    Had a conversation with my brother recently . He’s just been cut off all his meds for schizophrenia. Bipolar and depression so is a hot mess… He spent the whole time talking about how angry he was at the people who wanted to hurt him, our dad who had anger issues , the Marist brothers who constantly caned him , the bullies at school . It was like it happened yesterday instead of decades ago . He told me about an episode he had where he heard someone sat “see as I see, know as I know , do what I say . “ and the being that said it was huge . To me it Sounds like a child describing an abusive adult yelling down at him .. he was always In trouble because he’s autistic,and didn’t / couldn’t /doesn’t understand social “norms “ That one event got him a diagnosis of schizophrenia. I have lost all faith in the psychiatric institution, at the drop of a hat they put him on drugs with no monitoring and just as abruptly took him off all the drugs he became addicted to .

    John Reed makes a valid point about the neglect of social and psychological factors in understanding psychosis, and the challenges in developing biological theories for its emergence. However, with a purely intrinsic psychological approach, the lack of specificity persists, raising questions about why some individuals develop psychosis without extraordinary trauma while others develop what we now call complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) in response to similar trauma instead of psychosis. While there is undoubtedly merit in considering psychosis and psychiatric issues generally through biographical narratives, we must acknowledge that, at present, their explanatory capacity is as constrained as that of biological models. Despite the insights gained from understanding personal stories, neither approach alone fully elucidates the complexities of these conditions.

    For me…I traced ALL my difficulties back to my childhood. ..yet to others living in denial ( including my own siblings ) I wasn’t supposed to say anything…so I became trapped and dissociated very very young.
    I needed love…and only found it at age 50 …my divine connection back to god 🙏💙. That’s where my healing process began. Extremely painful to go through but also moments of profound connection …the only real connection that there is.
    I live completely alone now, because I have no one with any deep and profound insights that I have personally expericned.
    I used to work for pharma …it’s a shambles and a scam 🙏💙

    My siblings and I grew up with a mentally unstable mother who severely abused us and she also abused my father but convinced everyone that he was harming her. So we were left with a monster instead of a mother. I ran away at 13 and I’ve struggled with PTSD but my brother has never gotten away and he lives in a hoarders house with her. He has to get shots of Risperdal every 10 days that turn him into a zombie and take away his ability to laugh, enjoy music and play instruments. He also paces and only sleeps every second night. My mother is severely abusive to him, hasn’t been able to get into her own bed for a decade or so because of the rubbish on her bed and there are droppings and fleas everywhere. I wish I could help my brother but I can’t do anything with her still around. She calls the police on me if I try to contact my brother.

    I think I learned more about why I am diagnosed bipolar by reading the work of Fyodor Dostoyevsky than the many medications, suicide attempts and hospitalization and Electro Shock Therapy. Dostoyevsky wrote about the inner human with such insight that I began to see myself as a complex individual who suffers. We don’t accept the fact that we will suffer. Converting to Roman Catholicism started my healing when I had no prior spiritual experience and learning that we all are struggling in various ways. Self awareness and self acceptance. ❤

    I would appreciate your thoughts on drug induced psychosis. My son started experimenting with LSD around 2020. Some months later he had his first psychotic episode causing him to be sectioned. Up until this time my son had never suffered from psychosis he had never been on any medication. However over the last 4 years my son has been sectioned several times is now on medication plus he's been put on a community treatment order. I am disappointed in psychiatry and feel this needs a complete overhaul from top to bottom and try and really help people rather than just sedating and dumbing people down with medication which is doing more damage than good. God bless you sir keep up the good work 🙏

    Getting rid of an internalized abuser is like getting rid of a toxic alter ego. Some of them won't go for anything less than moral injury.
    Understanding narcissistic abuse and the family back stories helped me understand their denial and inconsistencies.

    • @TheDavveponken
      @TheDavveponken 8 месяцев назад +2

      shamefully, understanding my own denial and inconsistencies as well, but most of all gaslighting whenever I tried to bring it up. My little sister is still in denial whenever I tell her why she isn't as damaged as me from our negligent/unable narcissistic parents, she believes it is because of a relative of ours which were a "power figure" - i.e. coping hard by being hard - but I know, it's because she had me, a compassionate older brother. Love is what gives you confidence and peace and calm - not doubling down. Sad to hear her pridefully say I had nothing to do with it. I think to do so would be to admit defeat for herself. As with every "self-made" man/woman. No one is self-made. Or at least, extremely rarely so.
      When you say moral injury, do you mean being humbled, as affecting moral negatively?

