Mr. Dashiell, a 25-year-old man, is brought to the mental health unit for a checkup following some delusions. Upon interaction with the family members who brought him to the hospital, Dr. Francis, a Clinical Psychologist in the hospital found out that he always claims that some people were after his life and that the next door neighbor was involved. The medic also learned that Dashiell experienced hallucinations as he could sometimes talk by himself believing that he was talking to his long dead ancestors. According to the family members who shared this information, this strange behavior had lasted for more than two months. Observing the patient, he found out that he was dirty, disorganized, and he never seemed to care about his hygiene. Most of the time, Mr. Dashiell preferred sitting in isolation without interacting, eating, or doing anything. His speech was poor, and he did not talk much. He would sit and fail to move even an inch even for a whole day. He also found that the patient was having a problem with his thoughts as he seemed to have a disorganized mind. The thoughts appeared to be incoherent. He found out that Mr. Dashiell had lost tangentially, suffered neologisms, suffered thought to block, and his thoughts were broadcasted.

First of all, he experiences the lack of emotion, and that can be witnessed in Mr. Dashiell’s inability to engage in activities that were fun before. Also, the patient displays a schizophrenia-specific low level of energy. Mr. Dashiell started to sleep more than he normally did and lost any interest in life lately. Accordingly, even the level of his motivation dropped significantly. Another symptom that contributes to the idea that Mr. Dashiell has schizophrenia is his blunted facial expression. The latter can also be characterized as affective flattening because the patient became less lively and gave up on the majority of physical movements that were typical of him in the past. From time to time, Mr. Dashiell also suffers from the inability to speak properly (this is known as alogia). One of the most critical symptoms is the patient’s lack of interest in interacting with other people. The low level of socialization also hints at the idea that these schizophrenic symptoms have to be treated as soon as possible. Expanding on the topic of socialization, Mr. Dashiell does not care if he has friends anymore. He does not want either to make or keep friends. The symptom of social isolati
