🧵 (1/2) Key Differences between Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, while both serious mental health conditions, differ significantly in their symptoms and patterns. Schizophrenia mainly involves psychotic symptoms like hallucinations and delusions. On the other hand, bipolar disorder is characterized by mood disturbances, including both manic and depressive episodes. In terms of their course, schizophrenia tends to have more constant and persistent symptoms, whereas bipolar disorder is marked by alternating periods of mania and depression.

(2/2) 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. /cryptosapiens 🧠
