraph. I am not an expert in psychiatry, so I am reluctant to edit the section myself, but I strongly recommend someone with the expertise to have a look at the aforementioned section and correct it if necessary.

I think I have fixed the problem, though it wouldn't do any harm for other editors to take a look. Looie496 (talk) 17:20, 8 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
I changed it to "Awareness and treatment", which seems more appropriate. Preventing all the social and physical ills listed as possible environmental contributors may be desirable, but also for more reasons than preventing development of schizophrenia.Parkwells (talk) 16:59, 7 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Status of this article

edit

I stumbled over this, @Iztwoz: and @SandyGeorgia: - am thinking it should be merged to schizophrenia and History of schizophrenia. Surely everything in this article is then covered elsewhere...? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:31, 10 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes, redirect, if ICD-11 is also dropping it. There was no content ... just poorly sourced srudent editing confusing schizophrenia with paranoid schizophrenia. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 06:25, 10 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Yes, absolutely very confusing to have its entry now.--Iztwoz (talk) 08:11, 10 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
ICD 11 also in line:[1] --Iztwoz (talk) 08:18, 10 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
