My dad has never been able to accept it. He once picked me up at a funeral and asked why I wasn't crying. It's like, focus on your son and give up on me. It's over. What you did was wrong, but you've healed. My mom kept trying to get me help, but it was impossible. I joined the army and had a major relapse. It had waned a bit before. The stress destroyed me. My brain was completely destroyed then.
This was a great opportunity for me as a Mother to learn more about my son. he is 21 now and doing very well now. he has been to drs since he was 17. He started having difficutly at the age of 12, My son said but it was later like 15. He has some hard knocks in life but he had a great home life. My son is on 5 types of medication and has been on it for 2 years. He was actually diagnosed with OCD first, later it was Bi Polar NOS. and schizotypal.
My Son is 16 and a half. His first psychosis was appx 10 months ago. He is adopted and his biological family has a lot of similar situations. We love our Son very much and he is recieving excellent care. Thank you for sharing your story. It really gives me hope for my Son's recovery may God bless you, your Son and your family. Mary Ellen
This is a must see for someone looking for a understanding of Schizophrenia I have two brothers and a niece with this disorder and this gentleman is spot on in most areas .
finally someone gets the sensory "hallucination"right, i learned how to focus my senses and concentration to tell that all these stuff arent hallucinations. schizophrenia doesnt cause hallucinations and delusions, but the person might get so paranoid they start to hallucinate and become delusional during psychosis. aside from that there are adrenal senses. this is the best educational video i've seen on schizophrenia i have it and the more i learn the less i seem to know.
I do think there needs to be an equal emphasis on therapy, which has decreased in recent years. I also think there is leeway medication-wise with illnesses like depression, but I've never heard of a viable treatment for psychosis that doesn't incorporate medication in some way. I think there is a lack of public understanding on how mental illnesses need to be thought of more like chronic disease. Medications for illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, etc.
thnx for this informative video....man we take a LOT for granted...was inspired to watch this after suspecting a colleague of suffering from it....hurts how us "normal" savages treat those people for something entirely not their fault.
***** There are similarities between schizophrenia experiences and there are major differences. Using meth does not produce an idea of what it is like, especially when it is uncontrollable and daily, all day everyday and can be very dramatic and awful. I've never used meth but I do know schizophrenia is a disease of the mind. It takes over. Using meth is a choice. And the symptoms for schizophrenia vary greatly.
Mad Mind Chatter Look up amphetamine induced psychosis. Long term Meth use will make people psychotic, This is widely known. The Japanese some time ago used amphetamines to help boost productivity in the work force, what they didn't predict was after a while, they all became paranoid and delusional, many heard voices others couldn't hear. The symptoms are almost IDENTICLE. This isn't anything unknown though, it is common knowledge that repeated Meth use can cause latent schizophrenia by sensitizing the brain to dopamine (you do know that dopamine plays a huge role in schizophrenia right?) The only real difference being that amphetamine psychosis is temporary while schizophrenia is chronic so your entire comment was not necessary.
Thanks for your response. My doctor would not give me Ritalin because he said it caused psychosis and Ritalin is a form of meth. I understand more now. Thanks again.
Remember brothers and sisters that no matter what you go threw in this worlds others have gone threw worse and best thing is to keep patient that this world is only a test and the next is eternal bliss , not this wordless world that is not worth loosing your hope .
I really wish that I could make myself believe in this imaginary "next world" which is obviously just a defense mechanism to help one withstand all the tribulations of this world-The only real one which exists.
I'm sorry you feel like that. I used to be like you. Not that I'm thrilled and shining now every day, but behind daily problems and frustrations, life has beauty in small details and messages. You have to look for ways to find those beautiful things...
I was in a group home with this one guy who had schizophrenia really, really bad. You couldn't even carry a conversation with him. He did tell me one time that he wished happy people would drink frog piss and die. My schizophrenia doesn't show up until I try to use higher thinking or talk for a prolonged time, which is why I prefer to type. My teacher doesn't understand my associations, and I'm making a low "B" in his class. I have to work extra hard to talk to humans. Unlettered people think I'm poetic, deep and abstract. Unfortunately, my teachers know better. I'm wondering if I've progressed to having an old disorder they don't talk about anymore, which is simple schizophrenia.
I can't believe how old this video is but it is like dead on what's happening to me right now. I'm fucking floored by how he is saying what I'm feeling and describing my symptoms in a way I can understand because nothing is really making sense to me especially myself. I'm paranoid, I'm having a visual hallucination for days now.. So many other things that are said in this video. I'm writing down in my journal as best I can but it makes my feelings intensify because I can't write clearly and.. God is anyone else feelings like this right now? I'm afraid to talk to my friends or anyone because I am afraid of what I sound like. I'm afraid they will judge me or something.
I haven't watched this video yet but I've read that schizophrenia is linked to differences in the brain from birth, hereditary or not (because you don't have to have a close relative with schizophrenia to get it), such as wiring mis-connections or other physical differences in brain anatomy. It is possibly linked to smaller brain size and bigger ventricles, but they don't know if that is actually caused by the medication.
