It's so sad to see how much more his mental and physical state have deteriorated since you first interviewed him. His family seems so nice and my heart breaks for them.
This is so far by a landslide the best video he has done. He was more aware. More engaged. He has lost weight but still I think he looks fairly good. The voices didn’t bother him as much as the previous videos did. I hope he does connect with his dad. The problem is he can agree and then minutes later disagree. I wish he and his family well.
I didn't even recognize him. That is how much he has deteriorated from 2 years ago, since his last interview. His head-scratching & nose-picking were so distracting. So sad...such drastic change from his first interview. I hope he gets help...whether it's an agency on skid row...or if he allows his Dad back into his life...he definitely needs some sort of support. & Most importantly...to get back onto his meds & off the street drugs.
@@hipsonsogbo 🎯 It's good to see someone intelligent enough to realize that. "The type of voices heard by people who suffer from schizophrenia depends on where they live..clinical studies show that people who have auditory hallucinations in Africa and India describe them as positive requests from family members or spirits, But most Americans say they hear violent torturous, and hateful yelling from strangers"
It's hard to see how badly this guy is suffering. I wish we had a better way to help but I know it's a complicated reality all the way around. Thanks for shining a light here, Mark.
It annoys me when people say Mark is exploiting these people, and only does it to make money, yet here, he keeps in contact with chrises father, and also other victims family. He doesnt have to do that. It proves that he does care, and he doing this work for the right reasons.
It's a lot more than that. The whole SFU series is of enormous value for so many different reasons. The most important maybe for giving these people a voice and for showing the world that they are humans first with a different story for each of them.
@@BigJellyFish227That is a very common age to see the onset of schizophrenia. The best thing you can do is to stop smoking weed and go see a Dr. I don't care what you think or heard, weed today can cause schizophrenia. Get help please.
Oh, wow - this one hit hard. Chris’s first interview was so beautiful and interesting. If it hurts me, a complete stranger, to see him like this I can only imagine how it’s impacting his family. Thank you for being the lifeline between Chris and his dad, Mark. ❤
@@arkham5940 They must be mixing up the first and second interviews. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't great in his first, but he was better there than here, at least physically I think.
I pray for you Chris ❤ God please let him get to safety and healing. Please relieve his pain and let him be with his family again Amen Thanks Mark. Thank you Chris for sharing your story and huge Thank you to his Father and family for loving unconditionally as we all Adoyle
My sister is in jail right now.. and not eating well due to her schizophrenia.. have to wait for the court to make decisions.. this illness is so painful for her and our family.
We’ve all been waiting for an update on Chris for so long now and this is a gut punch, although not surprising. I often think about how you’re holding up yourself Mark, I can hear the concern and sadness in your voice here. Day in and day out hearing these terrible stories, it’s gotta chip away at your soul, you’re only human so take care of yourself! I hope Chris’s family can convince him to get help. No one deserves to suffer like this.
Also he lives in America, and will be dealing with a lot of abuse from the system which will be making his condition worse, recovery in the USA is near impossible now, the sadistic authorities will be having a lot of fun with him.
He knows sometimes. But his schizophrenia is so advanced he goes in and out of reality. Sometimes he's aware of whats going on and sometimes he's so in his head he forgets about it entirely.
You can't get help in America for people like this, it cost too much money. Apparently in America, money is more important than people's health. He'd be better off in Europe, or probably even in Russia.
@@cherylfauth9543 ok! That is good to hear. I hope he is getting the help he needs (i sincerely do) Does he have insurance? It is just the impression I get from watching documentaries and things on the Internet, the USA seems to not help the poor people as much as they should, it seems you need to atleast have insurance to get any type of decent medical help, and people without it, seem to be left to fend for themselves, because anything medical is privatised, and has to be paid for privately, or by insurance companies.
I still mourn for my older brother, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia at 17. He’s here physically but mentally and emotionally he’s no longer with us.
@Dr.MantisToboggan69 My sister is showing signs of having schizophrenia, but she refuses to go see a professional, so there is no diagnosis. Regardless, I completely feel the same way. I am going through a sort of mourning at the moment, too. I can't help but think of our child selves (we're both now in our 20s). I hope that she will engage with help one day 😔
@@vanessad5 my sister was super resistant to treatment as well. She ended up arrested for her behavior (attacked a family member in a delusional fit) and was put into a mental institution for 6 weeks. Afterwards she had probation that required she stay medicated. She was so afraid of going to jail again (it was a very bad experience, her cellmates did not appreciate her paranoid/strange behavior) that she maintained meds. After probation ended she became non-compliant again off and on. It's been a nightmare.
Mark, as a mom with a son that is the same age as this young man with the same illness, thank you for doing this interview. It's extremely hard to not help the one you love when they don't see the need for help. Grieving the loss of unfulfilled dreams that you have for your kid is not something I would wish on my worst enemy. One time i found my son getting food from the Salvation Army mobile food truck. I went up to them and could barely get the words out of my mouth because i was so choked up with emotion, but I was so thankful that they took the time to love my son. Hugs to all those that feel this similar pain.
This may offend or upset some but hear me out and try it!!! Mental illness is connected to sin. An open door to demons and unclean spirits through generational curses, trauma and or sin. I know this because I experienced it and because God's word tells us!! When I repented of my sins, named them, repented of sins of my ancestors where they offered up their bloodline in exchange, when I named those I forgive and release of the trauma and pain they caused me, asked Jesus to forgive and deliver me, come into my heart and fill me with the holy Spirit of God, pleaded the blood of Jesus against all unholy covenants made with unclean spirits, and soul ties with those i fornicated with and the S.A, repented of sexual immorality, deeds done in the body and in the spirit realm (dreams)..... I promise he answered and the torment begin to end. I cried out to Jesus after going through an anxiety depression paranoia hopeless psychosis episode that had lasted over a month, the longest they ever had, I couldn't leave the house and barely my bed after I had thought I was doing so good and much better. Jesus answered my cries and took me through deliverance, what to pray, decree and denounce, healed me and I'm so grateful!!! Stopped having night terrors and sleep paralysis too which is all spiritual and demons attacking you while physically asleep but your soul is in the spirit realm wide awake. Anyway, what we all need is to turn back to God, accept Jesus and repent of sin, read the Bible and strive each day to choose and live for the glory of God!!!! I pray this helps someone!! God bless you all ❤️🙏🌹🙌 Jesus has a new life, new identity, purpose and destiny for you, it's not too late, it's just the beginning...he loves you and came for the broken-hearted, those in chains, bondage, wrapped in sin and wickedness, he went to hell to bring you out of it and restore all that life has taken from you and that you traded in, to give you everlasting life and connect you back to your creator and holy father in heaven! He cleanses the soul that a shower can't reach, he removes shame, guilt, mend the mind heart and soul where they were shattered, he heals relationships, families, wombs, gives hope, worthiness, peace, etc. I promise!!! Your debt is paid in full for all who will accept him and his forgiveness!!!
My friend has a son who was diagnosed as a schizophrenic in his third year in a engineering program at MIT, he now lives at home, he refuses to take the medication prescribed by his doctor some days because he feels the “cure” is worse than the disease itself. Maybe that’s the way Chris feels, but my friend son isn’t living on the streets, he works as a janitor now is making a contribution to society, Good luck Chris
I was rotated on pretty much all the antipsychotic medication. They are all horrible. I rather society think I'm odd than sit in such discomfort medicated. If the pills=better life, people would take it without question, but they don't equal a better life for most. Regular people don't trust big pharma, why should I?
Wow. Not easy to be accepted to MIT, your friend's son is obviously very smart. I have a good friend that works there, amazing school. Glad he has family support...♥
Good job, Mark. I struggle with this too and it's so hard to hear someone talking to you because the voices in your head are so loud. Most people can't understand that. But, once you hear the voices they don't stop. There is nothing you can do to fix them or quiet them. They're just there all the time.
I’ve dealt with schizophrenia during a psychotic break… I have never dealt with it in my life besides that time which was just a couple months ago. I feel your pain and my thoughts were so dark that I was so disturbed I couldn’t even bring myself to tell anybody what they were saying, but the voices are gone and I never had to take medication for a long period of time… Jesus healed me, and I know this for a fact. I don’t know if you believe in Jesus or not but I wanted to give you hope . I binge watched Kathryn krick on UA-cam .. she does deliverances and she is amazing !!! I strongly recommend watching her deliverance videos if you are open to that . I believe that these voices are demons… You just need to be set free. I spent months begging Jesus for freedom from the hell I was in .. he answered and I’m 100 Percent healed today .
As soon as you mention his family, he began having intrusive thoughts that you were spying on him. Good interview, because it shows the real that is Skid Row. ((Hugs))
This poor guy. It’s so sad to see him this way. Schizophrenia is such a sad disorder. They often don’t take their medications or seek help. I hope Mark does an update
People are heartbroken to see animals roaming around hungry, dirty, helpless and bring them to shelters against their will no problem because they need help. But a human literally slowly killing them selves and possibly hurting others is absolutely ok to be left alone because it’s against that person’s right to be taken into shelter or hospital for help. Take heart Chris the whole world has lost its mind.
I hear you. He is incapable as a stray kitten to care for himself, yet we let him roam around until he eventually dies...It was as wrong to close the mental hospitals as it would be to close the animal shelters. These people need treatment , health care are and a safe place to live. Once stabilized, surely they can be given greater freedom and reintroduced into society and some semblance of normal life.
So you want to physically force him to get treatment against his will?We don't do that in this country. The police can take him in and ask him if he feels he is a threat to himself or other people,if he says no, they have to let him go. Crazy people have rights too. It's an interesting debate,on the one hand, you're taking drastic action to do what you know is best for the person in an attempt to save their life and on the other hand in a free society we have to protect people's. civil liberties and automatically over their own life even if it's self destructive. If a homeless person is sleeping outside in twenty degree weather should the police force him against his will into a shelter or should he have the freedom to freeze to death?
Until they start defining politically incorrect views as "mental illness." Then the state can take you away for deprogramming. Political abuse of psychiatry has a well-documented history.
People want to help him, and people have tried to help him, but how can you help someone who is living in a delusional world and disagrees that they even need help?
My wife was diagnosed with schizophrenia in early 2020 and she’s made drastic improvement. She just graduated in Stem Cell Regenative Medicine at USC this year and is doing well!😊

