[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 408241, member: 1550"] I know a wee bit about schizophrenia, although that's the one bullet I dodged. Schizophrenics can have it from birth, like bipolar and often when it comes out in all it's glory (usually in late teens or early 20's, but can be much earlier) the parents say, "We didn't see THAT coming, but, then, there were signs that he/she was different..." Interesting is the fact that a large proportion (although not all) of schizophrenics are born in late winter/early spring. Nobody knows why, but there is a theory about Mom maybe getting some illness that causes schizophrenia. It is also highly hereditary. I really think that the extremity of the paranoia needs to be looked into. That isn't normal. While my teen may tell me not to be so loud because it embarrasses her (as in Mooooooooooooooooooom!) she does not think that everyone is looking at her, nor does she avoid windows, etc. Nor did I, for that matter, and I'm filled with anxiety. I do think a GOOD psychiatrist should be taking care of her. I think small mom mentioned Zyprexa...I don't know how antipsychotics works, but they are GREAT for distorted thinking and thought disorders. Not all work on all people, but they are the go to medication for people who are not seeing reality as it truly is. Ex's family history is scrary. I'm really sorry. I hope you find somebody who is very good at treating young teenagers with problems. [/QUOTE]
