Schizophrenic hallucination question?
I know that many schizophrenics hallucinate things and people.
I'm curious if anyone can answer how vivid and frequent these hallucinations can be? For instance, is it uncommon for someone to hallucinate one person, engaging in fine conversation and going about doing things like they're really there? Is it common for a schizophrenic, who hasn't been diagnosed yet, to have a hallucination so vivid, that they believe that person is actually there with them?
If so, what kind of schizophrenia would this be classified as? Or would that be determined based on symptoms other than the hallucinations?

What you describe is not an ordinary sort of hallucination that a schizophrenic has. If this is the only (or main) symptom it's unlikely to be schizophrenia.
