A clarification of term please?

What are “positive” symptoms and what are “negative” symptoms?

Positive symptoms are the ones that add to your personality: paranoia, hallucinations, delusions, voices.

Negative symptoms take from your person, like:
Lack of iniative, lack of enjoyment, lack of energy, lack of concentration.

Yeah…

The positives are when you go off the rails mentally.

The negatives are like having trouble shaving, showering, eating properly, sleeping…etc.

Positives are symptoms that are present that shouldn’t be. Negatives are absent.
