Schizophrenia Symptoms and Signs

Apathy is another common symptom. Unlike ordinary tiredness or temporary sadness, apathy in schizophrenia can last for weeks or months without change. People may lose all interest in hobbies, work, or even in basic self-care. They might stop spending time with friends, avoid any social contact, and feel that life has no value or meaning. Disorganized behavior and the constant lack of motivation only deepen this problem, creating a cycle of withdrawal and emotional emptiness that is very difficult to break without support.
