My husband is Psychotic , What Are signs of Schizophrenia ?

Keep in mind there are different forms of schizophrenia (Disorganized Type, Paranoid type, Catatonic, Residual, Undifferentiated) and there is also Schizoaffective disorder and Schizophreniform Disorder. Some medications can cause psychosis like symptoms along with stress and other things and only take what we say here as a basis, he needs a doctor to diagnose him as they will give you an accurate answer not anyone in here.
As for symptoms see the following list I've posted:

Delusions- convinced of things that are evidently not true, maybe that there are cameras watching her or her food is poisoned or people are following her.

Hallucinations- visual auditory and sensory, so smelling/tasting/feeling/heari... things no one else does, often it is voices, sometimes sound.

Withdrawal from society so often becoming less sociable to friends for unknown reasons.

Disorganized speech and behavior, so sentences may not make much sense or she will have a hard time trying to think.

Working things out and holding concentration often become harder than usual.

Random moodswings, schizophrenia is random NOT periodic like bipolar disorders.

Suspiciousness of things especially friends or partners

Sensitivity emotionally and to things like light

Fatigue or the opposite so sleeping more than often or less then usual.

There are many more symptoms and like mentioned before a doctor is the only one who can properly diagnose him and treatment is very important. If he does have schizophrenia make sure he NEVER goes off his medication not even when he feels well as it never goes away sometimes people only have a few episodes of schizophrenia in their life but if left untreated it can become chronic and it is degenerate so time without treatment he will become worse and worse until there is more illness than your husband.
Remember be there for him as his wife not as a nurse who's constantly putting pressure on him asking questions like "have you taken your meds? have you done this? that?" just be there for him and read lots of first person experience stories, I have found they always give you more information than anyone else you can find quite a few on amazon, goodluck with it all.

Go to Web MD to see pretty thorough research on a variety of topics. I think schizophrenia is characterized by hearing sounds or voices that are not really "there"...
