I’m not diagnosed
Im starting to think I might be in the prodromal phase of schizophrenia.
Ive had more than half of the symptoms for the last couple of months.
Im hallucinating images of people I’ve never seen before and hearing voices occasionally.
Can anyone tell if it’s schizophrenia or not?
@cyanTurtle8500 Hey there, I hope you are doing well. From what your saying I would recommend that you seek a doctor or psychiatrist to diagnose you. I say try not to self diagnose yourself and psych yourself, if your unsure about a health complication then please seek a doctor. Self diagnosing that you have something can become harmful if you really not sure if you have that or not. I hope that you have a great day and that everything will go well.
Hi Cyan turtle, I have a mild case of schizophrenia where I don’t have hallucinations, but had delusions. I bought a book recommended by my therapist called Malady of the Mind. It’s informative. It says each time you have an episode things get worse, so it’s helpful to treat before things get worse. I was in denial for a long time, but seeking treatment and accepting help is a really big step that can make a huge positive difference in your life and long term outcomes. I highly recommend seeking treatment. I was hospitalized for a month while they figured out my medicine. It helped me, though I did not like the life disruption, it was for the best. I hope you can get some good treatment.
It is caused by demons and is very real. Command them to go in the name of jesus only if your a Christian you can do that. Everything is spiritual. I don't know if you know that even Schizophrenia is spiritual and caused by the demonic deliverance would be helpful.
I want to express my condolences again. I do not think that I have ever been possessed by demons, but I have diagnosed schizophrenia. I have a strong belief in God. I did try commanding demons to go away at some point, but ultimately it is medicine that is helping me. Please turn to medicine and doctors for help. Of course having a healthy spiritual life will also reduce your stress and make you a more rounded person. In the thirteen hundreds they accused people with mental illness that could not be cured of being witches and burned them at the stake. We are well beyond that. Sounds like you are researching and leaning on science. I believe that is the way to go. Hugs.
