I'm a researcher doing preclinical work connected to schizophrenia, primarily negative symptoms, and because I don't work with patients, I lack the kind of personal insights that offers. Your videos really help me bridge that knowledge gap, and I i just wanted to thank you for being so transparent and honest, and for educating so many of us so generously. Thank you!
Make sure you watch alot of different people because everyone is so different, everyone reactions to drugs is extremely different and all that. So some people might take awhile for it to work or eve get worse from certain meds and stuff.
@@mr.peetatto6469yeah they know, they’re a researcher so they actually are informed about side effects and different med responses unlike most doctors lol
@@mr.peetatto6469lol..... you tell em! Should get their bosses info and help them redraft their research plan!
Schizophrenia is not a diseases it's environmental pollution. And a raw transmission exploiting the human behavior and exploiting the interrelations. And exploiting the world peace. An uncontrolled security system not finely tuned as yet. Weakness of Enforcement agencies.
Mental health worker here, mostly with schizophrenia, just wanted to add that I thought it was interesting that everyone ended up on antipsychotics as well as mood stabilisers. The only cases where this combination wasn't successful in keeping people balanced, and socialising, were when they were self medicating, with AOD.
Bipolar friends have also ended up on both types of meds.
You are helping me understand this so much. A family member of mine is struggling. This helps me to understand so much better, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ❤
I'm so glad!
Facts im going threw the same thing with my dad after he had a stroke from working to much it mest with his brain and he just isnt the same since
Yes, I have always had a hard time understanding my brother. But when we found out he was schizophrenia, I felt so bad for him. But he gets irritated, and aggressive sometimes. He thinks he doesn't need his meds. So it's been a tough road for him. You have helped me so I can help him. You are awesome girl.
I really appreciate you.
Thank you for everything you are doing. You are awesome
My son has schizophrenia and he is the best kindest person I know. I am so grateful to you for demystifying it and being so open. Sweet love and good things to you🎉
I appreciate your honesty and find your posts very helpful in educating me about schizophrenia. Love and best wishes to you. ❤
❤❤❤
Clinician here. I wasn't completely aware that people who have schizophrenia have alot of internal repetative intrusive thoughts like OCD and bipolar. I myself have intrusive thoughts. I have quieted mine with a B-complex supplement. Wonderful
try working on your confidence sounds like depression to me
It's no surprise that every schizophrenic person is nutrient deficient especially the b vitamins, nutrient deficiency will cause depression which means you are in a low vibrational state which then leaves you open to be attacked by these entities who influence your thoughts and emotions
I'm on clozapine. Took a week or so for them to work. They don't completely take my hallucinations away. It comes in waves and spells through out the day.
Take Omega 3... It helps a lot.
@@tamaracano7521if clozapine doesn’t take the hallucinations completely away then omega 3 definitely isn’t going to
@@tamaracano7521Hi! In what way does it help?
I'm on clozapine as well, I gained about 40 pounds, but it works without making me feel empty. It makes me sleepy as hell too.
I was on Clozapine since 2001 got taken off it 2020 during the Pandemic on Amisulperide now and feel a whole lot better I'm 40 now
I sent your channel to my husband. He's a psychologist who mostly studies depression. I hope he watches you. I found you informative. ❤❤❤

Hi! I found this comment and I’ve noticed a trend in this community and I wanna see if there’s been clinical study or if maybe a clinical study could start?
So my wife has schizo-affective disorder and I’m Autistic/ADHD and we are two peas in a pod, peanut butter and jelly, yin and yang. Perfectly balanced.
This isn’t a unique experience to her and me though. I’ve often “found” schizophrenics in my life and have always been wholly capable of helping them through paranoia and delusion and hallucinations and psychosis.
I also see others in this community say the same thing.
I think…autistic people might be like service animals for those who suffer from episodes of psychosis?
I had no clue you were illustrating this page yourself!
This is beautiful! You’re an inspiration for all of us! 😢❤️❤️🙏✨
I will say my stroll down medicated lane has been a long one!
One thing I’ve noticed that I think! Has helped me. Is incorporating ginseng vitamins and lions mane vitamins! It seems to help with brain fog. Also things that you feel may help flush the after effects of the psych meds from processing organs.
