I don't have schizophrenia, but I am definitely binge-watching your content. You are very brave for openly discussing something that is stigmatized in society and trying to make a difference for those with schizophrenia and other mental illnesses alike. I've never known anyone closely who has been affected by this illness, but your videos are helping me understand so that I can be more knowledgeable, understanding, and helpful if I ever do. Keep up the amazing work, and I hope you're taking care of yourself the best you can in stressful times!
yes! it's really easy in a manic episode to think that you don't actually have bipolar!

the movie "the soloist" is based on a true story about a musician with schizophrenia named nathaniel ayers. it stars jamie foxx and robert downey jr!!
You’re a true inspiration to me. I find your videos very helpful and easy to understand the breakdown of information. My father was schizophrenic. He passed at the age of 28 and I was only 9 months old. I’ve always wondered soooo many things as you can imagine. Your videos help me understand and are truly helping me. I am now 30 years old with two kids of my own. I always worry about genetics but I do understand the environmental aspects of everything as my dad was abused as a child. Your channel has helped me greatly because I’ve always been so bitter that he took his own life. I’m trying to acquire information about schizophrenia all the time just so can understand. Thank you for all that you do and keep pushing through!
Thanks for covering the illness with your channel. Im 49 and have schitzoeffective dissorder.. Not sure if I've balanced out with age or my meds have done a large chunk of the work. But I was a lot worse when u was younger. I'm sure it's a combination of things but I feel more stable than I use to. Hope this helps.
Wow this was helpful did your meds help?
@@9etherNina he literally said his meds did a lot of work
@@TTInfiniteGaming who tf are you getting smart with !? & Then you chose to reply 3 months later to me. Stfu don’t at me. I was talking to him not your KFC chicken ass
@@9etherNina someone’s a little angry 🤣😂
This may sound idiotic but the illness may be stigmatized - and channels like yours are hopefully changing that - but the name of the illness is beautiful. I've worked with people with mental illnesses and suffer from it myself, it's not fun but we're not as strange and exciting as people sometimes think we are.
People ought to learn the basics of common mental health issues. Not just so they can realise if they might have it but also to ease up stigma.
Nice point about the beauty of the term “schizophrenia.” You’re right, it is striking and sort of musical.
I was treated for excessive anxiety as a teenager. I think a lot of mental conditions are of the nature of not so much getting over it, but getting on with it. We learn ways to cope with it. We may even turn it to our advantage. My excessive anxiety forced me to learn to plan ahead. Best Wishes!
Yes I agree with changing schizophrenia from a mental illness to a brain deases ....it should be treated like autism or even brain cancer patients get more care and less stigma then people who are born with schizophrenia
Totally agree. It would help take away the stigma as no one blames people for being autistic.
There's still plenty of stigma around autism...so much so that people are terrified of vaccinating their infants!! I think stigma arises from fear of intense difficulties, and it's possible it may never go away among those groups of humans who are young, ignorant and/or have not had much hardship in life to date.
@@easytoslip Yeah there is a lot of stigma around autism and even Alzheimer but less than schizophrenia but that's mostly because horror movies always make the killers schizophrenic and not autistic. Though I feel as a schizophrenic we don't get as much flack or made fun of on a day to day basis because we don't always experience our symptoms while autistic people constantly experience theirs on the other hand people tend to be scared of us and we don't get nearly as much support or say in the kind of treatment we receive.
This is how it is in Norway.
Autism is not a "disease" it's a developmental disability present from birth.
Your videos are giving me hope in the darkest time in my life, thank you for sharing your answers, all the best to you and yours!
Thank you for your continued education on this illness. Fantastic, as you catalog your experiences. It helps so much in the understanding of it in a real way. Keep up the great work you all do. I applaud you!
Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. Also, thank you so much for being so open and sharing your experiences. I really enjoy your channel and hearing your insight!
I have schizoaffective disorder. I've had it since I was 20 and I'm 29. sometimes I still struggle with thinking people can hear my innermost thoughts and I hope that I feel less like that eventually. I do take my meds and I have a therapist. I'm doing much better now than when I was I first diagnosed because I was also mixing drugs and alcohol with all that was going on. I'm also an alcoholic and a drug addict. I have 6 months and 6 days sober today. :)
Vitamin B12 deficiency has been highly linked to several psychiatric disorders like impaired memory, irritability, depression, dementia, delirium, schizophrenia and psychosis1.