His portrait breaks my heart 🥺 his face says it all. My brother who passed suffered from being schizoaffective. As much as I miss him, he’s in a better place. He would be 31 on Nov 20th. ❤
Schizophrenia is one of the saddest diseases. Many people that have it seem like they would live totally different lives if they were healthy. Wish this brother the best.

Been wanting an update on this guy for a while, wondering where he is, sucha good looking guy, especially in the first video compared to now, feel so sorry for him
Long acting injectable psych meds would probably save this sguys life. Most schizophrenics don’t want to take meds when they are sick but once they get on the meds they see the value in taking them
Was in a schitzo effective pyschosis for an about 5 years and everything went to shit in my life. One cop with a heart took me to a psych ward vs jail and he saved my life. Since then I’m on a once a month anti psychotic injection. (Haldol) My life is stable and limited schitzo episodes
The crystal meth doesn’t help. If he really is sleeping, that would help a lot, but extreme sleep deprivation makes even those without schizophrenia exhibit the same symptoms.
These are the cases where i think mental health institutions are vital. This man needs intensive care. Protection , food, personal cares and medication management. Prayers for him 🙏
So heartbreaking. My son is also 28 yrs old and has Schizophrenia. It took a while to get him stable on medications but he’s doing really well right now. I pray it stays that way. Chris, I’m praying for you and I hope you’re able to fight this horrible disease. 🙏🏽

My father had the same mental illness and also went to MIT. He was an engineering writer. Brilliant man with an IQ of 150. He worked for Lockheed, IBM, Pratt & Whitney, nuclear submarines, tanks with laser technology, etc. But after a couple decades he didn’t like ever taking the medicine because of the side effects so he stopped taking it. He lived on and off the streets. He since passed away. It’s a brutal illness. Chemical brain imbalance. Very sad😞
@@CodisrocksGod bless you, it may not be easy for you to feel sympathy for others. While you may be blessed with perfect health and in the state of that you fuel it with ignorance, there are other people who are less fortunate and don’t have the same privilege as you. Be grateful for what you have cause this same illness could’ve happened to you. God bless.
One of the toughest disorders to have. I worked for a Psychologist for 8 years and one my guys in the day program was Schizophrenic. Broke my heart. Some days I was scared, other days we would laugh. He was always calm when I played Usher’s Confession. He knew verse for verse and had an amazing voice. It’s sad to see this DO Rob so many people.😢
Absolutely heartbreaking. My nephew is schizophrenic and is stable only due to a monthly injection along with daily medication(s). And that combination took a long time for the doctors to establish, filled with many terrifying incidents along the way. Compliance is a daily struggle and is practically a full time job for my brother. It is a horrible condition. I hope Chris and his family can find a way to get the help he needs.

He is not ok. So sad to see him suffering so much. He isn’t capable of getting himself help, unfortunately. I believe schizophrenia to be one of the worst mental illnesses to live with
im schizo affective and lucky to never be on the streets, ive been in psychiatry for years and on medication now, but still have symptoms. substances were a huge factor for causing my psychosis so i hope he manages it. hes probably self medicating, being psychotic can be hell

