Just one last thing: can the positive and negative symptoms occur at the same time? It's all very confusing this; I've just read about Crow's Two Syndrome Hypothesis (Type I Schizophrenia characterised by pos symptoms, Type II by neg) and then read elsewhere that both sets of symptoms occur in the one disease Schizophrenia. Is there any common consensus on this?! Once again, thanks for helping me out Love, Sally %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
