Is it possible for someone with schizophrenia to realize there sick before theyre told?
AuroraBorealis
Many schizophrenics realize that they have problems without being told. The condition has nothing to do with intelligence, merely with the ability to discern reality. It may become clear early on that they do not march to the same beat as other people, although they may not realize the reason. Others view themselves as normal, and the rest us as being out of touch.

∙ 9y agoYes and no. Schizophrenia often manifests seemingly out of nowhere, and many people do not realize they are showing symptoms. Others, however, are aware that something is wrong, but are not sure exactly what it is, or what is causing it. Complicating matters is the fact that schizophrenia causes delusions or hallucinatory behavior: for example, a person hearing voices may believe the voices are real, and cannot understand why others don't hear those voices too. Similarly, getting a person into treatment is complicated by the fact that many schizophrenics do not believe they are ill. That said, there are also some people who are very much aware of the disease, often because someone in their family (a parent or a sibling) already has it.

What is wrong with describing someone as being schizophrenic?
Describing someone as schizophrenic is not using person-first language. Person-first language is putting the person before the disorder, so that you do not refer to someone as being their disorder. Saying that someone is schizophrenic implies that that person is defined by schizophrenia. Instead of saying that someone is schizophrenic, try saying that the person has schizophrenia.
What are the symptoms of residual schizophrenia?
There is no specific list of symptoms for residual schizophrenia. Residual schizophrenia is most common type of schizophrenia now due to medication. It occurs when someone has had an active episode and currently do not show any symptoms of delusions, hallucinations, disorders of thought, grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior, and negative symptoms. They still are clearly not the same person they were before the schizophrenic episode had occurred and probably will have some strange behaviors.

Is talking to yourself and back signs of schizophrenia?
It can definitely be one symptom, but that doesn't mean you have schizophrenia. Check with your doctor first before diagnosing yourself with a mental disorder. But I'm sure if you think you can detect that you have schizophrenia, then you're not schizophrenic.

How likely is schizophrenia hereditary?
Schizophrenia is partly genetic- one out of ten people who have at least one schizophrenic relative also have schizophrenia (compared to one out of one hundred people in general). About one out of two people whose identical twins have schizophrenia also have schizophrenia. However, schizophrenia is not completely genetic. If schizophrenia was completely genetic, everyone who had an identical twin with schizophrenia would also have schizophrenia. This is not the case. Like I said before, about 50% of people whose identical twins have schizophrenia also have schizophrenia. There are environmental as well as genetic factors to schizophrenia.
Who was the first to have schizophrenia?
Nobody knows. The condition has existed for thousands of years, way before records existed.
