Question by Sivawoman: Does anyone know of a free download to track adolescent behaviors? Needle in a haystack I know!?
I currently work with adolescents and it’s time consuming to write daily progress reports. I know that there are many programs available for purchase, but in this tough economy, our small program just can’t afford it. If you know of any trial versions available for free, or know of anything that would be helpful, I would appreciate it very much. I know this is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I would rather spend my time doing more hands on things with ‘my kids’ instead of spending hours charting! Thanks in advance!

You might want to check Amazon for a used “Treatment Planner” book. You can copy some of the pages and leave the spots empty to fill in with specifics. Ebay may have them, too.

Question by kristenschulenberg: How can you tell when someone is showing signs of Schizophrenia vs. Paranoid Personality Disorder?

Best answer:

Answer by kobacker59
Schizophrenia is a psychosis, while Paranoid Personality Disorder is not. Have you tried looking at the DSM-IV? You can get it on-line or do a search engine query. Good luck.

Answer by mikewesten
The words “schizophrenia” and “Paranoid Personality Disorder” are simply a labels used to categorise lists of psychosocial traits that Psychiatry considers to be improper or abnormal in society. Psychiatry defines these traits as “mental illness”, and promotes it as a “disease” that requires “treatment”.

It is not a “disease”, despite claims made in certain peoples answers here. There is NO credible scientific evidence that shows the existence of what constitutes “schizophrenia” as a biological/neurological disorder, brain abnormality or “chemical imbalance”.
