A lot of these are things are normal, i have a stressful job, and i have experienced anxiety, poor concentratin, irritability, depression, and have seen it in other people. We are human beings and most human beings experience all this. However there is a part of the brain that deciphers what is real and true and what is not true, and that doesent work properly with schizophrenia, so if someone said to me an alien race had taken over all key figures in the local and national government, my brain functions normally and dismisses the notion after not too long, however the schizophrenic may dwell on this and start to believe it. So it is a disorder different from generalised anxiety, depression etc etc which is very common for all humans (and other animals!)
IIN my greatest fear is becoming a reality and I don't know what to do
