Currently the negative symptoms are those I see in my loved one. He seems motivated and his cognition seems good, but not much for him to do. Still looking for a job, so he is bored. The monotone voice, rarely smiling and very little animation is what I notice most. Makes me sad....and not cleaning up often.
Ive been working with him on better self talk. I even roll play with him....try to help him with a different way to think about his thoughts and response to thoughts. Im only his mom....lol
Please do a video on concrete, rigid thinking, and psychotic disorders.

Thank you for the thoughtful comments. You might check the NAMI talk I posted about getting loved ones going. Be well!
