    I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder in my early twenties and told I should never have children. I now have three wonderful sons aged 18, 20 & 21. 🙂

    Thank you for all these videos. My wife have schizoffective disorder with bipolar symptoms too, and she was hospitalized twice last year. I have tried to learn as much I can about Schizoffective Disorder to help my wifey, and educate myself, your channel has helped me learn a lot, thank you again. My wife has been doing a lot better since she came home from the hospital last November:)

    I just got out of my 46th hospitalization in about a decade and I am traumatized. Thank you for making me feel less alone.

    Not wanting to do things and wondering if it all matters anyways ain’t “anosognosia” - it’s just being a normal human being who reflects upon the absurdity of life.

    When I’m more stressed out, I hear music playing outside of my head. Like in another room or across the room. It’s made up music too and singing. I can’t make out any of the words. But it’s constant music playing and it never ends.

    I noticed being younger it was alot easier to manage my mental illness symptoms but the older I get the more tired I get of managing mental illness symptoms. Hopefully you have better luck than I.

    I have ADHD and I never don’t have a song playing in my head, unless I’m in a severe depressive episode - for some reason it’s not as persistent then. It’s pretty much 24/7, I can even change up the song sometimes lol. My head is basically a radio station.

    Songs stuck in your head may have different causes. I think the scientific research on that is unclear and insufficient at this point. My mind is almost always playing random original tunes. That may be associated with ADHD, trauma (escapism), or just a creative mind, but also with hallucinations.

    The love you have in your life is contagious!! The connection between you and your family so wonderful to see. Great video Rob and Lauren! I couldn’t help but notice how often y’all smile. I like that.

    I’m so thankful for this channel. My brother has schizophrenia and my oldest son. My brother has a beautiful family and is doing well and has been for a long time. He’s started shots at 23, he’s now 47. Knowing him before the symptoms kicked in he’s probably 95%. Like who he was before. He still has a bit of paranoia and some racing thoughts, but he manages it like a trouper. He still sometimes tries to convince me he doesn’t need the shots

    I don’t have schizophrenia but I have severe panic and anxiety disorder. You give me so much hope in my own journey, as my life is a constant “what will my symptoms be today” battle. I’m also glad to know I’m not the only one who is constantly questioning my reality and the existence of people around me.

I have the highest respect and admoriation for what you guys are doing, and how hard you work to educated. Thankyou all very much! I hope you have a fantastic week.
