Are disorganized and vague thoughts suggestive of schizophrenia?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a problem with people who came inside my home and placed deadly war material in my socks and shoes. I believe there is a transmitter for microscopic weapon parts in my socks, and I have pain in my foot. I need a Morphine tablet.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern and will surely help you out. I feel that you are facing a problem in your mind which could be a manifestation of a serious psychiatric disorder like schizophrenia. Your symptoms, referred to as bizarre delusions, generally occur in schizophrenia. The other symptoms of schizophrenia are lack of sleep, suspiciousness, hearing voices that are not audible to others, lack of interest, anhedonia, demotivation, and social isolation. Another symptom called lack of insight is commonly present when a patient denies any psychiatric illness but attributes their symptoms to some external source. In more serious forms, the patient starts believing that some external agency manipulated their thoughts. I suggest you consult a psychiatrist for help. The positive thing about schizophrenia is that it is treatable, thanks to the multiple pharmacological agents discovered in the recent past.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
