Schizophrenia can be difficult to recognize, especially in its early stages. Many people experience symptoms like hallucinations, paranoia, or disorganized thoughts for a while before realizing something is wrong. Others might not notice until their loved ones point it out.
❓How did you first realize you might have schizophrenia?
❓How long were you experiencing psychosis before you got diagnosed?
❓Was it you, a family member, or a doctor who first noticed the signs?
