The book you want is called DSM IV, aka, the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders". It's the most widely used book for diagnosing mental disorders.
And, lucky for you, there's no need to buy it if you don't want to. You can read it online for free:

I would check the web. And then I would ask a therepist or a doctor. I would also look it up in a search engine in a local library, you might be able to find some good books on it. Hopefully there might be a schizophrenia for dumbies.
