Question: what is the difference between schizophrenia and paranoid schizophrenia?
Answer: Paranoid schizophrenia. The term "paranoid schizophrenia" is no longer used in the United States, since the 2013 change in the DSM-V that classifies the range of symptoms of former sub-types all under "schizophrenia". Schizophrenia is defined as "a chronic mental disorder in which a person is withdrawn from reality".
