For example, frequent derailment or incoherence. 4. Grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior. (Note: do not include a symptom if it is a culturally sanctions response.) Duration of an episode of the disturbance is at least one day but less than one month, with eventual full return to premorbid level of functioning.
Schizophreniform Disorder
Two or more of the following, each present for a significant portion of the time during a 1-month period (or less if successfully treated). At east one of these must be (1), (2), or (3). 1. Delusions. 2. Hallucinations. 3. Disorganized Speech (frequent derailment or incoherence). 4. Grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior. 5. Negative symptoms.
