Madge” was found wandering the streets of New Jersey. She was brought to the attention of a licensed clinical social worker because she would routinely stand in automobile traffic and scream obscenities at the top of her lungs to no one in particular. During one of “Madge’s” rare lucid moments, she told the social worker that she lived in a garbage dumpster and that she obeyed voices who commanded her to do the things she did. A search by police and news agencies for friends or relatives proved futile; no one seemed to know who “Madge” was, she seemed to have nowhere to go, and her disordered thinking was becoming more and more bizarre. What is his disorder?

Answer:

Madge is likely to have schizophrenia.

Explanation:

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that causes an individual to suffer delusions and hallucinations that cause totally abnormal and parranoic behaviors.

As has already been said, schizophrenia causes altered and abnormal behaviors, confused thoughts and difficulties in adapting to reality. It is a very disabling disease and can cause an individual to completely lose control of his mental faculties.

Madge's behavior shows that he has confused thoughts, paranoid behaviors and loss of reality, so we can say that he is likely to have schizophrenia.
