Lack of motivation and enthusiasm. Negativism, pessimism and clinophilia : this is post-psychotic depression, burnout of negative symptoms.

The treatment of negative symptoms is not effective nowadays. It’ s an emerging issue. Pdocs have already difficulties in stabilizing their patients’ positive symptoms. Maybe two, three or more decades ahead are necessary for research advancement and same time before availability on the field.

Schizophrenias are clearly a spectrum of disorders with many variations in symptomatology. Severity seems to be linked with precocity and intensity of both positive and mostly negative.

No, usually negative symptoms are not progressive. But they can be aggravated by the antipsychotic. How much seroquel are you taking?
I think venlafaxine is pretty good against depression you could try to increase the dosage. Maybe 150mg ??

I don’t know my Negative Symptoms have gotten worse over time.
Although I enjoyed myself at the Christmas party last night, I did not socialize so much.
I basically kept to myself.
hey Andrey Sup …??? i just take 25 mg which is very low dose…!!!
and vanlafaxine 75 mg …!!!
I also came to realize we have to have faith on med to get any Better recovery or improvement …!!!
And My parents didn’t know i have Sz they believe i have some sort of depression and self esteem is low…!!! I have full faith in my sister cuz soon i am having monetary Crisis …Cuz my father was a a long Time Sz… He was poor and his income was limited .!!! But he never publicly confess he has SZ…!!! Cuz many people confuses his illness it with
Depression or laziness…And he never has any sleeping disorder like me…!!! And most surprising is the fact That he never took single medicine pills…!!! he is doing ok now…
Unfortunately he has diabetes and high blood pressure …I used to blame my father For my illness…!!! Just an outlet …!!! Do u think my post is Disorganized due to disorganized thought …ok that’s only positive symptoms i have …
Merry X_mas and happy new year to u Andrey…!!!

No I don’t think your speech is disorganized. You make complete sense to me at least. What exactly are your negative symptoms? Don’t use medical words like avolition anhedonia etc. Just plain english

I understand…
I also have a hard time smiling and getting up in the morning.
Do you go out to buy stuff like food or drinks? You should try to go out at least 20min every day. This has helped me a little bit. I also try to read a few chapters until I get bored. I re-read books which have made me happy in the past. It helps me smile and stay optimistic.