Listenin to what this guy is sayin at 2am about outside noises an shit, gives me another reason why i just wish I could move, livin in a apartment is too much for me now, for over a year I've been too scared basically of my neighbors to take out trash so I've become a hoarder an I can't sleep at night cause the people upstairs stay up all night an stomp all over the floor an vacuum at night an every noise just pisses me off now an makes me feel gross, constant doors closin an openin, people leavin papers on my door, knockin on my door, it all gives me so much dang anxiety, I stopped workin where I was too from not wantin to touch the " clock " so I just left notes an they thought I quit, I guess I went off the deep end on that one, now I gotta find a new job, I gotta clean my hoarded apartment an buy new light bulbs also so I can clean cause all the lights in my apartment don't work no more, I guess I've become a hermit, I don't even like goin to the stores anymore, I pretty much only go to the same gas station an just wait for everyone to leave before I go in just so I'm alone because I have a serious pet peev where I hate when people can't wait a moment for me to leave the counter an get my stuff before comin up next to me an up on me an my stuff stresses me out so bad I gotta wash my dang hands to feel normal again an relieve my stress, I gotta get my hoarded ass place together tomorrow an get these gnats gone cause I'm losin it.
I've experienced the same thing with noises. It's a stress response and it's quite severe I've got to admit! It's more like PTSD, it's not schizophrenia for sure!!!!. Physiologically you are very likely depleted of Vitamins B's, especially Thiamine ( Vit B1). Hope this helps
can potentially cause significant physical damage, but are still very necessary. Much of the stigma of mental illness is rooted in misconceptions about how much control we have over our minds. You wouldn't ask a diabetic to will themselves out of insulin resistance, and I feel the same mindset should apply to mental illness.
Childhood experiences can have an influence on developed a psychiatric desease. So many people with the illness have some childhood trauma. Very well with the ideals of treating the illness with help of other methods that medication, but unfurtunately the only treatment I got was massive dosisses of psychiatric drugs wich destroys your life, your brain, cognitive function and you experience the most horrific side effects. My psychiatrists didn't want to help me of my meds and thought I would be ill for ever, but I proofed them wrong. I wish I had the support of my family, but I didn't. I'm well now and have a life again.
Monica Havemann you have a completely incorrect idea of what schizophrenia is. It has NOTHING to do with your "childhood experiences". Schizophrenia is an organic disease that happens to afflict the brain. What you wrote is ridiculous. That's akin to saying that you had a bad childhood & you were raised by your alcoholic aunt and this and that and so on but now you have diabetes. It makes no sense, whatsoever. And, yes, any psychiatrist who is worth anything is obviously going to put you on the necessary medications. Being schizophrenic is not the same as having a melancholy outlook or some vague neurotic aptitude: you'll never get any relief from your schizophrenia by not taking the right medications and just going to some non-MD therapist. You'll only get worse and you're going to end up either killing yourself or you'll be in & out of hospitals for the rest of your life. You should really take the time to educate yourself about what schizophrenia actually is. Most of what's come before, in the way of trying to treat this disease has been ineffective, at best and counterproductive. It's only been in the past 30 years or so in which there has finally been some breakthroughs in the field which can now enable many people with schizophrenia to get on the right medications and become lucid for longer periods, without psychotic breaks and even making the psychotic episodes lesser and lesser. If you are that far out of touch with reality then you ought to either let your psychiatrist do his job and take the damn meds. It's very simple. If you are so against taking anti-psychotic medications then you're the one who's going to suffer the most. This sort of "anti-psychiatry" attitude is a relic of the worst failures of the 1960s. And also, anyone (not saying you) who actually believes that schizophrenia has ANY "hidden blessings" is a deluded idiot who has never had any experience with the disease, whether it be first hand or second hand.
that's what people like Freud said, 140 years ago. Medicine has come a long way since then. (and you don't burn evil spirits out of "possessed" people (ha ha ha) anymore, either.
Schizophrenia cannot ever be understood: Schizophrenia is a by product of life and the progression of the human Psyche: Some can use it to advance their lives in Art and Music: I would propose its hard to trust any expert with PSY in their job description:
Good to learn a bit more about this fucking God-awful illness, i've had it since I was six and i'm extremely paranoid, i've started hallucinating now, for example just random, long-dead family members popping up in the street, if I attempt to talk to them, people look at me like i'm batshit insane. Same happens with horror movie creatures like zombies or aliens. Also, I hear about three voices, all of them contribute to the mass paranoia.
i wanna add that lamictal is a miracle medication for me and really helps with clearing the mind and gets rid of all the manic thoughts and such but that's in bipolar.
It is not a matter of either ,or,because we now know that prolonged stress can alter the wiring and biochemistry of the body and brain,making it more difficult for the brain to screen out excess sensory import.living a simpler quotes life,allows you to still enjoy in doses you moderate,the exquisteness of life,in nature,ocean and creative pursuits,art,music,literature etc. You learn and control the time and amounts,your environment and feed your brain well nutrionally.good sleep calms overarousal and a contemplative prayer life nourishes and strengthens your spirit and is protective of your psyche.
My guess is that he was citing prevalence (how many people have it) and she was citing incidence (new cases per year). Current estimates are about 0.7 per 100 and 1.5 per 10,000, respectively.
Huh? At 8 20 he says that 1 in 100 people have it, then right after the infographic lady says 1 in 10,000 people "come down with schizophrenia" - can anyone explain?
