  • The patient showed no characteristic schizophrenic perception disorders, delusions, or other positive symptoms.

Findings:

  • The case exemplifies diagnostic dilemmas in schizophrenia, particularly when positive symptoms are absent.
  • Careful application of diagnostic criteria is crucial for accurate schizophrenia diagnosis in complex cases.
