Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tom's speech and behavior are disorganized and do not follow a logical pattern, and he exhibits inappropriate affect with giggling for no apparent reason, which are common symptoms of disorganized schizophrenia. Catatonic schizophrenia is characterized by motor disturbances, paranoid schizophrenia is defined by delusions and auditory hallucinations which are not present in this scenario, and undifferentiated schizophrenia would require a mixture of symptoms from different subtypes which is not evident here.
