this disease either are in a coma-like state or hyperactive, however nowadays, it is rare to have this type of
schizophrenia due to improved medications.
UNDIFFERENTIATED SCHIZOPHRENIA
This type of schizophrenia includes all of the other symptoms that catatonic, paranoid, and
disorganized schizophrenia have, except it cannot be determined which symptoms are more
prevalent over the others. Hence, this diagnosis is a hard one to make and even harder to treat.
RESIDUAL SCHIZOPHRENIA

schizophrenia, but little to no symptoms at all. However, patients can still experience delusions
and other symptoms.
WHEN& HOW& WHY

WHEN & WHO? Schizophrenia is thought to occur in late
adolescents or early adulthood.
1% of the US population has schizophrenia and it occurs equally between men and women.
However women’s symptoms usually manifest later in life than male’s.
HOW? Researchers believe that schizophrenia
has something to do with genes.
It has shown that those with close relatives with schizophrenia have a better chance of having the disease.
TREATMENT
Schizophrenia is treated with antipsychotics such as Clozaril. Clozapine aka Clozaril, was
the first anti-psychotic drug introduced in the 90’s. While it is effective in treating
schizophrenia is also can cause agranulocytosis or the loss of white blood
cells.
Other drugs such as olanzapine (Zyprexa), quetiapine (Seroquel�), and risperidone (Risperdal�) have
less risk that Clozapine however, are not as effective.
