My mom was diagnosed schizo effective and had no support system. She had all signs of dementia but doctors said it was due to medications, not dementia. She died of mixed drug interaction. That whole experience gives me great fear of doctors and medications
@@carolkoppi53all she needs is understanding. Good on you for not forcing or scaring her into taking medications which have too many highly problematic side effects.
@@carolkoppi53 Remember to search for other forms of treatment: BioGeometry equipment, right nostril breathing (plug left nostril), heart and throat chakra work. Try those three for real, for a good time, and you'll see improvement I bet!
My husband was diagnosed with schizophrenia when he was in his teens. He took the meds for about 10 years and then decided he'd had enough of feeling crappy on those meds. He's never needed medication since and hasn't had any unmanageable symptoms since. The difficult part is when you are psychotic you can be a danger to yourself or others if you suffer paranoid delusions. Medication is the only thing we have to manage that. I hope ongoing research can help find the best way to treat these people because it is so hard for them.
I agree, if people can manage without anti psychotics then brilliant. I had a psychotic episode 5 years ago. I was prescribed anti depressants and anti psychotics. I still take the anti depressant now as it helps my sleep, anxiety and depression. But I couldn't tolerate the anti psychotic at all so I stopped it. I have tried a few more since but the all have horrible side effects. I'm doing fine on anti depressants, I've even just been diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed stimulant medication. I still hear a 'voice' on a daily basis, but it doesn't affect my life in a negative way.
Or maybe those people that get better aren't actually schizophrenic to begin with. I know a few people that were labeled as "schizophrenic" & their psychiatrist said they will always be ill & need to take their medications for life. These people eventually recuperated & stopped taking antipsychotic & never had another psychotic episode again! There is such a thing as a brief psychotic episode which is NOT schizophrenia but doctors are too quick to label people & give them brain damaging medication that will surely put a stop to any chance of a recovery!
Schizophrenia is a label, the drugs to treat people so labeled are neurotoxins that will create symptoms in people thought to be the illness. People who recover without drugs are the lucky individuals who discarded or never took them. Psychiatry wants to label and drug people.
there are no tests to prove you have schizophrenia, they do not even know for certain if schizophrenia is a condition, there is no definite proof it exists. everthing is based on your behavior and symptoms, it is easy to get it wrong and you end up on medication that makes everything worse in the long term. They will always defend there diagnosis and theruputic does of medicaion, even if they do not work, They will blame your condition it is the get out of jail free card.
I am a recovered schizophrenic who was diagnosed back in 1990/1991 and haven’t been on any meds since 1992/1993. I spent 4 weeks in a psych ward, underwent ECT, and had the whole gamut of very strong intrusive negative thoughts and voices and an intense visual hallucination. I truly believe it is a shamanic/spiritual experience in which some surpass and others do not. The meds only cover up the symptoms for the short term and do nothing to cure the patient for the long term. There are much better methods out there for the long-term cure that don’t destroy the brain.
@@lindivliet8280 Search for Jerry Marzinsky...he recommends the MACE energy method or the "That's A Lie Program" He's a retired licensed psychotherapist with over 40 years of experience working with schizophrenic patients. It takes mental work but schizophrenia can be cured.
I believe wholeheartedly, as a schizophrenic myself, that encouraging reading fiction books, listening to stories and watching good movies that all follow a story structure can help control or direct delusions.
as someone who also struggles with delusions, i highly disagree. there is almost no association between those two things. the only thing that could change would be the specific content of the delusions, but it would not actually help or improve the delusions in any significant or positive way.
@@the-great-evan as someone who also struggles with delusions, you might be wrong. I was reading a fiction book and I was getting all sorts of internal experiences. While they still weren't nice, they were controlled and directed. I even had one where I was on a dragon. The book was called fourth wing

Hi, my mom got diagnosed and she was on olanzapine which led to massive weight gain. She developed this disease at the end of menopause, so estrogen was very much a factor. We gradually lowered her dose to 0.5mg olanzapine and started ayurveda meds in parallel (we are from India). She's so much better than before and now take olanz only on per need basis.
@@itsanchalverma she has symptoms since 2021 end. But right now she is refusing to take ayurveda so we have put her on risperidone. But ayurveda has real cure please try it
potentially, i think this is definitely a real possibility. I've also seem a small % of people 'cured' by antipsychotics, so it's one of those things that might be on an individual basis. But the study here suggests that for most people the may do more harm than good in the long run

I think if you are diagnosed correctly and actually have it and acknowledge you have it, you can get better. But taking medication for longer than 6 months doesn’t feel right and get side effects
They cannot prove for certain that a patient has schizophrenia, there are no tests to prove for certain, many patients are wrongly diagnosed. Once you are diagnosed you are in the system. The treatment is drugs, drugs and more drugs. If they are not effective and cause problems they will blame your illness. The diagnosis and the drugs will be defended that is their main priority, not the patient. If you are on the wrong medication it can cause big problems, it can make some of your symptoms more active and cause many problems. Many patients lives are ruined with the medication.
I am not suprised that some nurses would be the first to start to question it. I once was in a psychatry where I was considered the patient with the "slight symptoms". But I had to witness the torture of a young woman with neuroleptics doing severe damage and pain to her back and especially neck (artificialy induced torticolosis). She was almost comstantly in pain. Now your natural instinct is that this is very evil and that you should stop the people from doing this. But you know if you try to interfere, they will count this as a sign of you beeing "mad". And shift the violence to you. Similarily, if a nurse becomes to critical her or she will propably loose the job. So we just watch, like we would watch a dangerous shool bully. But the mental price for this is high, you never get rid of the guilt.
I noticed that too, time really does heal any illness! My own schizophrenia has improved a lot of over the years, I have developed coping strategies for the positive symptoms and the negative symptoms are improving rapidly over the years too.
@schizoid2-zm5vc I think he's faking his names shaman, and he's saying he's taking schizophrenia medicine... schizophrenia and shamanism is the same thing.
?? If your names shaman, why are you saying your schizophrenic? Those are the same thing according to the Joseph Campbell's foundation. Christians are known for diagnosising non-Christians schizophrenic. Hey your a shaman and a schizophrenic wow it's like your the hero with a thousand faces, a thousand titles
@@BenW1991NEI realized recently am going through a kundalini awakening gone wrong. I don't actually hear or see things, just some really bad paranoia which antipsychotics help with. My true diagnosis is called kundalini syndrome.

