A study of first rank symptoms of schneider in functional psychoses
Abstract
The prevalence of FRSs of Schneider was studied in three groups of functional psychoses. They were most common in schizophrenia (53.3 %) followed by affective psychosis (33.3 %) and reactive psychosis (23.3 %). Thought broadcast, thought insertion and thought withdrawal were commonest in schizophrenia. There was a suggestion that made volitional acts and commenting voices were more commonly present in patients with a diagnosis of depression. There was no distinctive FRS profile in reactive psychosis. A strong correlation also emerged between FRS and a family history of schizophrenia.