I love your channel so much! A loved one is in process of being diagnosed with Schizofrenia and having all this information from someone who is going through it is so, si helpful. Thank you, you are making a difference!
Thank you for a great channel.
You are very well-spoken and explain things very well.
Greetings from Sweden
Love your voice! Excellent explanations, great pacing, thank you 😊!
Lauren, You seem to be doing really well. Which is fantastic! I do not suffer from schizophrenia. Nor do I know anyone who does but i find the subject interesting and enjoy learning about it. Your efforts to raise awareness are working. Keep up the great work!
I'm so thankful that your video showed up in my feed. My son has schizoeffective disorder. Your video gave me hope about his future! Thank you for speaking out and sharing! I'm very much appreciative!❤😊
Question: how do you help someone with schizophrenia
Answer: love and compassion
Me as an autisic: oh crap
sean coffey Aww. If they love you when they’re well, just do your best❤️
They got you younger 😂
@@christiank.7505 ?
@@seancoffey5169 aliens have black eyes right? Have you ever thought of going on a space ship and waking them them up? It hurts their eyes... FYI. But they have gorgeous little circles in their eyes. Like a rainbow, imagine blue, teal, orange! It hurts so bad kid. We are filled with emotions.
Sometimes just giving them a reality check helps immensely
Thank you for your help and your willingness to share
Great job!!! It is vids like this that help reduce the stigma.
Much strength and love to you and everyone. 👍❤
2:37 I did know that I had Schizophrenia, before I was diagnosed but it took 4 years to convince my parents that I had a mental illness. My parents are very religious and they thought I was "possessed" or that I was lying.....I decided to search my symptoms on line and my symptoms were similar to Schizophrenia. I told my parents and of course they did not believe me. They assumed that my mental problem was caused by the music I liked. They thought my " Evil Band " caused me to have this problem. Instead of helping me my Dad would punish me!
But now they are a little more understanding........
I'm so sorry about that! I expect the same would have happened with my parents if I had any mental illness. But, I want you to understand that it's not their fault. Blame their education, not them. They love you too much and were trying to protect you. Of course, demon possession exists. But, demon possessed people want nothing to do with God.

Schizophrenia is spiritual attack i had it and when i accepted Jesus as my savior and repented of sins i rebuked schizophrenia in name of Jesus and voices not only stopped but disappeared. I felt like such burden was lifted off of me and like everything became so much lighter/brighter. I felt happiness, love and peace. You don't have to believe me but seek Jesus for yourself and you'll see, you just have to do it honestly with open heart. This life of ours is in physical realm but spritual is everywhere around us and spritis of darkness are trying to destroy us so we'd miss salvation end end up in hell for eternity. Not believing or believing won't change truth, you have been warned seek Jesus while there's still time because no one is promised another day or even hour of life and eternity in hell is too high price to pay
@@standingfortruth4043 Believing vould have helped you because believing has the power to heal. However, you would give medicine to a sick individual. Of course believing can help them, but they might need medical help.
@@standingfortruth4043 Religion actually makes people with schizophrenia, have worst thoughts! There are usually lots of people with schizophrenia, that have "religious delusions "
@@purity5152 yes hyper religiosity is one kind of symptom. Having a sound knowledge of Jesus can help. But since the individual having the illness will have a hard time understanding it. But their loved ones can pray for them. Not everyone who prays get healed. It's all God's grace. 🙏
Love is the answer to a lot of questions too!
You are super brave and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, understanding and awareness.
Thank you for this video Lauren. I found it really helpful, particularly about ageing with the illness and has given me more hope. I have lived with schizoaffective disorder for 28 years now. Much love 💕
Suźanne Alsop,can you tell me,which medicine you was taking with this illness?
You're awesome and an inspiration. Keep up the great work
I love the balanced approach. "In my experience, this is what I believe and this is why. Here is what the studies say." I just love that!
Nice to know that the condition gets better as you age. Great information.

I've had experience with this too as a teen. I was tormented and probably would have been diagnosed as schizophrenic but a bunch of Christians prayed over me and I was ok. Not a coincidence. Jesus is real.
