    Dude...as someone who is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia as a result of abuse this conversation helps me in ways that I can't put into words. THANK YOU SO MUCH

    I love this so much! It would be awesome to have recurring episodes to hear them share more, even if it's once or twice a year. Beautiful.

    Really interesting discussion especially about how different meds work for different people and how they need talking therapy and support as well as meds as I think there tends to be too much emphasis on the meds side.
    Would love to see a updated video of how they are all doing now.

    Same thing , my friends,same thing.Here's my story :"Yeah,I remember I was thinking too much at night ,but the main reason for my madness was stupid delusional teenage complexities plus a condition called Cervical Dystonia(basically gradual crippling of the neck).Anyway this is some important stuff and I don't think modern psychiatry and psychology is the answer.Respect to science and phsysical medicine but when it comes to that even doctors say "pretty often the best doctor is the patient himself".And that makes a lot of sence бецаусе they literally have to be able to read your minds and feelings.So I was the same delusional paranoid thinking that this is what is supposed to happen,everyone else knows something because they act and look normal,your thoughts and feelings are not even yours anymore,you are not supposed to talk about it,because the KGB,CIA or your local thugs will get your ass,bla,bla,bla,some of you would know what I'm talking about.After long struggle I finally came to the realization and conclusion that all of that is a huge BULLSHIT caused by all the stupid delusions,paranoyas,stress and complexities.Speaking of stress I also realised that little stress and nervousness means less anxiety caused by the disease.So bassically it's on neurological basis what is causing this chemical inbalance in your brain.So what to do next? Well of course I stoped smoking,drinking,don't take drugs but you should stop doing it as well(all of the mentioned damage the nervous system and are sharpening the sences,thus increasing hearing voices and so) and went to a secluded place up into the mountain and forrest,taking regular exercise and sport activities.I was getting better and better each day and in a matter of weeks I was a new reincarnated person.Please share so more people could see !!!"BTW I've never been to a doctor and only have taken ryvotryl ,xanaks and thoriadizin( I know I've butchered them) for 2-3 days each and the only effect they had was making me sleepy so I quit them.The most important thing is getting rid of the dellusions and stay strong.It could be very very hard ,but if there's a will,there's a way.
