As a person with Schizoaffective Disorder, thank you so much for making these wonderful videos for others to understand what yourself and us others go through on a daily basis. You are a queen!
Im in Bridgeport CT and need to find my help for my husband who doesn't think anything is wrong with him. He is getting worse by the minute. Please help us God! Thank you for ur videos! God bless you!!!
Hi you guys. I believe I never left a comment below one of your videos so I thought I’d do it today. I’m an italian 18 years old girl. I don’t suffer from schizophrenia nor I know someone who does. I don’t study psychology in college or anything like that. One day one of your videos popped up in my RUclips feed, I watched it all the way through and subscribed. I admire what you guys do and the knowledge you spread about this topic. People don’t talk about this enough (mental health in general) and stigma is a huge problem involved, too. Just wanted to let you know that although I can’t relate to any of the things you talk about, I try to learn more and more about it because I love how you explain things and I also just find it really interesting. You guys are doing a great job with this channel. considering you are parents, too!✨
Elena Spano I'm very happy that you have taken an interest in learning more about schizophrenia. It can be very lonely, feeling set off from society because of mental illness. But of course, everyone has challenges of some sort. Best wishes to you.
@@RaysDad exactly. Everyone struggles, but the severity of a struggle doesn’t define the pain that comes from it. I’m sorry that it gets lonely, but just know that you aren’t alone.
Just been diagnosed, lost my job 8 months ago and almost lost my house. I’m healthier now, moved back in with my parents, this channel has really helped me traverse through my new normal. Thanks for the quality videos, really helped my parents understand what I’m going though. You’re doing such a service for such a small population, thanks and have a great day :)
I am a Paranoid Schizophrenic myself, but I would not be brave enough to make a video about it, let alone a whole channel. Thank you for spreading awareness and helping with the stigma that comes with this disorder.
I was diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia after a history of paranoid delusions and random hallucinations with an obvious flat affect, this video helps me understand my diagnosis a lot better and what symptoms lead to a diagnosis. I was diagnosed at least twice officially and suspected a few years earlier but symptoms weren’t clear. Thanks for what you do, making the diagnosis more easy to understand.
Well, gotta say that i first clicked on your videos because of genuine interest. But then i found out that Lauren's voice sounds perfect as a sort of background narrator for my daily activities. I think it wouldn't be a stretch to say that an audio book narrated by Lauren would sound amazing!
its programs not a illness medusa silent hearing is one....they have been able to do this since ww1 with radars they have weaponized it and people actually do this to people just to get them to think there schitso
Thank you for posting these. Very informative and very well produced. My brother was one of the 40%. Praying for those who suffer to the point of no hope and complete despair.
Logically I know I have schizophrenia and that it affects every facet of my life. But, at the same time, I feel so guilty and weak and ashamed for my behaviour and lack of achievement because I can't just "suck it up."
Most people just assume you can "suck it all up" and be "resilient" ( a common family and Doctor term - be resilient) I believed for a long time I'm just stupid, forgetful, unskilled, lazy, A FAILURE. I'm starting to learn more now that there is a whole world of people out there that only understand themselves.. and whatever game of life they are playing... and then there is little me in the corner... living a completely different reality.
A very adequate description of schizophrenia. I was able to ignore my symptoms and not believe in them so that they became ineffective and powerless over me.
Love your videos! Can you do some videos on schizotypal, schizoid, and paranoid personality disorder. They are thought to be conected to schizophrenia but there is practically no information about them. Thx 🧡
My experiences of the illness have been all of the symptoms mentioned accept hallucinations. When I have an episode it is usually delusional thoughts only. I first became ill at aged 17. I believe it is due to genetics from one of my parents and the fact that I grew up in an environment that was at times traumatising for me. I am now aged 46 and can still get episodes if I do not look after myself properly. Fortunately most of the time I am well and just take a small dose of an antipsychotic as a preventative measure to keep me balanced.
