Brennen's channel / @schizointhroughlife
I found Brennen through this video ( • SCHIZOPHRENIC EPISODE ... ) that popped up on my feed of him going through an actual episode. I reached out to him and here we are. In this episode of Chatting with a Person with Schizophrenic we talk about his diagnosis and first symptoms with Schizophrenia, how he copes with it, and other general struggles in his life. Thank you for tuning in and remember to leave a comment and round house kick to the face to that like button.

Schizophrenia is a debilitating illness. This dude fighting through it and finding a way to live his life is an inspiration.
and actually educating people on how it affects him, this illness is so incredibly misunderstood and mocked about its just sad. It's important for more people to understand it.
@@peepogob yes! we never know what people are going through. judge no one

My buddy has it. I think lots of people with schizophrenia have good hearts
We definitely do
Andrew: So when you were diagnosed were you like 'holy shit'?
😂
not andrew cracking open a cold one mid interview 🤣
Daddy is just different
lmfaoooo
It blows my mind that your mother just believed you and immediately took action. I tried telling my mom something was wrong as a child and she completely disregarded me. I’m 34 now and realizing I have to figure it out.
You think that's bad? I showed signs of autism as a child being terrified of loud noises and having learning issues. My mother didn't even blink an eye. It was only at age 33 that I realized something was wrong and got tested finding out I'm fully autistic. Makes me so mad cus this is like starting over again now. I don't even know how to process it 😕
My grandparents would belittle me over my depression until one night I had a mental breakdown and went a bit crazy. They cried their eyes out cause they never believed in depression. They caught my brother cutting himself the long ways on his arm and almost lost his life. Mental illness runs deep in my family and now they take it seriously. When I moved out for the first time like a year later they upped my rent and all that shit and I couldnt pay so I freaked out and called them and they rushed 45 mins to my place I lived alone and consoled me. It takes hardship for people to finally understand. Now they are with me through and through. It feels good having people understand you.
@@TheothesleeperI mean autism isn't really a disease like schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is probably far worse to have and not be treated than autism. With the hallucinations and delusions going untreated, they basically completely lose touch with reality and could end up killing someone innocent, not to mention it destroys their own life.
Psych nurse here and an insightful and intelligent young man, the best description of Schizophrenia I have ever seen. Excellent articulation of what I directly have observed. He is so aware and has developed coping skills that help him stay in reality. Kudos to him!
Hi! Stumbled across your awareful comment. I have a question. Do you teach patients how to be self-aware, articulate and cope with the condition? Thanks.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this
Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is dr.porassss.
i had weed induced schizophrenia couple years ago for like 2-3 months, peaked high during the beginning and slowly fading away completely at 3 months. me hitting the dab pen everyday, every couple of hours, and then not sleeping for two days finally triggered psychosis. what he said his first symptoms were was the same for me. i felt like i had a hit man trying to snipe me, a fucking ac-130 above me. no joke shit was insane. i felt like i could communicate with people through thoughts alone. all i needed to know was the sound of their voice. i would subconsciously mimic their voice talking to me all in my head. i only saw a few visual things, but mainly just voices in my head randomly, and worrying about people hearing my thoughts. i’m grateful it all went away on its own, i just had to stop smoking weed. i haven’t experienced a symptom since then so im pretty sure im cured and good.
You don’t have the condition. It doesn’t just go away. Weed has been shown to cause psychosis in certain individuals. It’s called “drug induced psychosis”. The weed paired with the not sleeping can cause delusions and mental withdrawal. Be careful because weed is actually dangerous for certain people. Like everything in this world
what youre describing is psychosis, not schizophrenia
@@Kakerate2 ahh youre right i just did some research. schizophrenia can't be cured, while psychosis can. so i definitely had psychosis not schizophrenia.
@@DarkJak90000 it is called cannabis induced psychosis
I love how in the thumbmail Andrew looks like the schizophrenic one
this alone sounds judgemental and isn't really cool or funny to say
@@RobbiePfunder It’s a little funny though
@@RobbiePfunder it is funny, stop being soft.
😂😂😂
@@RobbiePfunder move on
Wild stuff. Absolutely wild. I'm glad he's still here too to tell his story 🤝
Followed this guys channel since he was just a kid. He put out some really interesting vids of him speaking about his experiences while he was undergoing one of his Schiz episodes, some truly terrifying stuff to deal with alone. Such a nice dude, wish him all the best.
