Question

Dr. Black is interviewing a client. The client displays only the following symptoms: he rarely responds to the doctor’s questions, shows no emotions, and does not make eye contact. Is Dr. Black able to make a diagnosis of schizophrenia?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is NO

Explanation:

Psychiatric diseases are pathologies whose signs and symptoms may be specific for a given disease, but most of the time, the same symptom can appear in more than one. The lack of emotion, inadequate response, little interest, no fixed gaze, do not give the doctor enough grounds to consider that it is a definitive schisophrenia.
