Behavior is characterized by waning interest in social activities. she has slowly been becoming more remote in her interactions with the world. she just can't seem to keep up with her daily responsibilities. she can't even find the time to bathe or change her clothes regularly. at times she rambles off incoherently when talking to her friends. her behavior is typical of someone in the phase of schizophrenia.

"Prodromal Stage"

Explanation:

According to my research on the different stages of schizophrenia and different diseases we can say that the phase described in the question is the "Prodromal Stage". Every disease has a prodromal stage which is the phase in which the sufferer starts to show and suffer from the early symptoms of a disease. Some of the Prodromal Symptoms of Schizophrenia are hallucinations, delusions, disordered thoughts and loss of motivation and emotion, among other symptoms. In this case they usually last a couple of weeks but go worsening over the years.
