Positive Symptoms

Explanation:

Schizophrenia is a long-term mental disorder of a type involving a breakdown in the relation between thought, emotion, and behaviour, leading to faulty perception, inappropriate actions and feelings, withdrawal from reality and personal relationships into fantasy and delusion, and a sense of mental fragmentation.

Positive signs, such as hallucinations and delusions, are signs where abnormal thoughts, actions or emotions are present when they are usually absent. Bad symptoms, such as flat or low motivation, are when normal thoughts, actions or emotions are not present when they should be present.
