Can you still have schizophrenia with a normal mri... diagnosed with schizophrenia but had an mri for a different reason and it said mri was normal?

Yes : An MRI is normal in schizophrenia. Not taking your medications is dangerous. You should discuss this with your psychiatrist.

MRI: Normal MRI rules out organic brain illnesses. Recommend resuming your medications to maintain stability & prevent relapse.
