God has taken me off all my meds. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar. My healing wasn’t instant and progressive over time. God handled it all. He just wanted me to surrender and seek after him in relationship. Not religion not works. I pray for this man’s healing! God is able. And he is 100% willing. The healing was paid for on the cross. We just have to believe and allow ourselves or receive it.
This is Amazing!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
That's amazing! Glory to God for being healed!
God handled it all ? Good to know . In situations of triage let the doctors know so that they can put you last in line so you have more time to pray .
Meds are ok for very short, controlled amounts of time.
The first question should always be, when and how do "WE" (you & doc) get off of them?
Wow. Amazing. I’m thankful to hear that your healing has come.
I am so grateful to find this video. My 21 year old son was diagnosed with schizophrenia a couple of years ago. I didn't want to believe it but it's very obvious that he has it now. I've resorted to giving him his medication without him knowing because I can not deal with him without any medication.
He's told me I'm the only person he can trust, and hes alienated everyone else who has ever cared about him. He used to love God but he went too far with it and was unstable, now he says he's an atheist or agnostic.
I love my son, but it's exhausting and so difficult to live with this.
My 27 year old son who suffered with schizophrenia for many years was found unresponsive in a park in a city clear across the country. He was taken to the hospital where he was put on life support. He lay there for over 3 weeks, unidentified, until brain death was determined and support removed. He died 3 days later. His identity was discovered post-mortem via fingerprints and family was finally notified. I received the call yesterday. Without his verbal or written consent, prints were not obtainable until an autopsy was performed. Surely I am not the only parent who believes following the letter of the law in his case was cruel and inhumane. Laws must be changed to protect those who cannot advocate for themselves. I am devastated that my beautiful son passed all alone after all that time. Watching this disease destroy him was the most excruciating experience of my life.
I appreciate your address of the topic and only wish I’d not been so ignorant of the signs in the early stages.
This should have way more views. A lot of people need to hear this!
My son is in his early 20's diagnosed with Schizophrenia and it has cause him to become catatonic. Now and it's a rollercoaster ride.
OMG! I thought I was alone, my son is diagnosed with this disease. My heart went out to you! Be strong, sir!
I'm dead with this with my son and lord this is the hardest thing to get a grip of.
This gives me hope. This is my son! 😩😭😭😭
Wow! Am I thanking God right now I found your channel!! We have a family member/ my brother who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. And we are at a loss for what to do. Thank you.
Thank you so much. My adult son has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and it's so difficult. He's never met his biological father and has had 2 stepfathers who haven't ever fully connected well with him. It's so hard.
Thank you brother. It is such a blessing to see a believer with a biblical perspective in the arena of mental health. Thank you for your work.
Marķ...I wish I could tell you how meaningful this talk was for me. I am a mental health therapist, my oldest brother was diagnosed schizophrenic in his early 20s and had many of these experiences that this young man had. I think my bro had serious OCD (also or instead of schizophrenia) but this was not really addressed. Everything you said was right on the money. Lots of dad issues my siblings and I have had as well due to his own brokenness. God has done and continues to do an amazing work in my life!! Thanks Mark!!
My brother was diagnosed 40 years ago. My mother forced the entire family to live with him. Save yourself decades of in and out of mental hospitals with a person that has schizophrenia. Have him/her institutionalised immediately. They always think they don’t need the meds. They stop taking it. You watch the slow decline in violent psychosis. Eventually you get them into a car and at the emergency room. Then you spend hours trying to keep them from walking away while the doctor decides to admit them to the psychiatric ward. Then it’s months before they are back on their meds and stable enough to come home. Just for all of this to repeat itself over and over and over. Yeah, but keeping telling yourself these stories. My mother did that at the expense of the rest of the family.
Where are the counselors like you who could help? 😢
Thank you. I'm going through this right now and trying to figure out what to do.
Same with my son, how is ot going?
Ohhh... this touched my heart so deeply as my eldest brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia... my God 😭🩵💙
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and am a strong believer. I even talked to God during my episodes. I’m on medication and have never been happier. I see it as a blessing in disguise. Would love to collaborate with you on something in this topic. I’m applying to get my PsyD in psychology from Christian Universities. Jesus has taken me from negative to positive multiple times.
Can I ask what med helps you .?
Mark, I thought you handled this with much wisdom and knowledge! Thank you for taking time to share!
Relying On God 24 7. And talk therapy. But it takes a long long time to get to know yourself. And your so right about making sure your around people.
That's pretty much my story, but not as much sexual trauma(thank God!). I'm adopted, (blood has thalassemia) Can't go for long periods of loneliness. Constantly obsessed with Salvation. I'm pretty much stuck in limbo.