This is an old documentary, now they have new theories that explain schizophrenia from the "brain connectome" perspective, focusing more in how neurons are connected in a schizophrenic person. Also, new researches in genetics help to understand schizophrenia in particular the process of how brain connections are excessively pruning in adolescence and young adulthood. More over the role of glutamate or -the brain's "gas"- in schizophrenia is now the focus of new scientific research projects while the old dopamine theory of schizophrenia is losing its grip.
How has the narrator defined the disease? How does he suggest it be treated? How common is the disorder? Who gets it - when? What does this mean? What is the private inner personal experience? What is the public experience: the clinical characteristics or otherwise known as symptoms ? What are the social responses and implications?
Well, I hope this Dr. doesn't take this personal - but his monotone boring sit down lecture made it hard for me to remember the answer to any of these questions. The most memorable being - when they added all the sounds and goings on over his lecture showing how hard it can be for schizophrenics to concentrate and "hear" you.
this video seems like it was intended more for a classroom-type setting, like the narrator mentioned in the beginning: it's divided into 7 parts, I believe and after each section is done, the point of it is to turn off the tape then review what was just talked about in the portion just watched. "Review and discuss", so, ideally, the best way to experience this particular presentation is to go through one part at a time, stop tape & have a discussion, formal or informal, between whomever's watching it, be it a class a group of students, teachers or even just a group of interested parties. But I also noticed that the sound quality of the tape was quite off...that metallic, "echo-y" sound; it can be kind of grating. It's like they're trying to give you the full "psychotic experience" when watching it (LOL)!!
I definitely see your point. I still feel these medications are valuable (though we need to keep working to find better ones) for schizophrenic people because otherwise most would be nonfunctional without them.
It's very helpful for me Dr, My 30 yrs son suffering since 11moth , he is argue to take his medicine, now he jumb out of the house, Dr please give your advice
Janoordeen Aboobuker I’m going through this with my brother. I have convinced him to take his medication by telling him it is mainly for his anxiety and will keep him calm. You are not alone. I have never cried so much in my life.
He implies that he knows what schizophrenia actually is, and therefore he brings certainty into the equation. To reach a certainty of something, one must fully encompass it. In doing this, no stone is left unturned, thus no questions are left unanswered. Due to the topic being that of an improper functioning of the mind, one must first know of the proper functioning of the mind, and do so such that one can be related to the other. Thus to achieve certainty, one must first know what consciousness is, thus know how it works, and how to create it. But this has not yet been accomplished ! Therefore it is to be noted that in this day and age, it is still being assumed that one can see the entirety of something by seeing only a mere portion of its entirety. Thus the very idea is still being accepted that the portion is large enough to encompass the entirety of that which it is a portion of. In turn, sheer madness of such a nature, is still considered to be a completely acceptable normal function of the "intellectual" minds of today. Thus it is to be noted that these intellectual minds, which are partially insane and thus are detached from reality, are the very same minds who are given the position of authority to classify other people into separate groups of the sane, and the insane.
schizophrenia has been proven to make you function akin to retardation during the psychosis phase. Fortunetly it improves with treatment but the deficiets still remain and the best result is below average cognitive functioning
He's referring to the marked distinctions in the brains of schizophrenic people compared to non-schizophrenics. There's also been a proven link between head trauma, drug use, genetics, and other factors in those who have been diagnosed as schizophrenics. Where is the proof that anti-psychotic medications cause brain damage?
I dislike their ignoring of the metabolic part of the illness, food allergies of gluten and milk products, as well as nutritional imbalances and deficiencies, claiming it ton not be known to have any effect! That is outright lying; it is very well known, and older literature full of the metabolic connectiion. Passing over the toxin part that he mentions at the end too, just mentioning that the brain takes cigarettes and alcohol as toxins, as if it were not of big importance to detox heavy metals etc from illegal drug use and cigarettes. And to inform patients strongly on the bad effects of coffee and cigarettes on hindering them from getting well! But I am grateful that he mentions that at least, so I can use it as a n argument with upbacking apart from my own knowledge of coffee stimulating and arousing the adrenals for stress. He should tell of how the meds shrink their brains and taxes their Liver and is not harmless at all, and motivate patients to do natural things to get well or better. But they make money on med. Also spiritual and soul nourishing-strengthening practises help heal, prayer and meditation, as in all other illnesses. He should tell also the importance of receiving help from close ones and not think one wants o get well alone, which the disease is too hard for.Pride must be set aside if wanting to be better, it is still an achievement .The thinking ability is too compromised, and the will-weakening of habitual abuses makesit all but impossible to manage on ones own, depression with its inertia and maybe burn'out from druggung and sleep deprivation too. Good they say the importance of sleep for managing the illness and for recovery.He forgot to mention the dangers of sedentary life on heart and blood vessels, increasing risk of stroke, tromboses and heart attack. i do hope the light of the Father God gets in to everyone, waking them up to want to heal or get better! It is so sad how many lives are destroyed and lived on as shadows unnecessarily.
i know it can't completely be controlled but wouldn't a strong benzo help with the paranoia? i am bipolar 2 and i sometimes have panic attacks with minor psychosis but when i take my klonopin it kills it...i become rational and think, why the fuck was i trippin out so badly? i feel for these people, i couldn't imagine.
