> The terms 'positive' and 'negative' are used to describe the two different types of symptom clusters in schizophrenia. The words are not to be taken literally. Negative symptoms involve such things as social withdrawal and anhedonia, similar in many ways to depression or dysthymia. Postive symptoms include psychosis or hallucinations. It doesn't mean they are positive in any way, that is just the term they use to cluster those symptoms together.

Just plain kazoo.
What happened to the Kazoo I knew? He made me smile by just feeling his prescence. His words made my heart sing. And whenever he called me dear the glow lasted long after he left.
This new kazoo leaves an ache I can't describe.
