Schizophrenia is known to be a heterogeneous disorder characterized by positive symptoms, negative symptoms, disorganized state and cognitive deficits. Acute schizophrenia is a disorder consisting of various degrees of psychosis, characterized by the sudden onset of personality disorganization Methods: Thirty acute and thirty chronic schizophrenic patients were taken within the age range of 18 to 55 years of male sex only. A self developed socio-demographic and clinical data sheet was used to assess the socio-demographic correlates. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Hindi Version of Cattell’s Self Analysis Form or IPAT Anxiety Scale Questionnaire (A.S.Q) and the Life Satisfaction Scale were used to assess the levels of depression, anxiety and life satisfaction respectively. Results: Significant differences were found between Acute and Chronic Schizophrenics in depression which was due to the four factors: Sense of Failure, Crying Spells, Social Withdrawal, and in Work Inhibition. No significant differences were found in anxiety (both covert and overt). On Life satisfaction, in the acute and chronic schizophrenia groups, the level of life satisfaction is more among the acute schizophrenia group in comparison to chronic schizophrenia group. Conclusion: The acute schizophrenia group appears to be having relatively higher level of depression than as compared to the chronic group. But at the same time the acute group seems to have better life satisfaction than the chronic schizophrenia group.","PeriodicalId":269968,"journal":{"name":"Eastern Journal of Psychiatry","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131006556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It includes a kind of meta-awareness, self regulation of attention (to immediate experience) and a certain mindset e.g. being non-reactive, non-judgemental and accepting. This practice has been derived from Buddhism which originated in India in the 6th Century BC2. The Four Noble Truths in Buddhism include the presence of suffering (Diagnosis), its cause (Aetiology), that it can be ended (Prognosis) and the Eight-Fold Noble Path (Prescription). The Eight-Fold Noble Path includes Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness (Sati), Right Concentration, Right Aspiration, and Right View. Mindfulness is also one of the seven factors of enlightenment. These include Mindfulness, Investigation of reality, Energy, Rapture, Tranquility, Concentration and Equanimity. Mindfulness in the Buddhist practice is like overseeing a situation (for example, a cowherd sits in a relaxed manner and watches his cows over a distance). In the practice of mindfulness there is also a sense of restraint i.e. bare attention and avoiding to get carried away by associations, projections, evaluations, proliferations etc (distractions); focus on here and now and on being non-judgemental. There should be no craving, ill will or ignorance regarding the object of mindfulness. In order to practice or develop mindfulness one could focus on body e.g. breath, posture etc.; sensations or feelings; mind (Chitta) e.g. mental states; and phenomena (Dhammas) e.g. hindrances and aggregates.
