Never heard of it but I mainly adhere to the dsm since it’s what is mainly used in the US at least

Treatment
L-DOPA is effective against reduced affect display and emotional withdrawal, aloofness from society, apathy.

Ldopa fixed my negative symptoms but it worsened psychosis.

I’ve heard of it.

Yes, of course i know it.
We had some users
with simple sz here.

Yes, I heard of it, because someone at my family doctor’s claims that’s what I have. I have paranoid schizophrenia. Simple schizophrenia has the earliest onset and doesn’t have delusions or hallucinations. I was 35 when I began having auditory hallucinations. My mother was around the same age.

Yes, I’m aware of it. I went through a period (before I ever had any hallucinations) where I considered simple schizophrenia as a possible diagnosis. I have since realised, that simple schizophrenia is a very serious condition of progressive worsening, in contrast to schizoid personality disorder, which is stable and less disabling. Therefore, the latter is a better fit.
