The correct answer is:
flat/blunted affect
Positive symptoms of schizophrenia are behaviors or experiences that are added to a person's personality and are not present in the general population. Flat or blunted affect, which refers to a reduction in the expression of emotions through facial expressions, gestures, and speech intonation, is considered a negative symptom of schizophrenia, not a positive one.
Positive symptoms of schizophrenia include delusions (fixed false beliefs), hallucinations (perceiving things that are not there), and disorganized speech (incoherent or nonsensical speech patterns). These symptoms reflect an excess or distortion of normal functions.