(Opinion:) Hello: Thank you for producing this video! I'm a 63 year-old Canadian. Moreover, within the last 25 years and evidently because of a diagnosis of Paranoid Schizophrenia, I took Risperidone for about a 14-year period (at a dose of 4 g per day) and, without my doctor's approval, tried tapering off safely once I started studying the side-effects of Risperidone. I then started studying the side-effects of any medication I was prescribed whatsoever, something I'd recommend to everyone. My Pharmacist wouldn't sell me tapered amounts, and indicated s/he could only give me what was in a doctor's prescription. In addition, I continue to believe that I'd been seeing counsellors, psychiatrists, etc., for so many years because of the effects of having been maltreated by family members when I was growing up. By extension, I've tried more than once to get the RCMP to lay (historical) charges against family members still living, but to no avail. (I just want the RCMP to do a telephone-interview with these family members about the long-term effects of child abuse, and not put anyone in jail. My family isn't a risk to the community!) Folks: If "Adverse Experiences in Childhood" applies to you, then may I suggest that, as soon as you get an assault, or something that meets the definition of mistreatment (of a child,) from a family member, then run, don't walk, to the nearest police station and try to leave a statement in order to press charges. (Go with an advocate, if that helps strengthen your aspect.) Getting criminal charges laid is the correct way to deal with incidents of domestic violence. (If only I'd known this earlier!) But perhaps doctors, seeing people for the first time who are in crisis, could start trying to improve the realities of these people, by first trying to determine if what they've got in front of them in the Emergency Room originated from a criminal matter? (Finally: I'm not a doctor, and whether or not there's an ability these days to obtain medical data hinting at proof of the existence of a mental-illness in a patient is a topic I don't want to delve into during this Comment.) I hope this "food for thought" can help somebody! ♥-Miss Renee K. Taylor, BA (French;) Activist/Whistleblower; Kamloops, BC, Canada/T'kemlups Te Secwepemc Unceded Territory, BC, Kanata (Apr. 26/24.)
Schizophrenia also gets less worse as you age because of how your brain grows, diagnosed patients tend to have decreased positive symptoms and increased negative symptoms as they get older, which means these people at such old ages would be harder to notice as schizophrenic or fully psychotic or need less positive symptom medicine because of natural positive symptom loss
@@brocksprogramming It can be normal to feel a loss of enjoyment if you're in a high stress environment, but if you haven't already I always suggest that if anyone struggles with anything mentally related, to seek a professional, not because they could have something wrong with them, but because mental problems are a lot harder to talk about than physical problems, because we don't always know they're there, and sometimes we just don't want to accept info from anyone about how we think besides a professional, because train of thought is a sensitive topic. Sorry I kind of went off topic, but I'm glad you're able to feel soothed, that really warms my heart.
My sister shows all of the signs of Paranoid Schizophrenia. I have very tactfully tried to encourage her to see her physician but she refuses. She is 69 yrs old and getting worse every day. She has no children and separated from her husband. She sees men in trucks outside her home everyday watching her. Then follow her. Hears footsteps outside her home. This and other bizarre behaviors have been going on for decades. 2 other siblings have distanced from her. I know she will eventually become my responsibility. I don't know what to do now to help her.
I came off strong meds in the 1980s because they were disabling me. I stopped abruptly at first and had 4 hospitalizations in 5 months and a suicide attempt. But I was eventually able to cope with a careful taper and effective stress management skills.
I did some research about my schizophrenia. And I found out about bread madness, schizophrenia induced by eating gluten. People get better if they eat gluten free. And i am allergic to mugwort and sunflower oil. Some people believe schizophrenia maybe linked to allergy because it's also seasonal illness
My sister has had schizophrenia most of her adult life & spent time in state hospitals over 3 decades. Upon release she stopped taking her medicine and would fall back into catatonia, hallucinations and deep catharsis. After my parents passed away she was left to her own vices with little or no support. If it wasn't for me she would be living on the street, the damage has been done & it's like cleaning up after a 61 year old child.
Patients become chemically dependent on the drugs when taken long-term. They're not supposed to be abruptly stopped. If your sister had been gradually weaned from the drugs with professional support, she might have recovered, or at least improved. Many patients have. There was a Vermont Study where 1/2 to 2/3 of patients with schizophrenia recovered or greatly improved and this was when they weaned themselves off the drugs. I can't post the link to the article, but here is an excerpt: "The Vermont longitudinal study of persons with severe mental illness, II: Long-term outcome of subjects who retrospectively met DSM-III criteria for schizophrenia C M Harding, G W Brooks, T Ashikaga, J S Strauss, A Breier The authors present the findings from a long-term follow-up study of 118 patients from Vermont State Hospital who, when rediagnosed retrospectively, met DSM-III criteria for schizophrenia at their index hospitalization in the mid-1950s. The patients were studied with structured, reliable, multivariate instrument batteries by raters who were blind to information in their records. The rediagnostic process is described, and results of the follow-up are presented. Outcome varied widely, but one-half to two-thirds of the sample had achieved considerable improvement or recovered, in contrast to statements in DSM-III that predict a poor outcome for schizophrenic patients."
Would just like to add that even with careful withdrawal, many patients say they got worse before they got better. It's a part of the process. The drugs are somewhat challenging to withdraw from.
This! This. And we benefit so much from videos like this where Allies especially ppl who have worked in the field speak not only about this - but about their own emotional process Changing their minds
This kind of post can be very dangerous for those who truly have schizophrenia. I do believe a healthy diet is very important for those who suffer with this illness. But I have experienced first hand with my husband and his brother who have schizophrenia and decided to go no medication/all natural. Both of them have had their disease progress to where they've just about destroyed their lives and no neither of them abuse alcohol or drugs. But being off medication for months/years has proved to be very bad. They can feel good for awhile but eventually the symptoms return. I feel for anyone who has this struggle ❤
I'm so sorry for what you're going through. Many people who stopped taking anti psychotics say they got worse before they got better. It's part of the process when your brain becomes chemically dependent on the drugs. And it's safer to do it gradually, weaning yourself off the drugs, preferably with professional help. Hope things improve for you and your family.
@@cheylou1 The diagnosis of schizophrenia is just an opinion, there are no true scientific tests to prove/disprove. no virus , no bacteria, no blood test etcetera
I give you a little bit of background, deficites in vit b1 can cause korsakoff-wernicke-syndrome, this can look like psychosis, as well as deficites in vit b12, which is needed to break down homocysteine in the blood, which causes inflammation. Therefore, diet can have a huge influence. Another point what can be looked at for the physical causes is for example atlas bone dislocation, so the blood circulation is impaired, which can also lead to brain damage. Those vit b deficites may also cause post partum depression and psychosis (next to the sleep deprivation). If nitrous oxide is used to support the birth, the b12 depot can be depleted, which causes a massive amount of brain damage. There are reports that women have even died because of this. The theory of giving the patients better diets is actually very valid and scientifically supported. (Big pharma doesn't like that, needless to say.)
There are a lot of "Schizophrenias" and most of them can be at least partly be contributed to other conditions like those vitamin B deficiencies you mentioned or autoimmune reactions to certain infectious agents (toxoplasma gondii, toxocaria canis, bartonella henselae, EBV, HERV-W and so on) or a certain type of iron-overload called H63D-syndrome and many other conditions. Most of these conditions are highly genetic in origin (depend on your genes). They also depend on your diet, infections and your gut microbiome.
This is very encouraging. More research separate from the pharmaceutical industry is needed. Unfortunately drug companies have a vested interest in people being dependent on drugs
We had psychosis patients in the ER and instead of bombarding them with Haldol, we tested them for methamphetamine and let them clear up and go home. Most facilities envelop them and flood their systems immediately and never let them go. It’s a 72 hour hold that never ends. also some people are literally psychotic from a major stressful event causing extreme sleep loss of a period of days and adrenaline due to panic and trauma. Again for letting them with AntiPsychotics destroys The ability to assess if it would’ve self resolved because the damage is being done while we’re watching for change in the condition.
"For half a century, the creation of millions of Parkinsonian patients may have been misinterpreted as a 'cure' for schizophrenia. Such a wholesale re-interpretation of neuroleptic therapy represents an unprecedented disaster for the self-image and public reputation of both psychiatry and the whole medical profession. Nonetheless, except as a last resort, neuroleptics should swiftly be replaced by gentler and safer sedatives."
If you get diagnosed with a disorder like schizophrenia it’s worth it to try getting a full blood panel done to look for a build up of toxins in the body. some otherwise healthy substances can reach toxic levels as well and can throw off the brain’s natural chemical balance. I think the worst problem with psychiatry is they separate mental health from physical health. How can you diagnose and treat a mental health condition without ever looking at the brain like a neurologist would? Another thing about these medications used to treat schizophrenia is they build up in your body and stay there and the longer you’re on them the more toxic the build up of the medication becomes. There are actual medical emergency situations that are caused by this exact build up of the psych medications in the body. The medications can literally kill people. My brother was diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic at age 16 and he passed away at age 24, a month before his 25th birthday. His toxicology report from the coroner found a toxic level of his antipsychotic medication in his body. The worst part was he was on the injection. a very well controlled delivery of the medication.
I don't believe I'm schitznophrenic but my dr says i am. How would I go about getting a real or correct diagnosis. My dr also said i have lifelong depression and would be on med forever. My depression has gone after i took myself off effexor cold turkey.
There's no easy answer, I think a lot of it depends on your willpower, which can be improved. I'd like to tell you its possible to completely recover but I don't know what that would look like for you. I wish you luck, and I want to remind you that many doctors told their patients they'd never walk again and were proven wrong.
Very very brave. I had suicidal depression and a phobia in my 20s. I have a natural bias against medication and my psychologist and I just worked around it. It took 8 years for me to finally recover. I know how terrible and debilitating mental health problems can be and just how much courage it takes to do what you did. Keep going, you are strong! You have already won! God be with you! 🙏✨
a year ago the psychologist said I would never recover from cptsd. I refused to accept it and yes, if ur waiting for a therapist, I'll be there forever. A year later I'm 100% recovered. I believe God lead me on the right path to find my way out. I'm grateful every day. People must know it's possible. Believing Drs is the problem
@@DawnZimmermann You are not the only person Ive heard this from. It makes total sense too. If you believe you cannot heal you never will. Believing you can is the first step.
A ketogenic diet actuelly helped me deeply to recover from long time medication with neuroleptica and a beginning dementia. There is a cultural belief, a kind of discrimination between the mind and the body. Let's give the brain what it actually needs as a "living organ amongst other organs like the liver". Our brains need fat, not carbs. Let's give into this revolution.
I've tried to benefit from counseling all my life and became disillusioned with psychiatry. I've always maintained that I do not hear voices that I can't identify as my own or my imagination. Recently, a doctor who must have barely reviewed notes sent by my therapist tried prescribing a long acting antipsychotic injection to "help with the voices". I perked up and asked him "who ever said anything about voices?" I just wanted to talk to a professional about a man's research on schizophrenia (Dr. Iain McGilchrist) and I was almost sedated into oblivion for an illness I'm pretty sure I don't suffer from. Even if some type of schizophrenia would be a viable diagnosis for me, I'll never know because I can't effectively communicate with professionals, and I'm too afraid to be trapped a ward again despite never being violent. I don't know how well I'll fair out without support but I feel as though I narrowly avoided a dark path merely by stepping off a conveyor belt.
I have a similar diagnosis and this is a really comforting message. Acknowledging of course the seriousness of schizophrenia and how meds are a major useful aspect of treatment, i have myself found a less medication focused approach is more preferable. Its controversial for people in my life and even my doctor, with these meds being kind of a requirement in many perspectives, understandably. But i had actually been in a place where i was serious about taking meds as needed, if at all, and being responsible about it. I couldn't find support in my support group about the subject, but luckily it really seems to be a benefit more than not to avoid meds. So thanks for this information as even though it's still being researched, this is at least letting me know that there is some logic to the approach.
Going of my abilify caused me to have rebound psychosis that has been going on and off for 2 months. I only had psychosis for a few days, and started abilify 5 days after it stopped. Should not have ever started abilify.
I was diagnosed with Schizo Affective Disorder around 2018, it never made me feel hurt or struggling but when I got my first injection of Invega Susstena it felt like it was cutting neutral pathways, as soon as it was dark I was immediately sleepy and slept the whole night, waking up was mentally painful, dreams confusing, I would want to go pee but take like 2 minutes to trigger the function, my memories felt like 144p and devoid of emotion, my imagination would either be too loud or disturbingly blank, reading and playing games like cards and solitaire was hard and much more,, but its been almost 5 years since I last took the shot and things got way better...in my opinion a schizophrenic is better of having the knowledge of the symptoms,learning to have a better inner monologue,treating daily task like checklist and doing sanity showers cz a Schizophrenic mind naturally worries about alot of things regularly so a sanity shower is like clearing RAM of a computer.
The initial psychiatrist that I spoke to diagnosed me with major depressive disorder and said it did not look like I had schizophrenia. The psychiatrist above him, whom I did not speak to, diagnosed me with schizophrenia. He's the same guy who diagnosed my friend with the same disorder 10 years ago, when In reality he was suffering from lsd and dmt induced psychosis. He is fine now but he probably changed a bit as a result of 5 years of injections of abilify and invega.
Marianne Lynch is a christian blogger, who once was diagnosed with schizo and she said that one day God told her not to listen to the voices and she obeyed God and since then, never heard voices again. Debra Holland has another testimony like hers. Barbara O'Neil used to be a Psych nurse but left her career because she didn't like what she was seeing but she said that now there are some very few Psychiatries who recommend many hours of exercise or running a day, since working out gives that euphoria. Based on my studies of the Bible schizo is strongly related to the spiritual realm.
The symptoms of schizophrenia and other severe psychological orders are precisely what need to be leaned into to for recovery. Meds can provide support to keep people functioning, but the specifics of the delusions and hallucinations offer a wealth of information for the traumatic aspects of these conditions. It’s a give and take. Psychiatry makes the mistake over and over again of looking for pharmaceuticals that will cure all ills.
Thank you so much for doing these truth videos! I am a victim of forced erroneous drugging. The anti psychotics are killing me, damaging my health, mind, laziness, sleep, anxiety, eyesight is poor now, & I have become very stupid. Even for people who weren't misdiagnosed, I am still 100% against it for them also. Thanks for doing these. God bless.. xx
I'm unsure about this. Just because they weren't taking medication doesn't mean they got better and didn't need it anymore. I know and love people with schizophrenia who won't take medication because they believe their delusions are 100% real and nothing is wrong with them. Their quality of life is really sad because of this and it's heartbreaking. Id like to hope serious mental illness like this would just go away on its own, but i do know if untreated for long enough you can be beyond the help of medications.
Since you’re a psych nurse, can you tell me why people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder automatically get medication‘s when they’ve had a psychotic break? Is it so they get stabilized faster and can get out of the hospital?
I think there's many reasons. I think sometimes people just want an instant fix--it's part of the culture we live in. I also think there's an expectation to 'do something' and so that's what many medical professionals do. Lastly, sometimes psychosis can be very scary for a lot of people (including the family members of the diagnosed) and they just want to feel safe/some sense of normalcy again.
Please dig out dr Hoffer's research, people need to know..sometimes you need to take the risk and taper on your own when there is no support from hs or resistance even and tardive dyskinesia starts. But yes it is very tricky some gradual tapering may be necessary, however I have heard that when tardive starts you should stop immediately..it was not suggested what to do when withdrawal kicks off.. This system is so rotten 😢
@SchizoAn0n listen, I don't take meds 1 day and I start getting people walking around me and talking to me that don't exist. Stop talking out of your bottom and trying getting people killed.

