Schizophrenia Psychosis - Father's Thoughts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 кві 2022
- Hello, Everyone! My name is Stephen. Today's video brings my father's unique perspective on my psychosis, including my delusions about the "war of the gods" and auditory hallucinations in early 2012. This marked the onset of my childhood schizophrenia at age 12. We describe auditory and visual hallucinations and the active psychosis course of my schizophrenia. We discuss psychological testing, diagnosis, recommendations for treatment, psychiatrist report, and duration of hospitalization at Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA.
The Onset of Psychosis: A War of the Gods
The experience of psychosis is different for every individual. In this case, Stephen began experiencing delusions about a "war of the gods" and auditory hallucinations in early 2012 at 12. These initial symptoms marked the onset of childhood schizophrenia.
Delusions are false beliefs not based on reality, while hallucinations involve seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there. Stephen's delusions about a "war of the gods" may have been a manifestation of his mind attempting to make sense of the overwhelming and confusing thoughts and emotions associated with schizophrenia.
Witnessing the Onset: My Dad recounts the initial signs of my schizophrenia, including the "war of the gods" delusion and auditory hallucinations. He shared his confusion and worries as he watched my behavior change and my mental health deteriorates.
Seeking Help: As my condition worsened, my parents sought help from mental health professionals, leading to a series of psychological tests and evaluations. My father describes the challenges of navigating the complex world of mental health diagnoses and treatment plans.
School and IEP Recommendations: My school developed an Individualized Education Program (IEP) to support my academic needs. My father discusses the process of collaborating with educators and mental health professionals to create a supportive and accommodating learning environment for me.
Treatment Recommendations: With a better understanding of my condition, my psychiatrist prescribed a course of treatment to address my schizophrenia and psychosis. My Dad shares his perspective on finding the right combination of medication, therapy, and support.
Hospitalization at UCLA: As my psychosis intensified, I was admitted to the Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA for specialized care. My father reflects on the emotional journey of hospitalization and the crucial role that the dedicated team at UCLA played in my recovery.
A Father's Insights: Lessons Learned and Hope for the Future
The Importance of Early Intervention: My Dad emphasizes the significance of early intervention and diagnosis in managing schizophrenia and psychosis. He shares his insights on how timely treatment can improve outcomes and help individuals regain control over their lives.
Navigating the Mental Health System: My father highlights the challenges of navigating the mental health system, acknowledging the importance of persistence and advocacy in ensuring that individuals receive the care they need.
Building a Support Network: He also underscores the value of a strong support network, including family, friends, educators, and mental health professionals, in helping individuals cope with schizophrenia and psychosis.
Hope for the Future: Despite the struggles, my family and I have faced, my father remains hopeful about my future. He shares his belief in the power of resilience, recovery, and the unwavering love of a supportive family.
Research on Childhood Schizophrenia
Childhood schizophrenia, while rare, has been the subject of ongoing research in recent years. Some key findings from this research include the following:
Genetic factors: Studies have found a strong genetic component to schizophrenia, with children of parents with the disorder at a higher risk of developing it.
Early intervention: Research has emphasized the importance of early intervention in childhood schizophrenia, as timely diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve the long-term prognosis.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): Recent studies have found CBT to be an effective treatment for childhood schizophrenia, particularly when combined with medication.
Family involvement: Family-focused therapy and psychoeducation have been shown to be beneficial in helping families understand and support their children through the challenges of schizophrenia.
Conclusion
The experience of childhood schizophrenia can be a bewildering and frightening journey for the child and their family. By sharing this unique perspective on psychosis, delusions, and hallucinations, we hope to raise awareness and understanding of this rare and complex mental health disorder. In addition, advances in research and treatment options continue to offer hope for improved outcomes for children diagnosed with schizophrenia and their families.

I have been suffering from mental illness since 19 yrs. old. I am now 71. I understand a lot of what you both are talking about. I have been coping well for the last 20 years with much less medication. My psychotic episodes were mostly characterized by delusions with very few auditory or visual hallucinations. I admire both of you. Your father is a real treasure. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Curtis for sharing and your kind words!
You guys are both so amazing. Thank you. I've had depression for years and this brought happy tears to my eyes... not because of the difficulties you've faced, but because of your honesty and kindness. Stephen, I can say I'm not scared of you and I'm praying for more good days ahead.