I am a functioning schizophrenic like you. I can handle my business and money but I'm still crazy. My grandma said if you know your crazy your not crazy...🤗
In May of 2013, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia, paranoid schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder and bipolar disorder. When I was diagnosed, I went to the hospital psych ward for a couple weeks so I could start treatment. I been on multiple different medications. The two that I highly don't recommend is risperdol (I spelled it wrong I think) and vraylar. I been seeing my doctors (yes doctors cause they are med students and I get a new one each year) and all of them asks "how are you doing" , "do I been seeing things or hearing things others can't", "thoughts on wanting to harm myself or others", etc. The only question I'm highly honest on is the one about harming myself or others. Even though I don't have thoughts on harming myself, I tell all my doctors the same answer which was I wanted to harm my dad. Also, I remember telling a female med student that was my doctor that I wanted to strangle my previous doctor before her cause he took me off the medicine that worked best for me and put me on vraylar. During that year on vraylar, I got less amount of sleep and was up days to weeks at a time off of 15 minutes to a hour of sleep. When I got the female doctor, I was happy and she was pretty cool and I requested to be back on my medicine that worked best for me and she did. To fast forward, I went years with it under control until 2 months ago. I relapsed hard. I was hearing voices and they told me to kill myself, I was worthless, etc. I checked myself into the hospital psych ward then I was transported to a mental health facility that was a 2 hour drive from my home. The doctor kept me on my favorite medicine but requested that I try another type of medicine with it. It worked but when I had to see my doctor at that time after receiving treatment, he took me off the medicine that I been on for years and kept me on the one I was prescribed at the mental health facility. My current doctor is nice and I made the same request that I made to the female doctor years ago which was to put me back on the medicine I was on. He did and increase the dosage. I haven't relapsed or anything in 2 months now. I started keeping a journal on my day to day progress and explain what I did to combat the negativity and stay on a positive path. Not alot of people from my family knows I have these things but I will do my best to educate people on it. Sorry for the long post. I was just sharing my experience and things.
I‘d love you to do some research on the topic schizophrenia as a brain disease or as the outcome of autoimmune reactions of the brain. There‘s psychiatrists that try to proof that schizophrenia is not a psychiatric diagnosis but a brain disease and that we looked at the diagnosis in a wrong way before. There have been cases where scientists founded some sort of autoimmune-gens in the brains of people diagnosed with schizophrenia. There were patients which haven’t noticed any change from psychotherapy and antipsychotics or other medical treatment and then got treated with cortison and their schizophrenia got way better, because it was caused by an autoimmune-reaction of their brains. Me as a person with an autoimmune disease found that very interesting. Some psychiatrists say that those achievements may start a revolution on the treatment of schizophrenia. I think that’s pretty amazing.
Even antipsychotics, somehow lower your immune response, but they can cause diabetes, which promotes inflammation in gut, and other diseases. I think they harm you more even in positive symptoms in longer term. There are hypotheses about immune system from i think 1980s. But theres been discovered autoimmune encephalitis against nmda receptors, that nicely mimicks symptoms of schizophrenia.
My experience was that it destroyed my life. Family ashamed of me no job no friends because they "can't handle me " when I have moments. And I live in a beat up van so people call the cops on me because I'm creepy. Yeah... Sometimes its a no win.
Hi , thank you for this 😊, I was wondering if you could make a more encompassing video some day on what schizophrenia is/ how it's seen in other countries. The western big pharma, "medication for life" model is not the only one. And there has been valid studies that show people do heal from schizophrenia and/ or do MUCH better in certain other countries of the world that treat the disease differently.
I would say America is the best because, in the Old World, those diagnosed with this disorder are said to be demon-possessed and incurable. That is why i will not travel outside this country. I am afraid of something crazy like capture happening.
@@saahibaalimzafir598 I advise Mad in America by Robert Whitaker to open up your horizon about how schizophrenics have been treated by the "developed " western world since the beginning of time. There is no one truth. Everyone benefits from different treatments.
@@anabarnes4654 thanks for the recommendation. I will put it on my "to read" list. But you don't think social context has anything to do with the manner in which this diagnosis is stigmatized?
@@saahibaalimzafir598 I definitely think it does , however the DSM doesn't take it into account and imposes it's model on the world, disregarding other practices. As mentioned in this video, it's enough to have had one psychosis to be labelled and medicated for life , which is not how certain other cultures go about and the outcomes are often much better. It truly is just a matter of looking at records. Generally the classification outlined in this video ( drawn from the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders DSM-5) , does not only solely apply to the west but is also made/ decided on by a bunch of old white male psychiatrists that often have ties to the pharma industry. And come up with new diseases with ever DSM edition , needless to say it's not very objective . That's why I thought a more encompassing video could be beneficial 😊✨💕
@@anabarnes4654 It makes more sense now. But I guess I was saying it would be retrospective and counterproductive to American practitioners to complete a study of the type we are discussing. My reasoning derives from history and the manner in which other regions approached the diagnosis.
