Types Of Schizophrenia
In the past, mental health specialists divided schizophrenia into the following subtypes:
- Catatonic
- Disorganized
- Paranoid
- Residual
- Undifferentiated
Catatonic Schizophrenia:
Strange, restricted, and abrupt movements indicate the most uncommon kind of schizophrenia. Sometimes you may alternate between being quite busy and being very still. You might not speak much and imitate other people’s movements and speech.
Disorganized Schizophrenia:
Because these individuals typically exhibit disorganized speech and conduct, hebephrenic schizophrenia is also known as disorganized schizophrenia. They could also exhibit incorrect emotional behavior or show no emotion at all.
Paranoid Schizophrenia:
The most typical form of schizophrenia is this one. It could take longer to develop than other types. Hallucinations and delusions are among the symptoms, however, your speech and emotions might not be affected.
Residual Schizophrenia:
If you have had psychosis in the past but are only currently experiencing the negative symptoms, you may be diagnosed with residual schizophrenia (such as slow movement, poor memory, lack of concentration, and poor hygiene).
Undifferentiated Schizophrenia:
Your diagnosis may have some signs of paranoid, hebephrenic, or catatonic schizophrenia, but it doesn’t obviously fit into one of these types alone.
