Thank you for showing the world, 4 years now since 19 now 23 and thanks to new medication thriving! Never give up!
That's cool that you found something that helps you. I was just put on my first antipsychotic a week ago, so hopefully it works
@@SoraByers dont worry just dont stop taking them and if doesnt work ask your doctor for a change and if he is incompetent (there are some) ask a for a second opinion. If you give your 100 % in life and never try to take your life or do drugs or stop taking your med you'll be as you used to in no time! Hugs from Spain!
I always love to read positive comments! Share the good stories! 💪🏻
@@AlbertoOrduna I definitely plan on not stopping them. And if it doesn't work my early psychosis intervention team will try to find something that works for me. Thanks for the encouragement!
What kind of medication u on?
“Your imaginary friend isn’t real!”
Ma’am, it’s called imaginary for a reason.
Yes you right
woosh
@@oceanias now has a imaginary reply
better to have an imaginary friend than an imaginary enemy
Well, it became real.
90% of your hypochondriac viewers now believe they have schizophrenia
yep
I taste things that aren’t there. Where are my bananas
Yea
Fr IMAO
To be fair auditory hallucinations are pretty commen
Most people with schizophrenia don’t see thing, they hear things. Also people with schizophrenia know (most of the time) that they aren’t real, that’s why suicide is so common; they feel crazy.
@@GoodFella21100 they aren't wrong and neither are you. many people developing schizophrenia know it isn't normal (depending on the severity) but then there are others who believe it is normal and they become lost in themselves. maybe you shouldn't say things you don't know.
They may know its not real but it feels so real and even convinces me sometimes, also most of my halucinations are infact auditory I also have visual halucinations with the ocasional sensory ones
;-; ⓞⓗ ⓑⓞⓨ...
new comment I heard somewhere that teenagers and young adults with schizophrenia are more likely to have visual hallucinations, although they will often have auditory hallucinations alongside them.
I think thats true after they've received their diagnosis, because they are able to more easily spot the symptoms. Before being diagnosed I think they may think it's normal or be unaware that they are hallucinating.
My momma was schizophrenic. She killed herself a week ago. Thank you for sharing in a respectful way how these people see the world. It’s greatly appreciated.
Robin im so sorry for ur loss...thats terrible i hope that u will heal soon n feel better...my heart goes out to you!!!!😔😔😔😔😔😔😔may the lord give u n ur family peace n calmness..😔😔🙁
Yikes
F
I’m so sorry for your loss, are u alright?
Just want u to know she’s feeling better now
i have schizophrenia myself, its a tough condition to deal with. with it, it’s hard for me to cope with actions and show my expressions, i just freeze up for a few seconds then just go on about my day. if any one else here is schizophrenic, my prayers go out to you.

Yes, people with disabilities can drive, as long as they can pass a driving test and do not accumulate to many tickets

Even schizophrenics?

In my state yes. They are people after all and deserve to be treated as such
My girlfriend is schizophrenic, so thank you for spreading awareness about it
@@misbinh she's on medication but she's doing well, she's a great person. Thank you for asking

