Info about Schizophrenia

0

I’m working on a project, and while I can find tons of info on Schizophrenia, I can’t seem to find what an actual schizophrenic’s file looks like. Like, what the doctor uses. So, would it include other personalities/identities? What kinds of notes would a doctor write? It’s for a movie, so I’m trying to make the file look as realistic as possible.

Try googling psychiatric progress notes or SOAP notes. SOAP notes are commonly used with doctors. Stands for Subjective (what the patient says) Objective (what the physician can see) Assessment (the exam) and Plan (what to do). I did a google search for you and saw sample physicians notes. I hope this helps.

Just an addendum: schizophrenia is not interchangeable with Dissociative Identity Disorder (the true name of Multiple Personality Disorder).