Psychotic breakdowns get diagnosed as schizophrenia. Doctors been concerned about duty of care, take this option as someone dangerous and out of their mind may harm or hurt themselves or somebody else. So easier to medicate them as it may be very risky to do otherwise. I think all schizophrenia are psychotic breakdowns that have went on too long. Put it this way, during the breakdown the person is so exhausted that their hallucinations and voices are in fact the patient simultaneously in the REM sleep state and awake state. Of course we are not outside observers of our dreams but participants, and that's why it all seems so real to the person with schizophrenia. Now obviously, sedatives are making the situation way worse, the delusions increase. Even more disturbingly when the situation goes on too long, the patient cannot separate their own inadequacies from their diagnosis. For example, a lazy person with schizophrenia would not understand that the voice he is hearing telling him not to do the dishes is in fact his own repressed laziness speaking to him. Many studies in Europe have established years ago that schizophrenia is easy to heal from. The insanity of thinking there is such a thing as a happy pill has lead to this medicated zombification of many. Now doctors, big pharma aren't entirely to blame, what is to blame is people including patients listening to the snake oil salesman to the point where they have fully given themselves over to it.
I have the diagnosis, and they forsed and still forse me to take abilify injections…… now im afraid i cant elever quit beacouse of the withdrawl symptoms
I am schizophrenic. I take one injection a month for it. This video is eye-opening. I can’t believe recovery is possible without medications!

Consider me subscribed!
Michael, are you serious? Who is this guy even, calling himself a psych nurse. There's no full recovery from schizophrenia, it's like diabetes, it's with a person for life, just the brain is malfunctioning. One needs meds, period. (I have schizophrenia.)
@@Aelurfey it's possible to fully recover from schizophrenia. For example, there are few cases of full recovery after bone marrow transplantation. Or Eleanor Longden who doesn't take any medication for 10 years but still hears voice, but we all have internal voice or internal dialog . Doctors just call it remission, but for some people this remission can be until their last days. There is no cure for schizophrenia, but there is full recovery from schizophrenia.
@Aelurfey I don't wish to discourage you, but type 2 diabetes is reversible with the right diet. I just recently found that out. There is schizophrenia in my family and all types of mental disorders and I'm finding out how bad these meds are. I hope there is an alternative to these meds, that would be great!
There were two longitudinal studies, one in Vermont and one in Maine. I talked with the lead researcher in Maine. He told me how complex the study was. Both these studies were published; Vermont 1987 and Maine 1995. Both studies found similar outcomes. I do not know why these studied are not well known. Anyone who is in college and majoring in psychiatry, psychology, social work or psychiatric nursing should be told of these studies. Here we are 30 years later and the are buried in time.