My Beloved has symptoms. I love him so. There is a sweet and amazing man trapped in there.
arjun nair pray for her
@@pspcow schizophrenic does not mean crazy! kinda rude comment
My dad suffered from this horrible illness. He would constantly swat at spiders that only he saw. He would wander the streets and unfortunately in 2018 he was hit & killed walking on an interstate. 💔😖 please, PLEASE keep tabs on your loved ones who suffer from this! I miss you dad, but the spiders are gone now. You can rest.
i’m so sorry for your loss. your dad is watching you at peace.
I'm sorry and I hope you've overcome some grief. Hugs from Austria
Sorry for your loss rip to your father
Same thing happened to my brother still cant believe he's gone
Bet
Just want to add! People with schizophrenia can realize that a hallucination is a hallucination
This is something that I'm starting to realise myself. It the resistance to what is happening that reinforces it.
Kashmeer its especially hard to talk about though because realsing the hallucinations arent real and theyre hallucinations but at the same time being confused and disoriented thinking its real at the same time its not fun
Rarely.
It depends on if they are aware that they have it. I have it and though I can usually tell if something is fake, it is no less scary. Luckily, my hallucinations are of Horror movie stuff, nothing to be confused with real. However I struggle with delusions of people trying to be mean to me or rude, complete strangers
Reminds me of the time I saw a maggot in my milk lid and it fell on the floor and i couldn't find it and just stand there for three minutes trying to find out if it was real or not
*One important thing they glossed over was that aside from the hallucinations, there is a lot of symptom overlap with other psychiatric disorders, including bipolar disorder and depression. Before you diagnose yourself with anything (especially based on a RUclips video), seek advice and counselling from a mental health professional.*
Agreed. Thanks for adding it!
RUclips is slowly becoming idiots couch potato
Yes you are right I should go to a doctor but I am too scared.
Yes I could have bipolar plus depression
That called comorbitaty
Prayers to all who live with this 🙏🏿
You learn to live with it..and hide it 😅 well personally
Thank you
Thank you and like the others have said you get used to it sadly
That doesn't help me
Thank you ❤ I'm also a mother living with it
Schizophrenia destroyed my ability to socialize, study and think in high school. I lived many years without treatment. It was and is terrible at times. My heart goes out to those who have this affliction. May you find peace.
Spongebob is in your walls
Do you believe in God?
Are you getting treatment now?
I was diagnosed at a very young age and my father developed it later in life. Thanks to a medication regiment, I thrive and have made it to the age of 36! Theres always hope!!...
What's the medication called
Thank you for sharing, it's heartening to hear that you're doing well. My cousin suffers terribly from this illness and it's nice to think that maybe one day he'll be able to get better.
@@hopeezcurra5377 There is hope. I had it, but that was long ago and I've lived a long and happy life since then.
@@johnnyfrem3600 thank you for your comforting response, if it's not too personal to ask, what was it that helped you? (Please don't feel obligated to answer if that's too intrusive)
I have schizoaffective disorder, and I absolutely KNOW my hallucinations are not real. I've always known. I didn't tell anyone until I was a teenager because I knew that seeing and hearing stuff other people didn't isn't normal and I didn't want to be taken away.
You don't get taken away... You're just diagnosed and they might give you medication...
pixieonthemoon I imagine saying it wasn’t easy for you,so let me tell you that you are brave and I hope you are doing well! 💕
I'm glad to hear you're holding out! What do you hallucinate about usually, if I may ask?
Me too!
Shame! Telepathy exists. Engage with the voices.
Personally, I've lived with this horrible condition for quite some time now. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 17, and it's a terrible experience. I had so much going for me. I was attending a prestigious university and was on track for a degree in mechanical engineering.
But Life has it's hurdles. I had to let go of my college life to focus on my mental. The voices were always a constant companion, as was the fear and the emotional blunting. It's hard for me to have emotions. I often times feel so numb. Not depression feelings, though I would feel depressed from time to time. But I don't even feel like I'm living, just existing. Dissociation is a common thing for me - like I'm on some kind of autopilot, not even feeling like I have a body. I felt like my life was crumbling around me, and that my mind was coming apart.
Schizophrenia has robbed me of many things, not to mention my hopes and dreams. But I am getting better. I now have the voices under control, and I'm no longer afraid. I still feel numbness and dissociated feelings, but now I'm trying to publish a novel based on my experiences, and with that I hope to return to college.
I was a broken man for a long time. But now at this point in my life, i can say that I'm finally picking the pieces up again. I'm trying to rebuild what I lost.
There's always hope out there. With a combination of medicine, therapy, and with the support of family and friends, one can get better and even thrive.
And that's what I hope to do.
Hey, you can do it man. I have a psychosis and can very much relate to what you say. It's 100% possible to achieve what you have just said! I know it for sure
I'm 17 years old with schizophrenia and growing up with it was a major struggle! this video has both helped me mentally and physically! I learned more about my own condition! Its scary and I'm honestly scared of myself. I'm working on getting better but it's very hard because none of my family has been known to history and my voices hurt me and help me! I consistently have to be in a constant challenge and only knowing more seems to help me keep control of my voices.
How you doing now man?
@@NeolaCreations Right .. it’s been a year , I hope life has been okay for you
How r u buddy. Maybe what u r going thru is a normal depression that comes n goes so don't worry.
@@NeolaCreations right now I'm doing great thank you for asking.
@@ManiB314 life has really gotten better for me.
Do blind people see their dreams or...
No I've been on that part of RUclips before haha
probably nit
Oof.
It depends. If a person was BORN blind, then no, they have no concept of sight.
If someone lost thier sight (like me, I'm using a screen reader), then yes.
well there ya go
Mental illness is no joke, if you have symptoms get checked and medication Also inform your partner and close ones, it can happen to anyone.
@@Minienz89 oh really? what makes you believe that?
@@Minienz89 schizophrenia can happen to anyone. i'm not going to pretend i can give straight facts but just look it up. it can happen at any age and to anyone, the causes can be several or few factors that contribute to the severity. this only means you have the potential to develop schizophrenia, not that you will.
Randalf people can be immune to infections, people can’t be immune to mental illnesses
I have it and you should only tell those that you truly trust. It is misunderstood and you could lose friends or a relationship over it
@@_DMNO_ scizophrenia can't just happen in someone who isn't predisposed to it. Its caused by a genetic defect that was there since you existed
I really respect the fact that this was done with such empathy and respect toward those suffering from schizophrenia. It would have been so easy to turn this into a shock value or purely entertaining thing like many things about this illness do, but instead it was compassionate and informative. Well done Infographics Show!
I can’t imagine living with it.. sending my prayers to everyone dealing with it.
thank you, I had it since 5 yo

