Question:

Which of the following is NOT a symptom of schizophrenia ?

Options:

loosening of association

perseveration

neologisms

none of the above

Correct Answer:

none of the above

Explanation:

People with schizophrenia may not be able to think logically and may speak in peculiar ways. These formal thought disorders can make communication extremely difficult. These include rapidly shifting from one topic to another so that the normal structure of thinking is muddled and becomes illogical (loosening of associations, derailment), inventing new words or phrases (neologisms), and persistent and inappropriate repetition of the same thoughts (perseveration).