Try to go to psychiatrist. Sometimes meds help. Then try to do research. Maybe she is allergic to something. There is such thing as bread madness, schizophrenia caused by gluten, there is marijuana induced psychosis, schizophrenia caused by marijuana. So she maybe allergic to something. I am personally allergic to sunflower oil. And was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. I feel better now. I take my medication and try to eat few sunflower oil.

I almost died, I was blind and deaf, my left side was all messed up (getting better slowly)- I got amnesia, like it wasn’t just a “touch of” antipsychotics/benzos, it was an insane amount to almost death. How long have you been “sober?”
Thanks for your honesty. Meds have their place, but less is probably much better than more. And support that lifts these people from poverty (common sense if you ask me) may be even more beneficial. Psychiatrists know this is true, but many times they like to play god, and don't have the courage to not tow the line. Ultimately the patient pays the price. Shame on them......
There is people defficent is serotonin in the sense of low serotonin uptake that's depression an cortisol switched on longer that three weeks that's psychotic depressions where unwanted emphasis of a illogically based dreams could manifest, that's from low serotonin uptake, On the other hand someone with predisposition to psychosis that's illogic without cortisol from high uptake of serotonin too high for cortisol to be switched on, they actually benifit from chemical restraint hormone blocking drugs they need a psychotic antagonist, People with psychotic depression need a psychosis antagonist because cortisol switch on on is psychotic switched on an you need a healthy balence of psychotic an psychosis emotion accessible to both, it's just when one is switched on the other half of people's emotions are missing someone psychosis isn't empathetic, someone psychotic with cortisol switched on isn't empathetic, yet lower psychosis uptake or increase psychotic uptake of serotonin you level these people out, sometimes the imbalance is to high of serotonin so chemical restraint is needed, Someone psychotic can switch off cortisol with marijuana by raising serotonin that's a cortisol inhibitor
Psychotic emotion without cortisol switched on that's without the flight mechanism anger is just defeated sadness , That people wake up psychotic with flight mechanism switched on that's cortisol acting on emotions ,that in detention the flight mechanism is drug an beat into submission yet subconsciously the flight mechanism is still there is just submission an sadness with the flight mechanism consciously defeated, yet in the comfort of your own gown you allow yourself to get pissed off by yourself you write a rant ,yet smoking a 0.25g cone of marijuana over two hours like a 5 puff toke every half an hour switch that flight mechanism off after three tokes over an hour every half hour, then cortisol relapse maybe an hour an a half into that yet it's only sadness without the flights mechanism,the emotions are content enough to not get angry , yet they wake up psychotic every day with a flight mechanism related to cortisol to switch off, that a toke every half hour is just taking someone somewhere between psychotic an psychosis an that is the elastisity of clinical sanity for the deficient in serotonin,. What I don't like is someone saying psychotic emotion is psychosis emotion, Yet psychotic is angry because of cortisol psychotic or just psychotic without cortisol switched on sadness, That psychotic emotion has greater resistance to illogic than psychosis
Selective sampling of a small sample size from a very dated era of treatment. You're not suggesting this is any way valid for people now. It's absolutley a certainty that treaament for scizophrenia does reduce the long term effects of symptoms. It's very clear that medication does reduce the long term ruduction in functioning outcomes. Visa versa it's very clear that medications do posatively correlate with better outcomes. Regardless of studies or statistic these studies go against the lived experience of the majority of people who live with schizophrenia. Medication complience is one of the most difficult issues in the treatment of people with psycosis. Each untreated episode of psycosis further exasperastes the long term negative effects. Show me some meta anaylasis of modern studies with modern treatments. This sort of retoric is something you would find being put forward by people like scientologists who are anti psychiatry.
I think its veey important that doctors dont mix physical illness from mental illness Some knows and many dont Its very important to self-advocate for your self in needs
A pastor from Hardcore Christianity has testified that he is an ex-schizophrenic, thanks to Jesus. I myself have experienced freedom from bad depression, gluttony issues, and a compulsion to wander aimlessly by doing multiple deliverances in Jesus' name. The roots of my problems were spiritual, and I'm not surprised that psychiatry and psychology have so little success in actually fixing patients because they discount the spiritual.
It's quite simple, the disorder is not genetic it is epigenetic and is caused in utero by gestational zinc deficiency. Onset of the disorder occurs during periods of zinc deficiency caused by stress and some cases can be cured by zinc and manganese supplements. Check out the two sunspot theory papers in medical hypotheses.
I've come to he conclusion that schizophrenia is essentially a group of bad habits in one's mind. It's also called double mindedness. A person is essentially not able to be truly in the moment. I've allways disliked the label of schizophrenia, but for people who are hearing camanding voices or violent urges, it sort of makes sense for them to be on meds. That's the vast majority of victims though
I don't know why they don't simply ask the software programmers to help them with their homework. We already know it when we see it but yet the vast majority of effort seems to find the recycling center.
Please be aware of psychoactive drugs. They are making lives worse not matter. I spoke to my doctor about my older brother's medication (olanzipine), and just didn't care about the worsening condition my older brother got because of the same dosage he has had over 30 years. Matt
Reduced stress did wonders for me, it made me quiet lonely because i don't do many things anymore, but the reward is feeling relatively normal again. Altough i also take a small dose of olanzapin on a daily basis.
For people that only have Schizophrenia they could probably get by taking very little or even no meds at all. But I have Schizoaffective, which is Schizophrenia plus a mood disorder. When I'm off of my meds I feel really pretty frightened and like I might hurt someone or myself. That is why over the past 10 years or so I have used as prescribed. Every day. And if you want to know what is like. It is like being chased by witches and demons, the world is ending, everyone is talking about you, you've sold your soul, and just abject horror and irrational fear. ❤🎉
You know... science is not always done cleanly and honestly, I've heard from someone who actually did do their research. I've had psychosis (mild schizophrenia) for years now and I've done my own field research on what works for me and doesn't, by utilizing different treatment forms. I did at least 10 different forms of treatment on myself, and three of them are notable enough to be mentioned here. All those three forms are scientifically validated, yet I've not heard nor seen anyone use them. Biogeometry, thymus chakra work, and shadow work. There, I spilled the beans. Enjoy.
@@A_Psych_Nurse You're most welcome! Biogeometry is easy to find if you google that word or "Ibrahim Karim", its founder. As for thymus chakra, chakras have been scientifically proven to exist (and its easy to experientially prove they exist too) at around 1970s. Paul Chek has one book called "How To Eat, Move And Be Healthy!", where in chapter 5 he has "zone exercises" which are basically chakra exercises. They are supposed to be done like you'd do Tai Chi, which is very simple. There on page 111 is "McKenzie Press-Up" and on page 114 is "Thoracic Mobilization". Those two I've found to be the best for boosting your thymus chakra, especially if you train a bit and combine those two moves into a kind of one standing move.
Is there a reason that upon beginning every phrase/sentence/paragraph you change frames so quickly? These jerky motions and quick switches IS NOT good for anyone seeking information or help. This is an eye-opener alright, if you know a miniscule amount of the information you claim to know...then you 100% know this is sabotage to anyone entering or in crisis. This is exactly why someone in crisis that needs help would STOP seeking it! Wow...I am speechless. 'A Psych Nurse' would never exacerbate conditions.
What precisely does the research show? Are antipsychotics always necessary/beneficial in those w/ first episode psychosis? Does seeking help always equate to taking medication? Thank you for the comment!

My husband was diagnosed with schizophrenia when he was in his teens. He took the meds for about 10 years and then decided he'd had enough of feeling crappy on those meds. He's never needed medication since and hasn't had any unmanageable symptoms since. The difficult part is when you are psychotic you can be a danger to yourself or others if you suffer paranoid delusions. Medication is the only thing we have to manage that. I hope ongoing research can help find the best way to treat these people because it is so hard for them.
They said neuralink or likewise gadgets could potentially solve schizophrenia
well said and what amazing new for your hubby!
I agree, if people can manage without anti psychotics then brilliant.
I had a psychotic episode 5 years ago. I was prescribed anti depressants and anti psychotics. I still take the anti depressant now as it helps my sleep, anxiety and depression. But I couldn't tolerate the anti psychotic at all so I stopped it. I have tried a few more since but the all have horrible side effects.
I'm doing fine on anti depressants, I've even just been diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed stimulant medication.

