Schizophrenia
When it comes to symptoms, schizophrenia can be divided into positive, negative, and cognitive categories.
Positive symptoms include hallucinations (often auditory), delusions, and disorganised thinking and speech.
Negative symptoms are characterized by reduced emotional expression, lack of motivation, and social withdrawal.
Cognitive symptoms involve impaired memory, attention, and executive functioning.
The course of schizophrenia typically involves chronic and persistent symptoms, with onset, like bipolar disorder, usually occurring in late adolescence or early adulthood. The causes of schizophrenia are largely unknown but are believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurobiological factors, with dopamine dysregulation often implicated.
