Symptoms not considered negative symptoms of schizophrenia include positive symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. Unlike negative symptoms, which involve a reduction or absence of normal emotional and behavioral functions (such as lack of motivation or reduced emotional expression), positive symptoms reflect an excess or distortion of normal functions. Other examples of non-negative symptoms may include agitation or excitement.
Positive symptoms are the symptoms where a behavior or thought is present that should not be there (i.e. delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, inappropriate emotions). Negative symptoms are the symptoms that are due to the absence of a behavior that should be present (i.e. psychomotor retardation, withdrawal from others, a catatonic state).

The two major categories of symptoms of schizophrenia are positive and negative symptoms. Positive symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking, which reflect an excess or distortion of normal functions. Negative symptoms, on the other hand, involve a reduction or absence of normal emotional responses or behaviors, such as flat affect, lack of motivation, and social withdrawal. Together, these symptoms significantly impact an individual's daily functioning and quality of life.
Type II negative symptoms of schizophrenia include a reduction or absence of normal emotional expression and behavior. Common symptoms are flat affect, lack of motivation (avolition), diminished emotional responsiveness, social withdrawal, and an overall decrease in the ability to experience pleasure (anhedonia). These symptoms significantly impact a person's ability to function socially and occupationally. Unlike positive symptoms, which involve the presence of abnormal thoughts or behaviors, negative symptoms reflect a deficiency in normal emotional and cognitive functions.
People with Type II, or negative schizophrenia, are usually described as poorly adjusted before their schizophrenia slowly overtakes them. They have predominantly "negative" symptoms, such as withdrawal from others and psychomotor retardation.
Schizophrenia symptoms can vary by type but generally include positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms. Positive symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions, are often seen in paranoid schizophrenia, while disorganized schizophrenia may present with erratic speech and behavior. Negative symptoms, like emotional flatness and social withdrawal, can occur across different types. Cognitive symptoms, affecting memory and attention, can also be present, impacting daily functioning regardless of the specific type.
If all of these are negative, then it is likely safe to just treat the symptoms and et small meals
You may be pregnant but took the test too early or its a false negative. A blood type is most accurate.
You could by a small chance, but, you might also imagine the symptoms (phantom pregnancy). Or your pregnancy is too small at the moment. Try testing again in a week or two (when your period hasn't started). If still negative and you got the symptoms and no period then go see a doctor.
