Default What to do about a possibility of early schizophrenia? - 05-30-2010, 10:22 PM

I don't want to go into huge detail, but, although I do not experience hallucinations or full delusions, I have been feeling a bit worried by the amount my imagination is starting to affect my real world and I looked up several things on line which all said I might have early onset schizophrenia. I guess I should talk to a mental health professional about this, but.... I can be a bit of a hypochondriac and so I doubt my parents would take me very seriously. However, this time it's not hypochondria. I'm distracted in school, I space out when people are talking to me, because the people in my imagination are always demanding my attention. I have occasionally begun to forget they aren't real and other people can't see them, although I do most of the time fully know that they are not real, and I never actually see them in front of me. What should I do?

What you do is show this question, just as you wrote it, to your parents. If they are loving parents they will guide you in the right direction.

Don't you mean small detail? I think the best course of action is to see a psychiatrist, as they can accurately assess your mental condition and tell you where to go from there.

Having your imagination run away with you is a very common and healthy trait in young people. In fact most of the world's greatest writers and artists were seen as mad and out of touch with the world! I would even go so far as saying it is an advantage to be introverted and connected to your dreams - there are not a lot of people like that in this world.

To be diagnosed with schizophrenia you must be suffering hallucinations and delusions - it is an extremely rare disorder and I very much doubt you have it. The fact that you are posting this shows that you can distinguish between what's real and not real. Schizophrenics would be unable to do this.
