Just so you know, Autism is a developmental disorder, not a mental illness. I have high functioning autism, while also having anxiety and depression. Unfortunately depression is becoming more and more common in people with autism.
@@helixxia9320 Disorder is an old term that was thought to affect just the mind. The term illness is more favored nowadays because it considers a holistic approach that concerns the mind's interaction with the body and the environment. Plus, it's a "friendlier" way of describing a condition.
@@toximan2008 yes that is what i have heard too but seems this person doesnt see it that way. they prefer the word disorder over illness, so i'm confused. i have used both disorder and illness interchangeably if someone is asking about my adhd or ocd because i dont mind either word, but now that im trying to search around on what is most used it looks like disorder is the word that is used most when im looking at mental health stuff and the dsm-5, the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders. and like 90% of sites i went into used disorder in the title and on only one site i saw it written as the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental illnesses. i dont think it is wrong to call autism and adhd for either illness/disorder but seems actually that disorder is most used and not illness so i was surprised
@toximan2008 Please don't spread misinformation. Autism is a nuerodevelopmental disorder, meaning that literally our neurons are ordered differently than the rest of the population. It's not temporary and there isn't a cure because autism is not a chemical imbalance but literally a different way in which neurons develop, making it part of the person. That's why it's not an illness and is a disorder.
it can be so hard to explain agoraphobia because how so many shows portrayed it. Im not afraid of the outside, im afraid of encountering a situation where conflict, stress, or any unease could happen. Its so nice hearing someone explain it NOT as a fear of leaving the house.
I dealt with this for MANY years , it got so bad at one point all I would do was literally rot in my bed and watch everyone else grow and have a life , years later I have my own apartment , job and a beautiful life and I no longer have that fear of everything and anything anymore that INTENSE dread is gone , I have confidence and can handle things , yes I still have severe anxiety but not ANYWHERE near how bad it was , it gets better ❤
I fucking cried the first time I heard the real definition of agoraphobia. I always assumed I was borderline bc I could go outside, but seeing the definition and realizing my fear fit perfectly was demoralizing
I get physically ill from situations others would be upset over for maybe half an hour, and three days later I'm in bed unable to do anything from how it stresses out my body. But just get over it sure
@@bellamango6708 Relate ;; Sometimes i really hate how long things stick around. I would love to just let it go but idk it just wants to sit there and ignoring it just makes it stay longer.
social anxiety and other anxiety disorders are so overlooked. people think social anxiety is just a small fear of talking and being judged but its not that. i feel physically ill when thinking of holding a speech or being the center of attention in a social setting
anxiety disorders as a whole are truly trivialized by society. they're seen as "mental illness lite" when that isn't the case at all. they can be extremely disabling to the point of being housebound. it truly isn't what people think it is.
The show, Bocchi The Rock amazingly portrays this disorder. The main character loaths her loneliness and wants to make friends and be accepted & validated. reply if you have watched it.
@@dreadpiratelenny1348 i had the same issue with vomiting. still happens sometimes but now i know how to prepare. the biggest step for me was just accepting that i was going to throw up. a big part of the problem with nausea/anxiety is fighting it. if you just accept that it's happening, you're already half way done, and hopefully will end up not throwing up. canned sliced pears also really help with nausea. i hope this helps.
As someone with OCD you nailed it. Thank you for bringing awareness in an accurate way. Its not “being a neat freak” its more like daily chronic hell of unwanted thoughts/feelings and unstoppable urges to do something to get rid of them. If anyone reading this has or knows someone with ocd, please start exposure and response prevention therapy. Its what ocd specialists use to treat ocd and it saved my life. I really mean it and wish you all the very best.
im really confused if I actually suffer from OCD or not, I’ve always had unwanted thoughts since I was a child ( around age 7-8 ) and I’m also big perfectionist, and can’t stand when things are mess. and it got pretty intense in 2021, I was so anxious and hopeless every day, I had harm ocd, order ocd, existential OCD, my psychiatrist never diagnosed it and never really cared about it, but he said I have compulsive and obsessive behaviours, but since I’ve started taking antidepressants, I feel like the thoughts are almost completely gone? I also have depression, and my meds don’t help me with that, but are pretty helpful to the obsessive thoughts, do you think I might actually have it?
@@n2lw theres a high chance you do. Odds are if you’re seriously questioning it and are suffering then you probably do. I recommend you find an ocd specialist or an anxiety disorder specialized therapist and they can give you a proper diagnosis. Im wishing you the best of luck this shit sucks
@@n2lwJust wanted to say that i got diagnosed a week ago and my psychiatrist prescribed me antidepressants and they do kind of help with my obsessive thoughts so there is a high probability that you do indeed have ocd if they do help.
My biggest L was thinking I didn’t have OCD anymore before realising it’s because I take SSRIs 🫠 it’s helped a lot but even with a decently high dose I still have urges sometimes. I hate how media portrays it.
As a guy with BPD, it was a breath of fresh air to hear the way you discuss it. This sickness is such an unreal disorder to deal with for everyone involved and usually people stigmatize us as if we are evil and inherently cruel. It’s always so deeply appreciated to hear someone talk about it in a way that’s not demonizing. so thank you ❤
Hey, peoples. Just letting you know that if you ever feel like you're alone, you aren't. There are people out there who knows what it feels like to feel extremely hopeless, but there are people willing to help. You are loved and appreciated.
My adult son has schizophrenia. It came on in the middle of his senior year of high school. He almost didn't graduate but after getting out of the hospital the first time, he was able to finish his credits online before another episode. It's been 4 years, multiple hospital stays, dozens of meds, side effects he's having trouble tolerating (akathisia), but he's finally accepted he is schizophrenic and needs meds. He's been participating in his care after this last hospital stay where they gave him the 3 month haldol shot via court order as he was aggressive and disruptive in the hospital. Haldol has been so tough on him (it did help his psychotic symptoms) but he's finally realized he needs meds. He's working with his doctor on using seroquel as the haldol leaves his system. I worry about him every single day but all I can do is be there and help him through as best I can. But having a loved one with schizophrenia is awful and I'm sure it's nothing compared to being the one with schizophrenia.
as someone who is like your son, please pay mind to changes in behaviors or moods in him. medications will change someone completely. for better or worse. i’ve been on seroquel personally, and don’t remember the many many months i was even on the prescription. and the akathisia from different antipsychotics omg it ruined my life. the longer you suffer the side effect the more irritable you will become even if deep down you don’t want to. i wish truly the best and nothing but healing for you and him. i’m sure your love and support means a lot to him. stay strong💓🪽
OCD is probably the scariest thing I've ever went through. You are constantly arguing with your own mind until you become so mentally exhausted that forming thoughts becomes difficult and you feel completely numb. Eventually, you'll feel like a walking corpse. I didn't get on medication until after it caused irreversible trauma to my brain. Now the medication works but it only temporarily blocks it. Without it, I will return to the same state of mind
when your on the medication do u still get some intrusive thoughts or like compulsions , i’m not on medication but i had really bad ocd when i was 9 and it has gotten so much better but i still have random moments where i have to blink a certain amount of times or reread stuff till it feels right and other stuff
Fortunately for me I only had a brief episode of intrusive thoughts. It's still there, deep within, scares me sometimes, but I'm pretty great at handling it at this point. I hope you're doing well in your journey.
As someone was OCD I can speak on this, my ocd put intrusive thoughts into my head, there's some moments with peace, but most is a living nightmare. My ocd will put things in my mind that are not true and I will argue with myself until I resolve or I get to worn out and my mind is exhausted at that point. The ocd will come up almost all the time it's like having a thought that keeps appearing. It's NOT just a cleaning thing.
I sincerely appreciate this reminder. It's really hard to keep the spirit up, when it feels like everything is just towering up on you. Psychiatric problems still have a great stigma, and often makes others think that you're just lazy, rude or the likes, and that sure doesn't help. Thanks for the empathy. 😌
Thank you so much for the encouragement. Hang in there, yourself, and to everyone struggling: please remember that your life *is* worth something, that you absolutely *do* matter, and that the best you can do is enough. Who you are is enough. 💜
@@You-Know-Youre-Right There's no need to fix them, or fix yourself. Simply doing your best to live is the best way to go - trust me, I'm bipolar schizoaffective. I tried to kill myself in 2021, and learned from that how absolutely devastating it is for your loved ones - they feel extreme guilt for not seeing the signs, experience abandonment PTSD, and Jesus, if you have parents alive. I also learned that more people care about us than we realize, and again, I'm a schizoaffective pariah living in a small town in Alaska where I'm terribly judged and ostracized. Suicide may seem like a preferable option - up to 84% of people with schizophrenia and its related disorders attempt it at some point - but it truly, genuinely isn't. Each one of us who dies decreases the diversity of the world, and is a heartbreaking loss. You don't need to be fixed. Just live as best you can. It's all anyone can do. 💜
People with mental illnesses get all the sympathy, but I have never seen someone with a physical illness get that much sympathy. Would you say that about someone who has a physical condition? (Diabetes, heart disease, COPD, etc)
As someone with STPD and who has battled addiction my whole life I wanna thankyou for this informative and great video. I took me a while to realise how bad my life had gotten but my last psychotic episode that lasted 24+ hours showed me I cant live like this. I'm now just over 9 months sober and happier than ever before
I'm glad that anorexia was added to this iceburg. I've suffered with it pretty much my whole life starting from age 10. People dont realize that it's a mental disorder because its seen more physically than mentally. It's hard to deal with from day to day life. I honestly feel ashamed when I explain that I wont eat something because of the anxiety trying new foods gives me. I've been getting better with it, but it's still a daily struggle personally. It's hard to explain the mental aspect because people just think it's just "being a picky eater". But you explained it perfectly
hey, I used to struggle w anorexia for 5 years, had gone through treatment but it gets easier everyday, that I can promise. I know it can be hard to even look at some foods sometimes but you got this! stay strong and I'm proud of you for every bite you take my friend 🙏🏽
exactly! Lots of people forget that it's a mental disorder so they tend to dismiss people who don't 'look' like they have anorexia. there's no rush for recovery, but it is a shame that some people only intervene until they're too far gone.
hey, great video!! I noticed a lot of people mentioned that Autism is not a mental illness, but I wanted to also note that many autistic people don't like being represented by autism speaks. there's a lot of videos and articles out there that go over the various ways autism speaks has caused us harm.
As someone who's been struggling with major depressive disorder for 20 years, who's been on the edge of suicide many times and who has staid at mental health hospitals many times, also as someone who's been prescribed pretty much every medication on the market and even antipsychotics (despite having no psychotic symptoms), I can say my life has been hell, but I've learned a lot through my journey and I believe I emerge stronger every time I survive a relapse. You always learn a bit about yourself as you struggle. Depression is no joke. Thank you for spreading awareness about mental health. We need to get rid of all mental health stigmata ASAP.

