@@LP-on6kq America is suffering because they’ve embraced evil to its core while entirely turning away from God and this is the result. America wanted a godless society with even worse leadership and that’s exactly what they got.
She looks like a young child and an old woman at the same time. Very articulate, wild to see her so lucid, yet clearly, hearing voice. Absolutely mind blowing.
This girls auditory and visual hallucinations are playing out for everyone to hear, and they sound terrifying. What a devastating thing to witness. I hope Brittany is able to find peace someday.
Combining paranoid schizophrenia, crack, meth and fentanyl addiction, severe childhood trauma and PTSD, it's devastating and difficult to accept that this woman will not recover. It's just too much.
Right? I think she is more than anything a result of a failure of the society and family/communities she was immersed in during her entire life... this is not someone who can just snap out of it and bootstrap and whiteknuckle through it, she really seems like she needs institutional structured robust help probably for the rest of her life
MARK needs get her off of the streets into a Hospital for mental health that way can at least help her to go to step 2...and she would be safe and be able talk to her daughter sober.
when she answered the question "what's the most important lesson you've learned in your life" with not to fall asleep around her family i felt a sense of pure shock that is unique to that moment. i mean, after her story it's a given she should feel that way but to associate it with THAT question broke me.
Right. Imagining a child/person that has never felt safe to even sleep around her family… just breaks me. She has never found rest. She has never had a safe haven. She has never found comfort. Ever.
That was the most intense 13 minutes I've ever watched on this channel, and I have been binging for months on end. Unfortunately, some people don't stand a chance from the moment they're born ... its both heartbreaking and humbling. Thanks, Mark.
Omg. This is soooo sad. She is so hurt, angry, confused , and haunted. When all she wanted was to 'not be a statistic, && be happy'. Heartbreaking. Please let her know there are people out here that are praying for her peace, contentment, and happiness. Keep your head up, Brittany.
@@shojus She uses drugs to suppress her horrible traumas. Think about that. I’m not excusing her behaviors, of course. I’m just asking you to think about it. Drug use that pushes a person to homelessness because they’re trying to suppress trauma is absolutely terrible. Ask yourself why a person would rather be high, homeless, and risk assault/rape/and death every night on the street versus remembering that trauma? I’ve been through some pretty bad things in my life but I don’t use drugs or alcohol, and at any moment, I can remember every detail of those events. Imagine how bad those things she went through had to be that she’s willing to just completely temporarily erase her mind, memories, and personality with drugs. It must have been something fierce. She’d rather be on the drugs and homeless than have access to those memories.
@@leroyjenkins4811 You are responding to me as if I haven't gone through some of the same things she has. It's perfectly fine to have empathy for people, but to act like they don't have a choice to STOP living that life is ridiculous, cause I did just that. I'm speaking from experience, and my childhood trauma was no excuse for me to live the life I did. People need to stop feeling sorry for everyone with a bad childhood and blame the system instead of the person that is actively choosing to stay addicted instead of stopping the insanity and getting help. A lot of these people are lying through their teeth just to get attention, cause I also did that. Sometimes treating full grown adults with kid gloves ain't the way to make any changes, as you have seen with 99.9% of the people on this channel.
@istayfly what’s really sad is your filled with hate and can probably use! more prayers! Your problem is your heart it’s black as hell, and filled with so much hate! God help you!
Her eyes...a clear instrument for detecting her moment to moment tether to either worlds' ongoing conversation. Brighten and dim, frays and mends, see her fade out and back in. This one knocked the wind out of me.
This is fucking heartbreaking. As a psychiatric technician working in an involuntary inpatient facility, I see many like her. I have no doubt she will be in one of our facilities at some point. Praying for her.
@@TruthHurtsSoGetAHelmet it's not demonic possession, it's mental illness and/or poly substance abuse. They typically go hand in hand. This to me appears to be schizophrenia, but I'm not qualified to diagnose.
@@TruthHurtsSoGetAHelmet there is only one psychiatrist that is convinced of this and he gets no support from the other drs so he is on his own now. i forget his name but try and find him. i truly believe that most psychiatric cases are demonic possession. it seems to be demons telling the person to kill themselves and everyone hears the same things over and over so it cannot be a coincidence. medication just quiets the voices, it doesn't solve the main problem which is evil spirits trying to drive you crazy enough to kill yourself. my son went into a psychotic state after taking too much drugs and SAME VOICES SAYING THE SAME THINGS. luckily, he recovered and quit the meds right away. those meds are poison but i can understand the benefits. taken for more than a month changes a person physically and mentally. psychiatry wants NOTHING to do with CHRIST, it's all medicine-based 100%. spiritual problems are not given any weight whatsoever in north america. surely done by design. they are keeping people sick out of obedience to the rothchild/rockafeller medical system and to keep bigpharma reaping in the profits. everyone seems to be on antidepressants. musk's NEURALINK is next. we are going to be told that with this in our brains we can be GODS and never get sick, etc. mark of the beast it's looking like.
@@TruthHurtsSoGetAHelmethere are a lot of things that can go wrong in the brain, like any other part of the body. It can happen to anyone, given the wrong set of circumstances. I’m not an atheist or a reductionist, but there is an interplay of factors that cause these conditions. They may leave people susceptible to negative influences on the spirit, but it’s not as simple as getting the demons out of someone suffering like this.
This is beyond sad. When she long paused & spaced completely out & said “ya okay, I’m okay” it reminded me of that weird interview moment Britney Spears had with Diane Sawyer. As if they were communicating or hearing voices we cannot. Very strange. Very very sad. Praying this woman’s mind & heart & soul, finds peace, healing, & happiness.
@@ceeaitch11 the things she was saying during those times weren’t related to anything asked. She clearly seemed to be listening and responding to someone that wasn’t there
@@ChrissyCupcake I guess MK Ultra must be experimenting on everybody in Kensington, Camden, and Trenton. They all sound like this. Couldn’t be mental illness and prolonged drug use, gotta be a crazy government conspiracy.
Thanks for sharing this with us Mark. Devastating a society that in the last decade can spend trillions on unwarranted overseas wars, can leave society’s most vulnerable to fend for themselves on the streets. Hope she is given the help she so desperately deserves.