I have no friends and I don’t know why because I’m a very gentle man. My mom and my dad both have schizophrenia, but I was diagnosed with bipolar in 1995. Now that I’m older and wiser I believe that I have paranoid schizophrenia.
Thankyou for sharing all this information about us.
You’re videos are so helpful you don’t even understand🙏🏾
Hi Lauren! Great video!!! Could you please have a video on how to encourage an adult to get treatment of mental health illness?
Thank U. I have Bipolar 1 disorder. But your channel is helping me about Delusions, being in a Psychotic stage & other symptoms that we may share.I feel that Experience is the best teacher but a lot of web sights R people while they R not stable. U R doing a wonderful job. The other Web Sight I find very helpful is called Polar Warriors . It is for people with Bipolar by a man who has Bipolar 1 & like U only makes his videos while he is Stable. I highly recommend your videos and also his. Again thank U. Your videos R Very Helpful !
Why do I love your voice so much?!?!
The original leader of Pink Floyd Sid Barret had 2 leave the group because of schizophrenia brought on by way to much LSD.in the 60s.
Passed away a couple of years ago R.I.P. Sid.☮

Alcohol and drugs (including pharmaceuticals) create holes in your biofield aka aura; which in turn allow other lower inter-dimensional beings to affect you in ways such as these. It’s best to avoid. Have you ever wondered why alcohol is also called 🍷 “spirits”? Well, now you know! .
@@summermucha5207 It's called spirits, because it is the spirit of the fruit or grain.
Esoteric is bullshit.
@@magischepflanzen758 agreed
Its demonic attack ask for help in living church and you will be deivered of your demon Jesus Crist is the only ultimate cure. And tnak God that are some non ignorant people around the air is lighter to breathe

Love this so much.
Smart girl .. thank you for sharing.
Hi Lauren! Great video!!! May i suggest you something? I'm from Brazil, and i believe that there are persons from other countries here too. Could you tell us how the government in your country treats persons living with schizophrenia? I mean, the public policies concerning medication, hospitalization, legal rights, etc... Does the state provide everything? I am asking you this because im my country things are pretty different, you know. They give us medication for free, but just a small range of
antipsychotics, and the way they treat persons who can't afford a proper treatment (poorest people) it's not fair. There is a public support, but it's not enough. I believe that things like that happen in other countries as well, and it would be great if you talk a little bit about your experience. Maybe it could sensitize some politicians and health system agents. Thank you so much, you're doing a great job!
You are so eloquent!!!
She's impeccable at communication!
great video... also I'm pretty sure Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd had Schizophrenia, very interesting story and possibly linked to his LSD usage. I do think there is some sort of correlation there whether it's the age people typically would use LSD and the age where symptoms would be diagnosed or more of a direct link I don't know but is interesting to me. My good friends brother was diagnosed with Schizophrenia and it was noticed and "blamed" on his LSD use but that's just anecdotal, anyway I did spend a lot of time with him and really got to understand what the illness was and how unpredictable it can be. Really appreciate you being so forthcoming with this information even though I'm sure it can't be easy.
I love your videos you’re such an intelligent girl thanks for sharing I too have schizophrenia
Dobro je sto je pokrenut ovaj kanal.
Good job
The experts reportedly ruled out schizophrenia, because van Gogh suffered from short psychotic episodes, which he reflected upon in his letters afterward. “He has repeated episodes of psychosis but recovered completely in between,” medical ethics professor Arko Oderwald told the Telegraph
Does anyone have similar experiences like me with fantasy life? My friend whom I know and had schizophrenia she was very into a fantasy world, wrote poems and stuff. Which is expressive and sensitive for sure. But even with the slightest alert of someone getting close to her she went very withdrawn. She had a very active fantasy life, but hard to "touch" in reality. I got along with her, constantly fluctuating between safety and intimacy. The latter was really hard for her. Of course, it made me think what am I have to do with the same things in me: boundaries and intimacy. But It was hard lessons after all. And from my experience people with schizophrenia are usually very withdrawn and getting closer is an art, but she especially had a strong fantasy life which was artistic inspiration for her BUT as well lacked the reality checking of it and real close connections. Does anyone had same experiences with withdrawing, dismissing, going into a fantasy shell and hardship with genuine human connections?
