I am 22 years old. When I was 13 I had my first suicide attempt and was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I also had audio and visual hallucinations, but because I wasn't 18 yet, they did not diagnose me with anything that has to do with that.. Fast forward 9 years today and I still feel very depressed at times, have anxiety (I can not hold a job because of it), and still see and hear things that are apparently not there. Over the last hear it has became worse. I often think about suicide.. Not exactly like I want to kill myself, I just think about it a lot. My question is, do people with a severe mental illness know they have it? I.e schizophrenia..