Both MRIs of brain structure and activity are different in a schizophrenic person's brain ( schizophrenia(dot)com/disease.htm#neurological ). My major criticism of your post is that there is a distinction between organs and the psyche. I feel that mental illness is rooted in a genetic predisposition that gets triggered by environmental factors (head trauma, illicit drug use, family dynamic, etc.) which results in brain abnormalities. The psyche is a product of the brain, and so I don't think
I wonder if ADD/ADHD could be considered a type of very mild schizophrenia. In the example @14:02 the background sounds are supposed hallucinations, but with ADD, often real background sounds (not hallucinations) are so present in the person's mind that he/she can't focus on one certain thing. It's like everything is loud so if one person is talking to them in the midst of that, the voice get washed out. (That's my experience).
Please...I am not trying to discredit your questions. I am merely looking to gain knowledge. Previously, I have been "attacked" for even asking questions on such things... Peace.
In the 1980s and 1990s Embalming fluid was mostly use as medication since then things of gotten better thankfully. That’s the way I’ve always experienced it anyway
They DO have a higher prevelence of violence than others. I know 5 with it and all but one have harmed others or engage in crime. One is sentenced for violence aswell. Theyre often on drugs too.
What do you mean with your sixth question, specfically? I also am interested in what you mean by "social respnsibilites" in your question seven. Private (inner-personal) experience is non-sequiter in most cases of schizophrenia because of brain chemistry being unbalanced. No dispute from me on your questions, but I'd like input to understand more about schzophrenia. Peace.
The information on the history of schizophrenia is incorrect. The term itself is a misnomer meaning "split mind" coined by Eugen Bleuler (not Manfred) at the Burgholzli Institute in Switzerland. He redefined the symptomatology described by Emil Kraepelin of the University of Heidelberg in Germany. Both Bleuler and Kraepelin were eugenists and followers of Francis Galton's racist, elitist theories of racial and class inferiority and superiority and what should be done about it (sterilization and segregation of 'undesirable' individuals, classes and races). People diagnosed with schizophrenia were the first people targeted for mass-murder by the Nazis, led by Karl Schneider also of the Heidelberg University under the Aktion T4 program.
Loss of affect! The effect of damping down Limbic brain structures and emotional functioning with Neuroleptic meds..I wish they were more honest about this aspect..
he talks about social situations and difficulty relating to people.. no shit if I see people getting distorted like that ..I'm going to have difficulty relating to people as well
There are so many versions of schizophrenia. It makes it a hard to understand the real disease because the label appears only as a symptom. You show the symptom of schizophrenia. Your brain damage is, however, unique and has a root cause. Many families lie and blame the patient, especially when PTSD progresses, and the patient shows schizophrenia. The doctors start to dramatize it. They should work on finding all the causes before doing anything else, anymore research. Some people did drugs. Some people were "dirty fighting" as another schizophrenia video shows. There are also people who have been hit in the head. For some weird reason, a lot of patients only remember a short time before their illness, and they even seem to confess its origin. I think they should use more cue cards.
excellent presentation.More drugs have come to market since 1998 which have proved to be very beneficial. multi drug combo treatment,CBT and rehab programs have helped. Nicotine has been found to be very helpful in alleviating some symptoms too .Nicotinic receptors suppressing? or augmenting D2????
The treatment for schizophrenia develops , evolves and improves. It is important to if a patient the need to return to full health always a priority, if family friends that support away from stuck.( Able to be with or in a room with other people I'd not a way to manage life. The imprisonment continues to that point where the patient is making his her devisions and not been protected from these decisions. Knowing I need to work eat clean because if the affect this will have it if I don't as above the effect that will have it not have. Feeling pain when I have the ability to say be the reason I stepped Inti pain not deliberately but say in pursuit of freedoms then I found I made a mistake. By not taking the person's autonomy to say you must now leave it the admission wards are open you can admit yourself or be dol. Sectioned deprived if your liberty the freedom is then to be in charge I feel the pain I take me out therefore a self better managubg life's challenges and issues can be looked better at from with in and values have a better cornerstone. These are just. Some if nit just medication that makes life far far better. Working safely is important to you and others . This gives y ok I estemn by how other see see you as nd your eyes see Thier expressions. . recover often surpasses just ones first episodes. That. Builds may be because n as by Carers and medical teams enjoy improving as much as any person and know a lot more. So by just been there helps .
Been working with scizophrenic people for 3 years, and claims to be an expert? Hell..i lived with a paronoid schrenic mother all my life and im 69 now. You tell me whos the expert?
I found after my first nervous breakdown, that the English side of my family, left me for dead, and the irish side were very warm, inviting me to see them, in Ireland. its probably because Frankenstein and his monster, don't loom as large in irish culture... or something like that.

so many ifs and buts, hardly meets the standards of orthodox science to many over looked variables to make such certain claims as fact. At best this is a compilation of research of known patients.
says the guy with the froyd copy cat look. jesus. it seems to me that he believes a more wide attension and/or highter sensitivity to be some kind of mental illness that is inhereted biologically.?. most of the symptoms they give seems like high emotional inteligence and empathy . . .

Not quite lol
My dad has never been able to accept it. He once picked me up at a funeral and asked why I wasn't crying. It's like, focus on your son and give up on me. It's over. What you did was wrong, but you've healed. My mom kept trying to get me help, but it was impossible. I joined the army and had a major relapse. It had waned a bit before. The stress destroyed me. My brain was completely destroyed then.
