Well your friend does have a phD...but is it in psychology? Anyway, symptoms of schizophrenia include sensory hallucinations, that includes smell and touch. Do you really not smell anything at all? Not that I don't believe you, it's just that sense of smell and taste are strongly linked, so I feel like that would mean you don't taste food very well, either. It could be an olfactory hallucination, and your sense of smell actually does work, you just believe you're not smelling anything. Touch sensitivity wouldn't be directly linked to your sense of smell but rather linked through the fact that it's stemming from your schizophrenia. This is not taking into account your other disorders, though, so it could be from another disorder. It's hard to say, but if you don't already, then it's something better discussed with someone in your treatment processes, such as a psychiatrist or therapist. They'd be better equipped to help you understand your particular set of disorders.
I really can't smell and yes, it does affect my sense of taste but that is not what I am really worried about. It's the feel of things. So you think that my sense of feeling also has to do with the schizophrenia?
Oh and yes, my friend does have a PhD in psychology. He actually helped write a psychology book that students use in the General Psychology class.
