Currently the negative symptoms are those I see in my loved one. He seems motivated and his cognition seems good, but not much for him to do. Still looking for a job, so he is bored. The monotone voice, rarely smiling and very little animation is what I notice most. Makes me sad....and not cleaning up often.
