Negativism (psychiatry)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In psychiatry, negativism is a symptom of catatonic schizophrenia as well as passive-aggressive personality disorder , which consists of pathological distrust and paranoia and manifests itself in an attitude of refusal. The patient resists any prompts or attempts to be moved - or moves in the opposite direction instead.