Thank-you for your spotlight on mental illness. It is rough for people who have it and equally rough for their family members. Sadly the stigma never goes away. No one can accept it as part of their, our humanity. Before he died, my son Jantzen's best friend suffered from Schizophrenia. I met him several times with Jantzen. I told him he was the same as us as everybody but he was better because he accepted help. He was so affected by Jantzen's death, he could not come to the funeral. Jantzen was killed while biking by a negligent driver. I know this is not a popular thought, but I think we all have some mental illness. I actually think this has contributed to the rise of religiosity - or why religions exist to control the narrative or explanation for mental illness. Acceptance is key. Getting help is key. Getting help should not have such a negative connotation about it. We all need help at different points.
Might as well say we all have cancer, we are all diabetics too. The same way that somebody can be completely physically healthy, they can be completely mentally healthy. Perhaps you're around the wrong people
@@southphillylilly I understand your point. Cancer and Diabetes are currently not used as control factors by outside influencers (such as religion) for the people who suffer them. Mental illness still is used as a control factor by outside influencers. That is why I brought it up. I believe it is why the stigma around mental illness still remains which does not exist for cancer or diabetes patients.
Chris ~ Thank you for sharing your story. I am hoping you will allow your family to help and love you soon. Thank you Mark for all you do in trying to make this happen.
This poor young man, a lost soul. It has to be so heartbreaking for his family to see him in this condition. I hope he agreed to go to the hospital for help, after you spoke with his Dad ~ Thank You for all you do Mark ~
Mark!!! I am Soo happy you speak with these people's family and stay in touch or keep updated with them. Not a lot of people would do that. God Bless You 🙏 Your truly an amazing person.
.Love the way he pulls a few stuck ones out of the barriers - picking a winner. This guy is in a really bad way but sadly has no idea of how far he has fallen into the abyss
Meth users have a hard enough time with psychosis I couldn't image what he's going though its exhausting watching him fight the distractions and voices in his head.
even amfetamine can trigger schizophrenia after a couple of uses. Yeah it was a good times, still suffering from paranoid schizofrenia, but I do take my drugs, they help if you dose it right. Once after a year and a half being completely sober apart from nicotine i got an attack. I dont remember much, but i once again try and try to be sober, even weed can trigger an relapse - and it couse schizophrenias if used in young ages (not for all). I cry watching this man, because I know if not my mother I had been dead a lot of years ago. I remember his first video - he was completely tripping but I understood about what he was talking and how he felt. We have not a lot of homeless people here in lithuania. always give them money if i can, I don't question if they will spend it on booze or drugs. Thats how my alcoholic babtizing father told me - if someone asks you must give, I give even without asking if i see a homeless person, thats why we are human.
Won’t lie this was really kinda heart breaking to see .. being a single dad , this really puts a lot of things in perspective. We all have problems in life but we needa be grateful for even the smallest things cus some ppl don’t even have that. I really thank God everyday man I really do!
I hope you connected him with his family and they can help him get his medication back on track. His deterioration from the last time shows how important keeping on track with medication is and how quickly spirals can occur. Praying for you, Chris.
This is heartbreaking to watch. Poor sweetie. He didn’t ask for this, but he suffers. Idk what I’d do if my son developed schizophrenia. My son already had a mental health crisis with ocd a few years ago that was heartbreaking enough. He’s still healing from that. I would die if my son was out on the streets like this. So vulnerable and unprotected. Heartbreaking.

I have 2 schizophrenic cousins, one struggled on and off with addiction and took their own life a few years ago, she had a job and a house and an overall decent life, but i guess maybe it just got to be too much. My other one is still here and has been at the same job in the same house for many many years and hes been consistent with his medication throughout all that time, but i know when both of them first started their medication, they had a hard time with it because they just dont feel like themselves on it. I really appreciate how kind and patient you are with all these people you interview, kudos to you.
This may offend or upset some but hear me out and try it!!! Mental illness is connected to sin. An open door to demons and unclean spirits through generational curses, trauma and or sin. I know this because I experienced it and because God's word tells us!! When I repented of my sins, named them, repented of sins of my ancestors where they offered up their bloodline in exchange, when I named those I forgive and release of the trauma and pain they caused me, asked Jesus to forgive and deliver me, come into my heart and fill me with the holy Spirit of God, pleaded the blood of Jesus against all unholy covenants made with unclean spirits, and soul ties with those i fornicated with and the S.A, repented of sexual immorality, deeds done in the body and in the spirit realm (dreams)..... I promise he answered and the torment begin to end. I cried out to Jesus after going through an anxiety depression paranoia hopeless psychosis episode that had lasted over a month, the longest they ever had, I couldn't leave the house and barely my bed after I had thought I was doing so good and much better. Jesus answered my cries and took me through deliverance, what to pray, decree and denounce, healed me and I'm so grateful!!! Stopped having night terrors and sleep paralysis too which is all spiritual and demons attacking you while physically asleep but your soul is in the spirit realm wide awake. Anyway, what we all need is to turn back to God, accept Jesus and repent of sin, read the Bible and strive each day to choose and live for the glory of God!!!! I pray this helps someone!! God bless you all ❤️🙏🌹🙌 Jesus has a new life, new identity, purpose and destiny for you, it's not too late, it's just the beginning...he loves you and came for the broken-hearted, those in chains, bondage, wrapped in sin and wickedness, he went to hell to bring you out of it and restore all that life has taken from you and that you traded in, to give you everlasting life and connect you back to your creator and holy father in heaven! He cleanses the soul that a shower can't reach, he removes shame, guilt, mend the mind heart and soul where they were shattered, he heals relationships, families, wombs, gives hope, worthiness, peace, etc. I promise!!! Your debt is paid in full for all who will accept him and his forgiveness!!!
Thank you for giving this young man a voice. Can you do more videos on depression? I know it’s not that popular, but needs to be heard. Blessings to you.
Praying for you bro🙏🙏I’m 25 and also have schizophrenia by all means he needs to start taking the medication and stop all drug use including weed my schizophrenia was caused by weed and even tho it may seem that drugs may help cope with schizophrenia it only makes it much much worse. Fr praying for you Chris u are in gods hands bro soon you will be exactly where you want to be please start taking the meds n stop doing drugs🙏🙏🙌🙌🤲🤲
@@sheilastrickland3202 omg that was the same year I got diagnosed haha…. Make sure he is consistent with medication, maintains a healthy relationship with his family, has a healthy lifestyle (diet/exercise) and stays away from ALL drugs. If he’s able to do this he will most definitely be in the best condition he can possibly be in. Praying for you and your grandson, you guys are in Gods hands and anything is possible 🙏🤲🙌
@@sheilastrickland3202is he on a antipsychotic? Schizophrenia is a spectrum disorder so everyone presents differently. Make sure he takes his medication and stays away from substances. A lot of young people are getting Schizophrenia from marijuana and edibles, this new stuff has a high THC count that triggers Schizophrenia in those that are genetically predisposed.

He’s so sick. He presents like someone who has Disorganized Schizophrenia. It will only get worse, especially without treatment. He needs to be kept safe.
This is so heartbreaking seeing the video from 7 months ago to current day. Our mental health resources are not good along with the needs of people with mental health disorders such as survival housing, food, medical care. I appreciate this platform is attempting to help people and show the world the truth of this mental health disease. I hope Chris can get the help he needs and somehow get better.
People with Schizophrenia are difficult to help in any way that they aren’t willing to accept. They start and stop medication all the time and can end up a danger to themselves and others. I hope more people w this disorder understand why not having children can be beneficial . That’s just my opinion.
The systemic failure that's apparent in this country just by the fact that Chris is suffering homeless while being so mentally ill is appalling. We have people in this country that have more money than god and those most in need, the helpless, are left out in the cold. Mark, you are such an inspiration for how those of us who are privileged enough should be directing our efforts.
Gone are the days were one got institutionalized . His family would have to go to court & I don't think it would be an easy process as Chris has some awareness. He's not going to take his meds. Poor guy.
This is not how the economy works. All the money they have gets injected to products creates new jobs, etc. they are saving more lives that you ever will. Learn a bit about economy, dummy.
I am from Salt Lake City and I have seen Chris on the street and he is heartbreaking to see! I was on the video of his family and got curious and I found this video, I don’t know how I missed this update! I’m glad to see that he is still alive!
Asking for video 'redo's' suggests that he wants to present better, perhaps, would like to be in a better place. Maybe ..... (maybe not ..... ) ..... your tender heart created a safe place for this young man.
I am laser focused on that thing on his elbow! Poor guy. This is so heartbreaking. My son has schizophrenia and thete is very little to find that is lucky about having this illness, but in my son's case, we're lucky he isn't homeless. Heartbreaking 💔
My brother has this illness and became ill while serving in the military. He became homeless despite having a $3000 a month income. My grandpa also had it and tried to kill his 3 kids then ended up in a mental institution for 10 years.