Kaela Creighton I hope you’re ok now. Are you taking medication?
Seek peace and just be .
Joining the army...oeff. i could't think of a worse kind of job for someone with schizo
This was a great opportunity for me as a Mother to learn more about my son. he is 21 now and doing very well now. he has been to drs since he was 17.

This is a must see for someone looking for a understanding of Schizophrenia I have two brothers and a niece with this disorder and this gentleman is spot on in most areas .
finally someone gets the sensory "hallucination"right, i learned how to focus my senses and concentration to tell that all these stuff arent hallucinations. schizophrenia doesnt cause hallucinations and delusions, but the person might get so paranoid they start to hallucinate and become delusional during psychosis. aside from that there are adrenal senses. this is the best educational video i've seen on schizophrenia i have it and the more i learn the less i seem to know.
0ppp
Adrenal Senses can be a horrifying experience. They alter your very perception. Not cool.
I do think there needs to be an equal emphasis on therapy, which has decreased in recent years. I also think there is leeway medication-wise with illnesses like depression, but I've never heard of a viable treatment for psychosis that doesn't incorporate medication in some way. I think there is a lack of public understanding on how mental illnesses need to be thought of more like chronic disease. Medications for illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, etc.
I find this presentation very usefull for understanding purposes. Thank you!
thnx for this informative video....man we take a LOT for granted...was inspired to watch this after suspecting a colleague of suffering from it....hurts how us "normal" savages treat those people for something entirely not their fault.
You want to know what it feels like to be a schizophrenic. Do METH. Same exact symptoms including voices and everything.
***** There are similarities between schizophrenia experiences and there are major differences. Using meth does not produce an idea of what it is like, especially when it is uncontrollable and daily, all day everyday and can be very dramatic and awful. I've never used meth but I do know schizophrenia is a disease of the mind. It takes over. Using meth is a choice. And the symptoms for schizophrenia vary greatly.

Thanks for your response. My doctor would not give me Ritalin because he said it caused psychosis and Ritalin is a form of meth. I understand more now.
Thanks again.

Great video,thanks for sharing knowledge on disease like Schizophrenia. Request to update video series on how to tackle side-effects of drugs.

What causes sociopathy ?
I can't believe how old this video is but it is like dead on what's happening to me right now.

did you end up getting help and medication?
I haven't watched this video yet but I've read that schizophrenia is linked to differences in the brain from birth, hereditary or not (because you don't have to have a close relative with schizophrenia to get it), such as wiring mis-connections or other physical differences in brain anatomy. It is possibly linked to smaller brain size and bigger ventricles, but they don't know if that is actually caused by the medication.
I don’t know this illness ruined my life mum and brother had it, thanks to nan who helped us. Dad didn’t like us only interested in my mum
Listenin to what this guy is sayin at 2am about outside noises an shit, gives me another reason why i just wish I could move, livin in a apartment is too much for me now, for over a year I've been too scared basically of my neighbors to take out trash so I've become a hoarder an I can't sleep at night cause the people upstairs stay up all night an stomp all over the floor an vacuum at night an every noise just pisses me off now an makes me feel gross, constant doors closin an openin, people leavin papers on my door, knockin on my door, it all gives me so much dang anxiety, I stopped workin where I was too from not wantin to touch the " clock " so I just left notes an they thought I quit, I guess I went off the deep end on that one, now I gotta find a new job, I gotta clean my hoarded apartment an buy new light bulbs also so I can clean cause all the lights in my apartment don't work no more, I guess I've become a hermit, I don't even like goin to the stores anymore, I pretty much only go to the same gas station an just wait for everyone to leave before I go in just so I'm alone because I have a serious pet peev where I hate when people can't wait a moment for me to leave the counter an get my stuff before comin up next to me an up on me an my stuff stresses me out so bad I gotta wash my dang hands to feel normal again an relieve my stress, I gotta get my hoarded ass place together tomorrow an get these gnats gone cause I'm losin it.
I've experienced the same thing with noises. It's a stress response and it's quite severe I've got to admit!
It's more like PTSD, it's not schizophrenia for sure!!!!.
Physiologically you are very likely depleted of Vitamins B's, especially Thiamine ( Vit B1).
Hope this helps
Thank you so very much for this.
The sound quality could be better... :(
True. This is very good information, however, and it is free.
can potentially cause significant physical damage, but are still very necessary. Much of the stigma of mental illness is rooted in misconceptions about how much control we have over our minds. You wouldn't ask a diabetic to will themselves out of insulin resistance, and I feel the same mindset should apply to mental illness.
Please overdub the soundtrack thank you
Childhood experiences can have an influence on developed a psychiatric desease. So many people with the illness have some childhood trauma. Very well with the ideals of treating the illness with help of other methods that medication, but unfurtunately the only treatment I got was massive dosisses of psychiatric drugs wich destroys your life, your brain, cognitive function and you experience the most horrific side effects. My psychiatrists didn't want to help me of my meds and thought I would be ill for ever, but I proofed them wrong. I wish I had the support of my family, but I didn't. I'm well now and have a life again.
