Schizophrenia

To try and keep it short. I think the writing is on the wall that our daughter should see someone and should have seen someone already but we have just been thinking it was something she would grow out of. Also one comment is my wife is high anxiety issues to the point of being agoraphobic but has worked through it and does get out way more than she used to early on. I think my wife is an enabler for my daughter. See comments below.

So my daughter's issues started with having to check everything before bed. Check every lock on every window. Check the door is locked. Look in the closet. Look under the bed. Double check everything. Very compulsive and she would check things that no one could be in. For example she would check her drawers, etc. Open anything that had a lid. She has always been someone who is very scared. She cannot watch a scary movie and if she does we are normally dealing with the issue of her being scared every night. This has been going on for a few years now. But that has been the extent of it. Like I said I think my wife is an enabler. I would tell my daughter to go back to her room and go to bed. There is nothing wrong. My wife would always respond to her., Go in and console her etc.

Well last night my wife was up with my daughter to 3am because even with my wife in the room. She was hearing noises in the dark. Seeing things moving. Hearing growling. Etc. She doesn't have these sort of things go on in the day. It is like she is a little kid afraid of the boogie man but to the extreme.

Unfortunately I don't have patience for my wife's anxiety issues and really none for my daughter's either, but should I be concerned. Is this some sort of beginning schizophrenia? I'm pretty sure we are going to have her go see someone but I worry about the labeling.

Any advice? Any similarities or articles that you could point me to.

Concerned but frustrated father.
