How do you distinguish between Mania and Schizophrenia?

the symptoms are:

paranoid delusions of people knowing your thoughts and out to get you and testify against you and make false complaints against you.

auditory hallucinations of many voices conversing (like you're in the middle of a crowded auditorium) and you can focus in on certain conversations and then others.

conspiracy theories about the government intruding with your thoughts and transmitting radio-like waves to your mind to control your thoughts.

seeing little shadows go wizzing by in your peripheal vision.

not eating.

not sleeping much.

talking too much too fast too loud.

saying things you don't want to say.

not being able to put your thoughts into words.

spacing out, staring into space.

feeling suicidal and homicidal.

outbursts of rage like throwing things and yelling.

(and all these things occur at the same time for a few weeks but gradually progressing and then ending in depression)

schizophrenia or mania and why do you think so?

There is a disease called schizoaffective disorder that mirrors schizophrenia and occurs usually in the manic state of someone who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I'm not a psychiatrist but it sounds like you have schizoaffective disorder. Talk to a psychiatrist, psychologist, or therapist about your delusions.

Both are caused from nutritional deficiencies and or delayed allergies or heavy metal toxins, they are not some uncontrolled circumstance that can only be helped with drugs.

I've lived long enough to see it for myself.

One is where you don't stop until you drop, mania.

One is where you get too involved in conspiracies and or believing others are out to get you which is psychosis.

The other with visual and auditory hallucinations is schitz as well as saying sentences that don't make any sense to anyone.

You can experience mania by taking SSRI drugs or crystal meth or cocaine.

You can experience psychosis with SSRI drugs, speed and or cocaine.

You can experience schizophrenia with LSD or too many shrooms.

You can also experience any one of all three from sleep deprivation for up to four days.

You can also be one of the unlucky people to be allergic to glutens which can trigger schizophrenia.

You could also have mercury poisoning which can trigger any one of these illnesses.

You can also have serious vitamin/mineral deficiencies which could also throw your hormones so out of whack that you can get any one of these symptoms.

Drugs are not the answer as you can look up nutritional deficiencies and or food allergens and mental illness and share with everyone what your findings are.
Sounds more like mania with psychosis than schizophrenia, but either way, this person needs to get treatment ASAP. The manic symptoms are the lack of sleep, episodes of rage, not eating, talking too much too fast too loud, and the fact that it ends with depression. In extreme cases of mania the person can become psychotic, which is where the first few symptoms you listed fall.
