Mental Illness: The signs of schizophrenia at any age are hallucinations when you hear, see, feel. Smell or taste things that are not there; delusions which are when you believe things that are not true; disorganized thinking or speech such as talking a lot before getting to the point or making up words that do not make sense. If amy of these are present see a pediatrician or family medicine doctor.
