Hey there,
Thank you for continuing to be a part of the Health Storylines community. We know your symptoms are an important part of your journey so we wanted to talk about them in this newsletter. Did you know that there are different categories of schizophrenia symptoms?
Noticing changes in your symptoms and when they occur is an important part of your journey; we can help you with that!
In 1911, psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler was the first to use the term ‘schizophrenia’. He noticed that symptoms of people with schizophrenia tended to fall into two distinct categories: termed “positive” and “negative”.
Understanding these symptoms and when you tend to experience them is important for managing your schizophrenia. This week, how about you take time to notice when you are affected by your positive or negative symptoms by tracking your mood along with writing in your journal?