I'm just listening here. It sounds like hallucinations are a factor, and believing one's hallucinations, but lots of "normal" people engage in fantasy hobbies by choice. I would imagine being withdrawn and depressed is more about inner shame & sadness, maybe about the mental condition or maybe internalized shame from other childhood experiences .. which is possible to overcome. It's possible to interrogate one's own shame, learn how to heal it with inner love, learn to let it go, then getting better over time. In other words, being happy and becoming relatively outgoing when symptoms are low or gone and stimulus of people isn't a threat.
that sounds kind of similar to schizoid personality disorder. there is a link between the two, maybe not for all cases but for some. the divided self is a book that kind of talks about it.
Syd Barrett of the Pink Floyd most likely had schizophrenia according to wiki.
I have schizophrenia and I feel powerful
Thanks for your openness.
1. Agnosignosia is horrible for family members.
2. More psychotic episodes does mean less recovery. My issue is psychotic episodes increases risks of other deterioration ...memory, feelings, paranoia. Dementia especially.
3. Loving another means handling ones schizo.
4. Mother 9.3%, dad 7.3% heritability. Ask family.
5. No tests for it? Great. V annoyed.
Why not talk about schizophrenia impacting other mental health conditions. Such as...depressed kids?
6. How to accept their illness if they don't? Put you first.
7. Gene tests don't work to predict. Gaah.
8. Dopamine is impacted. Loss of grey matter.
Big questions...how can a schizo self talk to reality?
Thank you , currently in crisis at age 42 been diagnosed since 18 haven't felt like this in ages but it's not that bad just draining so just staring into space and wondered does schizophrenia get worse with age ? Hence why I'm listening to your podcast . Thanks again xx
I also have Schzioaffective Disorder-Bi Polar Type. Thank you for sharing some light on Schizophrenia and Schzioaffective Disorder.

Watching videos about schizophrenia being a schizaprenic can be more than a little stressful
Wow, what an amazing person.
thank you
Your videos are helpful. Can you address the fatigue one feels after a breakdown. It might be part of the disease. I don't seem to have the energy I had before the breakdown. Also, Have you had any trouble staying organized after a breakdown? It comes out like laziness but it might also be linked to fatigue. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing. I'm writing a schizophrenic character into my book and want to be as accurate as possible. I do have some questions, and if someone can answer that would be awesome:
1.) Can hallucinations be strong enough to make a person mistake someone for someone else? i.e can you talk to someone but think they're someone else?
2.) Are hallucinations constant (day to day) or more like episodes, where they happen once a week/month?
3.) Can you see a constant type hallucination, as in an 'imaginary friend' (for lack of a better term) like a person, pet, or object that just doesn't go away?
4.) How difficult is it to discern what's real and what's fake, and have you ever thought you talked to someone or did something to find out that you did not?
5.) Can you hallucination to the point of thinking you are somewhere else i.e you felt you were outside despite being at home?
Sorry if these are very specific and sound weird...
I have schizophrenia and my love doesn’t come out as much as I’d like sometimes the darkness blocks my love I don’t know what to do I’ve tried healing all my childhood wounds and trauma but I still lack love and it makes me sad bcus I want to spread love
The love u have is blocked by the demons that are possessing you you need deliverance of them dude -Emmanuel tv- channel has the details
@@seven7upndown241 that was soooo incredibly rude! Go to another channel n bother people with your religious nonsense
ThrivingPowerTLP that moron that commented on your comment is an asshole! I’m not dx’d although I’ve always struggled with the love navigation. It’s all or nothing. At least you are aware that you feel this way 😉
@@ladystrange4769 nonsence? u havent witnessed exorcism and havent experienced spiriual attacks, only one who knows is the one who lived in fear of that.

@@seven7upndown241 you have zero knowledge of the human condition whatsoever!

Hi, veryvinformative video,
U answers very comprehensively,
I hav a question, is schizoprenics child can be diagnosed at early teen ages, n whats the symptoms in him to be diagnosed so
You guys are great! I'm in a very similar situation like Lauren i have schizophrenia now for 16 years. I have a wife, 1 girl 2 years old and teenager 16 years old(they both are biological my kidz). I can remember I had the same fears as Lauren regarding hereditary. But I have moved past that now. I'm lucky that I'm not alone like many others with the illness. I could go on and on.
