Is my hypochondria manifesting from my schizophrenia?
« on: January 14, 2013, 10:07:16 PM »
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia a few years ago and I was on medication all this time up until the last year or so but I haven't seen any visual hallucinations but a few times I believe I've heard things again. Could my hypochondria really be my schizophrenia? Making me believe I have things wrong with me when there isn't. I didn't think about it until my doctor did lots of blood tests and I had a CT scan and i'm currently waiting for an MRI result to come in.

Do you have any input on this?

I don't know the answer to this but since schizophrenia can you cause paranoia and heightened awareness I can definitely see how there might be a connection between the two...

I think it would be a good point to bring up as well. I am sure that it can play a role in what you are feeling, etc as Echo said.
