Screening Tool: Psychosis (including schizophrenia)

This survey is designed to provide a quick assessment of whether you show signs and symptoms of psychosis. However, no test is 100% accurate. No matter what your score is, you should seek help if you have any concerns about yourself or your loved ones.

 

This questionnaire was developed by the PRIME group at Yale University Medical School.

2. I hear or see things that others do not hear or see.
3. I feel it is very difficult for me to express myself in words that others can understand.
4. I feel I share absolutely nothing in common with others, including my friends and family.
5. I believe in more than one thing about reality and the world around me that nobody else seems to believe in.
6. Others don't believe me when I tell them the things I see or hear.
7. I can't trust what I'm thinking because I don't know if it's real or not.
