,Step-by-Step explanation
Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects a person's ability to think, behave, express
feelings, interpret reality, and interact with others. Schizophrenia is the most chronic and debilitating
of the main psychiatric disorders, despite its rarity.


There are symptoms of Schizophrenia - negative and positive ones.
We will talk about the positive symptoms first.
1.) Hallucinations - the patient can hear, smell, see and feel something that nobody does.
2.) Delusion
- the patient have mistaken or faulty beliefs.
3) Disorganized thoughts - patient is having a hard time to sort out or to arrange his thoughts.
4) Hard to concentrate - lose focus on something or what he does.
5) Movement disorders.




So, we can eliminate "Delusions" (letter B) and "Hallucinations" (Letter D) as choices for negative
symptoms of Schizophrenia.


Now, we will talk about the negative symptoms of Schizophrenia.
1.) Lack of pleasure - the patient does not have joy or being happy whatever he does. Also called
anhedonia.
2.) Trouble of speech - don't show or being open on his thoughts and feelings. Also called alogia.
3.) Flattening - no emotions in talking like monotonal talk.
4.) Withdrawal - no social life or having no plans with friends. Also called apathy.
5) Struggling with the basic chores in daily life - hard to do some basic stuff or stopping taking care
of themselves.
6.) No - follow through - also called avolition.


So, we can say that Anhedonia (letter A) is the answer, but what is Catatonia?
Catatonia is a psychomotor disorder. It involves the connection between the mental and movement
function. Recently, it was thought of as a type of Schizophrenia. Thus, Catatonia is not a negative
symptoms of Schizophrenia.

, Thus, ANHEDONIA (Letter A) is the only negative symptoms of Schizophrenia in the given
choices.
