- Schizoaffective Disorder is a mental health condition including Schizophrenia and Mood Disorder symptoms. I may not be struggling with Bipolar Disorder and instead be struggling with Schizoaffective Disorder. As I learn more about my mental health, my diagnosis is changing. I am learning more every day and I feel so validated!

My son was diagnosed with schizoeffective disorder about 5 years ago. He went through severe symptoms. It took a lot to get Healthcare professionals to understand his disorder. He has been on medications and is doing so well. I appreciate anyone who shares their journey with this disorder. I'm glad you are sharing. I want people to understand what you go through. I wish you the very best, and thank you for being open and honest about your life. Bless you
Thank you for sharing your story with me!
I’m so glad you have an answer to a lifelong issue. You are a wonderful example of how mental health issues can be corrected by the right medications. You are normalizing the issues of mental health. Congratulations’
I agree. Without my meds I could not function. I was diagnosed with bipolar 2013, and I have been stable and productive thanks to therapy and meds. I know people are saying the keto diet will get you off most of your meds for mental health, but I'm not totally on board on that. Any diet can make All people to feel better mentally and physically, but diets are not a cure all. Have A Beautiful Day Everyone ❤
@@SmilingBeaver-ou7ncabsolutely! Many of these mental health disorders are neurological and a diet can't treat neurological disorders. Like you said, some can make anyone feel better physically and even mentally, but they can't treat a disorder.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your story with me!
Thank you!
You are taking the biggest step, and that is talking about your journey. Keeping you in prayer.❤
Thank you!
I think you are so brave to talk about this. When I first started following you, you were just redoing your craft room in your new house. You talked about your OCD and said it may take a long time to finish because of the OCD. I Thought You were doing well. I also have OCD, but not severe. You are the kindest, bravest person for talking about this because what you say may help someone else. You are an amazing woman! ❤❤
I’m so glad to hear that you are being validated Kieren and that the meds are working for you ❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing and helping to remove the stigma of mental health problems, especially ones involving a 'z' 😂. I'm happy that meds are making your life better. Take care of yourself ❤
It’s wonderful to hear you speak optimistically about your mental health. Not only are you helping yourself but I’m sure your videos are going to help others to find the help they need too. Love to you and the family 🧡🖤🧡
Thank you!
It can be a struggle to find the right combination of therapy/medication. You seem to be adjusting very well. Thank you for sharing your experiences Kieran. ❤
Thank you!
Thank you for being so brave to share your journey. You are helping so many. And am so glad you were able to find the right medication. ❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you... for being so honest. I struggle with my mental health and find it very hard to talk about it. Please stay strong and take care of yourself xxxx
Thank you!
Yeah people seem to think that people with mental health dosorders can't live normal lives when they can with meds.It's not much different than any other health problems when you need meds.
You seem to be doing so well, I'm so glad! And thanks for being open. Both my sons struggle with schizophrenia/schizotypal issues, and really, the more we share about this stuff, the less scary those words are. So many treatment options available, they really don't need to be taboo words anymore. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I agree. The more we share the more clear of an understanding we will have.
I do remember your old videos, and how you used to look mentally. I can see you are a lot better. I'm happy your psychiatrist is listening to you. I hope you find your complete diagnosis so you can have the right treatment.
Thank you!
So proud of you for sharing, Kieren!!!
Thank you so much!
YOU ARE SOOOOO BRAVE!!!!!
It takes so much courage to share your mental health journey with us, thank you. I have been on a long mental health journey and it's encouraging to hear your positivity about about this. I was diagnosed with a Bi-Polar disorder more than 15 years ago now, it's a challenging ongoing journey for sure. We definitely need to normalize mental health care in this country and just get to a greater acceptance of treating and compassionately accepting everyone without blaming them for their condition.
