The undifferentiated subtype is diagnosed when individuals have symptoms of schizophrenia that are not clear or specific enough to permit classification of the mental disorder into one of the other subtypes. The symptoms may fluctuate at different points in time, resulting in confusion and uncertainty as to the correct subtype of schizophrenia. Other individuals may people exhibit symptoms that are remarkably stable over time but still not fit one of the typical subtype pictures. In either instance, diagnosis of the undifferentiated subtype may best describe the mixed clinical syndrome.
