Is talking to yourself and back signs of schizophrenia?

Answer 1

It can definitely be one symptom, but that doesn't mean you have schizophrenia. Check with your doctor first before diagnosing yourself with a mental disorder. But I'm sure if you think you can detect that you have schizophrenia, then you're not schizophrenic.

Answer 2

Having conversations with your self is not necessarily a symptom of schizophrenia. Hearing voices that exist only in one's mind (auditory delusions) is a more definitive symptom of schizophrenia.
