My psychologist say I have this. I've been paranoid with some people around me planning harm to me. I don't hear voices in my head. I can't believe I have schizophrenia

Well, hearing voices in your head are just one of many symptoms of schizophrenia. If you have the constant feeling of confused thinking, false beliefs, depression, anxiety, and unable to sometimes accept reality, then your psychologist might be right. But it doesn't mean it's necessarily so, some other health-related issue are closely associated with these same symptoms, like those of schizophrenia.

Going back to your description, you made a comment about people close to you who intend on harming you. Have you had such experience before? Has any of your suspicions come to pass? Why do you think people are out to harm you?

I don't want to sound like your psychologist, but the answers to the questions above might be the defining moment of your sanity or health state. And it's probably the reason why your psychologist thinks you have it.

My only problem is being suspicious and paranoid that some people are plotting to harm me and it happens many times. I react violently and became very angry.

I'm grateful that people in my country are coming to terms with mental health disorders because before now people never thought it could be a health problem they attributed it to witchcraft and other diabolical means. But in this time and age this notion is changing.
Mental health is real and people have come to accept it now. We now have experts, counselors, therapists working tirelessly to help mental disorder patients. But what I wish they should do more is to spread the gospel of mental disorder to the ignorant ones that tend to victimize people with mental health issues.
I will advocate that people with mental disorders should seek help immediately, not until one starts hearing things in the head. One should get the needed help.

It's good if the issue disturbing you has been found. And if you say whatever fears you have come to pass then you should try and be away from the causative agent. Avoid those people whom you think could cause you harm.

Yes, schizophrenia is a mental illness that is characterized by symptoms such as paranoia, delusions, and hallucinations. It is important to note that everyone's experience with schizophrenia is unique, and not everyone with this condition hears voices in their head. If you feel like you may be suffering from schizophrenia, it is important to speak to a mental health professional who can properly diagnose and treat your condition.

There is no one mental illness that gives someone schizophrenia. schizophrenic individuals have a combination of mental health and medical conditions that makes them vulnerable to developing cancer, other mental health issues, and other issues.

Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning, and can be disabling.
