      Interesting that this is a truth that can be universally accepted even with the absence of any immediate evidence when you’re feeling well. I’m a reformed atheist now because of this.
      However when you’re feeling particularly unwell IMO it’s so hard, again, highlighting the uselessness of having faith in some form or another for some of us.

    At 14.07 she smiled in some shy way and Dr Syl comented that her reaction was not normal and it is caused by schizophrenia. I would say she smiled and gigled a bit because she was caught with the question if she has written to her family. In my observation she was shy and embarrassed to say that she did not. She just complained that they dont visit her, but then herself she havent written to her. In my opinion it is a normal reaction. Usually children reacts this way but adults as well.

      @plushygun Месяц назад

      Nervous laughter is also an incongruent emotion, albeit common, even amongst non-psychotic illnesses. In my opinion, it'd be risky to always categorize it as "normal" in a neurological sense, as it is known to be incongruent, so it can be useful to identify it -- especially if it occurs often. In schizophrenia, any incongruent emotion, including nervous laughter, can be vastly more frequent than in that of someone without it. :)

    • @plushygun
      @plushygun 12 дней назад +1

      @@barbaraedgley2634 I believe that the point that Dr. Syl was making is not that any incongruent emotion is a symptom of schizophrenia.
      Rather, consistent incongruent emotion to a larger extent, is commonly seen in schizophrenia.
      It does not make someone mentally ill to have incongruent emotions; however, it shouldn't be dismissed if seen in a mentally ill person. It's similar to: everyone gets bruises, but if someone ill (eg. with an autoimmune disease) gets a bruise, it should be carefully monitored.

Nothing I could ever really point out. I also have an internal monologue and am sound sensitive. I also have some child like mannerisms and don't even realize it till people mention it.

    I don’t know if this is up your ally at all but I would love to see you cover/react to videos about ASD or co-occurrence of ASD with other disorders as it is so common. You bring a positive non-judgmental light to psychosis and really help educate and break down harmful stereotypes. As someone with autism, it would be great to see that done for us as well! There are a ton of autistic RUclipsrs who talk about their experience, but I would love to hear the science side of things as I know our brains are different and we experience mental illness at a higher rate.
    For instance, we are much more prone to PTSD. This is something I have struggled with (and am, but I’m being treated now), even to the point of hallucinations. I had no idea PTSD could even cause that! This is extra jarring for an autistic person as our reality is usually so rooted in logic. I would love to learn more about it! (I’m doing much better by the way- years of therapy and anxiety medication goes a long way for PTSD haha.)

But sometimes as a health professional I feel like I’m intruding on this woman’s life…. Because back then there wasn’t the level of patient advocacy and informed consent there is today. I often wonder about the person, what happened to them… were they ever discharged? She may be someone’s mum or sister, daughter. I wonder what family feel….. just me…. It was an excellent video.

    But in hospitals there's too many people and noise, my intimacy feels compromised and the staff keeps poping into my room and I'm forced to have the sunlight in my room and while they don't mind that I live at night I have to be awake during the day in order to take my medication because they won't even trust me with my medication 😫 (they also threw away my loperamide last time I went)

    I have a friend whose daughter developed schizophrenia at age 19. Her initial symptoms were romantic delusions related to Korean K-pop singers. She was self aware about the delusions at first. But her illness has progressed to the simple type as shown in this video. Interestingly she occupies her time scanning through TikTok and instagram reels for hours at a time. This seems to keep her happy. She is on anti-psychotic medication and has been hospitalized several times.

    My apologies I did not want to make anyone uncomfortable. Since this is a Mental illness reaction channel I shared my previous msg. I only shared because there is a lack of support groups in my area or nearby, where we can get educated about the illness so we can know what to expect as newly diagnosed individuals and know what to avoid so we don't find ourselves in problems like the ones I talked about in the previous message. And immediately seek help when we encounter these episodes because unfortunately as Dr Syl said even after taking treatment these episodes can still continue. So the more we talk about this the better for us.
    What I wrote was my experience, my reality with the illness and desire to hear about other people's experiences so I can get educated. Thank you.

