Schizophrenia is a lifelong brain disorder. But how do doctors define it? And is there a cure?...

Q: i think i'm schizophrenic

i'm 15 years old and i'm a very sociable person
and i hate to be alone because when i'm alone
i begin talking to myself and make up plays and acting out every
character out loud. I also talk in different accents. My family says that i'm losing my mind and i think so too.My grandmother is thinking about taking me to a therapist and i think i should go too. Not only do i make up plays i also carry on whole conversations with myself. Most of the time they aren't nice conversations, it's like a voice telling me all my flaws and what i should do but i can control it sometimes but other times i get really sad and depressed and the voice just laughs and mocks me. i feel crazy and i think this is ruining my life. i need help..

I think it's a great idea that you go and talk to professional about this. It isn't normal behaviour. Maybe you're depressed and it's bringing this on , or maybe you are getting symptoms of schitophrenia. Or maybe it's something else. in any case you should definately go and talk to someone. i would go to a doctor for starters who will then refer you to a psychiatrist.

I have that same problem, my inner voice bringing me down, always pointing out my flaws. It is racing thoughts, I get rid of it by always watching tv, distracted so I don't think, I even go to sleep with the tv on just so I don't get any time to listen to myself.

I suffer Bipolar I - which I hear is closely associated with Schizophrenia.
