F20.5: Residual schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a mental illness. Your thinking, perception and mood may have changed as a result. There are different reasons for this illness.

Even if the illness improves, symptoms may remain for quite some time. For example, you may feel lethargic and unable to enjoy things. You may only move very slowly, and become quite quiet.
