What are the symptoms of schizophrenia?

What are the symptoms of schizophrenia? I am getting very worried about my 35 year old stepson. He thinks people are out to get him, that they are following him, even people he barely knows - like our neighbors who only know him to say hello. I m very worried as my husbands brother was schizophrenia, is this something that can run in families?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.In my opinion, symptoms of Schizophrenia are hallucinations that can be a single voice or several voices, and that can be commenting on what one is doing.Some Common symptoms are:-Commanding voices.-Thoughts being known to others--Poor self-care-Problems in attention--Planning social withdrawalIt can run in families, but it only means there is an increased risk.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Gayathri
