According to secret series,
Poor prognostic factors for schizophrenia
-early onset
-negative symptoms
-no precipitating factors
-family history of schizophrenia ( family history of mood disorder is good prognostic factor)
-poor premorbid functioning
-single, divorced or widowed status, poor support system
