schizophrenia

Hi I think I have schizophrenia caused by weed. I had the effect of schizophrenia and will it go away and make me feel normal again? :/

What do you mean had the effect of schizophrenia? Schizophrenia is a very complex disorder and on top of that there's different types.

If you mean you were paranoid and saw things after you smoked weed, that happens and it goes away. Although smoking weed can trigger your first episode of a mental illness so if you're that worried go to a doctor and stop smoking weed.
Simple as that.

Schizophrenia is a very complicated disorder, and is often self diagnosed by teenagers. It is generally genetic, and not cause by outside sources.

What you're dealing with, is just the side effects of weed. Hallucinations are the reason that people do weed, not just the good feeling. You're simply having a bad trip, and it will pass within an hour or so. Some people cannot handle weed, I suggest you refrain from more weed if this is the kind of reaction you have.

it has been around 3 days. i feel listless. no mood to eat. why?

[OMFG!You'reActuallySmart!]

In order for any diagnosis of schizophrenia to be made, the symptoms outlined in the DSM-IV-TR or ICD-10 must be present for at least a few months. Having no mood to eat for 3 days is just as likely to be depression, dissociative disorders, anxiety, etc... . In other words, it's meaningless for psychiatry.
