I had a diagnosed schizoaffective episode a few years ago. What I realised is that my expectations towards relationships in general were off the track. Also, my affective needs became abnormal due to extremely stressful events in my life. I was looking for support and kept failing. In my experience, a small ajusment in the thinking process goes a long way in feeling more centered. For me, expections from relationships and my outlook on life. For others, might be different but I truly beleive it is possible to improve the life experience by thinking differently.
So insightful. I think this is the situation with someone I know…what you saw as the issue and treatment (change in expectation and perspective). You are very insightful and brave to be aware of this and change. I wish you continued success ♥️
I think that as long as I am self reliant and keep other people’s noses out of my business I do quite a lot better than if I chat to people as the people that I meet day to day are not my friends and they never will be so I don’t feel that I need people to make me feel better about my mistakes as I know that talking to outsiders is one

Very wise. 😊
@@alundavies8402 Yes....realising late in life...
I noticed as a person with schizo effective disorder, that peopel with with this disorder have a look about them, some kind of desperation and emptiness in the eyes
Bipolar same
Highly disagree and how have you validated this statement (data, scientific evidence).
@@tracyallen2738 they have the disease you nob
Was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder 37 years ago, at the time it was a fairly unusual diagnosis. Had active episodes every few years and am considered medication-resistant. I would definitely be willing to be involved in a study, ask me some questions, take some blood and contribute to further understanding of the brain--hell ya.

Can we work with schizoaffective?
How did you quit the medication? I’m on zyprexa for years now
Ok sure
I have schizoaffective as well. I think the medical community is mostly interested in subduing us-not healing us.
You can't heal this bro, just manage it.
I believe in a purpose to schizoaffective disorder. I don't think what we experience is anything less than an increased perception. Even the scary episodes, life is scary. But there is a peace in not fighting against a disorder, I feel happier when I let my mind free.
William Register amen!!
its only a disorder cuz they labeled it as one ....they cast aside somethig they dont understand!!!
.in schizoafective disorder the symptoms are less severe would you believe than if you were a schizafrenic only. You would think the opposite.
@@mysteryman8426 Don´t you think the disorder part relates to the mental pain and cripling effects on social interactions? I am bipolar type 2 myself, so I am not trying to, nor could or would I try to teach you about schizoaffective disorder. I mostly got my information on the subject by watching the absolutely lovely Jonny for years. He is such a sweetheart. I want to hug him and comfort him every time I watch one of his videos. Some of his videos are truly heartbreaking. I think Jonny may just be one of the bravest and strongest people I have watched on the internet.
yes but what about the delusions,?
At what point is Jonny supposed to be challenging this "expert?" It seems his authority is well received by the interviewer.
because he lives it, the professor just studies it
@@cameronbradshaw7735 forest for the trees
Ive had a schizoaffective disorder diagnosis for the past 15yrs and when i first started watching this, how he talks and thr movements for sure mimic mine as well. I get distracted alot by my voices n shadow people at times, so if i stutter alot or pause a long time its cuz im focusing in on my hallucinations and i look off into the distance alot because i see through the wall at times at things im sure most people dont do or see or because im on guard and my paranoia points out every1 in my general area.
Thanks to Dr idume I got cured using his herbal medicine and now I’m better and normal 👇👇👇

I’m on zyprexa for years now which prevents me from going manic. I wanna achieve to be healthy without medication. I feel like the things we see or hear exist in another reality and no one is crazy. Peace and love to u
I'm schizophrenic I'm looking for a girlfriend lol I'm dead serioud
thank you for the work you do
Thank you
Your story is so inspiring and I hope you all the best all always. I know this was a whilst back but you're still young and have a long life ahead. So thank you for sharing this with us
Other person who doesnt have a clue. Everyone is having spiritual awakenings, and gifted people are told they are mentally ill. The psychiatrist has no clue at all, reading from a book he has spent years learning, yet not actually experienced anything in his own life. So sad to see so many amazing peoples lifes getting taken away
+bellany I had bipolar mania diagnosis and psychosis. Ended up being a kundalini awakening. "The psychosis" was extreme but positive when the kundalini actually "rose" years later
Expanded Awareness hey, yes "psychosis is a "spiritual awakening. Where we are finally being connected and feeling like we should. It breaks my heart that this process isnt understood by medical profession, so they try and take it away. Except they cant..they take the person away
+bellany Yeah i know. Thats why i make videos to try and spread awareness. Medication only holds up the process
Expanded Awareness thats fantastic you do that its really needed in this area. Some times with the medication because it stops so much, can en up leaving the person in an irreversible state.
bellany Thanks, Feel free to subscribe to my channel. I just started couple months ago but have a lot of videos. Hoping people will start seeing my stuff easier when searching
Ive always ask myself,how are the voices they hear? Real voices or thoughts?
My son has this terrible thing and I asked him that question and he said they are very real, as if they were in the room with him, not in his head.
@@shawndella1 im sorry,i hope God gives u both strenght
I had a close encounter with death. I had a dream of heaven. I saw lush grassy narrow mountains.. a waterfall as high as the clouds. Grass reflected rainbow light from the sun. Dragons were everywhere. Around that time I had a dream about a red room with no walls. Jesus was at a peddlestill with a few angles lined up. Then I saw an angle with beautiful armor. There was a small portal of fire that consumed him. Its been a year and a half and I haven't had very many voices to none. Its been bliss but I'm still bipolar. I get tired from my meds. I take them before I go to sleep. Might be a good reason I don't hear voices too.
I also had the same experience of close encounter to death by not breathing the whole time, because I saw "things" on my dream. One time.

