In Schizophrenia disturbances occur in mood behavior and thinking. It has some more visible and frequent symptoms which are mentioned in DSM-IV TR. B. The positive symptoms in Schizophrenia are delusion, hallucination etc. while the negative symptoms are social withdrawal, lack of interest and less inhibition of reality contact. C. In Simple schizophrenia, negative features are common in Hebephrenic Schizophrenia, patients are disorganized, and no emotions are there. D. Manic depressive psychosis is a disorder of mood. It differs from Schizophrenia on the point that in the formal mood and thought process go simultaneously but in Schizophrenia it does not happen. E. In learning problems, children face problems like writing problem (spelling mistakes, missing of alphabets), reading problems, recurrence of same mistake, and attention deficit with hyper activity behavior, less span of attention etc. As I was not supposed to meet any patients on this day because the chamber is being closed on Monday and Friday, so that we all had a very creative class with the discussion of all sorts of mental illness and management of patients of such a complicated condition.

inmates(males). It is also state receiving unit. Bijoy Krishna Naha was built this building in Naxalite period, which times it, was used as a Jail for offenders. At present there are 134 children staying together in the home. According to these childrens ability and interest, they are provided with various trainings and also primary education and some little amount of health education. These services are mainly based on childs right approach. In a small introductory session with the Superintendent Mr. Prantik Ghosh, I came to that the children are provided with informal education within the home premises. Then they are sent to outside schools for further education. Apart from this, he showed us the various units inside the home also. Then in presence of Dr. Basu, we altogether interacted with some inmates of the home. Those are:

CASE: 1
He is a boy of 10 years while living in his house, he saw his father committing suicide. From that incident, he is very shocked and says that he does not want to survive. This feeling can lead him to suicidal attempts.

CASE: 2
His age is 9 years. He had left his house two years back. However he cannot recall the address. So he is staying in the home. In the home, he often indulges in fight with other boys. According to doctor, he is a patient of Attention deficit Hyperactivity disorder.

CASE: 3
He is 11 year old and is mentally retarded. This size of his brain is very small in proportion to his body which is a symptom of disturbance in development.

CASE: 4
This boy is 13 years old and is residing in this home for 3 and half years. According to the staff, he has some homosexual traits in him. In addition to education, the children are also given various vocational trainings. They are taught gardening. Within the campus, they play football and other games like pyramid making etc. The boys have drawing classes too. Even they are taken to picnic also as their recreation. In the rooms, the boys sleep in a dormitory system. Each room has a monitor. For the proper health and hygiene of the in mates, they are given soaps shampoos and also detergent powder sponsored by a NGO.

OBSERVATION REGARDING AGENCY AND STAFFS:


I observed that though the home is providing care and protection to the children still there is some lacking in giving services. This home needs more funds along with Govt. funds and needs more attendants especially on holydays when the superintendent is present inside the home. They need more vocational training facilities.

DAILY REPORTS
 Suicide is a self-inflicted death with the intension to die.  There are some difference in Para-suicide and suicide. Para-suicide is that where person injured themselves but usually do not wish to die.  In depression 50% of all persons commit suicide and 10% of patients who commit suicide are schizophrenia, they may have delusion & hallucination.  Borderline Personality disordered person are keener to Para-suicidal.  Para-suicidal patients need long term treatment & patients with personality disorder benefit from empathetic counseling.  Violence- intentional act of doing bodily harm on another person includes assaults, rape, robbery, homicide, physical and sexual abuse.  Management: protection of counselor has to be ensured. Physical restrained should be applied by trained people. Help of security staff has to be solicited. Psycho-social intervention should be required.  Anti-social personality disordered person never learn from mistakes and no sense of guilt is present in them.
