Background

  • A mental disorder with characteristic symptoms identical to schizophrenia, distinguished by the total duration of illness of at least 1 month but less than 6 months

Clinical Features

  • A. Two (or more) of the following, each present for a significant portion of time during a 1 month period (or less if successfully treated). At least one of these must be (1), (2), or (3):[1]
    • 1. Delusions
    • 2. Hallucinations
    • 3. Disorganized speech (e.g., frequent derailment or incoherence)
    • 4. Grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior
    • 5. Negative symptoms (i.e., diminished emotional expression or avolition)
  • B. An episode of the disorder lasts at least 1 month but less than 6 months. When the diagnosis must be made without waiting for recovery, it should be qualified as “provisional.”
  • C. Schizoaffective disorder and depressive or bipolar disorder with psychotic features have been ruled out because either:
    • 1) no major depressive or manic episodes have occurred concurrently with the active-phase symptoms, or
    • 2) if mood episodes have occurred dur­ing active-phase symptoms, they have been present for a minority of the total duration of the active and residual periods of the illness.
  • D. The disturbance is not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or another medical condition.
