Fear of getting Schizophrenia due to health issues

Hi everyone 

I have many health issues going on right now and when Googleing my issues it always says that Schizophrenia can happen. 

I even have a few gene mutation that say could lead to it. And I don’t detox well. 

And now recently I found out I also have some copper Toxicity. Which also says that people with Schizophrenia have. 

I’m freaking out so bad. And I mean no disrespect at all. But I really don’t want to get it. I’m now in constant fear of getting it.

It’s making my anxiety so bad.

Any insight?

Thanks in advance

    Unless you start to feel symptoms of psychosis, yes stop or u might trick yourself into feeling that way.

    I agree.  Dr google will have you going from a mild headache to dead in 3 clicks!  It sounds like you have health anxiety.  x

    Hello! Copper toxicity can really cause mental disorders but not Schizophrenia.

    Did you consult  psychoendocrinologist regarding your hormonal issues?
