whoa!cool psychiatry ward!

the picture above isnt relevant to what i m about to write.Its just merely a decoration

I went to the psychiatry ward today..
In the morning we took bus to get to Metro Konkova..from there we transited to Metro Shabolovskaya..then we took a tramvai (trolleybus)to the destination
This is the second class tht we attended
Then from the busstand we walked few blocks to get there..
The place was huge with red painted buildings .They resembles the red square somehow with little twist of white, out of place, kind of theme..hehe..
There are stray dogs everywhere..
And of course people in treatment everywhere..
All of us sort of afraid of them..
Then we entered the our classroom. AS we walked through the ward to get to the classroom,we saw lots of women in all sizes and age..
Some were looking at the ceiling for nothing,some just stared at us,some welcomed us,some were talking to themselves,some were having tea,some were crying...
We were really freaked out at first..my friend made a joke saying eh maybe our teacher is one of them..who knows!?hadja!like tht also can say one..
then we studied and learnt about the classifications of Disorders of perceptions
This topic branches into 3 main subparts
But mainly it s difficult to distinguish between Delusions and Hallucinations
Hallucinations are mostly about disorders in making out what the reality shows and how the person sees them in their minds
But delusions are toatally out of the world.Things tht arent there are said to be seen or felt..
It amazing to see how our minds play tricks on us!

Then came the first patient
She said she cant feel her face ...her face was gone!we are shocked!
but as we see her ,her face is there but expressionless..
we asked her to touch her face she said she cant touch it or feel it
then we asked her where did her face go? she said she dont know!
we continued with a question *what u think we see on your face if its gone?*
U see my face as amorphic figure,she answered..
whoa freaky!Delusion she has

Then came the 2nd patiient of the day..
She told us tht her mother has control over her body..Tht some things she did and felt was made by her revengeful mother on her..She felt tht one day,her throat and stomach was burning hot.she blame her mother on tht.
It all started when she was in the womb of her mother,she remembered tht her mother was angry at her father and tried to kill him..Patient then said she grow her arms into her mothers hands and managed to control her actions.thereby stopping the murder to take place..she saved her father from being killed..
So she said when she was born,her mother didnt want to let her out to the world..
her mother stopped pushing but luckily was saved by experienced midwife.As she was born the patient recalled she was a floating soul looking down at her own red baby body and her mother..She didnt want to be born as a baby Until she heard a voice asking her to get into the body or else she will still be born again..She was afraid of the voice she heard*she doesnt know where the voice come from and enter the little body and became alive..since then she believed that she had special and strong magical connection to her mother...
The story was told and it really pulled out the interest in us..
i had a great day today and when i got home i needed to jot this down somewhere..
Here's the best!