How did you stick it out I'm 22 now and I feel like it will be impossible to live that long with this
@@Slidehhy It wasn't easy. I lived in a fog like behind glass for years. I just kept clinging to life and each day go a little better. I learned to love myself and that took time but it was worth it.
@@MrCurtishinkle do you have schizo I have it 3 months and idno how I will survive
I am also suffering from Schizophrenia, I was motivated in you both. Its very imformative and Inspiring I can relate in what your feeling with Schizoprenia THANK YOU for sharing with us your knowledge about Schizoprenia I am hopefull that I am not alone in this battle. People don't Understand what we are experiencing through because its very personal and Psychological. Because of it we are miss understood. Like we are very WEAK and LAZY or DULL or TIMID. So people are always Judgemental. They don't realize that we are a victim of DISCRIMINATION . I THANK YOU for giving us a light in this kind of Stima.
What exactly motivated you and what did it motivate you towards?
Your dad, Steve is so great. He just won’t give up on you Stephen that is so awesome.
Thanks for this wonderful series. It's clear, honest, and human. Both of you are inspirational.
Thank you, Casey, for your gracious comment!
I used to be addicted to the idea of suicide, until...I'd rather not say. But in an instant that changed. After that I had the thought, "What if consciousness goes on after death?" The horror of that is in the unending guilt and irreversible consequences, and endless regret I might have had to feel, because suicide is a terrible thing. It hurts the person who does it, it hurts their families, and it hurts our eternal state.
You are a lovely soul, Stephen. Please live out the life you have been given to the best of your ability and with God's help. So many people on this planet have a hard time in life for various reasons.
Things might be hard for you at times in the future. Life is (mercifully) short. Live it with God's grace.
Which god are you speaking of
Bless you for sharing your experience. Your efforts are helping many!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I dont have schizophrenia but I have experienced psychosis. I wouldnt leave my apartment for months, or answer my phone. i thought a group of people were following me and posted up outside my building, calling my phone etc. Even if i had the phone number programmed (like if my friends or family called) i thiught they were somehow using those numbers to call and get me to answer, through an app or vpn or something. It was terrifying. I wish my parents had been this involved and supportive. I wanna hug your dad :) he's awesome !!
What an amazing informative reporting! Brave of both of you for welcoming and sharing everything about this part of your journey and not pushing away anything! Courageous!
Thank you, Gayla, for giving us this courage! You have poured your life into Stephen as his primary therapist over the past 8 years! And we are HERE, ALIVE! Our family would not be here without YOU! Steve
Such a helpful video. So grateful for your willingness and efforts.
I love the chapter brakes and the detailed description.
It’s wild to hear about the medical insurance response. Thank you for sharing that you had to fight the insurance to have them pay for the full two weeks.
I don’t understand why insurance companies make it so hard.
Thank you for your comment!
Thank you! Going through it with my son.
It's criminal that basic mental health evaluation isn't available in a reasonable amount of time to help someone with psycosis. Especially when time is of the essence. 💜
Agreed!!
And that delay was with insurance.! Imagine being indigent. (I’m assuming people with fireplaces have insurance.)
This is awesome. My mom took her life in March and she never shared anything with us. I had no idea what was happening and then I remembered she had depression and anxiety when I was a teenager. I wished she would have talked about her symptoms.
This is so absolutely helpful it’s unbelievable
Thank you very much!
Yes, I agree! You are both inspirational and this is a help to many out in society. God bless you both for this series.
My son got ill in 2003. There was absolutely no help. I had to take him to a psychiatrist that i had to pay 500 dollars at Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado. There were NO PSYCHIATRISTS in our network who accepted children. It was absolutely appalling. The psychiatrist put him on Invega, Seroquel, and another depressant. This began our journey into psychosis hell. He has been in countless rtc's, hospitals and treatment programs. He is now in prison. Thank you for addressing these monumental challenges. If i had more knowledge and proper medical intervention, we could have gotten him the proper treatment. I'm so, so thankful for your videos. God bless..
