Hey guys so I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia in the country of Mexico. I think what made them think I had it was telling them I had episodes where I would talk to people from the TV/Books etc. It's been a long time since I've had an episode despite not taking meds or barely taking them. The reason I don't like meds is because they kill my drive and make me sleep too much and also the dreaded weight gain. But anyways the reason I question my diagnosis is because I don't have voices/hallucinations 24/7 at all which I've seen many other people claim to have. I've actually only had a visual hallucination that seemed as real as real only about 3 times which was 3-4 years ago. I don't have constant voices or audio hallucinations trough out the day either. I've had audio hallucinations when drifting off to sleep/waking up but that is it. I have had many delusions trough out the years and delusions of grandeur and thats my main symptom but thats pretty much it. What should I do? If I do indeed have schizo then it's definitely not as bad as what they say about it on Youtube? Could I have a much lessened version of it? Is it a spectrum?