*_This is a sign_*
Shouldnt It Be *How*
Those algorithms are just too straightforward 😂
main experience is hallucinations or delusion
Please stop showing schizophrenic people with multiple heads/clones. This just reinforces the classic misunderstanding that schizophrenia is DID (multiple personality). Psychosis and dissociations are very different things, I know that from my own experience. Please keep people informed of schizophrenia in a CLEAR manner, don't FEED these misunderstandings!!
I don't have schizophrenia but I was going to say the same thing.
@Chaka Why so rude?
Chaka your whole comment smells🤢
That was a dumb thing to point out
Chaka there are a lot of people still under the impression that they are the same disorders. it’s important to point these things out because these illnesses are highly stigmatized and it’s not arrogant to point out when something meant to be informative is damaging.
I'm a schizophrenic and I wasn't figured out till 2008 after highschool but it was a fight to getting my grades right. But I work really hard to get things together.
The important thing is to remember,
You are not alone.
Of course not, they have all the voices.

i had phsycosis that lasted for 6-7 months; 5 years ago. looking back now i can't believe how messed up i was in my head
Same here - bipolar disorder, type 1. Needed to get on Lamictal to stop the delusions.
Did the voices went away?
@@thc7865 Yes
@@The11thDimension91 That’s good to read. Very happy for you.
How did it go away?
Lol this is like my life story. I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago. I’m 23 now. Doing well! Good luck to all of my fellow people :)
funny how this Is helping me w A level psychology
streamed. Big up AQA psychology 😂
Saaammme
This video is a waste of your time. Vincent is known to have had a seizure disorder which you can see in the unique patterns & halos in his paintings. This author should be ashamed of himself.
@The Infographics Show, we learned in school that Marijuana causes cancer, brain damage, pre-mature death, and unwanted violence. It has been banned under Federal law for almost a century for a reason. Even inhaling the smoke increases your chances of schizophrenia by 75%. Stay away from this deadly drug, thank you~
@@battosaijenkins946 marijuana can't cause half of those things, I have no idea what school you've been going to.
I've been struggling with this disorder since I was 22. I'm 26 now and it is extremely difficult and not a joke. I'm thankful that I'm in treatment because the therapists, doctors, and advocates are all helping me.
Multiple causes. Both my parents were diagnosed with mental illness. My father was diagnosed with schizophrenia and mother w/ Bipolar. Also stress.
@Awaken causes could be different for everyone. So there is no exact cause. So for me it was genetics and stress.
What are some of the challenges you face? I was diagnosed with psychosis in 2017 and took meditation for about a year. I felt much better after about a year and I began working so I stopped the medication because I felt some of the side effects affected me from performing my best at work. I do from time to time have lapses in focus and feel disoriented mentally. I’m worried that I relapse since I’m naturally high risk since I have many relatives who suffer mental issues on both sides of my family.
I see a lot of people with schizophrenia in my job and my heart goes out to these people. Horrible illness.
As someone who has been dealing with psychosis since my late teens, I can say that not all symptoms are the same for everyone. For example, one person who may have auditory hallucinations may not have visual hallucinations and vice versa. There are also different severity levels of the condition (e.g. very mild to severe) and can be treated differently. It is a horrible illness to have and more awareness needs to be made.
Hi, I was also diagnosed a Shizophrenic, but I feel like we have the power to let these things not control our lives. Not as much every day but we can try our hardest to convince ourself that what ever bad feeling we are having about something we can change the pattern of thought to make it go away. I had the symptom where I thought the radio, TV and most social media were stalking, talking and looking in my head but I fought through it. I still have bad thoughts but with love we can change alot.
Jonathan Jacobs well said.
exactly! dont give in to the dis ease
You’re delusional, take your meds
Jonathan Jacobs thanks for giving hope
Your right we do have the willpower to not let it control our lives, it won't disappear but with a positive mindset we can control it thanks.
My grand-grandmother killed herself because of schizophrenia. My grandfather has schizophrenia too. I'm 14 and I show many of these signs and I had 2 suicide attempts. I don't have hallucinations. I'm afraid I have it too. I'm in psychological care and going to the doctor soon for a diagnose.
prayers to you