How is he now
I have a cousin who lives in a mental health facility. From what I can remeber she suffered from delusions e.g. that her father was a Nazi and had been shooting people with a machine gun. This was maybe 15 yrs ago and she went through a dramatic and traumatic period living on the streets in LA and I was the local family contact since her parents and all other family lived literally thousands of miles from us. I wish I new what schizophrenia was back then because that eventually was her diagnosis and I could only understand from both logical and spiritual vantages. God bless you both; one thing if I may as an encouragement that things are subject to change and because Steven is still a young adult one may never know how far he will advance in his recovery ..i.e. in the next several years life may develoop far more expansive in scope both relationally and as a careerist. Steven is clearly an intellegent and self-aware young man.
Steven is such a sweetheart. I have a sister with Schizophrenia who is mean and belligerent while fully medicated. He is fortunate to have such sophisticated and caring parents.
Stephen, your story is inspiring! Thank you and your dad for making these videos. Just over 40 years ago, in the early 1980s, my beloved younger brother, Mark, developed schizophrenia at age 19. At first we thought his symptoms were due to using recreational drugs, so Mark was sent to a drug abuse rehabilitation center for 6 months. For a brief time, Mark seemed to improve. But all too quickly, he descended in psychosis again, this time deeper than ever. Our family was devastated by hearing the diagnosis of schizophrenia. By this time, Mark was 19 years old, and I was 21. I was a college student studying in the education/mental health field. This, plus the mental health organization I worked for, gave me a deeper understanding of schizophrenia than anyone else in my family. What this means is that we fumbled around trying to find appropriate care in a rural area. After several hospitalization, a short list of medications, and a few weeks in a halfway home, Mark was encouraged to live on his own. He received SSI benefits and seemed to manage fine on his own. But soon after getting his own place, Mark stopped taking his medications. I saw the awful side effects from the medications, so I didn't do anything to pressure Mark into taking them. As the years went on, Mark's delusions and hallucinations continued. One night, Mark scared our mom by threatening to kill her. Another time, he thought I was the Anti-Christ and chased me out of the house. When seeing my firstborn for the first time, Mark declared that she was a witch. I love my brother with all of my heart, but we came to agree with the social worker that it was better to create some distance between my growing family and my brother. I carry a heavy load of guilt feelings because of what I feel is negligence of my brother in the last 20 years of his life. Mark and I lived about 20 miles apart. I was extremely busy with my young children. Family members saw him now and then and reported that Mark seemed to be doing well so I stopped looking in on him. None of us had any idea that Mark had developed heart disease, the same disease that took our father from us so early. I got the call one hot day in July. It was Mark's landlord that found him. It took more courage and love than I knew I had to write and deliver his eulogy.
"In the end there's a purpose to life but you'll never know....."
- Jackson Browne
Though Mark's illness disabled and isolated him I believe there was a purpose to his life. His purpose is one that I can feel but can't quite articulate. On one level the purpose seems to have something to do with giving others the opportunity to show compassion. But I also think God used this illness to teach Mark something deep, rich and very personal. It was a thing between Mark and God. And because my thoughts are limited, I bet there are other reasons we can't begin to fathom.
Your story tells me how much medical treatments have improved in the past 40 years. Stephen, I believe that you'll continue to be well and will continue to improve. Why? Mostly because you have been well for over 6 years now. That's fantastic! The longer you stay well the longer you'll stay well. It's like your central nervous system is practicing being healthy. You're strengthening the healthy neural pathways. I have loved hearing the honest story of your struggle and your success. I'll keep watching.
Very educational video with lots of hope included.
Thank you, Rosie.
I just wanna hug you guys, what both had to go through 😢. Steve, you're such a great father to Stephen. I wish you guys all the happiness you deserve ❤
Thank you for sharing your lived experiences. I'm studying mental health and this content is extremely helpful ❤
Wow! Your dad is so knowledgeable!
Thank you Eve! My Dad says thanks too!
You're so lucky to have a father who's supportive! cheers
Thank you!
