Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals with schizophrenia who primarily exhibit positive symptoms (such as hallucinations or delusions) tend to have a history of better functioning prior to hospitalization and generally have a better prognosis for recovery compared to those with predominantly negative symptoms (such as apathy or lack of emotion). Positive symptoms are often more responsive to treatment, contributing to a more favorable outcome.
