Hi, I'm 16M and was diagnosed with depressive schizo affective syndrome at the age of 15. I'm happy I found this subreddit since i am the 3rd person in my country to be diagnos before the age of 18 I have nobody to talk to and I don't know anyone with schizophrenia. I was born with schizophrenia and really never understood something was wrong! Nowadays I am in art therapy and I have found alternatives to medicine such as working out and meditating. I can't go full days in school quite yet but am working towards it.

TW: Hallucinations

If anybody cares I have named my most frequent hallucinations Phobos and Deimons😊 I understand they are not real but since I always thought they were just imaginary friends that stuck for a while I have named all my hallucinations after greek mythology
