Our son lost his battle with schizophrenia in 2015. The voices were always negative but, through his immense suffering, he remained a very gentle, kindly soul totally empathetic for people and animals. I love you son and am sorry for this terrible affliction.
Sorry for your loss💕 I'm bipolar with psychotic features and the on and off psychosis is literally some of the scariest experiences of my life. I can't imagine what it was like for him to probably deal with psychosis every single day...
What blows my mind is that these two men could never have imagined that their brief conversation in this small room would be seen by 22 million people 61 years later.
No he knew. And he kept trying to tell the interviewer that there was 22 million people lying on their sides watching him through glass orbs powered by burning coal. Then the interviewer gave him more lithium and he forgot all about it
This is an old comment about this man that seems to have been lost: This man was my uncle. I'm not going to give any names, but for those of you who are concerned with how things turned out for him, not well. There's so much to address here. First let me say that he was being treated in this video with meds. Without the medication his mood ranged from complete delusion to catatonic. As for being gay, I don't think he had much of a sex drive at all. With or without meds. As for the idea that he was put here because he was gay by some unloving family, that's ridiculous. I don't have time to say all the things my family tried just to make his existence somewhat peaceful just for his own sake. My family had a couple of openly homosexual and lesbians in it even back in the sixties and with the exception of my mother's father no one gave a shit. My uncle suffered with meds and even more without. After forty some odd years, most of which he spent in institutions, he took his own life by way of drug overdose. By the way, the comment about the plot twist, he never had a piano was funny because he didn't. His seeming obsession with piano came and went as did obsessions with religion, especially the Catholic Church and government. As far as I know he couldn't play a lick. He was very ill at his best and a living shell at his worst. I hope that answers some questions because that's all I have to say on the matter. He's been gone since the late eighties and I really hope that other members of my family don't see this video, mostly because of the comments from people that somehow think they understand him better than the people who suffered with him. One last thing, I think people thought that he was talking about sitting or standing effeminately or something. No, he was talking about sitting or standing motionless for hours. Usually not even his facial expression would change but when it did it was usually related to something in his mind only. I really can't begin to tell you all how heartbreaking the whole thing was. He did seem intelligent and with meds he did remind me of a high functioning guy with autism I once met.
As a schizophrenic myself, I feel very deeply for this individual. It's sad that sometimes people just have brain chemistry that goes out of whack. I take eight different medications, but it's MOSTLY controlled. I am lucky that I was born in this time and not when the gentleman in the video was born we have more and better antipsychotic medications which let me lead a mostly normal life. There are breakthrough episodes, false perceptions and delusions still, but the majority of the time I feel pretty good.

The channel.. living well after schizophrenia is one of the best advancements they have today for mental health issues . Which is a ketogenic diet .i wouldn’t be surprised if the government knew the solution and never told anybody.
he speaks like that due to meds and fear of saying the wrong thing and getting further electric shocks, was common practice back then, even now still in some cases is common practice
@@jaktam8765 people should not dislike anyone just because he is different from them, specially when it's not his fault that he is different . It's not his choice . So I don't understand what you mean exactly !
I feel so sorry for him. He seems such a gentle soul. Lost in a world he doesn't understand. We can go to the moon, but we can't help people like him. So sad...
@@curtisvenom32 i’m not sure if you thought patricia’s comment was negative, but nobody’s saying anything is wrong with the man in the video in the sense that he’s hurting anyone. schizophrenia is a very difficult, complex, and scary thing to have and in severe cases like this man’s, just “letting him be” means letting him suffer with a debilitating condition. patricia was just expressing their wish that he could have had more help dealing with his schizophrenia.
Come on. He is not in the moment. His obsession with the piano is all in his mind. His mind is broken and he is sharing the results. How could you make a comment like that when you know absolutely zero about this man? That is an insult to all his family and the doctors who treat him. Please think bfore you make an all encompassing statement like that. Watch his eyes dart and search for memory and logic. It doesnt come to him naturally. There is nothing observant or eloquent about this man.
@@cchapman7101 First of all, we don't know "absolutely zero about this man". We knew zero before we watched this video and learned some things about him. Also, he clearly displayed most of those characteristics definitively. He may also be honest, just seemingly not so, given his delusional misperception of reality. What are you talking about? Do you even know what eloquent means? He's most certainly eloquent.
He was thinking of his answers he was trying to shut the voices off hes hearing before he answers cuz schizophrenics feel like their thought process is voiced arguing in their head telling him "hes stupid and dont answer him and dont trust him he doesn't like you that's a stupid answer dont say that"its always negative and poor self esteem he has delusions probably hallucinations watch his eyes.He is completely not intuned to this world,his frequencys way off.He barely understands why hes there.How can someone watch this and say hes smart,thoughtful,ect. I mean he only wants to play the piano for the peoples.Hes creepy but completely harmless.super paranoid.so sad
the pause denotes "catatonic schizophrenic"... it may also be that he is being queued when to respond? either way he seems to be a genuinely tortured soul.
@Ace Carter your comment is the reason America is at this situation! Look at the places which is not diversified, still backward and full of narrow/shallow minds (like you)! The country is mostly run by the diversity, this country built on diversity! It is still consider a great strength!
This dude is having a mental battle inside. You can see it from his long pauses before answering, and eyes shooting around. He's got a tough mind though he's very composed.
It's his belief that others dislike him...interesting that he said, his father dislikes him. I remember a young chap begging his mother to sign him out..very sad for everyone.
Yeah have you seen the special books by special kids videos on yt?? Some patients explain these issues way better since they have been through therapy. Its insane how it must feel to be them.
@@joserolon3910 it's a simple way to look at it for sure. However, a lot of mental illnesseses like this have been found to be caused by drug use or a trauma injury. Also, my use of 'god love him' is actually a saying that is said a lot where I come from lol I mean 'poor soul' or 'such a shame my heart goes out to him' its just a saying people say a lot where I'm from even if they are not people of the cloth x thanks for the comment ♥️
he is called catatonic because he doesnt initiate conversation or even movement. he has to be forced basically or pushed by a doctor to even speak. I believe he lives in his own imagination. we dont understand everything about people with his condition and probably never will.. but we need to learn that no matter what these are people too and deserve love kindness and friendship like everyone else
For anyone who hasn't seen this already, here's a quote from someone who may be this dudes nephew or niece: "This man was my uncle.

Paul Brinkerhoff There’s no point. Feeling bad for him is masturbatory. If he was still alive, your sympathy still couldn’t improve his situation. Feeling bad for him still wouldn’t make you want to spend time with him. I grew up with a close family member with schizophrenia. Learning that nothing you do can possibly change them, that you can never fix them.. It’s taken my entire life to accept. I’ve dealt with guilt for a long time over distancing myself. But, I promise you, they are a wood chipper that you could feed your heart to, and it wouldn’t change anything.

