<s>[INST] Hey my name is Charlotte. I am 14 and i think i might have a bad case of schizophrenia. its really hard to believe it but when i read book i then later see the characters from the books. They appear to be like a regular person infront of me. i have not told anyone and im scared. I dont know what to do [/INST] Hithanks for using Chat Doctor the way you are explaining your experience, that's sure you are not a case of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder and patients do not have insight about his illness. What you are experiencing is, your imagination after reading a book. This is called pseudo-hallucination, and it is not a psychotic symptom. It could possible in any case. Don't worry. Just enjoy your life the way you usually enjoy. In any case u need help, u can connect us. Thanks </s>
