1. At least one of the following must be present: Thought echo, thought insertion or withdrawal, or thought broadcasting. Delusions of control, influence, or passivity, clearly referred to body or limb movements or specific thoughts, actions, or sensations; delusional perception.
Moderate quality evidence finds rates of recovery and remission increase over time, with combined rates around 13% by 5 years after a first diagnosis, to around 68% by 32 years after a first diagnosis.
Research suggests that remission can be achieved in 20–60% of people with schizophrenia.
Soon afterward, Kraepelin (1913) estimated that up to 15 percent of schizophrenics achieved complete remission. The last 50 years have produced a rich literature on schizophrenics who remit.

Scientists have long known that schizophrenia runs in families. The illness occurs in 1 percent of the general population, but it occurs in 10 percent of people who have a first-degree relative with the disorder, such as a parent, brother, or sister.
Every coder knows that we can only code what is documented. Mental health providers typically do a great job at documenting the elements needed to code to the highest level of specificity, but often our primary care and specialty physicians will list a mental health diagnosis in the patient’s assessment and fail to document the specificity needed to code properly, leaving the coder with no choice but to select an unspecified code.
People with the disorder may hear voices other people don't hear. They may believe that other people are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting to harm them. This can terrify people with the illness and make them withdrawn or extremely agitated.
People with schizophrenia may not make sense when they talk. They may sit for hours without moving or talking. Sometimes people with schizophrenia seem perfectly fine until they talk about what they are really thinking. Experts think schizophrenia is caused by several factors.
