I cant do things what i should do. I can get pleasure from some actions, like eating, but amount of this actions is very low. I sleep 12 hours. I dont want to talk with people. I cant realize my feelings and my family feelings. Sometimes i even cant talk, there is a mental block or something like that.
My diagnosis is F20.024, but I cant understand, is it negative symptoms or just a laziness like my dad says…
Sounds like negative symptoms to me. Here’s the list of Negative symptoms of schizophrenia:
Negative mental symptoms
- a seeming lack of interest in the world
- not wanting to interact with other people (social withdrawal)
- an inability to feel or express pleasure (anhedonia)
- an inability to act spontaneously
- decreased sense of purpose
- lack of motivation (avolition)
- not talking much
- difficulty speaking due to disorganized thinking (alogia)
Negative physical symptoms
- an inexpressive or blank face (flat affect)
- monotone or monosyllabic speech
- lack of gesturing when communicating
- lack of eye contact
- physical inactivity
And welcome to the forum btw
take it easy.maybe try meditation or praying.say relaxing words to yourself.
Welcome to the forum! And yes, sounds like negative symptoms, which can be debilitating and very difficult to treat. One difference I’ve found between negatives and being lazy is that with negatives, it’s distressing to you because you’re lacking in those areas. It’s not like laziness where you just avoid doing something because you’d rather do something else. That’s how I feel it anyway.
