Lack Of Emotional Expressions
A lack of emotional expression is more of a “characteristic” symptom of schizophrenia. Individuals suffering from this condition can show little to no reactions to hearing good or bad news. They also begin to display fewer gestures and facial expressions when they talk.
Their voice might even become flat when they talk. Interestingly, studies have shown that while these types of people may appear to have a stern expression, what they’re expressing outward might not be the same as what they’re feeling inside.
Occasionally, they might have inappropriate and unexplained reactions to things, like overwhelming rage or improper laughter.
Is it possible to have a relationship with someone who has been diagnosed? This person is so Inteligent and is enjoyable to be around half the time, but then can turn on a dime into a complete jerk and make messes and damage things in my home, even stealing items. Until I read this article I had no idea that these behaviors are common. I don’t know what to do because I care dearly for this person, and we’re trying to have a relationship, but it’s no wonder why all of my best efforts have been dethwarted.
As far as I know he has been prescribed an anti-depressant and Xanax which he doesn’t take most days. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
