Signs And Symptoms Of Schizophrenia

By admin | July 27, 2008

Catatonic signs and symptoms appear in a number of medical and psychiatric disorders. Therefore, having these manifestations doesn’t mean a person necessarily has schizophrenia. And there are no blood or brain-imaging tests that can be used to make a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

A complete diagnostic workup includes both general medical and psychiatric assessments. A diagnosis of catatonic schizophrenia indicates that the catatonic symptoms are dominant, the person has other symptoms of schizophrenia and the symptoms can’t be attributed to other disorders.