What an inspiring story. Stephen seems like a very kind and sensitive man
I loved hearing your story. Thank you for sharing. I can relate. I had a psychotic break in 2016 and was diagnosed with acute paranoid schizophrenia. I had auditory hallucinations and lived a very detailed delusion, also which had me in fear for my life. I also believed I was being hunted. I have been too afraid to speak of all the details to anyone because they were so real to me at the time. But like you, my psychiatrists helped me recover and I can see the delusion for what it was now I have recovered. I recently had a minor relapse 6 months ago. Due to extremely high stress entering my life and real people bullying and threatening me. This set me back. What your incredible father says about reducing stress and anxiety is so true. Once I was placed in a prolonged high-stress environment, my delusion began to creep back in. Fortunately, I recognized my symptoms early enough and got medical intervention and avoided a major relapse.
You are both blessed to have each other, I hope it works out well for you both.😊
Such a lovely, compationate and inspiring relationship you two have.
Just found you and think you're both brilliant x Well done for speaking out about Mental Health and Illness xxc
This up close and personal information is so important. It has helped me in caring for my son.
Thank you for sharing this ❤
Thank you two for teaching others
I attended NAMI meetings, as did my mother and there was no help there either. I thank God for the help you received through your excellent doctors. I was part of a schizophrenia support website for years. Most parents experienced the same thing in the very early stages of their children's lives. They were the kindest, smartest, most gentle and good children. They slept well, and were very cuddly. It will break your heart into a thousand pieces listening to the same stories of how much these parents loved their children..thank you for your great work 🙏 🙏
Thank you so much for changing my view on what it's like to suffer from schizophrenia!
😊 You guys are great
I can tell how much your father loves you ❤. These videos are so amazingly helpful when it comes to educating people about mental illness and the struggles that come with that.
I don't remember how I initially came across your channel but I am a relatively new subscriber. I have an interest in mental health & also enjoy hearing other people's stories. I want to say, Stephen, you are remarkable, as is your dad. I can only imagine how hard this has been & how brave you are for sharing. I have no doubt it is making an impact!! Bless you both! It makes me sad to think how young you were when this started but to see you as a young adult, I see you as bright, resiliant and caring. Thank you for sharing. I also hate how insurance often dictates our health care, rather than doctors. So glad you were able to get what you needed. Not everyone has the wherewithal to fight those battles. Wishing you the very best!
Such an informative, moving and helpful video. Thank you. Your videos have a very positive impact on this listener, as well as on many others, I am sure. Amidst so much suffering, even more love is discovered and triumphs.
It’s so nice you managed to get your Dad on here. He’s so caring about you and attentive to what you’re going through
A loving sharing of information to educate people on schizophrenia. God bless you both 🙏
Hi I just found this page and I’m so happy I did. I was truly ignorant on the subject. You really opened my eyes. I am a mental health patient as well as I have CPTSD. I am constantly seeking education and well support and treatment.
Stephan so glad to hear you and your father 🤗🙏 thanks for your insight best wishes.
Thank you & well done to both lovely gentlemen. 🙏
You two are so wonderful! Don't be ashamed of your (or your son's) diagnosis and what other people think. I believe the fear and stigma comes from the UNTREATED mental illness that we see. It's very clear that your family takes Stephen's health very seriously and he is not to be feared.
Keep doing great Stephen, you have a great support system! 💙
Stephen and Steve you are a blessing to the world.❤
Thank you very much!
Thanks for sharing Sterphen! I love and appreciate what you are doing! An ex-girlfriend of mine's dad has schizophrenia. He is such a cool and nice guy. He is an admirable man, who provides for his family. He lives what seems to be a normal life. He was diagnosed and treated years before I met him. He was hospitalized in a situation similar to yours. With my preconceived past judgements about the illness, it came as a shock when I found out. You also seem like a very cool and empathetic guy. I wish you the best in pursuing your goals and dreams, Stephen! You are a good advocate for destigmatizing the illness.
fascinating story. seems like a very supportive father too! thanks for sharing.
