Can you have schizophrenia if?..?!


Question: Can you have schizophrenia if?..?
I have delusions all the time like somebodies after me and lots of crazy thoughts. I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia and Bipolar disorder awhile ago but I was wondering if you could schizophrenia with just delusions and no hallucinations.

Answers:

Yes.
Bipolar + schizophrenia = schizoaffective
Bipolar can also have delusions by itself.
By the DSM IV, you can be diagnosed with schizophrenia if you have bizarre delusions.
So yes. (People being after you is not considered a bizarre delusion)



There are different types of schitzophrenia. Some have different symptoms.
Most people with schitzophrenia (90% is the figure i've heard) attempt suicide atleast once in their lifetime. Most schitzophrenics hear voices and become confused between their own thoughts and 'the voice'.



sounds much more like paranoia disorder which is very common and way less sever than bi-polar and schizo. It has been proven that bi-polar and schizophrenia are the two most uncommon forms of mental disorders and 90% of all diagnoses are false.



Delusions and Hallucinations are basically the same thing. If you have been diagnosed with Scizophrenia then you have it even if you have just delusions.
