Symptom #1: Delusions

For the most part, we live our lives according to the reality of what is going on around us. We can separate fact from fiction and not be affected by hypothetical or fictional situations. However, for people suffering with schizophrenia, this is not always the case. They often suffer from delusions, convinced that such fantasy or fiction is very real indeed.

With delusions, schizophrenia sufferers might be convinced that something terrible is about to happen despite there being no reason to believe it. They are often convinced that people are trying to harm them when it is simply not true. They can also be deluded into believing that they are suffering from fictional illnesses that they just don’t have.
