"Prodromal Stage"

Explanation:

According to my research on the different stages of schizophrenia and different diseases we can say that the phase described in the question is the "Prodromal Stage". Every disease has a prodromal stage which is the phase in which the sufferer starts to show and suffer from the early symptoms of a disease. Some of the Prodromal Symptoms of Schizophrenia are hallucinations, delusions, disordered thoughts and loss of motivation and emotion, among other symptoms. In this case they usually last a couple of weeks but go worsening over the years.
