Suggest Treatment For Mental Illness

Hello, I m 16 years old and I moved out of a very bad environment, a lot of abuse, neglect, things as to that and I ve been away for almost a year now but I m not getting better (mentally) I don t sleep much or at all, I get very paranoid, I see strange lights, I have nightmares, I hear noises that may or may not be there, I have a hard time focusing, when I fall asleep that I m back at that house I wake up screaming or crying I hear voices of my siblings crying asking my why I left home. Am I crazy? Will it go away? Will I be okay? What s wrong with me?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
hi dear,
what ever you describe suggestive of you might have paranoid schizophrenia and for that you must consult a psychiatrist for detail history and treatment.
If possible go with one of your close relative who knows about you well.
schizophrenia is psychotic illness and you should consult as early as possible for better prognosis.
also medication and electro convulsive therapy works best.
Thank you
