I am 21 and have severe anxiety and depression issues, should i be worried about schizophrenia?

Worried no, tx yes: Worry about getting help and leave the diagnosis to your doctor. You already are worrying too much. Be honest about your symptoms to your doctor so they could make the best treatment decisions. In my bood i wrote a chapter called: what's my diagnosis, does it matter and who cares?

I am re-printing a previous answer: Robert Stewart answered Depression ; anxiety: Do not lead to schizophrenia, and schizophrenia is much less prevalent (less than 1.5% lifetime prevalence) than depression and anxiety (up to 17% lifetime prevalence). Manage your depression ; anxiety with the help of cognitive therapy and relaxation training.
