9 Warning Signs and Symptoms of Schizophrenia

Symptoms of Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia can look and feel like different things to every patient. It’s a form of psychosis that leaves people struggling to differentiate what is a real and unreal experience. Some patients will have obvious symptoms, whereas others will have subtle signs that go unnoticed.

For most of those diagnosed, symptoms begin between the ages of 16 and 30. Although men and women are affected equally by schizophrenia, men tend to show symptoms earlier.

A person’s symptoms are a bit complicated to characterize. In general they’re three categories that each relate to different aspects of a person’s mental state. Those symptom categories for schizophrenia include: Positive Symptoms , Negative Symptoms, and Cognitive Symptoms.