Or maybe those people that get better aren't actually schizophrenic to begin with. I know a few people that were labeled as "schizophrenic" & their psychiatrist said they will always be ill & need to take their medications for life. These people eventually recuperated & stopped taking antipsychotic & never had another psychotic episode again! There is such a thing as a brief psychotic episode which is NOT schizophrenia but doctors are too quick to label people & give them brain damaging medication that will surely put a stop to any chance of a recovery!
Schizophrenia is a label, the drugs to treat people so labeled are neurotoxins that will create symptoms in people thought to be the illness. People who recover without drugs are the lucky individuals who discarded or never took them. Psychiatry wants to label and drug people.
Yes happened with me...I actually had BPD I was just diagnosed in a psychotic phase. Because maniac and stress 😢
@@jmipraimundo I'm sorry that happened to you, I hope you're doing better now!
there are no tests to prove you have schizophrenia, they do not even know for certain if schizophrenia is a condition,
there is no definite proof it exists.
everthing is based on your behavior and symptoms, it is easy to get it wrong and you end up on medication that makes everything worse in the long term. They will always defend there diagnosis and theruputic does of medicaion,
even if they do not work, They will blame your condition it is the get out of jail free card.

I am a recovered schizophrenic who was diagnosed back in 1990/1991 and haven’t been on any meds since 1992/1993. I spent 4 weeks in a psych ward, underwent ECT, and had the whole gamut of very strong intrusive negative thoughts and voices and an intense visual hallucination. I truly believe it is a shamanic/spiritual experience in which some surpass and others do not. The meds only cover up the symptoms for the short term and do nothing to cure the patient for the long term. There are much better methods out there for the long-term cure that don’t destroy the brain.

I believe wholeheartedly, as a schizophrenic myself, that encouraging reading fiction books, listening to stories and watching good movies that all follow a story structure can help control or direct delusions.
as someone who also struggles with delusions, i highly disagree. there is almost no association between those two things. the only thing that could change would be the specific content of the delusions, but it would not actually help or improve the delusions in any significant or positive way.

So “schizophrenia” may just be a phase some people go through, and medication may keep some people locked in that distorted mental space. ?
potentially, i think this is definitely a real possibility. I've also seem a small % of people 'cured' by antipsychotics, so it's one of those things that might be on an individual basis. But the study here suggests that for most people the may do more harm than good in the long run

I think if you are diagnosed correctly and actually have it and acknowledge you have it, you can get better. But taking medication for longer than 6 months doesn’t feel right and get side effects
They cannot prove for certain that a patient has schizophrenia, there are no tests to prove for certain,
many patients are wrongly diagnosed. Once you are diagnosed you are in the system. The treatment is drugs, drugs and more drugs. If they are not effective and cause problems they will blame your illness. The diagnosis and the drugs will be defended that is their main priority, not the patient. If you are on the wrong medication it can cause big problems, it can make some of your symptoms more active and cause many problems. Many patients lives are ruined with the medication.
I am not suprised that some nurses would be the first to start to question it. I once was in a psychatry where I was considered the patient with the "slight symptoms". But I had to witness the torture of a young woman with neuroleptics doing severe damage and pain to her back and especially neck (artificialy induced torticolosis). She was almost comstantly in pain. Now your natural instinct is that this is very evil and that you should stop the people from doing this. But you know if you try to interfere, they will count this as a sign of you beeing "mad". And shift the violence to you. Similarily, if a nurse becomes to critical her or she will propably loose the job. So we just watch, like we would watch a dangerous shool bully. But the mental price for this is high, you never get rid of the guilt.
I noticed that too, time really does heal any illness! My own schizophrenia has improved a lot of over the years, I have developed coping strategies for the positive symptoms and the negative symptoms are improving rapidly over the years too.
What kind of things have you seen?
@schizoid2-zm5vc I think he's faking his names shaman, and he's saying he's taking schizophrenia medicine... schizophrenia and shamanism is the same thing.

(Opinion:) Hello: Thank you for producing this video! I'm a 63 year-old Canadian. Moreover, within the last 25 years and evidently because of a diagnosis of Paranoid Schizophrenia, I took Risperidone for about a 14-year period (at a dose of 4 g per day) and, without my doctor's approval, tried tapering off safely once I started studying the side-effects of Risperidone. I then started studying the side-effects of any medication I was prescribed whatsoever, something I'd recommend to everyone. My Pharmacist wouldn't sell me tapered amounts, and indicated s/he could only give me what was in a doctor's prescription. In addition, I continue to believe that I'd been seeing counsellors, psychiatrists, etc., for so many years because of the effects of having been maltreated by family members when I was growing up. By extension, I've tried more than once to get the RCMP to lay (historical) charges against family members still living, but to no avail. (I just want the RCMP to do a telephone-interview with these family members about the long-term effects of child abuse, and not put anyone in jail. My family isn't a risk to the community!) Folks: If "Adverse Experiences in Childhood" applies to you, then may I suggest that, as soon as you get an assault, or something that meets the definition of mistreatment (of a child,) from a family member, then run, don't walk, to the nearest police station and try to leave a statement in order to press charges. (Go with an advocate, if that helps strengthen your aspect.) Getting criminal charges laid is the correct way to deal with incidents of domestic violence. (If only I'd known this earlier!) But perhaps doctors, seeing people for the first time who are in crisis, could start trying to improve the realities of these people, by first trying to determine if what they've got in front of them in the Emergency Room originated from a criminal matter? (Finally: I'm not a doctor, and whether or not there's an ability these days to obtain medical data hinting at proof of the existence of a mental-illness in a patient is a topic I don't want to delve into during this Comment.) I hope this "food for thought" can help somebody! ♥-Miss Renee K. Taylor, BA (French;) Activist/Whistleblower; Kamloops, BC, Canada/T'kemlups Te Secwepemc Unceded Territory, BC, Kanata (Apr. 26/24.)
Schizophrenia also gets less worse as you age because of how your brain grows, diagnosed patients tend to have decreased positive symptoms and increased negative symptoms as they get older, which means these people at such old ages would be harder to notice as schizophrenic or fully psychotic or need less positive symptom medicine because of natural positive symptom loss