How did you moved forward? What was helpful for you?
You need God my man everyone need God Jesus Crist is the ultimate cure for ur problem and its spiritual attack, science has no cure and still ignorantly explains like some wise man but is stupid
-Emmanuel tv- has the details check it
goodnightmoonoo Time, Knowledge, Experience, Love, Patience, Brave and a personal faith in something bigger than me(Source/God)
Seven7up n down 🙏🙂🙏
I really like that you pointed out the stereotype of Schizophrenics being geniuses. The same goes for Autistics. There is a large misconception that all Autistics are Savants, I believe based on Rain Man and Albert Einstein being said to be autistic. Yes some are. But it's also common to have average intelligence.
In England people like me with schizophrenia don’t like to be called a schizophrenic or schizophrenics because we are more than an illness label!
I think that’s a you thing. Not an England thing.
Well this is video on mental illness if you have questions you kinda have to disclose it
Hi Lauren , I just find yur Channel interesting. I wanna know more about Schizophrenia and devote a part of my life to investigate more about it to help my sister. There is also other ways to keep in touch with you? Tnx
You are so real.
About the geniuses part with Skitzophrenia, I'm a severe skitzoeffective man. I also have NVLD and as a child specialist thought that I was mentally challenged. But I have an IQ between 275 and 300. My psychiatrist told me that I should be famous for my IQ. But I'm not egotistical or arrogant at all. I'm not a math genius but I could understand higher mathematics in school and college. I also earned a Bachelor's degree in psychiatry and 3 master's degrees in 3 years of college. All suma cume laude. I've dealt with my conditions since I had my first of 3 psychotic breakdowns at 11 years old. While I'm not famous for my IQ, I've won numerous excellence awards in art and in my school's and college's academic performance. I've had my illness and DID and c-PTSD and more many conditions. And had many lost years to my illnesses and suffered from an extremely abusive family and toxic siblings and finally after my third break I moved out on my own. I got into psychotherapy in my 20s and have improved greatly!! I Still need my mom and dad to help care for me. But now my 2 adopted sons are helping care for me now. I'm really limited by my conditions and I've been on every medication there is for skitzoeffective disorder. Now after 20 years of intense illness and my DID caused me much trouble and suffering. My old Dr put me on Invega medications and injections at the highest dosage there is, I'm stabilizing. I had a really bad Dr for about 2 years and he took me off all but 2 meds and I had a serious relapse into deep psychosis. I had to move in with my mom and my family lovingly took care of me for about a year. Moreover, during that time I never missed rent and always paid my bills and took care of my finances and dealt with a break in my apartment and took care of my insurance, and did Everything needed during the last 3 years. all bcz my genius ability helped subconsciously too. Take care of myself by paying my bills and dealing with my break-in while I was away from my home living part-time in my parent's home. I've always believed in “I think therefore I am” and as best I can, I take care of myself and always have everything I need to survive. The genius in me helps me with my psychosis a great deal.
I was diagnosed with shizoeffective disorder at 17 noticed earlier stages at a young age in high school was hospitalized long term for a portion of high school times although by the time I reached my mid 20s I started understanding how it effects me and with the advancement of better medicine I am at the age in my early 50s managing my symptoms with medication and a psychiatrist and a doctor but the effects or less these days although some days can still be a struggle.
Wow bless you. I’m 25 & something triggered it to the point where I’m super paranoid they’re thinking I have schizophrenia this sucks & it’s scary
I’m 42 and I’ve always had bipolar, but now that I’m older and take my meds, usually, I think I have paranoid schizophrenia.
I think I have paranoid schizophrenia too. Haven’t been diagnosed yet but it’ll take 5 more months to be diagnosed. Omg it’s so scary
Spiritual Cat I wish you the best
I am 32, schizophrenia affected me when I was 19.As a result,my life is turned into living hell.You cannot simply explain in words,about the pain& suffering,this disorder will bring to you.According to me,instead of living with this disorder,it is better to die.Truly,Cursed are those whom this schizophrenia disorder affects.
