It is so hard to get help for mentally ill children. I have two grandchildren with autism and one with a severe mental illness. The one with severe mental illness was the hardest to one to help. Thankfully, at age 8 now, we have a wonderful psychiatrist that was willing to listen to us and prescribes very high doses of two kinds of medication and our lives are so much better because our little boy is so much better. Early on we tried to get him help and I remember one "professional" leaned over, told my daughter, "He's a great kid, he makes eye contact, do you just need some parenting lessons? We can get that for you." Those were our darkest hours.
I can relate to your testimony completely! I have Schizoaffective Disorder-Bipolar type and have one voice in my head that mostly helps me.I believe it’s what I call the High Divine.Its revealed to me my True Purpose and how I’ll die my glorious death.Protecting others who are weaker from the forces of evil.I trust the High Divine wholly and fully,without any doubt.It reveals things to me about my present life in my dreams,mostly through music/certain songs.Last night my cousin almost shattered MY reality.I concluded through logic and reasoning that MY reality is not based in actual or everyone else “normal” reality.I know it’s the disorder but I can’t and won’t accept that MY reality isn’t real.Ive lived it everyday,medicated and not,for years.My experiences to me are real and did actually occur.Ive taken my experiences and applied them to my life and nothing but great things have happened.Im worry free about everything for once in my life.If I’m wrong then I don’t want to be right.This is my life and I am the MASTER of MY reality.
Just started down the road to care for my grandson,,,their world changed and so did mine,,,loving him just as Jehovah loved me when things went wrong,,,my house has a bed and kitchen for him ,,a place he can call home or his sanctuary ,,it’s been three months, he’s 21 with a life time journey …. I will walk with him with understanding love and care…He’s not alone on this journey …Till death I’ll never abandon him as him an me walk on the road of unknown
Very very sad and beautiful story! Sorry to to hear about your grandson but hearing how strong your feelings are to make sure that he will always have a home and can count on you to be there is AMAZING! May God work miracles for your family and bless your home! Hope your journey is full of love and happiness no matter the situation! GOD BLESS!!!
I've experienced multiple extreme cases of psychosis but my main focus is one saying that I'm a child molester and that I hurt my little sister (which I now know is not true). The thoughts are not going away and I don't know what to do. I think the episode affected me so much that my mind will not let it go and is now conforming thoughts to fit the situation about my sister. My mind is literally trying to make it a reality when there is solid proof that it didn't happen. (I also believed, with everything in me, that my parents raped me. I believed it so much it sent me into a panic attack. I thought my memory was wiped and I didn't remember it.) And in the case of my sister, my head is trying to tell me I blocked the memories out of hurting her. I don't know where else to turn and I am willing to travel to you guys for the brain scanning as therapy. I truly do not know where else to turn. Has anybody had a similar experience or am I alone??
Except from psychosis, you may have a case of pure o. Pure ocd can try to convince you of anything just to cause you distress. Together with psychosis it can be absolute hell.
@@floweryunicorn8888 I think my son my have it. I never heard of it but he is convinced someone raped him (one of his best friends) and he ejaculated in the house and food, he won’t eat anything from the house. He is 19 and refuses to see doctors or help. To him it is very well as he will starve if we don’t buy food from outside the house. Do you have any tips what I can say or how to talk to help him to understand it? He also abuses cannabis. Abuse it very badly
What the fuck. The part where you said you thought someone raped you and your memory got wiped... I thought this exact thought hours ago. How is this possible that I come across your comment? A bunch of weird coincidences like this have been happening to me. It's making me think I have some sort of connection with some higher knowledge or that I'm a psychic or something. And also I had the same thing happen to me where I had voices telling me I'm a pedophile and that thing with my sister. Crazy fucking shit. I'm legitimately freaking out dude.
It sounds like you are having intrusive thoughts which can be caused from the psychosis and OCD. You need to speak to your therapist and psychiatrist about this. If you are doing any drugs including pot get help to get off of it because it makes psychosis get worse and worse. Clozapine is a very effective medication to reduce psychosis and decrease cravings for drugs but you want a doctor that is very experienced with it and insist very slow titration up because it does make you tired and it does have some other side effects but they can be dealt with for sanity.
They need this program in California (in SF, LA, OC, Riverside, and SD Counties) and I'm all in for funding to come from our taxes. We need to consider re-opening public mental health institutions with partnerships with religious groups, private organizations, and non-profit sectors. The amount of homeless people have skyrocketed out of proportion and many of them are mentally getting worse: Neglected by the public, being a 'outcast', viewed as unclean and/or bat poop crazy. Giving them the help, education, and if necessary, medication they need while taking them off the streets and attempting to get them to the point where they can become a working and contributory asset to humanity, in my opinion, benefits the local community as a whole and generally makes it more safer for everyone while raising the standard welfare. Kind of makes me realize just how 'good' I have it. Truly grateful and at the same time thankful for all those that have committed themselves to what I perceive as drudging work insomuch as making the voluntary choice to work and to help mentally sick members of society.
... this... was... +breathes,+ an extremely painful watch. Painful/hopeful, but... painful for enough reasons. A kind of painful that leaves me so unsure of what exactly I am feeling. It may be helpful to have some kind of warning sign(s) of potential triggers before programs so sensitive like this start....
Exactly ! Act on mental illness like we do physical ,, early testing 🙏🏼🙏🏼 To live amidst and thru a loved ones psychosis is a nightmare , the suffering these sufferers “ endure is a tragedy
My main concern is that my mind keep on telling me death is better. It seems to me that my devil is stronger than my angel. I never acted out but plan many suicidal. Afraid I may not survive on my next plan.