As the sister of a sibling diagnosed with schizophrenia decades ago and the mother of an adopted daughter diagnosed with autism and mental illness at age 16 just four years ago, it is interesting to hear your story. I must say you are very fortunate to have been diagnosed a decade ago. These days every delusion would be 'affirmed', psych practitioners would believe you when you say your father is not your father and you could potentially be placed in foster care over that, you would be repeatedly asked and coached to state your 'preferred name and pronouns' encouraging delusional thinking then immediately 'treated' with hormones and surgeries. Not joking. That is the difference between my sister and my daughter's 'mental health treatment'. My daughter has been in the revolving door of psych admissions for years and we have had to litigate for insurance coverage while spending retirement and mortgaging our house to pay to merely keep her alive. Both my sister and my daughter have had both suicidal behaviors and homicidal thoughts. The outcomes have been vastly different, my daughter has been destroyed by the mental health and medical industrial complex while my sister is living relatively independently with support. How times have changed and not for the better. Glad you are supported and doing well through your ups and downs. Thank you for sharing your story. The world needs to understand.
Seems you're not quite awakened yet, keep growing.
Oh my- how horrible. I hadn’t even thought of that twist. You are 100% right - wow. Mental illness is such a struggle for all involved - and involves a lot of truth seeking. And when society quits caring about truth …. Wow …
I’ve had a sister and friends with mental issues in the past …. I can only imagine what that would look like today. I hadn’t even considered the consequences of society on these situations …. I’m speechless. Best to you through this
Hey guys, I love the channel and the content and both of you. The audio wasn't good on this one for some reason; just mentioning it for future reference in case the mic can be adjusted. Keep up the great work!
You are going to help change the world
I had similar headaches and morphine was a complete joke to me. Antidepressant was working well. I had some mental breakdowns, I'm also a catholic. as for now I really do appreciate your videos and I'm grateful that you're sharing your experience.
I had my first psychotic episode in 2018 (age 30) and the main issue was that for months I had no idea it was due to an illness. I returned to faith a year before and the dominant theme, the content of my delusions was religious. I'm not into drugs nor alcohol. I just had an odd approach... understanding of the bible. I took the words as a guidance to my life, not in a common way, like abiding the law (well that also) but by loose connections. E.g. when I was getting myself warm during winter days then in delusions I thought that I'm like st.Peter when he betrayed Jesus. Just because that one thing, getting oneself warm was common in both cases. And that was hurtful since I loved Him. So my mind was making false interpretations of my actions. But also was badly interpreting the bible. E.g. when some prophet (Ez?) was describing a siege of Jerusalem, I was looking for a connection, association to make it happen in my reality, my surroundings, so let's say a specific church became "Jerusalem" and I went there to liberate somebody. Like physically. I hardly knocked on the rectory's door in the morning because I thought that there is somebody imprisoned. I wanted to liberate that person.
And so on I read a bible every day and every day the word had to become alive in my reality somehow. It was highly apophenic / loosely connected.
Wish you all the best and apologizes for my English, I'm from Poland, EU. Stay strong.
Thank you very much for sharing and for watching. It means a lot to me! I hear Poland is beautiful and would love to visit someday!
I am so glade you had all the support you needed to get through all of this without it things might not have turned out as well as they did
Thanks so much for sharing very powerful
Thank you for watching!
I don’t have schizophrenia but i had a psychotic episode in February. My doctor said it was triggered by a recent trauma. I had hallucinations and delusional thoughts about being recruited for secret gov’t mind control. Colors looked strange and bright, like an oil painting - and the sun looked dark reddish-orange, like the tint of a blood orange. I kept hearing a sound, like a blacksmith hammering metal in a hot forge.
I was hospitalized for 15 days and released on a high dose of antipsychotic which i am still on. It is helping a LOT. I gained 15 pounds on it, but just started intermittent fasting and I’m already noticing results from that - and feeling more energetic and happier.
I found you guys by accident and I can’t overstate how much I appreciate what you are doing. It helps so much to hear real stories that i can relate to. And it’s so important to raise awareness like you both are doing because mental illness is badly misunderstood. And I like that you are not trying to hustle people for Patreon money like way too many other mental health channels out there.
Take care. And keep on keeping on!
Thank you very much for sharing and your support! Have a happy and healthy rest of your day!
God bless you for being brave enough to make these videos!
Your dad is great, you are blessed
What happend on the walk? Would be interested in knowing specifics. Love your videos!!! Keep being strong 💪 🙏 💯
We were just talking and my dad realized how ill I was. Thank you for your support!
