Is chronical schizophrenia more frequent? plus, how it shows itself?

my pdoc said that my state is chronical. in fact, without meds I feel terrible all the time and it gets harder and harder with the years. my condition is such that I cant work, cant have interests, emotions,friends or hobbies… in the day I am bit better already with my meds :). but can it be a schizophrenia this thing because I feel bad all the time since 20 years??? all my sz friends have the illness by episodes, not chronical like me… one other pdoc suspected the borderline diagnosis for me…
I still think its strange what I have. I am not really sure that I am sz, really… plus, in my country, you get it easily this diagnosis plus I was overtelling things to my ex pdoc in the past… but wow, be in the same state for 20 years, isn’t it strange?

and how is it for you people? is it per episodes tour illness or its chronical? I never had such thing as hallucinating or to be completely delusional… I have some strange other symptoms though… all my sz friends have the illness per episodes…

I’ve only been ill for a bit more than a year so it is too early for me to tell. I feel like My sz is more like yours where I constantly have symptoms.

My illness was chronic all of my life until recently when I was placed on a regimen of medications and coping skills that worked for me. Now, my sza illness is more episodic. Flaring up only when something comes up to somehow interfere with my medication regimen.

thanks for the answer @Gina2, I start to see the things more clearly already,i see :).Yeah, I became chronical too and the last time my pdoc said something like that that my paranoia is still a sharp symptom… Ill hope that it will change for me too. :slight_smile:
