Is there a type of schizophrenia where there are delusions but near normal behaviour?

i think that’s my sister

She could just be delusional.

You mean like hiding the symptoms behind normal behaviour? My last break I saw it coming and I think I acted normal until I was at the doctor´s office.

her delusions sound really similar to schizophrenia
it’s okay not to have a diagnosis i don’t know either
my mum thinks she knows the system well enough that they’d take her in with no commitment to getting her well and that she’d be released for worse outcome for everyone involved
my mum has seen 12 years of psychosis in one child 5 years in me and probably another 10 in Clare
and believes the non compliant who wouldn’t even talk to a pdoc aren’t paid attention to
alcohol is going to kill her she keeps going out on the ledge 3 floors up and won’t go to AA

the complex thing is she can act well @Moon
