yeah the question is a bit contradictory, its says symptoms started 7 months ago (that hints towards schizophrenia (>6mo)
then it states that her sx started 4 months ago when she lost her job (schizophreniform <6mo)
so plz make it clear, thanks

I think it should be schizophrenia.
but can someone add as to why it need not be Delusional disorder?