They diagnosed me with schizoaffective disorder, but I think I'm experiencing a spiritual awakening, I see animals, and now spectral ghost like figures, I hear my thoughts spoken by people I have met too. Should I b worried
please try not to think this is an awakening. you are experiencing delusions. try to stay in the real world. it's a better place
I have seen spectral ghost like figures and people speak my mind and seem to be possessed by me at times and can read my mind. I think there is a purpose for us...
It's been 3 years how do you feel now?
Thats my old channel, Alf LovesAlf. Thanks for all the comments. I get anxiety a lot now but no delusions.
bro i have the same issue i see dead animals and dark figures ..do what i do surround yourself with things that you love and have the mindset that this moment when you do halucinate
agree that at that very moment your growing and truly believe this cuz its helps the suffering is needed for you to become more awake then most !! i believe my suffering is for a greater purpose for something better in me ..." struggle breeds greatness"..." the first step to peace is to make your 1st step in HELL!!!!!
I will never trust Psychiatrists when I was a young man of 22 a Psychiatrist Dr A Dalton UCH hospital London wc1 This evil Psychiatrist told me that he wanted me to suffer.He also told me he didn't care about me. so much for help the last person I would ask for help is a psychiatrist
rarecockneyguvnor amen brother they are the crazy ones.
Uch health is not good for anyone. It stands for under cover humanoid health. They just conduct experiments. They know what is wrong with you already.
My nurse practitioner shamed me for my suicide attempt, blaming me for not being fixable and for feeling the way I do. She downplayed my issues and showed more annoyance and anger at my problems. I definitely have some animosity and distrust
@@drakevoidwalker Unfortunately this is how some of these menytal health workers are, they can be very cruel.take good care.
As a person who is also diagnosed with schizoaffective , I'm feel so sorry for you guys
Could tripping about 120 times on about 4500 hits of acid over 30 years cause schizophrenia?
Personally don t know. Maybe give it a try and come back and let us know your results ;)
Yes- I have seen schizophrenia from bad acid trips appear in people who have done acid only a few times -being from, Woodstock , NY-It is quite sad to see & know friends who are changed forever by this illness.
The evidence seems to point towards drugs triggering latent schizophrenia, not causing it. So if you're predisposed to it, it definitely could, but if you dont have any risk factor i wouldn't worry about it
😂 not sure if this was meant to be funny, but I think it's funny.
No it requires specifically 4501
Ask this Prof. a question and he talks for half an hour. :O)
In Finland & areas nearby, Psychosis is accepted & the person is spoken with. Not drugged & left alone. See Dialogue Cures for Psychotic Problems with Jaakko Seikkula.
Finland has the highest rate of suicide in people with psychosis if I remember correctly.
In Finland you can be treated for psychotic symptoms even if you never experienced them. They never actually do the work of making differential diagnosis, just medicate you and let the nurses(who have no experience in the differences of diagnosing mental illnesses/neurodevelopmental issues) do the work of making everything you say fit into the boxes the doctor has guessed during one appointment. Nobody's being critical and they just diagnose people with whatever and give mood stabilisers for everyone.
Please read the books of Thomas Szasz
This guy is saying some interesting stuff, but the sound is awful. All the background noises are really distracting and really detract from what’s being said.
Stigma emphasized bc there’s been so little effective psych/ biological treatments to talk about. The “get help” model YT cases who’ve recovered rightfully talk about stigma. And CBT. Better than using icon symbols so ppl can talk back to their voices. The cutting edge? Yes. No. I hope not. P-docs need some place to put declining research $.
wait a damn minute🧍 this guys my cousin
Do not be intimidated by his condescension! I fully recovers from this…! Read Robert Whittakers stuff
Hey Benjamin I’m guessing you have a great voice and can write Well do some music Frind an artist And I’ll write Save him
It sounds very vaguue, This is how doctors talk when they're not confident.
jesus everything is complicated with this professor
I trust no Doctor
dinsdale .. DINSDALE !!
Huh?
THis professor is ignorant, He has no idea
Are you on medication?
