I was diagnosed with schizophrenia a few years ago which as an older adult with a life already behind me came as something of a surprise. I know that both diagnosees and close friends and relatives often struggle to accept the label unless you've been floridly and visibly psychotic which is not my case.

Doctors, peers and friends all concur that my case is atypical and some have suggested that I might 'just' be schizotypal instead. These are my symptoms. Any insights will be much appreciated.

Symptoms: 1.Occasional visual hallucinations. Recently a well known religious figure appeared briefly in my living room. A couple of times also  a bizarre alien sounding my bedroom with its tentacles. But mostly just small animals and silhouettes. 
2. Apathy, and moderate self neglect. Limited stamina and concentration. 
3. Odd beliefs regarded by my doctors as delusional, but none of them held with absolute conviction.
4. Severe self disturbance disorder, plus depersonalisation and derealisation.
5. No voices, paranoia or disorganised speech.

Any thoughts? Thanks