Yep how do you cope
I’d like to see a video of you trying to make sense of v2k, electromagnetic energy harassment, gangstalking, the Frey effect, etc. Even if you call them “delusions”, what were your beliefs when under a “psychotic episode”? Do you TRULY believe you’re not being attacked by secretive technology? Do you ever think about it? Have you experienced “tinnitus” while having “schizophrenia”? What about muscle spasms that are accompanied by voices? Do you sometimes believe you are pushing a false agenda? That they allow you to publish this stuff because it takes the focus off of their technology?
Famous people diagnosed with schizophrenia/schizoaffective (bipolar manic depressive). Nina Simone, Sinead O Conner, Jimi Hendrix, Daniel Johnston, David Helfgott, Kurt Kobain, Will Self, Kanye West.
Skip Spence of the 60s San Francisco band Moby Grape, had to leave the band because of schizophrenia brought on by 2 much LSD use.
Passed away a couple years ago.
R.I.P. Skip.☮
My favorite. Mary Todd Lincoln.
One of the problems with famous people these days have psychotic symptoms because of drug abuse. Not necessarily schizophrenia.
You are so brave and beautiful ❤️ stay strong
Michael O’Hare of Babylon 5. He allowed its discussion after he passed. That’s why he only started in one season but came back for special events.
Nina Simon, theres a movie about her mental illness, a great pianist musician.
Lauren Kennedy is a famous person with schizophrenia and my favorite is Alvin Aldridge. He was a football player for the Green Bay packers. I think that Vincent Van Gogh had bipolar disorder.
Daniel Johnston imo is one of the most influential artist/musician with BP 1 and schizophrenia
*was :(
You took the words right out of my mouth
I’ve read the loss of mass of the brain’s grey matter could possibly be caused by antipsychotic medication. It that is true though, it is a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. Although I know the risks, I will still take my meds, because facing untreated schizophrenia again, is not something I ever want to do!
Exercise helps tremendously from my experience. Medication still seems like a better alternative to marijuana (good for art appreciation IMO), etc., but I don't have all of the facts.
They get us young don't they, nice book.
I'm on clozapine 600 mlg it's the best medication I have been on in 13 years I take them before bed have no side effects I sleep through them 😱😁😱
Girl, don't make me cry for you.
Daniel Johnston who recently passed away suffered bouts of psychosis. I do not know if he was actually schizophrenic but just like Brian Wilson he started getting in trouble after a bad LSD trip.
Kerouac didn't have schizophrenia, he just had a discharge paper from the navy that said schizoid but that was a Freudian era where they just threw around pathological diagnoses often for people they didn't like.
I'm an olimpic Athlete year 2000 relay torch run Riverina and I have shizpheffective disorder
i just got diagnosed today and I was greatly afraid it's going to get worse as a I get older.
before starting an antipsychotic i didn't realize how disorganized my thinking was. i thought i was fine. it's like night and day though.
easier said and done :( I have been trying to be there for my beloved son but his respond is always the same.... he believes that this is a part of the plot and I am cooperating with cia to attack him :(
he also is strongly against any medication! his mother has to take his blood pressure pills in hiding or he would have a violent psychosis.... I have come to conclusion that the patient acceptance of the illness and cooperation is the only hope for recovery and treatment by force ultimately would not work and may make things even more difficult!
how can I gain his trust?
any success story on that ?❤
My husband has schizophrenia. I'm just learning all about it. I do have to add my family got him help after doing that my family hasn't been very supportive of me actually being with him.. my father has pretty much told me he only going get worse not better its going to be hell for you. My husaband is taking the medication but feels like doesn't have schizophrenia that he is fine. I have to say his real father wasn't very good man in jail he also had schizophrenia. I'm separated from my husband for now until gets more help.
Some say HBOT (Hyper barionic oxygen) treatments might help some people and it's a matter of research now. I'm looking into this for a relative and wondered what you thought?
Does it work
Wow. I know someone in his 30s who has it. Does this mean maybe in his 40s he might be able to handle a job? He definately cannot handle a job or school or marriage or being a dad now. I hope he might be able to do more things in time. We don't mind taking care of him at all but it would be nice if he could do more things on his own.
I have had symptoms for a while , and it’s pretty rough :/. I’m scared of going and finding out I have it even though I have been having symptoms for a year I would say but it’s been on and off and has gotten worse this month.