You can break this generational curse off your bloodline through prayer and creating a covenant with Jesus to spiritually protect your offspring and family going forward!! Repent for sins and spiritual doors your ancestors opened to demonic spirits and plead the blood of Jesus against all covenants made with the kingdom of darkness on your bloodline that they be destroyed!!!
How would you like to admit you're schizophrenic? A mental illness that most wouldn't like to admit to. Mental illnesses need to be treated fairly. Not like their beneath people. No judgment
I am so happy to see he is alive, Mark please let us know if he accepts help and reconnects with his Dad. I know from my own past how tormented he is. I pray safety over him and his own strength to get help. To Chris' family: Please know that healing of that magnitude is possible. I am sober almost 6 years now and I no longer need medicines of any kind. I had drug-induced schizophrenia. I am a home-owner and a single mom of three children. My family never gave up on me and now our relationship is better than ever.
People with schizophrenia shouldn’t be sent to jail for minor things they should be looked after in hospital but sadly like alot of people they get lost in the fucked up corrupt system
At around 8:10 He says we can redo this if you want, meaning: he's paranoid and he feels he might not be giving you the right responses or answers. Constantly confused, yet in all honesty he's letting you know.
Sad. God, help him. My mom is schizophrenia and doesn't live on the streets. She's high functioning except when she goes off her meds. We have to file for an emergency petition through the local courts to have her hospitalized.

Wow I was just wondering about about Chris.. Again thank you for keeping up with your past interviewee’s ❤.. the weight has completely gone from him. 🙏
It's so sad to see people like this. My aunt is a schizophrenic and she is the same way. My parents tried helping her. She got pissed and still to this day says she doesn't have schizophrenia. Seems like there is nothing you can do for these people. Scary stuff, man.
Lord Jesus, may we ask you to watch over Chris, and bring him your healing and protection. We ask this for our brother Chris in his time of sickness. Restore his spirit and his body Lord. 🙏 Amen.
My son has a version of this illness, it is a daily struggle to keep him focused and on the right path. The hardest thing is to keep someone like this engaged with taking their medication. Without medication the hope for any kind of a normal life is extremely hard unfortunately and the medication makes them sleep a very long time, so they eventually don't want to take it anymore. I feel for him and his family. I hope he gets the help he needs. I know his family is going through it with him while he's away.😢

It's so sad to see how much more his mental and physical state have deteriorated since you first interviewed him. His family seems so nice and my heart breaks for them.
This is so far by a landslide the best video he has done. He was more aware. More engaged. He has lost weight but still I think he looks fairly good. The voices didn’t bother him as much as the previous videos did. I hope he does connect with his dad. The problem is he can agree and then minutes later disagree. I wish he and his family well.
I didn't even recognize him. That is how much he has deteriorated from 2 years ago, since his last interview. His head-scratching & nose-picking were so distracting. So sad...such drastic change from his first interview. I hope he gets help...whether it's an agency on skid row...or if he allows his Dad back into his life...he definitely needs some sort of support. & Most importantly...to get back onto his meds & off the street drugs.
That’s the risk you take when you live in an American society. It’s a psychological prison only some can handle
@@hipsonsogbo 🎯 It's good to see someone intelligent enough to realize that.
"The type of voices heard by people who suffer from schizophrenia depends on where they live..clinical studies show that people who have auditory hallucinations in Africa and India describe them as positive requests from family members or spirits, But most Americans say they hear violent torturous, and hateful yelling from strangers"
"I don't have schizophrenia." Oh boy, it hurts.
It's hard to see how badly this guy is suffering. I wish we had a better way to help but I know it's a complicated reality all the way around. Thanks for shining a light here, Mark.
No money to help these American people with problems it’s all getting sent to fund wars on the other side of the world…
Man, this is devastating to watch.
@@jerryhelloIt really is painful...💙🌎
Where is mental health support??
Psydelics
The mind can be a terrifying thing. I'm glad you're in touch with his Dad, Mark 🖤
This breaks my heart
The mind is the crossroads between the spiritual and physical planes
This is heartwrenching. God please watch over all those sick and suffering
Amen
In Jesus name 🙏
It annoys me when people say Mark is exploiting these people, and only does it to make money, yet here, he keeps in contact with chrises father, and also other victims family. He doesnt have to do that. It proves that he does care, and he doing this work for the right reasons.
He also gives them money to be interviewed
It's a lot more than that. The whole SFU series is of enormous value for so many different reasons. The most important maybe for giving these people a voice and for showing the world that they are humans first with a different story for each of them.
@@anthonym1862 and?
@@anthonym1862👍
That also allows him to make more videos and content which is in HIS interest and makes him money. He is not this messiah people think he is
It’s good to see Chris still alive. It’s been a couple years since I last saw him. I was hoping that he would be in a better place.
My heart goes out to him. I lost my precious son to this horrible condition.
❤
@@BigJellyFish227stop smoking then dumass
@@BigJellyFish227That is a very common age to see the onset of schizophrenia. The best thing you can do is to stop smoking weed and go see a Dr. I don't care what you think or heard, weed today can cause schizophrenia. Get help please.
So sorry for your loss
@@BigJellyFish227 Weed might actually literally create schizophrenia if started at a young age and huge amounts
This is tough to watch. This man is vulnerable and needs help
Crazy cuz this channel interviewed him 4 years ago
I’m somehow afraid of the next update. Poor Soul.
Oh, wow - this one hit hard. Chris’s first interview was so beautiful and interesting. If it hurts me, a complete stranger, to see him like this I can only imagine how it’s impacting his family. Thank you for being the lifeline between Chris and his dad, Mark. ❤
Beautiful? The first one is the worst for Chris for sure
Maybe I didn't watch them in order? Seems odd you'd care enough to bother making this comment. @@arkham5940
@@arkham5940 They must be mixing up the first and second interviews. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't great in his first, but he was better there than here, at least physically I think.
I pray for you Chris ❤
God please let him get to safety and healing. Please relieve his pain and let him be with his family again Amen
Thanks Mark. Thank you Chris for sharing your story and huge Thank you to his Father and family for loving unconditionally as we all Adoyle
My schizophrenic cousin took his own life last year. This condition is so horrible! I really feel for this man.
Sorry for you, and your, family's loss of this disease.
I am so sorry for your loss.
@CanadianEbikeoutlet R.I.P
@CanadianEbikeoutletnot funny
My sister is in jail right now.. and not eating well due to her schizophrenia.. have to wait for the court to make decisions.. this illness is so painful for her and our family.
We’ve all been waiting for an update on Chris for so long now and this is a gut punch, although not surprising. I often think about how you’re holding up yourself Mark, I can hear the concern and sadness in your voice here. Day in and day out hearing these terrible stories, it’s gotta chip away at your soul, you’re only human so take care of yourself! I hope Chris’s family can convince him to get help. No one deserves to suffer like this.
This poor baby breaks my heart. Such a lost soul. He needs help so badly.
Mark your work is truly amazing and inspiring. This man needs to get some help but the bad thing is is he has no idea help is needed
Also he lives in America, and will be dealing with a lot of abuse from the system which will be making his condition worse, recovery in the USA is near impossible now, the sadistic authorities will be having a lot of fun with him.
He knows sometimes.
But his schizophrenia is so advanced he goes in and out of reality.
Sometimes he's aware of whats going on and sometimes he's so in his head he forgets about it entirely.
You can't get help in America for people like this, it cost too much money. Apparently in America, money is more important than people's health. He'd be better off in Europe, or probably even in Russia.
@@gutz323Not true. My son gets help.
@@cherylfauth9543 ok! That is good to hear. I hope he is getting the help he needs (i sincerely do)
Does he have insurance? It is just the impression I get from watching documentaries and things on the Internet, the USA seems to not help the poor people as much as they should, it seems you need to atleast have insurance to get any type of decent medical help, and people without it, seem to be left to fend for themselves, because anything medical is privatised, and has to be paid for privately, or by insurance companies.
I still mourn for my older brother, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia at 17. He’s here physically but mentally and emotionally he’s no longer with us.
😢
Mine too , but my sister. I miss who she was. She had so much potential and now she is a shell of herself.
@Dr.MantisToboggan69 My sister is showing signs of having schizophrenia, but she refuses to go see a professional, so there is no diagnosis. Regardless, I completely feel the same way. I am going through a sort of mourning at the moment, too. I can't help but think of our child selves (we're both now in our 20s). I hope that she will engage with help one day 😔
@@vanessad5 my sister was super resistant to treatment as well. She ended up arrested for her behavior (attacked a family member in a delusional fit) and was put into a mental institution for 6 weeks. Afterwards she had probation that required she stay medicated. She was so afraid of going to jail again (it was a very bad experience, her cellmates did not appreciate her paranoid/strange behavior) that she maintained meds. After probation ended she became non-compliant again off and on. It's been a nightmare.
Mine as well, been 15 years now plagues us everyday
Mark, as a mom with a son that is the same age as this young man with the same illness, thank you for doing this interview.
It's extremely hard to not help the one you love when they don't see the need for help. Grieving the loss of unfulfilled dreams that you have for your kid is not something I would wish on my worst enemy.
One time i found my son getting food from the Salvation Army mobile food truck. I went up to them and could barely get the words out of my mouth because i was so choked up with emotion, but I was so thankful that they took the time to love my son.
Hugs to all those that feel this similar pain.
But there is. Meds can help, but need to be administered daily same time by a caregiver. There's also a timed pill dispenser that works.
❤
Ignorant. They may refuse to take medication - happens a lot.@@ivedoneitall
This may offend or upset some but hear me out and try it!!!
Mental illness is connected to sin. An open door to demons and unclean spirits through generational curses, trauma and or sin.
I know this because I experienced it and because God's word tells us!!
When I repented of my sins, named them, repented of sins of my ancestors where they offered up their bloodline in exchange, when I named those I forgive and release of the trauma and pain they caused me, asked Jesus to forgive and deliver me, come into my heart and fill me with the holy Spirit of God, pleaded the blood of Jesus against all unholy covenants made with unclean spirits, and soul ties with those i fornicated with and the S.A, repented of sexual immorality, deeds done in the body and in the spirit realm (dreams)..... I promise he answered and the torment begin to end. I cried out to Jesus after going through an anxiety depression paranoia hopeless psychosis episode that had lasted over a month, the longest they ever had, I couldn't leave the house and barely my bed after I had thought I was doing so good and much better.
Jesus answered my cries and took me through deliverance, what to pray, decree and denounce, healed me and I'm so grateful!!! Stopped having night terrors and sleep paralysis too which is all spiritual and demons attacking you while physically asleep but your soul is in the spirit realm wide awake.
Anyway, what we all need is to turn back to God, accept Jesus and repent of sin, read the Bible and strive each day to choose and live for the glory of God!!!!

