Hi,

Recently found out about this section. So I was wondering what is the difference between these two mental illnesses.

Years ago I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, but I did not experience any hallucinations. Some of my thoughts are paranoid by nature but some are real(people mocking me, backstabbed by peers, observed by neighbors, etc...), else the symptoms and traits I have seems to be related to this PD, though not sure if "idea of reference" is counted. The paranoia feelings are reactive depending on experiences with certain situations and environment..