@@marcom238 This is not quite what happened. I'm here and now thanks to the psychiatrists and psychologists who have helped me as well as my family and my close ones.
Thank you so much for this video. I suffer from OCD, ADHD, PTSD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Bipolar Depression. My day to day life for the last 10 years has consisted of feeling like a never ending nightmare. This lead to substance abuse that got to the point of using fentanyl. Two years clean now! I’m only 20, but I’ve just recently gotten the courage to be my own advocate and that’s lead me down a path that so far has been very successful. I can only thank myself and few close family members who have gotten me this far with love, compassion, support and open minded guidance. ❤ So grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given
Congratulations friend. I was young when I started using heroin (18-20y.o) I was sober for 8 years and recently relapsed & these days real heroin doesn’t even exist so I ended up hooked on fent. I’m working on it, and recently started to receive suboxone. I guess what I’m saying is hold on to your sobriety and never think you’ve conquered addiction - it’s very very sneaky and I should’ve kept a better eye on it. Stay safe and blessed! We’ll all make it :)
shame that tiktok 12 year old edgelords have kind of tried to monopolise things like autism and depression. Makes people more sceptical when someone who really has those problems tells them
As someone who suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder, its very hard to keep my relationships and emotions stable. I think you explained it perfectly and didnt come from a place of judgement of stigma which most people do, so thank you for that. And for any other BPDers, people with persnality disorders, or anyone suffering from any mental illness, youre not alone. ❤
I'm glad this guy got the OCD right, i've been suffering from OCD for more than 3 years, and i've also been asked what's up with me and i really find it frustrating that the people from my country (Romania) don't have a lot of documentation on this subject and they always expect me to act differently then i do, in fact i met some people that hadn't heard of it and that straight up didn't know how i was gonna react and in most of the cases after getting to meet me they saw that i am not "such a big deal" as they had previously thought. I'm really glad that people like you get the explanation of the disorder right, and i really hope at a people will be more documented over these types of things, at least the people from schools, normal hostpitals (not the psychiatric ones) and any other institute which is essential for people to interact with
I have borderline and you hit the nail on the head. The emotions are beyond controllable, it’s like having emotions guide you. Very often I have clung to 4 or 5 separate personality aspects that are different from each other. It allows the brain and emotions to calm down, to put everything on survival autopilot.
Went 10+ years without a clue that i have major depressive, OCD, schizophrenia, Generalized Anxiety, social phobia.. it was only after a severe psychotic break that i sought help. Im 36 now, at 30 I found myself hospitalized. Thats only the mental part. Physical disabilities compound the issues.
I’m medically diagnosed with GAD, MDD, and ADHD, though I’m scared that’s not just it. I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until I was 13, so I spend my whole middle school and elementary school experience thinking there was something wrong with me. It’s so crazy how we need to get pushed to the extreme to get help
I'm 36 as well, and was just diagnosed with (bipolar) schizoaffective disorder after experiencing a very similar set of circumstances along a slightly different timeline; I was 34 when manic psychosis pushed me over the edge and landed me in the hospital. I'm sorry if this sounds like armchair psychology, but your combo of major depression and schizophrenia aligns perfectly with a subtype of schizoaffective disorder (which I'm only mentioning because, even if there's a small chance, I thought it could end up being of help to you - if that's irritating, unhelpful, or inappropriate, I genuinely apologize). I was born with a congenital spine defect and disabling light sensitivity. The overload and stress that comes from a combination of mental and physical disability, and the ways they synergize, can be truly brutal (not to mention the sociological b.s. of ableism, general stigma, and the severe misperception of psychosis that runs rampant in our culture). Every circumstance is different, but I empathize as best I can. If it's any comfort, you're not alone. I know it may seem trite or like a cliché, but in the case of rare disorders, simply knowing that there are people in the world who understand - even just a bit - without explanation (because god, is the communication barrier a pain) can genuinely make a difference and help. (as an example: I found out yesterday that a friend of mine also has bipolar SZA, and it was a relief I didn't know I needed)
as someone that is officially diagnosed by a professional with ADHD, one common trend i see is people self diagnosing themselves with ADHD when usually they display a part of a single symptom when they clearly arent truly diagnosed or have the disorder
Its a joke isnt it, as alot of people seem to see it as a trend yet fail to realise that ADHD can come with other illnesses.. I was diagnosed as a child and also suspected with BPD.. we all just want to be normal 😂
autism isn't a mental illness though? it's a neurotype, though it may put you at a higher risk for developing a mental illness due to how autistic people are treated, or other related things like genetics.
I'm someone who has a list of issues that make life hell, many being mental. It's kind of nice to see some here and hearing you talk about them. So many people make them sound like it's the patients fault or we're monsters because we struggle. I can't describe how thankful I am to hear you talk with such empathy and accurate information!
I suffer from a few things on here, but I wanna talk about how great it was to see Cotard’s, Fregoli, and Capgras Syndrome on here. Its really cool to see them represented and spoken about more often.
i have what people call “quiet bpd”, but i’m lucky enough to have been diagnosed and get treatment early in life. i’ve been in treatment for about 9 years, and i deal with it pretty well for someone my age, but it makes relationships and daily life so hard. i often describe BPD as being a “broken mirror”- most people have a mental ‘mirror’ of their sense of self. it might have a few cracks, but they can see their whole self, undistorted, with cohesive values, likes/dislikes, patterns of speech and movement, etc… while i have a mirror shattered into many pieces. each piece shows some part of me, but they are all vastly different and from different “angles”. each shard has a completely different set of core beliefs and values. for someone with a healthy-ish brain, no matter what emotion they feel, they can look in their “mirror” and see the same person. but when i feel any emotion, i can only look at one of those fragments. i forget all the others. this is why i act like a “completely different person” in day to day life, depending on my mood. i can go from acting childish and giddy, making everyone laugh, having positive values, and believing that i’m socially adept and well-liked- and then 30 minutes later, i might not talk to anyone, speak more coldly, believe that the world is a dangerous place, and want to be left alone. it all depends on which part of the broken mirror i’m looking into. i think that, for me, this is a rather good explanation of what some parts of BPD are like. of course everyone has different experiences with this hellish disorder. i’m learning to accept that i have a more variable sense of self than most people, and trying to work on improving all of my separate “selves” rather than chasing the futile pursuit of a singular sense of identity. if you read all this you’re very kind and thank you for taking time to understand some of my experience. you are loved and needed on this earth and i’m glad you’re here
this was an amazing metaphor for it :) thank you, this is really nice to hear someone shares similar experiences to me-- considering it's really hard to find anyone who doesn't demonize bpd
I've been given the diagnosis of BPD after spending the last 13 years of mental health issues. I would really like to know what type of treatments you've found helpful as I feel like have come to a dead end road for help.
@@notenoughyettoomuch i’ve been in treatment for about 10 years- i use a combination of talk therapy, DBT skills, trauma therapies, and time. it is an incredibly difficult diagnosis, and i’m sorry you have to struggle with it too. it requires a lot of effort and patience, but getting better and managing it is possible. i have only recently noticed improvements after 10 years of working on it- don’t give up!
Autism could be at every level of the iceberg. It’s like “I can’t look you in the eyes but otherwise I am a totally typical person” to none verbal violent behavior and such
@@actuallyapomergranate I didn’t even think about that but you are totally correct. Well maybe it “qualifies” as a mental illness the way tomatoes qualify as a fruit. Sure it’s a fruit but you don’t put it in fruit salad. It’s like ASD maybe be classified as a mental illness but you’d never treat it or diagnose it as such
Adding to the PTSD part of the iceberg: I suffer with PTSD. The flashbacks, intrusive memories, nightmares that present extreme fear, and feeling some sort of constant "background" anxiety on a normal basis that keeps you on edge, are certainly part of it, but it's not all of what I experience. After the event, I now have a really hard time with concentration, and keeping focused on anything. Even watching youtube videos is difficult without slipping into my thoughts and only realizing minutes later. I frequently get distracted while trying to do specific tasks, and it's made it difficult to do anything, or enjoy anything. My memory is also really bad. I can barely recall anything that's happened in my day, only fuzzy snippets of the major parts that I have to piece together. And I tend to have conversations that I do not remember even upon reminder. I have a lot of gaps in my memory and it's frustrating. Before everything, my memory and concentration was amazing. And on top of all that, I derealize a lot, to the point my family feels like strangers I have to play along with. A lot of the time I am derealizing to some extent, and feeling happy is difficult. Crying is hard, and when I stop derealizing it's like everything hits me at once and I remember what happened actually happened and I get in a really bad state mentally. When I completely stop derealizing because I am put in a good, comfortable, safe mood, like when my partner comes over, it feels like I suddenly spawned into existence. It's a weird feeling because I will be talking and the feeling of being real hits me. It's made me feel like I'm completely worthless, and there's a lot of stuff I personally don't want to get into. And only recently did I finally find a therapist who will do my counciling. My anxiety medication works, not a whole lot, but it's better than nothing. If I'm being honest, the panicking is worse now than the first month after the event. And the first month is when I was temporarily put on valium, but I got off of it because it made me really tired all day and was making my pain medication not work (I have chronic pain), and I'd go back on it for panic situations if I could even if it made me tired. But anyways, I hope that gives a better perspective to anyone who is curious! I think it's better to hear it come from people who have it and might be able to provide better detail, with accuracy.
I have Borderline Personality Disorder (along PTSD, PDD, and Panic disorder. I also deal with multiple phobias, OCD and body dysmorphia)... It's the result of severe childhood abuse, trauma, and SA... BPD is linked to severe ans persistent trauma that alters the brain chemistry and wiring. According to my therapist and psychologist, there is a push to re-label the disorder as complex-PTSD (c-PTSD). And yes, I do also have Disassociative Disorder, specifically Disassociative Amnesia in partnership with my BPD. As someone with BPD, I reiterate what the narrator has said... please approach us with empathy. We don't want to be this way and most of us are doing real work to do and be better. 💛
@magnispora exactly. My official diagnosis is PTSD. but my psychologist and therapist refer to it as c-PTSD when they speak to me because it's as you described, a constant and prolonged exposure to traumatic events and abuse. Borderline is also caused by prolonged and persistent trauma. Borderline isn't a condition that one is born with. I do hope it does get reclassified. Borderline comes with so many negative stigmas that are almost impossible to shake.
You kept saying “autophilia” during the autophagia section and I just want to point out how VERY different those two are. -phagia means to eat -philia is to “love” if you get my drift. Now if someone was an autophigiaphile… that would be interesting…🤔
Autophigiaphile.... is that like when one person is both feeder and feedee? 😅 Not gunna lie the word does sound like it be the niche-est of niche "tastes" (pun intended lol).
Went through my whole life dealing with GAD, it’s a struggle to live with but I managed. It was after I lost my dad and got nuked financially when I developed a panic disorder. I was having panic attacks a few times a month atleast. It used to frustrate me why society doesn’t talk about panic attacks much and tries to forget they exist. But after my experience with them I get why, but It would be nice to have more folk who understand and are comfortable talking about it. Been taking 50mg sertraline for almost a year now, haven’t had an attack since and I can think clearly again. In a much better place mentally and financially so im thinking about weaning off the Zoloft so I can move on with my life. But it’s good to know that it’s there if my brain decides it wants to torture itself again.
As someone with Autism, ADHD, OCD, Social Anxiety, and Major depression disorder(now it’s way better then last time thankfully) I’m really thankful that you’re covering a sensitive using it as a form of an iceberg and it has brought me a lot of information of many mental health conditions that I might have not heard before despite being chronically online searching mental health related topics, you have definitely earned a new subscriber ❤
RE: PTSD I'm a combat vet. I was diagnosed by a professional with CPTSD at 13 years old due to a rough upbringing. Joined up at 30. While I genuinely appreciate the picture of the sad soldier, let's remember that PTSD can come from anything, at any time, for anyone. One doesn't need to have been to a specified place at a specified time to have their world rocked. Please have a wonderful day & let's normalize therapy!
@@Acro_YT 13, in 1988. His name was David and he stared wildly at the blinking light on his office phone every time it rang. Like, he would hone in on the light flashing as if he were deciphering Morse code nuclear missile launch information for the duration of it ringing, then nonchalantly snap back to me as of nothing had happened. Next, was an actual psychiatrist, who fell asleep on me a few times and blamed it on being hungry.
When I was younger, I somewhat struggled with Truman syndrome for years after seeing the movie. I didn’t think I was on a TV show, but I thought there were hidden cameras everywhere. For context, I was also religious at that time so I thought God was watching my every move and monitoring my thoughts. Obviously religion wasn’t for me and my silly brain. With most people it gives them comfort, but for me it just caused me constant paranoia and guilt. Along with leaving religion, I also grew out of the Truman delusions. Funny enough, I’m holding a device that has a camera facing me at this very moment, apps are constantly tracking our data, and pretty much every public space has cameras. However, it doesn’t bother me like it would have when I was younger.
Same!!! Except for me, this was around the ages of 6-10 years old and it happened in the 80’s well before the Truman show ever existed and before I was aware of reality shows. It eventually just faded out but to this day I absolutely maintain the delusion that pictures can see me and are aware of everything I’m doing. I don’t have any pictures on display, I’m uncomfortable and self conscious around posters of people or books/movie cases where people are looking at me. I can’t even engage in sexual activity in front of pictures of people who are looking at the camera because I feel like they’re watching me and completely aware of my activities.
As someone with schizoid personality disorder I have to thank you for skipping over it, we dont like attention but maybe it would be nice to be understood
schizophrenia is truly the worst. my grandma had schizophrenia, and leading up to her eventual su**ide, she was really losing herself. before the episode that led to us losing her, she was kind and gentle. she was almost like a parent to me, but that quickly changed when her symptoms began to worsen. we would have to be near silent in the house (she lived below us) because she would get extremely angry and yell if it was too loud. she became more short-tempered and in the last week of her life, she had a fit where she was trying to hurt herself and other members of my family out of paranoia and distrust. my mom called mental health people but they said they couldnt do anything about it because she hadnt actually hurt anyone. the next week she died. her aunt actually had schizophrenia as well and spent her entire life in a psychiatric hospital, so we never met her. that’s my story with schizophrenia. truly one of the most heartbreaking illnesses out there.
@@SuperDuperSeb I usually don't comment in UA-cam videos but I have had to think about how asshole you and your comment is. I wish someday you understand how serious and painful can schizophrenia be, instead of taunting people who suffered from it.
I dont have schizophrenia but I do suffer from .. hallucinations? paranoia? psychosis? not sure what to call it but the worst examples I have of these are when the image of a man suddenly flashed into my head and I was convinced someone called the bruiser was going to come beat me up (I had never heard the name before, still haven’t, never seen the man before), heard breathing and immediately panicked and had to grip my hair and cry because I was terrified, seen bugs in the corner of my eyes, felt like my thighs should be split open (still do..) if this is anything near what schizophrenic people feel like I can assure you this is actually terrifying, I can’t enjoy anything I used to (horror, mainly analog horror) and I’m scared to do anything at night and I feel like I’m insane because it’s not schizophrenia but I don’t know what it is so I feel isolated and sensitive
depression's description hit home so much and it was spot on. i've been dealing with depression and s... thoughts for over 5 years now. your description made me feel seen, i often times struggle with my diagnosis and i think that i am entitled/spoiled to be depressed as some people have it worse than me (that's what i think at least, my psychiatrist disagrees with me but anyhow...) it made me feel a bit better to be honest, so thank you @Snook
hi friend, as someone who struggles with very similar thoughts i wanted to share the reassurance i have been given: having depression is not entitled or spoiled. depressed people don't choose to be depressed; if it was a choice nobody would have it. and it really doesn't matter who has it worse, at the end of the day everybody deserves to heal, to feel good about themselves and their lives. you deserve happiness. may you find it again soon. ❤
As someone who suffers from bipolar type 1 disorder, anxiety, adhd, depression, and drug induced psychosis, this is spot on, im much happier in life right now at 22 years old but dealing with all this made me view the world in a different outlook, it ruined my last relationship because me and my ex had similar things as she had agoraphobia and major anxiety with depression. Still getting over the heartbreak but I’m gonna be strong
As someone with multiple of these disorders, it’s nice to be able to hear more about what I have and seeing these comments knowing I’m not alone with what I experience. Thank you for this video snook 🙏
As someone who works in the mental health field I really enjoyed your video, I thought it was really well researched and handled with sensitivity but I think you should have laid out the tiers by most common to least common or by type of disorder (personality disorders, sleep disorders etc) as I don't think it's fair to say that one illness is "more serious" then another. Some of the really rare illnesses are very misunderstood and I think to order them by "seriousness" adds to the negative stigma. However I really like that you covered a wide range of illnesses it really raises awareness of these conditions ❤
I'm actually happy to see D.I.D on here, since my lover actually suffers from it, and I'm so sad that its very misunderstood, I'm glad to see it was highlighted here!
As a system, people like you seriously make me feel so relieved that not all systems are in a bad spot always via relationships romantic or not. I hope you and your partner/partners are doing well 🙏
@@mariki06 A system is the entirety of the alters of someone who has DID, basically they refer to themselves as a system when they are referring to themselves as a whole. Alters are the fragments/people in said system. They can all be extremely different, their genders, species, ages, etc and can even have different disorders themselves. One of the alters in our system for example shows heavy symptoms of PTSD while the others do not show it much or at all. We are diagnosed with DID as well as many other things, so we have figured out a lot over time. Examples of differences is that one of our alters is a cyborg, another is a normal human, one is quite literally a half dragon. DID is caused by very traumatic events normally. Many people think it's not very common, but it actually is quite common, most systems are too afraid to tell most people because it is seen as someone being "crazy" or heavily seen as a bad thing, when really it is just a way of the body protecting itself and most systems want nothing more than to feel safe and live life normally and comfortably.
@@MisterSpleenlol Well I'm no professional, but comparative to other disorders, it is rare. The influx of it being common nature is because of proxy Munchhausen syndrome. TikTok and Tumblr are the harbingers of disorder fakers. it's a shame. The word is thrown around to a point where it's meaning is non-apparant.
@@MisterSpleenlolhi if you don’t mind me asking, i never understood the pronouns we are supposed to use. Do we address you as a group or do we address the gender the body is?
I’m gonna be honest, I don’t want my autism cured. Autism is the reason I have obsessions with certain topics and those topics I became obsessed with led me to meeting so many amazing people and having great memories. One of the topics (aviation) also are leading me to a good paying career. Autism is a 8/10 for me
I had nightmare disorder for several years as a child. I can still recall the sequence in meticulous detail. A silver toyota, looked like a 2010 Yaris but definitely couldn't have been, though it was based on a specific model that the kindergarten employee owned. It was violently pursuing me in an accurately depicted rendition of the road that passed by my home, when we reached the kindergarten where I went at that age, I turned around and it caught on and did so as well. Thinking I had distracted it by having to turn around I jumped into the ditch and watched as it drove nearer when I noticed it had no driver and the dream ended. Needless to say when my grandfather got a silver toyota I was stupefied. It wasn't traumatizing, it was just perplexing. I had another sequence which was much more traumatizing and I still can remember it if I think but I don't want to. That shit was awful.
I had a reoccurring nightmare involving a car as well. Mine lasted into my early 30's, but towards the end I only had it once or twice a year. I came to believe that it was a past life ending. Still very nervous to be on a steep road, where I can't see beyond the top of the incline.
I still have this. But it’s not debilitating in any way for me, being that I’m a horror fan as is, I find it kinda exciting and I actually look forward to them.
I was diagnosed with Persistent Depressive Disorder and Generalized anxiety disorder. I’d tell my Psychiatrist over and over that my anxiety isn’t just general worries. But it’s about people, it’s social settings and the way I feel toward my personality like I just feel so reserved and not able to be myself. A lot of the time I never really know what to say to people I’m always at a loss for words so I just stay silent all day while at work or in places I don’t feel comfortable. I find it easier to be mute. I smoke a lot of weed, 50+ hits off my vape everyday easy and I’m high all day. It probably isn’t good to do that and I just notice myself feeling more depressed. Despite in this last year I’ve done more for myself career wise and I’ve done a lot of fun things this year. I just feel like I live on the outside it never feels like I can enjoy anything anymore.
So as a Narcleptic, its not a mental illness but it can cause mental health issues due to being chronically fatigue other then that, good job, narclpesy is really hard to find information about. Also while they do not know what causes the loss of hypocretian cells, they are located in the hypothalamus and are inchrge of both wakefulness and appetite. It is theorized that it is linked to genetics and autoamunity
"more and more common each day" . Notice the quotation marks 😂. Schizophrenia can be applied to any and all bodies . Psychology is a pseudo science.. who can determine normal. Only God.
Hate to be that guy but this isn't *entirely* correct. We have better knowledge on what it looks like so more people are getting diagnosed. And we're also keeping a better census on it!
However illnesses and disorders on censuses aren't usually accurate (in the USA) because it requires money to get diagnosed, and the poor are usually the most affected by these things
From an experienced perspective on PTSD, the danger lies in that a person is literally reliving the trauma.. like, you go so far into your head/memory that the external world fades into the background and during this episode there is not really a way to gauge what a person will act out due to their disassociated state. Could harm self or others.. or nothing.. but how would anyone know? 🤷
I certainly relive the trauma every flashback episode I have, but my natural response to the abuse was always freezing and dissociating, so that's what happens to me now. I just space out, so from the outside, nothing. But in reality it's extremely difficult to deal with.
I'm autistic and have issues with depression and you handled them both really well, particularly where you stress the disorder in ASD. I'd also mention that autistic individuals have physiological issues like joint and balance problems. It's a neurological as well as mental disorder, so the whole body is affected in a way that often feels a bit strange.
There's a physical component to it that isn't well understood yet. Autism also affects muscle mass and even blood circulation, for instance. There seems to be some connection with the gut microbiome too, autistic people tend to have more stomach and digestive issues in general and there's scientific evidence that healing one's gut microbiome like with probiotics and prebiotics can lessen autism symptoms. (And that's actual hard science, not just some outdated pseudoscientific garbage sponsored by Autism Speaks or whatever.) There's some speculation that it may be an autoimmune disease, as there are some autoimmune illnesses that have neurological symptoms comparable to autism (namely autoimmune encephalitis).
Many Autistic(me included) have what is called hypermobility which causes the joints to have better flexibility and has access to bigger movements. Though this also causes various problems like: pain, weaker muscles, weaker joints, muscle tissue not connecting properly with joints. It also increases chances for arthritis, dislocations and certain autoimmune disorders such as rheuma.
@@ffc1a28c7 Ye when I saw that he used Autism speaks I knew that he did not do a lot of research into any more than what is on a medical document and the first or second site that popped up about it
I think people should know that this video isn't for self diagnosis, as having signs doesn't immediately mean you might have a certain mental illness. Though, once diagnosed by a professional that's when you can be worried. It is nice to have videos like this that spread awareness and knowledge on things many just make so many assumptions or guesses on.
@@youdontknowme4576self diagnosis can be both bad and good. someone could possibly think they have something and convince themself then tell their doctors and get put on the wrong meds but it can also go the wrong way.
@@TheActualHelloKitty a good doctor wouldnt do that like come on man. tell me a case of misdiagnosed prescription of wrong meds to a self diagnosed patient
Yeah not mentioning that a lot of these are just flat out stupid and don't exist like Transvex is the stupidest bullshit ive ever heard no one is dressing like the opposite gender thats some bullshit sexist bullshit. Im tried of this bullshit that ive said bullshit 10 times now. Clothes are fucking clothes god damn 99.99% of people are just trying to live their lives happily without some stupid ass shit denying them that they even exist
Ive had social anxiety (and anxiety in general) since i was extremely young. i usually isolate myself in my room during family gatherings, and when i am out. what helps (for me) is wearing headphones (preferably with loud music on) and my meds :) Im working on being more social, and not isolating myself as much :DD!!
Just a quick message to tell you that I am glad I have found your channel, I am watching all your videos and I am now into the philosophy icerberg, it contains a lot of hard to grasp notions so I prefer to watch it in few days, 20 minutes by 20 minutes. Thank you for the work you do. An iceberg of moral/cultural taboos around the world would be pretty interesting to watch.
Thanks for describing ASD the way you did! Many people describe it so dehumanizing and stereotypical, but your description was really good. I just want to add, that it's nothing that has to be cured. Autistics face some additional challenges, and can - like every person - struggle or do fairly well. Many Autistics are only diagnosed late in life. It's more a matter of how most people treat us that makes our life hard (plus of course sensory issues etc.)
I had avoided the video because I knew personality disorders would be mentioned. I was glad to see he covered them so well. As someone with ODD and then diagnosed with ASPD it’s nice to see people speak about it more neutrally or even kindly. Growing up I was told I belong in a concentration camp or should be dragged behind a truck. And that was just because of rumors I had ASPD because I didn’t have many friends, stole candy, ran away from home (cus my mom was abusive), and had self harm problems. People are so scared of the simple thought of personality disorders they’ll mistreat people who are simply showing signs of SOMETHING wrong. And it’s in my opinion what leads to many of us going into more outright malicious behavior.
Hey, Not a bad overview! I have a few notes on some things tho. Autism isn’t a mental illness, as many people have pointed out in the comments. Most autistics will also get pretty anxious about “cure” talk, because we don’t want a cure, there is probably never going to be one, and promoting the narrative that it can ever be cured is eugenicist. I don’t think you meant to imply that obviously, but I wanted to mention it. Theres a lot of discourse about the existence of ODD, as it is typically excessively diagnosed in children who better fit symptoms of other conditions, but for whatever reason the adults in their lives find them too difficult to deal with or allow stereotypes to influence their judgement. I know a couple of DID systems, and in the ones I know, the alters are all distinct people who have learned to coexist with each other. While many systems may be interested in reintegration with the host, many are completely fine existing separately and some may not even need treatment for DID specifically aside from therapy. They’re all super interesting and wonderful people, and the best thing you can do for DID systems in your life is to just… get to know them and be nice.
Also some people can have a few symptoms of a disorder without actually having it. For instance I have obsessions/intrusive thoughts from time to time (I find it very hard to stop thinking about disturbing things) but I don't have OCD as far as I know.
Agreed! It’s referred to as “tendencies”. I also have intrusive thoughts (I can’t grip a lighter in my pocket without my mind telling me to flick that box in my pocket 🤦🏻♀️) but I’ve been diagnosed as having ASPD tendencies, so I’m not a sociopath, but I do have some symptoms.
Mental health social worker who works in outpatient psychiatry. I myself have ADHD, ASD, MDD and GAD. This was really respectfully delivered. Well done.
I do wanna say the puzzle piece is NOT a good symbol to use! It insinuates there is a piece of us missing, which is not the case. A better symbol to use is a rainbow infinity symbol, or infinity symbol in general. Everyone, please do not get your information from Autism Speaks, they are an awful organization focused on belittling and infantilizing those with autism. Stay safe everybody!
I don't want to be represented by a "rainbow infinity symbol". In fact, I don't want to be represented by anything at all. I want to cure myself of this disgusting disease that some people are deluded enough to think is some sort of superpower.
as someone who has had a drug induced psychosis i can relate to almost all of these conditions as they can manifest for a few moments or days, from the alien hand to hysterical blindness, truman syndrom, hppd and so on. its really important that if a doctor sees that a patient is psychotic they do not make a diagnose until into the recovery of the psychosis as this could easily lead to false diagnosis like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and so on
My Boss who is also a good friend to me, sadly (but at the same time luckily and I am happy for him about it) doesn't understand how bad mental problems can affect a person, this has helped me a bit to explain it to him, thank you :)
ok well im not done watching this video but i really felt like i had to comment on it. I actually was going to quietly drunk hatewatch bc i have npd+aspd which is demonized to hell everywhere and i was expecting this video to do the same (especially considering the memey format) but your summarizing of both was actually pretty considerate and im genuinely surprised. idrk what to say now i had to pause for a sec bc thats so unusual. i guess thank you for talking about people like me as humans despite the symptoms that really can be harmful to others instead of hollywood movie villains and all that stuff. its true that both of em make you do unsavory shit sometimes and ive absolutely been way more hostile to people than i should in a bunch of situations but most of the time they really beat you up internally a lot more than anyone would expect. really made my shitty friday a little better. genuinely thanks a lot