Monica Haveman
Monica Havemann you have a completely incorrect idea of what schizophrenia is. It has NOTHING to do with your "childhood experiences". Schizophrenia is an organic disease that happens to afflict the brain. What you wrote is ridiculous. That's akin to saying that you had a bad childhood & you were raised by your alcoholic aunt and this and that and so on but now you have diabetes. It makes no sense, whatsoever. And, yes, any psychiatrist who is worth anything is obviously going to put you on the necessary medications. Being schizophrenic is not the same as having a melancholy outlook or some vague neurotic aptitude: you'll never get any relief from your schizophrenia by not taking the right medications and just going to some non-MD therapist. You'll only get worse and you're going to end up either killing yourself or you'll be in & out of hospitals for the rest of your life. You should really take the time to educate yourself about what schizophrenia actually is. Most of what's come before, in the way of trying to treat this disease has been ineffective, at best and counterproductive. It's only been in the past 30 years or so in which there has finally been some breakthroughs in the field which can now enable many people with schizophrenia to get on the right medications and become lucid for longer periods, without psychotic breaks and even making the psychotic episodes lesser and lesser. If you are that far out of touch with reality then you ought to either let your psychiatrist do his job and take the damn meds. It's very simple. If you are so against taking anti-psychotic medications then you're the one who's going to suffer the most. This sort of "anti-psychiatry" attitude is a relic of the worst failures of the 1960s. And also, anyone (not saying you) who actually believes that schizophrenia has ANY "hidden blessings" is a deluded idiot who has never had any experience with the disease, whether it be first hand or second hand.
that's what people like Freud said, 140 years ago. Medicine has come a long way since then. (and you don't burn evil spirits out of "possessed" people (ha ha ha) anymore, either.
Schizophrenia cannot ever be understood: Schizophrenia is a by product of life and the progression of the human Psyche: Some can use it to advance their lives in Art and Music:
I would propose its hard to trust any expert with PSY in their job description:
Good to learn a bit more about this fucking God-awful illness, i've had it since I was six and i'm extremely paranoid, i've started hallucinating now, for example just random, long-dead family members popping up in the street, if I attempt to talk to them, people look at me like i'm batshit insane. Same happens with horror movie creatures like zombies or aliens. Also, I hear about three voices, all of them contribute to the mass paranoia.
TurianArgonianQunari I hope you’re ok these days
i wanna add that lamictal is a miracle medication for me and really helps with clearing the mind and gets rid of all the manic thoughts and such but that's in bipolar.
It is not a matter of either ,or,because we now know that prolonged stress can alter the wiring and biochemistry of the body and brain,making it more difficult for the brain to screen out excess sensory import.living a simpler quotes life,allows you to still enjoy in doses you moderate,the exquisteness of life,in nature,ocean and creative pursuits,art,music,literature etc. You learn and control the time and amounts,your environment and feed your brain well nutrionally.good sleep calms overarousal and a contemplative prayer life nourishes and strengthens your spirit and is protective of your psyche.
My guess is that he was citing prevalence (how many people have it) and she was citing incidence (new cases per year). Current estimates are about 0.7 per 100 and 1.5 per 10,000, respectively.
Huh? At 8 20 he says that 1 in 100 people have it, then right after the infographic lady says 1 in 10,000 people "come down with schizophrenia" - can anyone explain?
The actual figure is 1 in 100
The real statistic in UK is 1 in 100
Thank you for this video, very helpful to a parent.
This is an old documentary, now they have new theories that explain schizophrenia from the "brain connectome" perspective, focusing more in how neurons are connected in a schizophrenic person. Also, new researches in genetics help to understand schizophrenia in particular the process of how brain connections are excessively pruning in adolescence and young adulthood. More over the role of glutamate or -the brain's "gas"- in schizophrenia is now the focus of new scientific research projects while the old dopamine theory of schizophrenia is losing its grip.

Thanks pal, thanks a lot.
why is there a line through. the brains gas
Very interesting indeed! I’m trying to understand what’s going on with my family member.
How has the narrator defined the disease?
How does he suggest it be treated?
How common is the disorder?
Who gets it - when? What does this mean?
What is the private inner personal experience?
What is the public experience: the clinical characteristics or otherwise known as symptoms ?
What are the social responses and implications?
Well, I hope this Dr. doesn't take this personal - but his monotone boring sit down lecture made it hard for me to remember the answer to any of these questions. The most memorable being - when they added all the sounds and goings on over his lecture showing how hard it can be for schizophrenics to concentrate and "hear" you.
this video seems like it was intended more for a classroom-type setting, like the narrator mentioned in the beginning: it's divided into 7 parts, I believe and after each section is done, the point of it is to turn off the tape then review what was just talked about in the portion just watched. "Review and discuss", so, ideally, the best way to experience this particular presentation is to go through one part at a time, stop tape & have a discussion, formal or informal, between whomever's watching it, be it a class a group of students, teachers or even just a group of interested parties. But I also noticed that the sound quality of the tape was quite off...that metallic, "echo-y" sound; it can be kind of grating. It's like they're trying to give you the full "psychotic experience" when watching it (LOL)!!
I definitely see your point. I still feel these medications are valuable (though we need to keep working to find better ones) for schizophrenic people because otherwise most would be nonfunctional without them.
Great Lecture
It's very helpful for me Dr,
My 30 yrs son suffering since 11moth , he is argue to take his medicine, now he jumb out of the house,
Dr please give your advice
Janoordeen Aboobuker I’m going through this with my brother. I have convinced him to take his medication by telling him it is mainly for his anxiety and will keep him calm. You are not alone. I have never cried so much in my life.