    My biological father had schizophrenia which because of the genetic aspect made me very interested. The one thing I have always been curious about is the nature of the voices themselves. Are the voices akin to a malfunction of the natural interior monologue in some cases? Fortunately at least in regards to symptom management I'm on the Autism spectrum and suffer from severe recurrent depression which requires far less unpleasant medication to treat. Even though I'm at an age where the chance of an onset of schizophrenia is nearly impossible I never lost the interest.

  • @AlisolteAllGrownUp
    @AlisolteAllGrownUp 8 месяцев назад +2

    Watching your videos and seeing how these internal experiences are being interpreted are making me realize why I was so frustrated during my hospitalization.
    The physical queues of the patient are being identified via titles/words that are symbolic to the perspective of the OBJECTIVE viewer.
    In my experience, schizophrenia is a narrative/language issue and therefore more conceptual and tied into the greater schemas of conscious and unconscious experience.
    We break away from the neural pathways that have been prescribed to us via a broken society and run haphazardly through what is left.
    Sometimes our paths cross with other accepted narratives, ones that help us describe the meaning of our experience.
    Usually we are frightened and alienated from society long before.
    Which is why we become paranoid, because we know we have no ultimate autonomy or safety. There are greater powers at play.
    In a hierarchy, in a world of social consensus, there are always others that can hurt us. Always.
    And which is also why we can find humor where others can not. The entire experience is a joke and we know it. Plus, laughter alleviates the weight of stress.
    Anyway, the described narrative is taken seriously via both the delusional and those caretaking, because it is the only way to meet in the middle and make sense of those feelings/experiences.
    What is really happening is there are no better words/symbols to convey the meaning of the experience, and so the overarching narratives win out.
    Which leads, in my experience, to the meaning or symbol behind my words not being understood.
    Then becoming so frustrated that these people (MDs, RNs) are in such a different world that you want to verbally lash out but knowing it is unkind, you stay silent.

    You are very empathetic, I enjoy that about your videos. I think however there is a danger in empathising too much with past practitioners- yes they may have been ‘good’ for their times, however they are still placed within the social contexts of their time. I wouldn’t say ‘obviously this is a nice one’ regarding the asylum she’s in- we don’t know that from the video. For starters over 70% of women in psychiatric hospitals experience sexual assault- that we know of, and while I don’t know the statistics over time (it hasn’t been recorded) it is unlikely given women’s history generally that things were better in the past. It is unlikely she hasn’t received any trauma from her hospitalisation.
    In terms of NDIS- that system is notorious for not accepting mental health clients. There are specialised organisations who fight for their rights to be accepted- and yet most are denied. ‘Wanting’ to be in full time care is fraught with issues of abuse, particularly for women and especially as care is in a unit with men in hospitals (and this is aside from the issues of some mental health professionals perpetuating abuse). As a mental health professional myself (in Melbourne) it would be interesting to have a cross professional discussion about what we see day to day (and year by year!). Love your channel, thank you.

    For instance, there's a 90 year old woman who suddenly stopped hearing anything and lost a sense of time. But when she's happy and relaxed, she suddenly hears and then hearing disappears again. This old woman also has a mania that some individuals want to steal from her, so she's hidden the money and now can't find it. One day she agrees to take medication and go visit a doctor, another day she refuses any help and throws away the drugs. She also refuses to move to her daughter's place.

    It's already a very uncommon mental illness so to even find these pts to continue to come back for clinical trials & over the course of years, based off of their family situation.. yea you go ahead & tell me if this is an easy task..

    I take a seat near to her, and a ripple of laughter goes around the room because people have seen this before...
    After 10 minutes of sitting in silence I turn to the new arrival and ask "Are you bored ?". The second tick by, and gradually the new arrival realises that somebody has spoken to her, remembers what I said, and processes it.
    "No". Then in puzzlement "Why?"
    "Oh nothing. It's just that if you were bored I would have invited you to run away with me. But since you are not bored...". And then I resumed my silence.

