Detailed explanation-1: -Symptoms of schizophrenia are categorized as “positive” or “negative.” A positive symptom, such as delusions or hallucinations, adds a feeling or behavior that isn’t typically experienced by most people without schizophrenia.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why are they called positive? They are called positive symptoms because they refer to changes in behaviors or thoughts that came about after the individual developed schizophrenia, rather than before.
Detailed explanation-3: -The symptoms of schizophrenia are usually classified into: positive symptoms – any change in behaviour or thoughts, such as hallucinations or delusions. negative symptoms – where people appear to withdraw from the world around then, take no interest in everyday social interactions, and often appear emotionless and flat.
Detailed explanation-4: -Delusional disorder is different from schizophrenia because there aren’t any other psychotic symptoms other than delusions. In addition, in contrast to schizophrenia, delusional disorder is relatively rare, and daily functioning isn’t as impaired as it is in schizophrenia.
