Schizophrenia is often marked by both positive and negative symptoms. Delusional disorder is characterized by delusions that are unaccompanied by other psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations.

There’s more to the diagnoses than these symptoms. One’s functioning and the timing of the symptoms are also important, as is excluding other possible diagnoses.

I agree, but not that helpful, because some people can only have delusions, function well in society and still be diagnosed with Schizophrenia.

Speaking of Schizophrenia Spectrum.
