How old are you?
My very first thought comes to me from memories of meeting many people who have schizophrenia, during the times when they were having very severe episodes in an emergency setting. I do not know very much about the day to day regimen to manage the disease through medications and psychiatry though.
The number one thing that always stuck out to me.. is that the people I have met who have schizophrenia are absolutely some of the most nicest people I have, and will probably ever meet.. in this whole world!
I do not have classical schizophrenia by any means. But, I do have a disorder which causes me to experience nearly the exact same symptoms that a person having schizophrenia does.. and I have managed very well in most all parts of my life.
what are your symptoms, if you don't mind me asking?
it always comes down to meds and 'therapy', i.e. moneyed interests.
I would be cautious as psychiatrists have a lot of incentive to de-normalize patients and then present a 'solution' which involves someone somewhere making money off of it.
I'm not trying to discourage you from anything, or say you should act one way or another. Maybe certain meds will be beneficial to you.

I remember learning many people with schizophrenia are diagnosed at around close to the same age, usually 20-21 years old.
Have you had an acute sudden psychotic episode yet?
There are three phases to the disease and they usually always occur in a certain order. They cycle like this throughout the course of illness.
If you have not had a sudden acute psychotic episode yet.. because this is going to be the main first initial indicator for most people when they are first getting diagnosed.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. It's important you do a lot of research on schizophrenia and the meds so when you talk to doctors you know what's going on, and what they are suggesting.

I'd trust him and try the meds, it may be easier to get under control if you just started experiencing symptoms.
You can play it safe by staying at home for a bit with someone else to make sure you don't have a bad reaction.