💚 when mark asked what’s your biggest regret in life… the way she looked up and square in his eyes- was haunting… I wish her health healing and peace and someone to beli take care of her
You can see when she starts arguing with herself and then remembering she's not alone so she has to hide it. This poor girl never had much of a chance. Even if she hadn't found drugs, she's been used and screwed over by everyone she's ever been supposed to be able to trust. And with obvious mental disorders to boot. I feel horrible for her, but what mark wants to do here is show everyone that there are hundreds of thousands of ppl like her or ineven tougher situations out there that need help, and nothing will change until we, as a nation, all together, invest more in the health/mental health of our people. Getting kids out of homes like hers was and adults like her the help they need
With just a brief interview, and in her condition and with her lifestyle, it’s really hard to tell if she’s schizophrenic or just in a drug induced psychosis, of which may or may not be permanent. Also in her condition, we really do not know if the abuse she discusses being done by her family was true, it could be an imagined trauma by a paranoid schizophrenic or one in psychosis. She definitely needs help tho, and was hearing voices thru her interview:(
Most people who are in her situation have been abused… the drugs are their coping tool. It’s really hard to see someone in her state of psychosis… hoping it is drug induced and that her brain 🧠 still has a chance to return to normal if she got some sleep, nutrition and off the drugs.
I was kind of thinking the same, it seems that the sunlight exposure from being homeless and the drugs may have fried her brain a bit too much happened to my ex was a sad thing to watch happen
This is my now ex boyfriend. It’s sad. I don’t know if it’s schizophrenia, drug induced psychosis, all of the above. I had so much patience and empathy. But he attacked me in my sleep last week because he thought I poisoned him. His first court appearance is today. It’s so sad but he doesn’t believe he has any delusions. I can encourage therapy all I want but it’s something I can’t help with and will only hurt me if I stay. It’s heartbreaking seeing people like this. And dangerous to have them walking around freely.
@@MazingerZ379, Aaahh bullshit, when I was fuking and hit rock bottom , i was the one that made the change, no healthcare, no bullshit , when I saw myself incarcerated there's when shit got real, I seek help, and got help, no outer force or anyone else did anything for me.
As someone with cptsd i can understand whats happening. Shes having flashbacks. Drugs can induce hearing voices. It happens to me too, even sober sometimes, sometimes if I use too much weed it can trigger it too. You literally hear your abusers in your head almost like thoughts that arent your own. Its partially like auditory hallucinations, i think the drugs amplify the hallucinations making them seem even more realistic thats why the back and forth. She must have suffered severe abuse and molestation and sometimes the angry person who comes out is actually the abuser not the "host" person. Its complicated and impossible to explain unless you experienced it yourself. :(
Pretty much why I don't do drugs anymore except for alcohol. The weed is to strong and sets me off, meth just pushed me over the edge. I stopped heroin cold turkey about 5years ago right before fetty came in strong.
Wow what a heart breaking interview, probably the most shocking one I have seen on here. I can't believe that Brittany is 30 years old and has not had any help or treatment/support for her mental condition. She should not be out on the streets.
And then the weight if the question seemed to hit her so hard that she retreated back into her mind and displayed the most intense bout of dissociation and hallucinations of the whole interview. That moment got me good.
Brutal, this hit real hard. The fact that she uses to forget, and that this state she’s in feels better than her reality? Jesus…tbh I hope she experiences peace of some sort before she dies. Even if it’s drug induced. No one should have to live alone inside a mind as traumatized as that.
I haven't cried in a long time 💔 if you're reading these comments you are not stupid... the world is on a negative slope.. many many people out there that also see this...I promise you are not alone. you can move in a positive direction in this negative world.. it's possible my freaking heart man!! I will never forget this..I wish the best for you.. I've never commented really before but mark you connected two lost souls... if you do read this if all i can do to help is say your not alone I will a millions time over
How can you promise something you could be wrong about? Im asking in good faith by the way, just trying find some answers for myself I suppose. Thank you
@@brittanyream9872 no worries, the way I see it I guess is Reassurance from another that feels similar is better then a off-putting comment from somebody that doesn't relate or understand if your referring to the world moving in a negative direction comment I made that is true now I'm not going to confirm a statement like it's completely coming to a end because I can't do that. And wouldn't help but I can say that the slope isn't uphill, I feel that in my heart. now maybe I can't speak for everyone but I know we arnt the only two and that's worth reaching out.. no I'll will in This at all either thanks for reaching out
As clear as day, the link between childhood trauma and drug use to cope with the trauma. This poor woman has severe CPTSD... and I'd waver that those moments during the interview where she says "i'm okay" are a form of dissociation. This poor woman's personality is completely fragmented and dissociated. Probably should have let her leave during the interview when she wanted to tbh.
What would you say to the Drug Addicts that grew up in a wonderful home with love and support . Who still become Drug Addicts? Are they to blame for their addiction ?
@Christopher Conwell You're comparing apples to oranges mate. All I'm pointing out is that people with huge trauma like this turn to substances to merely cope. There are other reasons why people become addicted to drugs yes, but does that deem my prior point invalid? Clearly not.
@@christopherconwell7271 No I am absolutely not. I am a psychologist and work with people like her, and I'm confident in my understanding of mental illness, drug abuse, and their bi-directional relationship. Most people who were abused struggle with some form of self-destructive behaviour, whether it's substances or self-harming.
@@christopherconwell7271 seems like she has some type of drug induced psychosis brought on by abusing drugs/substances to cope with severe childhood trauma. this type of thing actually is not unusual with severely traumatized people. much different situation compared to someone who just took up the habit because they could ok.
OMG Mark, I hope you helped this girl out man. That’s probably too 5 saddest episodes you’ve uploaded on here. I pray she gets the help she deserves to get out these streets and recover from her mental illness
There's no helping people this far gone. At least 99.9 percent of the time? Would you offer anything to help this person? Thoughts and prayers are for people that want to feel good without effort
@@SarahSlackand prayers. These people are just lost sadly. I pray for all of them. One day they'll see and deeply regret it and think if ida only believed. It will be to late though. I just think why when all you have to do is ask for forgiveness repent of your sins and ask the lord to save you but sadly these people are too full of themselves, their ego's to big. I'd rather die believing and it not be real than die not believing it and it being real. Just think about that. What do you have to lose? Ill tell you. Nothing but you have everything to gain...
