I'm not sure of your age (I'm guessing a teen), but if you're around the age of 20-25 by chance, then you're almost certainly in the clear, as something such as Schizophrenia generally (in men) presents itself then

ok, im 16, going to be 17 in a couple months. one of my parents has anxiety/phobea, and is closterphobic. but other then that, i dont beilieve there is any mental illness.

what is schizophenia, and what are some simptoms? do you know anybody that has it, if so, how are they, or how do they act?

what would a Psychiatrist do? i would just go there and say, hi, i want to know if you think i have a mental illness. that would be sorda weird, lol


thanks.
