A member asked:

I've heard someone say you can think yourself into schizoprenia by thinking about ittoo much. this can't possibly be true?i'm a pyschology major..

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Schizophrenia: No, you cannot think yourself into schizophrenia. It is a real disorder that has neurochemical origins. You can just create anxiety worrying about getting it. So, i suggest you do not waste your time thinking about getting the disorder.
