    DSM criteria

    A type of Schizophrenia in which symptoms that meet Criterion A are present, but the criteria are not met for the Paranoid, Disorganized, or Catatonic Type.

    • Criterion A
      • delusions
      • hallucinations
      • disorganized speech (e.g., frequent derailment or incoherence)
      • grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior
      • negative symptoms (e.g., affective flattening, alogia, or avolition)
    • * Note: Only one Criterion A symptom is required if delusions are bizarre or hallucinations consist of a voice keeping up a running commentary on the person’s behavior or thoughts, or two or more voices conversing with each other.