My sister has had schizophrenia most of her adult life & spent time in state hospitals over 3 decades. Upon release she stopped taking her medicine and would fall back into catatonia, hallucinations and deep catharsis. After my parents passed away she was left to her own vices with little or no support. If it wasn't for me she would be living on the street, the damage has been done & it's like cleaning up after a 61 year old child.
Patients become chemically dependent on the drugs when taken long-term. They're not supposed to be abruptly stopped. If your sister had been gradually weaned from the drugs with professional support, she might have recovered, or at least improved. Many patients have. There was a Vermont Study where 1/2 to 2/3 of patients with schizophrenia recovered or greatly improved and this was when they weaned themselves off the drugs. I can't post the link to the article, but here is an excerpt:
"The Vermont longitudinal study of persons with severe mental illness, II: Long-term outcome of subjects who retrospectively met DSM-III criteria for schizophrenia
C M Harding, G W Brooks, T Ashikaga, J S Strauss, A Breier
The authors present the findings from a long-term follow-up study of 118 patients from Vermont State Hospital who, when rediagnosed retrospectively, met DSM-III criteria for schizophrenia at their index hospitalization in the mid-1950s. The patients were studied with structured, reliable, multivariate instrument batteries by raters who were blind to information in their records. The rediagnostic process is described, and results of the follow-up are presented. Outcome varied widely, but one-half to two-thirds of the sample had achieved considerable improvement or recovered, in contrast to statements in DSM-III that predict a poor outcome for schizophrenic patients."
Would just like to add that even with careful withdrawal, many patients say they got worse before they got better. It's a part of the process. The drugs are somewhat challenging to withdraw from.
The so-called peer movement has known this for decades, but if we say anything antimeds we get in big trouble. Been there done that.
This! This. And we benefit so much from videos like this where Allies especially ppl who have worked in the field speak not only about this - but about their own emotional process Changing their minds
not far off being a manufactured money making industry, not really interested in the mental health of the patients.
This kind of post can be very dangerous for those who truly have schizophrenia. I do believe a healthy diet is very important for those who suffer with this illness. But I have experienced first hand with my husband and his brother who have schizophrenia and decided to go no medication/all natural. Both of them have had their disease progress to where they've just about destroyed their lives and no neither of them abuse alcohol or drugs. But being off medication for months/years has proved to be very bad. They can feel good for awhile but eventually the symptoms return. I feel for anyone who has this struggle ❤
I'm so sorry for what you're going through. Many people who stopped taking anti psychotics say they got worse before they got better. It's part of the process when your brain becomes chemically dependent on the drugs. And it's safer to do it gradually, weaning yourself off the drugs, preferably with professional help. Hope things improve for you and your family.
❤❤
who truly has schizophrenia?
@@markae0no one unless they abused pot THC
@@cheylou1 The diagnosis of schizophrenia is just an opinion, there are no true scientific tests to prove/disprove. no virus , no bacteria, no blood test etcetera
I give you a little bit of background, deficites in vit b1 can cause korsakoff-wernicke-syndrome, this can look like psychosis, as well as deficites in vit b12, which is needed to break down homocysteine in the blood, which causes inflammation.
Therefore, diet can have a huge influence. Another point what can be looked at for the physical causes is for example atlas bone dislocation, so the blood circulation is impaired, which can also lead to brain damage.
Those vit b deficites may also cause post partum depression and psychosis (next to the sleep deprivation). If nitrous oxide is used to support the birth, the b12 depot can be depleted, which causes a massive amount of brain damage. There are reports that women have even died because of this.
The theory of giving the patients better diets is actually very valid and scientifically supported. (Big pharma doesn't like that, needless to say.)
There are a lot of "Schizophrenias" and most of them can be at least partly be contributed to other conditions like those vitamin B deficiencies you mentioned or autoimmune reactions to certain infectious agents (toxoplasma gondii, toxocaria canis, bartonella henselae, EBV, HERV-W and so on) or a certain type of iron-overload called H63D-syndrome and many other conditions. Most of these conditions are highly genetic in origin (depend on your genes). They also depend on your diet, infections and your gut microbiome.
Which diet should be given?
This is very encouraging. More research separate from the pharmaceutical industry is needed. Unfortunately drug companies have a vested interest in people being dependent on drugs
We had psychosis patients in the ER and instead of bombarding them with Haldol, we tested them for methamphetamine and let them clear up and go home. Most facilities envelop them and flood their systems immediately and never let them go. It’s a 72 hour hold that never ends. also some people are literally psychotic from a major stressful event causing extreme sleep loss of a period of days and adrenaline due to panic and trauma. Again for letting them with AntiPsychotics destroys The ability to assess if it would’ve self resolved because the damage is being done while we’re watching for change in the condition.
What r u stuck in stone age? Research better before you make ridiculous and creepy comments up.
Are you saying antipsychotics given in the ER are causing schizophrenia? That seems rather ludicrous.
"For half a century, the creation of millions of Parkinsonian patients may have been misinterpreted as a 'cure' for schizophrenia. Such a wholesale re-interpretation of neuroleptic therapy represents an unprecedented disaster for the self-image and public reputation of both psychiatry and the whole medical profession. Nonetheless, except as a last resort, neuroleptics should swiftly be replaced by gentler and safer sedatives."
If you get diagnosed with a disorder like schizophrenia it’s worth it to try getting a full blood panel done to look for a build up of toxins in the body. some otherwise healthy substances can reach toxic levels as well and can throw off the brain’s natural chemical balance. I think the worst problem with psychiatry is they separate mental health from physical health. How can you diagnose and treat a mental health condition without ever looking at the brain like a neurologist would? Another thing about these medications used to treat schizophrenia is they build up in your body and stay there and the longer you’re on them the more toxic the build up of the medication becomes. There are actual medical emergency situations that are caused by this exact build up of the psych medications in the body. The medications can literally kill people. My brother was diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic at age 16 and he passed away at age 24, a month before his 25th birthday. His toxicology report from the coroner found a toxic level of his antipsychotic medication in his body. The worst part was he was on the injection. a very well controlled delivery of the medication.
You are right thank you. I have seen this in person except I was told the person died of electrical malfunction in the brain we should have sued!
I don't believe I'm schitznophrenic but my dr says i am. How would I go about getting a real or correct diagnosis. My dr also said i have lifelong depression and would be on med forever. My depression has gone after i took myself off effexor cold turkey.
There's no easy answer, I think a lot of it depends on your willpower, which can be improved. I'd like to tell you its possible to completely recover but I don't know what that would look like for you. I wish you luck, and I want to remind you that many doctors told their patients they'd never walk again and were proven wrong.
Very very brave. I had suicidal depression and a phobia in my 20s. I have a natural bias against medication and my psychologist and I just worked around it. It took 8 years for me to finally recover. I know how terrible and debilitating mental health problems can be and just how much courage it takes to do what you did. Keep going, you are strong! You have already won! God be with you! 🙏✨
a year ago the psychologist said I would never recover from cptsd. I refused to accept it and yes, if ur waiting for a therapist, I'll be there forever. A year later I'm 100% recovered. I believe God lead me on the right path to find my way out. I'm grateful every day. People must know it's possible. Believing Drs is the problem

