ManWithAPlan, I'd rather have him worry needlessly than not even think about it. Given the situation it is a possibility.
And the nature of undifferentiated is that it incorporates symptoms of two or more types of schizophrenia, therefore it's possible for a person to both show symptoms of disorganized schizophrenia and suffer hallucinations as in paranoid.
Undifferentiated is a catch-all. The idea is, you're either paranoid, disorganized or catatonic. If you're symptoms don't sufficiently isolate one type due to not being pronounced enough or (as in the hypothetical case I've presented) showing signs of more than one sub-type, they just call it undifferentiated. Is that a bit clearer?
And yeah, no offense meant, I'm just trying to clarify exactly what goes on. Disorganized is really easy to spot, as is catatonic (I once knew a guy who suffered from catatonic with echolalia; the one time I saw an attack he simply froze up and would not move, but repeated everything said to him. It was an odd experience, to say the least). Paranoid is much harder to notice, although if she is schizophrenic that's the most likely subtype. It doesn't rule out the others, though.
