No, it is not. Other psychotic disorders can include delusions of grandeur as well. So can narcissistic personality disorder.

Can Seroquel cause schizophrenia?
Seroquel cannot cause schizophrenia. It is designed to treat schizophrenia. It is a common psychotic delusion to believe that an anti-psychotic such as Seroquel causes, rather than treats a psychotic disorder. This is because Seroquel, and all drugs of the anti-psychotic class used in the treatment of severe psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, cause uncomfortable side effects when initially administered. A schizophrenic who resists treatment will identify those side effect symptoms as the disorder through the process of rationalization.
What is adolescent schizophrenia?
Paranoid schizophrenia is a mental health disorder in which the person believes that he or she is being persecuted when he or she is not, shows a pervasive (continuing) pattern of this, and has those beliefs when most people would say that there is no reason to believe that the person is being persecuted. If John believed that people at work were trying to hurt him and were always talking behind his back, then that would be an indication that John had paranoid schizophrenia. Paranoid adolescent schizophrenia would be paranoid schizophrenia in teenagers, not in adults.

What is similar between schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder?
Although so-called schizophrenia is said to be a brain disease, while DID is acknowledged to be a psychological reaction to traumatic life events, so far no evidence has been found to support this distinction, and prove the brain disease hypothesis of schizophrenia to be true. In fact, newer research strongly indicates that both are caused by childhood trauma. Dissociation is not restricted to DID, but can be observed in schizophrenia as well. If a person is labelled with schizophrenia or DID depends on to which extent dissociation in relation to other trauma responses is predominant. If a fight, flight, or freeze response is predominant, the person will most likely be labelled with schizophrenia. If dissociation is the predominant feature she will probably be labelled with DID.
What kind of disease is schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder or group of disorders that affects the normal functioning of the brain and severely impairs thinking, emotion, and behavior. Doctors do not know the specific cause of schizophrenia, but both environmental and genetic factors do play a role. The symptoms of schizophrenia are delusions (strongly held false beliefs), hallucinations (false perceptions), flat affect (not showing emotion), and disorganized speech, thinking, and behavior.About 1% of the population worldwide has schizophrenia, even though schizophrenia is one of the top ten causes of disability worldwide.Schizophrenia is not the same as multiple personality disorder or "split personality." The confusion arises in part due to the meaning of Bleuler's term schizophrenia (literally "split" or "shattered mind"). The "voices" that people with schizophrenia hear may have distinct personalities, but schizophrenia does not involve a person changing among distinct multiple personalities.

What kind of schizophrenia do you have if you self-harm?
There is no specific type of schizophrenia that is associated with self-harm. Self-harm in schizophrenia is generally associated with delusions.

Because self-harm in schizophrenia is associated with delusions, patients with paranoid schizophrenia or undifferentiated schizophrenia may be more likely to self-harm than patients with other types of schizophrenia.
