Do YOU Have Schizophrenia?

We so often are asked to provide a diagnosis for people who describe their symptoms to us and so we wanted to address that in this video. The main thing we want to convey is the importance of NOT SELF DIAGNOSING. We describe why it's so important to go to a doctor or a psychiatrist if you have any concerns about your mental health, and why it can be dangerous to self diagnose. We then also provide some of the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia based on the DSM-5. This information is intended for you to compare to your own experiences and bring this to your doctor.
