Positive Symptoms

Captions available

The idea

Positive symptoms of schizophrenia are experiences added to normal functioning, including delusions and hallucinations.

In practice

Auditory hallucinations are the most common form, often experienced as voices commenting or conversing.

Where people slip

Positive here means added, not beneficial. The word describes presence rather than value.