I’m so proud of you for making this a platform. I couldn’t be happier to be subbed. Thank you. 🙏❤️🙏❤️✨
I remember taking my first med too . Very quiet
I'm so very glad life is better and quieter for you now. I just subscribed. God bless you.
I have bipolar disorder and I'm currently trying to find the right meds that work for me. It is hard and no one tells you what your body goes through when trying all these different medications. Thank you for sharing❤
Thank you for addressing stigma around mental health
Thank you
Thanks for this perspective! I work in pharmacy so I'm always curious how meds work for people. Of course I know how they technically work, but anecdotes help understand the full picture
You're a inspiration badass warrior..
Thank you for the education ❤
I’m so happy for you, that you’ve found meds that work for you ❤
Thanks for sharing a nuanced experience
You are amazing!!!!! Your knowledge is so important!!!!
I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to deal with this
Glad you found a mix that gives you an improved quality of life ❤
This reminds me of my friend's experience. He struggled with symptoms of schizophrenia for years and while he was at university a psychiatrist started him on a new med. I remember him saying to me: I haven't felt this good since...I don't think I've ever felt this good!" His racing thoughts slowed down, he said the number of bizarre thoughts greatly decreased and he no longer felt overwhelmed by the chaos of his mind. It was amazing.
I love that your so brave! Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us ❤ your amazing!
I am so glad for you that you are on medication and have found some that work well. I have a cousin who has schizophrenia and refuses to take medication. He can't participate in life either professionally or social and it's hell for his parents to see their child like this.
You are so strong god bless you love keep it up and stay strong i know many people look at you and feel inspired in many ways
I'm glad you found something that works. And in regards to your other video about hearing about schizophrenia in school, I'm 45, and we just didn't really talk about that stuff, which is very unfortunate. I have Bipolar 1, and BPD. But I was told by my mom when I was an early teen, bipolar is when you know something is wrong, and you do it anyway 🙄
My son just got diagnosed we are learning to cope as a family
Hi
Glad your medication is working for you. Thank you for sharing beautiful day.
That’s great. Happy to hear that. ❤
Thank you for sharing this illness
Your awsome i ❤ you thank you for all your info .
You already know, but I just want to reiterate just how significant your transparency and journey are to us.
My cousin has schizophrenia and it’s heartbreaking to see. Currently they’re on a medication cocktail that seems to work most of the time. Main issue right now, being drowsiness, which I can relate to as I take medication for AUD, and feeling groggy and tired can bear down hard when you have a career and other demands that have to be met.
I really appreciate your story and hope that many more people, including those in the medical community, watch, listen, and understand so that we can continue to make strides in how we as a society, accept the idea of mental health and properly treat mental health issues.
Cheers, from Florida!
Did you ever get when you closed your eyes to try to sleep you have like a video reel that you would see play in fast forward? When I see something I cant hear it (usually only in dim light) and when I would hear conversations it behind closed doors...and when I would search my house no one was there!
I was on geodon and then charged to abilify. Too strong!!
Please don’t take this as disrespect, that is not my intention, I’m genuinely curious. When you heard voices was it your own voice or someone else’s voice? Was it always the same voice? Regardless, I’m really happy you stuck with it && found what works best for you. 🥰🥰🥰
It’s not my voice
Yeah Seroquel gave me that sedated fog... The invega sustenna and now invega trinza and risperidone has me not really completely without symptoms but now I can just wear my ear buds and people assume I'm on the phone if I respond to voices which is a game changer
Oh the wonderful world of trial and error of meds ! I feel ya! ❤❤❤❤❤
My brother is a schizophrenic denier. How do I help?
Very brave to share you journey ❤Thank you.
Do you take Omega 3?
@schizophrenicNYC please consider the keto diet for therapy. Many patients are having incredible results. God bless!
Have you had benifits?😊
My issue is the being tired.
I drink a lot of coffee
@SchizophrenicNYC Same here. Just a daily struggle I guess. :-/ subbed btw. Glad to actually hear from someone else.
