A 22-year-old female college student is brought into the emergency room by the police, who found her walking
back and forth across a busy street, talking to herself. The young woman appears to be oriented with respect to
person, place, and time. Her first hospital admission was two months ago for a similar condition. During a
psychiatric interview, she has difficulty concentrating, and seems to hear voices. A phone call to her sister
provides the additional information that the girl dropped out of school three months ago and has been living on
the street. Urine toxicology is negative. This patient is most likely exhibiting the signs and symptoms of
A. schizoaffective disorder
B. schizoid personality disorder
C. schizophrenia
D. schizophreniform disorder
E. schizotypal personality disorder
how do u tell all these apart?
