10 Symptoms of Schizophrenia
Symptom #3: Ideas of Reference
There is a great deal of information going on around us all the time. For the most part, we are able to filter out those things that are not relevant to us and focus on what matters. After all, much of what is happening around us has nothing whatsoever to do with us personally.
However, for people with schizophrenia anything around them might be directly connected to them personally. They can feel that a song or TV show is all about them and that there is some message that is being conveyed. They might even be convinced that there are messages in the simplest of things, such as in the colors of the wallpaper or in the order in which colored objects appear.