Thanks for sharing some information.
He implies that he knows what schizophrenia actually is, and therefore he brings certainty into the equation. To reach a certainty of something, one must fully encompass it. In doing this, no stone is left unturned, thus no questions are left unanswered.
Due to the topic being that of an improper functioning of the mind, one must first know of the proper functioning of the mind, and do so such that one can be related to the other. Thus to achieve certainty, one must first know what consciousness is, thus know how it works, and how to create it. But this has not yet been accomplished !
Therefore it is to be noted that in this day and age, it is still being assumed that one can see the entirety of something by seeing only a mere portion of its entirety. Thus the very idea is still being accepted that the portion is large enough to encompass the entirety of that which it is a portion of. In turn, sheer madness of such a nature, is still considered to be a completely acceptable normal function of the "intellectual" minds of today.
Thus it is to be noted that these intellectual minds, which are partially insane and thus are detached from reality, are the very same minds who are given the position of authority to classify other people into separate groups of the sane, and the insane.
schizophrenia has been proven to make you function akin to retardation during the psychosis phase. Fortunetly it improves with treatment but the deficiets still remain and the best result is below average cognitive functioning
@@chapstic593Wrong. I read that high functioning schizophrenics exist now.
@@juliotorres9720 a high functioning schizophrenic still implies disability
He's referring to the marked distinctions in the brains of schizophrenic people compared to non-schizophrenics. There's also been a proven link between head trauma, drug use, genetics, and other factors in those who have been diagnosed as schizophrenics.
Where is the proof that anti-psychotic medications cause brain damage?
despite the stuttering, excellent!
I hate this damn disease
I dislike their ignoring of the metabolic part of the illness, food allergies of gluten and milk products, as well as nutritional imbalances and deficiencies, claiming it ton not be known to have any effect! That is outright lying; it is very well known, and older literature full of the metabolic connectiion. Passing over the toxin part that he mentions at the end too, just mentioning that the brain takes cigarettes and alcohol as toxins, as if it were not of big importance to detox heavy metals etc from illegal drug use and cigarettes. And to inform patients strongly on the bad effects of coffee and cigarettes on hindering them from getting well! But I am grateful that he mentions that at least, so I can use it as a n argument with upbacking apart from my own knowledge of coffee stimulating and arousing the adrenals for stress. He should tell of how the meds shrink their brains and taxes their Liver and is not harmless at all, and motivate patients to do natural things to get well or better. But they make money on med.
Also spiritual and soul nourishing-strengthening practises help heal, prayer and meditation, as in all other illnesses. He should tell also the importance of receiving help from close ones and not think one wants o get well alone, which the disease is too hard for.Pride must be set aside if wanting to be better, it is still an achievement .The thinking ability is too compromised, and the will-weakening of habitual abuses makesit all but impossible to manage on ones own, depression with its inertia and maybe burn'out from druggung and sleep deprivation too.
Good they say the importance of sleep for managing the illness and for recovery.He forgot to mention the dangers of sedentary life on heart and blood vessels, increasing risk of stroke, tromboses and heart attack. i do hope the light of the Father God gets in to everyone, waking them up to want to heal or get better! It is so sad how many lives are destroyed and lived on as shadows unnecessarily.
i know it can't completely be controlled but wouldn't a strong benzo help with the paranoia? i am bipolar 2 and i sometimes have panic attacks with minor psychosis but when i take my klonopin it kills it...i become rational and think, why the fuck was i trippin out so badly? i feel for these people, i couldn't imagine.
Both MRIs of brain structure and activity are different in a schizophrenic person's brain ( schizophrenia(dot)com/disease.htm#neurological ). My major criticism of your post is that there is a distinction between organs and the psyche. I feel that mental illness is rooted in a genetic predisposition that gets triggered by environmental factors (head trauma, illicit drug use, family dynamic, etc.) which results in brain abnormalities. The psyche is a product of the brain, and so I don't think
I wonder if ADD/ADHD could be considered a type of very mild schizophrenia. In the example @14:02 the background sounds are supposed hallucinations, but with ADD, often real background sounds (not hallucinations) are so present in the person's mind that he/she can't focus on one certain thing. It's like everything is loud so if one person is talking to them in the midst of that, the voice get washed out. (That's my experience).
No it’s a different thing like autism is different from scitophrenia not the same at all.
WOW third lesson of this!
A disease is something that affects tissue and nerves physically - in other words something physical has happened with the brain
Very informative
Please...I am not trying to discredit your questions. I am merely looking to gain knowledge. Previously, I have been "attacked" for even asking questions on such things...
Peace.
There's something going on with schizophrenics on a spiritual level and we'll never be able to understand it properly until we explore those avenues
Callum you’re barking up the wrong tree here.
woof
i am a paranoid schizophrenic and i love every thing about
thank you, very helpful
I really want to be cures is there a hope ?
plenty of treatments available, but as for a "cure"...don't hold your breath.
In the 1980s and 1990s Embalming fluid was mostly use as medication since then things of gotten better thankfully. That’s the way I’ve always experienced it anyway
They DO have a higher prevelence of violence than others. I know 5 with it and all but one have harmed others or engage in crime. One is sentenced for violence aswell. Theyre often on drugs too.
