Schizophrenia : I'm not sure what you mean when you say that you cannot perform certain actions. Let me ask you, are you currently medicated and in therapy? If not seek a full work up from a seasoned psychiatrist to assess your current needs.

MAYBE: Schizophrenia is an all encompassing disease for sure. Get appropriate treatment and medications. Work on behaviors and daily health as well. I do not know a term for what you are saying but you can certainly research schizophrenia on WEBMD or MAYO CLINIC sites.
