What Is Schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia is a serious mental health condition characterized by disruptions in thinking, perception, and behavior. It involves two broad categories of symptoms: positive symptoms — such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking — and negative symptoms — such as emotional withdrawal, reduced motivation, and diminished speech. Schizophrenia is distinct from psychosis, though psychosis is one of its core features. Psychotic episodes can also occur in bipolar disorder, severe depression, and other conditions.

Can an Online Test Diagnose Schizophrenia?

No. Schizophrenia requires a thorough clinical evaluation by a licensed psychiatrist. The tools on this page are validated screening instruments used in research and clinical settings to assess symptom severity, functional impairment, and treatment response — not to provide diagnoses. If you or someone close to you is experiencing symptoms that concern you, please seek professional support.

What Do These Assessments Measure?

The tests on this page cover positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, schizotypal personality traits, depression in schizophrenia, general psychiatric symptom severity, personal and social functioning, and caregiver burden. Each instrument is grounded in peer-reviewed research and takes between 1 and 10 minutes to complete.
