Answers:
Symptoms of schizophrenia can be categorized into three categories: positive, negative, and disorganized!.

Positive symptoms are those that are added to a person's behavior!. They might include having hallucinations (hearing voices, conversations, etc, that others do not hear), having persistent irrational beliefs (believing, for instance, that they work for the CIA when they in fact don't), and motor abnormalities (thought these typically aren't noted by untrained observers)!.

Negative symptoms are those that the person has "lost"!. These include flat affect (basically a lack of emotional output), anahedonia (inability to get pleasure from anything), and similar characteristics!.

Disorganized symptoms can be put into either of the above categories, but are easier to understand if you consider them separately!. These are issues of disorganized speech and thought, and generally show up in storie that are at best hard to follow to anyone other than the individual telling them!. They may change subjects rapidly, rely heavily on alliteration or rhyming, or otherwise be unable to organize complete thoughts in a verbally meaningful way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

**Seeing and hearing things others do not hear and see (i!.e!., auditory and visual hallucinations)

**Strongly believing something that is not true (i!.e!., delusions)!. An example would be a strong belief that one's thoughts are being broadcast to others

**Lack of motivation for work or play (i!.e!., avolition)

The above are a few of the major symptoms in layman's terms!.
