Key Concepts

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental health disorder characterized by a range of symptoms that affect thinking, perception, emotions, and behavior. Its symptoms are typically divided into positive symptoms, which add abnormal functions such as hallucinations and delusions, and negative symptoms, which represent a loss or diminution of normal functions.

Negative Symptoms

Negative symptoms refer to deficits in normal emotional and behavioral processes such as reduced emotional expression (blunted affect), diminished motivation, lack of pleasure in everyday activities, and social withdrawal. These symptoms are often less responsive to treatment and critically impact an individual’s ability to function in social and occupational settings.