@@cherifaimenemaroc1450 Thanks for the repost, I saw that comment a good while ago, not sure if it was posted somewhere down this video or on another upload
I am disabled with schizophrenia myself, and have been hospitalized twice with it. I really feel for this man. I wish he could have lived a more comfortable life. I'm not about to comment my life story or anything, but I have videos on my channel detailing my experience with the illness if anyone is curious as to what it is like.
My brother is also wirh Schizophrenia. The medicines cannot heal. I brought him to see a Canadian natropath. An IgG food allergy test was ordered. And it cane out he was allergy withwheat gluten and gliadin. My brother then eliminated all wheat products from the diet. He then recovers.
This breaks my heart. He seems like a really kind guy. So sad he took his own life, and I send lots of love and strength to the members of his family. When he talks about the piano he seems so happy, it hurts that people had to live with this horrendous mental illness. I have BDP (borderline personality disorder) and I thought about taking my own life a million times, I can't even imagine how hard for someone with squizophrenia would be.
Do you know what schizophrenia is you moron? He thinks people don’t like him when in reality they don’t care at all. That’s literally the disease, nobody actually dislikes him and he’s trying to convince himself that they do.
@@Bradyn08 Agree or disagree: Ableism exists. If you say agree, then assuming at least some people hate him because he doesn't act like them is automatically correct because of the existence of ableism. If you disagree, then either I envy you or pity you from how much you need to go outside.
Chances are he may of been traumatized, he seems almost like when a child is in trouble but doesn’t know what to say to deescalate the situation. Medicine has come along way but make no mistake it was not kind to people who were mentally different.
If you have an anxiety problem then you can get traumatized very easily. If your amygdala is malfunctioning, or overreactive, you're going to be very anxious and insecure. You'll have a very difficult time relating to other people because you're so confused on how to do it. Do they hate me for who I am? Did I do something wrong? You're overwhelmed by paranoia and distrust, constantly fighting ghosts in your mind, and also resenting the fact that you have to deal with others in your life. In addition to that, you can get delusional and think you're more than you are while at the same time thinking others have prevented you from doing your best. It's you against the world and the world against you. You've developed the biggest ego but have the smallest self-esteem. Going from one extreme to the other is what drives you crazy and paralyzes your life. There are so many issues going on you don't know what the fuck to do. Sadly, I'm talking from experience.
Yeah it's weird! Also the doctor is obviously not a professional. Just a amateur actor! The doctor wasn't understanding what he meant by the paino sitting thing. What an idiot. He was just making the patient confused and uncomfortable!!
just to address some of the stuff in this misinformed comments section: first, you cannot empathize with him. the way he experiences the world is completely distinct from your powers of empathy. there is not necessarily any chain of causality leading to behavior in schizophrenic patients, and empathy is primarily a function of the intuition of causality based on one's own experiences. one of the hallmarks of this illness is a complete disintegration of action/words/symbols from any deducible causality. you can't assume that when a schizophrenic takes time to answer that he's "waiting for someone to tell him the answer," because that is what YOU would do, and you are not likely to be schizophrenic. even if you WERE schizophrenic, there is no real commonality between the internal logic of any two schizophrenics. schizophrenia is in a large way the complete absence of deducible logic. it is anti-logic itself, and there will be no two commonalities in logical structures between any two schizophrenics. second, the doctor is not "weird" or "unprofessional." he is engaging in the patient's own dialectic style. for the record, the doctor here knows more about this patient than he is letting on. also for the record, the "way he stands" or sits at the piano according to the patient is completely distinct from observable reality. he would exhibit waxy flexibility for hours on end, sitting at the piano blankly or standing, all completely without moving at all. this is why he is at the hospital, and the interviewer knows this. the purpose of this interview is not to gather information. indeed, getting information from him is obviously almost completely unreliable viz. reality. the purpose is to gain insight into the WAY he experiences his own reality. it is the mechanism of thought he's trying to establish. it is not important AT ALL for the purposes of this interview to try to correct the patient's perceptions, because it's the perceptions themselves in that crystallized manner which are important. before you call anyone an idiot, make sure your own ducks are in a row, and make sure you're in your own lane. if anyone wants to actually learn more about schizophrenia in a way less sterile than scientific psychology, i would recommend the following books: madness and modernism, by sass capitalism and schizophrenia, by deleuze and guattari
No he can't looks at the doc in the eye. When the doc looks down he staresbat him and when the doc looks up he starts darting back and forth trying to look at him
"As soon as I express the belief that I do not belong in this hospital, which is a mental hospital, then those who dislike me want to find a worse place for me." That's so sad.
He saw him self as a normal person, he doesn't understand what is wrong with him so he would never recognize he is ill. I also bet that the care takers in that hospital could have been cruel to him, to the point of threatening him to take him to a worst hospital.
and what’s fucked is that’s really how it works. I’ve been in and out of institutions, the more you try to say you’re fine or “normal” the more they push onto you, and the worse they treat you for being resistant. God forbid if you get too rowdy or else they’ll hold you down and give you some sedatives.

Jared Lee Loughner Was diagnosed with schizophrenia.. He murderd 6 ppl and wounding gabby grifford, an elected official to the republic... A congress woman.... The last two school shooter, excluding the kid from Michigan who's name escapes me, without looking it up. R no different than Jared Lee Loughner .. Suffering from mental duress and acting out negative emotional bad behaviour, commiting egregious crimes motived by hate... That hate is Marxist ideology predicated on the weak minds of individuals who have no knowledge on proper behaviour in a normal society, to deal with Marxist socialist fascist societies.. Socialism is a disease, witch is well documented throughtout federalist papers, but never targeted exactly as leftist ideology, mostly dew to the fact it's not well known at that time of what socialism is, still today debated... ..This individual is in the right place for him, regardless of how he feels, witch is a clear indication of how he feels in this vid about how ppl c or feel about him, he can be easily triggered. .. His mental state can de radicalized by leftis ideology at a whim, because of his intelligence of reasoning and rasholiizing what is not right... Anyone can become confused of this.... the best thing for him is to stay institutionalize and away from a vigorous society that can aid him in murdering ppl... . He dose not know he is sick. .. Democracies have a tendency to revolutionize young minds... That's the idea of Marxisum.. I have watch ppl with mental health commint egregious sin for over 2 decades. Stabbing if multiple individuals with over 20 knife wonds to the upper torsos and face where the mentality I'll was revolutionized by thoughts of delusion grandeur.. All these individuals I have watched r well educated intelligent individuals who eventually became schizophrenia, al, the ones iv ceen have murderd.. Vary few like this one is kept in a safe place for his own safety. .. It's sad ...
Poor man. My mom struggles with this same illness. The amount of time and effort it takes to care for someone like this is insane. I’m exhausted and emotionally drained everyday. Praying, that she’ll get better. Spoon feeding and helping her walk and shower is exhausting. I want you all to know, this illness isn’t a joke. It destroys one’s life! I will love my mom forever.
this is an instructional video made by actors to teach students of psychiatry. It's made by the Theater Arts Department of the University of California. Watch the beginning of the video. It's a tool for teaching students, it is often done, it's called a "video vignette". Look it up. It's illegal to show actual patients. For another example of a psychiatric video vignette, look at this ruclips.net/video/4YhpWZCdiZc/видео.html, and read the last paragraph of the introduction.
I guess I just want somewhere to share my story. When I was 19 I took shrooms, and it was like I was turned inside out. As a child, I was very extroverted and loved being around people. And after the shrooms, I felt disconnected from everyone and everything around me. I just wanted to alone. I am learning to feel happiness from within myself, not running from myself. It's been a LONG and PAINFUL process but once it's healed, it's healed and beautiful.
0:09 one time i did shrooms (my first n only time but i had done acid before) and i started to notice how badly my friends treated me and i saw how we interracted with each other more clearly, and it really opened my eyes.
I can relate to that. It definitely was the beginning of the end for me too. But the ending of something less real, so I'm ok with it. Just took a lot of adjusting and I can't bring others with me like I tried to at first. 0:03

Unfortunately people with mental health weren't treated well in the 60's. My dad has horror stories of his now obviously bi polar mother getting shock treatment.
What beautiful and correct English speech. It is obvious that this guy is from a good and intelligent family. A sensitive, deep person, with a rich inner world. Truly, illness does not choose its victims.
Justin Flynn Which is why people like Michael Foucault were right, so so many people with mental issues fundamentally have most of their issues rooted in the way society treats them, not for why they are.
He’s consulting the voices in his head for the answers. My fiancé is schizophrenic. She’s mild enough she knows the voices are a messed up version of her own thoughts and not other beings. Some people suffer so deeply they cannot tell the difference and will listen to the voices and do as they say. She says when she disagrees with the voices they get mean to her and resentful of her. She knows it’s not real and just ignores it or sleeps a lot when it gets bad. We’re in our late 30s and during her life she’s found a medication combination that works very well for her. He probably has had the voices be mean and resentful towards him at a much more intense level and listens to them and is consulting them for his responses because he trusts and/or fears them. My fiancé says that when they get mean they belittle you and since it’s your own mind they know all your worst secrets and shortcomings and what really bothers you about yourself. But it’s not a they or a them. It’s you. It’s you doing it in your mind to yourself. Many schizophrenic people believe the voices and loose trust in others. The voices can convince them that everyone is an enemy. Some act out on it in very violent ways or take their own life. In all actuality he is probably being coached by a voice telling him that they’re against him and that he should be scared that his answers will result in more treatment.