Andrew please continue uploading on a consistent basis even if the views are lower I just know that overtime it will grow, we love who you are and your personality!
Crazy stuff, he's still so in tune with the reality of his situation at the same time and its so real.
Love these - awareness that isn't sensationalized by the media and just a genuine conversation is so rare
Hare Krishna
I know that guy!! So proud of you Brennen! Can't wait to see what's ahead 😊🎉
Seems like a cool guy. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Woah! I just found Brennen’s channel not too long ago. Had no idea he’d just appear on LAHWF. I appreciate seeing the perspective of somebody with the condition and his openness and willingness to share what he’s going through. I hope it’s helping him to some degree.
Hell yeah man. So glad you brought these back
Brennen is real. Type of person you could grab a bite and listen talk for 90 minutes. I love people like that.
Hey
@@bradford_shaun_murray what's gooooooooood!?!?!
Andrew you really are my rock in stormy weather, love the uploads!
Have you done a chatting with a bipolar as well?
Would like to see that
loving the content, andrew talks so smoothly i could fall asleep to it
These are the CW that I miss. Very good episode.
GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU FOR SPREADING AWARENESS AND FIRST
ur welcome, congrats on being first
@@OwenWithAHammer THANK YOU
Man, I totally feel him. Many of his answer are literally me, I mean as if I am looking at myself in the mirror! I'm rather introvert, shy, I really enjoy my time at home and I often feel like I can't fit. Sure, I don't have schizophrenia, but I guess this is just one of many differences between me and him. He also don't share many of my weaknesses, nobody is perfect generally speaking. So I'm really sorry for him and I wish he can make it and have a great life. But yeah, he is literally me.
30:17 was that on purpose, had me worried
Damn we're ALL hearing voices now lol
Yeah wtf 😅😅
Yeah what is going on here?? Seems like a bad episode to have strange noises like this going on during too 😅
Yeah that's careless editing, there's people with schizophrenia watching this
I was diagnosed with schizophrenic at the 30 17 mark. rip me.
My brother has schizophrenia and they think was triggered by smoking crack and weed as a teenager for many years. Apparently I have a few minor symptoms but have stayed sober my entire life.
By your experience sober seems was in the family, so drugs for him heavily triggered a genetic predisposition.
My body went schizophrenic and just exploded out into Infinity. It was like I was an ice cube thrown into the ocean and it just melted. This was by far the most incredible and most positive and most joyful experience that you could possibly imagine. That was the moment of death and I had the Epiphany that death is the greatest thing that could happen to a living creature because it feels like in that process of dying for a split second it's terrifying because you're dying and you have no idea what's coming next. But then as you fully let go and the death occurs the next Split Second you're so relieved. It's like your entire life was this giant thousand pound weight wrapped around your shoulders just tons and tons of weight and then all of it was just lifted in a split second and you realize that you're untouchable and that you're Immortal and that nothing could ever disturb you again. It's complete peace just utter peace and joy and profundity. The beauty of it is Indescribable.
How is it possible. There's no way that this is possible. Did I really just die? How could that be?
I'm laughing and I'm smiling 😂
Beautiful
That's trippy, damn!
That ice cube analogy is beautiful
The analogy of the drop becoming one with the ocean of beauty is also used by Plato. Look up Jung and confrontation with the self or the Unio mystica
thats not schizophrenia youre cracked
Love these videos Andrew! Keep them up!!
i was on apipropazole for about a year and i never had any side effects besides restlessness and a kind of impulsive speech, that weight gain shit sucks cause it makes you not want to take it. I had a drug induced psychotic episode that ended at delusions and auditory hallucinations thats luckily gone away after ive gotten sober and i bet this guy knows himself well but its still scary to be off it this guys brave as fuck.
THATS MY COUSIN🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
He's a good guy. Stress can make this spring up. Clearly a sensitive guy
I remember watching his first videos and is such a sweet kid. Haven't watched In a while but I hope he's doing okay.
