Stereotyped behavior is not a symptom of schizophrenia

Stereotyped behavior is not a symptom of schizophrenia; it's a way of relieving stress that everyone has.

 

[ADHD] Stereotypic behavior [Autism] Minor Warning

When humans feel anxious about something, they think about it, find answers and ways to overcome it, and resolve the anxiety.

One way to resolve anxiety is to keep doing one thing to distance yourself from anxious thoughts and to keep the anxiety at bay.

This is called a stereotypic behavior.

Young children and children who are still developing often engage in tics and stereotypic behaviors when they feel "unpleasant" or "stressed."

Even adults unconsciously touch their face or hair.

Blinking, tearing out your hair, shaking your knees, or walking around the room in circles when you are thinking can also be considered stereotypic behaviors.

If you are having an awkward conversation, it's the same logic to "laugh it off" or "check your smartphone for now."

In this way, humans unconsciously engage in repetitive behaviors to temporarily escape from stressors when they experience stress, unpleasant events, or troubles.

They introduce another stimulus to distract them from the stress.

Conversely, as the brain develops and intelligence and wisdom are acquired, these primitive behaviors decrease, and the person becomes able to organize and deal with feelings of anxiety on their own.

People who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia and are undergoing treatment are always given antipsychotic drugs, which make the mind foggy if taken for an extended period of time.

Therefore, brain function, or mental agility, remains in a state of decline.

So when something anxious or unpleasant happens, or when a choice is forced upon them, tics and repetitive behaviors occur.

These are tense and flustered behaviors.

It is said that "distraction" is an important way to relieve tension.

Tips for speaking without getting nervous in front of others✨For those whose minds go blank in front of a large crowd

Tension and anxiety can be reduced by doing difficult hand exercises that turn inward awareness outward.

In fact, at sports venues, you often see athletes constantly moving their bodies and checking their movements, sweating.

Moving your body relieves tension.

The stereotyped behavior of schizophrenia and autism is similar to the warming up of athletes before a match.

In our daily lives, we are constantly asked to make judgments and decisions.

If you don't leave the house and spend the whole day lounging around eating and sleeping, you don't use your brain, so you don't get nervous.

If you live like that, it's obvious that you will feel in danger and become extremely nervous when you are asked to make a decision over something small.

If you are in a psychiatric hospital, not working, having food served to you, and having three meals and a nap, you will get nervous if you talk to people other than patients and nurses.

Furthermore, if you are given a role and take on a position of responsibility, the pressure of "not being able to fail" will suddenly increase your tension.

In this way, life is a constant stream of judgments and decisions, and the right answer is not always found immediately.

It is a continuous process of using your brain to the fullest and "finding the right answer appropriate to the situation."

It can be said that living life using your brain to the fullest is what it means to be "human."

If you can find the answer, if you can derive the right answer with instantaneous judgment, you will not feel tense and your stereotyped behavior will decrease.

It is a mistake for a psychiatrist to administer a sedative if someone becomes tense or anxious.

Removing tension with a sedative robs the person of the chance to resolve their tension themselves, and in the long run, it robs them of their humanity and sociability.

＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞【In my case】

I also work in public, so I get nervous when lecturing to people for the first time or in classes where I don't know many people.

My students tell me stories of when they were nervous, saying things like, "The teacher blinks a lot," "his hand movements are funny," "he keeps talking even if the microphone is far away," and "he talks really fast."

In fact, when I get nervous, I "sweat profusely."

That's why I always make sure to carry two handkerchiefs with me.

And instead of jumping straight into the lecture, I review the previous lecture and answer any open-ended questions from the previous lecture, so that the students think, "Oh, I see."

Through my lectures, I want to convey to my students, in terms of the content of the lecture, "① to tell them what will be asked in the exam," and, secondly, "② to get them interested in my own thought process."

This point ② is important, because if they are interested in my thought process and personality, it gives me the opportunity to tell them, "This is how you think when you believe in God."

In fact, when I started reading the Rapt blog and learned about the Rapt theory, I understood the mechanisms of this world, started reading paid articles, and even came to understand the laws of this world.

And before long, the negative effects of tension began to decrease.

Skilled gamers don't just have fast reaction times; they also have a high ability to see into human psychology through the game's rules and character settings.

Rapt, the author of the Rapt blog, not only has a fast brain, but also knows the rules of this world better than anyone else, so he can interpret things from a perspective beyond the human level and explain events that may seem complicated in a simple way.

He also teaches us about life, saying, "Feelings of anxiety and worry arise from not understanding,

and evil people under Satan intentionally spread lies and make everything "unintelligible," which makes life feel painful and harsh, and turns it into hell."

When you encounter something unknown, anxiety and tension arise.

However, once you understand it, these feelings decrease and are only temporary.

The key to reducing or eliminating stereotyped behavior begins with "knowing God."

Finally, we would like to introduce a very helpful article.

"RAPT Paid Article 674 (August 13, 2022) Satan makes us humans lose sight of everything, and God guides us to understand everything. Therefore, study and pray until you understand everything you do not understand. https://rapt-neo.com/?p=57125"

I hope that those who are troubled by tension and anxiety will encounter God's Word and be able to live a life free from these negative emotions.
