symptoms of schizophrenia are divided into the following categories: delusions: this includes false ideas about other people commonly thinking that someone is spying on them cheating them or out to harm them even when evidence is to the contrary. a delusion can also be a false belief about oneself - such as believing you are a famous person. hallucinations -- this includes seeing hearing or smelling something that is not there or sometimes even tasting or feeling things that are not real. disorganized thinking/nonsensical speech -- conversation jumps radically from topic to topic and may contain phrases that are totally irrelevant or made up words. social withdrawal and apathy -- disinterest in their life or surroundings is frequently coupled with a lack of motivation and emotional unresponsiveness particularly in a social situation.