The platform that demonetizes this work is mad. This is one of the best channels here! I learned so much ... without any teacher! I learned from the experiences of others. This channel might not flush monster-advertising money to UA-cam, but SWU and several other quality channels which often may be not of huge value commercially definitely keep me staying at UA-cam. If there are only fake reviews for Chinese junk products or Cindy's beauty hauls, I will leave.
My sister works with people like this. The homeless, drug addicted, mentally disturbed and emotionally traumatized people of our city. This series has given me real insight into what she sees and deals with on a daily basis. I don't know how she maintains her own mental/emotional health. It would break me.
My heart reaches out to her, she had too much of a harsh upbringing, and is a sensitive soul. It is so difficult to put into words the trauma she has suffered. God I hope she finds shelter from the storm.
I knew a family that was in type of family she described in the beginning. We called them "mountain folk" in Ohio. Total backwoods dysfunction, which led to heavy addiction. Usually alcohol. It's brutal see it happen in real time. I have to light a candle for this woman, her brain broke in childhood. You can see it, man.....this is tough. I have childhood PTSD, and I know a lot of us chase a fix....any fix.
I used to visit my best friend in brown county OH as a child. Her mother was from there and she left NY when her dad died. First time I witnessed that backwoods dysfunction 😞
This will probably be an unpopular opinion but as much as I respect Mark & his work, I think he should've let her go the first time she stood. Never mind the second when she said she was done. Felt a bit pushy & exploitative to me
i agree and felt it would also be an unpopular observation - it felt a little desensitized and disregarding her wish to shut it down, as if her needs didnt matter - which is a pattern of abuse she seems to have experienced by others - all misuse of power (imbalance) no matter how subtle is further traumatizing for people who have suffered.
It does shine light on meth abuse and mental health issues,and I won't be liked for this,but I honestly think a lot of what she said was untrue,but she believes every word of it to be true,and to have happened.
Wow. I feel empathy for what she's been through and going thru Poor soul. I hope she is in there somewhere I really hope she accepts the help she So desperately needs. 😢
Mark, these videos continuously show why we need more time for people, time to understand, time for love, compassion, consideration & empathy in this world. God bless her & her future hopefully we can have some updates please ! 😔🙏❤️
Not sure why but 6:12 really struck me when she dismissively says "I'm not a murderer, leave me alone" and moves on. She is clearly so tired of dealing with these terrible hallucinations but shows true character and resilience in dealing with them.
Being a witness (hearing what of her story she can put into words as well as seeing the effects of) to humans who have known nothing but unspeakable trauma, and are still here, makes me feel like I am on sacred ground. 💯 In awe. Humbled. Unexplainable love.
Wow- we have the same name and age and we both have an older sister and younger brother. It never ceases to amaze me how one’s upbringing and mental health directly correlate to their future. Wishing her the best. Hope she can get some real help. Mental health issues are so real.
My god I’ve never wanted to help someone more. I grew up in a psychotic abusive family too- I just got extremely lucky not to fall into addictions. I’m sending her so much positive energy. I believe they brainwashed her. Britney if you read this, I believe you!!
Certain drugs will ABSOLUTELY turn your brain to mush!!! My Aunt fried her brain with Crystal years ago, died with a needle in her arm, clean for "10 plus years". If you asked her Lol sadly her son was never taken so he got to find her dead body with a needle in her arm after being dead for 3 days..... thanks Mark!!! Hope you're well man.
Wow Mark..... This one hits. Poor, poor girl. And what's sad, is, as delusional as she is, you can tell there is SOME truth to her story and she has zero coping skills. Very sad. I pray for her.
Just as an fyi, there is no “team”. Mark has an assistant, Lauren, who helps him when he travels; but other than that, the sole producer of this channel is Mark Laita. Mark does what he can and he’s commented that he’s walked hundreds into rehab but they walk out soon after. The main hope for this woman would be if a family member saw her here and came to rescue her. Mark doesn’t have the legal authority to force her into treatment which is really what she needs. I agree it’s a heartbreaking situation. 💔
This one was so hard to get through, all of them are but damn!!! I still see the 12yr old child and now she’s a damn haunted, hurt severely abused 30yr old that is still being failed by everyone around her. 😔😢😢💔💔💔 someone recently asked me why I watch this channel and am I enjoying it; I think I watch this bckz it’s the TRUE SIDE OF AMERICA AND WHAT’s THE REAL PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY. When I realized she was responding to voices in her head, I got so sad and thought of Amanda 💔😔😢 I hope she gets the help and healing she needs.
I've probably watched a hundred of these SWU videos over the past week or so. I watched this one about 5 days ago and cant get i out of my head. As someone who is schizoaffective, was formally a homeless drug addict, and had suffered sexual abuse. This video has haunted me. I have seen video of myself during one of my episodes and it is very similar. The ending where she talks about what lesson in life she has learned, just ripped my heart in two. Having gotten off the streets, cleaned up, and having my schizo and PTSD at a semi-manageable level my life is a lot better now. I wish i could reach through the screen and hug her and tell her that there is hope. My heart truly goes out to this young lady.
Just read through the comments and kinda surprised to see that no one has mentioned schizophrenia. I'm not a doctor but it seems pretty obvious to me that she suffers from it. I hope she gets to a place where she wants to recover.
Can't diagnose schizophrenia if drug-induced psychosis isn't ruled out. Her psychotic symptoms are likely caused by her drug use and her childhood trauma.
@@shojus no you're probably right I don't know what I'm talking about assuming my diagnosis without ruling out all other possibilities. I will try not to let it happen again.
My first thought too watching this. She's doing drugs, but she doesn't seem the same as other long term drug users I've seen on this channel. One thing is for sure: she desperately needs to be in care so qualified people can diagnose and help her. Right now she's in a chicken and egg situation, and a professional needs to figure out which is which before she can be helped.
Obviously very very mentally ill and not living in reality, probably schizophrenia made worse by drugs, sex abuse, prostitution, and just overall bad choices. Probably lives in this fantasy world so she doesnt have to remember what shes went through, i hope she gets the help she needs.
