not trying to be rude. Doctors: why do they act the way they do?Any scitzofrinics? i need to understand why you think the way you do. should i be worried? my aunt is a scizofrinic.my aunt is 40+ years old, and im 15. i like spending time with her, because she's nice and kind. but she gets on my nerves sometimes, because i will say something and she will just look and stare at me, and say something like "STOP IT!" and then she will always wonder what im doing if im in the kitchen, for too long, she will come in there and see what im doing. she also annoys me by laughing at stuff i say. and talking bad about me. but inside shes really nice, and she used to be nice to me, she probably gets fed up some with me. but she doesn't like to be alone, and when ever my uncle is out of rown she calls me to stay the night with her. are these actions normal for her. she is on medication.

some of the behavior your aunt is displaying, does not necessarily mean it is part of her schizophrenia, but merely a part of an adult, expressing their parenting skills to you. just because a person is schizophrenic, does not mean they have lost all their skills or instinct sounds like she really likes you and perhaps she follows you around because she is happy you are there. schizophrenics some times hear voices, and sometimes respond to them. so if u see your aunt staring that could be it, and you don't have to take that personally. sounds to me that the relationship you have with your aunt is reasonably normal. you sound like a very nice 15 year old, to spend time like that with your aunt. good for you below is a link to a site that may help you understand schizophrenia {note correct spelling} hope this helps

I have a relative with similar symptoms. Schizophrenia is not a disease that will completely go away. In most cases medications can help manage the disease and lessen the effect but it never really goes away.

My relative also takes her medication but she still has the hallucinations. And paranoia usually goes along with schizophrenia. That is why she may seem overly paranoid or wondering what you are doing when not in the room with her.

There is no cure and all you can do is your best. Kudos to you for spending time with your aunt.