    I am in great trouble because of this illness and its episodes. I only wish that something quickly be done for those who are having symptoms of mental illness but are not aware they have the condition to quickly receive help. I was unfortunate and never receive education about this illness or help with my condition until i was 30 years old.(even though i had symptoms from age 3years). So i wish there could be more awareness campaigns about this illness.
    I have severe command hallucinations. I have these episodes 24/7, and there is no rest. I thought immediately when i was diagnosed i was going to live in a hospital 24/7 which would make sense although it would'nt have been nice but had that happened it would have spared me alot of problems i am in because of these command hallucinations.
    Yes treatment helps but still the episode's are always there nonetheless. Most of the times it becomes so unbearable that it becomes impossible to concentrate or be present in the real world let alone partake in things/tasks going on around because i am heavily tolerating & enduring severe battering, beatings and torture from my tomentors and the creator and his angels. This was my major problem in school, had i been told i was schitzophrenic at a young age i would have quit like I once had because I couldn't concentrate and never understood what was wrong with me because i was enduring battering & beatings in these episodes.
    My tormentors in these episodes are my immediate family my mother, her daughter, her two sons , her family, my father's family and worse my child's father with the God of Israel they call him when they address him. With their deception command hallucinations it ensures them that people riot against me and harm me so they can then loot/plunder my life & then enslave me like how their God with his people always come to people's lands and strip them of their wealth, land, possessions, especially if its a country rich with gold and diamonds(mineral resources.). They set their foot there are then strip the people of their land & possession and then enslave them oppressing them. When I asked them why they are doing this they said it is God answering their bargain in trade for them to serve him. Like a dowry for them to be his servants/people. This creator told me he is and his servants are going to drag many more people from their homes to pay the price for his people deception as they advance and loot people's lives. They said they, did with Canaan, they did with African countries including South Africa whereby their God & his people stole land & wealth(natural resources) from black African community and then enslaved & oppressed them. They said their God is continuing in his quest by granting his people whatever land/people's wealth or possesion they bargain with their God. And their God grants them those things because he wants them to serve them by standing on the pulpit and strip peoples lives who congregate with them who have signs of mental illness and those who don't congregate with them.
    People are in for a shocker. The Christian community are the ones responsible for the episodes the mentally ill face. They are the cause rather. They are not the gospel they preach:
    1. love- but they batter & torment me 24/7 inflicting serious physical pain via these psychotic/episodes
    2. do not lie - they constantly tell me lies via their command hallucinations telling me to say or do A, B & C to people or organisations. They are SERIEL DECEIVERS.
    3. They say do not covet - but my mother's daughter is. There is nothing she has not stolen from My career choice, she got jealous I wanted to study medicine and forsook her physio therapy first choice option. Has stolen my business plans, has stolen my baby daddy/ex fiencee, child, the list goes on. If they did not covet Esau would still be having his birth right, Canaan would still have his land.
    [Important thing to note i am not raising warefare i am merely informing those behing me since i have reached this stage of the illness that this is what is ahead of their journey with schitzophrenia & what is likely to be happening to them now so they make better choices when they encounter these episodes because there was no one there for me to guide& advice me about this illness/its episodes I feel I must let others know. So i am not picking fights lest anyone is thinking that. Schitzophrenia itself is a fight itself I am dealing with daily as i endure its blows after blows that i am eternally exhausted & drained. I am sharing my reality/my experience hoping it will help somebody out there with the same mental health condition as me.]. So this is not about pointing fingers but warning the people who are victims of this illness to avoid doing this and that for their benefit e.g. going to a christian assembly is the worst mistake they will ever make or their will reach level 1000% percent of the severity in their illness in no time just by attending. I warn people with schitzophrenic symptoms to stay away kindly, I am speaking from experience. They will bewitched you while standing on the pulpit like they gid me and will then experience severe command hallucinations and will did up a victim of those.
    4. do not kill - they killed the cannanites.
    5. do as you would love other to do unto you - they strip people of their land & enslave people. Countries affected by this are trying to recover from their blows even today and some have not.
    I guess the question that should be asked is do all humans have equal rights? If this question can be answered to a Mentally health affected individual/s that would be nice or those who have encountered the evil of those who strip people of their land.
    My tormentors my mother, her three children and her family and my child's father say they are doing this so they can be pastors enjoying the luxury of my life/land and what it offered.
    Yet all five of them they behave as if they are righteous but their actions speak against them, they all even criminally purchased drivers lincence all five of them. What righteous message can ever come out of them. I caught my sister/mother's daughter praying for me to get raped by the public and her siblings to even impregnant me. She "covets" my ex fiencee/child's father.
    So it was not enough that her mother organized a daily molester & rapist for me from age 1-5 years.
    I feel mentally affected individuals should live in their own towns free from mentally stable people. If this could be done for our community there would be lesser problems. Besides birds of the same feathers flock together, they understand each other better no one will be abusing who or discrimination who because we all have the same illness.
    My family members treat me like a dog and call me names especially my sister who is studying to be a doctor she is constantly making fun of mentally ill people saying crazy people ought to live in East London where all crazy people live.

