The child’s choice of animal is not significant, but what matters is how the cat and dog dichotomy functions. The type of animal the child chooses as *imaginary* may hint at their level of paranoia, depending on how threatening the chosen animal is to the animal the child plays. When the child asks the *imaginary* animal a question, if the child pauses for a few seconds (as if listening to a response), they may be experiencing hallucinations. If they speak both ends of the conversation, they are likely not hallucinating. The professional should take note of the child’s response to the following: Does the animal scare you? Can you make it disappear? Do you feel you are being watched? If the animal scares them, it is an unpleasant presence that is more likely to be a symptom of Schizophrenia. If they are unable to make it disappear, it is likely a valid hallucination. If the child feels they are being watched during the activity, this may be another sign of a valid hallucination. The game of chase will likely not point out any signs of Schizophrenia, but the level of aggression the child uses may hint at the behaviors they exhibit with any siblings or even parents. Hostile domestic situations can contribute to the visibility of certain mental disorders.
