Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Diagnosis of schizophrenia involves ruling out other mental health disorders and determining that symptoms are not due to substance abuse, medication or a medical condition. Psychiatrists usually attempt self help questionnaires, DSM methods and some time even MRI of the brain. Talk to a psychiatrist.
