Lounge

Here’s a structured list of Schneider’s first-rank symptoms:

  1. Auditory hallucinations

    • Voices commenting: Hearing voices that comment on one’s actions.

    • Voices conversing: Hearing two or more voices talking to each other about the patient.

    • Thought echo: Hearing one’s own thoughts spoken aloud as they occur.

  2. Thought disorders

    • Thought insertion: Belief that thoughts are being placed into one’s mind by an external force.

    • Thought withdrawal: Belief that thoughts are being removed or stolen from one’s mind.

    • Thought broadcasting: Belief that one’s thoughts are being broadcast so that others can hear them.

  3. Passivity phenomena (delusions of control)

    • Made feelings: Feeling that one’s emotions are imposed by an external force.

    • Made impulses: Feeling that one’s actions or impulses are controlled by an external influence.

    • Made volition: Feeling that one’s will or intentions are controlled externally.

  4. Delusional perception

    • Assigning a bizarre or personal meaning to a normal perception (e.g., seeing a simple gesture and believing it has special significance directed at them).

:white_check_mark: Key point: First-rank symptoms are not diagnostic by themselves, but their presence strongly supports a diagnosis of schizophrenia when accompanied by other features like negative symptoms, social dysfunction, or chronicity.

Its currently the ICD-11. Thats the diagnostic tool and manual used in the most the world… bar a few places like America and Australia, who use the DSM.
