  • What is schizophrenia? Schizophrenia describes a scattered or fragmented pattern of thinking. Schizophrenia’s actually a syndrome, meaning there’re all sorts of symptoms that might be associated with it and different patients might experience different symptoms, although the symptoms can be broadly categorized into three major areas: positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and cognitive symptoms.

    I have schizophrenia. I spent most of my teenage years in a mental hospital. Doctors didn't want to treat me at first because i'm too young. The other patients would make fun of me because of my illness. Everything started when i was in a 3 days long unresponsive catatonic state with constant hallucinations. I thought i was dead. I'd see demons and monsters and i felt their touch on my skin. They wouldn't leave. It was neverending. It was hell. Since this day I've been very sick with this illness and was kept in intensive psych care because all i could do was cry until i couldn't feel my face, scream until i couldn't breathe and try to end my life. I thought other humans were monsters too. I thought they wanted to kill me. I thought my mom and my dad wanted to kill me. This illness is hell. I want everyone who has it to know that that medications can help and that therapy can help and that i know it hurts and that you may want to end it all but it will be okay. Even though you don't know it, you're stronger than the monsters in your head.

    I have schizophrenia- I was diagnosed with it when I was 6-7 , at first my parents thought I was crazy because I would talk back to these “hallucinations” but it got worse to the point where I started acted on it -(obviously I was 6 so I didn’t know I had it ) but my mom knew there was something wrong with me when I chased a cat around the house and started talking to it . I went to the hospital a lot growing up and spend most of my life in a mental hospital- everyone would make fun of me and call me crazy at first I was lucky - my hallucinations where just nice things , cats ,friends that I wished I had - but then when I became 12 it started to get really bad - I started seeing demons , monsters , and started to hear loud voices that would speak in deep dark tones. I would always react negatively and scream and shout a lot and so I got bullied even more. I was so scared to the point I tried to commit suicide but this made my life worse when I failed because I was in an even more secure environment now and I couldn’t do much . I slowly started to confront these images and started to become more confident. When I was 19 I was able to leave because I was able to somewhat ignore them more - I still see and hear them and get distracted by them but I got help- my parents and I no longer where in contact I left for school immediately after becuase they decided to neglect me from a young age and they pretended that they where actually there for me . Sometimes I would hallucinate them trying to kill me - anyways flash forward 4 years at age 23 I am now happily married with a beautiful child and is a housewife. I don’t know how my life turned out so amazing it’s quite shocking after all the suffering I feel really blessed

      I have two main voices in my head one loud saying DO THIS AND THIS AND THIS and they other distant telling me other things and they distant voice is always murmuring on and on about "kill them" "your not good enough" "do it" and he loud voice obeys. The loud voice changes into the voices of the ones speaking and will flip and alter the voices so it takes me a minute to understand.
      I have other voices but those will say a few things and leave the loud voice and the distant voice to think about it.

    Last night, my roommate of 3 years now completely broke down and showed signs specifically of disorganized speech and total delusion. I was terrified and emotionally crushed watching him like this. I really appreciate your video, it helped me better understand exactly what I witnessed. That being said, I would also like to say that my roommate has had several concussions in his life and was recently diagnosed with PCS (post concussive syndrome). Since this diagnosis, he has been different and not the same agreeable person he once was. I could begin to see mere thought of his brain being permanently damaged really start to take a toll on him. I believe this brain damage could be a cause for a potential schizophrenia diagnosis, or it at least accelerated his symptoms (he is 21). My roommate is my best friend and one of the best people I know. It is incredibly painful to watch someone you care about suffer and you not be able to help. Thank you again for providing such an educative video, I hope to continue to learn how to best understand and be there for my friend.

