- Many are in a reverie that far from reality, it is very difficult for people to understand the mind. And prefer to avoid interaction with the crowd and aloof.
- Have prejudices improper and unwarranted, for example; when seeing people who write or talk about something, it was thought that writing or speech that is intended to denounce.
- Frequent incorrect responses or cessation of the mind, such as people talking suddenly forget what it said. Sometimes the conversation moved from one problem to another problem that is not related at all.
- Hallucinations hearing, smell or sight, where the patient as if to hear, smell or see something that does not exist. He seemed to hear others (neighbors) to talk about it, or see something scary.
- Many desperate and felt that he was a victim of crime or public crowd. Feel that everyone is guilty and led to his suffering.
