Classification
- Historically, schizophrenia in the West was classified into simple, catatonic, hebephrenic (now known as disorganized), and paranoid.
- The DSM- IV contains five sub-classifications of schizophrenia: Paranoid, disorganized, catatonic, undifferentiated and residual type, but, this classification has been eliminated due to their limited diagnostic stability, low reliability and poor validity.
- There is no established system for the classification of schizophrenia as per the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, Fifth Edition, (DSM-V)
- According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, (DSM-V, to meet the criteria for diagnosis of schizophrenia, the patient must have experienced at least 2 (or more) of the following symptoms:
- Delusions
- Hallucinations
- Disorganized speech
- Disorganized or catatonic behavior
- Negative symptoms
- At least 1 of the symptoms must be the presence of delusions, hallucinations, or disorganized speech.
- Continuous signs of the disturbance must persist for at least 6 months, during which the patient must experience at least 1 month of active symptoms (or less if successfully treated), with impairment in social, occupational and other significant areas of functioning. The symptoms are not attributable to any other psychiatric , medical or substance use disorder.
- If there is a history of autism spectrum disorder or a communication disorder of childhood onset, diagnosis of schizophrenia is made only if prominent delusions or hallucinations,in addition to the other required symptoms of schizophrenia, are also present for at least 1 month(or less if successfully treated)