@@mgray999 hes doing amazing
I'm proud of him and thankful he has support in the family 💪💜
@@CrustaceousB of course, Hes like a brother to me
The audio at 30:17 was trippy
I'm glad you did this one. It explains a lot of what a good friend of mine was going through. The general public definitely is misinformed about schizophrenia. Seeing the first episodes is painful. And it's the best feeling when you see them doing better.
Brennen you have one of the strongest wills and you articulate yourself extremely well, thanks for what you do 🫡
Love this series Andrew!
This dude has beautiful hair
I've been a fan for years and I'm here at 150 views and 15 minutes pls notice me
Noticed!
Message copied boss
@@LAHWF :D
strong awareness. Clearly he is rooted ("identified") in awareness and not the mind. Very interesting interview. Thank you guys ❤
We need an updated interview with CG Kid pleaseeeeee 🙏
He looks like such a cool and down to earth dude! hope he keeps doing ok.
A little off topic, but both you dudes should be in the hair modeling business! hashtag studs. PS: Glad to see you doing these pods again.
What a strong individual 💪🏻
Thanks for having LA Turtle on for this. Had no idea he had schizophrenia
I saw a young man who had a dog who let him know when people came in, so that he knows when he's hallucinating an unreal person coming in. It's such a shame that there are not better medicines without the side effects. We should have an Operation Warp Speed for mental illness treatments like we did for Covid 19. I think the paranoia is so terribly debilitating.
It would just give drug companies more incentive to push over prescribing by doctors.
Another common method is using a phone camera, since it’s very unlikely the brain would create a duplicate hallucination on screen.
It requires a bit more lucidity than having a dog though. And the camera is probably confusing to people who aren’t hallucinations and don’t know the circumstances
they still use the same medicines used in the 50's... its disgusting and absolute disgrace. We've always been told to trust the science but there's no one on the frontline putting their time and energy into helping people with severe mental illness. I would argue these people suffer the most in our society and yet they are pushed into hospitals, over medicated and forgotten about. It is truly sickening.
What a nice young man. This will make a great in person chatting with interview - part II. Which I believe ..hands down, is LAHWF's best content. 👉 In person chatting with interviews. Personal, friendly, intelligent, compassionate etc etc.👌
Funny thing is Andrew sounds like he’s the schizophrenic and the other guy looks and sounds completely normal.
Great interview Andrew and Brennan!
Thanks for having me on
30:18 making me think I may be schizophrenia?
holy crap me too, i just thought ok here we go, this is it im schizzin out rn
Glad you are here Brennan, you seem like a great guy ❤🤘
You are a very bright guy. Thanks for sharing
This man seems normal and succeeded living with the illness
Wow! that was very interesting. I watched a few videos of that guy in the last years on his youtube channel. I always been very curious about schizophrenia and he really describes it well. At a young age, I always wondered why my uncle would start acting up suddenly, talking nonsense and people would give him pills to calm him down, and he was laughing all the time alone by himself
Fascinating interview!!
Great guest, great show!
i dont understand why you cant take your awkward character into a podcast type thing. bobby althof made millions of views off of being awkward and here you are the king of awkward still doing 'chatting with's.
Chatting with someone with borderline personality disorder?
YA, HOW ABOUT MY WIFE
@@MKatMidnighthahahahah
He did do an interview a while back with a girl that had bpd but the video isn’t anywhere to be found, I don’t know if he took it down or not
Nice. Last 2 videos have been people with mental illness. Thanks for spreading awareness ❤️
I'm seeing quite a few people with schizophrenia having really good UA-cam channels.
I don't know if Brennen looks at the comments but I check out other YT channels with people living with schizophrenia and although in its research infancy as it pertains to the therapeutic effects for those with schizophrenia, ketogenic diets are proving effective for some in that people are able to cut their dosages down or even entirely. Might be worth looking into or talking it over with your medical professional, if he hasn't already.
chatting with random people at X, u could go to like a court and ask randos what their case is that might be neat
Whoa hey sir please put the hammer down
@@emericaman16 somethins gettin put down and it aint the hammer
I wonder if he ever tried to change his diet and exercise program. I really have so much empathy for him. He's really has coped he seems so logical. Also, the medications he takes give him suicidal thoughts. He has to hit the gym or work on a sport he loves weekly he has to move he doesn't move enough.
