Question:
Do I have Schizophrenia? Please help me!?
Hi everyone. I'm a 15 year old girl, ad I know when you first read this you are going to think that it because i'm growing and my hormones are all over the place, but I don't think it is that. I hear voices in my head. Some of them are nice, but some of them are evil people. I've had this one voice ever since I was younger, she has a name and a life. I love her to peices... but that's not the only problem. I am paranoid all the time, I think i'm being followed and that people are out to get me, like they're going to kill me or something! I see things as well, like people and stuff like that. I also get mood swings, where suddenly I get really angry and I start to hit and hurt people, but it's the voices that are with me when it happens. The evil voices. :S Also, I think I hold the key to some big secret. No one else knows it and I know it and I have to find other people who know the secret. I hold the key and if I die then the story will not be told. It's so confusing...please help me!
Answers:
It could be schizophrenia. You need to go to a psychiatrist, NOW. There is medicine and treatment that is effective for this. It may take a while to find the right one(s) for you. Have you told your parents about this? It's very important you are completely honest with your therapist. GL
