Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positive symptoms in schizophrenia refer to the presence of excessive or distorted behaviors, such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized speech or behavior. These symptoms "add" to a person's experience, compared to negative symptoms which "take away" from a person's functioning or motivation. Primary and secondary symptoms are not commonly used to describe schizophrenia symptoms.
