Schizophrenia and Psychosis - What's the Difference?
It is valuable to understand the difference between psychosis and schizophreia. Psychosis is a general term used to describe psychotic symptoms. Schizophrenia is a kind of psychosis. Several different brain disorders can lead to psychotic symptoms, including lesions in the brain resulting from head traumas, strokes, tumors, infections or the use of illegal drugs. If a serious depression goes untreated for a long time psychotic symptoms may develop. These examples demonstrate that not all psychosis is schizophrenia. If is for this reason that doctors may take quite some time (6 months or more) to diagnose someone, because while the symptoms of schizophrenia are quite obvious - the fact that the symptoms are not being caused by some other brain disorder is frequently not obvious.

catatonic means you're in a coma like state (only you're awake) and paranoid is when "everyone is out to get you"
I didn't know you could get it so early. Sad. paranoid version is when you think everyone is against you, out to get you etc...you blame others and accuse them. (usually it is all in your head)

Catatonic is when you just sit there, motionless in a sort of animated state. Not speaking, barely moving.
Long ago, it was suggested that patients with schizophrenia have split ... Even he could say that. but there is a difference between being stupid and being ...
Catatonic sits with no emotions or response to stimuli with waxy placisity. The paranoid feels persecuted by people or groups, but seldom acts on it.