Why do Tim's parents not bring him home ? I currently have a homeless friend living with me that is no relative. I could not let him remain on the streets. How can they allow him to live on the streets ? I don't understand this. Does Tim refuse to come home ? Is he on medication ? Perhaps I'm missing something.
You would have to truly understand mental illness before passing such a comment. The loved ones of those with mental illness are usually very frightening to them because we dont see what they see...or agree with what they see and hear. So they leave...
Sometimes people dealing with mental illness, want to live on the streets believe it or not. Theres so much to psychosis and mental illness that is being learned finally. Also, there are times when the family is afraid of there mentally I'll family member. I don't know whether that's the case for this man, bit I'm giving multiples reasons as to why
Phycosis is the most terrible disease on the planet, & all parents & society does, is abandon their babies on the street, as a mother & a young daughter having her third relapse of phycosis, i pray & would sleep on the streets with her, if it comes to that. Society need to wake up before its too late.
Andrew Aguilar what caused your experience ? And I think I’m going through what you did but I’ve been always a very aware person so I don’t think it will get strong as long as I remember who and what I am and it usually stunts the process but again I really don’t know if I have it or I’m just experiencing general anxiety
Christian Lombardi yeah man. I’ve thought I was Jesus twice in a 3 yr period. Both times were around when I was using marijuana the heaviest. And the delusions weren’t just when I was getting high
@@asiaparks7158 it happens from smoking sativa.. You got to smoke pure indica.. like afghan kush, purple kush, northern lights.. specific strains like that that are pure indica.. google sativa vs. indica psychosis
So what is the solution , he is 31 year and still young and need help ? Can someone tell me what is the treatment Is it medication , counseling ? What else ? I could understand that this illness is only be cured at early age May lord help them and guide them for healing , Amen
Agree, what is the treatment ? Doomed to the streets ? How can this be accepted especially for parents in a more powerful position. Are the meducal teams saying " give up"? This is it ? Great for preventative actions, what about Tim who is in his early thirties in today 's breakthrough's , or are they only on paper & can't be implemented? First , let our government shut down all these dispensaries selling poison to our young adults and triggering psychosis!!!
It seems that a voice saying, "Slit your wrists and everything will be okay" has a spiritual component beyond a psychotic break. Maybe? I'm open to consideration of it as a possibility.
This may not help but... As someone with manic depressive psychosis and suicidal tendencies, I tell myself (and others) that nobody can help me. I can't trust anyone, nor do I believe they have my best interest at heart. The only person who can truly help me is me. I have to be the one who wants to live, I have to be the one who decides to try. Sometimes, it's hard and Lonely. Scary and heartbreaking to know I can't rely on anyone except myself, and sometimes, I let myself down. But every morning I open my eyes is another chance for me to try something different. When I have my negative thoughts, they grow loud and block out everything. So, I snap and tell myself I won't be this way. I go for a walk in my neighborhood, watch a comedy movie, play games, read a book, do some yoga or take a nap. But no matter what, I won't give in to my depression. I will not let my mind beat my heart. I don't know if what helps me will help you but, if it could, I'm glad I did something good for you. An important thing I always tell myself is, "it can't stay like this forever. Tomorrow is a new day, a new chance for something better. Even if there's only a 0.00001% chance for a better day, if I check-out early I'll never know what I could have become." Hope this helps.
@@user-yg8jf1zk9e mate thanks so much for taking the time to write this.. i wish you all the best and i know there are more than me suffering out there.. keep fighting the good fight brother... surround yourself with good people as hard as they are to find
I want to cry with you in this point of my life. It's a hopeless hell, demons writhing and lashing against my inner body, trying to escape the husk of my flesh. I don't know what's happening to me anymore
Money from sales of book losing tim should go for caring for tim. His father such a bs making sounds like he cares .. tim still homeless sleeping on street so sad.
My sister is 54 and loves taking care of my mother. It gives her such purpose that her symptoms have become much less pervasive. Our family doesn't have much money, but we make sure she has a fulfilling life with a car and money. She gives back to my mother in spades.
And these who "praises" this Propaganda in here are same team...Like Yelp reviews who gives 5 stars and "Act like fhey don't know you" But are part of the whole thing. How can you all sleep at night knowing that you cause so much agony from innocent people? IS MONEY THAT IMPORTANT? SHAME ON YOU. Well Karma is a bitch, someday you all will ache like they ached. AND This time the Settlement won't be option anymore ITS Prison from 10years - to life sentence.
This video on psychosis is kinda strange in some places by the speakers. Almost feels fake and patronizing/not actual care. I sense evil and manipulation to a degree. Definitely.
I think you just solved the worlds problems. 😂 If only you took the time to educate yourself on brain disorders and how they impact people of all ages.
Dorothy Pierre, although I certainly don't believe that removing drugs from the picture will solve this problem, I also don't think that it's wise to deny the impact they have on these sad stories either. The correlation between psychotic episodes and some level of substance misuse is very well documented and the incidence rate is very high. While drugs may not be the primary cause of a psychotic break in many cases, there are also many for which they are. In both cases - whether a cause or symptom - their exacerbating effect can quickly add devastating complications to an already difficult treatment approach. I am unequivocally for the decriminalization and deregulation of substances, pretty much across the board. However I have also had far too much first-hand experience with cases of mental illness being seriously worsened by drugs, some all the way to an ultimate sad ending. Not all who suffer the former will use the latter. Research clearly shows, however, that if there is access and opportunity than they will probably become part of the equation, and their effects are almost always detrimental to the outcome we would desire for our loved ones and fellow humans.
It is true. All studies show how much THC is causing psychosis abc they keeping opening dispensaries in every corner Please , whomever is deleting my comment, please stop, make me not trust you for uploading this video.