Plus, I gotta think positive and move forward and now I feel so much better so now I still have my ups and downs but I’m doing a lot better than what I was doing before
It really does take a while to realise the the persistant and resistant nature of delusions. By definition they're something that can't be reasoned with. If they where there really would be much less a problem. The caring relationship really does have to be negotiated and sometime the best a carer can do is show consitant and unconditional care. Eventually the person does realise their carer or loved one can be trusted and is acting in their best intersts. Even if there can't be agreement on everything due to delusion.
Pretty good psych evaluation I hope it helped to some degree. Things are always a mess but good help does help. As carers you show a great deal of love in your willingness to enter into learning about and empowering yourself as perants. Your level of eduction and comprehension really helps, not all carers have that same degree of insight. Stephen you are very lucky that you've had perants that are willing trying to help and understand the your issues. So glad everthing is working out as best they can, and that you Stephen have realised that you can indeed have a fairly full and meaningful life. That you've only had one two week stay is indeed a reflection of how well your peranst have cared for you.
Im hearing alot of praise for the psychiatrist and the medication and not enough praise for the work you did internally. The top of that list is you, the meds help the psych team helped but you did the Work and you did amazing.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Stephen. It should be pointed out, however, that you CAN talk to someone during a psychosis and help them make sense of what it means. Frieda Fromm-Reichmann was able to practice therapy with a number of psychotic patients, as was RD Laing. Unfortunately the current psychiatric establishment cannot conceive the possibility that the contents of psychosis might be meaningful. I wish you all the very best on your journey.
I'm watching this crying. I've been with my partner for two years, and it has really been hard. I just so happened to talk to a friend about what I've been going thru with him, and she just so happens to be a nurse of 18 years. She started talking about schizophrenia. All of the sudden EVERYTHING made sense. I always felt out of control with the situation, and alone. When things happen behind close doors, it becomes almost impossible to improve it. So if anyone is reading this, please talk to someone if you or a loved one is going through anything like this. It's not your fault, or your loved ones. Do research, and try to get help.
thanks for sharing
A loved one of mine has schizoaffective disorder, and was medication resistant. Its been a rough road. Delusional thinking, auditory&visual hallucinations, sleep paralysis, nightmares. And yet she got a Bachelor's degree cum laude and holds down a part time job. We finally found a drug that helps. My heart goes out to all who have this neurobiological disorder.
Two amazing people!
Thank you 💖💖💖
You should have more subs ,very informative videos guys 💯👌🙌
You are a great Dad
I've had psychotic episodes before at the end of the day I'm happy and glad no one got hurt
My brother has that same delusion!
Thank you for sharing
My father was delushional from the time I was a very little girl. Oh the stories i have. Some how I knew as a little one.
Regarding "The War of Gods," where did this psychosis might have originated from?
Was it some book, movie or videogame Stephen read, watched, or played?
I often wonder about the effects on children of religious teachings with emphasis on God vs. Devil.
God protect you
My sons journey started at the end of 8th grade too. He is currently 20. I wish we had doctors as good as you have treatment here is not so great.
What do you have put in place for his future? Incase you are no longer here with him? I think about making my son a ward of the state.
I think the one in one hundred family are here to reveal something to humanity. We are here, we exist.
I stop playing Michael Jackson’s music and stuff and now I feel so much better when I stop playing Aaron carter music ❤✝️❤️🥹
Have you seen the movie A Beautiful Mind ?
Does weight lifting or exercise help in some reason
Stephen when u smile u look so handsome.
Smile more.
And i am wondering when you say" I" you almost always gesture with both your hands on the chest...is it intentional ?
Because it looks cute.
I’m trying to help my adult schizophrenic son and husband get serious help asap. How do I do that?
My husband is very volatile and potentially physically threatening (many times for years) to me for no reasons bcs of delusions he has about past bullies and past bully ex wives that abused him in extreme ways for most of his life bcs he’s 62 years old.
Thank you for your help if you have any suggestions or advice.
❤😢
I get labels. Schizophrenic or Shaman. I don’t get offended by either label, it’s a massive grey area and a lot of it overlaps.
It is really scary for the people in America,who have easy access to weapons,because mental illness can occur in anyone and easily lead to tragedy.
It is a defense against tyranny.
Unfortunately yer both right wow what a heated debate.