God bless you all ❤️🙏🌹🙌 Jesus has a new life, new identity, purpose and destiny for you, it's not too late, it's just the beginning...he loves you and came for the broken-hearted, those in chains, bondage, wrapped in sin and wickedness, he went to hell to bring you out of it and restore all that life has taken from you and that you traded in, to give you everlasting life and connect you back to your creator and holy father in heaven! He cleanses the soul that a shower can't reach, he removes shame, guilt, mend the mind heart and soul where they were shattered, he heals relationships, families, wombs, gives hope, worthiness, peace, etc. I promise!!! Your debt is paid in full for all who will accept him and his forgiveness!!!
My friend has a son who was diagnosed as a schizophrenic in his third year in a engineering program at MIT, he now lives at home, he refuses to take the medication prescribed by his doctor some days because he feels the “cure” is worse than the disease itself. Maybe that’s the way Chris feels, but my friend son isn’t living on the streets, he works as a janitor now is making a contribution to society, Good luck Chris
I was rotated on pretty much all the antipsychotic medication. They are all horrible. I rather society think I'm odd than sit in such discomfort medicated. If the pills=better life, people would take it without question, but they don't equal a better life for most.
Regular people don't trust big pharma, why should I?
Cant u be schizophrenic and an engineer?
Wow. Not easy to be accepted to MIT, your friend's son is obviously very smart. I have a good friend that works there, amazing school. Glad he has family support...♥
@@nhlibra Family is everything when it comes to support.
@@ow3wells I definitely understand 🥲
Good job, Mark. I struggle with this too and it's so hard to hear someone talking to you because the voices in your head are so loud. Most people can't understand that. But, once you hear the voices they don't stop. There is nothing you can do to fix them or quiet them. They're just there all the time.
❤
I wish psychedelics could be studied for this
what was the first time you heard them?
Are they more like thoughts or external voices?
I’ve dealt with schizophrenia during a psychotic break… I have never dealt with it in my life besides that time which was just a couple months ago. I feel your pain and my thoughts were so dark that I was so disturbed I couldn’t even bring myself to tell anybody what they were saying, but the voices are gone and I never had to take medication for a long period of time… Jesus healed me, and I know this for a fact. I don’t know if you believe in Jesus or not but I wanted to give you hope . I binge watched Kathryn krick on UA-cam .. she does deliverances and she is amazing !!! I strongly recommend watching her deliverance videos if you are open to that . I believe that these voices are demons… You just need to be set free. I spent months begging Jesus for freedom from the hell I was in .. he answered and I’m 100
Percent healed today .
Absolutely heartbreaking to watch him 💔 it’s great that you’re in contact with his dad though Mark. Thank you
The pain you can see in his eyes is heartbreaking.
Nah. When they are on those mental states, they are happy as fuck. U can see in this video how active Chris is.
@@arkham5940 sarcasm right?
As soon as you mention his family, he began having intrusive thoughts that you were spying on him. Good interview, because it shows the real that is Skid Row. ((Hugs))
This poor guy. It’s so sad to see him this way. Schizophrenia is such a sad disorder. They often don’t take their medications or seek help. I hope Mark does an update
Needs a care giver to administer the meds
Oh, wow its Chris I've been hoping for an update on him, thank you Mark!

My brother just died this 8th. He was really tired. I know he fought his sickness. I just miss him a lot.

