Hello,

I was feeling like I am mentally sick since 3-4 year. I often do unhinged things that doesn’t make any sense. I constantly imagine things that’s not the reality however I know it’s not reality but I still smile thinking about those imaginary stuff and also I get depressed thinking the imaginary stuff. I don’t hear any voice but I keep talking to people in my head. It’s difficult for me to sympathize to other people. I can’t even make any social connection because my brain will make some negative assumption toward that person who is actually a nice person.

I went to psychiatrist and he said I have schizophrenia and told that I need immediate treatment. he gave me 9 injections and medicines. I feel like I am scammed. I don’t know I feel the same before and after the treatment. It also cost a lot of money around 1000$. I am so frustrated and don’t know what to do.

any suggestions would be appreciated.

    What country are you in and how well-regulated are psychiatrists there?

    Have they told you what the medicines are? With psych meds sometimes they have to build up in your system and it can take a few weeks. But one-off injections sound a bit odd.

    You should be able to look up the treatments on drugs.com or wikipedia.
