AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Because many people with schizophrenia are unable to maintain a daily routine and have trouble completing basic functions, they may not bathe or shower on a regular basis, nor do laundry, and they might wear the same clothes day after day.

Detailed explanation-2: -Schizophrenia usually involves delusions (false beliefs), hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that don’t exist), unusual physical behavior, and disorganized thinking and speech. It is common for people with schizophrenia to have paranoid thoughts or hear voices.

Detailed explanation-3: -Negative symptoms reflect the loss of ability to do or experience things. Examples of avolition in schizophrenia might be the inability to care for personal hygiene or participate in work or recreational activities.

Detailed explanation-4: -Epidemiological studies show that exposure to early stress in the form of abuse and neglect in childhood increases the risk to later develop schizophrenia (Bonoldi et al., 2013).