Sorry for your loss ❤
I am sorry.
The crows in the background are extremely ominous.
I hope that things get better for Chris, and I hope that he gets the help he needs.
People are heartbroken to see animals roaming around hungry, dirty, helpless and bring them to shelters against their will no problem because they need help. But a human literally slowly killing them selves and possibly hurting others is absolutely ok to be left alone because it’s against that person’s right to be taken into shelter or hospital for help. Take heart Chris the whole world has lost its mind.
I hear you. He is incapable as a stray kitten to care for himself, yet we let him roam around until he eventually dies...It was as wrong to close the mental hospitals as it would be to close the animal shelters. These people need treatment , health care are and a safe place to live. Once stabilized, surely they can be given greater freedom and reintroduced into society and some semblance of normal life.
So you want to physically force him to get treatment against his will?We don't do that in this country. The police can take him in and ask him if he feels he is a threat to himself or other people,if he says no, they have to let him go. Crazy people have rights too. It's an interesting debate,on the one hand, you're taking drastic action to do what you know is best for the person in an attempt to save their life and on the other hand in a free society we have to protect people's. civil liberties and automatically over their own life even if it's self destructive. If a homeless person is sleeping outside in twenty degree weather should the police force him against his will into a shelter or should he have the freedom to freeze to death?
Until they start defining politically incorrect views as "mental illness." Then the state can take you away for deprogramming. Political abuse of psychiatry has a well-documented history.
People want to help him, and people have tried to help him, but how can you help someone who is living in a delusional world and disagrees that they even need help?
@@ПитерАнгличанин By forcing them to go to the hospital... like many other first world countries do.
My wife was diagnosed with schizophrenia in early 2020 and she’s made drastic improvement. She just graduated in Stem Cell Regenative Medicine at USC this year and is doing well!😊
This may offend or upset some but hear me out and try it!!!
Mental illness is connected to sin. An open door to demons and unclean spirits through generational curses, trauma and or sin.
I know this because I experienced it and because God's word tells us!!
When I repented of my sins, named them, repented of sins of my ancestors where they offered up their bloodline in exchange, when I named those I forgive and release of the trauma and pain they caused me, asked Jesus to forgive and deliver me, come into my heart and fill me with the holy Spirit of God, pleaded the blood of Jesus against all unholy covenants made with unclean spirits, and soul ties with those i fornicated with and the S.A, repented of sexual immorality, deeds done in the body and in the spirit realm (dreams)..... I promise he answered and the torment begin to end. I cried out to Jesus after going through an anxiety depression paranoia hopeless psychosis episode that had lasted over a month, the longest they ever had, I couldn't leave the house and barely my bed after I had thought I was doing so good and much better.
Jesus answered my cries and took me through deliverance, what to pray, decree and denounce, healed me and I'm so grateful!!! Stopped having night terrors and sleep paralysis too which is all spiritual and demons attacking you while physically asleep but your soul is in the spirit realm wide awake.
Anyway, what we all need is to turn back to God, accept Jesus and repent of sin, read the Bible and strive each day to choose and live for the glory of God!!!!
I pray this helps someone!! God bless you all ❤️🙏🌹🙌 Jesus has a new life, new identity, purpose and destiny for you, it's not too late, it's just the beginning...he loves you and came for the broken-hearted, those in chains, bondage, wrapped in sin and wickedness, he went to hell to bring you out of it and restore all that life has taken from you and that you traded in, to give you everlasting life and connect you back to your creator and holy father in heaven! He cleanses the soul that a shower can't reach, he removes shame, guilt, mend the mind heart and soul where they were shattered, he heals relationships, families, wombs, gives hope, worthiness, peace, etc. I promise!!! Your debt is paid in full for all who will accept him and his forgiveness!!!
Pray with her and lead her to Jesus and repentance
@@mahoganysweets67 F**k you and grow a brain.
Wow, Chris has really deteriorated. I'm glad to see he is still alive, but heartbroken at his condition. I know his family is devastated.
His portrait breaks my heart 🥺 his face says it all. My brother who passed suffered from being schizoaffective. As much as I miss him, he’s in a better place. He would be 31 on Nov 20th. ❤
Schizophrenia is one of the saddest diseases. Many people that have it seem like they would live totally different lives if they were healthy. Wish this brother the best.

Been wanting an update on this guy for a while, wondering where he is, sucha good looking guy, especially in the first video compared to now, feel so sorry for him
I was hoping for a better life 😢God keep you brother.
These people are under demonic attack. As believers we have to understand this. If we strengthen our relationship with Christ we can reach them.
Long acting injectable psych meds would probably save this sguys life. Most schizophrenics don’t want to take meds when they are sick but once they get on the meds they see the value in taking them
Absolutely
Was in a schitzo effective pyschosis for an about 5 years and everything went to shit in my life. One cop with a heart took me to a psych ward vs jail and he saved my life. Since then I’m on a once a month anti psychotic injection. (Haldol) My life is stable and limited schitzo episodes
@@MABirkeland I’m so happy to hear that
The crystal meth doesn’t help. If he really is sleeping, that would help a lot, but extreme sleep deprivation makes even those without schizophrenia exhibit the same symptoms.
Thank you, Mark...for helping. I hope Chris feels better soon ❤
I imagine his family was glad to see their son connecting with you. Just to get word that he's ok must be a relief compared to not knowing.
These are the cases where i think mental health institutions are vital. This man needs intensive care. Protection , food, personal cares and medication management.
Prayers for him 🙏
So heartbreaking. My son is also 28 yrs old and has Schizophrenia. It took a while to get him stable on medications but he’s doing really well right now. I pray it stays that way. Chris, I’m praying for you and I hope you’re able to fight this horrible disease. 🙏🏽

My father had the same mental illness and also went to MIT. He was an engineering writer. Brilliant man with an IQ of 150. He worked for Lockheed, IBM, Pratt & Whitney, nuclear submarines, tanks with laser technology, etc. But after a couple decades he didn’t like ever taking the medicine because of the side effects so he stopped taking it. He lived on and off the streets. He since passed away. It’s a brutal illness. Chemical brain imbalance. Very sad😞
It is heartbreaking to my heart as a mother! I cannot imagine the parents of this boy...this is a brutal ilness 😢❤

@@CodisrocksGod bless you, it may not be easy for you to feel sympathy for others. While you may be blessed with perfect health and in the state of that you fuel it with ignorance, there are other people who are less fortunate and don’t have the same privilege as you. Be grateful for what you have cause this same illness could’ve happened to you. God bless.
One of the toughest disorders to have. I worked for a Psychologist for 8 years and one my guys in the day program was Schizophrenic. Broke my heart. Some days I was scared, other days we would laugh. He was always calm when I played Usher’s Confession. He knew verse for verse and had an amazing voice. It’s sad to see this DO Rob so many people.😢
When Chris said “he’s content with getting another life” that broke me, had me in tears 😢
He doesn't even look the same 😨
Poor guy. I hope Mark and Chris’s dad can help him… He seems like a good guy who is totally lost with his schizophrenia.
Didn’t recognize him at first. I’m glad there is an update even if it’s not good, at least he’s alive.
Absolutely heartbreaking. My nephew is schizophrenic and is stable only due to a monthly injection along with daily medication(s). And that combination took a long time for the doctors to establish, filled with many terrifying incidents along the way. Compliance is a daily struggle and is practically a full time job for my brother. It is a horrible condition. I hope Chris and his family can find a way to get the help he needs.
I've never heard of an injection, my brother has this disorder too but still working on the insurance process, interesting

Lots of people don't know how sick they really are until something bad happens or until they get triggered and do something way out of left field
@@FollowingJesus17 absolutely agree with you
Heartbreaking. He is so profoundly ill. Schizophrenia is such a cruel disease. I hope Chris gets the help he needs.
He is not ok. So sad to see him suffering so much. He isn’t capable of getting himself help, unfortunately. I believe schizophrenia to be one of the worst mental illnesses to live with
im schizo affective and lucky to never be on the streets, ive been in psychiatry for years and on medication now, but still have symptoms. substances were a huge factor for causing my psychosis so i hope he manages it. hes probably self medicating, being psychotic can be hell
Yeah meth and fentanyl can't be helping his mental state. I'm hoping his dad can help him find treatment.
@@sepdawg33 oh his dad will definitely find a treatment centre but will he go? That is the question.

