Eyes could reveal schizophrenia

All human beings are exposed to suffer some kind of mental illness. Regardless of their severity, they all have a common denominator: they isolate and affect the patient in all their relationships, be it work, family or sentimental.

These negative effects can, to some degree, be counteracted if there is an early diagnosis of mental impairment. In the case of schizophrenia it may be possible.

Philip Benson Y David Clair , researchers from University of Aberdee , in Scotland, they discovered a method capable of diagnosing, with 98% certainty, schizophrenia.

Through a simple eye test, specialists were able to determine that people with schizophrenia have a deficit in their ability to track moving objects, as well as keep their gaze fixed on a point.

In addition to this deficit, patients with this disease have a greater deterioration in their eye organs.

Who experiences this Mental illness, He suffers from a distortion in his thoughts and feelings. Practically, the person becomes another. Feel, think and act in ways that are not consistent with your usual responses. For this reason it was called this schizophrenic condition: "split mind."

The research is based on some studies that refer to the relationship that exists between psychotic diseases with irregular movements of the eye. The same as before, they had not been able to put this deficiency as a potential marker of clinical diagnosis.

David Clair and his colleague, Philip Benson hope that with this method, a pioneer in its type, it will be possible to implement in hospitals and clinics more useful, less expensive and more efficient mechanisms to detect this Mental illness and thus prevent many of its damages.