You are so so brave. Thank you for sharing your mental health journey. You are a remarkable young lady. Stay positive. 💕
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing. More people need to realize that people can live normal healthy lives even if they have a mental health issue.At least you are on meds.There are so many people who have mental health disorders.They just don't want to accept that or get meds.
Thanks for being so vulnerable and normalizing discussion and openness around mental illness. Your viewpoint is valuable.
Thank you so much!
I am so proud of you. Mental health issues need to be addressed in our society and in the world. We will treat hypertension, but not our mental health. Rock on young lady. Stay strong. Blessings to you and your family. Hugs❤. Liz
Thank you so much!
Thank you for being brave enough to share this. I think it's wonderful that you're studying and finding out more about your symptoms and taking steps to correct everything. You are helping other people so much and I admire you for it. Keep it up!☘
Thank you!
It's so great that you're sharing and I GUARANTEE you're helping so many people. There are so many people wondering what's going on with them, and knowing they're not alone is going to help them keep pursing an answer to their questions. And I'm so happy to hear you advocating for medication. I'm also an advocate for meds. They really can change your life. My son once told me he didn't want to take meds and be somebody he wasn't. I explained to him that they actually allow you to be who you really are, they allow you to feel normal. And having the right mental health doctor can make all the difference in the world. I'm so glad you finally found someone who listens and is willing to explore possibilities. Keep going girl. You got this!
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your story with me.
Praise God!!!!!!!!! You sound so much better in everything! It is totally noticeable and you have your HOPE back for your life,,,
Fantastic video!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! I am so grateful!
May you find peace and comfort. I hope that your sister and husband are very supportive of you. You are brave for sharing. Your video will help others.
Thank you so much!
Please get better you are beautiful, and life is beautiful, we love your vids! Pray pray all the time talk to god to help you and he will.
My 20 year old son was just diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder in his stay at an in patient facility. This is the first I’ve really heard of this disorder and I have very little information on. So this is very helpful. Thank you for sharing your information, especially about the medications. I have OCD myself. I am a cleaner/organizer but also process of how to do things. I’m terribly sorry to hear about the passing of your mother.
GOD BLESS YOU BEAUTIFUL LADY I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU THAT YOUR COMING ON TO TALK ABOUT ALL OF IT TAKES A GREAT BIG HAVING COURAGE AND I ADMIRE YOU FOR IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you so much!
Thanks for being so brave with your mental health journey! I wish things would change and everyone would be so open- it would help endless people! While not knowing exactly what kind of delusions you had and when I’ll share my advice. I take an anti-psychotic as well due to sleep and as I call them the “crazies” stemming from my severe depression. Things like OCD and depression are mood and behavior disorders, so if you think about it, our thoughts can get psychotic quite easily. for example, after I found the right medication and group therapy, It occurred to me with great surprise that people don’t think about death all night and day. I truly believed that everyone did, but some people just hid it better than someone like me! Is it purely a depressive thought or psychotic? what I’ve learned through all these years is that so much seems to be connected and it really does get hard to figure out what is at the core. But good for you for continually trying to find that! And good luck.😊
Thank you for your kind words and sharing your story with me!
So when I first started watching your channel it was because of your organizational new home videos and because you are a teacher. I loved to watch them! I don’t know if you are still a teacher. When you turned your channel into more of a vlog I no longer wanted to watch your videos. I applaud you for sharing your personal health journey. It is not easy. I’m glad that you are following through with meds and all of that for your health. Take care.
Thank you so much for coming out and talking about this I have Never heard of it but I am so glad you talked about it I’m still watching a video for the second time and I still don’t understand what it is God bless please have a amazing day and I’m so glad that you came out to talk about it
Sooo proud of you Ms. Barnes!!! ❤ You got this 💪🏾
Thank you!
I am glad you are learing more about your mental health sending hugs and prayers for you
Thank you!
Your honesty is helping so many people. Stay strong! ❤❤❤
Thank you!
Medication changed my life too. I'm proud of you taking and sharing this journey. It's cathartic for you and helpful for so many.
