Is it normal for anxiety sufferers to be scared they are going crazy? multiple doctors have told me i just have anxiety but cant stop worrying about becoming schizophrenic. do schizophrenics have insight?

Yes, specific fears are part of the overall manifestation of anxiety. There is clear criteria for schizophrenia. A doctor will be able to examine you and differentiate between schizophrenia and anxiety. Please consider booking an appointment with a doctor who can help you pursue treatment for anxiety, and then follow your progress over time.

Sorry for this stressful situation. A clinical psychologist can both diagnose your situation and treat you for anxiety, if that is the case. You MAY have a phobia. The very best to you.