Simon Lowe well thats exactly what ur doing. you have no facts on this man however everyone talks about him like he is the greatest person. in actuality you have no clue what he did to get there. he could have killed a whole family for all you know.
He's like a real-life cartoon. Or a painting that came to life. It is amazing though, its actually the reason I opened this video....I wanted to see if it was CGI.
People can never imagine how tormenting and painful schizophrenia is. It’s truly soul shattering. I’m so sorry for this man’s family and loved ones. I pray with every ounce of my soul that they find a cure one day.
i knew a boy in high school that was undiagnosed with the same condition. People always made fun of him but I always knew. When he was on meds for ‘manic depression’ he spoke like this. He was brilliant. And so kind. He just said things that didn’t make sense a lot of times and it was so disconnected that it only made sense that he was hearing other voices and answering them rather than the outside world. I hope he’s ok today.
We have all our own world we all live in a bobble , and we don't share with others , so we can say there are millions of universe out there because there are millions of bubbles
@@piccadelly9360 yes. But at the same time we simply can’t just say. That isn’t enough. We must think before we say. But at the same time. We can’t think without others really. That’s how we get information. So how CAN we THINK before we actually think??? It’s like that saying common sense ain’t so common. But add who gives that common sense. I’s it God? Is it you? Or is it others. I’m religious but I like to THINK God gave me a blessing of thinking differently. Bc we’re all the same. We just think differently. You CAN THINK there are millions of others of galaxies. Simply because there might be millions of us. But atleast try to think twice before actually thinking. Bc this video taught me we only get one life. So truly THINK and ponder bro. Is life fair? So many people know how to show empathy for people they THINK are less intellectual than them. But no one really THINKS about how others are truly feeling. We just see and think for ourselves nowadays. All I’m saying is just think before you think.

@@piccadelly9360 life is so much easier when you look at everything like it’s a program. Everything has a code (meaning) behind it. But at the same time we can only know so much.

I put my trust and faith in God. I can only know so much and learn everything there is at the same time. But at the same time we simply don’t have enough time to learn everything lol.I could really go on forever but I’ll confuse my self lol. Have a good one bro
"As soon as I express the belief that I do not belong in this hospital, which is a mental hospital, then, those who dislike me want to find a worse place for me" This is still true in 2024.
He is COMPLETELY self-aware and very articulate! I don't consider him mentally ill. I think of him as talented and incredibly shy and fearful because he has been abused by others who have pigeon-holed him into a status that is somehow below "themselves." Pisses me off! This interviewer pisses me off, as well! Psychiatrists and therapists have made great inroads with their interviewing methods, though I'm sure that somewhere, there are people still as naive as this interviewer and making it rough for people like this poor guy!
Sickening isn't it the so called normal people are not the ones that I want to look up to I'm different and people treat me differently but ide much rather be me than them this world is sicker than it thinks the world is insane people who suffer from mental illnesses are self aware and aware of what's around them this guy is worth far more than any of these so called vile humans
Remember, you see a psychopath every day outside, they are succesful psychopath that are more smart than the unsuccessful psychopath who can't stop their actions and emotions
He's actually probably struggling to answer coherently. One of schizophrenia's features is a disorganized type of speech, so often times they simply say random things ('word salad') or repeat what they hear (echolalia). Notice how he latches on to certain words the interviewer asks him, saying them multiple times throughout his answers- he's latching on to what pieces of reality he can. It's a sad condition, given the oft-misunderstood (and even scary!) appearance it creates, without any choice on the part of the patient.

