Schneider's First-Rank Symptoms (FRS) are a set of symptoms that he believed were highly indicative of schizophrenia. These include thought insertion, withdrawal, and broadcasting; delusional perception; feelings of being controlled (passivity experiences like actions, impulses, feelings, somatic); and specific types of auditory hallucinations (voices arguing/discussing, voices giving a running commentary, thoughts spoken aloud). Delusions of grandeur, while a common symptom of schizophrenia, are not included in Schneider's FRS.
