Only a trained psychologist or psychiatric professional can diagnose schizophrenia.
You can educate yourself on the subject so that you can provide information to your medical professional. People who are aware enough to ask the question should have a much higher recovery rate than those who are not.

∙ 9y agoI would suggest "see a doctor"... hopefully they will refer you to a psychiatrist to evaluate you. Or you could do what I did... wait for a psychotic episode, and have the police come and take you to the emergency room for a 72 hour involuntary hospitalization. Although my experience was not too bad, others have had very bad experiences so I really can't recommend doing this.

If someone is mentally ill does that mean that when he complain about a crime it is always in his head?
No. Mental illness is not synonymous with paranoia. Unless someone suffers from actual paranoid symptoms resulting from a personality disorder or delusions of persecution resulting from psychotic symptoms, they will rarely report crimes that did not occur. Further, even those suffering from severe, debilitating paranoia can be victims of crimes. They, in fact, are a particularly vulnerable group. Police officers and mental health providers should never assume that because a person is mentally ill, the crime was not committed.