    I have a schizophrenic uncle who I live with, he's my best friend and I love playing games with him, before I knew his illness we would always spend time together and be happy, but he lost his job and that got him depressed, he started acting out of the ordinary as he would talk to himself, laugh at nothing, listen to music alot (in my family we listen to music alot when we feel sad and others) and etc, I felt scared and after what I learned I realized he had schizophrenia, I told a few of my friends about this since I never really liked the bad thoughts that symptom would bring up as it would make me feel depressed, some people would bully me about it calling my uncle a maniac and insane, some people would compare me to him and also call me insane, for the people who call people maniacs and other names with schizophrenia, that is completely wrong, schizophrenia is a symptom where people are not themselves and go to a state where they're depressed at times, they don't mean anything they say and do when it affects them, and the way doctors treat them so carelessly is outrageous, my uncle has never been properly treated because of how careless they where, but now he's gladly doing better, to anyone who has this symptom please know everything will be fine, lots of people go through what your going through, you are not alone, you can always get through anything no matter how hard it can be.

    In the last few years of my life I have become friends with several schizophrenic people. In every single schizophrenic friend, I learned there was great physical abuse during the young formative years. Constant physical, mental, sexual, emotional or psychological abuse during their childhood seemed to traumatize all of them....and everything was worse when the abuse seemed to almost always come from the very same people that were responsible for loving them and making them feel safe and cared for. Shame on grown people who abuse their own young innocent blood....i dont think it is a coincidence that my friends who were severly and regularly abused as youngsters, in some way, are schizophrenic ....just my own observation

      I completely agree. ACE's or Adverse Childhood Experiences are thought to play a huge role on whether a person develops schizophrenia. This is also the case for other types of mental illness such as personality disorder. However I would like to ask you to not refer to people as Schizophrenic, but as 'A person with a diagnosis of schizophrenia'. Using the word schizophrenic sounds like it defines who they are, when it is in fact an illness that a person can live with.

      I believe that abuse, neglect, trauma of some sort is the cause in nearly every case. People that have been bruised, harmed by others in some way. The " medical profession " largley fails to see and or understand this. Self inflicted, mistakes, choices, that we make in life. Can also bring about this affliction and symptons characteristic of schizophrenia.

    • @tianasixkiller4771
      @tianasixkiller4771 5 років тому +19

      In these cases, I think it is severe PTSD and possibly a form of personality disorder which serves as a type of coping and protective mechanism for the patient. I also believe that for these patients, those 2 DX should be visited first and thoroughly investigated before attaching the Schitzophrenic label on the patients. I was an N.A. and have come across and cared for many patients who were victims of violent crimes of many kinds and those who had very good lives from good homes without violence having happened to them at all.
      Right off the bat, the victims of violent crimes weather it was sexual, physical, or any other abuse seemed to be okay until something triggered them. This was pre-dx and medication as well.
      Those with a firm dx who had never experienced violence and became non-compliant with medication drifted in and out of classic schitzophrenic and normal behaviors with the schizophrenic behaviors being acute and most prevalent.
      I think that the NIH need to do studies involving these two groups also adding a normal control group for comparison and to understand more about the behaviors of victims of violent crimes v the psychiatric behaviors of properly dx'd schitzophrenic patients.
      I don't believe it is fair to patients and even mentally, emotionally more damaging to them when they recieve a dx of Schitzophrenia.
      I have also personally known family members and friends who have received the schitzo badge following very serious crimes when they were suffering severe symptoms of having been victims of violent crime.
      PTSD can carry many characteristics of Schizophrenia such as seeing things or hearing voices that aren't there during a PTSD episode.
      One family member woke one morning screaming that her violator had been in her room doing vile things at the foot if her bed when she woke.
      She swore he was there. It took me a couple of hours to reassure her he was not, and that he was locked up in jail where he should be.
      Another time we took her to the beach and she swore one of her violators (there were 3. One of them a female,) and was triggered by a woman who looked similar to the violator on her blanket adjacent to us.
      She became panicked and insisted she was there to kill her for telling on the offenders who were more than 800 miles away and incarcerated without bond.
      PTSD is very powerful. For victims PTSD must not be confused with schitzophrenia. That mistake, (and it IS a very egregious mistake that is damaging to the victim,) should not EVER be made. The end.

      you mention clozapine and then go on to talk about D2 which first of all is wrong. Clozapine has no effect on D2, but D4 instead. Also more important it has a high affinity for 5-HT2A serotonine receptors, and that brings us to the serotonine theory of schizophrenia.