The thing so many people don’t understand about Tourettes is that “involuntary” isn’t quite the right word for a tic (or at least, doesn’t clarify the difference between a tic and a tremor). The word “unvoluntary” or “semi-voluntary” is sometimes used instead, because although we don’t WANT to do it and it can become automatic, it’s technically a conscious action that we make. We do it because of a really uncomfortable sensory experience called a premonitory urge. It’s like a building pressure, itch, or pain that only goes away when you do the tic. Even sitting here writing this, I’m getting a building sense of itchy pressure in my sinuses that won’t go away until I do this … almost a reverse snort, that’s quite loud but does briefly give me relief. Having Tourettes and not ticcing feels like a constant internal rash you can’t scratch - it’s the most painful, frustrating part of the disorder by far, and because it’s invisible it’s so rarely talked about.
I have panic disorder, major depression, bipolar, adhd, and schizotypal. Thank you for making this so others can understand of how mental illness can effect people.
I know you mean well, but this is a false statement. For many ppl, things sadly either only stay the same or only get significantly worse. This is because countless ppl with mental illness live in environments where the ppl around them are apathetic to them or actively abuse them. This is why the suicide rate among the mentally ill are so astronomically high. This is why ppl with mental illness are more likely to be killed for being mentally ill. Things don't get better for everyone, that's why this world needs to starting making an actual effort into making things better for the mentally ill.
41:09 I'm genuinely convinced my ex gf has undiagnosed Histrionic personality disorder. The amount of heinous and horrible things she would lie about just for attention was sickening. Things like being SA'd multiple times, having miscarriages, being a survivor of CSA, lies about having a child, lies about having an abusive ex husband that was also a predator, making fake accounts for family she literally doesn't have, stolen valor, faked suicides, and lies about people threatening a child she didn't have, lies about having cancer, the list truly goes on and on. and then also just the mental abuse she put me through...it just makes me sick. Hopefully she's in a better mental state and has found some help because I would truly hate to go through life exasperating the most traumatic events knowing their untrue just for attention.
@@YurikoKataoka I'm not labelling someone I said I'm convinced she has it, that doesn't mean it's confirmed that she has it. But after speaking to a mental health professional, my ex definitely has some type of personality disorder. "Normal" people don't lie about the stuff she lied about. Until you've lived that nightmare, don't tell me I'm falsely labeling someone.
Thank you so much for being so considerate about these disorders :) im really thankful you didn't generalize! people tend to label OCD as perfectionism and BPD as being 'Bipolar 2'.
Yeah especially trying to compare what people wear to them trying to impersonate the opposite gender? Like wtf that's just messed up and denying people's identities that they can do whatever they want as who they want. A good portion of these mental disorders are caused by societal norms being forced down your throat
As a teen I was going through hard times, my dad had a hard heart attack when I was 12, then my mom had cancer when I was 16, not to mention my dad was an asshole, my mother stressed, my sister going through one of the hardest HS and applying for college at the time... So I was neglected a bit, and had a period of kleptomania, stealing mostly chocolate, school supplies, small toys or trinkets. When I admitted to my friends that I had a problem they fucking joined me, I guess they too were going through the shit of their own and felt like the word owned them something. Eventually, I stopped when I left for college and became adult, being kid sucked for me...
i kind of dislike that these illnesses are ranked here in levels. Both adhd and autism can get so severe that it becomes a living nightmare. Same goes for depression, anorexia, ptsd and GAD. I have GAD and my symptoms can get bad enough to warrant a paranoid schizophrenia diagnosis. EDIT: I am also diagnosed with STPD. Which is also a serious thing which can occur at an early age, and leads to poor adult life. I remember becoming a persistent stalker of one person which i had delusions and "magical thinking" about. Things just got worse from there.
I agree… as bipolar showed up on a lower tier as compared to ASPD and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Even Borderline Personality Disorder has been known as more difficult to treat than bipolar disorder.
So yeah its videos like this that make me feel like i'm not alone. I have autism adhd, i am currently depressed with severe insomnia. But i know there is light at the end of the tunnel and i will one day go do what ive always dreamt to do.
a reminder for everyone and for people who may not know cos some of the wrong images were used during that section, autism is a spectrum and shouldn't be viewed as having different "levels" of it. autistic people range from only a few issues like a lack of or a poor understanding of social skills that will affect the person's life to it being as severe as needing help to do basic activities. all people with autism are different and affected differently by it in different ways. and the puzzle piece isn't the best to use for representation and awareness. it can be interpreted as saying that autistic people "have something missing" and it's commonly associated with autism speaks (which I won't get into here, look them up if you'd like details and you're wondering about it), use a rainbow infinity symbol to represent the spectrum 🌈🫶 ps: I'm trying to be respectful here, so no hate to this video/channel for using puzzle pieces and things in their video, I know some people are unaware of things like this and I know most autistic people (myself included) are not, like, genuinely deeply offended by things like that and most ppl just try to spread awareness the best they can. this video is a good one though! I love icebergs so of course I wanna see all kinds of them 🙏
I remember the very first time I encountered anorexia (mind you I’d never heard of it until years later) I was in a psychiatric hospital and one day I got a new roommate. She was a super skinny asian girl. She didn’t know much English so communication was hard. She was a really pretty girl, very quiet and timid. Every time we’re in the room for quiet time (doors cannot be closed all the way) She randomly cracks it as far as allowed and she’d basically hide behind the door where staff can’t see her. She just jogged in place for the longest time every day. To my uninformed mind it was quite bizarre. I eventually discovered anorexia and it all finally made sense. Knowing that anorexia is the most lethal mental illness I always wondered if she had ever recovered or if she is alive. I still think about her to this day
I suffer from something called Dissociation and Derealization, something that’s been plaguing my life for over a year if not two years now and it’s been making me struggle with identifying people I’ve known my entire life, remember names, accept that my reality is real and that the home that I’m in is a familiar place and not a place that is completely alien to me. I’ve lived in my house for five years but yet I have these episodes where I feel like I’m in a stranger’s home and I’ll have a hard time recognizing my road. Even my mother and father feel like strangers to me or unrecognizable sometimes. Not many people know about these conditions but they’ve been ruining me and multiple other people’s lives since it goes on and off. It constantly tricks people who first get this disease and even years later make the same person believe that they have Alzheimer’s or some form of dementia because of how confusing and alien the world around them feels. Im only 20 years old, and I’m going in for my third MRI to check if something is wrong with my brain knowing that the chances of me having a neurological disease like dementia almost impossible. I wonder if anybody else who watched this video was wondering if this would appear on the list.
just so you know, narcolepsy is not in fact a mental illness. it is a chronic neurological sleep disorder and this common misconception feels very ignorant, since narcolepsy is usually misdiagnosed as a mental illness (depression etc.)
Just a tip, you should start re-recording your takes when you mess up. Almost every sentence has a word you stumble over or mispronounce, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but definitely take the time to reshoot a clip if you need to. It makes the listening experience much smoother and easier to understand.
its a content mill using AI to write the scripts, he doesn't care. Constant pronunciation errors, poorly researched topics that often aren't even correct, the way of speaking can get very weird, notice he says and alot more often than a normal person. and the fact that he uploads so frequently is a big red flag, if he was actually researching and writing these scripts out himself there's just no way he can do all that and edit to get these videos out so fast. Plus he grabs stuff from wikipedia word for word its pathetic
16 years old,diagnosed with OCD,BPD,social anxiety and major depression. I was late for my medication and life was hell for 3 years. People underestimate these circumstances and don't know what it's like to be unable to identify yourself,struggle going through relationships ending with a fight because of you,suddenly feeling hateful for your loved ones, struggle communicating with people irl,always feel foggy and fatigued and always fighting with your own thoughts,wanting them to end. Wanting to end it all by suicide. If you feel like something is wrong,get your treatment before its too late or life will always be hell for you.
cotards syndrome is terrifying, i got so distressed because i could feel my heart beating when i "knew" it shouldnt be and it greatly upset me, i was terrified of flies because i knew if any got near me they would swarm my corpse and i would rot faster so i couldnt leave my bathroom or take care of my animals, it also affected the way i saw others, thinking that my animals were all dead and stuffed, not answering when talked to because i thought i didnt exist outside of my mind, its so haunting
im not sure if i would say its worse than capgras delusions though ... i wish more people understood how its not quirky to be delusional or "delulu" as they call it, it tears you apart from the inside out and unless you can claw at the cliff youre sliding down to get help then youre fucked
If you’re willing to hear constructive criticism, I would recommend taking a second look at pronunciations in your script while recording. I enjoy the video and you presenting it, but using words incorrectly took me out of sections that were meant to be heavy and dealing with a serious topic.
Not to sound morbid, but I got excited when I saw this video was posted. I am currently working on my Master’s for social work. I am in the internship phase of the program I am doing, and I am a intern therapist for children and adults who have mental illnesses. Someone’s mental illness does NOT define who they are. However, it is good to learn about the different types of mental illnesses so a person is not misdiagnosed and put through the wrong treatment.
I got diagnosed with agoraphobia when I was 12 and it’s honestly horrifying every single time I go outside I feel like I might have a panic attack and whenever I feel like I might have a panic attack I begin to feel dizzy and my heart starts beating and it’s horrible
The most horrifying thing would be to show me someone without absolutely any of these, i know we all go through stuff but i would love to see a study of who or what would be considered the baseline for normal mentally, what chems are correct, how much this person takes care of themselves etc, i think we all wonder what a nornal person looks like when compared to our disability
my dad's the closest thing ive ever seen to someone completely stable, but even he has anxiety, i genuinely have no idea what it'd look like to see someone completely stable
You would be a robot if you didn't experience any of these! The baseline is usually when your symptoms stop you functioning, so it's different for everyone it's why many disorders are on a spectrum. Usually pervasive or persistent symptoms or when symptoms mean you are a danger to yourselves and others are when they become diagnosable. Like experiencing anxiety before an exam is completely "normal" experiencing anxiety to the point where it stops you leaving your home then it becomes non functional or "pathological".
I had an ex who essentially grew up in a Norman Rockwell painting. He turned out weird, but his family was so stable and normal, it made me intensely uncomfortable, like I'd never fit in, because I was so messed up. They were wonderful to me, it was my own problem. They were really kind, but I had no idea how to function in that kind of quiet stability.
My brother has autism and sometimes it’s hard to communicate what he wants but other than that he’s a normal kid well for a 6 year old anyways he likes Mario and normal kid stuff nowadays and sometimes it is hard to live with him because sometimes he can’t understand certain things like personal space which I totally get he doesn’t know any better we teach him or when something he wants is closed or something he can’t comprehend it right but we explain it in a way he understands and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better brother in my life he is literally a ray of sunshine and lights up any room he goes in where there is people best brother ever
Just so you know, Autism is a developmental disorder, not a mental illness. I have high functioning autism, while also having anxiety and depression. Unfortunately depression is becoming more and more common in people with autism.
is there a difference between a mental disorder or mental illness. i cant find any distinction when searching it
@@helixxia9320 Disorder is an old term that was thought to affect just the mind. The term illness is more favored nowadays because it considers a holistic approach that concerns the mind's interaction with the body and the environment. Plus, it's a "friendlier" way of describing a condition.
@@toximan2008 yes that is what i have heard too but seems this person doesnt see it that way. they prefer the word disorder over illness, so i'm confused. i have used both disorder and illness interchangeably if someone is asking about my adhd or ocd because i dont mind either word, but now that im trying to search around on what is most used it looks like disorder is the word that is used most when im looking at mental health stuff and the dsm-5, the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders. and like 90% of sites i went into used disorder in the title and on only one site i saw it written as the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental illnesses. i dont think it is wrong to call autism and adhd for either illness/disorder but seems actually that disorder is most used and not illness so i was surprised
@toximan2008 Please don't spread misinformation. Autism is a nuerodevelopmental disorder, meaning that literally our neurons are ordered differently than the rest of the population. It's not temporary and there isn't a cure because autism is not a chemical imbalance but literally a different way in which neurons develop, making it part of the person. That's why it's not an illness and is a disorder.
We know you have autism that’s why the sentence started with just so you know
it can be so hard to explain agoraphobia because how so many shows portrayed it. Im not afraid of the outside, im afraid of encountering a situation where conflict, stress, or any unease could happen. Its so nice hearing someone explain it NOT as a fear of leaving the house.
I dealt with this for MANY years , it got so bad at one point all I would do was literally rot in my bed and watch everyone else grow and have a life , years later I have my own apartment , job and a beautiful life and I no longer have that fear of everything and anything anymore that INTENSE dread is gone , I have confidence and can handle things , yes I still have severe anxiety but not ANYWHERE near how bad it was , it gets better ❤
I fucking cried the first time I heard the real definition of agoraphobia. I always assumed I was borderline bc I could go outside, but seeing the definition and realizing my fear fit perfectly was demoralizing
REAL 😂😂😂
I get physically ill from situations others would be upset over for maybe half an hour, and three days later I'm in bed unable to do anything from how it stresses out my body. But just get over it sure
@@bellamango6708 Relate ;;
Sometimes i really hate how long things stick around. I would love to just let it go but idk it just wants to sit there and ignoring it just makes it stay longer.
social anxiety and other anxiety disorders are so overlooked. people think social anxiety is just a small fear of talking and being judged but its not that. i feel physically ill when thinking of holding a speech or being the center of attention in a social setting
anxiety disorders as a whole are truly trivialized by society. they're seen as "mental illness lite" when that isn't the case at all. they can be extremely disabling to the point of being housebound. it truly isn't what people think it is.
The show, Bocchi The Rock amazingly portrays this disorder. The main character loaths her loneliness and wants to make friends and be accepted & validated. reply if you have watched it.
Bro, I literally projectile vomit then collapse in public sometimes.
@@dreadpiratelenny1348 i had the same issue with vomiting. still happens sometimes but now i know how to prepare. the biggest step for me was just accepting that i was going to throw up. a big part of the problem with nausea/anxiety is fighting it. if you just accept that it's happening, you're already half way done, and hopefully will end up not throwing up. canned sliced pears also really help with nausea. i hope this helps.
I think everybody has that lol

