hi
thanks for using healthcare magic

the way u r explaining ur experience, thats sure u r not a case of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder and patients do not have insight about his illness. what u r experiencing is, ur imagination after reading a book. This is called pseudo-hallucination and it is not a psychotic symptom. it could possible in any case. Dont worry. Just enjoy ur life the way you usually enjoy. In any case u need help, u can connect us.

thanks