      Im schizophrenic and to lose it this is the alternative approach, drop those meds. drink at least 500mg of niacine and tryptophan 5htp everyday trust me you will feel a tremendous change but it should go with fasting. Niacin and tryptophan are not meds but supplements so it doesnt have any side effects. avoid meats, junkfood, and sugar and lose that weight, and don't go on yoyo dieting wherein you get thin, you get fat, you get thin again then you get fat again. it will worsen it. it will just benefit them cause you are giving out bad life force/energy/aura. stick into being thin.
      just eat Vegetables and fruits. your body is a temple. avoid vices like smoking, drugs and alcohol it will worsen it as well. you need a good aura and positive thinking to remove schizophrenia. clean your home. seeing that it's a mess plus thinking your life is a mess will worsen schizophrenia.
      just eat veggies and lose weight you'll feel the difference. you are what you eat. avoid meat and sugar like sodas, and junk food. your body is a temple and eventually in this holistic technique the voices will be limited or completely gone. do meditation and grounding/earthing everyday. this takes discipline and effort, it will not be gone overnight, you need to this for months or years to see results. download GAIA app then type schizophrenia, watch the videos there it helped me a lot. it has a 7 day trial period. what i did was i watched a bunch of videos in there then cancelled my subscription before it reached the 7th day. lol
      A temporary remedy is hum a repetitive short irritating lyrics in your mind, a chorus of a popular song. it will block 70% of the voice that you hear. it will be hard the first two days but you'll get used to it on the 3rd onwards and will become a habit to block the voice thanks.
      again niacin and tryptophan are very important, this is an alternative approach than taking those mood relaxers and medications that will do nothing but to sedate the patients. thank you.

      @napoleonaquino4840 4 роки тому +19

      Stranded73, Hi, if you're hearing voices in your head, like me, you're not crazy as others think you are.
      Unless you suffered from a serious head injury or you're a regular user of meth or LSD, there's
      nothing wrong with you. You belong to the roughly 1 to 5% of the world's population that have
      what is known as a third eye or third ear -the ability to see and/or hear spirits and entities.
      I've dealt with this condition for more than 20 years now.
      Initially I took those pills and did therapy sessions as recommended but I never got better - the
      voices were still there - they came back after my medication wore off. So I did my own research
      and found out about the spiritual dimension of my condition. Medical Science ignores the effects
      of spirits, they only see it as a medical/physical condition, believing that you're just suffering
      from auditory hallucination etc. So clearly they really won't be able to cure you, not knowing what
      the real problem is.
      If you believe in God (I hope you do) then you also know that there are angels and demons,
      wandering spirits and entities etc. They are part of what the Bible terms as " powers and
      principalities " that rule this earth. You might think I'm crazy weird but I'm not. I'm a
      retired Civil Engineer from the Philippines, did some 11 years of service in our government
      in the early 1980's as a water supply engineer. I also visited the USA sometime in 1991 to 2000,
      studied computer programming there and even made it to the honors class. You're not dealing with
      a wacko or a loser. I'm serious, analytical and in good physical and mental health, even
      at my age (63 y/o). At the height of my depression in 2001, I turned to God and the Bible.
      So I'm familiar with its many passages.
      Going back to the topic of spirits, this is what they do. These spirits can talk to us telephatically or by
      using other meduims/people. When you speak to them, they speak back. Some are jealous of others people company.
      They want to isolate you. They like certain parts of your home like your bedroom or bathroom . They can distort
      speech/sound to confuse or anger you. They can imitate your friend or even your enemy's speech.
      They can produce
      other sounds like
      the doorbell ringing, glass breaking, walls pounding, cat purring or even wailing
      police sirens. They can play tricks on your mind. They want you to be dependent on them or afraid of them - to isolate you from others. Some spirits attach themselves to you after you visit a certain place like a cemetery, hospital or haunted house.
      Like people, some spirits are good while others are bad. There's a certain type of spirit called the trickster or joker who is naughty at most like a child. The irony of it is usually it is only you that can hear/see these things. Like a TV channel, they can tune in to your wavelength, while ignoring others. So people think you're crazy. Since the root problem is spiritual, the cure is also spiritual. Go to God and ask for His help/ protection. I hope and pray that you find peace. Stop wasting your time and money on medicines and treatment - they are not permanent cures.
      SOME BIBLICAL PROOFS of the SPIRITS power.
      In the Bible you can read the Tower of Babel episode where the peoples languages were altered. In the story of Gideon, he and his men simply lighted torches and broke jars at night near the enemy camp. Their enemies killed each other !! Great deception by the spirits/ angels. In
      another episode the apostle Paul, on the way to Damascus hears the voice of Jesus Christ, while his companions only hear thunder. At a gathering of new converts, the apostle Peter speaks to a crowd and they hear his message in their own language or tongue. etc

