Question.1820 - Identify someone diagnosed with schizophrenia. Break down their symptoms to illustrate positive and negative symptoms.
Answer Below:
Positive symptoms of schizophrenia The positive symptoms of schizophrenia are hallucinations, prominent delusions, bizarre behavior, and formal thought disorder. Research has claim that the positive symptoms of auditory verbal hallucinations are considered second-generation antipsychotic drugs (Marzouk et al., 2021). The consequences and the severity of these symptoms impact the daily functioning of the individual suffering from schizophrenia. Negative symptoms of schizophrenia The negative symptoms of schizophrenia are alogia, blunted affect, asociality, avolition, and anhedonia. The negative symptoms are common in the patients and are considered to be primary, which are responsible for the poor functional and long-term disability in the patients. References Correll, C.