I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with schizophrenia. Spent my whole life fighting schizophrenia. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I'm so very happy for you, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Germany don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms. My daughter did straight shrooms in few days. Made her whole! after words, no more addictions, pains, ptsd and depression. It helped us.
No, Sir. I would have liked to have been previliged to have heard him play to his heart's content as well. Unfortunately the poor fellow has regretfully passed away many years ago leaving me wondering what his issues were in regard to the piano. I guess we shall never know now that he is no longer amongst the living. Perhaps his offspring if he did have any could enlighten the RUclips forum of any tidbit of information, which may shed light on this most intriguing of fellows. May he rest in peace and be forever remembered for being The Piano Guy without his instrument.🙄
@@JustCBAthe guy couldn’t actually play piano according to his uncle. He would often become obsessed with something and wouldn’t be able to talk about anything else.
In Russia, there are also such educational videos with "unhealthy" people from the Soviet times, they get 2-15 thousand comments there. People in great numbers admire how well those talking and expressing thoughts. There is the same video, exactly with the same name of the diagnosis. But there the man is completely silent.
Yeah this interview was probably close to some of the best empathy he had its very hard to fix the wounds of childhood, which I think is what needs to happen for someone like him to start again
Two years ago I made the biggest mistake laughing at this man calling him names. I feel terrible because after watching this for the second time I realized that no one is perfect and we all have our own special talents. When the man speaks he sounds like a very intelligent person!
I chuckled too. That's when some of us find the humor when it was accidentally presented. Lol. Bless his heart. It's almost like when your child says they don't like your haircut or you're fat or something. Lol.
@Isabela McK It didn't seem that way to me because a few moments later he thought of a way to explain it a little clearer. The whole situation is sad though. 😢
I almost laughed, but the pause as with every other answer made me realize that mind of his was swarming and searching for ways to answer and he either found something he thought to be displeasing or legitimately couldn’t find a way to explain. Either way, the time he takes to think before answering is beautiful and sad at the same time.
It’s like his eyes movements are representative of the voices he’s hearing in every corner of his mind. And the pauses, representative of, which thought has the most influence to manifest into words over the competition.
There is actually a way for this, I read that schizophrenic people's voices cause a faint vibration in the voice box which is louder inside the head but others can't hear.
Yeah try to live with one and tell me you feel sorry after that! My great aunt shits and pisses on my carpet to get attention🤢🤮 thank god her kids are stepping up finally!
He sounds so frustrated with the fact that people see him differently. He doesn't know what's wrong and people treat him differently. Sounds like a fucking nightmare.
It is indeed a nightmare. Such a shame how in principle noone looks at him differently, but becuase he thinks people do, people will ACTUALLY look at him differently. And then we are out here complaining when our train is delayed -_-
He’s extremely intelligent and sweet. It’s sad he had to deal with these judgemental people who avoided him. It’s not like he’s dangerous? Just be more compassionate. These people just need understanding, support and help.
Wow my heart absolutely breaks for him. I wonder what happened to him. Imagine the emotional pain he’s in and how afraid and vulnerable. Disgusting the comments on here, rethink what you said when your going through a depressive episode.
I can explain what happened to him very vividly. These people although it might be their job to interview they don’t understand the mind and how it works. I can translate everything this man is saying. There’s something extremely huge going on behind the scenes.
He reminds of Meursault, from Camus' "The Stranger": the extremely clear and succint phrasing, the deliberate manner of speech, the apparent complete divorce from any and all emotion, save for the occasional apparent confusion... This really shows why psychology and its studies were at a point called the "alien" sciences.
@@dr.lexwinter8604 You don’t think it’s possible for him to become traumatized by his illness or a particular event triggered by his illness? Not to mention the fact that he’s obviously institutionalized, places that have been previously notorious for treating their patients well. Are you an actual doctor?
@@dr.lexwinter8604 Seriously, do these people not realize that there is literally something wrong with his brain? That's not a judgement against him but it's like saying that someone who is walking with a limp due to a broken leg that they've obviously been traumatized. It's insulting to the patient and their families. They don't need random internet people making up reasons why they're ill. They need the illness to be acknowledged and treated.
"As soon as I express the belief that I do not belong in this hospital, which is a mental hospital, then, those who dislike me want to find a worse place for me." Honestly one of the saddest lines in this video. Although I cannot blame the hospital for doing what it's meant to do, it's still such a shame and makes you wish that there was a cure for this disorder. He's not only locked inside his own head, but he also doesn't get the same freedoms as every other person his age. Terrible disorder.
It’s terrifying for him I’m sure, he’s scared to say anything wrong that could put him in more worse therapy . He seems to process his thoughts or might have voices in his head. Someone also said he could have been misdiagnosed & could possibly have had Aspergers which I believe could be true but I heard a person would know they have Aspergers . then again I’m no expert. But
There is a way to treat him, it's called fecal microbiota transfer. It modulates the immune system which in turn reduces grey matter loss. A lot of diseases stem from basic, uncontrolled inflammation.
I’m not a psychiatrist (but by modern standards, neither were the people practicing psychiatry back then either) but I wonder if he’s not autistic (and a piano savant?). He definitely has the feeling that people think he acts very different than others do and that he’s not relating to others, and I wonder if his stilted, staccato speech isn’t because he’s just been drugged out of his mind. But in any case, at least actual schizophrenia has treatments. I wish autism did too.
@@HalfShelli idk, i think in the future, autism is more like a trait than a disability. People will eventually know how to work it around. I mean, autistic way of thinking can be...unique.
There isnt really cure but the world has come a long way in treatment, schizophrenia is treatable and many can live a long healthy life, there are a lot of interesting people to follow who deal with the disorder and teach about it, breaking up the stigma, fun fact too 1 in 100 people will be diagnosed with schizophrenia in their lifetime.
martin ratcliffe .... He clearly was/is quite smart and thoughtful with his precise answers and his careful structure of sentences. He was clearly well educated at some point. He sounds like he should be a English lit. Professor or something. Such a shame that mental health help in those years wasn't what get thing it is now. If he was that age now . He'd have his piano teaching job down pat and living life to his fullest and on medication to keep his mental stasis balanced. Like I am. I have some problems if I lived in this time I'd probably be in one of these videos myself. Sad!! Very sad!!!
Yeah there are at least a few studies which seem to demonstrate a relationship between schizophrenia and eye gazing patterns so yeah, cool observation :)!
@@valcheprod.7326 there seems to be a relationship between gazing patterns/movements during abstract thinking in people with schizophrenia (Oh J, et al. Behav Brain Funct, 2014)
Wenn man etwas darauf achtet, ja könnte man annehmen dass er auf seine innere Stimme wartet bis er antwortet. Ich glaube eher, dass er mit dieser Situation in der er sich befindet völlig überfordert zu sein scheint. Er ist ja seit 3 Monaten schon in dieser Klinik,und ich möchte nicht wissen mit welcher Art Medikamente die den armen Kerl ruhig gestellt haben. Ich glaube zu dieser Zeit waren wenig Symptome oder Krankheitsverlauf von Schizophrenie bekannt. Ich nehme stark an das er für die! Nur ein Spinner und Querläufer war.
@@PedalPoopers I don't think it's possible to judge his intellect one way or another from 10 minutes of film shot in an institution of a man already of atypical mind + likely under the influence of the psych meds they had to work with 60 years ago. Even a person we might not presume has much of an internal baseline "normal" can feel distorted on them - it's partly why severely mentally ill people can't stay compliant and on meds outside an institution.
I'm not sure where you're getting that from. I didn't hear him utter one complex erudite word. but nonetheless he is well-spoken. I have a feeling he's high IQ.
In NLP (which I have recorded in my clinical work as a behaviour analyst to be correct in about 75% of people) it seems to almost always follow this pattern: -question about feelings -looks down to the accessing feelings side to try to answer -his eyes are pulled over to the side which is usually “listening to an internal voice” and in his case probably “voices” not his own life who are warning and confusing him. But beyond that yes his eyes fly around. It’s known that as the eyes are essentially part of the brain, the movements are indicative of internal brain processes in one or another way. Based on that it seems he has too many possibly conflicting responses to the questions making it impossible to have a helpful discussion with him while keeping this authoritarian PSYCHIATRIST vs patient mode which only increases anxiety and confuses responses. I talk to schizophrenics daily and the ones who are similar to him in the degree of disorganization are actually fully able to hold a conversation. IF you start with honesty and total acceptance (spoken or not it is communicated) of the person. Doesn’t need to be total acceptance of the delusions or hallucinations but totally accepting the person as they are. Countless times I’ve seen people who speak in a meaningless “word salad” switch to “Hey Drew how’s it going?” and having a reasonably coherent conversation. If accepted they will share their delusions with you and you will understand their inner landscape better than Mr PSYCHIATRIST PhD does. The frustration is that you CAN debate with a schizophrenic that a delusion isn’t true and they will want to or try to agree with you but then the voices start telling them if they deny the delusions any manner of horrible things will happen. Oh also as a PSA I want people to KNOW: IF A SCHIZOPHRENIC IS YELLING ANGRILY 99% OF THE TIME IT IS ZERO DANGER TO YOU. IT MAY SOUND SCARY BUT THEY ARE YELLING AT THEIR VOICES SO ANY VIOLENT STATEMENTS ARE ANGER AT DISEMBODIED VOICES NOT AT YOU. YOU CAN WALK BY THEM, AVOID EYE CONTACT BECAUSE LIKE ALL PEOPLE THIS IS SEEN AS AN OPENING FOR SOCIAL INTERACTION WHICH MAY UNINTENTIONALLY SCARE YOU. So yeah main point there: they are yelling at voices it does not mean they are violent or at all interested in you
@@drew6524 As a schizophrenic, i can agree with everything written here. But don't pay attention and listen to the person experiencing it. It's a great idea to literally basically just be like "So you're here cause you fucked a tree, beat a bush, and then said 'god is real but he doesn't care"... PHD Man: How does this make you fEeL
@@drew6524 The video shows the exact opposite. Literally the first question is "how are you feeling?" And he doesn't look down, in fact his eyes don't move at all.
@@drew6524 this man was on drugs. Like most of the other people in this clinic. They did not understand a Thing of this people. Maybe people were really Bad to him. So He is a normal guy which saw awful things you cant imagine. The World with this System, rules and stories are aweful.
In my opinion this man was too good for this world. He was sent here how to test in the past test s I wish I could just have a 5 to 10 minute conversation with this guy.
In my personal experience, those with mental illnesses are some of the most considerate and caring people I've ever met. (I have a few mental illnesses myself and I'd never say I'm the most considerate person, but hopefully you understand my point...) Personally, I believe people are diagnosed with 'mental illnesses' based on the fact that they don't assimilate/'fit in' with modern society. However, modern society teaches to focus on 'yourself' and 'putting/loving yourself' first. In my opinion, putting others first is the only way to true happiness, so it's no wonder why so many people are considered "mentally ill".
@@AngSH2024 Thanks for pitching in, it's interesting to hear the perspective of someone actively suffering from BPD. That truly sounds horrible and I hope that with the increase in mental health support these days that life can become less of a prison sentence for you somehow, stay safe and strong. No matter how bad it may feel remember you're insanely strong for sticking up with everything you're going through, majority of people out there would never be able to continue fighting and living everyday like you. Lots of respect mate.
That's about like what happened to me. Some judge you, some don't and the judges keep you from obtaining your dreams if it's not the financial problems themselves.
this guy speaks so effienctly, gets his point across immediatly with what seems like great intellect, this guy take thinking before you speak to the next level
Or he’s schizophrenic and his inner voice is talking to him. Tbh Idk if thats true or verifiable, but from what I know, schizophrenic people constantly have an inner voice who talks to them and tell them what to do. If im wrong please correct me
Maybe you are! You just don't think you are. Do you sit differently in front of a piano? Does your father deny you financial support for piano lessons? Do you dress like Mr. Rodgers?
He is suffering so much. He is a prisoner of his own malady. He just wants to be free and happy. Poor man. Tying to keep it together. Always identified as a mental hospital patient instead of just a relaxed and joyous soul.
This is just one of the reasons so many were shut down completely. Awful. Especially husband's admitting women for pms. masturbation, affairs, embarrassing them..if you research true documentation of why women mostly were admitted.. crap. So many think women have it hard in 2021.
I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. Living with it is so hard. I feel so bad for this man because he looks like he goes through a lot every day. Hearing voices and seeing people/figures every day is painful because you don’t know what’s real and what’s not. I wish him the best.
@●●●●●5 Apparently not always "bad" voices, and not always only 1. There was an artist on tiktok who managed to animate & voice his voices, was really interesting but I can't find it now ): They all had different personalities - e.g one might have been depressive, another was a bit of a joker ("he" was a bit scary, but apparently once you "understood" him he was sort of innocent with a bit of dark humour) Sure it affects everybody differently though, especially when you consider all the different factors that can influence severity, experience, etc (eg medications, lifestyle, genetics etc)
O que me deixou admirada foi o fato de que, na situação em que se encontra, o paciente consegue ter uma linha de raciocínio e uma forma de se expressar muito boa.
Месяц назад
It's almost like he's not mentally ill, but instead, living in a world where what he does is not acceptable behaviour.