Thank-you for your spotlight on mental illness. It is rough for people who have it and equally rough for their family members. Sadly the stigma never goes away. No one can accept it as part of their, our humanity. Before he died, my son Jantzen's best friend suffered from Schizophrenia. I met him several times with Jantzen. I told him he was the same as us as everybody but he was better because he accepted help. He was so affected by Jantzen's death, he could not come to the funeral. Jantzen was killed while biking by a negligent driver. I know this is not a popular thought, but I think we all have some mental illness. I actually think this has contributed to the rise of religiosity - or why religions exist to control the narrative or explanation for mental illness. Acceptance is key. Getting help is key. Getting help should not have such a negative connotation about it. We all need help at different points.
Might as well say we all have cancer, we are all diabetics too.
The same way that somebody can be completely physically healthy, they can be completely mentally healthy.
Perhaps you're around the wrong people
@@southphillylilly that’s what you took from this comment?
@@southphillylilly I understand your point. Cancer and Diabetes are currently not used as control factors by outside influencers (such as religion) for the people who suffer them. Mental illness still is used as a control factor by outside influencers. That is why I brought it up. I believe it is why the stigma around mental illness still remains which does not exist for cancer or diabetes patients.
I think the more we steer away from religion the more mentally ill we become
Very well said
My heart breaks for his family who is watching this. Please stay strong. Bless you Mark for keeping in touch with them.
Seems he’s gotten worse since his first video 🥺 I was rooting for him. ❤
Chris ~ Thank you for sharing your story. I am hoping you will allow your family to help and love you soon. Thank you Mark for all you do in trying to make this happen.
Oh, Mark. I hear it in your voice at the end. God bless you for doing what you do, and prayers for Chris (and you).
This poor young man, a lost soul. It has to be so heartbreaking for his family to see him in this condition.
I hope he agreed to go to the hospital for help, after you spoke with his Dad ~ Thank You for all you do Mark ~
This is really sad. I wonder what Mark says to this young man’s dad. I’m assuming Mark looks out for this guy when he can if he knows his dad.
I was wondering about him recently and went back and watched his videos. Bless his heart
Mark!!! I am Soo happy you speak with these people's family and stay in touch or keep updated with them. Not a lot of people would do that. God Bless You 🙏 Your truly an amazing person.
.Love the way he pulls a few stuck ones out of the barriers - picking a winner. This guy is in a really bad way but sadly has no idea of how far he has fallen into the abyss
Schizophrenia and meth is an insanely terrible combination 😢
Meth users have a hard enough time with psychosis I couldn't image what he's going though its exhausting watching him fight the distractions and voices in his head.
even amfetamine can trigger schizophrenia after a couple of uses. Yeah it was a good times, still suffering from paranoid schizofrenia, but I do take my drugs, they help if you dose it right. Once after a year and a half being completely sober apart from nicotine i got an attack. I dont remember much, but i once again try and try to be sober, even weed can trigger an relapse - and it couse schizophrenias if used in young ages (not for all). I cry watching this man, because I know if not my mother I had been dead a lot of years ago. I remember his first video - he was completely tripping but I understood about what he was talking and how he felt. We have not a lot of homeless people here in lithuania. always give them money if i can, I don't question if they will spend it on booze or drugs. Thats how my alcoholic babtizing father told me - if someone asks you must give, I give even without asking if i see a homeless person, thats why we are human.
💯
i used to smoke meth 3 months clean i can confirm the lack of sleep can contribute to psychosis
Won’t lie this was really kinda heart breaking to see .. being a single dad , this really puts a lot of things in perspective. We all have problems in life but we needa be grateful for even the smallest things cus some ppl don’t even have that. I really thank God everyday man I really do!
I hope you connected him with his family and they can help him get his medication back on track. His deterioration from the last time shows how important keeping on track with medication is and how quickly spirals can occur. Praying for you, Chris.
There you are! Oh Chris, how you worry us all. I love you man. 🙏❤
I just discovery your channel and Chris yesterday (2021 video) and today you uploaded an update. Crazy.
This is so sad . Chris is just lost , his eyes look haunted. I pray he gets help 🙏 His family must be devastated .
This is heartbreaking to watch. Poor sweetie. He didn’t ask for this, but he suffers. Idk what I’d do if my son developed schizophrenia. My son already had a mental health crisis with ocd a few years ago that was heartbreaking enough. He’s still healing from that. I would die if my son was out on the streets like this. So vulnerable and unprotected. Heartbreaking.
This runs in my family and it is heartbreaking to watch a loved one basically become a totally different person.

Sums up my life too brother😂
It's a living.
I have 2 schizophrenic cousins, one struggled on and off with addiction and took their own life a few years ago, she had a job and a house and an overall decent life, but i guess maybe it just got to be too much. My other one is still here and has been at the same job in the same house for many many years and hes been consistent with his medication throughout all that time, but i know when both of them first started their medication, they had a hard time with it because they just dont feel like themselves on it.
I really appreciate how kind and patient you are with all these people you interview, kudos to you.

How insincere of you.
Praying for you bro🙏🙏I’m 25 and also have schizophrenia by all means he needs to start taking the medication and stop all drug use including weed my schizophrenia was caused by weed and even tho it may seem that drugs may help cope with schizophrenia it only makes it much much worse.

My grandson of age 19 was just diagnosed, any advise ?
@@sheilastrickland3202 omg that was the same year I got diagnosed haha…. Make sure he is consistent with medication, maintains a healthy relationship with his family, has a healthy lifestyle (diet/exercise) and stays away from ALL drugs. If he’s able to do this he will most definitely be in the best condition he can possibly be in. Praying for you and your grandson, you guys are in Gods hands and anything is possible 🙏🤲🙌
@@sheilastrickland3202is he on a antipsychotic? Schizophrenia is a spectrum disorder so everyone presents differently. Make sure he takes his medication and stays away from substances. A lot of young people are getting Schizophrenia from marijuana and edibles, this new stuff has a high THC count that triggers Schizophrenia in those that are genetically predisposed.
What helped you realize that the medication is helping you? Or have you been open to it from the beginning? If I may ask you 🙏

He’s so sick. He presents like someone who has Disorganized Schizophrenia. It will only get worse, especially without treatment. He needs to be kept safe.

