F20.1 Hebephrenic Schizophrenia

A form of schizophrenia in which affective changes are prominent, delusions and hallucinations fleeting and fragmentary, behaviourirresponsible and unpredictable, and mannerisms common. The mood is shallow and inappropirate and often accompanied by giggling orself­satisfied, self­absorbed smiling, or by a lofty manner, grimaces, mannerisms, pranks, hypochondriacal complaints, and reiteratedphrases. Thought is disorganized and speech rambling and incoherent. There is a tendency to remain solitary, and behaviour seems emptyof purpose and feeling. This form of schizphrenia usually starts between the ages of 15 and 25 years and tends to have a poor prognosisbecause of the rapid development of “negative” symptoms, particularly flattening of affect and loss of volition.

In addition, disturbances of affect and volition, and thought disorder are usually prominent. Hallucinations and delusions may be presentbut are not usually prominent. Drive and determination are lost and goals abandoned, so that the patient’s behaviour becomescharacteristically aimless and empty of purpose. A superficial and manneristic preoccupation with religion, philosophy, and other abstractthemes may add to the listener’s difficulty in following the train of thought.