The most heartbreaking video I’ve watched yet… Sending my prayers & love over to Brittany and all other addicts that are still struggling. You are loved by so many people that don’t even know you
omg!! I was in floods of tears watching this one 😥😥Poor Brittany! she looks so lost! it was heartbreaking when you realise she is hearing voices💔I hope Mark and his team are able to help her out. The mother in me just wants to hold her! Poor lady
Mark you do such a good job at humanizing this class of people What people don’t realize is how most of the people with life threatening drug addiction are barely hanging on, they classify them as ‘’those’’ people and until one walks a mile in the shoes of another they will never understand the pain and trauma most of them endure, whether they participate in their own trauma or are subjugated by it they are still children of god that deserve basic respect and love, and mark you not only provide love and respect but draw awareness to the need for it as well. God bless you sir😊
I could feel Brittany's overwhelming pain. I feel so very bad for her and pray that her life will be transformed for the better. She deserves a huge break.
This story is so sad. I can't say I know exactly what she's going through but I can more understand on why she uses, so she doesn't have to deal with the emotions of all the trauma she's been through. I've dealt with a lot of stuff, but not to the extent Brittany has gone through. A lot of people who have mental illness use drugs like myself
This was great. Before anyone takes off on just those words, I have done max alcohol and drugs. Although I'm straight over 30 years now I could follow her thought patterns and understand her all the time. The get up and walk off was classic and really made it. Best wishes to you Brittany. Start cutting back on the dope. Just do less. I know. Do less next time anyway. Get back to where you were and work on you there. You are a good girl. Love you. Be cool. Thank you Mark.
Thats a tormented soul 😢 Lots of people could easily say thats what she gets for the drug use or whatever, but I think with all the trauma this could go very quickly to suicide for this woman. Praying for her. God loves her the same as He loves me. If it weren't for His mercy there I could go also. This one will lay heavy on my heart for quite a while.
Sending angels of protection to Brittany. May she be guided to the light and brought peace over her soul. May her pain be taken away from her and let her healing begin. ❤
Wait, where were these angels when she was a little girl and her siblings and cousins were ass-r*ping her? Are the angels like divine firefighters who hang out at the angel station until the alarm goes off, then they slide down a pole and hop onto the protection truck?
This is why our homeless are homeless. Drugs are a way to numb the pain of hopelessness. They get caught up in a viscous circle. Then we wonder why people can't function. She is one of the most I'll person you have interviewed. I thank you MARK.
I am not a doctor but I have several people in my life who are either Schizophrenic or Bipolar with Schizophrenic behaviors, and after having hours and hours of conversations with them I can tell you Brittany sounds like she is suffering from one or both disorders. It could be caused by her use of Meth combined with her horrible childhood traumas. If so, stopping the use of the Meth could greatly improve her symptoms. We desperately need better care for people in this country suffering from mental health issues!!! I truly hope this young woman finds peace and joy in her life. Cheers
Bipolar isn’t like this. I get the impression her hallucinations don’t end, whereas a BP1 would have a month or so of symptoms (when manic), and then go back to normal
@@cov9445 Yes, that is my experience too. Schizophrenia seems to be what she is suffering from, but that could be brought on by excessive Meth use. I have seen people who were up for 6 days out of their minds, talking to people who aren’t there and, though it may sound like a cliche, taking apart electronics in their homes and vehicles because “ they are definitely in there and certainly listening and watching everything” 😱 No matter what is causing her symptoms she definitely needs and deserves the best medical care possible!! Cheers
My heart just hurt so much for her. I cannot even fathom the abuse she received from what should be her safe place and loving family. I wish her peace and I desperately she gets help at some point
Wow Mark this video was a hard one to watch, she needs to be in a mental health facility. So sad ppl like this r just left to roam the streets hallucinating and full blow psychosis. Nothing anyone can do unless they agree to go, commit a crime, can't 5150 them unless they harm themselves. It's heartbreaking! Idk how you sit so composed through some of these interviews. Any updates on Brittany recently?
She definitely has other conversations going on in her head that we can't hear. She needs mental health treatment seriously. It's so sad because these are the kind of people who can't make these decisions on their own. She is a perfect candidate to be taken into treatment, willing or not, until the right diagnosis & meds are found. Instead, we just hand them food stamps & maybe a check. The money could be better spent in treatment & she might eventually be able to work & take care of herself.
It should concern all of us that we still live in a nation where people like this poor woman are tossed out into the street, rather then being in a safe place getting the help she so desperately needs.
The fact that she said she thinks she was brainwashed by mk ultra and is wearing a stranger things hoodie. Mk ultra is what the girl in stranger things went through as well as her mom
It's very sad to see someone in that condition. She needs a lot of professional help for her mental health problems and her addictions. She won't get it on the streets though and she probably won't seek help on her own. Prayer is the only thing to do for her. I do pray she'll have an intervention to save her life.
“ I wouldn’t change anything I’ve done. I would change what others did to me”……… wow that was a heavy statement.
Yea drug addicts are great at having zero accountability while being a complete victim.
😮heavy
It is a heavy statement.. but she also takes no responsibility for her actions and herself.
@@aloysiusdevanderabercrombi470 She likely has schizophrenia and lives on the street. Give her a break. Good god.

There's some disease that makes people age rapidly, it's called progeria or something like that. She looks like she has a touch of that
This girls auditory and visual hallucinations are playing out for everyone to hear, and they sound terrifying. What a devastating thing to witness. I hope Brittany is able to find peace someday.
Help and peace..
Combining paranoid schizophrenia, crack, meth and fentanyl addiction, severe childhood trauma and PTSD, it's devastating and difficult to accept that this woman will not recover. It's just too much.
Wow
Right? I think she is more than anything a result of a failure of the society and family/communities she was immersed in during her entire life... this is not someone who can just snap out of it and bootstrap and whiteknuckle through it, she really seems like she needs institutional structured robust help probably for the rest of her life
You nailed it 😳😞

Demonic possession is real.
@@TruthHurtsSoGetAHelmet it's not demonic possession, it's mental illness and/or poly substance abuse. They typically go hand in hand. This to me appears to be schizophrenia, but I'm not qualified to diagnose.
