The patient in this vignette presents with schizophrenia, which is associated with a better outcome if there is a history of a precipitating event. Schizophrenia can be a very disabling disease, often resulting in joblessness, homelessness, or suicide. Good outcomes are associated with a late and quick onset, and no family history of schizophrenia. Incorrect Answers: Answer 1: A rapid, not insidious, onset indicates a good prognosis. Answer 2: No prior psychiatric history indicates a good prognosis. Answer 3: Predominance of positive, not negative, symptoms indicate a good prognosis. Answer 5: No family history of mental illness indicates a good prognosis.