My adult son’s father doesn’t want anything to do with him anymore. It’s so hard for me as his mother to help him. We are divorced for many years. My son and his ex girlfriend had a daughter and his father has custody. My son is spiraling downward fast 😢. He has never been evaluated but I believe he has severe mental illness. Not speaking , like it’s hard for him to talk. A few times he leaves house middle of the night rings neighbors doorbell and leaves. They have cameras set up now I’m being evicted because they think he’s dangerous which he’s never been mean or anything but lately he does show frustration 😢😢. He’s 33 years old
And he’s doing drugs, drinking
Maybe drug rehab would help? I'm so sorry!
@@brianarc2 yes rehab would be good 🙏🏻. I hope he realizes he needs some kind of help soon
I know this may seem a little off topic but I have been hearing that the keto diet is really helpful for some with schizophrenia.
My Mother was a Paranoid Schizophrenic. Always Medication Non Compliant and her family was sure that if we'd just be more helpful and behave better that she wouldn't be sick. We called them the "SS" Sofa Sessions when the family would set us down and explain that her Illness was all our fault. We were loaded into the car many times and told that we were being taken to the Orphanage. My Mother's family arranged for my Mother to get a Divorce from my Father because my Father was the reason that she was Ill. My father was a Farmer and everyone knows that growing Crops and raising Livestock is what causes Schizophrenia. Upon this loss my father found divine inspiration, wisdom and guidance from the 3 wise men. I'm not talking about the Father, Son and Holy Ghost I'm talking about Jim Beam, Jack Daniel's and Hyrum Walker. Yep, what a Ride. My Mother burned my High School History Term Paper because there were Voices coming out of it. When she found out that I'd signed up to attend our local Community College, she promised to see me starve to death in a Cold Dark Alley with an Aching Hungry Belly. She said that she'd checked with the Voices and that the College was run by the Devil God Satan himself and that no child of hers was going to Worship Satan. She told me to get the ***F out. Yep, what a Ride. I left home that night with 2 changes of Clothes in a paper sack and $6 in my pocket. I never went back home. I joined the Military during the Vietnam War Era for 4 years. After the Vietnam War was over I attended Community College with a little help from the GI Bill. I've worked 60-80 hours a week since I was 15 years old.
Today I'm a 71 year old Retired, Debt Free Homeowner, with a Comfortable Financial Portfolio. I have a High School Diploma, DD214 Honorable Discharge, 6 years of College with 2 Degrees hanging on the wall of my home office. I am what most people would call successful.
When I was 50 years old I was talking to my Maternal Grandmother on the phone when she interrupted our conversation to tell me that I should feel sorry for her, my Grandmother. She went on to say that I couldn't possibly understand how hard it was for her and the rest of the family to lay awake at night knowing that the Sheriff was going to call and tell them that my Mother had killed all of us Children. I asked her why she didn't do something. Why she didn't have my Mother permanently committed to one of the may Psychiatric Hospitals that she'd been in over the years. Why weren't the Children made a Ward of the Court and placed in Foster Care. She said that would have brought too much Shame onto the Family. They just had to keep their fingers crossed and hope that nothing really bad happened.
Schizophrenia doesn't operate on Hope and Dreams. Schizophrenia operates on Medication to help balance the Chemical Irregularities in the Brain that cause Irrational Thoughts. Schizophrenia will Require Lifelong Supervision. Schizophrenia Can Not be Cured it can only be Managed.
How do you get off out of the mental health services system???
Hi new to channel I'm so happy to havd found your channel. My son was diagnosed with Schizophrenia and he want take meds he acts out toward my by rejecting my phone calls. Im not sure what to do.
Mine started with an OCD that was very disturbing to me and it affect me so much daily, after months of stress causes by me freaking out about this thought, the voices came to my life for the first time, i been in and out of meds for years for schizophrenia, no body knows what they doing when it comes to my case , i know the voices represent my abusive narcissist mom, i even still live with her. I cant escape my mom and the voices any advice
I was r*pe by a "friend"
I lost the "perfect " man
I was bully in and out of school
School stop being a priority due to too much stress the voices causes
I couldn't focus
I have no talent no skill at my grown age, I had expectation on how my life is going to be, I thought I was going to have a successful career at 21 but I went broke cuz of it, every time I hear that god will delivery me I get mad cuz why do I need to suffer for however long just to help others, my life a mess,I did drugs to escape, it made it worst, I met a man that took my love and abuse me , I let men walk over me due to my people pleasing and desperation, and lack of life experience he was older. I was so close to my voucher but I was so stupid I let a man distract me from it, now I'm facing consequences for it, I have such hatred and anger towards my self and those who hurt mean, I made sure I was in my best good girl behavior and still got f over
Vey interesting Mark, how would one know the difference whether they have OCD or schizophrenia since they sound the similar. Both deal with irrational or unreal, non-objective, paranoid thoughts and realities?
Hey there, the difference between OCD & schizophrenia is that OCD deal with paranoid thoughts while the person is aware of the absurdity of their behavior that just can't stop it (in case) while schizophrenics are unable to recognize as they suffer from not just intrusive thoughts but hallucinations (visual/auditory) & concrete delusions, none of which are experienced in OCD. [Im a Psyc major who experienced schizophrenia]
@@mdy888 But as comeone that has suffered with OCD, I had irrational beliefs that even though others pointed out to me that I was afraid for no reason, it didn't make it go away, it was real to me. No voice or hallucinations but do all shizophrenics have them?
