Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Henry's symptoms of aimless behavior, refusal to wear clothes, use of silly mannerisms, and incontinence in public places are all consistent with characteristics of disorganized schizophrenia. Residual schizophrenia is characterized by a previous history of psychotic episodes with no current positive symptoms, catatonic schizophrenia includes symptoms of immobility and unusual movements, and undifferentiated schizophrenia has symptoms that do not fit clearly into one specific subtype.