@@TruthHurtsSoGetAHelmet there is only one psychiatrist that is convinced of this and he gets no support from the other drs so he is on his own now. i forget his name but try and find him. i truly believe that most psychiatric cases are demonic possession. it seems to be demons telling the person to kill themselves and everyone hears the same things over and over so it cannot be a coincidence. medication just quiets the voices, it doesn't solve the main problem which is evil spirits trying to drive you crazy enough to kill yourself. my son went into a psychotic state after taking too much drugs and SAME VOICES SAYING THE SAME THINGS. luckily, he recovered and quit the meds right away. those meds are poison but i can understand the benefits. taken for more than a month changes a person physically and mentally. psychiatry wants NOTHING to do with CHRIST, it's all medicine-based 100%. spiritual problems are not given any weight whatsoever in north america. surely done by design. they are keeping people sick out of obedience to the rothchild/rockafeller medical system and to keep bigpharma reaping in the profits. everyone seems to be on antidepressants. musk's NEURALINK is next. we are going to be told that with this in our brains we can be GODS and never get sick, etc. mark of the beast it's looking like.
@@TruthHurtsSoGetAHelmethere are a lot of things that can go wrong in the brain, like any other part of the body. It can happen to anyone, given the wrong set of circumstances. I’m not an atheist or a reductionist, but there is an interplay of factors that cause these conditions. They may leave people susceptible to negative influences on the spirit, but it’s not as simple as getting the demons out of someone suffering like this.
@@TruthHurtsSoGetAHelmet it’s mental illness.
This is beyond sad. When she long paused & spaced completely out & said “ya okay, I’m okay” it reminded me of that weird interview moment Britney Spears had with Diane Sawyer. As if they were communicating or hearing voices we cannot. Very strange. Very very sad. Praying this woman’s mind & heart & soul, finds peace, healing, & happiness.
Yea this was sad to see her answering voices that weren’t there. I can’t even begin to imagine what that’s like.
or maybe she was just thinking of her upcoming answer
@@ceeaitch11 the things she was saying during those times weren’t related to anything asked. She clearly seemed to be listening and responding to someone that wasn’t there
@@ceeaitch11 no it’s very clear throughout the whole interview she was talking to someone or something that we couldn’t see or hear.
Something tells me that this girl is speaking far more truth than most of you are ready to accept.
@@baublesanddolls Typical comment from an adult who still plays with dolls...
Exactly. People forget about mk ultra
@@ChrissyCupcake I guess MK Ultra must be experimenting on everybody in Kensington, Camden, and Trenton. They all sound like this. Couldn’t be mental illness and prolonged drug use, gotta be a crazy government conspiracy.
🤓👆
I guess you'd better repent before the end of the world and hide from MK Ultra before he brainwashes you too
Thanks for sharing this with us Mark. Devastating a society that in the last decade can spend trillions on unwarranted overseas wars, can leave society’s most vulnerable to fend for themselves on the streets. Hope she is given the help she so desperately deserves.
💚 when mark asked what’s your biggest regret in life… the way she looked up and square in his eyes- was haunting… I wish her health healing and peace and someone to beli take care of her
Oh Mark. Thank you for your patience with her. She is hurting and so confused. My heart aches for her.
You can see when she starts arguing with herself and then remembering she's not alone so she has to hide it. This poor girl never had much of a chance. Even if she hadn't found drugs, she's been used and screwed over by everyone she's ever been supposed to be able to trust. And with obvious mental disorders to boot. I feel horrible for her, but what mark wants to do here is show everyone that there are hundreds of thousands of ppl like her or ineven tougher situations out there that need help, and nothing will change until we, as a nation, all together, invest more in the health/mental health of our people. Getting kids out of homes like hers was and adults like her the help they need
Wow, she is up there with Amanda in terms of urgent mental health support needed.
With just a brief interview, and in her condition and with her lifestyle, it’s really hard to tell if she’s schizophrenic or just in a drug induced psychosis, of which may or may not be permanent. Also in her condition, we really do not know if the abuse she discusses being done by her family was true, it could be an imagined trauma by a paranoid schizophrenic or one in psychosis. She definitely needs help tho, and was hearing voices thru her interview:(
Most people who are in her situation have been abused… the drugs are their coping tool.
It’s really hard to see someone in her state of psychosis… hoping it is drug induced and that her brain 🧠 still has a chance to return to normal if she got some sleep, nutrition and off the drugs.
Sadly, more often than not, it's the truth.
I was kind of thinking the same, it seems that the sunlight exposure from being homeless and the drugs may have fried her brain a bit too much happened to my ex was a sad thing to watch happen
@@tinam761
Another PhD in psychology Bullshido thanks Tina much appreciated
This is my now ex boyfriend. It’s sad. I don’t know if it’s schizophrenia, drug induced psychosis, all of the above.
I had so much patience and empathy. But he attacked me in my sleep last week because he thought I poisoned him. His first court appearance is today.
It’s so sad but he doesn’t believe he has any delusions. I can encourage therapy all I want but it’s something I can’t help with and will only hurt me if I stay. It’s heartbreaking seeing people like this. And dangerous to have them walking around freely.
The lights are on but there is no one home. It is sad to see people with mental illnesses in such a state of progress and without medical treatment.
Welcome to America
@@martintaylor984 Although I am 100% anti-Woke, I must say that I believe that healthcare should be a universal right.
She’ll be alright, she just needs to sleep and quit the uppers
She would be a totally different person if she stopped using drugs. Always saying mental illness is a cop out...
@@MazingerZ379, Aaahh bullshit, when I was fuking and hit rock bottom , i was the one that made the change, no healthcare, no bullshit , when I saw myself incarcerated there's when shit got real, I seek help, and got help, no outer force or anyone else did anything for me.
As someone with cptsd i can understand whats happening. Shes having flashbacks. Drugs can induce hearing voices. It happens to me too, even sober sometimes, sometimes if I use too much weed it can trigger it too. You literally hear your abusers in your head almost like thoughts that arent your own. Its partially like auditory hallucinations, i think the drugs amplify the hallucinations making them seem even more realistic thats why the back and forth. She must have suffered severe abuse and molestation and sometimes the angry person who comes out is actually the abuser not the "host" person. Its complicated and impossible to explain unless you experienced it yourself. :(
Pretty much why I don't do drugs anymore except for alcohol. The weed is to strong and sets me off, meth just pushed me over the edge. I stopped heroin cold turkey about 5years ago right before fetty came in strong.

Hope Mark gets her into a Hospital and they can help her stabilize
Wow what a heart breaking interview, probably the most shocking one I have seen on here. I can't believe that Brittany is 30 years old and has not had any help or treatment/support for her mental condition. She should not be out on the streets.
