This is probably 100% incorrect in every neuroscience way, but I've heard schizphenia describes as the metaphorical opposite of OCD.
In OCD, you can turn a light off 10 times, see it happen with your own eyes, and still not feel like it happened in any way that will make you feel ok.
In schizophrenia, the slightest suggestion that something could have possibly happened feels more true than anything you've ever felt in your life. Even if you didn't see it, even if it requires 3 hypothetical and unlikely jumps to make it true, it feels completely true and almost nothing can convince you otherwise.
