Question

A hospital patient was diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia because she was having both delusions and hallucinations. what type of symptoms are these?

Answer 1

Psychological impairments can put delusions and hallucinations into that category. This does not mean it is schizophrenia, it can also be a diagnosis for psychotic depression, bipolar, etc.

Answer 2

Answer:

Positive symptoms

Explanation:

Positive and negative symptoms are medical terms to refer to the presence (+) or absence (-) of a symptom. Hallucinations (the pacient might hear, see, smell, or feel things no one else does) and delusions (beliefs that seem strange to most people) are positive symptoms of schizofrenia.