True, however there are thousands in the same boat as her, very unfortunately.
Sweet Jesus, that was a hard and tough one...
Her face, while answering to the "what's your biggest regret ?" question... heartbreaking 🥺
And then the weight if the question seemed to hit her so hard that she retreated back into her mind and displayed the most intense bout of dissociation and hallucinations of the whole interview. That moment got me good.
Brittany. My heart is breaking for you. As a mother who has lost two sons to addiction, please seek and accept help. It’s never too late until it is.
Brutal, this hit real hard. The fact that she uses to forget, and that this state she’s in feels better than her reality? Jesus…tbh I hope she experiences peace of some sort before she dies. Even if it’s drug induced. No one should have to live alone inside a mind as traumatized as that.
I haven't cried in a long time 💔 if you're reading these comments you are not stupid... the world is on a negative slope.. many many people out there that also see this...I promise you are not alone. you can move in a positive direction in this negative world.. it's possible my freaking heart man!! I will never forget this..I wish the best for you.. I've never commented really before but mark you connected two lost souls... if you do read this if all i can do to help is say your not alone I will a millions time over
How can you promise something you could be wrong about? Im asking in good faith by the way, just trying find some answers for myself I suppose. Thank you
@@brittanyream9872 no worries, the way I see it I guess is Reassurance from another that feels similar is better then a off-putting comment from somebody that doesn't relate or understand if your referring to the world moving in a negative direction comment I made that is true now I'm not going to confirm a statement like it's completely coming to a end because I can't do that. And wouldn't help but I can say that the slope isn't uphill, I feel that in my heart. now maybe I can't speak for everyone but I know we arnt the only two and that's worth reaching out.. no I'll will in This at all either thanks for reaching out
As clear as day, the link between childhood trauma and drug use to cope with the trauma. This poor woman has severe CPTSD... and I'd waver that those moments during the interview where she says "i'm okay" are a form of dissociation. This poor woman's personality is completely fragmented and dissociated.
Probably should have let her leave during the interview when she wanted to tbh.
What would you say to the Drug Addicts that grew up in a wonderful home with love and support . Who still become Drug Addicts?
Are they to blame for their addiction ?
@Christopher Conwell You're comparing apples to oranges mate. All I'm pointing out is that people with huge trauma like this turn to substances to merely cope.
There are other reasons why people become addicted to drugs yes, but does that deem my prior point invalid? Clearly not.
I think your mistaking her mental state from the Drug abuse for mental illness.
@@christopherconwell7271 No I am absolutely not. I am a psychologist and work with people like her, and I'm confident in my understanding of mental illness, drug abuse, and their bi-directional relationship.
Most people who were abused struggle with some form of self-destructive behaviour, whether it's substances or self-harming.
@@christopherconwell7271 seems like she has some type of drug induced psychosis brought on by abusing drugs/substances to cope with severe childhood trauma. this type of thing actually is not unusual with severely traumatized people. much different situation compared to someone who just took up the habit because they could ok.
Why force her to stay if she was ready to leave?
Ya that was really rude. He ended up making her late for her 9am appointment to suck an aids ridden cock for meth.
OMG Mark, I hope you helped this girl out man. That’s probably too 5 saddest episodes you’ve uploaded on here. I pray she gets the help she deserves to get out these streets and recover from her mental illness
Prayer doesn't work. Sorry.
There's no helping people this far gone. At least 99.9 percent of the time? Would you offer anything to help this person? Thoughts and prayers are for people that want to feel good without effort
@Erich Not true.
There's plenty that can help: medication, nutrition, therapy, adequate housing, human connection.
@@SarahSlackand prayers. These people are just lost sadly. I pray for all of them. One day they'll see and deeply regret it and think if ida only believed. It will be to late though. I just think why when all you have to do is ask for forgiveness repent of your sins and ask the lord to save you but sadly these people are too full of themselves, their ego's to big. I'd rather die believing and it not be real than die not believing it and it being real. Just think about that. What do you have to lose? Ill tell you. Nothing but you have everything to gain...
@@erich1380 not true .. controlled place could fix some issues but she wont recorver 100%
It's a shame how bad mental health can get. Sending love and prayers.
The platform that demonetizes this work is mad.
This is one of the best channels here! I learned so much ... without any teacher! I learned from the experiences of others.
This channel might not flush monster-advertising money to UA-cam, but SWU and several other quality channels which often may be not of huge value commercially definitely keep me staying at UA-cam. If there are only fake reviews for Chinese junk products or Cindy's beauty hauls, I will leave.
My sister works with people like this. The homeless, drug addicted, mentally disturbed and emotionally traumatized people of our city. This series has given me real insight into what she sees and deals with on a daily basis. I don't know how she maintains her own mental/emotional health. It would break me.
Jesus, going through so much and still has a need to help people. What a wonderful woman ❤
Lord only knows what she has truly been through. I'd say she remembers bits and pieces of what has happened to her. I pray for you Brittany.
My heart reaches out to her, she had too much of a harsh upbringing, and is a sensitive soul. It is so difficult to put into words the trauma she has suffered. God I hope she finds shelter from the storm.
@@ItsSauIGoodman You're a bad man Saul Goodman
The only shelter from this storm, is death.
@@ItsSauIGoodman Not everyone has the god given talent of a wordsmith like you. Be nice to the plebs.
I knew a family that was in type of family she described in the beginning. We called them "mountain folk" in Ohio. Total
backwoods dysfunction, which led to heavy addiction. Usually alcohol. It's brutal see it happen in real time. I have to light a candle for this woman, her brain broke in childhood. You can see it, man.....this is tough. I have childhood PTSD, and I know a lot of us chase a fix....any fix.
❤❤❤❤💔💔💔
I used to visit my best friend in brown county OH as a child. Her mother was from there and she left NY when her dad died. First time I witnessed that backwoods dysfunction 😞
This will probably be an unpopular opinion but as much as I respect Mark & his work, I think he should've let her go the first time she stood. Never mind the second when she said she was done. Felt a bit pushy & exploitative to me
Omg what a good person you are. Thank you for your courage and speaking out against tyranny. Omg so brave
i agree and felt it would also be an unpopular observation - it felt a little desensitized and disregarding her wish to shut it down, as if her needs didnt matter - which is a pattern of abuse she seems to have experienced by others - all misuse of power (imbalance) no matter how subtle is further traumatizing for people who have suffered.
