Good news, bad news: It's no joke to suffer mood swings and loss of sex drive, but... The good news is that it is not at all likely that you are in the early stages of schizophrenia. Try to find a psychotherapist who can help you understand what is going on and make a referral if necessary. The bad news? Sit down, take a deep breath.... You're too old. Nearly all cases of schizophrenia start in early adulthood (18-30).