@@Psalm-uv1qm Hey :) ya, both ppl who have/had OCD and schizophrenia suffer the same way because to them what they are experiencing is very real (as u & I know), what distinguishes what they call schizophrenia is precisely the auditory / visual hallucinations.. Now that I've gone through the spiritual journey I'd say both are demons of the same nature (delusions) just different symptoms to the outside world.
This is helpful, thank you
Thank you for this ❤️
Mark, I've had schizoaffective for 25 years. I feel numb. I've always taken my meds because before I took them I got insanely psychotic and violent and it all scared me too much. This all happened while wanting to escape a very legalistic church. Today I can't find assurance because my natural ability to feel joy, love, etc is shot through from my antipsychotic Lurasidone. This also happened on Abilify. Here's what I struggle with - I don't know if I'm just a hard hearted dead hearted person who just is following the rules, or if I can truly blame the meds at least for part of my emotional distress and inability to feel. And what to do?
@@dknecht1971 did you ever tried to change your diet? Explore keto diet and carnivore diet as well. It could be very helpful. There are a lot of resources on RUclips.
I will pray for you to heal from the side effects of the medication you’ve been on. It can be so discouraging and disorienting but healing is possible and God is mightyand capable. None of us are stuck where we’re at. God bless you and keep you 🙏
Ezekiel 36:26
New International Version
26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
Great work Mark! Happy holidays to you and the family.💖 Also, love the video on overcoming anxiety about world circumstances you just did!
During my 2nd psychosis I thought my dad was my biological brother for a month lol
Way too many commercials on this one
Hey Mark, didn't you use to have Facebook group? If so, why did it get deleted?
I was wondering because some people are saying it's bad and I was wondering if you agreed because your group is gone.
Hellô
…and if there is not father involved ?l because father disent beleive there is hope anymore
what is a mother to do 😢😢?
similar situation to this young man here with difrence that my aim was in jail few times from substance abuse not abused sexually
Thank you thank you
✝️EAM** JESUS 💯🕊️💫🤝
how does one get kicked out of a faith based group??/I got 4 minutes in ...you don't really understand the disease..I can't go further....wow..head shaker
I don't understand... what exactly are you trying to say?
Living with a person who is schizophrenic makes you crazy… constant upset and unreasonable demands, conversations, out of control… you can’t live in that… Your conversation is all about the Schizophrenic person… …. A 24/7 living condition is not doable. Stop just tell the whole story
Believing in God is a delusion . Just one that society accepts as being harmless . but
My son is 22 and over the last 3 to 4 years I try my best to stay away from him. And all he wants to do is be with me 24/7. I stay locked in my bedroom and my daughter stays locked in her room we try to stay away from my son at all cost. But he is constantly banging on my door until I let him in. He dose not have one single friend. I’m it. It’s very sad situation. He is so attached to me and go’s crazy if I leave the house without him. He wants me to take him to the store every single day and I do that but I don’t want to. When he don’t get his way on something he calls me a bitch and says nasty things to me way inappropriate things. He has pushed me a couple times and hit me once or maybe twice. I am exhausted and can’t take this no more. I do not want to be his caregiver no more I have absolutely no life no more. I can’t even hardly come out my room and my daughter needs me and I have no energy left. He needs to be in a home were he can make friends and have a healthy routine. I hear what you saying about him wanting love but I am so hurt and angry everyday cause of how he treats me I don’t even want to be around him and I can’t even show him any love. None of the meds are working really he sleeps like 18 hours a day and he gos back and forth from his room to living room so my daughter and I have to tiptoe every single day so we don’t wake him up. I tell his doctors all the time his meds are not really working and how much he sleeps. I am at my wits end I’m ready to put him on the streets or take up arms to protect myself. He dose not know how to take care of him self so putting him on the streets will be like putting a 5yo out but I can’t do this any more. He always wanted a dad but it’s only been me and my 2 kids. This started about 4 years ago. He has gotten a little better I was having to call cops every single day. Sometimes they would take him to the hospital were they would keep him from a week to maybe 3 weeks and that’s the only break I get. I need help real help
I'm so sorry, boo. I'm going through the same thing. My son is 24 and I'm going through something similar. Except my son got out of the mental hospital 11 days ago and things were going good on his meds, then he got manic and left Thursday while I was at work and apparently did drugs, cause he was up for 3 days and nights. He told me if I marchman act him, he promised me he would be on the news cause he will murder someone. He ended up in the hospital this time cause he held a gun to both of our heads and was gonna kill us both. Now, with the drugs, I know he will go into a psychosis and prob kill me. I slept in my car last night, I can't do this anymore....I'm so broken.