Couldn't agree more
It does shine light on meth abuse and mental health issues,and I won't be liked for this,but I honestly think a lot of what she said was untrue,but she believes every word of it to be true,and to have happened.
Yep, pretty disgusted by his actions in this one,
Battling with the voices in her head and trying to survive on the streets I feel bad for her I hope she finds help.
Wow. I feel empathy for what she's been through and going thru Poor soul. I hope she is in there somewhere I really hope she accepts the help she So desperately needs. 😢
Mark, these videos continuously show why we need more time for people, time to understand, time for love, compassion, consideration & empathy in this world. God bless her & her future hopefully we can have some updates please ! 😔🙏❤️
Not sure why but 6:12 really struck me when she dismissively says "I'm not a murderer, leave me alone" and moves on. She is clearly so tired of dealing with these terrible hallucinations but shows true character and resilience in dealing with them.
"I just wanted to be happy"
"Don't fall asleep around family "

Hey Matriarchy! 👋🤓 . This girls having a tough time with her mind.
Yeah … that hit me. She’s been through a lot by the ones meant to love her.
😢❤
@@myeyeswentdeaf6213 Yes, and i can only imagine the abuse she suffers on skid row.
Ones like this always hurt my heart she is so vulnerable and in the worst possible place for that.
Being a witness (hearing what of her story she can put into words as well as seeing the effects of) to humans who have known nothing but unspeakable trauma, and are still here, makes me feel like I am on sacred ground. 💯
In awe. Humbled. Unexplainable love.
The fact that that was her most important lesson she’s learned in her life was absolutely heartbreaking
Pobrecita!!!! Qué daño tan terrible le tuvieron que hacer para apenas recordarlo y terminar de esta manera. Que Dios la ayude.....😢
When she stops so long and disconnects I wonder if this poor lady is hearing her other selves telling her things.
Wow- we have the same name and age and we both have an older sister and younger brother. It never ceases to amaze me how one’s upbringing and mental health directly correlate to their future. Wishing her the best. Hope she can get some real help. Mental health issues are so real.
Aw, bless her. What a damaged soul, and yet she still wants to find a way to love others. What a gorgeous soul.
My god I’ve never wanted to help someone more. I grew up in a psychotic abusive family too- I just got extremely lucky not to fall into addictions. I’m sending her so much positive energy. I believe they brainwashed her. Britney if you read this, I believe you!!
Certain drugs will ABSOLUTELY turn your brain to mush!!! My Aunt fried her brain with Crystal years ago, died with a needle in her arm, clean for "10 plus years". If you asked her Lol sadly her son was never taken so he got to find her dead body with a needle in her arm after being dead for 3 days..... thanks Mark!!! Hope you're well man.
Sad but true
Wow Mark..... This one hits. Poor, poor girl. And what's sad, is, as delusional as she is, you can tell there is SOME truth to her story and she has zero coping skills. Very sad. I pray for her.
I really hope that you and your team tried to help get this woman the mental health care she clearly needs. 😭 this one definitely was heartbreaking. 💔
Just as an fyi, there is no “team”. Mark has an assistant, Lauren, who helps him when he travels; but other than that, the sole producer of this channel is Mark Laita. Mark does what he can and he’s commented that he’s walked hundreds into rehab but they walk out soon after. The main hope for this woman would be if a family member saw her here and came to rescue her. Mark doesn’t have the legal authority to force her into treatment which is really what she needs. I agree it’s a heartbreaking situation. 💔
This one was so hard to get through, all of them are but damn!!! I still see the 12yr old child and now she’s a damn haunted, hurt severely abused 30yr old that is still being failed by everyone around her. 😔😢😢💔💔💔 someone recently asked me why I watch this channel and am I enjoying it; I think I watch this bckz it’s the TRUE SIDE OF AMERICA AND WHAT’s THE REAL PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY.
When I realized she was responding to voices in her head, I got so sad and thought of Amanda 💔😔😢 I hope she gets the help and healing she needs.
My heart hurts for this woman. I am sending her love and protection.
Poor girl and never have I heard an interview that better sums up where society is at now - I pray she can find some peace in her life.
I've probably watched a hundred of these SWU videos over the past week or so. I watched this one about 5 days ago and cant get i out of my head. As someone who is schizoaffective, was formally a homeless drug addict, and had suffered sexual abuse. This video has haunted me. I have seen video of myself during one of my episodes and it is very similar. The ending where she talks about what lesson in life she has learned, just ripped my heart in two. Having gotten off the streets, cleaned up, and having my schizo and PTSD at a semi-manageable level my life is a lot better now. I wish i could reach through the screen and hug her and tell her that there is hope. My heart truly goes out to this young lady.
This one made me so sad, she was asked about Mental health and said she had no issues, she doesnt even realise shes ill 💔 i wish she gets help soon .
This was one of the hardest videos to watch.
Just read through the comments and kinda surprised to see that no one has mentioned schizophrenia. I'm not a doctor but it seems pretty obvious to me that she suffers from it. I hope she gets to a place where she wants to recover.
Can't diagnose schizophrenia if drug-induced psychosis isn't ruled out. Her psychotic symptoms are likely caused by her drug use and her childhood trauma.
@@gSWG3R Exactly! I don't think people know what drugs actually do to people... It's not always a mental disorder
@@shojus no you're probably right I don't know what I'm talking about assuming my diagnosis without ruling out all other possibilities. I will try not to let it happen again.
@@gSWG3R She's probably using drugs to medicate for her schizophrenia professor 😅
My first thought too watching this. She's doing drugs, but she doesn't seem the same as other long term drug users I've seen on this channel. One thing is for sure: she desperately needs to be in care so qualified people can diagnose and help her. Right now she's in a chicken and egg situation, and a professional needs to figure out which is which before she can be helped.
Obviously very very mentally ill and not living in reality, probably schizophrenia made worse by drugs, sex abuse, prostitution, and just overall bad choices. Probably lives in this fantasy world so she doesnt have to remember what shes went through, i hope she gets the help she needs.
Omg! I’m absolutely stunned! Poor, poor lady.
