Is it possible to be diagnosed with schizophrenia and yet not have hallucination!
Question:
Is it possible to be diagnosed with schizophrenia and yet not have hallucinations or hear voices?
I know someone who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Without meds, he thinks people are plotting against him and he even committed suicide once. Yet he says he does not hear voices nor hallucinate?
Answers:
auditory and visual hallucinations are not the only symptoms of schizophrenia...delusional paranoia is a much better indicator, and if one is paranoid, they tend to not admit anything to anyone, so he could well be having hallucinations and simply will not admit them to anyone.
