Early Onset SchizophreniaChildren and adolescents with schizophrenia have more difficulty functioning in academic or work settings, and significant impairment usually persists into adulthood. They may have speech or language disorders and in some cases borderline intellectual functioning. These individuals are more likely to complete suicide attempts or die from other accidental causes. Schizophrenia is characterized by positive and negative symptoms. Positive symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, and behavior disturbance. Negative symptoms include blunted affect and attention, apathy, and lack of motivation and social interest.Early-onset schizophrenia is a rare and severe mental illness in which children interpret reality abnormally. There are a range of problems with cognitive functioning, behavior, and emotions. Perceptions may be distorted and children or their parents may report that they have difficulty distinguishing reality. This is a diagnosis that is difficult to confirm in the early stages.The Assignment (2 pages)· Compare at least two evidence-based treatment plans for adults diagnosed withschizophrenia with evidence-based treatment plans for children and adolescentsdiagnosed with schizophrenia.· Explain the legal and ethical issues involved with forcing children diagnosed withschizophrenia to take medication for the disorder and how aPsychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) may address thoseissues.PLEASE REMEMBER to include a title page, introduction, summary, and referencesLearning ResourcesRequired ReadingsSadock, B.
