Diagnosing Schizophrenia
Many researchers believe that a distinction between Type I and Type II schizophrenia helps predict the course of the disorder
· Type I schizophrenia is dominated by positive symptoms
· Seem to have better adjustment prior to the disorder, later
onset of symptoms, and greater likelihood of improvement
· May be linked more closely to biochemical abnormalities in
the brain
· Type II schizophrenia is dominated by negative symptoms
· May be tied largely to structural abnormalities in the brain
