A person complains that her hair is gradually turning into wire and her bones are slowly falling to her feet. While explaining this, she will sometimes laugh hysterically and at other times cry. Which form of schizophrenia would be a likely diagnosis in this case

Disorganized schizophrenia

Explanation:

In disorganized schizophrenia, the predominant features are that both language and behavior are altered, they do not seem to have order or concert or respond to external stimuli in an adequate way. There may be delusions and hallucinations, but they are not usually organized around a coherent theme. In these patients the affectivity is altered, being flattened or being the inappropriate reaction. Also noteworthy is the manifestation of emotional and facial expressions inappropriate to the context (grimaces, mannerisms and other behavioral oddities).
