Kurt Schneider laid down the First Rank Symptoms of Schizophrenia.
They're tedious to remember but we need to know them for MCQs and entrance tests!
So here goes :
Mnemonic :
ABDS VV (Very Vella)
A = Audible Thoughts (Echo de la Penses)
B = Broadcasting Thoughts + Insertion/Withdrawal of Thoughts
D = Delusional Perception
S = Somatic Passivity
V = Volition absent (Avolition)
V = Voices speaking / Arguing
That's all !
Few contributions to Schizophrenia :
The word was Coined by : Bleuler
Demence Praecoxe : Morel
Dementia Praecox : Kraeplin
1st rank symptoms : Schneider
Bleuler also gave the 4 A's of Schizophrenia !
They are Avolition, Autism , Ambivalence and flat affect.
Hope this was a good list for you !
Happy studying !
Stay awesome !

Hi Burkholderia,
ReplyDeletei wish to draw your attention to the listed bleuler's 4 A's of schizophrenia which should be loosening ASSOCIATION, ftattened AFFECT, AMBIVALENCE (same as AVOLITION), and AUTISM, as opposed to what you posted.
good job!
Do you have a way to remember these 4As? I get them confused as there are many As other than this 4As in negative symptoms.
DeleteThen remember the 2nd letter in As.
