patients can see something in front of them like it is really happened and exist which actually only appear in their mind. That is why schizophrenic
patients cannot differentiate reality and hallucinations.
iii. Olfactory Hallucinations
These hallucinations are closed to human sense. “Hallucination involving the sense of smell” Coleman, 1976: 296. Usually people who get this
hallucinations will smell bizarre things every time they are under a depressing condition or a dangerous situation.
iv. Gustatory Hallucinations
These hallucinations still connects to the sense, that is, the sense of taste Coleman, 1976: 296. Here, people who suffer from schizophrenia will
think that someone is trying to kill them. They become worry toward food and drink that they consume and usually believe that their food and drink
are poisoned.
v. Tactual Hallucinations
Still related to the human’s sense, usually people who get this hallucination believe and feel that something touches them. They imagine
that what touches them is real.
c. Disorganized Speech Derailment
People who have this symptom have difficulty to relate a question and the answer. Most of all, there is no connection between question and answer. “A

d. Grossly Disorganized Behavior and Catatonic Behavior
In grossly disorganized behavior, usually people who have this symptom will do an inappropriate behavior. “It seen in childlike silliness or highly agitated

place and situation. Grossly disorganized behavior is different from catatonic behavior. In
catatonic behavior, people who have this symptom will look like they have problem with their motor abnormalities. Person who have this symptom usually
like peculiar postures, usually soldier. “Catatonic behavior refers to marked motor abnormalities, including motor immobility, excessive motor behaviors and the
maintenance of fixed postures over long periods of time” Wilson, 1996: 420. This quotation shows that this symptom will make schizophrenic patients look
helpless because it looks like they need other people to help them. In short, this symptom makes them passive that can be seen from their lack of energy.
e. Negative symptoms
There are three negative symptoms according to G. Terence Wilson. First is flat or blunt affect which shows that a person who has this symptom will show
flat expression in their emotion, second is little speech alogia which shows that a person who has this symptom will talk very little and the last symptom is lack of
