New Q&A: Could a person with schizophrenia have such a mild version that he appears completely normal except in periods of high stress?

Summary A:No to the first question and yes to the second.

First let's look at why schizophrenia doesn't really work -- and by the way, most movies and books default to schizophrenia without realizing these things below, which is why half the killers in fiction supposedly have it and yet have no symptoms of it! So it makes total sense that would sound like the right diagnosis if you didn't know the clinical info. Thumbs up for asking!
