Case study of schizophrenia:Amanda is 25 and has a history of Major Depressive Disorder, and has been being treated for it for the past year. She is super sad, irritable, and withdraws from her friends and family. She usually feels negatively about herself, and has gained weight from mindlessly eating and not moving around as much. However, while she is socially withdrawing, it seems to be more because she does not trust her friends (who she says are reporting on her to the FBI). She has very flat affect, and she does not seem interested in doing anything. Nothing brings her joy. Additionally, lately when she is talking, she will be hard to understand because she makes up words (saying: "I'm going to the park to ride the wallywhoop." ). Her parents are reminded of one time, in high school, she (for almost 20 days) was convinced that the FBI was bugging their home and that they would come and take her away from her parents. During that time, she refused to leave the home. However, this episode eventually passed. A. Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder B. Schizophreniform Disorder C. Schizoaffective Disorder D.