The most heartbreaking video I’ve watched yet… Sending my prayers & love over to Brittany and all other addicts that are still struggling. You are loved by so many people that don’t even know you
omg!! I was in floods of tears watching this one 😥😥Poor Brittany! she looks so lost! it was heartbreaking when you realise she is hearing voices💔I hope Mark and his team are able to help her out. The mother in me just wants to hold her! Poor lady
Very sad. She’s obviously disturbed. Hope she stays safe.
If she is inbred, as she says, that can cause a lot of mental problems as well. She has a lot to deal with.
Mark you do such a good job at humanizing this class of people
What people don’t realize is how most of the people with life threatening drug addiction are barely hanging on, they classify them as ‘’those’’ people and until one walks a mile in the shoes of another they will never understand the pain and trauma most of them endure, whether they participate in their own trauma or are subjugated by it they are still children of god that deserve basic respect and love, and mark you not only provide love and respect but draw awareness to the need for it as well. God bless you sir😊
This broken lady...I've never seen anything like this. I can't imagine what she's suffered.
Whoaaaa that was a tough watch
There is something about her that reminds me of Anne Heche. I really hope she gets some help.
The confusion in here face at 3:16 is devastating. She knows exactly what’s going on but has no control. Bless this woman.
I could feel Brittany's overwhelming pain. I feel so very bad for her and pray that her life will be transformed for the better. She deserves a huge break.
My worst fear in life is for my daughters to end up like this.
This story is so sad. I can't say I know exactly what she's going through but I can more understand on why she uses, so she doesn't have to deal with the emotions of all the trauma she's been through. I've dealt with a lot of stuff, but not to the extent Brittany has gone through. A lot of people who have mental illness use drugs like myself
So painful to watch and hear.....tragic how some children are born into a hellish nightmare w no where to turn.
This was great. Before anyone takes off on just those words, I have done max alcohol and drugs. Although I'm straight over 30 years now I could follow her thought patterns and understand her all the time. The get up and walk off was classic and really made it. Best wishes to you Brittany. Start cutting back on the dope. Just do less. I know. Do less next time anyway. Get back to where you were and work on you there. You are a good girl. Love you. Be cool. Thank you Mark.
This story breaks my heart. It's so sad, I hope one day she gets the help she so desperately needs.
Omg ! So sad, I hope she gets help.
God bless her.
Let’s pray all together for a better world and a better tomorrow for her!
Thats a tormented soul 😢 Lots of people could easily say thats what she gets for the drug use or whatever, but I think with all the trauma this could go very quickly to suicide for this woman. Praying for her. God loves her the same as He loves me. If it weren't for His mercy there I could go also. This one will lay heavy on my heart for quite a while.
Oh my goodness! My heart breaks for her. The silence almost brock me!
Sending angels of protection to Brittany. May she be guided to the light and brought peace over her soul. May her pain be taken away from her and let her healing begin. ❤
❤❤❤❤❤amen
Wait, where were these angels when she was a little girl and her siblings and cousins were ass-r*ping her? Are the angels like divine firefighters who hang out at the angel station until the alarm goes off, then they slide down a pole and hop onto the protection truck?
What some people call mental health, others call them demons
This is why our homeless are homeless. Drugs are a way to numb the pain of hopelessness.
They get caught up in a viscous circle. Then we wonder why people can't function. She is one of the most I'll person you have interviewed. I thank you MARK.
I am not a doctor but I have several people in my life who are either Schizophrenic or Bipolar with Schizophrenic behaviors, and after having hours and hours of conversations with them I can tell you Brittany sounds like she is suffering from one or both disorders. It could be caused by her use of Meth combined with her horrible childhood traumas. If so, stopping the use of the Meth could greatly improve her symptoms. We desperately need better care for people in this country suffering from mental health issues!!! I truly hope this young woman finds peace and joy in her life.
Cheers
Bipolar isn’t like this. I get the impression her hallucinations don’t end, whereas a BP1 would have a month or so of symptoms (when manic), and then go back to normal
@@cov9445
Yes, that is my experience too. Schizophrenia seems to be what she is suffering from, but that could be brought on by excessive Meth use. I have seen people who were up for 6 days out of their minds, talking to people who aren’t there and, though it may sound like a cliche, taking apart electronics in their homes and vehicles because “ they are definitely in there and certainly listening and watching everything” 😱 No matter what is causing her symptoms she definitely needs and deserves the best medical care possible!!
Cheers
My heart just hurt so much for her. I cannot even fathom the abuse she received from what should be her safe place and loving family. I wish her peace and I desperately she gets help at some point
Wow Mark this video was a hard one to watch, she needs to be in a mental health facility. So sad ppl like this r just left to roam the streets hallucinating and full blow psychosis. Nothing anyone can do unless they agree to go, commit a crime, can't 5150 them unless they harm themselves. It's heartbreaking! Idk how you sit so composed through some of these interviews. Any updates on Brittany recently?
“What I would change is what other ppl did.”
Amen, honey, I hear you.
aww Brittany. hope you get some help sweetie. She's so unwell and vulnerable. I hope they pick her up and take her to the hospital poor thing
She definitely has other conversations going on in her head that we can't hear. She needs mental health treatment seriously. It's so sad because these are the kind of people who can't make these decisions on their own. She is a perfect candidate to be taken into treatment, willing or not, until the right diagnosis & meds are found. Instead, we just hand them food stamps & maybe a check. The money could be better spent in treatment & she might eventually be able to work & take care of herself.
I love this series so much I love getting to know these people who are so misunderstood by regular society
Tough one...the end is heart breaking. This poor woman/child.
Boy my heart is breaking she is getting angry at the end 💔 WOW great work holding it together Mark
It should concern all of us that we still live in a nation where people like this poor woman are tossed out into the street, rather then being in a safe place getting the help she so desperately needs.
This lady needs so much help. She has major childhood trauma
Bless her little soul.
The fact that she said she thinks she was brainwashed by mk ultra and is wearing a stranger things hoodie. Mk ultra is what the girl in stranger things went through as well as her mom
It's very sad to see someone in that condition. She needs a lot of professional help for her mental health problems and her addictions. She won't get it on the streets though and she probably won't seek help on her own. Prayer is the only thing to do for her. I do pray she'll have an intervention to save her life.
That was intense. I sat there in a zone the whole interview. Wish her the best.
Blessings and healing for Brittany
