Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms mentioned in the scenario, such as holding the same pose for hours and continuing to hold a new pose regardless of how grotesque it is, are characteristic of catatonic-type schizophrenia. Type I and Type II schizophrenia are not specific subtypes of schizophrenia recognized in the DSM-5. Somatic symptom disorder is a separate diagnosis characterized by physical symptoms that have no medical explanation.
