What Are The Symptoms Of Schizophrenia?
My family and I are concerned I am developing schizophrenia. I have apparently had bizzare behavior lately and I personally have experienced both visual and auditory hallucinations for about a year now. I see ghosts, shadows, snake looking lines and blobs. I hear voices say die hey laugh at me scream and moan. Do I have schizophrenia? P.S. I am a female. I will be 16 in one month

Hello
Schizophrenia usually involves bizarre thinking with a lack of continuity of thoughts, unusually affect (like laughing at something sad or crying for no reason), problems with relationships, but it doesn't involve visual or auditory hallucinations which are signs of psychosis.
You need to see a psychiatrist for a full evaluation and appropriate medications
