Okay. The only reason I mentioned it is because a person can have that flatness and no noticable (positive) symptoms of schitzophrenia. People get misdiagnosed all the time. I've thought about that diagnosis as a possibility for me because my Grandmother had it. She didn't have the flatness I just referred to, and while she developed many positive symptoms, hallucinations, voices, etc., it originally manifested in her as a catatonic depressive state.
There's a spectrum, some believe, of schitzophrenia just like there is for autism and other conditions. A person can be at the left of the spectrum, which is the possibility I considered for myself. It was in this way that I thought it was worth mentioning to you.
