What Are The Symptoms Of Schizophrenia?

how do i know if i had skitzophrenia? i dont want to go to a real doctor so that he can blame things on "stress" or "horemones" or whatever, just to eat up my parents money. but for the past couple of nights its been an angoing process of hallucinations and paranoia that follows me througout the day. like today i was so paranoid at everything that i wanted to eat lunch by myself. last night i felt my skin crawl and it felt like something was eating me and tickling me at the same time, pain/joy? very much so, its very wierd and my doctor thought i had pheochromacatoma which is a tumor in your adrenal gland, and my other doctor thinks i might have addisons disease, but my symptoms are spinning, shaking, dizzy, palpatations, sweating, im ALWAYS tired no mattter how much sleep i get. . .
please help

Hi.

Symptoms of schizophrenia are delusion , hallucinations, disorganised behavior and speech etc.

Symptoms must be presented since 6 month.

But you have symptoms are in transient phase like prodromal symptoms and only basis of that we can not say it is schizophrenia.

In pheochromocytoma and Addison's disease may have neurological involvement and produce psychiatric menifestations.

So you have require detail endocrine work up to ruled out it.

For schizophrenia you have to consult psychiatrist for better evaluation and proper diagnosis.

So consult and get help.

Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.

Happy to help you further.

Thank you.
