A mental health team is assessing Rory. A full history has found no brain tumour, drug use or side effects of medication that could explain his experiences.
| What Rory reports or shows | Duration |
|---|---|
| Hears a voice commenting on his actions when nobody is speaking | 3 weeks |
| Gives only a few words when asked open questions | 6 weeks |
| Has very little motivation to start everyday tasks | 6 weeks |
The team will review Rory again in three weeks. Assume that all three experiences continue until then.
Using ICD-11, explain whether the team could diagnose schizophrenia at the first assessment and predict whether it could make the diagnosis at the review.