Love you stay strong
Always take care of yourself
Stay wise
I hope you dont end up with my bf ended up with it at age 40. It has ruined his life
Not Schizophrenic but got BPD which means along with many things I get psychosis sometimes and the voices, intrusive thoughts, delusions and hallucinations can range from weird but banal to terrifying. Once at work I was painting the art galleries (I’m a museum buildings worker) and I kept getting a woman in period clothing harassing me saying that I’m damaging her master’s home but I told her that I’m only painting, must’ve been weird to those around me but at the time I thought she was real.
Infographics show: disorganisation

Disorganization is a quaint way to put it. It’s more that your thoughts make 0 sense and you speak gibberish or not at all.
I'm ADD and was getting nervous over here. I'm all over the place sometimes and mess asf

I was diagnosed. Day's that led up to the realization I had it really were torture. Thrown into an asylum but survived and now living my life. It's something else when you have auditory hallucinations.
Everyone who has this, mad respect to all of you. Keep strong warriors
Sending love to those suffering from schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder❤️
this channel is the best educational channel on RUclips! thanks guys for all your effort and time creating your videos.
Thank you very much! 🙏

It’s really hard to live in society with schizophrenia, no one will understand what goes on in my mind but thank you for trying to explain and help others like me.❤️👽❤️
Wow! This is incredibly sad. For those who suffer from this, I hope and pray that you receive the help and support you rightfully deserve.
Thank you for explaining this in a sensitive and compassionate way when schizophrenia gets So much bad press. I know this as a life long sufferer of mental illness
One of the conditions that can lead to misdiagnosis with schizophrenia that you failed to mention is autism. I have Asperger's syndrome, something I learned three years ago after having been followed for more than forty years by a misdiagnosis of schizophrenia. Yes, I have sensory problems, yes, I'm nobody's social butterfly, but the only time I've ever hallucinated was when I had a high fever as a little girl. I might see the world a bit differently from most people, but I now perceive it as a gift. There's a distinct danger in the way that far too many people want to paste a psychiatric label on some things that they cannot categorize as neatly as they'd like. It cost me the prime of my life.
If you don’t mind me asking did you experience delusions? If you didn’t experience hallucinations or delusions than whoever diagnosed you with schizophrenia is extremely incompetent.
Please do a video on people with “Pure OCD”
Thank you
I’ve suffered from this. I can recommend you to a great RUclipsr who’s video helped me nearly get over this. If you’d like.
S3dG3i3, in fact, I’d say I’m completely over this. Sure I still get thoughts, but they hardly ever cause me anxiety for over a second or too. My anxiety was having schizophrenia lol.
Just look up mark freeman. And take his advice extremely serious. If you’re determined enough you’ll overcome it. I guarantee it
@@Ace-ps8mw Can you describe your experience? I have OCD too :)
Hope Shines, So after this I kinda went into a state of deep depression for constantly being in fear of losing my mind, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t focus in school. My grades dropped severely, and all I can ever think about was me having schizophrenia, and me obsessing over it. I’d constantly, think about it, and tell myself I’m okay. But it only made it worse. Nobody else could tell there was anything wrong with me though, but in my head it was a constant battle with myself. So I began researching and eventually learned it was something called “Pure-OCD” and I also learned you can completely over come this if you’re determined enough too. So I learned techniques to help improve my mental health, and to not feed into the anxiety. And what helped me the most is actually a simple answer.
The infographics show, so thankful for this channel. Educating the masses worldwide.
I have OCD and tourette's and I've been in 4 different mental hospitals, 2 long stays in juvenile hall, and 7 months in a probation run boys camp. I keep attempting suicide and I have no idea why I hurt myself. I've hung myself while sitting down and totally passed out and if it wasn't for my grandmother cutting the rope i wouldn't be typing this comment. I feel lost and isolated in my head. But you have a chance, use it wisely. Life is unbearable from my perspective
