After stress and depression, I began to have cognitive problems, then I started feeling empty in my head. then the feeling that the world has changed and as if I am no longer the same person. then emotions and feelings disappeared, the perception of smells was distorted. unpleasant sensations in the body, absent-mindedness, as if he had been drinking. there were no hallucinations or delusions. Pareidolia developed, I had this in childhood, but it didn’t bother me anymore, now pareidolia has weakened, I saw faces everywhere for a week. all the symptoms began abruptly, within a month. I saw two psychiatrists. one says recurrent depression, the other says anxious depression. I think it’s the beginning of schizophrenia. How do you think?
I d k…you could be prodromal…pre schizophrenic…or bipolar and manic…not sure…you need to work this out with your psychiatrist.

I had bad depression throughout high school. There was also quite a lot of paranoia. I was never sure if it was because I was imagining things, or because my hearing was genuinely really acute, so I might have picked up real insults.
I have head some people describe this, but it’s hard to say. Like @jukebox said, this is something to discuss with your psychiatrist.
Sz is only diagnosed if positive or disorganized symptoms are present.
