  PTSD symptoms can look very similar to schizophrenia symptoms.

  My friend had schizophrenia. It took a lot of time to get her on the right medication that worked for her. She was one of the nicest people I&apos;ve ever met and I miss her very much. I remember when my daughter was born, I asked her if she wanted to hold her and she said you are going to trust me with her? I told her of course I trust you. It made me sad that she thought that. All my kids adored her

  Narcissistic abuse can also lead to a misdiagnosis. &nbsp;Sometimes a person is being abused to make them appear crazy.

  In the late 70s, when I was around 12, my 18 year old brother was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Our parents were ignorant, toxic and unsupportive. I was left home alone with my much older brother, witnessing his frightening episodes. IE: he could be telling me how much he loved me, the sweetest little sister in the world, then spin into angrily shouting that he hated me because he knew I hated him, then come full circle to loving me again - only 10 minutes might have passed and I wouldn’t have said a word. He accused me of witchcraft, prostitution, of coming on to him because I was wearing lip gloss. He sacrificed my pet rabbit to God to atone for the sins of all mankind. There was little understanding of schizophrenia back then and even more stigmatism than now. The stress took its toll and I was acting out and tried running away several times. I was being treated like I was loosing my mind too. I don’t blame my brother, I wouldn’t wish his malady on my worse enemy. I want to offer a virtual hug to all the other siblings out there. I think we can easily get traumatised and forgotten.

  Early warning sign for me was hearing somebody calling my name when I stayed up late. Somebody who wasn&apos;t there. Happened to me in my teens.

  I have schizophrenia. My first sign was that I thought people were talking about me. Then it spiraled to delusions and hallucinations both auditory and visual. I wish I had known. I got help right away thanks to my mom. She recognized something wasn&apos;t right with me.

  another sign for me was that I would get aggressive and snappy at other people out of nowhere. I am generally a gentle and non-confrontational person, but I would act this way towards everyone, even people I loved, because I thought everyone was working against me.

  My mother suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. I haven&apos;t seen her in over a decade. I wish there were more resources for children who grew up like I did. It&apos;s lonely and alienating.