Ack That’s not what he said, he said just because he has family that’s LGBTI doesn’t mean he is gay, so you need the rest of his comment translated or do you understand the rest?
Can someone please tell me more about this condition i search it anywhere but i can't get to understand it and sadly we don't take anything about mental disorders on maths and phy schools so if someone can plz help i will be so thanksfull
“People dislike me”… then later “my dad dislikes me” …”people that dislike me will find a worse place for me” read between the lines. This man was incredible to watch try to get through his thought process and avoid his mind stressing him
One of the most common personalities a schizophrenic can have is a paranoid one where they feel as if everyone is against/after them. You can see he tries to find a reason his family/psychiatrist are seeking help for him and his reasoning is his piano playing. Yet he’s never played a piano a day in his life. This video is used as educational purposes at alot of universities. This is around the same time the government finally started realizing mental health was a real thing and people weren’t just crazy. Even starting a division in the fbi to find serial killers and use psychiatrists to help find out there reasoning of why they do it and there patterns. As you can see this interviewer isn’t judging him(like most would in the past) but truly trying to understand him. Fascinating early development here.
The video where he shoots the kids is awful. Bet you won't feel so sorry when you see the recording of him blast ing three of his neighbors children and walk away while they bleed to death
Our son lost his battle with schizophrenia in 2015. The voices were always negative but, through his immense suffering, he remained a very gentle, kindly soul totally empathetic for people and animals. I love you son and am sorry for this terrible affliction.
I Am So Sorry.

What blows my mind is that these two men could never have imagined that their brief conversation in this small room would be seen by 22 million people 61 years later.

No he knew. And he kept trying to tell the interviewer that there was 22 million people lying on their sides watching him through glass orbs powered by burning coal. Then the interviewer gave him more lithium and he forgot all about it

This is an old comment about this man that seems to have been lost: This man was my uncle. I'm not going to give any names, but for those of you who are concerned with how things turned out for him, not well. There's so much to address here. First let me say that he was being treated in this video with meds. Without the medication his mood ranged from complete delusion to catatonic. As for being gay, I don't think he had much of a sex drive at all. With or without meds. As for the idea that he was put here because he was gay by some unloving family, that's ridiculous. I don't have time to say all the things my family tried just to make his existence somewhat peaceful just for his own sake. My family had a couple of openly homosexual and lesbians in it even back in the sixties and with the exception of my mother's father no one gave a shit. My uncle suffered with meds and even more without. After forty some odd years, most of which he spent in institutions, he took his own life by way of drug overdose. By the way, the comment about the plot twist, he never had a piano was funny because he didn't. His seeming obsession with piano came and went as did obsessions with religion, especially the Catholic Church and government. As far as I know he couldn't play a lick. He was very ill at his best and a living shell at his worst. I hope that answers some questions because that's all I have to say on the matter. He's been gone since the late eighties and I really hope that other members of my family don't see this video, mostly because of the comments from people that somehow think they understand him better than the people who suffered with him. One last thing, I think people thought that he was talking about sitting or standing effeminately or something. No, he was talking about sitting or standing motionless for hours. Usually not even his facial expression would change but when it did it was usually related to something in his mind only. I really can't begin to tell you all how heartbreaking the whole thing was. He did seem intelligent and with meds he did remind me of a high functioning guy with autism I once met.
Thank you for reviving that comment!
Sad ig
It is heartbreaking to see him go through this. Thank you for explaining, it could not have been easy.
Thank you Tom. From the start of the video I instantly was concerned for his welfare. Your contribution here is very much appreciated.
Thank you for your comment and setting the record straight for those who assumed on his part without knowing the real story..RIP to your uncle.
As a schizophrenic myself, I feel very deeply for this individual. It's sad that sometimes people just have brain chemistry that goes out of whack. I take eight different medications, but it's MOSTLY controlled. I am lucky that I was born in this time and not when the gentleman in the video was born we have more and better antipsychotic medications which let me lead a mostly normal life. There are breakthrough episodes, false perceptions and delusions still, but the majority of the time I feel pretty good.
Keep going
Hope you're doing okay 🤍

There is nothing observant or eloquent about this man.
@@cchapman7101 First of all, we don't know "absolutely zero about this man". We knew zero before we watched this video and learned some things about him. Also, he clearly displayed most of those characteristics definitively. He may also be honest, just seemingly not so, given his delusional misperception of reality. What are you talking about? Do you even know what eloquent means? He's most certainly eloquent.
At least he thinks before he speaks unlike most people nowadays.
Exactly! The guy formulated his thoughts with great articulation. It's sad, honestly - he's almost too well-put for the world we live in.
He was thinking of his answers he was trying to shut the voices off hes hearing before he answers cuz schizophrenics feel like their thought process is voiced arguing in their head telling him "hes stupid and dont answer him and dont trust him he doesn't like you that's a stupid answer dont say that"its always negative and poor self esteem he has delusions probably hallucinations watch his eyes.He is completely not intuned to this world,his frequencys way off.He barely understands why hes there.How can someone watch this and say hes smart,thoughtful,ect. I mean he only wants to play the piano for the peoples.Hes creepy but completely harmless.super paranoid.so sad
the pause denotes "catatonic schizophrenic"... it may also be that he is being queued when to respond? either way he seems to be a genuinely tortured soul.

he is called catatonic because he doesnt initiate conversation or even movement. he has to be forced basically or pushed by a doctor to even speak.

I feel a deep sadness for this man. Fully believing that everyone hates you, including your father, based on your very existence. Breaks my heart.
Paul Brinkerhoff
There’s no point. Feeling bad for him is masturbatory. If he was still alive, your sympathy still couldn’t improve his situation. Feeling bad for him still wouldn’t make you want to spend time with him.
I grew up with a close family member with schizophrenia. Learning that nothing you do can possibly change them, that you can never fix them.. It’s taken my entire life to accept.
I’ve dealt with guilt for a long time over distancing myself. But, I promise you, they are a wood chipper that you could feed your heart to, and it wouldn’t change anything.
Paul Brinkerhoff fact
If only he sat normally
Don’t be foolled, schizophrenic people want you to feel empathy for them
He's not actually mentally ill, hes acting
This guy is sweeter and more normal than many of the people in our world today.
Look at his rapid eye movement. One can only wonder what is going on in his head. He seems very intelligent though.
I can imagine the inner monologue is really intense, but he's learned to choose his words very wisely.

I felt that
For anyone who hasn't seen this already, here's a quote from someone who may be this dudes nephew or niece:
"This man was my uncle. I’m not going to give any names, but for those of you who are concerned with how things turned out for him, not well. There’s so much to address here. First let me say that he was being treated in this video with meds. Without the medication his mood ranged from complete delusion to catatonic.
As for being gay, I don’t think he had much of a sex drive at all. With or without meds. As for the idea that he was put here because he was gay by some unloving family, that’s ridiculous. I don’t have time to say all the things my family tried just to make his existence somewhat peaceful just for his own sake. My family had a couple of openly homosexual and lesbians in it even back in the sixties and with the exception of my mother’s father no one gave a shit.
My uncle suffered with meds and even more without. After forty some odd years, most of which he spent in institutions, he took his own life by way of drug overdose. By the way, the comment about the plot twist, he never had a piano was funny because he didn’t. His seeming obsession with piano came and went as did obsessions with religion, especially the Catholic Church and government. As far as I know he couldn’t play a lick.
He was very ill at his best and a living shell at his worst. I hope that answers some questions because that’s all I have to say on the matter. He’s been gone since the late eighties and I really hope that other members of my family don’t see this video, mostly because of the comments from people that somehow think they understand him better than the people who suffered with him.
One last thing, I think people thought that he was talking about sitting or standing effeminately or something. No, he was talking about sitting or standing motionless for hours. Usually not even his facial expression would change but when it did it was usually related to something in his mind only. I really can’t begin to tell you all how heartbreaking the whole thing was. He did seem intelligent and with meds he did remind me of a high functioning guy with autism I once met."
I mean i dont blame the guy for the response he gave. It was a pretty clear answer.

