About John Expertise I am only too familiar with the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) formerly neurosis. I understand the various treatments available and medication therapies being used and other co-existent problems along side OCD. I can help you identify it in yourself and in others and where to get help.
Experience I correctly identified it in a family member when it was still though to be a rare illness. I later identified it in my daughters classmate and some co-workers. One of which kept being fired because of it. I have watched the progression of the disease and the areas it creeps into and the effect of medications on it on a person. If you see it in a person especially a child you need to intervene quickly. I did and now the one child just graduated magna cum laude at a state university.
Publications I would suggest a separate heading for this disorder under the heading of Obessive Compulsive Disorder.

Answer All of these questions are best addressed by your medical doctor who should be a psychiatrist. Do not begin to imagine that just because it sounds like you have a symptom that you have the illness. many things can cause hallucinations besides schizophrenia. It can be a reaction to the medicine you are taling or a poor diet. Again just having hallucinations is not an indicator of schizophrenia.