I'm here if you need to talk... I also suffer from OCD and GAD, and I felt in a hole but I've finally started to improve and get to know myself better, so if u wanna talk I'm here, don't give up!
Lots of hugs please hang in there ... I wish I could be your friend or help you
I dont know if you believe in jesus or what but im still gonna pray for you. Father, I pray that this person will be delivered from his condition. I pray you wpuld heal him and find refuge in you. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
Thank you for the support and prayers,it really means a lot.
Everydays a new day. A new you. A new opportunity. Put in the perspective of faith and hope and be excited for a goal!
Schizophrenia is Anxiety on steroids.
@@ThisIsTori_ Except it is for some people.
This comment is garbage. Anxiety does not even compare to delusions. You’re not cool because of your mental illnesses.
Tea-Stomach-Cycle no one said that it’s cool
I went on too develop psychotic features , and I agree with that .. if you're talking about horrific debilitating anxiety that makes people become recluses
@@tea-stomach-cycle6385 no said it was cool to have a mental illness.
Hello! Im 13 and got diagnosed with skizophrenia at age 12, but I've had it since i was little, i hallucinate and hear voices often, and have periods in my life where i believe that im the main character in a movie or game, i would also often talk to the "audience" like they where there, by the way if anybody has any questions about my skizophrenia feel free to ask!
My brother is schizophrenia and I often concern myself about his actions and what he sees. Thanks.
You kind of helped me do my PDHPE assignment, we had to choose health issues that are common and I chose to research on schizophrenia.
I have a psychology exam in about 8 hours from now and this is definitely coming out. Thanks for explaining it to me nonetheless!
I love how this is broke down completely to explain the whole entire dilemma of this that everyone is suffering with secretly deep down or without even knowing or ever knowing.😄😋
My dad is a recovered coke addict. He gets voices or feelings that he is being watched but he can brush them off. Sometimes i worry that he is going to come back to it and snap.
He might be a target individual being gangstalked
I'm not schizophrenic, but I do go through psychotic episodes regularly due to my level of mania from bipolar 1 and due to my schizoid personality disorder. I would see and hear things that I believed were spirits coming to assault me because I was a burden that caused them to stay in purgatory.
😂
@@taopaille-paille4992there’s nothing funny about this comment.
@@matth227 Sorry for my reaction
Hallucinations and dreams are the same thing, your unconscious thoughts being interpreted through your sensory cortices. The difference is when there's 'leakage', the dreaming continues when you're awake. We need our unconscious to affect our interpretations of things we see when we're awake so that we can note similarities of experiences, but when 'affect' becomes 'overwhelm' you're hallucinating.
Wow this is a different opinion. I sometimes wish my hallucinations were a dream. It just seems so real.
Thanks for your input doc. Pretty sure it's worse than just dreams being pushed in real life
I watched a documentary in it it says that the brain when dreaming is similar to psychosis and that when you dream it’s a mini psychosis so what your saying makes sense from that angle
.... I'm worried that I should be worried about being worried.... Slightly rethinking my life now.
I have a son who is 15 years old who struggles with this mental illness.Everyday is a struggle for him, but with God first and daily prayers he is keeping him alive. I do not wish this illness on no one because he is trapped in his own mind daily.
Very sad. I had episodes when I was 18 about 3 months after my birthday. But it wasn't schizophrenia. It was caused by medication. I have an amazing doctor who listened, understood, and took action immediately. I was not diagnosed but I think I have a little bit of understanding of it. But for all of you with it. I am so truly sorry, it absolutely breaks my heart to see you going though that. My best friends mom had it and she ended up so bad that she didn't even recognize her own son. He got kicked out. Soon after she killed herself with a knife. It's very heart breaking to me if you have this illness. I'm very sorry if you do.