If you have an anxiety problem then you can get traumatized very easily. If your amygdala is malfunctioning, or overreactive, you're going to be very anxious and insecure. You'll have a very difficult time relating to other people because you're so confused on how to do it. Do they hate me for who I am? Did I do something wrong? You're overwhelmed by paranoia and distrust, constantly fighting ghosts in your mind, and also resenting the fact that you have to deal with others in your life. In addition to that, you can get delusional and think you're more than you are while at the same time thinking others have prevented you from doing your best. It's you against the world and the world against you. You've developed the biggest ego but have the smallest self-esteem. Going from one extreme to the other is what drives you crazy and paralyzes your life. There are so many issues going on you don't know what the fuck to do. Sadly, I'm talking from experience.
He dosent look traumatized or nervous or fearful at all hes kinda got some what of a smile im sure he was happy n just fine..
It’s as if he’s waiting for someone to tell him the answer he’s supposed give. Like he’s receiving instead of formulating.

Yeah it's weird! Also the doctor is obviously not a professional. Just a amateur actor! The doctor wasn't understanding what he meant by the paino sitting thing. What an idiot. He was just making the patient confused and uncomfortable!!
@@TheChrislewis1989 what does he mean then??
Can be the result of being raised in a strict and/or abusive home. You learn to be careful what you say so you do not say anything “wrong”.
just to address some of the stuff in this misinformed comments section: first, you cannot empathize with him. the way he experiences the world is completely distinct from your powers of empathy. there is not necessarily any chain of causality leading to behavior in schizophrenic patients, and empathy is primarily a function of the intuition of causality based on one's own experiences. one of the hallmarks of this illness is a complete disintegration of action/words/symbols from any deducible causality. you can't assume that when a schizophrenic takes time to answer that he's "waiting for someone to tell him the answer," because that is what YOU would do, and you are not likely to be schizophrenic. even if you WERE schizophrenic, there is no real commonality between the internal logic of any two schizophrenics. schizophrenia is in a large way the complete absence of deducible logic. it is anti-logic itself, and there will be no two commonalities in logical structures between any two schizophrenics.
second, the doctor is not "weird" or "unprofessional." he is engaging in the patient's own dialectic style. for the record, the doctor here knows more about this patient than he is letting on. also for the record, the "way he stands" or sits at the piano according to the patient is completely distinct from observable reality. he would exhibit waxy flexibility for hours on end, sitting at the piano blankly or standing, all completely without moving at all. this is why he is at the hospital, and the interviewer knows this. the purpose of this interview is not to gather information. indeed, getting information from him is obviously almost completely unreliable viz. reality. the purpose is to gain insight into the WAY he experiences his own reality. it is the mechanism of thought he's trying to establish. it is not important AT ALL for the purposes of this interview to try to correct the patient's perceptions, because it's the perceptions themselves in that crystallized manner which are important.
before you call anyone an idiot, make sure your own ducks are in a row, and make sure you're in your own lane. if anyone wants to actually learn more about schizophrenia in a way less sterile than scientific psychology, i would recommend the following books:
madness and modernism, by sass
capitalism and schizophrenia, by deleuze and guattari
Notice his eyes darting back and forth. He has so much trouble focusing on the man or anything else. He seems so terrified and stuck. God bless him.

This person talks so clearly, with conviction, choosing words and sentences to phrase them meaningfully that it's almost poetic, despite his illness.
"As soon as I express the belief that I do not belong in this hospital, which is a mental hospital, then those who dislike me want to find a worse place for me."
That's so sad.
He saw him self as a normal person, he doesn't understand what is wrong with him so he would never recognize he is ill. I also bet that the care takers in that hospital could have been cruel to him, to the point of threatening him to take him to a worst hospital.
and what’s fucked is that’s really how it works. I’ve been in and out of institutions, the more you try to say you’re fine or “normal” the more they push onto you, and the worse they treat you for being resistant.

His mental state can de radicalized by leftis ideology at a whim, because of his intelligence of reasoning and rasholiizing what is not right... Anyone can become confused of this.... the best thing for him is to stay institutionalize and away from a vigorous society that can aid him in murdering ppl... . He dose not know he is sick. ..

I guess I just want somewhere to share my story.
When I was 19 I took shrooms, and it was like I was turned inside out. As a child, I was very extroverted and loved being around people. And after the shrooms, I felt disconnected from everyone and everything around me. I just wanted to alone. I am learning to feel happiness from within myself, not running from myself. It's been a LONG and PAINFUL process but once it's healed, it's healed and beautiful.
0:09 one time i did shrooms (my first n only time but i had done acid before)
and i started to notice how badly my friends treated me and i saw how we interracted with each other more clearly, and it really opened my eyes.
I can relate to that. It definitely was the beginning of the end for me too. But the ending of something less real, so I'm ok with it. Just took a lot of adjusting and I can't bring others with me like I tried to at first. 0:03
0:08 I've been looking to get my hands on shrooms since growing isn't an option for me . Any one knows where I can source?

What beautiful and correct English speech. It is obvious that this guy is from a good and intelligent family. A sensitive, deep person, with a rich inner world. Truly, illness does not choose its victims.
Looks like he's scared any answer he will give results in more "treatment"
Justin Flynn Which is why people like Michael Foucault were right, so so many people with mental issues fundamentally have most of their issues rooted in the way society treats them, not for why they are.
He’s consulting the voices in his head for the answers. My fiancé is schizophrenic. She’s mild enough she knows the voices are a messed up version of her own thoughts and not other beings. Some people suffer so deeply they cannot tell the difference and will listen to the voices and do as they say. She says when she disagrees with the voices they get mean to her and resentful of her. She knows it’s not real and just ignores it or sleeps a lot when it gets bad. We’re in our late 30s and during her life she’s found a medication combination that works very well for her. He probably has had the voices be mean and resentful towards him at a much more intense level and listens to them and is consulting them for his responses because he trusts and/or fears them. My fiancé says that when they get mean they belittle you and since it’s your own mind they know all your worst secrets and shortcomings and what really bothers you about yourself. But it’s not a they or a them. It’s you. It’s you doing it in your mind to yourself. Many schizophrenic people believe the voices and loose trust in others. The voices can convince them that everyone is an enemy. Some act out on it in very violent ways or take their own life.
In all actuality he is probably being coached by a voice telling him that they’re against him and that he should be scared that his answers will result in more treatment.

Man this is soo sad. Hes self aware that hes different from a lot of people whose considered or deemed normal
He seems aware that others think he is different from them, but also seems not to know how he is different from others. I can understand that.
He is COMPLETELY self-aware and very articulate! I don't consider him mentally ill. I think of him as talented and incredibly shy and fearful because he has been abused by others who have pigeon-holed him into a status that is somehow below "themselves." Pisses me off!

Remember, you see a psychopath every day outside, they are succesful psychopath that are more smart than the unsuccessful psychopath who can't stop their actions and emotions
He's actually probably struggling to answer coherently. One of schizophrenia's features is a disorganized type of speech, so often times they simply say random things ('word salad') or repeat what they hear (echolalia). Notice how he latches on to certain words the interviewer asks him, saying them multiple times throughout his answers- he's latching on to what pieces of reality he can. It's a sad condition, given the oft-misunderstood (and even scary!) appearance it creates, without any choice on the part of the patient.
@@rymac77 yes cause there brain is going very fast for this shitty world.does this means his crazy or damaged brain???we are just so stupid,cruel and crazy to understand and this doesnt fit in our fake rules society...and those persons know it.............................the only one should be on jail are the fucking doctors and the system,our fake ethics,forgiveness and we all...
I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with schizophrenia. Spent my whole life fighting schizophrenia. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I'm so very happy for you, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Germany don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms. My daughter did straight shrooms in few days. Made her whole! after words, no more addictions, pains, ptsd and depression. It helped us.
Am I the only one that wants to hear this guy play the piano
Patrick Ennis Artist nope. I do too
No, Sir. I would have liked to have been previliged to have heard him play to his heart's content as well. Unfortunately the poor fellow has regretfully passed away many years ago leaving me wondering what his issues were in regard to the piano. I guess we shall never know now that he is no longer amongst the living. Perhaps his offspring if he did have any could enlighten the RUclips forum of any tidbit of information, which may shed light on this most intriguing of fellows. May he rest in peace and be forever remembered for being The Piano Guy without his instrument.🙄
Lol- I’m dying. Because, I do too.
I do
@@jhsemoxitha3821 no you're not. I do too.
He seems so uncomfortable until the moments he has a chance to talk about playing or teaching piano, there's the tiniest bit of happiness on his face.
Did they let him play music or dislike him and keep im locked up? I would love to listen.

