No: However, it can be a matter of opinion that the person is not impaired. Functional and experiential symptoms are not like lab results or imaging. Opinions can vary. But schizophrenia is serious enough in it's impact that it ought to have a high degree of agreement. Best!

SCHIZOPHRENIA: Please consult a Psychiatrist for diagnosis & treatment. If uncomfortable with your Dr. see another for a 2nd opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to know if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy with ZOOM.Fears & anxiety are heightened due to covid pandemic. Stay hopeful to elevate your immunity.
