OK
Delusion is a false belief or opinion, someone is following you when no one really is.
Hallucinations are seeing things that aren’t there, literally speaking
Disorganized speech and behavior are disordered or jumbled. The patient displays emotional responses which are not appropriate for the given situation.
Catatonic behavior: Unusual body movements such as a loss of or scarcity of motion are usually present. On the other hand, there may be agitation and excessive body movements that seem to be without direction. Mutism is common.