He is more than likely dead. This was 58 years ago.😔
u do realize he cudda commited a violent crime/s
jane he has probably had an lobotomy and electric shock treatment he’s either dead or in a vegetable state sadly 💔
Matthew Storer yes after they experimented on him 💔
Ghoul The same can be said of anybody, I don’t believe people with schizophrenia are more likely to commit violent crime than anyone else
I loved it when the interviewer asked if he could make a certain point clearer and he answered simply “no”. 😂
Yeah like I was thinking man he is being pretty clear so when he said no I thought it was great
Before he answered no, I had a feeling that he was gonna say it! 😄
Scott Jackson I really want someone to ask me if I could clarify something just to give that same answer 🤣😂
Annie Greenwind I had the same thought as well just before he said it lol
but then he proceeded to explain
My heart breaks for this man. He looks like he’s really struggling to hold it together and form a thought. I hope this man found peace.
probably the meds
There is another comment saying that he took his own life by an overdose.
In Russia, there are also such educational videos with "unhealthy" people from the Soviet times, they get 2-15 thousand comments there. People in great numbers admire how well those talking and expressing thoughts.
There is the same video, exactly with the same name of the diagnosis. But there the man is completely silent.
ruclips.net/video/Cwqak5NqpQ4/видео.html
Yeah this interview was probably close to some of the best empathy he had its very hard to fix the wounds of childhood, which I think is what needs to happen for someone like him to start again
Two years ago I made the biggest mistake laughing at this man calling him names. I feel terrible because after watching this for the second time I realized that no one is perfect and we all have our own special talents. When the man speaks he sounds like a very intelligent person!
He's medicated. He had severe schizophrenia
everyone makes mistakes man. you learned and even apologized.
jesus loves you
It shows you have compassion and self reflection. That’s all you need to grow ❤and become a better human being. You matured 😊
I had to laugh when the doctor said "I don't understand, could you make that clearer for me?". (long pause). Answer: "No". Love the honesty.
I chuckled too. That's when some of us find the humor when it was accidentally presented. Lol. Bless his heart. It's almost like when your child says they don't like your haircut or you're fat or something. Lol.
@Isabela McK It didn't seem that way to me because a few moments later he thought of a way to explain it a little clearer. The whole situation is sad though. 😢
adding that there is a similarity of Autism/ Spectrum with these responses! nowadays, we have progressed. I hope.
I understood what he meant
I almost laughed, but the pause as with every other answer made me realize that mind of his was swarming and searching for ways to answer and he either found something he thought to be displeasing or legitimately couldn’t find a way to explain. Either way, the time he takes to think before answering is beautiful and sad at the same time.
I'm starting to feel terrified by RUclips's recommendations.
I know.
Hmm..what a rabbit hole to stumble upon.
Right
Hahahahaha
I know, right? There's something to your suggestion.
“How do you know they dislike you?”
“My father does”
That’s deep bruh
Rashid Safi sad too
There's no way to know how his father feels. He's a paranoid Schizophrenic, you can't trust any of his perceptions to be accurate.
Hurts I’m so relate
Well you can get schizophrenia through a trauma so it might be possible
Rashid Safi absolutely heartbreaking.
It’s like his eyes movements are representative of the voices he’s hearing in every corner of his mind.
And the pauses, representative of, which thought has the most influence to manifest into words over the competition.
I wish we could hear his thoughts during this interview
Meiji - it would probably be transmitted as scribbles
I can perfectly fine.. lemme stop before they find a reason to shove me in a hospital like him
he's thinking, "I wonder if his subcutaneous fat tastes like his incessant questions"
his thoughts they would say how stupid and crazy we all really are...
There is actually a way for this, I read that schizophrenic people's voices cause a faint vibration in the voice box which is louder inside the head but others can't hear.
I feel extremly sorry for him. He comes over as afraid, scared, confused and yet trying his best not to loose control.
or as if he's trying not to say the wrong thing...
Lose*
Mental illness is sad....and kinda creepy. I hope the Lord broke the chains that bound him , whatever they were giving him didn't seem to help.
It must take an extreme amount of diligence and energy
Yeah try to live with one and tell me you feel sorry after that! My great aunt shits and pisses on my carpet to get attention🤢🤮 thank god her kids are stepping up finally!
He sounds so frustrated with the fact that people see him differently. He doesn't know what's wrong and people treat him differently. Sounds like a fucking nightmare.
My life summed up
The thing is alot of people go threw this all the time no need for racism when we already picked on each other for much less
It is indeed a nightmare. Such a shame how in principle noone looks at him differently, but becuase he thinks people do, people will ACTUALLY look at him differently. And then we are out here complaining when our train is delayed -_-
@@mrtree1368 come out of the closet. We are here for you
@Jj how are you gonna tell me what is and isn’t wrong with me you don’t know shit about me or my life so stfu cause you don’t know me at all
He’s extremely intelligent and sweet. It’s sad he had to deal with these judgemental people who avoided him. It’s not like he’s dangerous? Just be more compassionate. These people just need understanding, support and help.
Why didn’t the doctor just get him a damn piano so we could all see how he sits at the piano.
@notfiveo how do you know when the doctor didn’t give that man a piano to play lol
lol!
Hahahaha that’s good!
just let him play
hahahahah
He makes a hell of a lot more sense, has a better attitude and behaves significantly better than 90% of the people I work with.
Maybe you should join him.
jt rover yeah but bet u dont want him serving burgers alongside u!
jt rover *flashes gang signs* yeye
Hey buddy..I work at Walmart too..
Lmao I was reminded of some of my co-workers also 😅😅😅
Wow my heart absolutely breaks for him. I wonder what happened to him. Imagine the emotional pain he’s in and how afraid and vulnerable. Disgusting the comments on here, rethink what you said when your going through a depressive episode.
Completely agreed
I can explain what happened to him very vividly. These people although it might be their job to interview they don’t understand the mind and how it works. I can translate everything this man is saying. There’s something extremely huge going on behind the scenes.
A set of people are suppressing a lot of his mind’s capabilities. Doping him up then labeling it as mental illness.
Janna T this just says the people who wanted him to stop what ever he was doing won. He was perfectly sane until they medicated him.
He was trying to master his subconscious mind
He reminds of Meursault, from Camus' "The Stranger": the extremely clear and succint phrasing, the deliberate manner of speech, the apparent complete divorce from any and all emotion, save for the occasional apparent confusion...
This really shows why psychology and its studies were at a point called the "alien" sciences.
This is so sad to watch, he's so traumatised... imagine a life where you need to defend every moment of it.
Don't have to live it everyday
He's not traumatised you dolt, his affectations are symptomatic of his illness.
@@dr.lexwinter8604 You don’t think it’s possible for him to become traumatized by his illness or a particular event triggered by his illness? Not to mention the fact that he’s obviously institutionalized, places that have been previously notorious for treating their patients well. Are you an actual doctor?
yep, especially while heavily medicated and probed.
@@dr.lexwinter8604 Seriously, do these people not realize that there is literally something wrong with his brain? That's not a judgement against him but it's like saying that someone who is walking with a limp due to a broken leg that they've obviously been traumatized. It's insulting to the patient and their families. They don't need random internet people making up reasons why they're ill. They need the illness to be acknowledged and treated.
“Im not completely like other people” this breaks my heart.
I’m sorry this is not funny and I don’t have really any mental issues but when he said that I said,” me🥲”
Cause you're a woman
@@Solid_Snake99 boom roasted
Im not too. And you all too. All people are different. Where is the sad point now??
Why its a blessing to be differant.
"They laughed at me because i was differant, i laughed at them because theyre all the same"
"As soon as I express the belief that I do not belong in this hospital, which is a mental hospital, then, those who dislike me want to find a worse place for me."
Honestly one of the saddest lines in this video. Although I cannot blame the hospital for doing what it's meant to do, it's still such a shame and makes you wish that there was a cure for this disorder. He's not only locked inside his own head, but he also doesn't get the same freedoms as every other person his age. Terrible disorder.
It’s terrifying for him I’m sure, he’s scared to say anything wrong that could put him in more worse therapy . He seems to process his thoughts or might have voices in his head. Someone also said he could have been misdiagnosed & could possibly have had Aspergers which I believe could be true but I heard a person would know they have Aspergers . then again I’m no expert. But
There is a way to treat him, it's called fecal microbiota transfer. It modulates the immune system which in turn reduces grey matter loss. A lot of diseases stem from basic, uncontrolled inflammation.
I’m not a psychiatrist (but by modern standards, neither were the people practicing psychiatry back then either) but I wonder if he’s not autistic (and a piano savant?). He definitely has the feeling that people think he acts very different than others do and that he’s not relating to others, and I wonder if his stilted, staccato speech isn’t because he’s just been drugged out of his mind.
But in any case, at least actual schizophrenia has treatments. I wish autism did too.
@@HalfShelli idk, i think in the future, autism is more like a trait than a disability. People will eventually know how to work it around. I mean, autistic way of thinking can be...unique.
There isnt really cure but the world has come a long way in treatment, schizophrenia is treatable and many can live a long healthy life, there are a lot of interesting people to follow who deal with the disorder and teach about it, breaking up the stigma, fun fact too 1 in 100 people will be diagnosed with schizophrenia in their lifetime.
Psychiatrists were notoriously great people back in the day. All their methods and diagnosis turned out to be spot on 👌
It was the golden age of the Us
Least this guy thinks before he speaks. Wish more people did that.
Mystic Mac I know right makes you wonder who is really the psychotic one
Michael Reed exactly! Irks me the way the interviewer carried himself.
He’s listening to the voices in his head.
Michael Reed um no it doesn't. Stop being pretentious
Mystic Mac I agree
I really like the way he talks. He is very precise in his speech.
same would love to speak at this level
sheldon regards
martin ratcliffe .... He clearly was/is quite smart and thoughtful with his precise answers and his careful structure of sentences. He was clearly well educated at some point. He sounds like he should be a English lit. Professor or something. Such a shame that mental health help in those years wasn't what get thing it is now. If he was that age now . He'd have his piano teaching job down pat and living life to his fullest and on medication to keep his mental stasis balanced. Like I am. I have some problems if I lived in this time I'd probably be in one of these videos myself. Sad!! Very sad!!!
I imagine it's because he's dialoguing with himself witch way is the better one, obsessively, ot is that another type of crazynes?
U can actually see his thought process in his eyes its pretty cool.

