Right, first off, schizophrenia is such a umbrella term yet it doesn't describe anything.
this is the definition on Google
"Definition. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by disruptions in thought processes, perceptions, emotional responsiveness, and social interactions. Although the course of schizophrenia varies among individuals, schizophrenia is typically persistent and can be both severe and disabling."
What does that say? Nothing.This could also describe anxiety but thats not schizophrenia at all...
By that description everyone is schizophrenic.
I think of schizophrenia as a involuntarile reality perception distortion.
(To be more specific,)
A mental parasite or disease that affects all aspects of a persons body and mind.
(Sounds catastrophic but damm it is)
It affects a persons body ,mind, behaviours , physical and mental health.
(I've realized I've been writing schizophrenia like skizophrenia im sorry hahaha ok back to that)
 

So I'd define schizophrenia as:
 a involuntarile reality perception distortion.
A mental parasite or disease that affects all aspects of a persons functioning.It affects a persons body ,mind, behaviours , physical and mental health. People suffering may seem to others as Detached from reality, apathetic or the opposite, frantic.


See how I didn't exclude the fact that its symptoms can seem like autism , borderline, ocd or DID.
("Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder) A mental health condition, people with dissociative identity disorder (DID) have two or more separate personalities.")
There are so many different "types" or mixtures.I experienced what I described as schizophrenia mixed with ocd and DID.
But I'd mostly describe it as self harm or a disease.Self reality destruction without the ability to stop.
That was me at least but from what I see its most people too.