Thankk youu
Thank you kind person
I knew about autophagia and clinical lycanthropy before this iceberg, and you have no use for this information, but I am happy at myself.
the first thing i thought when i saw the word cotard was fucking will wood
thank you!
As someone with OCD you nailed it. Thank you for bringing awareness in an accurate way. Its not “being a neat freak” its more like daily chronic hell of unwanted thoughts/feelings and unstoppable urges to do something to get rid of them. If anyone reading this has or knows someone with ocd, please start exposure and response prevention therapy. Its what ocd specialists use to treat ocd and it saved my life. I really mean it and wish you all the very best.
im really confused if I actually suffer from OCD or not, I’ve always had unwanted thoughts since I was a child ( around age 7-8 ) and I’m also big perfectionist, and can’t stand when things are mess. and it got pretty intense in 2021, I was so anxious and hopeless every day, I had harm ocd, order ocd, existential OCD, my psychiatrist never diagnosed it and never really cared about it, but he said I have compulsive and obsessive behaviours, but since I’ve started taking antidepressants, I feel like the thoughts are almost completely gone? I also have depression, and my meds don’t help me with that, but are pretty helpful to the obsessive thoughts, do you think I might actually have it?
@@n2lw theres a high chance you do. Odds are if you’re seriously questioning it and are suffering then you probably do. I recommend you find an ocd specialist or an anxiety disorder specialized therapist and they can give you a proper diagnosis. Im wishing you the best of luck this shit sucks
@@n2lwJust wanted to say that i got diagnosed a week ago and my psychiatrist prescribed me antidepressants and they do kind of help with my obsessive thoughts so there is a high probability that you do indeed have ocd if they do help.
My biggest L was thinking I didn’t have OCD anymore before realising it’s because I take SSRIs 🫠 it’s helped a lot but even with a decently high dose I still have urges sometimes. I hate how media portrays it.
And OCD doesn't always make you a neat and clean person. It can literally target ANYTHING.
As a guy with BPD, it was a breath of fresh air to hear the way you discuss it. This sickness is such an unreal disorder to deal with for everyone involved and usually people stigmatize us as if we are evil and inherently cruel. It’s always so deeply appreciated to hear someone talk about it in a way that’s not demonizing. so thank you ❤
fuck the people who hate you
People don't understand how painful BPD really is. The stigma is horrible. Hugs to you. ❤❤
Hey, peoples. Just letting you know that if you ever feel like you're alone, you aren't. There are people out there who knows what it feels like to feel extremely hopeless, but there are people willing to help. You are loved and appreciated.
Thanks man I tried killing myself like 3 times
Nah lol
Only if you're a female. Dude feelings don't matter...
Starting singing Saosin you're not alone as soon as I started reading this
Lying is bad you know.
My adult son has schizophrenia. It came on in the middle of his senior year of high school. He almost didn't graduate but after getting out of the hospital the first time, he was able to finish his credits online before another episode. It's been 4 years, multiple hospital stays, dozens of meds, side effects he's having trouble tolerating (akathisia), but he's finally accepted he is schizophrenic and needs meds. He's been participating in his care after this last hospital stay where they gave him the 3 month haldol shot via court order as he was aggressive and disruptive in the hospital. Haldol has been so tough on him (it did help his psychotic symptoms) but he's finally realized he needs meds. He's working with his doctor on using seroquel as the haldol leaves his system. I worry about him every single day but all I can do is be there and help him through as best I can. But having a loved one with schizophrenia is awful and I'm sure it's nothing compared to being the one with schizophrenia.
I wish you and your son the best michelle. Stay strong
as someone who is like your son, please pay mind to changes in behaviors or moods in him. medications will change someone completely. for better or worse. i’ve been on seroquel personally, and don’t remember the many many months i was even on the prescription. and the akathisia from different antipsychotics omg it ruined my life. the longer you suffer the side effect the more irritable you will become even if deep down you don’t want to. i wish truly the best and nothing but healing for you and him. i’m sure your love and support means a lot to him. stay strong💓🪽
Poor baby I hope he gets meds that work for him with no shitty side effects
Seroquel has been a life changing medication for me. I really hope it helps him the same
this is so true man. my uncle had it. truly shit. he passed away last year. I still miss him sm
With Depression in Tier 1, you know you're in for some bad shit
That just means it more common that the others and more people know about it.
9999989⁹
Depression is one of if not the most common mental illness
Its because depression isnt a niche uncommon disorder
Although it can be horrible, depression is fairly common, one of the most common mental illnesses
OCD is probably the scariest thing I've ever went through. You are constantly arguing with your own mind until you become so mentally exhausted that forming thoughts becomes difficult and you feel completely numb. Eventually, you'll feel like a walking corpse. I didn't get on medication until after it caused irreversible trauma to my brain. Now the medication works but it only temporarily blocks it. Without it, I will return to the same state of mind
when your on the medication do u still get some intrusive thoughts or like compulsions , i’m not on medication but i had really bad ocd when i was 9 and it has gotten so much better but i still have random moments where i have to blink a certain amount of times or reread stuff till it feels right and other stuff
@yasminate. I do, but they don't really affect me, and I'm able to shake them off pretty quickly.
Fortunately for me I only had a brief episode of intrusive thoughts. It's still there, deep within, scares me sometimes, but I'm pretty great at handling it at this point. I hope you're doing well in your journey.
As someone was OCD I can speak on this, my ocd put intrusive thoughts into my head, there's some moments with peace, but most is a living nightmare. My ocd will put things in my mind that are not true and I will argue with myself until I resolve or I get to worn out and my mind is exhausted at that point. The ocd will come up almost all the time it's like having a thought that keeps appearing. It's NOT just a cleaning thing.
In the exact same position, it's hell. Wishing you well
Anxiety & depression sucks... anyone reading this who deals with it on the daily, be strong & keep fighting your battles.
I sincerely appreciate this reminder.
It's really hard to keep the spirit up, when it feels like everything is just towering up on you.
Psychiatric problems still have a great stigma, and often makes others think that you're just lazy, rude or the likes, and that sure doesn't help.
Thanks for the empathy. 😌
Thank you so much for the encouragement.
Hang in there, yourself,
and to everyone struggling: please remember that your life *is* worth something, that you absolutely *do* matter, and that the best you can do is enough. Who you are is enough. 💜
honestly ending my life seems alot easier and simpler then trying to "fix" my problems
@@You-Know-Youre-Right There's no need to fix them, or fix yourself. Simply doing your best to live is the best way to go - trust me, I'm bipolar schizoaffective.
I tried to kill myself in 2021, and learned from that how absolutely devastating it is for your loved ones - they feel extreme guilt for not seeing the signs, experience abandonment PTSD, and Jesus, if you have parents alive. I also learned that more people care about us than we realize,
and again, I'm a schizoaffective pariah living in a small town in Alaska where I'm terribly judged and ostracized.
Suicide may seem like a preferable option - up to 84% of people with schizophrenia and its related disorders attempt it at some point - but it truly, genuinely isn't.
Each one of us who dies decreases the diversity of the world, and is a heartbreaking loss.
You don't need to be fixed. Just live as best you can. It's all anyone can do. 💜
People with mental illnesses get all the sympathy, but I have never seen someone with a physical illness get that much sympathy. Would you say that about someone who has a physical condition? (Diabetes, heart disease, COPD, etc)
As someone with STPD and who has battled addiction my whole life I wanna thankyou for this informative and great video. I took me a while to realise how bad my life had gotten but my last psychotic episode that lasted 24+ hours showed me I cant live like this. I'm now just over 9 months sober and happier than ever before
9 months is amazing man keep it up
Idk you but I'm proud of you! Keep it up man 😎

