Hello,
I have schizophrenia however you won’t even know it unless I tell you myself, I only have delusion of reference and delusion of persecution. I feel like people want to harm me or mocking me. I don’t hear any voices though which is the major symptom of schizophrenia. I am afraid of water and soap too.

Fortunately my parents are alive. This is the exact same thing my new psychiatrist is thinking. They are decreasing the dose of APs and increasing the dose of anti-depresent.
No they didn’t do a brain scan yet.
Some anxiety is attributed to an enlarged area of the brain that is responsible for being overly alert/onguard. I think there are theories this can develope from early trauma. Some places do a scan to see if they are dealing with brain physiology or psychology.
