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

Q: Paranoid thoughts

asked by: DoctorQuestion on February 7th, 2007

Could someone tell me what is wrong with me coz I get thoughts into my head and can’t budge them they can stay in there for ages, this effects my concentration really made.

One of the thoughts I had was that my body wouldn’t heal and I actually started to believe it like all the thoughts I get I start to believe them and act on them its really scary. I also get paranoid thoughts like people are going to do things to my drink or when people walk passed me I think about what they could do like stab me.

I use to do drugs a lot and I don’t know if its because of them. But I just don’t feel normal anymore I hate life

The drugs that i have done over a year and a half was

ecstasy, whizz, lsd, coke and legal highs.

Schizophrenia Answer A2335

According to the mental symptoms you describe (paranoid thoughts that “your body won’t heal”, “people will put something in your drink”, “people would stab you when passing by ”) and a medical history of drug abuse, you could be experiencing a psychotic disorder but the correct diagnosis must be confirmed by a mental health doctor. It seems that you need medical attention provided by a psychiatrist immediately.