I'm glad that anorexia was added to this iceburg. I've suffered with it pretty much my whole life starting from age 10. People dont realize that it's a mental disorder because its seen more physically than mentally. It's hard to deal with from day to day life. I honestly feel ashamed when I explain that I wont eat something because of the anxiety trying new foods gives me. I've been getting better with it, but it's still a daily struggle personally. It's hard to explain the mental aspect because people just think it's just "being a picky eater". But you explained it perfectly
Stay strong. You're not alone.
you got this homie
Eating disorders like anorexia are in the DSM IV and V so just tell people that if they don’t believe you
hey, I used to struggle w anorexia for 5 years, had gone through treatment but it gets easier everyday, that I can promise. I know it can be hard to even look at some foods sometimes but you got this! stay strong and I'm proud of you for every bite you take my friend 🙏🏽
exactly! Lots of people forget that it's a mental disorder so they tend to dismiss people who don't 'look' like they have anorexia. there's no rush for recovery, but it is a shame that some people only intervene until they're too far gone.
hey, great video!! I noticed a lot of people mentioned that Autism is not a mental illness, but I wanted to also note that many autistic people don't like being represented by autism speaks. there's a lot of videos and articles out there that go over the various ways autism speaks has caused us harm.
As someone who's been struggling with major depressive disorder for 20 years, who's been on the edge of suicide many times and who has staid at mental health hospitals many times, also as someone who's been prescribed pretty much every medication on the market and even antipsychotics (despite having no psychotic symptoms), I can say my life has been hell, but I've learned a lot through my journey and I believe I emerge stronger every time I survive a relapse. You always learn a bit about yourself as you struggle. Depression is no joke. Thank you for spreading awareness about mental health. We need to get rid of all mental health stigmata ASAP.
I don't know the ins and outs of antipsychotics for treating depression, but I've heard it is being used.
😊😊