Why is this not taught in schools at age 16-17
This video was edited the other one was a lot shorter
Read or listen to Thomas Szasz. Or even Professor John Read. Schizophrenia symptoms happen when those around are abusive.
Today they use the cheapest NHS anti psychotic medication which causes strokes after long term use.
What do you mean with your sixth question, specfically? I also am interested in what you mean by "social respnsibilites" in your question seven.
Private (inner-personal) experience is non-sequiter in most cases of schizophrenia because of brain chemistry being unbalanced. No dispute from me on your questions, but I'd like input to understand more about schzophrenia.
Peace.
The information on the history of schizophrenia is incorrect. The term itself is a misnomer meaning "split mind" coined by Eugen Bleuler (not Manfred) at the Burgholzli Institute in Switzerland. He redefined the symptomatology described by Emil Kraepelin of the University of Heidelberg in Germany. Both Bleuler and Kraepelin were eugenists and followers of Francis Galton's racist, elitist theories of racial and class inferiority and superiority and what should be done about it (sterilization and segregation of 'undesirable' individuals, classes and races). People diagnosed with schizophrenia were the first people targeted for mass-murder by the Nazis, led by Karl Schneider also of the Heidelberg University under the Aktion T4 program.
If autism is a preoccupation with inner experience then i am autistic...
No
Loss of affect! The effect of damping down Limbic brain structures and emotional functioning with Neuroleptic meds..I wish they were more honest about this aspect..
Autism and scitophrenia is not the same how old is this?
I Just want to understand the illness!
he talks about social situations and difficulty relating to people.. no shit if I see people getting distorted like that ..I'm going to have difficulty relating to people as well
Why he say "we" a lot when he means "I." Is he schizophrenic?
I don't know we I mean I say we when meanin I a lot.
look the diagnosis could be,
hey! I dislike the fact that my father is yelling at me
while my mother laughs.
but it get turns into a charade.
There are so many versions of schizophrenia. It makes it a hard to understand the real disease because the label appears only as a symptom. You show the symptom of schizophrenia. Your brain damage is, however, unique and has a root cause. Many families lie and blame the patient, especially when PTSD progresses, and the patient shows schizophrenia. The doctors start to dramatize it. They should work on finding all the causes before doing anything else, anymore research. Some people did drugs. Some people were "dirty fighting" as another schizophrenia video shows. There are also people who have been hit in the head. For some weird reason, a lot of patients only remember a short time before their illness, and they even seem to confess its origin. I think they should use more cue cards.
this is a public service announcement brought to you by slim shady
ouch!!!!!
or the diagnosis could be
hey!
people called the cops because my music was too loud
Holy sh**t I guess I am abnormal..
sad.
excellent presentation.More drugs have come to market since 1998 which have proved to be very beneficial. multi drug combo treatment,CBT and rehab programs have helped. Nicotine has been found to be very helpful in alleviating some symptoms too .Nicotinic receptors suppressing? or augmenting D2????
Positive symptoms are induced its conditioning
The treatment for schizophrenia develops , evolves and improves. It is important to if a patient the need to return to full health always a priority, if family friends that support away from stuck.( Able to be with or in a room with other people I'd not a way to manage life. The imprisonment continues to that point where the patient is making his her devisions and not been protected from these decisions. Knowing I need to work eat clean because if the affect this will have it if I don't as above the effect that will have it not have. Feeling pain when I have the ability to say be the reason I stepped Inti pain not deliberately but say in pursuit of freedoms then I found I made a mistake. By not taking the person's autonomy to say you must now leave it the admission wards are open you can admit yourself or be dol. Sectioned deprived if your liberty the freedom is then to be in charge I feel the pain I take me out therefore a self better managubg life's challenges and issues can be looked better at from with in and values have a better cornerstone. These are just. Some if nit just medication that makes life far far better. Working safely is important to you and others . This gives y ok I estemn by how other see see you as nd your eyes see Thier expressions. . recover often surpasses just ones first episodes. That. Builds may be because n as by Carers and medical teams enjoy improving as much as any person and know a lot more. So by just been there helps .
i just feels like an unformulated thought
Been working with scizophrenic people for 3 years, and claims to be an expert? Hell..i lived with a paronoid schrenic mother all my life and im 69 now. You tell me whos the expert?
I don't know maybe nancy piccirillo
One can also get psychosis via sleep deprivation.
I am with You. All of US can get through this..
A video on schizophrenia has a voices-in-your-head narration periodically breaking through. Trolling us?
anon mouse what narrations? ;-)
I found after my first nervous breakdown, that the English side of my family, left me for dead, and the irish side were very warm, inviting me to see them, in Ireland. its probably because Frankenstein and his monster, don't loom as large in irish culture... or something like that.
Here we have a expert that offers therories built on therories.

Did anyone notice he couldn't leave his hands alone? That was very distracting.
Why are psychiatrists s hautaine

so many ifs and buts, hardly meets the standards of orthodox science to many over looked variables to make such certain claims as fact. At best this is a compilation of research of known patients.
says the guy with the froyd copy cat look. jesus. it seems to me that he believes a more wide attension and/or highter sensitivity to be some kind of mental illness that is inhereted biologically.?. most of the symptoms they give seems like high emotional inteligence and empathy . . .
