Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Schizophreniform disorder is a type of psychotic disorder where the symptoms are similar to schizophrenia but they last for less than 6 months. This is different from brief psychotic disorder which lasts for less than a month and schizophrenia which lasts for 6 months or longer. Schizoaffective disorder involves both psychotic symptoms and mood symptoms, while late-onset schizophrenia is simply schizophrenia that develops later in life. Shared psychotic disorder involves the transmission of delusional beliefs from one person to another who is in a close relationship with them.