@@jamesk5541same man. That was me almost two years ago. It gets better. Hard work is hard, but it pays off. You’ve got this.
Thank you so much for this video. I suffer from OCD, ADHD, PTSD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Bipolar Depression. My day to day life for the last 10 years has consisted of feeling like a never ending nightmare. This lead to substance abuse that got to the point of using fentanyl. Two years clean now! I’m only 20, but I’ve just recently gotten the courage to be my own advocate and that’s lead me down a path that so far has been very successful. I can only thank myself and few close family members who have gotten me this far with love, compassion, support and open minded guidance. ❤ So grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given
That’s great to hear ❤️ I hope things keep doing great for you!
the feds abused you so hard
Congratulations friend. I was young when I started using heroin (18-20y.o) I was sober for 8 years and recently relapsed & these days real heroin doesn’t even exist so I ended up hooked on fent. I’m working on it, and recently started to receive suboxone. I guess what I’m saying is hold on to your sobriety and never think you’ve conquered addiction - it’s very very sneaky and I should’ve kept a better eye on it.
Stay safe and blessed! We’ll all make it :)
shame that tiktok 12 year old edgelords have kind of tried to monopolise things like autism and depression. Makes people more sceptical when someone who really has those problems tells them
@@PBI45It's a good thing depression isn't real.
As someone who suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder, its very hard to keep my relationships and emotions stable. I think you explained it perfectly and didnt come from a place of judgement of stigma which most people do, so thank you for that. And for any other BPDers, people with persnality disorders, or anyone suffering from any mental illness, youre not alone. ❤
I'm glad this guy got the OCD right, i've been suffering from OCD for more than 3 years, and i've also been asked what's up with me and i really find it frustrating that the people from my country (Romania) don't have a lot of documentation on this subject and they always expect me to act differently then i do, in fact i met some people that hadn't heard of it and that straight up didn't know how i was gonna react and in most of the cases after getting to meet me they saw that i am not "such a big deal" as they had previously thought. I'm really glad that people like you get the explanation of the disorder right, and i really hope at a people will be more documented over these types of things, at least the people from schools, normal hostpitals (not the psychiatric ones) and any other institute which is essential for people to interact with
I have borderline and you hit the nail on the head. The emotions are beyond controllable, it’s like having emotions guide you. Very often I have clung to 4 or 5 separate personality aspects that are different from each other. It allows the brain and emotions to calm down, to put everything on survival autopilot.
Went 10+ years without a clue that i have major depressive, OCD, schizophrenia, Generalized Anxiety, social phobia.. it was only after a severe psychotic break that i sought help. Im 36 now, at 30 I found myself hospitalized. Thats only the mental part. Physical disabilities compound the issues.
Do you have physical disabilities?
@@EvolutionBG indeed I do.
I’m medically diagnosed with GAD, MDD, and ADHD, though I’m scared that’s not just it. I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until I was 13, so I spend my whole middle school and elementary school experience thinking there was something wrong with me. It’s so crazy how we need to get pushed to the extreme to get help
I'm 36 as well, and was just diagnosed with (bipolar) schizoaffective disorder after experiencing a very similar set of circumstances along a slightly different timeline; I was 34 when manic psychosis pushed me over the edge and landed me in the hospital.
I'm sorry if this sounds like armchair psychology, but your combo of major depression and schizophrenia aligns perfectly with a subtype of schizoaffective disorder (which I'm only mentioning because, even if there's a small chance, I thought it could end up being of help to you - if that's irritating, unhelpful, or inappropriate, I genuinely apologize).
I was born with a congenital spine defect and disabling light sensitivity.
The overload and stress that comes from a combination of mental and physical disability, and the ways they synergize, can be truly brutal (not to mention the sociological b.s. of ableism, general stigma, and the severe misperception of psychosis that runs rampant in our culture).
Every circumstance is different, but I empathize as best I can.
If it's any comfort, you're not alone.
I know it may seem trite or like a cliché, but in the case of rare disorders, simply knowing that there are people in the world who understand - even just a bit - without explanation (because god, is the communication barrier a pain) can genuinely make a difference and help.
(as an example: I found out yesterday that a friend of mine also has bipolar SZA, and it was a relief I didn't know I needed)
What don't you have?
as someone that is officially diagnosed by a professional with ADHD, one common trend i see is people self diagnosing themselves with ADHD when usually they display a part of a single symptom when they clearly arent truly diagnosed or have the disorder
Its a joke isnt it, as alot of people seem to see it as a trend yet fail to realise that ADHD can come with other illnesses.. I was diagnosed as a child and also suspected with BPD.. we all just want to be normal 😂
autism isn't a mental illness though? it's a neurotype, though it may put you at a higher risk for developing a mental illness due to how autistic people are treated, or other related things like genetics.
Exactly this. Same for ADHD and Dyslexia
It’s still a developmental disorder thus is a illness
I think he’s just saying it in an umbrella term
@@himynameis3138 cognitive and mental dysfunctions would of been a better way of describing it.
Neurodivergency, but yes, not a disorder or illnesses. Same for ADHD, etc.

i have what people call “quiet bpd”, but i’m lucky enough to have been diagnosed and get treatment early in life. i’ve been in treatment for about 9 years, and i deal with it pretty well for someone my age, but it makes relationships and daily life so hard. i often describe BPD as being a “broken mirror”- most people have a mental ‘mirror’ of their sense of self. it might have a few cracks, but they can see their whole self, undistorted, with cohesive values, likes/dislikes, patterns of speech and movement, etc… while i have a mirror shattered into many pieces. each piece shows some part of me, but they are all vastly different and from different “angles”. each shard has a completely different set of core beliefs and values.
for someone with a healthy-ish brain, no matter what emotion they feel, they can look in their “mirror” and see the same person. but when i feel any emotion, i can only look at one of those fragments. i forget all the others. this is why i act like a “completely different person” in day to day life, depending on my mood. i can go from acting childish and giddy, making everyone laugh, having positive values, and believing that i’m socially adept and well-liked- and then 30 minutes later, i might not talk to anyone, speak more coldly, believe that the world is a dangerous place, and want to be left alone. it all depends on which part of the broken mirror i’m looking into.
i think that, for me, this is a rather good explanation of what some parts of BPD are like. of course everyone has different experiences with this hellish disorder. i’m learning to accept that i have a more variable sense of self than most people, and trying to work on improving all of my separate “selves” rather than chasing the futile pursuit of a singular sense of identity.
if you read all this you’re very kind and thank you for taking time to understand some of my experience. you are loved and needed on this earth and i’m glad you’re here
This is so well-said
this was an amazing metaphor for it :) thank you, this is really nice to hear someone shares similar experiences to me-- considering it's really hard to find anyone who doesn't demonize bpd
Thanks. This is so well said. I suffer from this disorder too. What you described is very familiar to me. I hope you are good.
I've been given the diagnosis of BPD after spending the last 13 years of mental health issues. I would really like to know what type of treatments you've found helpful as I feel like have come to a dead end road for help.
@@notenoughyettoomuch i’ve been in treatment for about 10 years- i use a combination of talk therapy, DBT skills, trauma therapies, and time. it is an incredibly difficult diagnosis, and i’m sorry you have to struggle with it too. it requires a lot of effort and patience, but getting better and managing it is possible. i have only recently noticed improvements after 10 years of working on it- don’t give up!
Autism could be at every level of the iceberg. It’s like “I can’t look you in the eyes but otherwise I am a totally typical person” to none verbal violent behavior and such
but it's not a mental illness so it should be on here at all
@@actuallyapomergranate I didn’t even think about that but you are totally correct. Well maybe it “qualifies” as a mental illness the way tomatoes qualify as a fruit. Sure it’s a fruit but you don’t put it in fruit salad.
It’s like ASD maybe be classified as a mental illness but you’d never treat it or diagnose it as such
@@actuallyapomergranate🤓👆
@@SuperShortyuussn he is right though
@@ElChipsFiestaBuffet I'm but he acts like it's ice burg breaking, he used the term loosely so what? I have autism and I don't see the big deal.
Adding to the PTSD part of the iceberg: I suffer with PTSD. The flashbacks, intrusive memories, nightmares that present extreme fear, and feeling some sort of constant "background" anxiety on a normal basis that keeps you on edge, are certainly part of it, but it's not all of what I experience. After the event, I now have a really hard time with concentration, and keeping focused on anything. Even watching youtube videos is difficult without slipping into my thoughts and only realizing minutes later. I frequently get distracted while trying to do specific tasks, and it's made it difficult to do anything, or enjoy anything. My memory is also really bad. I can barely recall anything that's happened in my day, only fuzzy snippets of the major parts that I have to piece together. And I tend to have conversations that I do not remember even upon reminder. I have a lot of gaps in my memory and it's frustrating. Before everything, my memory and concentration was amazing. And on top of all that, I derealize a lot, to the point my family feels like strangers I have to play along with. A lot of the time I am derealizing to some extent, and feeling happy is difficult. Crying is hard, and when I stop derealizing it's like everything hits me at once and I remember what happened actually happened and I get in a really bad state mentally. When I completely stop derealizing because I am put in a good, comfortable, safe mood, like when my partner comes over, it feels like I suddenly spawned into existence. It's a weird feeling because I will be talking and the feeling of being real hits me.
It's made me feel like I'm completely worthless, and there's a lot of stuff I personally don't want to get into.
And only recently did I finally find a therapist who will do my counciling. My anxiety medication works, not a whole lot, but it's better than nothing. If I'm being honest, the panicking is worse now than the first month after the event. And the first month is when I was temporarily put on valium, but I got off of it because it made me really tired all day and was making my pain medication not work (I have chronic pain), and I'd go back on it for panic situations if I could even if it made me tired.
But anyways, I hope that gives a better perspective to anyone who is curious! I think it's better to hear it come from people who have it and might be able to provide better detail, with accuracy.
I hate having OCD. It makes me worry about things I don't need to, and I end up to tired to worry about the things I do need to worry about.
I have Borderline Personality Disorder (along PTSD, PDD, and Panic disorder. I also deal with multiple phobias, OCD and body dysmorphia)... It's the result of severe childhood abuse, trauma, and SA... BPD is linked to severe ans persistent trauma that alters the brain chemistry and wiring. According to my therapist and psychologist, there is a push to re-label the disorder as complex-PTSD (c-PTSD). And yes, I do also have Disassociative Disorder, specifically Disassociative Amnesia in partnership with my BPD.
As someone with BPD, I reiterate what the narrator has said... please approach us with empathy. We don't want to be this way and most of us are doing real work to do and be better. 💛
Very hopeful that CPTSD will soon become an official diagnosis in the DSM-6
@magnispora exactly. My official diagnosis is PTSD. but my psychologist and therapist refer to it as c-PTSD when they speak to me because it's as you described, a constant and prolonged exposure to traumatic events and abuse. Borderline is also caused by prolonged and persistent trauma. Borderline isn't a condition that one is born with. I do hope it does get reclassified. Borderline comes with so many negative stigmas that are almost impossible to shake.
Not to be disrespectful, but how you do live with all those conditions? does it hinder your life incredibly?
Nobody cares btw

Went through my whole life dealing with GAD, it’s a struggle to live with but I managed. It was after I lost my dad and got nuked financially when I developed a panic disorder. I was having panic attacks a few times a month atleast.
It used to frustrate me why society doesn’t talk about panic attacks much and tries to forget they exist. But after my experience with them I get why, but It would be nice to have more folk who understand and are comfortable talking about it.
Been taking 50mg sertraline for almost a year now, haven’t had an attack since and I can think clearly again. In a much better place mentally and financially so im thinking about weaning off the Zoloft so I can move on with my life. But it’s good to know that it’s there if my brain decides it wants to torture itself again.

