Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3, 5
Explanation: Symptoms of formal thought disorder include loose associations, tangentiality, incoherence (word salad, neologism), illogicality, circumstantiality, pressured/distractible speech, and poverty of speech. Echolalia is a motor symptom of SSD; asterognosis is a neurologic symptom of SSD; and cognitive constancy is a milestone of adjustment post-psychosis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: The patient's statement is an example of the positive symptom of schizophrenia called delusion, which is a mistaken or false fixed belief about the self or the environment. The patient's statement is not an example of ambivalence, which is defined as concurrent conflicting emotions, thoughts, or actions toward a person, object, or concept. It is also not an example of the tendency to use few words when speaking, called alogia, or of a lack of motivation, called avolition.
