A member asked:

I see bugs, and now "things". could i be schizophrenic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Visual hallucinations are usually associated with other medical problems and are not the commonest in schizophrenia. You really need to see your doctor, this could simply be a side effect to a medication that you are on good luck.