@@Acro_YT 13, in 1988. His name was David and he stared wildly at the blinking light on his office phone every time it rang. Like, he would hone in on the light flashing as if he were deciphering Morse code nuclear missile launch information for the duration of it ringing, then nonchalantly snap back to me as of nothing had happened. Next, was an actual psychiatrist, who fell asleep on me a few times and blamed it on being hungry.
Do it yourself then. Christ there's always someone to whine and complain
I always see people saying that you can’t have ptsd unless you’re a veteran. Thank you for making those people look dumb haha
@@Ohmyadeline maybe you're that certain "someone".
I have Tourette’s and yes it’s annoying at times, but it’s really nice to know that I shouldn’t feel weird or bad about something I can’t control

When I was younger, I somewhat struggled with Truman syndrome for years after seeing the movie. I didn’t think I was on a TV show, but I thought there were hidden cameras everywhere. For context, I was also religious at that time so I thought God was watching my every move and monitoring my thoughts. Obviously religion wasn’t for me and my silly brain. With most people it gives them comfort, but for me it just caused me constant paranoia and guilt. Along with leaving religion, I also grew out of the Truman delusions. Funny enough, I’m holding a device that has a camera facing me at this very moment, apps are constantly tracking our data, and pretty much every public space has cameras. However, it doesn’t bother me like it would have when I was younger.
That's called desensitization. It's also about consent.
I wouldn't say you were suffering from Truman syndrome, what you described is acute paranoia.
@@mariki06 I agree. I related it because it was triggered by the movie it’s named after. Either way it was not a fun time 😅
Same!!! Except for me, this was around the ages of 6-10 years old and it happened in the 80’s well before the Truman show ever existed and before I was aware of reality shows. It eventually just faded out but to this day I absolutely maintain the delusion that pictures can see me and are aware of everything I’m doing. I don’t have any pictures on display, I’m uncomfortable and self conscious around posters of people or books/movie cases where people are looking at me. I can’t even engage in sexual activity in front of pictures of people who are looking at the camera because I feel like they’re watching me and completely aware of my activities.
As someone with schizoid personality disorder I have to thank you for skipping over it, we dont like attention but maybe it would be nice to be understood

schizophrenia is truly the worst. my grandma had schizophrenia, and leading up to her eventual su**ide, she was really losing herself. before the episode that led to us losing her, she was kind and gentle. she was almost like a parent to me, but that quickly changed when her symptoms began to worsen. we would have to be near silent in the house (she lived below us) because she would get extremely angry and yell if it was too loud. she became more short-tempered and in the last week of her life, she had a fit where she was trying to hurt herself and other members of my family out of paranoia and distrust. my mom called mental health people but they said they couldnt do anything about it because she hadnt actually hurt anyone. the next week she died. her aunt actually had schizophrenia as well and spent her entire life in a psychiatric hospital, so we never met her. that’s my story with schizophrenia. truly one of the most heartbreaking illnesses out there.
Lmaooo

@@SuperDuperSeb I usually don't comment in UA-cam videos but I have had to think about how asshole you and your comment is. I wish someday you understand how serious and painful can schizophrenia be, instead of taunting people who suffered from it.
I dont have schizophrenia but I do suffer from .. hallucinations? paranoia? psychosis? not sure what to call it but the worst examples I have of these are when the image of a man suddenly flashed into my head and I was convinced someone called the bruiser was going to come beat me up (I had never heard the name before, still haven’t, never seen the man before), heard breathing and immediately panicked and had to grip my hair and cry because I was terrified, seen bugs in the corner of my eyes, felt like my thighs should be split open (still do..)
if this is anything near what schizophrenic people feel like I can assure you this is actually terrifying, I can’t enjoy anything I used to (horror, mainly analog horror) and I’m scared to do anything at night and I feel like I’m insane because it’s not schizophrenia but I don’t know what it is so I feel isolated and sensitive
depression's description hit home so much and it was spot on. i've been dealing with depression and s... thoughts for over 5 years now. your description made me feel seen, i often times struggle with my diagnosis and i think that i am entitled/spoiled to be depressed as some people have it worse than me (that's what i think at least, my psychiatrist disagrees with me but anyhow...) it made me feel a bit better to be honest, so thank you @Snook
hi friend, as someone who struggles with very similar thoughts i wanted to share the reassurance i have been given:
having depression is not entitled or spoiled. depressed people don't choose to be depressed; if it was a choice nobody would have it. and it really doesn't matter who has it worse, at the end of the day everybody deserves to heal, to feel good about themselves and their lives.
you deserve happiness. may you find it again soon. ❤

As someone who suffers from bipolar type 1 disorder, anxiety, adhd, depression, and drug induced psychosis, this is spot on, im much happier in life right now at 22 years old but dealing with all this made me view the world in a different outlook, it ruined my last relationship because me and my ex had similar things as she had agoraphobia and major anxiety with depression.

As someone who works in the mental health field I really enjoyed your video, I thought it was really well researched and handled with sensitivity but I think you should have laid out the tiers by most common to least common or by type of disorder (personality disorders, sleep disorders etc) as I don't think it's fair to say that one illness is "more serious" then another. Some of the really rare illnesses are very misunderstood and I think to order them by "seriousness" adds to the negative stigma. However I really like that you covered a wide range of illnesses it really raises awareness of these conditions ❤

@@MisterSpleenlol I never understood this. what is a 'system'??
@@mariki06 A system is the entirety of the alters of someone who has DID, basically they refer to themselves as a system when they are referring to themselves as a whole. Alters are the fragments/people in said system. They can all be extremely different, their genders, species, ages, etc and can even have different disorders themselves. One of the alters in our system for example shows heavy symptoms of PTSD while the others do not show it much or at all.
We are diagnosed with DID as well as many other things, so we have figured out a lot over time. Examples of differences is that one of our alters is a cyborg, another is a normal human, one is quite literally a half dragon. DID is caused by very traumatic events normally. Many people think it's not very common, but it actually is quite common, most systems are too afraid to tell most people because it is seen as someone being "crazy" or heavily seen as a bad thing, when really it is just a way of the body protecting itself and most systems want nothing more than to feel safe and live life normally and comfortably.
@@MisterSpleenlol Well I'm no professional, but comparative to other disorders, it is rare. The influx of it being common nature is because of proxy Munchhausen syndrome. TikTok and Tumblr are the harbingers of disorder fakers. it's a shame. The word is thrown around to a point where it's meaning is non-apparant.
@@MisterSpleenlolhi if you don’t mind me asking, i never understood the pronouns we are supposed to use. Do we address you as a group or do we address the gender the body is?
This is a nice twist on the Iceberg format, thanks for educating people on these topics, it's needed
I’m gonna be honest, I don’t want my autism cured. Autism is the reason I have obsessions with certain topics and those topics I became obsessed with led me to meeting so many amazing people and having great memories. One of the topics (aviation) also are leading me to a good paying career. Autism is a 8/10 for me
as someone who’s suffering from OCD, thank you for spreading this. this is a very educational video and it described the disorder very well
I had nightmare disorder for several years as a child. I can still recall the sequence in meticulous detail. A silver toyota, looked like a 2010 Yaris but definitely couldn't have been, though it was based on a specific model that the kindergarten employee owned. It was violently pursuing me in an accurately depicted rendition of the road that passed by my home, when we reached the kindergarten where I went at that age, I turned around and it caught on and did so as well. Thinking I had distracted it by having to turn around I jumped into the ditch and watched as it drove nearer when I noticed it had no driver and the dream ended. Needless to say when my grandfather got a silver toyota I was stupefied. It wasn't traumatizing, it was just perplexing. I had another sequence which was much more traumatizing and I still can remember it if I think but I don't want to. That shit was awful.
I had a reoccurring nightmare involving a car as well. Mine lasted into my early 30's, but towards the end I only had it once or twice a year.
I came to believe that it was a past life ending. Still very nervous to be on a steep road, where I can't see beyond the top of the incline.
I still have this. But it’s not debilitating in any way for me, being that I’m a horror fan as is, I find it kinda exciting and I actually look forward to them.

I was diagnosed with Persistent Depressive Disorder and Generalized anxiety disorder. I’d tell my Psychiatrist over and over that my anxiety isn’t just general worries. But it’s about people, it’s social settings and the way I feel toward my personality like I just feel so reserved and not able to be myself. A lot of the time I never really know what to say to people I’m always at a loss for words so I just stay silent all day while at work or in places I don’t feel comfortable. I find it easier to be mute. I smoke a lot of weed, 50+ hits off my vape everyday easy and I’m high all day. It probably isn’t good to do that and I just notice myself feeling more depressed. Despite in this last year I’ve done more for myself career wise and I’ve done a lot of fun things this year. I just feel like I live on the outside it never feels like I can enjoy anything anymore.
So as a Narcleptic, its not a mental illness but it can cause mental health issues due to being chronically fatigue other then that, good job, narclpesy is really hard to find information about. Also while they do not know what causes the loss of hypocretian cells, they are located in the hypothalamus and are inchrge of both wakefulness and appetite. It is theorized that it is linked to genetics and autoamunity
The worst thing about schizophrenia is that it’s getting more and more common each day.
mb
"more and more common each day" . Notice the quotation marks 😂. Schizophrenia can be applied to any and all bodies . Psychology is a pseudo science.. who can determine normal. Only God.
Hate to be that guy but this isn't *entirely* correct. We have better knowledge on what it looks like so more people are getting diagnosed. And we're also keeping a better census on it!
However illnesses and disorders on censuses aren't usually accurate (in the USA) because it requires money to get diagnosed, and the poor are usually the most affected by these things
@@griftersbonesthe poor are usually on state insurance that covers almost everything without a copay
From an experienced perspective on PTSD, the danger lies in that a person is literally reliving the trauma.. like, you go so far into your head/memory that the external world fades into the background and during this episode there is not really a way to gauge what a person will act out due to their disassociated state. Could harm self or others.. or nothing.. but how would anyone know? 🤷
its fun when youre not even sure where you got the ptsd from
I certainly relive the trauma every flashback episode I have, but my natural response to the abuse was always freezing and dissociating, so that's what happens to me now. I just space out, so from the outside, nothing. But in reality it's extremely difficult to deal with.
I'm autistic and have issues with depression and you handled them both really well, particularly where you stress the disorder in ASD. I'd also mention that autistic individuals have physiological issues like joint and balance problems. It's a neurological as well as mental disorder, so the whole body is affected in a way that often feels a bit strange.
There's a physical component to it that isn't well understood yet. Autism also affects muscle mass and even blood circulation, for instance. There seems to be some connection with the gut microbiome too, autistic people tend to have more stomach and digestive issues in general and there's scientific evidence that healing one's gut microbiome like with probiotics and prebiotics can lessen autism symptoms. (And that's actual hard science, not just some outdated pseudoscientific garbage sponsored by Autism Speaks or whatever.)
There's some speculation that it may be an autoimmune disease, as there are some autoimmune illnesses that have neurological symptoms comparable to autism (namely autoimmune encephalitis).
Many Autistic(me included) have what is called hypermobility which causes the joints to have better flexibility and has access to bigger movements. Though this also causes various problems like: pain, weaker muscles, weaker joints, muscle tissue not connecting properly with joints. It also increases chances for arthritis, dislocations and certain autoimmune disorders such as rheuma.

I think people should know that this video isn't for self diagnosis, as having signs doesn't immediately mean you might have a certain mental illness. Though, once diagnosed by a professional that's when you can be worried.
It is nice to have videos like this that spread awareness and knowledge on things many just make so many assumptions or guesses on.
i don't see anyone engaging in self diagnosis you are worried for no reason
@@youdontknowme4576self diagnosis can be both bad and good. someone could possibly think they have something and convince themself then tell their doctors and get put on the wrong meds but it can also go the wrong way.

Im tried of this bullshit that ive said bullshit 10 times now. Clothes are fucking clothes god damn 99.99% of people are just trying to live their lives happily without some stupid ass shit denying them that they even exist
Ive had social anxiety (and anxiety in general) since i was extremely young. i usually isolate myself in my room during family gatherings, and when i am out. what helps (for me) is wearing headphones (preferably with loud music on) and my meds :) Im working on being more social, and not isolating myself as much :DD!!
Just a quick message to tell you that I am glad I have found your channel, I am watching all your videos and I am now into the philosophy icerberg, it contains a lot of hard to grasp notions so I prefer to watch it in few days, 20 minutes by 20 minutes. Thank you for the work you do. An iceberg of moral/cultural taboos around the world would be pretty interesting to watch.
Thanks for describing ASD the way you did! Many people describe it so dehumanizing and stereotypical, but your description was really good. I just want to add, that it's nothing that has to be cured. Autistics face some additional challenges, and can - like every person - struggle or do fairly well. Many Autistics are only diagnosed late in life. It's more a matter of how most people treat us that makes our life hard (plus of course sensory issues etc.)
I had avoided the video because I knew personality disorders would be mentioned. I was glad to see he covered them so well. As someone with ODD and then diagnosed with ASPD it’s nice to see people speak about it more neutrally or even kindly. Growing up I was told I belong in a concentration camp or should be dragged behind a truck. And that was just because of rumors I had ASPD because I didn’t have many friends, stole candy, ran away from home (cus my mom was abusive), and had self harm problems. People are so scared of the simple thought of personality disorders they’ll mistreat people who are simply showing signs of SOMETHING wrong. And it’s in my opinion what leads to many of us going into more outright malicious behavior.
Hey, Not a bad overview! I have a few notes on some things tho.
Autism isn’t a mental illness, as many people have pointed out in the comments. Most autistics will also get pretty anxious about “cure” talk, because we don’t want a cure, there is probably never going to be one, and promoting the narrative that it can ever be cured is eugenicist. I don’t think you meant to imply that obviously, but I wanted to mention it.
Theres a lot of discourse about the existence of ODD, as it is typically excessively diagnosed in children who better fit symptoms of other conditions, but for whatever reason the adults in their lives find them too difficult to deal with or allow stereotypes to influence their judgement.
I know a couple of DID systems, and in the ones I know, the alters are all distinct people who have learned to coexist with each other. While many systems may be interested in reintegration with the host, many are completely fine existing separately and some may not even need treatment for DID specifically aside from therapy. They’re all super interesting and wonderful people, and the best thing you can do for DID systems in your life is to just… get to know them and be nice.
Also some people can have a few symptoms of a disorder without actually having it. For instance I have obsessions/intrusive thoughts from time to time (I find it very hard to stop thinking about disturbing things) but I don't have OCD as far as I know.
Agreed! It’s referred to as “tendencies”. I also have intrusive thoughts (I can’t grip a lighter in my pocket without my mind telling me to flick that box in my pocket 🤦🏻♀️) but I’ve been diagnosed as having ASPD tendencies, so I’m not a sociopath, but I do have some symptoms.
Mental health social worker who works in outpatient psychiatry. I myself have ADHD, ASD, MDD and GAD. This was really respectfully delivered. Well done.
Have you heard of “KYS”? Look it up.
I do wanna say the puzzle piece is NOT a good symbol to use! It insinuates there is a piece of us missing, which is not the case. A better symbol to use is a rainbow infinity symbol, or infinity symbol in general. Everyone, please do not get your information from Autism Speaks, they are an awful organization focused on belittling and infantilizing those with autism. Stay safe everybody!
Thank you so much for the information! I had no clue but now I know, thanks for letting me know.

