I enjoyed your post for this week. It is hard to believe this is the last week of class yet it is rewarding. I can agree with your take on schizophrenia being a difficult mental disorder. It would be very hard to live with because you don't know any different. The mind tells the person that what they see and hear are really there even though they really are not. Having people not believe you or not understand what is happening would be just as scary and frustrating.

Interpersonal Communication is a crucial part of everyday life. People communicate in many different ways. It can be as simple as a nod to the barista at Starbucks or a "have a good day" at the drive-thru window while getting your breakfast sandwich.

Communication is the process by which two or more people exchange emotions and information. The exchange can be through the components of verbal and non-verbal means. Verbal communication includes language and vocalisation (Lavender, 2010). Non-verbal communication consists of body language and facial expressions. Ekman et al. (1972), cited in Lavender (2010) suggested there are seven facial expressions; happiness, interest, surprise, fear, sadness, anger and disgust. These expressions allow the sender to ensure the receiver has understood the message. The message being communicated can be affected during the transmission process due to external factors, such as noise or the presence of people, which can be responsible for misunderstandings. Other factors include different attitudes or beliefs and language barriers; these factors make the process of communication highly sensitive.
