Normal Again: Buffy’s Undifferentiated Schizophrenia
Posted by Rachel on March 31, 2008
I finally found out what that means. There are many kinds of Schizophrenia:
Paranoid- Primary symptoms delusions/hallucinations
Catatonic-… well…. that would involve catatonia
Disorganized- Showing primarily lack of cohesive thought, babbling, “word salad”
Undifferentiated- showing symptoms from various kinds of Schizophrenia
i.e.- Buffy had symptoms of Paranoid and Catatonic Schizophrenia, but since the DSM has this thing about not combining conditions they had to come up with a new one.