      @falloutgrim4691 Рік тому +9

      @@aishwarshukla5237 the first thing i believe is excepting it as something apart of you not pushing it away and causing internal conflict within your psyche.
      i like to see my way of life and "normal" peoples lives are not so different, we all have our difficulty's in life and challenges that we must endure day to day people with schizophrenia just have problems we only have as the same as other do and it helps me not feel alienated from others.
      another is grounding, its difficult and sometimes impossible to ground yourself into reality even if you know its not real, i know that keeping out stress in my life has helped me hold a strong mental stability from the years and another is a strong internal grounding "key" my name is Chris irl but weirdly ive connected with the name Fallout so much that its more grounding to call myself that and can help with episodes. its important for people with schizophrenia i think, is to do what you need to do to help you not what you think society thinks you should do to help. what matters is your own internal and mental stability and being able to have a footing to gain stronger as a person within the chaos.
      another idk how many people experience this but there will be some so ill touch on it, the allurer of the chaos, i can understand wanting to let the chaos overtake and go completely into the episodes and the hallucinations, over my life ive chased it and let it overtake me many times in my life but its not long term and never could be viable, you don't need to take it out of your life but you must understand that its like a drug but isn't healthy, there is much in life and can truly be worth your time and can be vary exciting, if its other things your chasing then, Pease and calmness can be ok it really can and it toke me a long time to be ok with it, the rage or urges or anything that drives you, the calm and relaxed can truly be a good way of life.
      if you or anyone has any other questions ill gladly answer. i just tried to touch on a broad area i hope touches all reaches of schizophrenia.
      so my last advice is that your all not alone and your all normal to me.

      Im schizophrenic and to lose it this is the alternative approach, drop those meds. drink at least 500mg of niacine and tryptophan 5htp everyday trust me you will feel a tremendous change but it should go with fasting. Niacin and tryptophan are not meds but supplements so it doesnt have any side effects. avoid meats, junkfood, and sugar and lose that weight, and don't go on yoyo dieting wherein you get thin, you get fat, you get thin again then you get fat again. it will worsen it. it will just benefit them cause you are giving out bad life force/energy/aura. stick into being thin.
      just eat Vegetables and fruits. your body is a temple. avoid vices like smoking, drugs and alcohol it will worsen it as well. you need a good aura and positive thinking to remove schizophrenia. clean your home. seeing that it's a mess plus thinking your life is a mess will worsen schizophrenia.
      just eat veggies and lose weight you'll feel the difference. you are what you eat. avoid meat and sugar like sodas, and junk food. your body is a temple and eventually in this holistic technique the voices will be limited or completely gone. do meditation and grounding/earthing everyday. this takes discipline and effort, it will not be gone overnight, you need to this for months or years to see results. download GAIA app then type schizophrenia, watch the videos there it helped me a lot. it has a 7 day trial period. what i did was i watched a bunch of videos in there then cancelled my subscription before it reached the 7th day. lol
      A temporary remedy is hum a repetitive short irritating lyrics in your mind, a chorus of a popular song. it will block 70% of the voice that you hear. it will be hard the first two days but you'll get used to it on the 3rd onwards and will become a habit to block the voice thanks.
      again niacin and tryptophan are very important, this is an alternative approach than taking those mood relaxers and medications that will do nothing but to sedate the patients. thank you.

Cliche as that sounds. Apparently, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia a couple years prior to his death so it wasn’t something I would have noticed in school.