@@SchizophrenicNYCi thought coffee is bad for schizophrenia patients. As their brain need sufficient rest and sleep to recover from episodes
Stop all sugar and processed food and take a vitamin b complex
My friend was on the medication haldol to block voices in his head I haven't seen him in 35 years id like to find him
That’s a strong one
I stayed in BHU once and I was having psychosis and I wasn’t sure if the voices I was hearing were real or not but at night I would hear yelling and screaming
i dont have schizophrenia but have had doctors drug me with stuff before thats unknown, both pills and shots. i have xero energy now perminantly and havent figured out what theyve done too me
I admire your courage posting your videos showing what schizophrenia is all about and how you experience and deal with it. I'm a nurse by profession outside the USA and the social stigma that people who are schizophrenic receive from an uninformed public is not new to me. I hope your channel grows as it can be a source of information for the public and perhaps the scientific community. I subscribed!
Can you build a community for people with this illness. This will really help them share their fight, it will build them stronger..
Im.going thru the ups and downs of drugs trying to figure my diabetes out. I feel so sick physically i want to die
What is both the old medicine that made you tired and the new ones that help you today? My brother is schizophrenic also is why I'm asking, I know he can get better if just taking meds and feel better.
Same with Pure O....
If my environment was better I'd be fine.
Idk what medication you took, but my doctor put me on zyprexa and abilify together and now I sleep 14 hours a day and I don’t even have the energy to heat up food in the microwave, I’m like a zombie + you gain a fuck ton of weight 😂 they do work though, I’m much calmer, not as anxious and paranoid and I rarely see or hear things anymore.
I'd really like to know if lithium orortate (a supplemental form of lithium which does not have the side effects of pharma lithium) can help people with this condition. It can help with depression and anxiety but I haven't come across anyone who has tried it for schizophrenia.
Ive never been medicated my whole life age 33. Im getting desperate gonna try cause i cant function in life. It just got to painful
Thats so awful. Do you have access to healthcare where you live?
My boyfriend have this disease how do I help him he doesn’t want to take medicine
My friend committed suicide has the worst case I've seen. He ran from his counselor and bought lot boxes of Sudafed pills and od on it. Only 30 yo.
How does schizophrenia affect your ability to drive? Love your content btw
I can drive. I don’t usually drive cause I live in NYC and don’t own a car.
I drive good but very rarely I’ll see green lights or red lights when it’s the opposite 😬
I knew someone who had that & not to sound "too holy" but she came to church got prayed over AND delivered in Jesus name, and she no longer had that condition. Those voices can be spiritual attacks. Again, not trying to convince anyway to convert, but prayer from real God fearing people & the Holy Spirit can remove that issue. 🙏🏽 ❤ God Bles you
Listen surah ruqya it’s a Quran recitation or visit to local mosque and explain then I am facing jin problem with in a week uill get relief
My neighbour has it so bad, you can't even talk to her, she just talks gibberish. Is this a common thing with schizophrenia?
Whats the cimbo PLEASE TELL ME MY SON IS SCHIZOPHRENI' AND IS TAKING THE INJECTION INVEGA BUT HE HAS A LITTA BREAK THRU INVASIVE THOUGHTS VOICES AND HALLUCINATIONS PLZ TELL ME😢
Im really curious when you are having a schizophrenic hallucination do you actually see somebody and is it really visible orbis it just a voice in your head that you constantly hear
I was wondering what kind of repeating words or thoughts you had?
What medicine is it that helped. My wife is on Seroquel at it's highest dose and it's not working.she is in psycosis right now and her doctor wants to hospitalize her to find the best for her but she refuses to be.
do you mind disclosing which country you live in? for the short term, you need to be able to assess how things are going. is she schizophrenic or schizoaffective? do you think there are any risks to her safety or anyone else? do you have contact with her doctor? if it gets really bad the doctor can most likely have her formed, which at least in Canada means involuntary inpatient just for however long it takes to stabilize things, which may sound harsh but it's important to understand that sometimes that's the safest thing to do. just do it in a way that doesn't make you the bad guy, do what you can to show youre on her team in getting this figured out, but also make sure to keep an emotional distance to help.both of you.
What medication do you have that actually works
Did u used SDC?
❤
I left you another note, this video has less comments hoping you'll see it. Have u ever used meditation or yoga for to help with symptoms?❤
What kind of meds are you on?
Where can i talk with you in dm?
What were the loud repeating voices saying?
