What is disorganized schizophrenia?


Another subtype is disorganized schizophrenia, which is also lifelong and has the worst prognosis. It is also known as hebephrenic schizophrenia. Disorganized schizophrenia is characterized by incoherent thoughts, bizarre behavior and illogical thinking. Individuals with disorganized schizophrenia are unable to carry out the simple daily living activities like dressing, eating or showering. Most of the individuals are difficult to understand. They do tend to get angry and lash out very easily because of frustration. The majority become institutionalized over time.
