My younger sister is ten years old and says she hears a voice that tells her to do harmful things to herself because the voice hates her (i.e put her hand in the garbage disposal and turn it on) she does have adhd…i am really concerned we are taking her to see a doctor but is there anything you think it could be besides schizophrenia?
Aww, that’s scary! I really hope you figured it out and she will be okay. I’ll ask my fiancee (studying psychologist,) his opinion. Just because I’m curious about it. But let me know what you found out.
They questioned (I have ADHDO schizophrenia with me. They never really thought I truely had it but they asked me questions when I was about 9 years old to tell weather or not I had schizophrenia. YTruth be told though, I was developing depression at that time, and yes I did also have ADHD. I think they did that because oif my irritability.
we’re just philosophers. excuse us.
then again, several have said they don’t think I have ADHD but that there were reasons or something.
True!! Visionaries!
its possible the stimulants are causing psychosis if she is taking any but its pretty rare. personally i dont experience hallucinations on high dose stimulants unless im up for more than 3 days and im talking meth amphetamine at realy high doses so idk you should definately go to the doc.
This is a very mysterious sickness that is hard to believed that it could happened to an intelligent, energetic, extrovert and so social bro of mine that’s acceptance of his condition is hard.
skitzophrenia,aspergers,and mild autism are all cover ups for children and adults that have opened their psychic mind
IndigoCat, alot of people with schizophrenia sometimes believe other people can read their minds or they could read other peoples minds due to cognition problems. Its really not good to go around and make comments like that, things like that can cause paranoia in others and delusional thinking patterns. People with schizophrenia have a hard enough time as it is.
i have that problem. when i’m in public, i’m always afraid people are reading my thoughts.
Ignorant people like you should meet a paranoid schizophrenic sometime, if not live with him/her for a few days. If you saw what was REALLY going on, you’d change your tune yesterday.
I am schizotypal and have ADHD it’s much bout being disorganized.
I REALLY don’t think my brother’s friend who was not on meds (yet) and has Schizophrenia was trying to paint my Mom’s house in a thong and bra because he was opening his ‘psychic’ mind.
Nowhere in this video did you go on to describe the signs of schizophrenia, but instead just played around with the definitions of the illness previously mentioned and ADHD.

To a certain point we are all schizophrenic.
i was both depressed and hyperactive in school, and the school i was in assigned me with a psychologist. unluckely imessed him about quite a bit and never really talked to him or cared too much because i didnt realise there was anything wrong with me. aged 18 i started to develop schizophrenia and have live with it since, im only 21 now. in my case i think smoking cannabis from aged 13-18 didnt help. lol
@TheLawAbove i believe i can read minds because i can, not because i’m deluded. everyone can read minds.
