Question 1

how to know if i have schizo?

Accepted Answer

Vague question: "schizo" is not a psychiatric diagnosis, so i can only guess about what you are asking about or what the word "schizo" might mean to you.  If by chance you are asking about schizophrenia (and I am only guessing), you can find some info here:

Question 2

what is the schizo-obsessive disorder? is there a cure?

Accepted Answer

No such thing: There is no such thing as schizo-obsessive disorder, as you put it. There is such a thing as schizoaffective disorder which is a combination of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and there is also obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) which involves repeating unwanted thoughts and repeated acts or rituals based on those thoughts. Most often the emotional impetus behind OCD is fear and/or anger.

Question 3

i was wondering are schizo narcissist?

Accepted Answer

Some are and some no: The answer to this question is remarkably complex. To a large extent degree it would depend upon the premorbid personality of the person with schizophrenia. If they were narcissistic before hand they could be narcissistic afterwords. However, once hallucinations and delusions have set in, it is anybody's guess as to whether the hallucinations or delusions will cause them to become more narcissisticor perhaps even less narcissistic.
