    After hearing his story, what do you wish you knew more about?

    Hospital staff need to be help accountable for their actions. If someone has no patience or empathy, they should never work in a mental facility.

    Brandon is one hell of a guy. A lot of people including myself can learn from his maturity and insight.

    Be strong , I have panic disorder and I suffer with intrusive thoughts. Doctors think I may have OCD or tourette. I was abused at work people bullied me . Plz be strong I know sometimes we feel so bad about ourselves but isn't out our fault to be sick.

    I wonder if the voices he hears are kind of like spiritual guides? Facinating human to listen to, wish him the best

      I know that in other, less individualistic countries, schizophrenics’ voices DO tend to be more positive, even helpful - like ancestors, spirit guides, etc.
      In America they apparently tend to be more angry voices…I’m glad it sounds like that hasn’t been this man’s experience 💜

    • @echoingsnow

      This is Brandon, I would say they sound like Angels not demons. They don't sound like people I know however one is familiar to me when weird stuff happens, I hear "What are they doing to him!?" that is loud as day. They sound like they care and I care for the voices.

    The mother of my children has a similar diagnosis . She started hearing the voices and having delusions after suffering postpartum depression with our 2nd son .. She is currently going through treatment but it still gets intense when she has a on top of the world manic episode .

    Surviving delusions and paranoia is really very hard. It’s like being afraid of your own mind all the times..I hope he is doing well now, may Our Lord bless him and cure him..

    Videos like this need to be played in the facilities for those who are still struggling with understanding or accepting their condition. Should be part of group therapy or an educational activity that can help lead a healthy discussion.

    Really enjoyed this interview. As someone who also has schizoaffective order I found Brandon to be a super down-to-earth likeable guy. He really shows so much strength in how he accepts his symptoms. I also believe in the paranormal and have unfortunately had very close encounters with it. Brandon's insight into this is interesting to say the least. I think this guy is awesome and I hope he prospers! He has a beautiful voice and perspective.

    I've known a few instances of a friend reporting the voices having intuition or talking about something not yet known to later find it to be true. I like hearing other people's experiences to get a better grasp on variance in symptoms. He also reports the voices have always been external and that earplugs DO help.

    How sad that they've labelled this man with an imaginary medical condition instead of trying to understand his delusions, which undoubtedly have their basis in reality.