Thank you for making this video
For someone professionally diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder this video sums up some of the things I see or how they work.
This video will teach people about Schizophrenia.
We need schitzoeffective coverage!!
The idea that this can just occur scares me. My aunt had some form of psychosis, she would frequently lash out against my family members and one day, she just left the family. We have no idea where she went or what she's doing now. The irony is that she studied psychology
I don't have schizophrenia but I had a thing called hypnopompic hallucination (hallucinate after you wake up) and it was terrifying seeing shades of "people" outside my window and hearing voices about them trying to break in my house. I actually almost called the police but noticed I was hallucinating when a few things looked off to me. I still held 911 in my hand the whole night in case :(

Schizophrenia runs in my family. My great grandmother and great aunt (her daughter) both have it. My grandmother and mother don't have it but my sister and I deal with depression and have both attempted suicide and have self harmed at different parts of our lives. I'm 24 and I often worry about me going to a head doctor because i'm afraid they will diagnose me as schizophrenic. I don't hallucinate but I often have conversations with myself and my emotions can become really overwhelming to handle so I have frequent panick/anxiety attacks. I appreciate this video for not dehumanizing that population and I feel a little bit better about it

I love these videos and I think they're very well put together and educational. I just wish he could talk a tad bit slower for me to fully process every fact haha
Only a couple of words for it. Aweful I'm so sorry for anyone who has it. It breaks my heart.
i have heard of a woman that heard voices giving her encouragement and self confidence.
i know this is not the norm
That must be awesome!
There can be positive voices, but mostly they are negative. They can get worse as you get older and it can be more difficult to brush them off as the years go on. I have it. Therapy and medication is the best route to go, believe me. At 26, I had a constant hallucination of an evil woman telling me to crash the car and that was last year. I ignored the hallucination, but it was distracting and dangerous
I suffered an episode of depression psychosis, where I started seeing and hearing a big humanoid being. It mostly gave me advice. But problem was, if I didn't listen to it it tended to get angry, which prompted me to get help.
My dad was paranoid schizophrenic. He was nasty at times and it was hard to b around him and the things he would say were heartbreaking. He had a calmer side too and he would call me when he was drinking and call me baby or he said he knew I would make him feel better. It was a difficult life for sure.
I have an adoptive brother who's esquisofrenic. It's really hard to deal with him, but he's being teaching us to be better people.
i'm writing a play about a schizophrenic and their experiences in life and doing research this was extremely useful!
Vincent Van Gogh didn't cut off his whole ear because of an argument. He liked a girl whose ear was misformed, so to make her feel less alone he cut off a part of his ear and sent it to her to show his empathy. He was really kind, although it was a weird action.
It's also speculated that he was shot by children and took the fault which the evidence seems more likely than him shooting himself.
Dude, it’s all the way opposite. He lost his ear due a fight, so he made up the story that he liked a girl and cut it because of her.
good thing he didnt cut off something else and sent it to her
I've close family members that suffers from schizophrenia.
They are Going to be great.
@@BieluChukwu9 I hope so..it's hard for me to help them. They refuse to see a doctor.
@@Darkstalker212 just observe them. And watch them and protect them but don't try to change them or force anything upon them. And you shall see greatness.
@@BieluChukwu9 Been struggling to do that for years. I'm currently trying to convince my mother to go back home. She's been sleeping in the car at some parking lot. She always let my older brother stay with her (that also has schizophrenia) and they get into arguments and fights. So much, that the police know about their symptoms. She kicks him out, he goes to jail, when he gets back out. She let him right back in again. So tiring man, dealing with them over the years. Has cause me to have depression.
Me 2 deathstalker
Great content as usual
Thank you very much for this video!!
The Infographics Show: *goes over symptoms, lists men in their early 20's*
Me: *nervous sweating*
I actually looked back in time and went through memories of my sister becoming wierd and showing more and more of those symptomes. Nobody suspected anything till she had a psychotic epizode. That illnes is terrible and going through all of the memories of it taking her away I cried.
My dad began a pretty bad psychotic break in 2015 and is finally taking his medication as of last year. He isn’t the same but I’m happy he’s able to live a somewhat normal life now.
