Okay, I can't say for sure if Mr. Pickels is Lammy's imaginary friend or not but she is not schizophrenic by any means. One imaginary friend is not schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is rare, disabling, and almost complete "I reject your reality and substitute my own." Symptoms of schizophrenia include:
 * Vivid visual, auditory, ol'factory, and tactile hallucinations unable to be distinguished from reality.
 * Broken and grumbled speech that's hard to understand.
 * Consistent delusions. i.e May believe they are someone famous or that their neighbors can read their mind.
 * Difficulty expressing emotions.
 * Incorrect physical emotional response. i.e May start crying because something is funny when the appropriate response would be to laugh.
 * Poor planning and critical thinking skills.
 * Poor fine and gross motor skills.
 * Difficulty beginning and sustaining activities.
 * Trouble paying attention.
 * Poor working/short-term memory.
