Symptoms
Schizophrenia may have a variety of symptoms. Usually the illness
develops slowly over months or even years.
At first, the symptoms may not be noticeable. For example, you may
feel tense, or have trouble sleeping or concentrating. You can become
isolated and withdrawn, and have trouble making or keeping friends.
As the illness continues, psychotic symptoms develop:
• An appearance or mood that shows no emotion (flat affect)
• Bizarre motor behavior in which there is less reaction to the
environment (catatonic behavior)
• False beliefs or thoughts that have nothing to do with reality
(delusions)
• Hearing, seeing, or feeling things that are not there
(hallucinations)
• Thoughts "jump" between unrelated topics (disordered thinking)
