In reply to different types of schizophrenia???, posted by B2chica on August 18, 2005, at 9:40:45
> can you have schizophrenia without the hallucinations/voices?
> can you describe what kinds of disturbances you encounter?I would have thought so, you could have delusions, thought insertion, messages, paranoia etc as well as negative symptoms such as blunted or inappropriate effect. I think there is a diagnosis of schizophrenia with only negative symptoms called residual schisophrenia though usually one would have it after having 'recovered' from a psychotic episode. Theres also the schizophrenia spectrum disorders schizoid personality disorder which includes antisocial aloofness and schizotypal personality disorder which includes semi psychotic 'magical thinking' neither need to have voices or hallucinations. So in short yes I would think so!