its really important that if a doctor sees that a patient is psychotic they do not make a diagnose until into the recovery of the psychosis as this could easily lead to false diagnosis like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and so on

Love watchin ur icebergs while workin, always got some great videos to binge.
The thing so many people don’t understand about Tourettes is that “involuntary” isn’t quite the right word for a tic (or at least, doesn’t clarify the difference between a tic and a tremor). The word “unvoluntary” or “semi-voluntary” is sometimes used instead, because although we don’t WANT to do it and it can become automatic, it’s technically a conscious action that we make.
We do it because of a really uncomfortable sensory experience called a premonitory urge. It’s like a building pressure, itch, or pain that only goes away when you do the tic. Even sitting here writing this, I’m getting a building sense of itchy pressure in my sinuses that won’t go away until I do this … almost a reverse snort, that’s quite loud but does briefly give me relief. Having Tourettes and not ticcing feels like a constant internal rash you can’t scratch - it’s the most painful, frustrating part of the disorder by far, and because it’s invisible it’s so rarely talked about.
I have panic disorder, major depression, bipolar, adhd, and schizotypal. Thank you for making this so others can understand of how mental illness can effect people.
Love you all. Whatever you're going through, it'll pass.
I'm one of the few with hppd. And sadly it recently got worse so it probably won't go away anytime soon
@Alkalez0 I know it gets easier, it just doesn't always become "easy"
I know you mean well, but this is a false statement. For many ppl, things sadly either only stay the same or only get significantly worse. This is because countless ppl with mental illness live in environments where the ppl around them are apathetic to them or actively abuse them. This is why the suicide rate among the mentally ill are so astronomically high. This is why ppl with mental illness are more likely to be killed for being mentally ill. Things don't get better for everyone, that's why this world needs to starting making an actual effort into making things better for the mentally ill.
41:09 I'm genuinely convinced my ex gf has undiagnosed Histrionic personality disorder. The amount of heinous and horrible things she would lie about just for attention was sickening.

Hopefully she's in a better mental state and has found some help because I would truly hate to go through life exasperating the most traumatic events knowing their untrue just for attention.

i kind of dislike that these illnesses are ranked here in levels. Both adhd and autism can get so severe that it becomes a living nightmare.
Same goes for depression, anorexia, ptsd and GAD.
I have GAD and my symptoms can get bad enough to warrant a paranoid schizophrenia diagnosis.
EDIT: I am also diagnosed with STPD. Which is also a serious thing which can occur at an early age, and leads to poor adult life. I remember becoming a persistent stalker of one person which i had delusions and "magical thinking" about. Things just got worse from there.
Isn’t it just based on peoples general knowledge of topics not some hierarchy of what’s the worse Illness
@@hec547 Lol no. The guys specifically says that this gets worse across the tiers. This videos is very problematic.
I agree… as bipolar showed up on a lower tier as compared to ASPD and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Even Borderline Personality Disorder has been known as more difficult to treat than bipolar disorder.
Depression should be way lower on the list…I speak in experience…
So yeah its videos like this that make me feel like i'm not alone. I have autism adhd, i am currently depressed with severe insomnia. But i know there is light at the end of the tunnel and i will one day go do what ive always dreamt to do.
Funny how I got an ad about video game designing when you explained video game disorder.
a reminder for everyone and for people who may not know cos some of the wrong images were used during that section, autism is a spectrum and shouldn't be viewed as having different "levels" of it. autistic people range from only a few issues like a lack of or a poor understanding of social skills that will affect the person's life to it being as severe as needing help to do basic activities. all people with autism are different and affected differently by it in different ways. and the puzzle piece isn't the best to use for representation and awareness. it can be interpreted as saying that autistic people "have something missing" and it's commonly associated with autism speaks (which I won't get into here, look them up if you'd like details and you're wondering about it), use a rainbow infinity symbol to represent the spectrum 🌈🫶
ps: I'm trying to be respectful here, so no hate to this video/channel for using puzzle pieces and things in their video, I know some people are unaware of things like this and I know most autistic people (myself included) are not, like, genuinely deeply offended by things like that and most ppl just try to spread awareness the best they can. this video is a good one though! I love icebergs so of course I wanna see all kinds of them 🙏
as a fellow autist, i think you worded this beautifully and respectfully :) thank you for this comment!
I had no idea. Thanks for the info!
My thoughts exactly, thank you. I hope he addresses this issue instead of completely ignoring it.
It's a disorder.
You understand me and everyone else thank you very much ❤️
I like how this guy stumbles over some of his words and keeps it in the vid. It's kinda funny and gets a chuckle when I notice it. 😂
I remember the very first time I encountered anorexia (mind you I’d never heard of it until years later)
I was in a psychiatric hospital and one day I got a new roommate. She was a super skinny asian girl. She didn’t know much English so communication was hard. She was a really pretty girl, very quiet and timid.
Every time we’re in the room for quiet time (doors cannot be closed all the way)
She randomly cracks it as far as allowed and she’d basically hide behind the door where staff can’t see her. She just jogged in place for the longest time every day.
To my uninformed mind it was quite bizarre.
I eventually discovered anorexia and it all finally made sense.
Knowing that anorexia is the most lethal mental illness I always wondered if she had ever recovered or if she is alive. I still think about her to this day
I suffer from something called Dissociation and Derealization, something that’s been plaguing my life for over a year if not two years now and it’s been making me struggle with identifying people I’ve known my entire life, remember names, accept that my reality is real and that the home that I’m in is a familiar place and not a place that is completely alien to me. I’ve lived in my house for five years but yet I have these episodes where I feel like I’m in a stranger’s home and I’ll have a hard time recognizing my road. Even my mother and father feel like strangers to me or unrecognizable sometimes. Not many people know about these conditions but they’ve been ruining me and multiple other people’s lives since it goes on and off. It constantly tricks people who first get this disease and even years later make the same person believe that they have Alzheimer’s or some form of dementia because of how confusing and alien the world around them feels. Im only 20 years old, and I’m going in for my third MRI to check if something is wrong with my brain knowing that the chances of me having a neurological disease like dementia almost impossible. I wonder if anybody else who watched this video was wondering if this would appear on the list.
Searched up Iceberg explained and this was the first one that showed up, gotta say interesting topic
just so you know, narcolepsy is not in fact a mental illness. it is a chronic neurological sleep disorder and this common misconception feels very ignorant, since narcolepsy is usually misdiagnosed as a mental illness (depression etc.)
🤓☝️
I completely agree! This pyramid is garbage, and is completely garbled.
they also missed transgender and everything is misspelled in the chapter titles. feels like this video was made by an AI
@@metaphysicalparadox "🤓☝" 🤓☝
Just a tip, you should start re-recording your takes when you mess up. Almost every sentence has a word you stumble over or mispronounce, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but definitely take the time to reshoot a clip if you need to. It makes the listening experience much smoother and easier to understand.
its a content mill using AI to write the scripts, he doesn't care. Constant pronunciation errors, poorly researched topics that often aren't even correct, the way of speaking can get very weird, notice he says and alot more often than a normal person. and the fact that he uploads so frequently is a big red flag, if he was actually researching and writing these scripts out himself there's just no way he can do all that and edit to get these videos out so fast. Plus he grabs stuff from wikipedia word for word its pathetic
@@fleurdeliseffxiv1580 that makes a lot more sense
16 years old,diagnosed with OCD,BPD,social anxiety and major depression. I was late for my medication and life was hell for 3 years. People underestimate these circumstances and don't know what it's like to be unable to identify yourself,struggle going through relationships ending with a fight because of you,suddenly feeling hateful for your loved ones, struggle communicating with people irl,always feel foggy and fatigued and always fighting with your own thoughts,wanting them to end. Wanting to end it all by suicide. If you feel like something is wrong,get your treatment before its too late or life will always be hell for you.
I had this on during a long study session. It was great background noise and I learned a lot of new stuff!
cotards syndrome is terrifying, i got so distressed because i could feel my heart beating when i "knew" it shouldnt be and it greatly upset me, i was terrified of flies because i knew if any got near me they would swarm my corpse and i would rot faster so i couldnt leave my bathroom or take care of my animals, it also affected the way i saw others, thinking that my animals were all dead and stuffed, not answering when talked to because i thought i didnt exist outside of my mind, its so haunting
im not sure if i would say its worse than capgras delusions though ... i wish more people understood how its not quirky to be delusional or "delulu" as they call it, it tears you apart from the inside out and unless you can claw at the cliff youre sliding down to get help then youre fucked
If you’re willing to hear constructive criticism, I would recommend taking a second look at pronunciations in your script while recording.
I enjoy the video and you presenting it, but using words incorrectly took me out of sections that were meant to be heavy and dealing with a serious topic.
Specifically with Pica and he kept forgetting to pronounce the “c” in lycanthropy. I totally picked up on pronunciation too😅
Not to sound morbid, but I got excited when I saw this video was posted. I am currently working on my Master’s for social work. I am in the internship phase of the program I am doing, and I am a intern therapist for children and adults who have mental illnesses. Someone’s mental illness does NOT define who they are. However, it is good to learn about the different types of mental illnesses so a person is not misdiagnosed and put through the wrong treatment.
I got diagnosed with agoraphobia when I was 12 and it’s honestly horrifying every single time I go outside I feel like I might have a panic attack and whenever I feel like I might have a panic attack I begin to feel dizzy and my heart starts beating and it’s horrible
As someone who has struggled with anorexia , I think you described this well. Thanks for this
The most horrifying thing would be to show me someone without absolutely any of these, i know we all go through stuff but i would love to see a study of who or what would be considered the baseline for normal mentally, what chems are correct, how much this person takes care of themselves etc, i think we all wonder what a nornal person looks like when compared to our disability
my dad's the closest thing ive ever seen to someone completely stable, but even he has anxiety, i genuinely have no idea what it'd look like to see someone completely stable
You would be a robot if you didn't experience any of these! The baseline is usually when your symptoms stop you functioning, so it's different for everyone it's why many disorders are on a spectrum. Usually pervasive or persistent symptoms or when symptoms mean you are a danger to yourselves and others are when they become diagnosable. Like experiencing anxiety before an exam is completely "normal" experiencing anxiety to the point where it stops you leaving your home then it becomes non functional or "pathological".
I had an ex who essentially grew up in a Norman Rockwell painting. He turned out weird, but his family was so stable and normal, it made me intensely uncomfortable, like I'd never fit in, because I was so messed up.
They were wonderful to me, it was my own problem. They were really kind, but I had no idea how to function in that kind of quiet stability.
Perhaps “normal “ is an unrecognized condition in and of itself!
My brother has autism and sometimes it’s hard to communicate what he wants but other than that he’s a normal kid well for a 6 year old anyways he likes Mario and normal kid stuff nowadays and sometimes it is hard to live with him because sometimes he can’t understand certain things like personal space which I totally get he doesn’t know any better we teach him or when something he wants is closed or something he can’t comprehend it right but we explain it in a way he understands and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better brother in my life he is literally a ray of sunshine and lights up any room he goes in where there is people best brother ever