      Hi everyone, so sorry.. I never seen the notifications for these comments. I'm not really sure the extent of the tests for it. I just know my dad diagnosed him. Obviously tests were done.. I just never asked about what exactly those were.
      As far as how my brother is at this point.. he's a tiny bit better. Only because my dad has to literally give him injections of his meds because he wouldn't take his pills. He would do something with them that made my dad think he took them but didn't actually take them. So he has injections now. It's a really sad situation. He's a little more comprehensive and clearly spoken now. But he's got long term issues that meds aren't helping with that we can see. Like, he still will kinda pace and mumble sometimes and has moments where he's not completely lucid? That's the best way I can describe it. However, seems that we can kinda bring him out of that by speaking to him and getting his attention focused on something. Unlike when he was unmedicated he stayed in that state perpetually.
      I appreciate all the concern and inquiries about him. Thank you all so much ❤️

      you mention clozapine and then go on to talk about D2 which first of all is wrong. Clozapine has no effect on D2, but D4 instead. Also more important it has a high affinity for 5-HT2A serotonine receptors, and that brings us to the serotonine theory of schizophrenia.

    I suffered from severe depression I lived with it for almost 5 years. My psychiatrist said that I'm experiencing symptoms of schizophrenia. I'm having hard time talking to other person because I can't build a connection. I can't feel any emotion when I'm with other people but when I'm alone watching on my phone, my emotion is normal. When I was depressed I created a world inside my head where I can scape from our cruel world. I stayed there for a long time until I got confused on the reality of life. Now I look at the world in a different way.

      I USED to have schizophrenia, remember those who diagnose do not beleive in the spiritual they beleive in only what they see. Anyways not going to argue about that. But If you want to see how I beaten it and if you want HOPE to get completely cured. Then watch my video on my page. Its called" schizophrenia no more. (Cured)". I did this video because I'm tired of the world not giving those who suffer from schizophrenia any hope. There is no cure with those who diagnose it because they do not know the truth and don't beleive. Please, I feel for you if you have it and want you to not suffer anymore.

      Heres some good natured, passive aggressive advice for you if you still don't get it. You should avoid treating people like they have a disease that needs to be cured, its condescending and it only furthers the problem.
      Imagine telling somebody they have to be locked away because they aren't healthy and they need to be completely changed into what society wants them to be. Ya it will make everything worse, so just remember that when you go to work to contribute to a system that is using you and its victims for money.
      Sure hospitals do lots of great work, they're built on good people, you seem nice for example. So if you work there you know that not every doctor and business man who walks through the door is a glowing example of humanity. In fact I say the consensus the scientific community has on the subject, proves that most of them are imperialistic and self centered psychopaths who are indifferent to their patients.
      See what I did there, you can make anybody seem like a bad person with the right manipulation, but my lack of authority combined with an over generalization doesn't really make it convincing. In reality, anyone can sow dissent into anybody in any situation with enough mind games.
      This whole video feeds the narrative that you cannot rely on people with so called mental impairments, I am constantly trying to prove it wrong by pointing out these ridiculous snipes, its only a weakness because you convinced everybody it was.

      you mention clozapine and then go on to talk about D2 which first of all is wrong. Clozapine has no effect on D2, but D4 instead. Also more important it has a high affinity for 5-HT2A serotonine receptors, and that brings us to the serotonine theory of schizophrenia.

      Im schizophrenic and to lose it this is the alternative approach, drop those meds. drink at least 500mg of niacine and tryptophan 5htp everyday trust me you will feel a tremendous change but it should go with fasting. Niacin and tryptophan are not meds but supplements so it doesnt have any side effects. avoid meats, junkfood, and sugar and lose that weight, and don't go on yoyo dieting wherein you get thin, you get fat, you get thin again then you get fat again. it will worsen it. it will just benefit them cause you are giving out bad life force/energy/aura. stick into being thin.
      just eat Vegetables and fruits. your body is a temple. You are what you eat. You gotta keep your mind powerful and your body free from temporary gratifications and pleasure. it may not sound related but trust me it is. you will feel the difference. avoid vices like smoking, drugs and alcohol it will worsen it as well. you need a good aura and positive thinking to remove schizophrenia. clean your home. seeing that it's a mess plus thinking your life is a mess will worsen schizophrenia.
      just eat veggies and lose weight you'll feel the difference. you are what you eat. avoid meat and sugar like sodas, and junk food. your body is a temple and eventually in this holistic technique the voices will be limited or completely gone. do meditation and grounding/earthing everyday. this takes discipline and effort, it will not be gone overnight, you need to this for months or years to see results. download GAIA app then type schizophrenia, watch the videos there it helped me a lot. it has a 7 day trial period. what i did was i watched a bunch of videos in there then cancelled my subscription before it reached the 7th day. lol
      A temporary remedy is hum a repetitive short irritating lyrics in your mind, a chorus of a popular song. it will block 70% of the voice that you hear. it will be hard the first two days but you'll get used to it on the 3rd onwards and will become a habit to block the voice thanks.
      again niacin and tryptophan are very important, this is an alternative approach than taking those mood relaxers and medications that will do nothing but to sedate the patients. thank you.

