Are there different levels or types of schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia is an illness describes a mental disorder.

Under the name of Schizophrenia, there are some sub catogories or subtypes:

Subtypes:
Historically, schizophrenia in the West was classified into simple, catatonic, hebephrenic, and paranoid. The DSM now contains five sub-classifications of schizophrenia, the ICD-10 identifies 7:

(295.2/F20.2) catatonic type (where marked absences or peculiarities of movement are present),
(295.1/F20.1) disorganized type (where thought disorder and flat affect are present together),
(295.3/F20.0) paranoid type (where delusions and hallucinations are present but thought disorder, disorganized behavior, and affective flattening is absent),
(295.6/F20.5) residual type (where positive symptoms are present at a low intensity only) and
(295.9/F20.3) undifferentiated type (psychotic symptoms are present but the criteria for paranoid, disorganized, or catatonic types has not been met).
NB: Brackets indicate codes for DSM and ICD-10 diagnostic manuals, respectively. Some older classifications still use "Hebephrenic schizophrenia" instead of "Disorganized schizophrenia".
