Someone talking on the speaker phone in their car. Most move their hands up and down and head side to side as if the person they are talking to is standing in front of them. Usually oblivious to anyone looking.
Dude #1: Hey, check out the guy next to us.
Dude #2: Wow, is he rocking out to Pantera or something?
Dude #1: No, he's just a "cell phone schizo", probably chatting with his ex.

Take your medicine (you) schizophrenic.
Used when somebody goes on a schizophrenic, or schizophrenic-like ramble.

a: see entry for schizo and combine with an emotionally unstable sociopathic ego-maniac ; b: a term more specifically oriented towards the absurd psychosis of a crazy bitch.

Does not refer to actual schizophrenia, first of all.
"Schizo" is someone with an irrational macro-level fear, such as believing that tech companies are tracking your information to make you eat bugs. This is the fear or worry at the level of disembodied groups or abstractions - schizos are worried about a "they", or at a concept, but without an idea in mind of how their fear would be carried out realistically.
This is in contrast to "paranoid", which tends to mean irrational micro-level fear, such as believing your neighbor is plotting against you. Paranoia fear or worry at the level of specific identified people or things.
(Neither of these are clinical definitions; this is slang, and by definition colloquial.)
It can also be used as a prefix. "schizoconservatism" describes the kind of conservatism characteristic of InfoWars and QAnon. "schizonutrition" describes a bizarre and evidence-agnostic nutrition characteristic of solbrah. If you see schizo- used as a prefix in this way, just think “the conspiracy theory version of that.”

Soandso keeps talking about how he "won't live in the pod" and "won't eat the bugs", this is such schizo shit oh my god.