      @TheDavveponken @TheDavveponken I was often blamed irrationally and accused of doing things to deliberately bring harm to myself or others. I have disability issues which are debilitating in sensory overloading environments which most people can function in without problems. I was on my own as far as trying to cope with them as well as some situations which came up. I don't think having had comprehensive health insurance would have helped at that time as my symptoms were not recognized as a disability or an exhausting struggle. I was bullied at home and bused into a school where at-risk kids were a joke and targeted by some of the staff.
      I have often had to endure social environments where I was not spoken to like I was a human being. There's a lot to be said for being surrounded by people who can make human connection.

    Important to discuss why some people develop mental imbalance:psycho social issues,poor diet, poverty, ‘recreational’ drugs and neglect,including the classic ‘double bind’ programming,cause a lot of cases.However, I have worked in community mental health for over 20 years and know anti psychotics and anti depressants CAN SAVE LIVES.Anti psychotic drugs can enable some people to function in their lives.And some people PREFER a medical explanation for their unhappiness which allows them to avoid taking personal responsibility.

    Appreciated and agreed with professor John Reed. Was a little shocked in the end of the interview that he was considering that electric shock treatment could be valuable. To me that is a big tranquilizer, similar to kicking the vending machine and somehow getting your product choice to be ejected - not the best way to fix the vending machine. Otherwise in complete agreement and certainly learned something thank you for the interview

    This is an incredibly important interview with lots of must-hear insights. I would just add that two things I would've liked to have heard is that these psych drugs can have serious side effects even when taken for a very short duration (less than a few weeks), and also, akathisia (severe internal agitation) can occur upon starting, taking and/or stopping these and other medications. People don't know the word akathisia (even health professionals), and yet this condition is so widespread and horrific. Thank you to the two of you for all you're doing to create more awareness of the dangers of taking psychotropic drugs.

    The unknown factor as to why trauma and stress causes mental illness in some people, but not in others, and why it causes illness later, rather than earlier is starting to be known now. I think the branch of psychiatry is called metabolic psychiatry, I'm not 100% sure of the name, but it studies the connection between metabolic health and mental illness. There's a strong connection between poor metabolic health and mental illness and research is now showing the reasons why and offering treatments through diet adjustment with incredible results being shown. Of course this is a slow moving new field, because there's not a lot of money to be made from diet adjustments, even though this may in fact be the solution to the mental health puzzle for many people.

    I think its worth looking at protective factors in explaining why some become psychotic and others don't, eg when traumatic events happen in someone's life was there someone offering sympathy, a refuge, friendship, support ie a loving grandparent, a teacher or youth worker who took an interest in a neglected and abused child etc etc. To concentrate on trauma but ignore other parts of a life story seems inadequate.

    Semantic reasoning really creeps me out. Like these people who are all too willing to be manipulated so easily with superficial labels, language, categorical thinking, false concepts. Some learnt o dress the part and speak through the language, run with it, play along, and use it. Some are genuinely duped. Just because they're given a word. I don't understand it and I don't like them not only kicking around this world as though they're sane and normal, but artificially manufactured and filtered up into positions where they have power over others. Despite being basically golem. Programmable little toys.

    Both these men are brilliant. To the older man, yes, words and terms create realities. Very true. It is in the interpretation that we then experience our realities. A perfect example is the UFC. A fighter gets nearly killed- arm broken, concussed, maybe even blinded, but walks out of the ring getting pats on the back and he/she is SIMILING. Meanwhile, at a local college campus, a students Starbucks is not hot and he/she freaks out. It's about expectations. If an average person gets slapped- they wil have trauma- but again, not the UFC fighter. It is therefor less about the physical, real, reality and more abut our interpreation. The medical system is evil. They make labels and skulp realities around said labels. Like with most things, about 5% had a legit basis for existance- like tolls, fines, tickets, lawyers, police, politicians- 5% legit. The rest is corrupted for the sake of the almighty dollar.

    That one factor they were both looking for............its spiritual. I saw an interview with an exorcist(father vincent lampert) and he recounted a story of when he went into a psychiatrist hospital to administer the Eucharist(the bread which is the most holy sacrament of the altar). When he entered the facility some of the patients went bat shit crazy. They cursed at him, they stripped off their clothes, they pulled out their hair and howled like animals. So he went and did his job, he said holy mass then gave out the eucharist. On his way out, those same patients were smiling and wishing him well, "Goodbye father, see you next time" as nice as pie. Why? because he had given out all the holy bread and it was no longer on his person. They were triggered spiritually. Just read the Gospels and you can see the description of demon possessed people is eerily similar to schizophrenia, especially the man who the lord cast out the legion of demons.
