LOINC description : A questionnaire to assess schizophrenia, a condition that lasts 6 months or more including
a period of 1 month or more characterized by two or more of the following: delusions,
hallucinations, disorganized speech, grossly disorganized behavior, catatonic behavior,
or negative symptoms (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). This measure is used
to screen an individual for schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is an often devastating neuropsychiatric
condition that occurs in about 1% of the population and demonstrates a familial pattern
with higher rates in first degree relatives of patients with schizophrenia when compared
to the general population. Several strong candidate genes have been identified. Studies
of identical and fraternal twins with schizophrenia have also indicated that environmental
factors also play a role in etiology. Schizophrenia may co-occur with a number of
other conditions including alcohol, tobacco and substance abuse or dependence, violent
behavior, and symptoms of depression, mania, and anxiety (American Psychiatric Association,
2000).;
