Audrey's behavior, characterized by hallucinations, delusions, incoherent speech, and disorientation and the fact that she does not care for herself ( she never bathes or changes her clothes) means that she would be best diagnosed as suffering from schizophreniform disorder. Audrey's symptoms are symptoms of schizophrenia but are present for a significant portion of the time, at least one month.
