Differential diagnosis

Schizophrenia: other psychotic symptoms present (eg, hallucinations, disorganization, negative symptoms); greater functional impairment

Personality disorders: pervasive pattern of suspiciousness (paranoid), grandiosity (narcissistic), or odd beliefs (schizotypal), but no clear delusions

Personality disorders involve persistent patterns of behavior usually arising in early adulthood. They are pervasive across a broad range of situations (eg, interpersonal, vocational) but do not involve specific delusions (eg, persistent false, fixed beliefs).

symptoms last ≥1 month but <6 months [1-6]
