where can i find a relible test for schizophrenia online?

Answer 1

I wouldn't rely on a test over the Internet. The best thing to do is go to a mental health professional and seek there help. The diagnoses of any mental health disorder is not like taking a math test, it is a battery of things that you do and talk about that makes up any good diagnosis.

If you do not have insurance for this or if you can't afford it, your community mental health will see you and normally has a sliding scale fee. Good luck.

Answer 2

Schizophrenia is becoming an outdated term. We are now finding that mental illness in many cases have a root of physical illness. It might be a chemical imbalance. such as too much dopamine. Bipolar might be too much to too little adrenaline. It might be a birth defect or a genetic disorder. We have drugs to control the symptoms because we just don't know yet. Remember that not too long ago the medical profession thought seizures were a mental illness. It seems silly now but was once an accepted medical diagnosis and the people were placed in mental hospitals. We know very little how the brain really works and the fied in just beginning to open up.

Answer 3

If you have schizophrenia, you wouldn't likely recognzie the symptoms. One of the problems with the disease is that it involves a disconnection with reality, and only after receiving medication that brings one back to reality are you able to be convinced that you actually have the disorder.

If you are suspecting such a disorder, the chance is that you don't have it. You can contact your local mental health agency if you have questions about yourself.

There are a couple of different sorts of schizophrenia. Many people who have this disorder have psychotic delusions. They may believe that they are secretly working for the government, or that secret agents are implanting devices in their bodies to record their thoughts. Some beleive that all of their thoughs are able to be heard by everyone around them. Some get violent and have committed terrible murders. If you know somebody with these delusions or symptoms, they should be receiving treatment.

I know a number of people with this disorder who are living productive lives. A very famous mathematician by the name of John Nash, who won a Nobel Prize has this disorder. You can see his story in the movie "A Beautiful Mind".

If you have questions, don't rely on an online test. See a qualified therapist or psychiatrist.