It also depends on the dose. I'm on the lower dose, and I try not to take more than three medication. Personally, polypharmarcy is doing more harms than good
Nvega doesn't rid me of my voices, just lessens it. I'd pay good money to have actual quiet for more than a day
Even when normal, you still look like you have an episode. 😂
Hi bro please don't shit here i wish you or your family not suffer with such hostile condition
Amazing credit to scientists that research the anti psychotic drugs to control this hideous illness. In the U.K. the NHS use cheap medication that can cause strokes with long term use. R.I.P John 😔
what do the hallucinations look like? Are they people, or just voices?
What's your cocktail?
Med regiment
Hi
I have a problem i keep repeating words in my head in an involontary way like the word : House i would say house house house just like that i think this is a common trait of ocd or is it a common traitof schizophrenia, do you have this kind of thinking yourself, it's scientific name is echologia
Cocktail 🍹
you can't have severe schizophrenia I have a uncle hes in constant psychosis and always hear voices and seing things hes tried all the medications there is
Man I miss amphetamine 😅 had this effect.
Slightly "boring" but hey.. better than chaos 🙃
Taking that really good medication at night wouldn't have helped? I have some meds that make me super tired so I just take it at night
What kind of medicine were you on in college, I'm still trying to find what will work for me
Do you have a psychiatrist? I suggest bringing it up with them
No, I had one but not anymore
@@carolwall4129 you can’t get antipsychotic meds without a prescription, and you need a professional to evaluate effectiveness of what you’re on or if you need to adjust the dose or when to shift to something else. It’s also pretty important to have documentation of how your condition is progressing over time. For these things a psychiatrist is really something you can’t do without
How is it for you to be on social media? Do the comments ever trigger you??
😮
You needed care and place to experience the world. That it leads to. It's a conflict of there's is no attachment then there is love to b eñthere is care. You now as one person I'm not asking to change. It is the social structure
Ah, yes, the sedative effects. My partner had been on those for a while and he would absolutely be knocked out and then act like one hell of a zombie for hours. Wasn’t great.
Meanwhile when my brother tried that same medication, nothing happened.
Brains are fucking wild.
What if they are actually ghost
everyone has fleshly desires and spiritual desires. We are all victims of the human experience.
Main thing you have to admit it
Admit what? Having a mental illness isnt something that needs to be admitted .
Is that your art work in the back?
Is that your art work in the background and on the hat?
Yes it is!
@@SchizophrenicNYC that's really cool. I just found and clicked the link to check out the clothing and art. I like the designs. Even the pillbox. That's something many people don't even consider as a vital product that can also be stylish.
I stopped taking the medication provided to me for schizophrenia and I’ve little to no psychotic episodes ever since.
Thats the prob with medication it will only work for a while.
I realized when you talk you move a lot like spasms in your shoulders, eyes widening out etc... is that due to schizophrenia, side effect of medication, hyperactivity or just a tic?
We get to the point in understanding most of the world have greater irrationality then we do.
It's not only NY
Can you suggest anything to stop those voices
Wow, this is my first time on this page! And I’m glad you are brave to share about your experiences, however I don’t want to come off too spiritual but you are literally being attacked by a demonic force that doesn’t want to leave you alone. The hallucinations, loud obnoxious thoughts/ conversations etc. is coming from something demonic. I believe meds can help for so long but I also believe that schizophrenia is definitely curable by Jesus Christ. I’m definitely praying for you and that you will be delivered in JESUS NAME! 😊
(casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5
Makes me more encouraged to start taking a medicine.
Avoid weed.
My son 39 has this he's in jail rn cuz he stopped meds n walked in ppl houses on Xmas day. Why y'all don't like taking meds?
Unfair assumption not all do that
Get the word of God in your mind thats what healed my mind. No meds at all praise Jesus Christ
He didnt do a very good job if you think a fairytale character is better for your nental illness than actual nedicine.
Eat a carnivore diet and ditch the drugs
was it litium
I would never take lithium
i hated those loud repeating voices - i tried reasoning with them - for 4 years. i shouldn't have even bothered. i don't know why... i made all the sense in the world and it was like a mentally handicapped person bashing their head into mine to get me to agree with them, despite irrelevance
