Q: Paranoid-Schizophrenia !

I started getting what my CAMHS psychiatrist said was psychotic symptoms at the age of 16 and went into a psychiatric hospital for 4 months when I was 17 because of serious self injury, people telling me to cut myself and things like that. I now see an adult psychiatrist and he said it's paranoid schizophrenia because I thought a man was following me and some other reasons but I can't remember. So Dr changed the medication from Amisulpride to Abilify. The man that was following me hasn't been following me since a couple of months now. Which is both strange and good at the same time.
The thing is that a friend is telling me I should tell my psychiatrist about the spirits that are in my body. Funnily enough I have an appointment with him tomorrow at 1:30. He said before that there is room to raise the meds as I am on 15mg. But do you think I should mention to him, I mean, is it anything to worry about??
My psychiatrist said that I also suffer from depersonalization. It's an unpleasant feeling.
Thank you for reading, I am glad to have found the forum,