I'm surprised they didn't do a magnesium drip for the headache. Chelated magnesium or coffee takes my very rare headaches away rather quickly. Its intersting how your delusional thinking is the same as my brothers. I hope you meet someone soon. You can live a normal life i have known quite a few who have lived a full life. & The clock thing they do with Alzheimer's patients. One man had early onset and his wife a doctor gave him 6-8tbsp of coconut oil unrefined based off of a study. Within a month his brain was heeled.
My paranoia schizophrenic I thought I was seeing devils and demons and God and Jesus and king tut and Michael Jackson And Another ghost’s 😢 And I thought people were trying to flop bodies with me and am scared and I am paranoid schizophrenic and I think people are gonna try to hurt me and stuff I was hospitalized seeing things and I thought my food was being poisoned and tampered with and I wasn’t drinking water and wasn’t eating and I was 93 pounds when I went to the first hospital
Did you resume school
Ive been there. The gods and monsters wont leave me alone either. I had to denounce god and satan cause the torment me so. But I believe I have a creator and they have a plan for me... more delusions.
Actually the God's are still battling, but it's not mental illness. Genetic Trauma can express itself for over 7 generations. It's why drowning is traumatic, the flood😊. We are just having echos of thoughtforms that are all around us. We just can't see them.
And what about the Alien Demon disclosure. I was abducted a few times, was that a delusion. Only time will tell. I take it as Creator made me this way for a reason..
Martyrdom. Witness what we have been shielded from for so long. Truth.😊
❤
Only way to get rid of it is build a relationship with the lord amd get deliverance. Ur under attack and thats a demon. Ive listened to multiple testimonies of ppl with that condition and came to god and built a relationship and got delivered andwas gone for good
Wow, my dad would have just pulled out the belt and told me to walk it off or something.
Alexa got ya 😂
Unfortunately the medical industry is not helping people. They make people think they are crazy and in need of their pharma drugs. It's a business that is profit oriented only on cost of people's health. What really helped me was Dr. Richard Schulze's herbal products when I quit all pharma drugs in 2003. Hiking helped me. Dogs saved my life. Raw plant food helped me on the healing path. The videos by Jiddu Krishnamurti saved me through the panic attack in 2012. Making videos helped me too.
omg, morphine for headache
I can appreciate the even keeled scientific approach to something of this magnitude, however, isnt it possible especially as Catholics, that Stephen's perception of the war between heaven and hell is real yet beyond our senses? Just curious if you've tried bringing him back to holy grounds or even a priest? After all, we wrestle not against flesh and blood...
God bless you both
If what Stephen believes is a commonly held belief it would not be delusional.
Yeah talk about a recipe for having others thinking a exorcist is needed with those symptoms haha.
@@ksho8196How are you certain that I can't read your thoughts?
Bingo , amen
The Sumerian God's and Godeses return to reveal who Jesus is just hang in there
GD insurance companies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a thiamine deficiency..take thiamine called TTFD
Different kinds of schizophrenia but if it works for you it might work for somebody else and it's very cheap to try so person might as well try that while they're working on trying to find out what was causing it
Does this work for drug induced
If your fundamentalist Christians, it’s part of the problem . Too paralyzing and anxiety provoking
Father needs to speak louder and stop sounding like you whispering. Perhaps because subject is sensitive and he doesn't know he sounds like that. The boy is speaking louder and clearer, normal
Thank you
Dad still talks too much. Give the kid a break
The father makes stephen much more guilty by relating the same points over and over again. Terrible!!!!!
No. It’s actually therapeutic to talk about what happened. My son has SZ and we act like nothing happened~I can tell you that’s not a good approach. This is incredible for me to watch and what I have wanted since my son got sick in 2017. He is being treated successfully at a University research program, but we were not involved as I would have liked bc he was 19 when stricken. We don’t handle his illness as a family, and if he has a major relapse we are his sole support😢

Not an intelectual attitude
Did he tell you he feels guilty?
I'd love to fall asleep listening to your dad's voice ,he's got a great voice for Audio books ❤
His father loves camera time and taking charge of his capable son. He spends way too much time and detail on inane points. Again he loves the camera and loves to talk.
Yes he loves his son and it is great he is there for his son but he needs to let Stephen talk for himself.
