here is the test for the severity of schizophrenia called PANSS test
this will determine the severity of your scz
what i concluded is the test is …subjective not objective
when i try to answer the questions … i had something like "alot of exclamation marks "
the questions can be answered
you can be optimistic person and answer everything is fine and thereafter you got you had moderate scz or mild scz
and the same person can be pessimistic and had he had severe scz or extremely severe scz
if that person go to his pdoc and was pessimistic person i think he will got alot alot of prescribed meds and vice versa
so i wanna advice you to be optimistic persons when going to doctors
as you see PANSS test is subjective test it depend on you
in my opinion
alot of meds are not good
alot of meds mean alot of side effects
this discovery in fact is not mine 100% but from my previous old doctor who passed away in decembre 2022 … he usually tell me dont talk dont talk …that mean not to complain alot …if i talk he conclude that symptoms really unbearable
good luck
