Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erin likely has the Paranoid subtype of schizophrenia, which is characterized by delusions and hallucinations. This subtype often develops later in life and can include auditory hallucinations. The other subtypes (Disorganized, Catatonic, and Residual) do not necessarily have prominent auditory hallucinations as a defining feature.
