Schizophrenia
Others problems cause very similar or the same behaviours as schizophrenia as is seen and heard by doctors, or experiences by people: medical conditions, other psychiatric conditions, the behaviours caused by certain plants and chemicals which when eaten or inhaled in the breath as smoke, or powder. Many medications (licensed drugs to cure or treat an illness) may also cause the same symptoms as schizophrenia. The most common ones are antidepressants (medicines to treat depression) and ADHD medication (medication to treat ADHD, a condition affecting the brain, including memory and focusing on surroundings.) If a person has taken anti-vomiting medication (medication to stop them being sick) for some time and suddenly stops, he or she may get schizophrenia symptoms. Hundreds of medications have schizophrenia symptoms as rare side effects (unintended effects of taking them). Illegal drugs such as LSD, amphetamines, magic mushrooms and cocaine may cause schizophrenia symptoms.
