Am I schizophrenic

[Lazenca_x]

Hi, last year was probably the worst year of my life. Agfter a failed relationship I became depressed and had to go for psychiatric help. When I gor therre my psychiatrist told me that I had depression as well as a primary psychotic disorder. My symptoms include the fact that I thought that my life as part of a tv show. I felt like I was being watched by everyone and that every person I met had devices in their eyes which allowed other people to see what I was doing. I thought that there were cameras in my room and that people could hear what I was thinking.:eek:. I do not hear voices though. My psychiatrist prescribed risperdal for my and my symptoms have gone away. Could I have schizophrenia?

We cannot diagnose you, only your doctor can. I suspect if you did have schizophrenia he would have told you and/or your folks. Talk with them about it.

Regardless of what you have or what might have caused the problems, or what it's called, the important thing is that there's effective treatment for it (the Risperdal), and you should continue to take it unless told otherwise by your doctor.