This explains alto . Thank you .
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at about 21. I was diagnosed with OCD before that. I take medications twice a day. I used to think undercover cops were after me. Now my symptoms are lesser. I also take only one shower every 7-14 days.
Whoa, similar situation.
I’ve always been fascinated by schizophrenia, I’ve even dove down and tried to replicate those unique hallucinations with weird drugs, ( drugs that make you have nasty and scary hallucinations and voices) and yet I’ve only gotten a taste of what these people are going through
I used to think I was schizophrenic. But I realized I did not have hallucinations or delusions. But I had the cognitive problems and depression and mild mania. I was later diagnosed with Autism.
My best friend has schizophrenia, she is not even 20 yet...she had many other illnesses and her home life is poor. The things she sees tend to be violent or with a dark mood. She taught herself to cope by drawing the things she saw, gave the things personalities, even made friends with them in order to not feel afraid. She is very brave and is fighting hard to cope. Most people have given up on trying to be friends because they aren't able to understand what she's going through and tell her to "Get over it they aren't real". Her parents are very religious and no longer take her to therapy, since she is still a minor she can't do anything. Thank you for spreading awareness about this, to help people understand this condition.
As a schizophrenic person I learned a lot from this
My aunt has it and I ve been having suttle signs of hallucinations for 3 months now, it's mostly barely noticeable most of the time but I had a couple of vivid times where I heard my name or saw 2 shadow men beside my bed looking me in the eye and didn't dissappear until I turned my head away and turned back I'm scared and I ve made it a point to make the most of my life rn since my risk of having it in the future is increasing every time I hear smth and it happens and average of once to twice in a stressful week .
Can you do social anxiety I have it and I would like more people to know about it
I pray for you.
Thanks for your video. I am schizophrenic and I feel so depressed about it every day. I was diagnosed with it when I was 22 years old, but I had the symptoms since I was a child. I am now 26 years old, I never had a girlfriend, I barely have any friends, and despite having decent studies I don't know if I will have a successful career. I always want to cry because of this. Why was I born with this, what did I did to deserve this? Life is truly unfair, sometimes too unfair on certain people.
Hey Rastalov! Things happen for a reason sometimes at least and you are still an amazing person. Remember to focus on the positive and think of the glass half full. It may feel fake at first but it will feel normal after a while. During Covid times it may feel tougher. Try to reconnect with friends and family and one day you’ll meet an awesome girl. 💖
I started showing numerous symptoms of schizophrenia after a traumatic series of events in my early and mid 20s. They are mild, and I am aware that most of the time when I am perceiving or thinking of something wrong. However... That wrongness can be overwhelming at times...
I did discover that certain foods can help suppress the symptoms, such as dark chocolate. Whereas fish seems to amplify the symptoms.
I fear, one day, that I will become the old homeless man that screams and yells and hits himself while gathering cans...
I have a friend who experiences terrifying hallucinations (organs, gore, bugs, maggots, disgusting things basically) when she's off of her medication. She knows that they're not real but is mortified, etc. There was a time in her life where she fell into a deep state of depression and actually lashed out at me for trying to help her. People nowadays think that it's cool to hallucinate. Shame.
I hope she's okay
Thank u so much for making this video it’s so hard to explain this when ppl ask what’s wrong with u ?
Wow thx for making me unsure if i have it or not.
I have schizophenia which is terrified,i cant cope with my school work,cant focus or understand correctly what others says,my grade got only worse.Thank you the infographic show for making a video about this,at least i know im not alone
you dont have it
@@Abel1120 so you want me to prove that i have it?What?
@@bentcbkietlam7492 a person with who has it does not know they have it... they actually feel that what they are experiencing is apart of the world.... almost like everyone else thinks the same way...
i had a pal who was messed up, wired thoughts, he actually thought there were people hiding in his air conditioner, but when ever he looked the people had on some invisible clothing
strange dude Alright, even with a few of us pointing out facts he was unable to see the facts, he really believed, we were apart of some government group....
0:21 got his ear accidentally cut off in a sword fight with a friend and said he cut it off so his friend wouldn’t get in trouble.
Awesome video explained well
I have a cousin with schizophrenia, so it’s good to know this information