    My sister was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 3 years ago. We had a very close bond, I helped her as I could. About 2 years ago she turned very badly against me, my husband and other members of our family. She is completely under the influence of one of our sisters which is a covert narcicisist. She clearly uses her as a "soldier" to "execute" her evil plans and attacks against some other members of our family (including me). I went no contact to survive and save myself from all the abuse, in one recent occasion I've also been fisically attacked (it is hell). I am more concerned about my sister with mental problems and I don't have the possibility to help her. I don't know what to do. My other covert narcicisist sister has FULL control of her.

    I believe I've heard somewhere that schizophrenic acts differently depending on where you're from. Most people think that the voices people hear are aggressive and dangerous, but apparently in some places the voices are helpful and kind, thus the person have no reason to seek any treatment for it. This might be linked to environmental factors or maybe something else, but it might explain some people in history claiming to know stuff and to be prophets

    I do have one bone to pick, though. As far as I know, the first Negative Symptom you mentioned is more accurately described as "Blunted Affect" in Schizophrenia, rather than "Flattened". Flattened is more suggestive of depressive disorders, whilst Blunted describes a loss of the high and low extremes of emotion, leaving a somewhat ambivalent or apathetic affect.

      Im schizophrenic and to lose it this is the alternative approach, drop those meds. drink at least 500mg of niacine and tryptophan 5htp everyday trust me you will feel a tremendous change but it should go with fasting. Niacin and tryptophan are not meds but supplements so it doesnt have any side effects. avoid meats, junkfood, and sugar and lose that weight, and don't go on yoyo dieting wherein you get thin, you get fat, you get thin again then you get fat again. it will worsen it. it will just benefit them cause you are giving out bad life force/energy/aura. stick into being thin.
      just eat Vegetables and fruits. your body is a temple. You are what you eat. You gotta keep your mind powerful and your body free from temporary gratifications and pleasure. it may not sound related but trust me it is. you will feel the difference. avoid vices like smoking, drugs and alcohol it will worsen it as well. you need a good aura and positive thinking to remove schizophrenia. clean your home. seeing that it's a mess plus thinking your life is a mess will worsen schizophrenia.
      just eat veggies and lose weight you'll feel the difference. you are what you eat. avoid meat and sugar like sodas, and junk food. your body is a temple and eventually in this holistic technique the voices will be limited or completely gone. do meditation and grounding/earthing everyday. this takes discipline and effort, it will not be gone overnight, you need to this for months or years to see results. download GAIA app then type schizophrenia, watch the videos there it helped me a lot. it has a 7 day trial period. what i did was i watched a bunch of videos in there then cancelled my subscription before it reached the 7th day. lol
      A temporary remedy is hum a repetitive short irritating lyrics in your mind, a chorus of a popular song. it will block 70% of the voice that you hear. it will be hard the first two days but you'll get used to it on the 3rd onwards and will become a habit to block the voice thanks.
      again niacin and tryptophan are very important, this is an alternative approach than taking those mood relaxers and medications that will do nothing but to sedate the patients. thank you.

    Thank you for explaining this very subjectively. Most people tempt to give it an obscure side, but this presentation explains the science of it, as it is. I hope we'll learn more from the neuro-chemicals that have a role in the disturbance of the dopamine stimulation. Great video.

    After watching this video, I have come to the conclusion that, based on the information presented, I'm likely suffering from depression, not a form of schyzophrenia. This is a fantastic video. Thanks for posting!