A ketogenic diet actuelly helped me deeply to recover from long time medication with neuroleptica and a beginning dementia. There is a cultural belief, a kind of discrimination between the mind and the body. Let's give the brain what it actually needs as a "living organ amongst other organs like the liver". Our brains need fat, not carbs. Let's give into this revolution.
I've tried to benefit from counseling all my life and became disillusioned with psychiatry. I've always maintained that I do not hear voices that I can't identify as my own or my imagination. Recently, a doctor who must have barely reviewed notes sent by my therapist tried prescribing a long acting antipsychotic injection to "help with the voices". I perked up and asked him "who ever said anything about voices?"
I just wanted to talk to a professional about a man's research on schizophrenia (Dr. Iain McGilchrist) and I was almost sedated into oblivion for an illness I'm pretty sure I don't suffer from. Even if some type of schizophrenia would be a viable diagnosis for me, I'll never know because I can't effectively communicate with professionals, and I'm too afraid to be trapped a ward again despite never being violent.
I don't know how well I'll fair out without support but I feel as though I narrowly avoided a dark path merely by stepping off a conveyor belt.
Another doc to keep in mind is Joanna Moncrief.
Ur a hero dude ty for spreading the truth misinformation and propaganda are crazy
I have a similar diagnosis and this is a really comforting message. Acknowledging of course the seriousness of schizophrenia and how meds are a major useful aspect of treatment, i have myself found a less medication focused approach is more preferable.
Its controversial for people in my life and even my doctor, with these meds being kind of a requirement in many perspectives, understandably.
But i had actually been in a place where i was serious about taking meds as needed, if at all, and being responsible about it. I couldn't find support in my support group about the subject, but luckily it really seems to be a benefit more than not to avoid meds.
So thanks for this information as even though it's still being researched, this is at least letting me know that there is some logic to the approach.
Going of my abilify caused me to have rebound psychosis that has been going on and off for 2 months. I only had psychosis for a few days, and started abilify 5 days after it stopped. Should not have ever started abilify.
Abilify made me extremely impulsive and engage in very harmful behaviors.
KarXT is novel drug working on muscarinic receptors but still in research phase
I was diagnosed with Schizo Affective Disorder around 2018, it never made me feel hurt or struggling but when I got my first injection of Invega Susstena it felt like it was cutting neutral pathways, as soon as it was dark I was immediately sleepy and slept the whole night, waking up was mentally painful, dreams confusing, I would want to go pee but take like 2 minutes to trigger the function, my memories felt like 144p and devoid of emotion, my imagination would either be too loud or disturbingly blank, reading and playing games like cards and solitaire was hard and much more,, but its been almost 5 years since I last took the shot and things got way better...in my opinion a schizophrenic is better of having the knowledge of the symptoms,learning to have a better inner monologue,treating daily task like checklist and doing sanity showers cz a Schizophrenic mind naturally worries about alot of things regularly so a sanity shower is like clearing RAM of a computer.
The initial psychiatrist that I spoke to diagnosed me with major depressive disorder and said it did not look like I had schizophrenia. The psychiatrist above him, whom I did not speak to, diagnosed me with schizophrenia. He's the same guy who diagnosed my friend with the same disorder 10 years ago, when In reality he was suffering from lsd and dmt induced psychosis. He is fine now but he probably changed a bit as a result of 5 years of injections of abilify and invega.
Marianne Lynch is a christian blogger, who once was diagnosed with schizo and she said that one day God told her not to listen to the voices and she obeyed God and since then, never heard voices again. Debra Holland has another testimony like hers. Barbara O'Neil used to be a Psych nurse but left her career because she didn't like what she was seeing but she said that now there are some very few Psychiatries who recommend many hours of exercise or running a day, since working out gives that euphoria. Based on my studies of the Bible schizo is strongly related to the spiritual realm.
Thanks. I find your hat comforting and I think your microphone would agree. M.
The symptoms of schizophrenia and other severe psychological orders are precisely what need to be leaned into to for recovery. Meds can provide support to keep people functioning, but the specifics of the delusions and hallucinations offer a wealth of information for the traumatic aspects of these conditions. It’s a give and take. Psychiatry makes the mistake over and over again of looking for pharmaceuticals that will cure all ills.
Thank you so much for doing these truth videos!
I am a victim of forced erroneous drugging.
The anti psychotics are killing me, damaging my health, mind, laziness, sleep, anxiety, eyesight is poor now, & I have become very stupid.
Even for people who weren't misdiagnosed, I am still 100% against it for them also.
Thanks for doing these.
God bless.. xx
I'm unsure about this. Just because they weren't taking medication doesn't mean they got better and didn't need it anymore. I know and love people with schizophrenia who won't take medication because they believe their delusions are 100% real and nothing is wrong with them. Their quality of life is really sad because of this and it's heartbreaking. Id like to hope serious mental illness like this would just go away on its own, but i do know if untreated for long enough you can be beyond the help of medications.
What haven't you seen the Indonesian Tiktok post who wouldn't want a Schizophrenic anime girlfriend
Since you’re a psych nurse, can you tell me why people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder automatically get medication‘s when they’ve had a psychotic break? Is it so they get stabilized faster and can get out of the hospital?
I think there's many reasons. I think sometimes people just want an instant fix--it's part of the culture we live in. I also think there's an expectation to 'do something' and so that's what many medical professionals do. Lastly, sometimes psychosis can be very scary for a lot of people (including the family members of the diagnosed) and they just want to feel safe/some sense of normalcy again.
Please dig out dr Hoffer's research, people need to know..sometimes you need to take the risk and taper on your own when there is no support from hs or resistance even and tardive dyskinesia starts. But yes it is very tricky some gradual tapering may be necessary, however I have heard that when tardive starts you should stop immediately..it was not suggested what to do when withdrawal kicks off.. This system is so rotten 😢
are you people real? How do you function without everyday meds? Cuz I don't.
@SchizoAn0n listen, I don't take meds 1 day and I start getting people walking around me and talking to me that don't exist. Stop talking out of your bottom and trying getting people killed.
Does this hold true for bipolar with psychosis too? Im medicated with antipsychotics and reeeeeaaaallllllly want to come off.
Lithium may be more tolerable if you can make the change.
I was put on anti psychotics.. they made me into a zombie.. gained so much weight.. I realised these were not helping me ..
Weened off and cut out alot of the other crappy tablets they said I should take.. 13 down to now 3 ..
All they want to do is keep you Quiet..
Yes, this video was so helpful!
Psychotic breakdowns get diagnosed as schizophrenia. Doctors been concerned about duty of care, take this option as someone dangerous and out of their mind may harm or hurt themselves or somebody else. So easier to medicate them as it may be very risky to do otherwise.
I think all schizophrenia are psychotic breakdowns that have went on too long.
Put it this way, during the breakdown the person is so exhausted that their hallucinations and voices are in fact the patient simultaneously in the REM sleep state and awake state. Of course we are not outside observers of our dreams but participants, and that's why it all seems so real to the person with schizophrenia.
Now obviously, sedatives are making the situation way worse, the delusions increase. Even more disturbingly when the situation goes on too long, the patient cannot separate their own inadequacies from their diagnosis.
For example, a lazy person with schizophrenia would not understand that the voice he is hearing telling him not to do the dishes is in fact his own repressed laziness speaking to him.
Many studies in Europe have established years ago that schizophrenia is easy to heal from.
The insanity of thinking there is such a thing as a happy pill has lead to this medicated zombification of many. Now doctors, big pharma aren't entirely to blame, what is to blame is people including patients listening to the snake oil salesman to the point where they have fully given themselves over to it.
I have the diagnosis, and they forsed and still forse me to take abilify injections…… now im afraid i cant elever quit beacouse of the withdrawl symptoms
I have a opid problem. I took zypraxia to not hard substances. The zypraxia withdrawls were worse than anything I did.
Like any med, you taper off little by little to avoid withdrawals. But do it with the supervision of a doctor
Fuk the meds stay positive be sober
I am schizophrenic. I take one injection a month for it. This video is eye-opening. I can’t believe recovery is possible without medications! This video exposes the myth around schizophrenia that recovery is not possible without medication. I hope this video gets more views and exposes the psychiatry industry. Great video, man! Consider me subscribed!
since schizophrenia cause is still mystery the doctors just say it was not schizophrenia and misdiagnose if someone recovered from it without drugs
Michael, are you serious? Who is this guy even, calling himself a psych nurse. There's no full recovery from schizophrenia, it's like diabetes, it's with a person for life, just the brain is malfunctioning. One needs meds, period. (I have schizophrenia.)
@@Aelurfey it's possible to fully recover from schizophrenia. For example, there are few cases of full recovery after bone marrow transplantation. Or Eleanor Longden who doesn't take any medication for 10 years but still hears voice, but we all have internal voice or internal dialog . Doctors just call it remission, but for some people this remission can be until their last days.
There is no cure for schizophrenia, but there is full recovery from schizophrenia.
@@nemo3874 I don't take pill 1 day, my sense of reality disappears.
@Aelurfey I don't wish to discourage you, but type 2 diabetes is reversible with the right diet. I just recently found that out. There is schizophrenia in my family and all types of mental disorders and I'm finding out how bad these meds are. I hope there is an alternative to these meds, that would be great!
There were two longitudinal studies, one in Vermont and one in Maine. I talked with the lead researcher in Maine. He told me how complex the study was. Both these studies were published; Vermont 1987 and Maine 1995. Both studies found similar outcomes. I do not know why these studied are not well known. Anyone who is in college and majoring in psychiatry, psychology, social work or psychiatric nursing should be told of these studies. Here we are 30 years later and the are buried in time.
Did the researcher you talked to have any theories why these studies and their conclusions aren't more well-known?
@@A_Psych_Nurse That was not discussed.

I recovered completely entirely on my own without medication or counseling within a few years by not believing in the hallucinations and delusions.

Jesus healed me from schizophrenic.
I suffered 6 years with hallucinations and paranoia. 15 years later I’m still completely healed from this illness.
After accepting Jesus in my heart I was completely healed from My hallucinations but was somewhat still paranoid. That was until I started working outside with my hands that I no longer suffer with either.
Allah created Jesus so worship Allah instead, He is the true healer

My sister has been experiencing this condition since past two weeks, she hear voices in her head she believes what people with havana syndrome believe, she has the symptoms of schizophrenia, what should i do, people are sying that we should take her to psychiatrist asap?
Try to go to psychiatrist. Sometimes meds help. Then try to do research. Maybe she is allergic to something. There is such thing as bread madness, schizophrenia caused by gluten, there is marijuana induced psychosis, schizophrenia caused by marijuana. So she maybe allergic to something. I am personally allergic to sunflower oil. And was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. I feel better now. I take my medication and try to eat few sunflower oil.
If you can afford it. Find an unaffiliated psychiatrist from any big institution.
To this day, R.D. Laing had the BEST understanding of schizophrenia and the psychiatric/medical industry
he's good but genius--so much so that sometimes it's hard for me to know what he writes about :(. Reminds me of difficult philosophy i used to read back in the day.

