Answer:

Positive symptoms

Step-by-step explanation:

In medical terms when an individual shows signs of whatever they are diagnosed with, it is referred to as positive symptoms. In the case of schizophrenia, individuals are affected mentally in the sense that they suffer from delusions and hallucinations among other things. In this case, Dre feels that he is being told to hurt himself in order to save himself from the spies is a delusion that his mental state has created.

Dre is demonstrating the positive symptoms of schizophrenia. The positive symptoms of schizophrenia are those "new" traits that arise from the individual due to the disorder, that is, the person did not experience them before presenting the disorder and they do not occur in healthy people. These symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thoughts and emotional turmoil.

I hope my answer can help you.