Truth be told
This is so heartbreaking seeing the video from 7 months ago to current day. Our mental health resources are not good along with the needs of people with mental health disorders such as survival housing, food, medical care. I appreciate this platform is attempting to help people and show the world the truth of this mental health disease. I hope Chris can get the help he needs and somehow get better.
My heart breaks for this young man, his family loves him dearly, God bless him!
People with Schizophrenia are difficult to help in any way that they aren’t willing to accept. They start and stop medication all the time and can end up a danger to themselves and others. I hope more people w this disorder understand why not having children can be beneficial . That’s just my opinion.
The systemic failure that's apparent in this country just by the fact that Chris is suffering homeless while being so mentally ill is appalling. We have people in this country that have more money than god and those most in need, the helpless, are left out in the cold. Mark, you are such an inspiration for how those of us who are privileged enough should be directing our efforts.
Gone are the days were one got institutionalized . His family would have to go to court & I don't think it would be an easy process as Chris has some awareness. He's not going to take his meds. Poor guy.
There are many homeless people with severe mental disorders and on drugs. It's sad
This is not how the economy works. All the money they have gets injected to products creates new jobs, etc. they are saving more lives that you ever will. Learn a bit about economy, dummy.
I am from Salt Lake City and I have seen Chris on the street and he is heartbreaking to see! I was on the video of his family and got curious and I found this video, I don’t know how I missed this update! I’m glad to see that he is still alive!
My heart breaks for this kid. My Grandpa had schizophrenia and it was bad when he was off his medication
Asking for video 'redo's' suggests that he wants to present better, perhaps, would like to be in a better place. Maybe ..... (maybe not ..... ) ..... your tender heart created a safe place for this young man.
I am laser focused on that thing on his elbow! Poor guy. This is so heartbreaking. My son has schizophrenia and thete is very little to find that is lucky about having this illness, but in my son's case, we're lucky he isn't homeless. Heartbreaking 💔
Bless you Chris, you seem much more lost than the first interview and i just wanna send you a hug xxx
My brother has this illness and became ill while serving in the military. He became homeless despite having a $3000 a month income. My grandpa also had it and tried to kill his 3 kids then ended up in a mental institution for 10 years.
This may offend or upset some but hear me out and try it!!!
Mental illness is connected to sin. An open door to demons and unclean spirits through generational curses, trauma and or sin.
I know this because I experienced it and because God's word tells us!!
When I repented of my sins, named them, repented of sins of my ancestors where they offered up their bloodline in exchange, when I named those I forgive and release of the trauma and pain they caused me, asked Jesus to forgive and deliver me, come into my heart and fill me with the holy Spirit of God, pleaded the blood of Jesus against all unholy covenants made with unclean spirits, and soul ties with those i fornicated with and the S.A, repented of sexual immorality, deeds done in the body and in the spirit realm (dreams)..... I promise he answered and the torment begin to end. I cried out to Jesus after going through an anxiety depression paranoia hopeless psychosis episode that had lasted over a month, the longest they ever had, I couldn't leave the house and barely my bed after I had thought I was doing so good and much better.
Jesus answered my cries and took me through deliverance, what to pray, decree and denounce, healed me and I'm so grateful!!! Stopped having night terrors and sleep paralysis too which is all spiritual and demons attacking you while physically asleep but your soul is in the spirit realm wide awake.
Anyway, what we all need is to turn back to God, accept Jesus and repent of sin, read the Bible and strive each day to choose and live for the glory of God!!!!
I pray this helps someone!! God bless you all ❤️🙏🌹🙌 Jesus has a new life, new identity, purpose and destiny for you, it's not too late, it's just the beginning...he loves you and came for the broken-hearted, those in chains, bondage, wrapped in sin and wickedness, he went to hell to bring you out of it and restore all that life has taken from you and that you traded in, to give you everlasting life and connect you back to your creator and holy father in heaven! He cleanses the soul that a shower can't reach, he removes shame, guilt, mend the mind heart and soul where they were shattered, he heals relationships, families, wombs, gives hope, worthiness, peace, etc. I promise!!! Your debt is paid in full for all who will accept him and his forgiveness!!!
You can break this generational curse off your bloodline through prayer and creating a covenant with Jesus to spiritually protect your offspring and family going forward!! Repent for sins and spiritual doors your ancestors opened to demonic spirits and plead the blood of Jesus against all covenants made with the kingdom of darkness on your bloodline that they be destroyed!!!
How would you like to admit you're schizophrenic? A mental illness that most wouldn't like to admit to.
Mental illnesses need to be treated fairly. Not like their beneath people. No judgment
I am so happy to see he is alive, Mark please let us know if he accepts help and reconnects with his Dad. I know from my own past how tormented he is. I pray safety over him and his own strength to get help. To Chris' family: Please know that healing of that magnitude is possible. I am sober almost 6 years now and I no longer need medicines of any kind. I had drug-induced schizophrenia. I am a home-owner and a single mom of three children. My family never gave up on me and now our relationship is better than ever.
Unfortunately drug induced schizophrenia isn’t the same as chronic schizophrenia.
"Mark can we do this interview over again"
Shows how scatered his brain is,interesting and educational video.
Thank you Mark.
People with schizophrenia shouldn’t be sent to jail for minor things they should be looked after in hospital but sadly like alot of people they get lost in the fucked up corrupt system
Thank you Mark, for keeping up with him, but it hurts to know he's not doing better.
At around 8:10 He says we can redo this if you want, meaning: he's paranoid and he feels he might not be giving you the right responses or answers. Constantly confused, yet in all honesty he's letting you know.
This is so crushing. Everyone deserves grace.
This is a good example of what’s wrong with mental health. How pitiful
He needs to be clean and be on medication for schizophrenia!! ❤
Sad. God, help him. My mom is schizophrenia and doesn't live on the streets. She's high functioning except when she goes off her meds. We have to file for an emergency petition through the local courts to have her hospitalized.

Pray for and with her, lead her to Jesus and to repent of sin!! Plead the blood of Jesus against all sin and spiritual doors your ancestors opened to your bloodline, against witchcraft etc and create a covenant with Jesus and it will break this generational curse!!
Poor dude gets skinnier in every video. Wishing for the best for him.
Wow I was just wondering about about Chris.. Again thank you for keeping up with your past interviewee’s ❤.. the weight has completely gone from him. 🙏
This is very sad. He is deteriorating badly.
Heart goes out to those with this illness. I lost my brother this year, he struggled to maintain the medications, it became worst over time.
It's so sad to see people like this. My aunt is a schizophrenic and she is the same way. My parents tried helping her. She got pissed and still to this day says she doesn't have schizophrenia. Seems like there is nothing you can do for these people. Scary stuff, man.
Yeah people will admit a lot of stuff and conditions they have but not when it comes to schizophrenia
Lord Jesus, may we ask you to watch over Chris, and bring him your healing and protection. We ask this for our brother Chris in his time of sickness. Restore his spirit and his body Lord. 🙏 Amen.
God doesnt exist and religion is a human made brainwash hoax
lord Jesus made him this way fool
@@toebiter69Satan made him this way fool
@@indyjoybloomsfictional characters in your children's books didn't do this, fool.
R u seriously that uneducated?it's a physiological disease not a demonic one🙄🙄
I struggle with schizophrenia with a good support network. I can't imagine how hard it will be if I was living on the streets.
Stay strong ❤
You got this
@@Liz-ee2ym Thank you. I am in a much better place.
My son has a version of this illness, it is a daily struggle to keep him focused and on the right path. The hardest thing is to keep someone like this engaged with taking their medication. Without medication the hope for any kind of a normal life is extremely hard unfortunately and the medication makes them sleep a very long time, so they eventually don't want to take it anymore. I feel for him and his family. I hope he gets the help he needs. I know his family is going through it with him while he's away.😢

5:38 brought me to tears. He looks so hurt, scared, and lost. 😢 Poor guy.
