Question 10 • Psychology ULHS B

Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows.Daniel has been describing situations about being stalked by a government agency that is trying to recover information implanted in his brain. He will also babble incoherently, soil his clothing with excrement, and hold a statue-like pose for hours at a time. Daniel can most likely be diagnosed with __________ schizophrenia.

Answer
A
paranoid
B
catatonic
C
disorganized
D
undifferentiated

Explanation

Daniel shows symptoms associated with several schizophrenia subtypes: persecutory beliefs are paranoid, incoherent babbling and soiling his clothing are disorganized, and holding a statue-like pose is catatonic. Because the scenario includes features from multiple subtypes rather than one clear pattern alone, the best answer is undifferentiated schizophrenia.
