According to the Basic Health Research of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (Riskesdas) 2018, the prevalence of sufferers schizophrenia in the household is 7 permil. This means that in a thousand households, there are 7 households that have family members with schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia is a psychiatric problem that causes people to interpret reality in an inaccurate way. According to the American Psychiatric Association, in addition to understanding, people with schizophrenia also experience it hallucinations, mental confusion, disorganized speech, difficulty thinking, and loss of motivation. Understanding is similar to disease in general. Understanding has both causes and symptoms. However, before understanding further about understanding, identify the meaning of understanding first.

Understanding is a false belief held by sufferers mental disorders. Even though there is a lot of clear evidence that shows mistakes, people with understanding still insist that what they believe or believe is true. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), a concept is a false and strongly held belief that results from an incorrect conclusion about reality. This inconsequential conviction is held firmly despite the facts and what almost everyone knows for sure and is supported by strong, incontrovertible evidence. Understanding can be categorized as a psychotic disorder, which is the difficulty in recognizing and differentiating between reality and fantasy.

Understanding has factors that cause it, just like health problems in general. In general, understanding is caused due to heredity, brain, psychological, and environmental conditions.

  1. Genetic
    Waham is genetically influenced
    According to the results of research published in the journal American Journal of Medical Genetics, explained that delusions or psychotic disorders can generally be caused by genetic factors. If there are first-generation relatives, such as the relationship between parents and children or siblings, then this is a permanent factor causing the emergence. risk of misunderstanding to someone.
  2. Abnormalities in the brain
    Abnormalities in the brain can trigger delusions
    Research presented in the journal CNS Neuroscience and Therapeutics found that people with delusions have abnormalities in the brain. The abnormalities shown are problems with interactions in certain parts of the brain. In addition, the brain substance dopamine also shows abnormal activity in people with delusions. Stroke survivors are also able to increase the factors that cause delusions. Therefore, a stroke can damage the right hemisphere of the brain. In this study, it shows that delirium appears after damage to the right side of the brain. Post-stroke understanding can appear without a history of problems with consciousness, such as delirium or intellectual disorders, such as dementia.
  3. Trauma
    Symptoms of PTSD due to trauma increase the risk of stroke
    Research published in BMC Psychiatry found that people who have had trauma in the past also cause delusions. This study explains that before experiencing delusions, they are diagnosed with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Traumatic survivors who have PTSD continue to show additional symptoms, such as psychotic symptoms, such as delusions. This causes them to suffer from PTSD with Secondary Psychotic features (PTSD-SP). Recurrent delusions are usually associated with past trauma.
  4. Environment
    People who live and live with people with delusions are also vulnerable to the risk of delusions. In fact, this has led to the phenomenon of shared psychotic disorders. Usually, this often occurs in couples who have lived together for years. However, people with shared psychotic disorders tend to be passive. A person can also suffer from understanding if they are in a group with a leader who also understands. Stress and feeling isolated in social environment also trigger this shared psychotic disorder.
