NEET PGEasyExplanation
DSM-5 requires at least 6 months of continuous disturbance, including at least 1 month of active-phase symptoms, for schizophrenia. Schizophreniform disorder describes the same picture lasting 1 to 6 months.

NEET PGHardExplanation
Schneider's first-rank symptoms include thought insertion, withdrawal, and broadcasting, delusional perception, passivity phenomena such as made acts and feelings, and third-person auditory hallucinations. They are suggestive of, though not exclusive to, schizophrenia.
Q4 · Types of Delusion
MediumExplanation
A delusion of infidelity, or Othello syndrome, is a fixed false belief that a partner is unfaithful. Other types include grandiose, persecutory, nihilistic, and delusions of reference, where neutral events are believed to refer specifically to oneself.
Q5 · Brief Psychotic Disorder
MediumExplanation
Brief psychotic disorder features sudden-onset psychotic symptoms lasting from a day to under a month, with full return to premorbid functioning. It is often triggered by a marked stressor.
Q6 · Delusional Disorder
HardExplanation
Delusional disorder involves one or more non-bizarre delusions for at least a month, without the other features of schizophrenia and with relatively preserved functioning apart from the delusion's impact.
Q7 · Prognosis in Schizophrenia
MediumExplanation
Good prognostic features in schizophrenia include acute onset, a precipitating stressor, later onset, prominent mood symptoms, good premorbid functioning, and a family history of mood disorder. Insidious onset and prominent negative symptoms suggest a poorer outcome.
Psychotic Disorders sits within Psychiatry, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 7 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 2 of them at Hard, and 2 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Psychotic Disorders marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Psychiatry examiners keep returning to.
