Hebephrenic Schizophrenia
Disorganized schizophrenia, also known as hebephrenic schizophrenia is another form of this mental condition. People with this type do not experience delusions or hallucinations. Instead, they tend to have disorganized speech and behavior. Some typical signs include speech disturbances, flat affect, difficulty with daily tasks, disorganized thinking, as well as inappropriate facial reactions or emotions. This subtype tends to occur in young people, ranging from 15 to 25 years old. This leads to a worse prognosis because of cognitive impairments, negative symptoms, and low educational achievement. Therefore, it is important to diagnose and treat the condition as early as possible to achieve better outcomes. [3]
