What is disorganized schizophrenia?

In: Health, Mental Health, Schizophrenia [Edit categories]

Answer:

Disorganized schizophrenia, otherwise known as hebephrenic schizophrenia, is a form of schizophrenia with the main symptom of disorganized affect. Disorganized affect is a severe problem with appropriate expression of emotions. If Ann habitually laughs in sad or boring situations, is sometimes sad when the mood is happy, or is angry with literally no provocation, then Ann might have disorganized schizophrenia.
On the lighter side, disorganization in a psychiatric context is a fancy term for scatter-brained. But when a schizophrenic is scatterbrained, we're talking a major scattering of the brains (so to speak).
