The symptom of not showering for days on end is a negative symptom, meaning it is a decrease or absence of typical behaviors or experiences. Negative symptoms tend to persist outside of acute episodes of schizophrenia and can have a significant impact on an individual's daily functioning. The other symptoms listed (hearing voices and thinking thoughts are being broadcast) are positive symptoms, meaning they are an excess or distortion of typical behaviors or experiences, and may be more present during acute episodes of schizophrenia.
