Overview

Schizophrenia is the most catastrophic of all psychological disorders and affects about 2.5 million individuals in the United States alone. It typically begins in young adulthood and can impair social relationships, thinking, and health. Schizophrenia falls along the diagnostic spectrum in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual with other psychotic disorders. While all of these disorders share similar traits, such as hallucinations and delusions, there are clear differentiations between them. This course will discuss schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, their causes, diagnoses, treatments, and how to differentiate between them.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
