Negative Symptoms
Captions available
The idea
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia are reductions in normal functioning, including flattened affect, reduced speech, and loss of motivation.
In practice
A person speaks rarely, shows little facial expression, and initiates almost nothing.
Where people slip
Negative symptoms respond less well to available medication and predict long-term functioning more strongly.
