Is this Schizophrenia or not because I'm confused?!


Question: Is this Schizophrenia or not because I'm confused?
So I've been told that I am schizophrenic... I hallucinated and hear voices and have a lot of the symptoms. I'm Confused though because couldn't it be split personality disorder cuz when I hallucinated and hear things they r always different things like demons and angel.... but then theres one that stays the same, its a girl, and she's rude and has an additude and she always tells me to do the wrong thing but no one else can see her but I see her and have conversations with her but unfortuately sometimes she takes control of me and I feel like I'm just watching my body and I have no control...

I'm confused because if I'm schizo shouldn't they be briefe hallucinations and shouldnt I not be able to have a convo with one of them???????


anyone have info to help please...

With MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder), each distinct personality is typically not aware of the others so I would say no on that. Schizophrenia consists of delusions, paranoia, and/or hallucinations which impair a person to a level that they cannot function normally. Officially, it cannot be diagnosed if substance abuse co-exists, or if it can be explained by another physical ailment.

My personal opinion is that many mental disorders are actually related to anaphylactic food allergy reactions which cause a person to become delusional due to a dramatic drop in blood pressure. Although some correlations have been made between allergens and mental states, I feel the medical community has dropped the ball on this. Anaphylaxis, to a person who isn't familiar with it, can result in panic, paranoia, hallucinations, and any number of other mental and physical symptoms. The only way to rule this out as a cause is to go on a very plain diet while avoiding all common allergens for a couple months.

You may be able to find diets on the web which detail how to do this. I should mention that severe dehydration can also accompany these type of mental symptoms. If a person's urine has much color to it (other than when first waking up in the morning), then they are dehydrated. The brain is mostly water so dehydration can cause many deficiencies in the mental process.

Many years experience with food allergies and psychology; eventually have become convinced that they are highly related. I also believe that taking a pill is not the cure for everything (although sometimes they are very useful).



thats Schizophrenia. if you hear voices and they are not your voice, you are most likely schizophrenic

Schizophrenia is a group of severe brain disorders in which people interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions and disordered thinking and behavior. The ability of people with schizophrenia to function normally and to care for themselves tends to deteriorate over time.

Well, you are aware that they are hallucinations. Schizophrenia is also about not being able to tell fake from real. You don't even have to have hallucinations to be schizophrenic. You could also be paranoid or have delusions. So maybe it's not schizophrenia.



that sounds like schizophrenia and I would get the right medication to protect you from occurrences that can make you do things you don't wish to do onto others. Because you yourself don't want that.



No, schizophrenia is hearing voices.

Split personality disorder is when you have more than one personality.