I don't know if my father has something like this. I know that he is not hallucinating, but the last months before my parents were divorced were really... Yeah stressfull
As a schizophrenic that has been doctor tested as at least a genius (I was angry and not trying, I quit the test 3/4ths the way through with the doctor writing in his notes that I can get I said "This is unproductive", my average if I had finished the tests is 158.2 with the limit being 162 and Einstein/Hawking being estimated at the limit). I think "A Beautiful Mind" illustrated schizophrenics fascination with connections, called apophenia, which is my work in its entirety. To sum up what I believe is a new form of logic, briefly: No quantum computer now is designed to use entanglement, and I think i have come up with a new form of logic that can be applied only using entanglement; dynamic connections, or dynamic geometric logic, or logic through the changing shape of geometry, like a truth table that the truths change and is essentially functional programming, and is logic without information.
I came up with a model for a new type of computer based only on dynamic connections, from playing a game, Counter-Strike (a Half-Life mod) when it was in its original beta phase. The system was very poorly designed, like the accuracy system for the weapons was designed that if you slow down to a walk, your guns were more accurate, but they set the parameters up so that it triggered this extra accuracy just going the slightest speed under a full run. Using +moveup which was meant for swimming in the scripting language, which is the only "language" I used, you could get half way between a run and a walk for movement speed and get the accuracy of a walk and the silence of it, with movement sound being another similar flaw they made in the game. That combined with scripting firing of the gun so it briefly made you do +moveup before actually firing the gun and turning it off immediately after firing the gun effectively gave you a more accurate gun at a running speed. There were many holes in the original CS system, I repeatedly told them about them on their message board, getting repeatedly banned. I remind you: I only used the extremely simplistic scripting language built into the game, so I was exploiting and not cheating, even though in effect it was cheating. CS 1.6 should have been CS 2.0 because they made major changes to the engine due to what I was spreading around. At least one of the hacks that I kept to myself and did not put into my script still exist in the current CS system as far as I know. It was basic to the Quakeworld original engine Half-Life is based on. The script that is part of my work, for CS 1.6, has a fully automated taunt system for giving people a hard time. I built a randomizer and relational database that sometimes spits out a taunt based on the weapon or weapon type you are using just before your gun is actually fired when you fire, only using the one command, alias. Alias just lets you create or reassign a command to an indicated string of commands, and nothing else - basically, I can name (better fit than name: emulate) that tune in one note; with dynamic connections. I did not set out to do this, it just happened. I originally wanted a script to quickly buy weapons, and it developed from there. I have kept every beta and final released versions of the script from beginning to end, to show how it developed.
I propose a "Dynamic Stateless Computer" that operates on "Logic Geometry" based only on connections, or links, or pointers - a much more simple computer than the three basic Boolean logic gates operating on mathematical binary bits that is every computer out there. The shape is the logic and the logic is the shape.
Quantum mechanics is beyond me, but if this only needs connections, ie a quantum entanglement (short video on entanglement: ua-cam.com/video/z1GCnycbMeA/v-deo.html ), can we build a computer that operates and does its entire run instantly? Like I said, all I need is dynamic connections to perform logic... no need for information... the changing shape is the logic. I understand some of quantum computers is supposedly instant, but sorting with Grover's Algorithm takes time.
You are best off going to Github and seeing online without downloading the paper and models. When someone looked at my calculators, they accused me of: "You're not doing math! You're emulating math!" Look at the simple calculator first, it only does addition and subtraction. Then look at the complex calculator that does multiplication and division. As you well know, if I can do those things, I can do anything mathematically. In the main model I created if-thens, complex do-whiles, a randomizer and a relational database.

Through the exercise of the most complex do-while I asked a question related to that, and the answer uses the ancient Chinese/Pascal's Triangle (which millions have looked at over thousands of years) in a new way: mathhelpforum.com/threads/combination-lock.17147/ I basically had to count nothing as something to count, as in you can have different items to count the permutations of but a default state of no item is possible for each, some or all to count in the permutations, and it doesn't seem anyone else in history was able to use the really basic mathematical concept of the Triangle in that way for the solution. It is similar to how hats can be arranged on pegs question of how many permutations you can have that is commonly associated with Pascal's Triangle, but they did not count the empty pegs as part of the permutations that they can have. The technique of the implementation is a little interesting, with it being able to reach any of the 209 possible permutations of 4 wheels with 4 numbers (don't know if I should count 0, it is special in this case - if you do count 0, it is 5 numbers) in 4 keystrokes or less - it's how it scales that is the curiosity, where if I had 18 slots and 18 unique items to form a permutation it would have almost 3x10 to the 18th power or 2,968,971,264,021,448,999 possible permutations, each reachable within 18 keystrokes or less.
