Schizophrenia can be extremely serious and far more debilitating than that. Now if repetitive behaviour is a symptom or not, that I don't know. As for why didn't anyone notice, I think they did. I think the main character has called the police everytime, repeating what he did the first time he found his mother dead. Probably, the last time he heard from her was when she called asking for him to buy her some groceries, and now he's hallucinating that again and again. The fact that he's not hospitalized suggests that he was probably doing fine besides his illness, probably taking the appropriate medication, but then his mother died, and his psychosis took a turn for the worse, and he not only stopped taking his prescribed medication, but he also forgot he was mentally ill to begin with.
