[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster. My sibling has schizophrenia that went under the radar because he was very intelligent and highly educated. He had been a lot of fun before the onset, and we’d travelled across Europe together as teens. The disease presented as fixed delusions/obsessions, superstitions, mumbling to himself, odd behavior, mysterious writings and rants and erratic temper. So, in other words like schizophrenia that in hindsight I can’t believe we didn’t fully know, but he refused to go to the dr or acknowledge that he wasn’t well. Also over a slight disagreement, he would storm off saying he was going to k himself. I always had to walk on eggshells and my parents were always afraid he would do something rash like that to himself, but he was never exactly violent towards us. He is on mood stabilizers now and lives far away, but I am vary of visiting with my kids. [/quote]

My sibling also has schizophrenia but he was always off/different but never got any kind of diagnosis. There were definitely warning signs and red flags that he wasn't like other people.[/quote]

I have a friend whose sister was diagnosed with schizophrenia in her forties. She was always a bit quirky, but finally had a major episode which led to in-patient care and her diagnosis.  It seems to be an illness that can go undiagnosed until later in life.  [/quote]