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your story with me!
I'm glad that you are finding answers and some peace.
Thank you!
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom ❤ my thoughts are with you today
Thank you.
How freeing to learn about the illness and that you are identifying old patterns that you are stopping and not letting fear grip you as it used to. Hugs 🤗
Thank you!
Thank you 🙏 for sharing. I watched your last video about Bipolar disorder and loved the information and openness, thank you!
Thank you so much!
@@ThriftedLiving ❤️❤️
We have been with you a long time and will be here for the long run - rooting you on and supporting you in your journey, no matter what the diagnoses may be. You should be very proud of yourself - this video is no doubt helpful to so many. Well done! 👍 🩷
I've been with you for awhile & enjoy your videos. It's very brave of you to tell your journey & struggles in hopes to help others. Definitely mental health needs to be talked about more in society. No one should have to suffer in silence. Your puppies are so cute ❤️ & I love your glasses! They fit your personality and style so well.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Amazing. You are so brave for sharing ❤🎉
Thank you so much!
Hugs, Kieren! Love you. ❤
Thank you! Love you, too!
Thank you for sharing. I've been following you for years and can see the difference now that you are on medication. I have shared my health issues including physical issues we both have experienced (heart etc). At my last PCP appointment he brought up Schizo...(not sure where he is going with this) and started me back on a low dose antidepressant. My major problem in my 60s has been memory/speech related but neurology doesn't think it is alzheimer's related at this point although I do have a higher risk for it. I also have sleep issues (which is why I am up at 2am watching this) but have to watch taking medications due to the memory issues. For now it's just one day at a time.
Thank you for sharing your story with me.
I'm glad that you are able to share how you're feeling. I'm wondering how you possibly continue to teach. It seems like that would be a huge stressor. I guess your school system is able to accommodate you when you're in crisis. My school system wouldn't be able to handle it.
Thank you. I'm sorry to hear that.
So glad you are doing so well. How is your husband handling all of this? Is he supportive? I've been watching you a long time and he seems so kind. I hope he understands.
Thank you! He is amazing! He has been with me every step of this journey. I am so grateful.
Back in the 80s when we relied on house phones I would pick it up to make sure there was a dial tone 100s of times a day.
Thank you for sharing your story with me.
You’re brave!
Thank you!
I'm sitting here in Connecticut about to have a breakdown and this comes up. I have severe ocd too and the part where you're talking about contamination I can relate. Are your mornings especially difficult?
Thank you for sharing with me. Yes. In the past my morning have been very difficult.
I'm proud of you
Thank you!
I've had schizo affected disorder bi polar type for thirty seven years. I've been on just about every psychiatric medication and don't have outstanding Tardive d. I feel like I am slowly fading away even though the illness I'm diagnosed and certainly have( I know because I've had just about every reported symptom), even though it is not supposed to be degenerative I am slowly fading and at times feel like I'm totally gone. I have all these symptoms and different supernatural stories as to why my body is doing this. And I wonder which comes first mind or matter? I cannot work, I am disabled, even handicapped because I lose my bearings when I work because of my lack of a sense of self and thoughts in general. Fortunately I am able to play guitar and read daily but that doesn't make what I said untrue...
I'm a patient of schizophrenia can i ask you about changing the definition. I'm not vibing with hallucination.

Thank you!
Keto diet with intermittent fasting for 20hours will help to be in remision from ilness for life
I appreciate your openness and honesty but can this affect your career with them hearing these things?
I am medicated and stable. My job has always been kind and supportive.
Do you think pets might be causing mental illness?
1 Corinthians 15
The Resurrection of Christ
15 Now I would remind you, brothers,[a] of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you-unless you believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
ok what are you trying to say
oh please.
Thank you for watching!
You really need to reconsider sharing your health issues on UA-cam.
Why??
This comment is why we need to discuss mental health more openly and honestly.
