Evolution of schizophrenia: Difference between revisions

The evolution of schizophrenia refers to the theory of natural selection working in favor of selecting traits that are characteristic of the disorder.
Positive symptoms are features that are not present in healthy individuals but appear as a result of the disease process.
These include visual and/or auditory hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, and major thought disorders.
Negative symptoms refer to features that are normally present but are reduced or absent as a result of the disease process, including social withdrawal, apathy, anhedonia, alogia, and behavioral perseveration.
Cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia involve disturbances in executive functions, working memory impairment, and inability to sustain attention.