Recently the Maryland health dept was doing a study on how keto diet, or lifestyle too, can help but for some reason recently stopped this study that involved patients. I guess it’s the brain and body starving for nutrients and becoming imbalanced.
@@ceejay6417 I have schizophrenia and I've tired keto, but I didn't like it. So I'm trying intermittent fasting to improve BDNF and it seems to improve my illness, although slight I see more beauty in the world and less scattered thoughts.
You need to interview StreetsLA, William Gude
StreetsLA has been doing wonders standing outside the Scientology building out on Hollywood Blvd , he lives streams and has saved many people from getting lured into the building!
Doesn't sound like it's worth a full talk.
How about you interview him
where did your video go Chatting with a Person with Schizophrenia that you made a few years back ?
He asked me to take it down like 2 years later
@@LAHWF wow thanks for responding. Understood.
Should had asked him if he wanted to jet back to your place and pop in American Psycho in full blu-ray
Chatting With podcast will break the internet. Trust me. It's all today's market needs.
30:17 What's that sound???
What the fuck was that ? Scared me to hell
it’s andrew messing with us lol
and at 5:00
@@armitaa2373 That's something he'd pull lol
I love these videos
Andrew loose the AI noise reduction. these sound artifacts are scary as hell.
Brennen seems so cool! Also has cool hair.
That's called dopamine supersensitivity psychosis, when you stop it and get much worse in a short time.
"Everyone out to get you" is also a side effect of depression. 😞
Targeted Individuals watching this conversation and rolling their eyes.
Are you doing any group interviews after this one or is this just a one off?
All The best! ❤
this is great content
Seems to be a very intelligent young man. I agree, start exercising. Try boxing or ju-jutsu for instance, I think you will like it. They require more thinking than people might realize.

My schizophrenia has taken my social life. My children no longer are in my life. My family has turned against me. And I've been victimized by many people. I'm now 40 and looking forward to death as I'm facing prison and I don't do well behind bars.
whats with the random sounds? 30:17?? Fuckin tripped out for an episode about delusion
Ive got bipolar, borderline personality disorder, panic disorder, anxiety disorder, ptsd from an event i wont mention, depression and autism spectrum disorder. Its not pretty :( :( :(
the will to make a thought
What happened to the interview with the burn victim guy? How’s he doing?
4:06 👀 Andrew's eyes lol
hes well spoken
he reminds me of young leo decaprio
I don’t know if you’re reading this but can you do live streams again? I’d like talk to you again :) - Johnathan
Dude seems cool lol I like how he said he doesn't take it seriously, that's great reminds me of me on a shroom trip hahaha
This dude reminds me of me so much.
I’m on the vapes too, but I think this guys life would be 50% better if he quit vaping.
I’d say at least 30%, vaping doesn’t exactly help anxiety ot your health in general
Many people with schizophrenia smoke or vape because it helps them collect their thoughts which is something commonly struggled with by people with schizophrenia
@@AustinWalkerYT I know exactly what that feels like, it calms the mind. I think that’s why most people vape
And I’ve found with me - vaping literally gives me anxiety. Same with caffeine. I am giving myself anxiety! So hard to stop though
drinking coffee at work is a must. I don't even understand how can someone skip such a ritual. lol@@CT-pv9gu
Good vid Andrew
😮After listening to different people talk about their symptoms, i honestly dont think im schizophrenic..or bipolar..😢im starting to wonder if my wife is a narcissist gas lighting me.
I dont get it.😢
What happened to the first chatting with a schizophrenic episode?
He commented somewhere else, the guy asked him to take it down some time later
for some reason i see two andrews in these thumbnails everytime and i get excited thinking its some skit or prank where he is chatting with himself this time 🤣 bet u start doing that and actually start figuring out your life type shit lol
At first glance, I thought the guy on the right was Jerma
tinnitus used to be mental health issues also
his numbers are way off. It's 17 and up for men and 19 and up for women to be diagnosed. and my aunt was diagnosed at 13, so there's that.
At 4:15 Close family(brother of Neuropsychologist) with a condition is a conflict of interest to objectivity to diagnosis, should have had a second opinion, and pharmaceuticals prescribed beforehand could have induced or worsened condition.
30:18 Am I schizophrenic?
30:18
the most inappropriate editing error ever
Interesting video
I’m not alone
