Does this Sound like Schizophrenia to you?!


Question: Does this Sound like Schizophrenia to you.?
I remember when I was in early primary school I had an episode of....something I don't know, whenever my eyes drooped a mass of voices well past single digits built up and my eyes grew wide and every passing moment was agony.
Almost every night I had nightmares of my father out to kill me and I'd stay clear of him (I still do now) and I'd see large spiderwebs above my bed with huge spiders near my face.
It's been a long time since I've had these physical delusions but I've been diagnosed with depression for emotional withdrawal and anxiety but I'm a little worried.
What do you think it could've been.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Although you have had auditory/visual hallucinations, I believe schizophrenia is an unlikely diagnosis. For one thing, schizophrenic symptoms normally develop in young adulthood like early twenties for men and around thirty for women. Your episode in early primary school strikes me as an unusually young age for the onset of schizophrenia. Furthermore, it seems like you only had a single episode of an auditory hallucination, and I am not quite clear if you saw the spiderwebs in your nightmares or while you were awake. In any case, in schizophrenia such hallucinations are persistent for at least two months during what is called an active phase, where there are other prominent symptoms such as delusions or false, ungrounded beliefs, disorganized speech or behavior, or flattening of affect and other negative symptoms. Schizophrenia is a very serious, permanent illness.

I do not know why you have been diagnosed with depression but I do know that delusions or hallucinations can occur with depression. Health Question & Answer
