Negative symptoms are collective in the public, but not always evident in a diagnosed disorder. The last population report was the longitudinal study by Dominguez and colleagues. This study found that 15.7% of adolescents reported regular incidence of negative symptoms alone, and 5.5% reported negative and positive symptoms. The author believed they needed further information on the frequency of such symptoms in the general population. The study had 4,914 subjects who were all psychiatric patients in a mental hospital or psychiatric unit. In this Multi-method study during phase one there were 172 psychiatric hospitalization, 73 being hospitalized once in their diagnosis of schizophrenia, 14 for other psychotic disorders, and 85 for non-psychotic disorders, either before or after the studies screenings. The author’s main findings were seen that negative symptoms were more prevalent among people with schizophrenia than with any other psychotic disorder. The higher the negative symptoms score considerably increased risk of hospitalization for schizophrenia patients. Overall findings on this study shown that negative symptoms alone did not lead to schizophrenia in somebody, but the combined psychotic experiences and negative symptoms together showed a risk for it later in life. A limitation on the study was that nine of the fourteen negative symptoms reported was on a self-based diagnoses rather than clinical observations.
