any type, schizophrenic, schizoaffective, schizo typal, etc?
Full blown Schizophrenia is worse than schizoaffective. The recovery rate for schizoaffective people is a lot higher than those with schizophrenia. Schizoaffective is mainly a mood disorder. They are discussing taking it out of the DSM. (Read the bipolar one and the schizoaffective descriptions, they are very very similar). My GAF score is really high. I'm looking forward to my almost normal life.
I sure hope not. My grandmother had schizophrenia though. Considering that onset is usually late, and I'm only 22...it's worrying.
that's if you have the bipolar subtype, I have the depressive subtype. I don't have the mania I have the really bad lows and the psychotic symptoms. I've been told by every single doctor that their is no way I'm bipolar I don't experience mania
both but mostly auditory and some delusions that don't last more than a month at a time, and some tactile ones aswell ie bugs crawling on me feeling like its raining on me when their is no rain i feel it but it simply not possibly happening.

I've heard that the average age of onset of schizophrenia is ... 25 in women.
Late on-set schizophrenia can be diagnosed in the early 30's. This happened to my bff's mother.
yes they usually have prelimary symptoms. though their might be cases where they don't.
