Psychiatrist,  Dr. Gayathri's  Response
in my opinion symptoms can be delusions ( strong belief in spite of evidence being contrary)

hallucination

for eg

auditory in which the person hears voices when there is nothing as a source for these voices

some people can have symptoms where they are not interested to do any activity
don't take care of themselves


not able to plan, organise stuff
