Hello Lisa1983, I am not a doctor, but if I were you I would contact a psychiatrist for further investigation. The book The Complete Family Guide to Schizophrenia is a very helpful text that I frequently refer back to for information. Schizophrenia and mood disorders, such as bipolar disorder and depression, are commonly mistaken. You can find a psychiatrist through your local chapter of Nation Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), the yellow pages, or your family doctor. A diagnosis of schizophrenia depends on a number of factors including the age of the onset, how long you have been experiencing symptoms, and your level of functioning. Some symptoms include but are not limited to the following: Hallucinations, Delusions- paranoid, grandoise, reference, control, Decreased facial and vocal expressiveness, Alogia, Lack of motivation or energy, Anhedonia, Difficulty learning and concentrating, Anxiety, Depression, Catatonia, I hope my advice was helpful to you. Take care. -Valash
