Pseudoneurotic schizophrenia

Pseudoneurotic schizophrenia is defined by Stedman's Medical Dictionary as "schizophrenia in which the underlying psychotic process is masked by complaints ordinarily regarded as neurotic." A person is diagnosed with borderline schizophrenia when they exhibit one or another of non-psychotic symptoms such as anxiety, hysterical, phobic or obsessive-compulsive neuroses. A patient is designated with pseudoneurotic schizophrenia if they display a combination of two or more neurotic symptoms, and/or psychosomatic and psychopathic symptoms.