Thanks for your honesty. Meds have their place, but less is probably much better than more. And support that lifts these people from poverty (common sense if you ask me) may be even more beneficial. Psychiatrists know this is true, but many times they like to play god, and don't have the courage to not tow the line. Ultimately the patient pays the price.
Shame on them......
5,41 What anout the outcome of Big Pharmas shareprice.
There is people defficent is serotonin in the sense of low serotonin uptake that's depression an cortisol switched on longer that three weeks that's psychotic depressions where unwanted emphasis of a illogically based dreams could manifest, that's from low serotonin uptake,
On the other hand someone with predisposition to psychosis that's illogic without cortisol from high uptake of serotonin too high for cortisol to be switched on, they actually benifit from chemical restraint hormone blocking drugs they need a psychotic antagonist,
People with psychotic depression need a psychosis antagonist because cortisol switch on on is psychotic switched on an you need a healthy balence of psychotic an psychosis emotion accessible to both, it's just when one is switched on the other half of people's emotions are missing someone psychosis isn't empathetic, someone psychotic with cortisol switched on isn't empathetic, yet lower psychosis uptake or increase psychotic uptake of serotonin you level these people out, sometimes the imbalance is to high of serotonin so chemical restraint is needed,
Someone psychotic can switch off cortisol with marijuana by raising serotonin that's a cortisol inhibitor
Psychotic emotion without cortisol switched on that's without the flight mechanism anger is just defeated sadness ,
That people wake up psychotic with flight mechanism switched on that's cortisol acting on emotions ,that in detention the flight mechanism is drug an beat into submission yet subconsciously the flight mechanism is still there is just submission an sadness with the flight mechanism consciously defeated, yet in the comfort of your own gown you allow yourself to get pissed off by yourself you write a rant ,yet smoking a 0.25g cone of marijuana over two hours like a 5 puff toke every half an hour switch that flight mechanism off after three tokes over an hour every half hour, then cortisol relapse maybe an hour an a half into that yet it's only sadness without the flights mechanism,the emotions are content enough to not get angry , yet they wake up psychotic every day with a flight mechanism related to cortisol to switch off, that a toke every half hour is just taking someone somewhere between psychotic an psychosis an that is the elastisity of clinical sanity for the deficient in serotonin,.
What I don't like is someone saying psychotic emotion is psychosis emotion,
Yet psychotic is angry because of cortisol psychotic or just psychotic without cortisol switched on sadness,
That psychotic emotion has greater resistance to illogic than psychosis
Do you know what a person with psychosis episodes can take? My mom has episodes for days or weeks then comes back to normal again.
what is the name of the study?
Psalm 23 and Psalm 91.
Not a christian, but psalm 23 is awesome
The preaching on the hill in mathew is also pretty neat
What does that have to do with anything ?
pretty interesting that you can go into remission or abolition through the cessation
Are B vitamins essential if one has this illness? If so, which ones?
Vitamin B will improve the condition of schizophrenia
How can it be treated without medicines?
meditation, trying to relax, take your mind off things, read books, change your diet to be better, exercise
Look up natural treatments for schizophrenia. You will find a list of vitamins, herbs, etc, that help.
Thank you very much for this offering, it really opens up a vision for hope.
Selective sampling of a small sample size from a very dated era of treatment. You're not suggesting this is any way valid for people now. It's absolutley a certainty that treaament for scizophrenia does reduce the long term effects of symptoms. It's very clear that medication does reduce the long term ruduction in functioning outcomes. Visa versa it's very clear that medications do posatively correlate with better outcomes. Regardless of studies or statistic these studies go against the lived experience of the majority of people who live with schizophrenia. Medication complience is one of the most difficult issues in the treatment of people with psycosis. Each untreated episode of psycosis further exasperastes the long term negative effects.
Show me some meta anaylasis of modern studies with modern treatments.
This sort of retoric is something you would find being put forward by people like scientologists who are anti psychiatry.
Nope this video will be talked about in 100's of years for it visionary forward thinking and superb approach!!!

A pastor from Hardcore Christianity has testified that he is an ex-schizophrenic, thanks to Jesus. I myself have experienced freedom from bad depression, gluttony issues, and a compulsion to wander aimlessly by doing multiple deliverances in Jesus' name. The roots of my problems were spiritual, and I'm not surprised that psychiatry and psychology have so little success in actually fixing patients because they discount the spiritual.
A small number of people cannot have normal lives without those meds.
My son 😢 but my friend quit his meds been doing great for years..
Look into the definition of medication. It is just a drug. Nothing broken is being fixed.
It's quite simple, the disorder is not genetic it is epigenetic and is caused in utero by gestational zinc deficiency. Onset of the disorder occurs during periods of zinc deficiency caused by stress and some cases can be cured by zinc and manganese supplements. Check out the two sunspot theory papers in medical hypotheses.
If your reality is too distressing...why wouldn't you seek relief in a reality where the pain wasn't so hard to live with !
I've come to he conclusion that schizophrenia is essentially a group of bad habits in one's mind. It's also called double mindedness. A person is essentially not able to be truly in the moment. I've allways disliked the label of schizophrenia, but for people who are hearing camanding voices or violent urges, it sort of makes sense for them to be on meds. That's the vast majority of victims though
Take this to the medical professionals, not the people who need their help. What is your motivation?
I don't know why they don't simply ask the software programmers to help them with their homework. We already know it when we see it but yet the vast majority of effort seems to find the recycling center.
Without my medications I've got my symptoms back really quickly. I've got one injection once per two weeks and feel healthy and normal.

Hello I am sczhnophrenia patient from India
hi!
Reduced stress did wonders for me,
it made me quiet lonely because i don't do many things anymore,
but the reward is feeling relatively normal again.
Altough i also take a small dose of olanzapin on a daily basis.
For people that only have Schizophrenia they could probably get by taking very little or even no meds at all. But I have Schizoaffective, which is Schizophrenia plus a mood disorder. When I'm off of my meds I feel really pretty frightened and like I might hurt someone or myself. That is why over the past 10 years or so I have used as prescribed. Every day. And if you want to know what is like. It is like being chased by witches and demons, the world is ending, everyone is talking about you, you've sold your soul, and just abject horror and irrational fear. ❤🎉
You know... science is not always done cleanly and honestly, I've heard from someone who actually did do their research. I've had psychosis (mild schizophrenia) for years now and I've done my own field research on what works for me and doesn't, by utilizing different treatment forms. I did at least 10 different forms of treatment on myself, and three of them are notable enough to be mentioned here. All those three forms are scientifically validated, yet I've not heard nor seen anyone use them. Biogeometry, thymus chakra work, and shadow work.
There, I spilled the beans. Enjoy.
love shadow work--I'll have to look up those other two! thanks for stopping by :)
@@A_Psych_Nurse You're most welcome! Biogeometry is easy to find if you google that word or "Ibrahim Karim", its founder. As for thymus chakra, chakras have been scientifically proven to exist (and its easy to experientially prove they exist too) at around 1970s. Paul Chek has one book called "How To Eat, Move And Be Healthy!", where in chapter 5 he has "zone exercises" which are basically chakra exercises. They are supposed to be done like you'd do Tai Chi, which is very simple. There on page 111 is "McKenzie Press-Up" and on page 114 is "Thoracic Mobilization". Those two I've found to be the best for boosting your thymus chakra, especially if you train a bit and combine those two moves into a kind of one standing move.
Aaaaaamen🎉👏🙌🏽✝️ the devil is a liar!
When you chuck the book in the trash and empty you have made you first step, very convincing, not what you think.
Is there a reason that upon beginning every phrase/sentence/paragraph you change frames so quickly? These jerky motions and quick switches IS NOT good for anyone seeking information or help. This is an eye-opener alright, if you know a miniscule amount of the information you claim to know...then you 100% know this is sabotage to anyone entering or in crisis. This is exactly why someone in crisis that needs help would STOP seeking it! Wow...I am speechless. 'A Psych Nurse' would never exacerbate conditions.
What precisely does the research show? Are antipsychotics always necessary/beneficial in those w/ first episode psychosis?
Does seeking help always equate to taking medication?
Thank you for the comment!
