I think I might be schizophrenic, but I'm afraid if I bring my concerns to a doctor, they'll tell me there's nothing wrong even if there is, because I already think I have it. What do I do?

Okay, so you believe you may be schizophrenic. But you’re fear is that IF you express your concerns to a doctor they may say there is nothing wrong with you at all....even if there IS...just because you are already believing you have it, is that right? So you aren’t sure what to do? Go or not go?

If you feel that there is something wrong then by that very definition there is something wrong that can and should be treated by a doctor. Your mental health is all about the way that you feel.

My mother suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and for a long time I had a fear of having it too. It's perfectly normal to fear things. If you have a big concern I would still reach out to a professional to evaluate you. If they turn you away get a second opinion or try therapy. I know therapy helped me a lot when I was terrified of having a mental illness.

Explain the way you are feeling about this to someone you trust, and ask them to help you think of a way to explain it to your doctor. If you're honest with your doctor that you think there might be something wrong, they should be willing to look into it.

Make an appointment with a doctor. If your still in school go talk to a guidance counselor. One thing I learned from personal experience from watching my friend suffer from this disorder is that people are there to help and I guarantee you that you will be heard. They will take you serious. Never be afraid to get help.

I recommend that you log your possible symptoms for about a week. write down when you felt it, how long it lasted and the severity of it. If they continue to persist, see a doctor right away because schizophrenia untreated can become progressively worse.

Find a doctor you can trust and try to give them the information, which made you think you might be schizophrenic. They are experts and shouldn't diagnose different if someone realized symptoms by themself.

Sometimes doctor's don't listen, it happens sadly. If you feel certain there's something going on, and a doctor doesn't listen, find another doctor who will. There are good doctors out there.

If you feel that you are not getting what you feel that you need from a certain doctor then maybe express you concerns to a different doctor.

Try seeking more than one opinion. Write down a list of reasons why you think you have it to show your doctor. Bring a trusted friend with you who can help you communicate with your doctor.
