Best Answer

Her best bet is a psychiatrist. Schizophrenia is best treated with both psychotherapy (also called "talk" therapy) and medicine. Psychiatrists can both prescribe medicine and provide psychotherapy. Even if it turns out that she doesn't have schizophrenia, the psychiatrist can help her understand why she thought that she did (or, if she has a related disorder, help her with that) and refer her to another specialist if she should see one. Tell her that if she tells her doctor that she wants to see a psychiatrist then her doctor will recommend one who is covered by her health care plan.