    Hi Dr Syl, I have a friend who has served in the military. He is a well- adjusted adult who has now retired. Since the time that I met him, he has had this belief that he is under constant surveillance. He sometimes gets very angry at random strangers thinking they are spying on him. He is otherwise a very nice and loving person. But he hasn't been married and doesn't plan to. What do you think his issue could be?

      It sounds like possibly some form of PTSD, although I'm not a dr and only a thorough examination and proper assessment can diagnose that. Unfortunately it would have to be up to him and if he's having these delusions then getting him to see a doctor might be difficult.

    I’ve just been diagnosed with schizophrenia but I’ve always been aware that my delusions are just delusions and can always reason with them, i actually thought it was just anxiety but now know what it actually is, I don’t have auditory hallucinations though I get psychosis when very stressed but I’m struggling to come to terms with the diagnoses and now that I have a name to it I feel I’m able to reason with the delusions even more and have been able to push them away easier. I’m worried it’s going to get worse as I get older and start hearing voices, my psychiatrist started me on a antipsychotic but I’m getting terrible side effects and have now stopped them. If I’m not experiencing symptoms daily. I’m on the spectrum I know that but I feel I may have been miss diagnosed

    I am Schitzophrenic female aged 34. And started being psychotic when I was aged 3 years and it became worse after visiting a Christian assembly one time, I saw the pastor of that church psychotically bewitched me with her faces, multiple snakes and voodoo. After that day I became seriously ill and they would torture me psychotically demanding me to do this and that. Creating trouble for me. Where am I now?
    I am in a deep whole and there are no support groups in my area or nearby or any form of help. No one is willing to help me because I am exhausted of these people. The behaviour of my tormentors psychotically and physically is no different to make me think I am seeing my own things.

    You have to realize Doc, as much as I admire your through review and insight into these conditions there has been NO meaningful treatment for this population of people in psychiatry in terms of restoration of their life, and that is a fact. Be honest that the medicines you prescribe can control acute psychotic symptoms SOMETIMES and that is really about it. Psychiatry desperately NEEDS to move the needle and they haven’t. Low carb or Ketogenic diets are looking very promising as these disorders are being seen as metabolic mitochondrial based dysfunction disorders of the brain.

It started as a mania, but i never had minus phase. I was allways rocking forth back withe daydreaming and euphoria and thincing abstract cosmoslike ideas. My organisation was always poor, never could even take medicine, only before sleep. Bit last year i burn out. Now my negative simptoms are visible. I have 33 and i'm chained to bed for years. Even is uncofortable to cut nails. I'm hypersensitive and disturbed by presence of people that's why cannot endure hospitalisation. I'm ultra sensitive. My room is in chaos and i cannot force myself to do anything. I want euthanasia. Please, tell me what to expect? I hope to die earlier becouse i'm imosible organisme. Everything aches me.