@@thejoker0093 lol
Yeah there are at least a few studies which seem to demonstrate a relationship between schizophrenia and eye gazing patterns so yeah, cool observation :)!
Not sure I understand, could you make that clearer for me ?
@@valcheprod.7326 there seems to be a relationship between gazing patterns/movements during abstract thinking in people with schizophrenia (Oh J, et al. Behav Brain Funct, 2014)
Notice the way he pauses before he speaks , almost like he is waiting for the voices to finish telling him what to say , my theory though . Crazy.
Wenn man etwas darauf achtet, ja könnte man annehmen dass er auf seine innere Stimme wartet bis er antwortet.
Ich glaube eher, dass er mit dieser Situation in der er sich befindet völlig überfordert zu sein scheint.
Er ist ja seit 3 Monaten schon in dieser Klinik,und ich möchte nicht wissen mit welcher Art Medikamente die den armen Kerl ruhig gestellt haben.
Ich glaube zu dieser Zeit waren wenig Symptome oder Krankheitsverlauf von Schizophrenie bekannt.
Ich nehme stark an das er für die! Nur ein Spinner und Querläufer war.
"people dislike me because I'm not completely like them" i just wanna give him a hug
you can find many people like him around you
Uh no you don’t
Yes his illness most likely caused him to believe this
@@gw437 How were those people to him without such people around? There's normally more to the perfect scenario, then what people lead on.
It might be your last hug.
He is incredibly well-spoken. You've gotta admire the vocabulary and grammar.
When hes on meds being recorded hell yeah hes gonna be good
And his honesty!
He seems slow, like he has to be careful about what he says and how he says it. Doesn't strike me as intelligent, he does have mannerism though.
@@PedalPoopers I don't think it's possible to judge his intellect one way or another from 10 minutes of film shot in an institution of a man already of atypical mind + likely under the influence of the psych meds they had to work with 60 years ago. Even a person we might not presume has much of an internal baseline "normal" can feel distorted on them - it's partly why severely mentally ill people can't stay compliant and on meds outside an institution.
I'm not sure where you're getting that from. I didn't hear him utter one complex erudite word. but nonetheless he is well-spoken. I have a feeling he's high IQ.
His eye movements are fascinating, almost continually moving, showing the battle between his thinking and the expression of his thoughts.
In NLP (which I have recorded in my clinical work as a behaviour analyst to be correct in about 75% of people) it seems to almost always follow this pattern:
-question about feelings
-looks down to the accessing feelings side to try to answer
-his eyes are pulled over to the side which is usually “listening to an internal voice” and in his case probably “voices” not his own life who are warning and confusing him. But beyond that yes his eyes fly around. It’s known that as the eyes are essentially part of the brain, the movements are indicative of internal brain processes in one or another way.
Based on that it seems he has too many possibly conflicting responses to the questions making it impossible to have a helpful discussion with him while keeping this authoritarian PSYCHIATRIST vs patient mode which only increases anxiety and confuses responses.
I talk to schizophrenics daily and the ones who are similar to him in the degree of disorganization are actually fully able to hold a conversation. IF you start with honesty and total acceptance (spoken or not it is communicated) of the person. Doesn’t need to be total acceptance of the delusions or hallucinations but totally accepting the person as they are.
Countless times I’ve seen people who speak in a meaningless “word salad” switch to “Hey Drew how’s it going?” and having a reasonably coherent conversation. If accepted they will share their delusions with you and you will understand their inner landscape better than Mr PSYCHIATRIST PhD does.
The frustration is that you CAN debate with a schizophrenic that a delusion isn’t true and they will want to or try to agree with you but then the voices start telling them if they deny the delusions any manner of horrible things will happen.
Oh also as a PSA I want people to KNOW:
IF A SCHIZOPHRENIC IS YELLING ANGRILY 99% OF THE TIME IT IS ZERO DANGER TO YOU. IT MAY SOUND SCARY BUT THEY ARE YELLING AT THEIR VOICES SO ANY VIOLENT STATEMENTS ARE ANGER AT DISEMBODIED VOICES NOT AT YOU. YOU CAN WALK BY THEM, AVOID EYE CONTACT BECAUSE LIKE ALL PEOPLE THIS IS SEEN AS AN OPENING FOR SOCIAL INTERACTION WHICH MAY UNINTENTIONALLY SCARE YOU.
So yeah main point there: they are yelling at voices it does not mean they are violent or at all interested in you
@@drew6524 As a schizophrenic, i can agree with everything written here. But don't pay attention and listen to the person experiencing it. It's a great idea to literally basically just be like "So you're here cause you fucked a tree, beat a bush, and then said 'god is real but he doesn't care"...

I wish I could have time with him, too. I'd do everything I could to lift him. What a gentle and polite human being. Schizophrenia is so cruel.
He is more polite than most of the world today.
In my personal experience, those with mental illnesses are some of the most considerate and caring people I've ever met. (I have a few mental illnesses myself and I'd never say I'm the most considerate person, but hopefully you understand my point...) Personally, I believe people are diagnosed with 'mental illnesses' based on the fact that they don't assimilate/'fit in' with modern society. However, modern society teaches to focus on 'yourself' and 'putting/loving yourself' first. In my opinion, putting others first is the only way to true happiness, so it's no wonder why so many people are considered "mentally ill".

One of the most common personalities a schizophrenic can have is a paranoid one where they feel as if everyone is against/after them. You can see he tries to find a reason his family/psychiatrist are seeking help for him and his reasoning is his piano playing. Yet he’s never played a piano a day in his life. This video is used as educational purposes at alot of universities. This is around the same time the government finally started realizing mental health was a real thing and people weren’t just crazy. Even starting a division in the fbi to find serial killers and use psychiatrists to help find out there reasoning of why they do it and there patterns. As you can see this interviewer isn’t judging him(like most would in the past) but truly trying to understand him. Fascinating early development here.
schizophrenia is known for breaking up families because the patient thinks that others said something or did something they didn't.