I don't have any idea as to how this would be physically built - none of the aspects of it, except for the dynamic geometric logic that I also do not have any clue if it really is what I ask above. I just can do these things I demonstrate and in my extensive almost 50 years of digital computer experience I have not seen anything exactly like it.
Maybe you wonder about my computer experience? I have always been fascinated by computers, starting in 1972 using a prototype Cogar 4 that my dad got his hands on, when I was 3. By the time I was 5, Singer wanted to use me in a commercial to sell the computer, because if a 5 yo could start it, load the OS and then load games, that proved anyone could. My first mentor helped develop ethernet after working for my father, and allowed me to hold one of the first breadboard ethernet cards developed when I was 10 telling me, "This is the future." My first real program (programming since at least 5 if you count the Cogar ASM I had to type to get to the OS and games) was in BASIC when I was 11 that I learned from a manual without anything more than a small example for each command, written with pencil on paper; a rudimentary AI demonstration called "Animals". Second program I made I had another computer (we had moved and left the one at my dads company behind when he sold it) and was a dot bouncing around the screen. Third program, with a 12 year old's understanding of math, I attempted to do 3D. I first professionally programmed in 1982, started building computers and networks for a small computer company in 1986 owned by my second mentor, Peter De Blanc who lead ICANN for a period, was an official beta tester and developer for OS/2 2.0 and developed a device driver for it for the extremely complex Truevision Targa+ 64 video editing board (pic: imgur.com/a/hMe21Qe ) directly flipping bits on it in 1991. The code for the model for the dynamic stateless computer is about 640 lines and took me 6 months to complete, with the code for the Targa+ device driver being over 4200 lines and took me one 20 hour sitting that compiled and ran the first time that I have 3 witnesses for. That's almost 30 years ago. My experience has only gone up from there. This dynamic geometric logic is something I found, that I have never seen anything like even searching for it on the Internet for the past 20 years. I think this is basic to everything and is a new science, as it only operates on one concept - dynamic connections.
I am looking for help explaining this and turning the old Counter-Strike 1.6 script into a package for Counter-Strike:Global Offensive, the latest version. I am not talking about converting the code, it works - I just need help with the current packaging for CS:GO. Any input would be great, thank you. johnphantom@hotmail.com (this was my first email address that I got in 1996 BEFORE Microsoft bought them so if you send an email there please make sure you add me to your address book, as this email addy is marked as spam all the time.)
@@jsmith9330 I think I am going to attempt to patent these words: My Theory of Everything: computable logic that arises from how connections are made and/or broken over time. The only way I can describe it: with dynamic connections, or dynamic geometric logic, or logic through the changing shape of geometry, like a truth table that the truths change and is essentially functional programming, but is computational logic without mathematics where the changing shape is the only information. That is it. The complete description of what it does. I have working models that do many different sophisticated things, including emulating math. The models are on top of a digital computer of course, but the entirety of the logic is performed by one command that allows you to create or rewrite a command to a string of commands, and nothing else.
Do you have any knowledge of or experience with a person who has schizophrenia of some sort but also is diagnosed with psychopathy, and how those two conditions may interact?
A geneticist told us if your uncle or aunt has it, the child has a 5% chance of having it.

I actually have aspergers And I can relate to some of the stuff in your videos
I also have Aspergers syndrome. Even though I guess it's a "light" one. What I mean by that is that if you met me and spent like 1 hour with me and you know what Aspergers is then you would never have thought I would have it. But if you live with me you would se that I have some symptoms.

Can the person who live with schizophrenia stop taking medication?
Lauren, Did you experience major trauma in your life before the onset of your symptoms? Just curious and asking. I work in the field.
My son was diagnosed. He had major trauma before onset.
