Are Having Illogical Thoughts And Strange Behavior Suggestive Of Schizophrenia?
Hi. I want to know what type of schizophrenia actually i have. I don't hear voices in my head, do not see things that other can't see and i don't think in anyone that conspire against me or even worse want to damage me. What i strongly believe i have is that my thoughts are very difference to almost all people, however all of them don't considered ilogical or fantasy, also im almost (if not always) aware im doing or saying something that could be seeing rare or strange for others. By the way english is not first language and i'm 21yo Thank you so much for your time to answer me!
First of all I'd like to tell you that diagnosis of Schizophrenia can't be made at home by self evaluation of symptoms. Schizophrenia is a neuropsychiatric syndrome characterised by abnormalities in thought, perception, behaviour, affect and other domains of day to day functioning.
Most of individuals with schizophrenia have symptoms like hearing voices especially running commentaries and third person voices also called as hallucinations. Suspiciousness, feelings that thoughts are being broadcasted are other common symptoms.
The feelings that your thoughts are different than others and these too are not illogical can't put you in diagnosis of schizophrenia. Absence of insight is one of important things to make diagnosis of schizophrenia. So mere presence of illogical thoughts, strange behaviour don't help to make diagnosis of schizophrenia. Visit a psychiatrist for help.
Thanks, Take care
