Best Answer

Depends on what you mean by freak out. There are many different types of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is an umbrella term for different types of schizo-affective disorders. If by freaking out you mean losing control, attacking someone, or attacking him/herself, yelling at people who aren't really there, reacting to imaginary stimuli, then this is usually caused by 2 things:

  1. visual, auditory or tactile hallucinations
  2. not taking medications

When a schizophrenic person takes medication regularly as assigned by a psychiatrist and receives regular counselling, that person very seldom has an extreme episode. When s/he does the schizophrenic is typically more dangerous to her/himself than anyone else although of course a schizophrenic can also be very dangerous.

It is usually wise to call an ambulance and remove yourself from a schizophrenic person's company when s/he displays highly disturbing behaviour.