Thanks for these educational videos ..can you please give us ideas about medicine you are on for better benefit? I know that what works for a certain person may not work the same efficiently to another..but it still helps to give some try in cretical cases when psychosis attacks
My daughter has informed me of a syndrome where people can see sound and hear sight. I had this happen to me when in the most intense throes of my positive hallucination symptoms period in my life. Sound occured in prism refractory visual experiences and sight was a form very difficult to express but like an audial premonition but it was happening in front of me. I just dismissed this as hallucinations I needed to steer away from and sad to see them go but knew it all had to be dumped or none of it would be dumped. I learned self-directed behaviourally to shut down hallucinations. It takes a few years to get real control over the switch. And you gotta eat well and take care of yourself. Etc Anyway, interesting about the Savant switch.
Lauren - You present a very tough topic with such incredible grace, it’s really an amazing gift that you have. I can only imagine how much help you are providing to people that suffer with this disorder.
Great work wish u the best hope all peeps have a nice life ive had schizo affective since i was 18 and now im 33 still alive lol and taking my meds no most of the time not violent us schizos but people who r can react to how u r presenting when ur ill and attack u i was attacked and my leg broke 7 years ago now im in good health and have been for a solid 5 yeara both jabs of covid looking to future take care guys x
Do you have any tips for maybe bringing up the possibility that someone you love should possibly get checked for schizophrenia? My partner has a lot of similar symptoms that you described in your prodromal phase, and I know a lot of them are also symptoms of other mental illnesses, but I am very worried for them and their current therapy and treatment isn't helping them. I want to help them get help, because they are miserable and there's nothing I can really do currently
i have been suffering from an eating disorder for 20 years. i was refused help from my state's (USA) only eating disorder clinic when they heard that i had schizophrenia: they refused both inpatient and outpatient help because to them i was considered a danger to their other patients and practitioners. the clinic said that because i have schizophrenia, my problem was behavioural, and not an eating disorder. they suggested i go to a mental hospital (which i have been to 4 times last year: they don't have any means to help with eating disorders). i can't find any professional who will work with me on eating disorders AND schizophrenia. i don't know what to do other than try to live day by day, quietly and discreetly. alone.
I have a friend. He is very different from other people. He have all the symptoms of schizophrenia and many other symptoms of Bpd, Cptsd. His symptoms are so diverse, they extend over 3 different mental disorders, easily. Alas , he doesnt feel sick nor helpless. In fact, he has super human powers. Mostly ESP augmented sensory modes. He is not quite human. Not anymore. Can a person gain such powers, out of mental disorders? Or is it that mental disorders, are manifestations of latent super human powers?
I wonder, is there a possibility for someone with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder not to be diagnosed or to be misdiagnosed even at the age of 40? Is it the condition that could remain unclear or there's no way it could be missed by specialists for so long?
@@therealmayac Well, I believe, people get their diagnosis in case they come to the doctor and tell them specific things. But what if a person never tells a doctor about seeing things that aren't there, or hearing sounds, voices or smells etc.? In my experience, doctors never ask anything to get a more clear and accurate, and wider picture of their patient. Once, in Spain, I came to the specialist and told "I probably have high-functioning ASD", and the doctor started with that, later I was diagnosed with Asperger's. Later I moved to another country and specialists here are trying to avoid diagnose adults with any kind of ASD, so they assigned me to another diagnosis (BPD) which I definitely do not have, it's just way too different from my personality. But never, not a single time any doctor asked me if I see things, if I hear sounds or voices, do I have paranoid thoughts or not. I guess, not everyone knows what exactly is normal for everyone and what is not, what to tell a doctor and what is not necessary. Probably, if I would come to a specialist with the idea "I probably have schizoaffective d.", I could get completely another diagnosis, who knows. Many people believe that psychosis and paranoia are common for ASD, as well as for BP, and schizophrenia. It's not quite clear how to tell them apart in many cases. To this very day, I am not that sure what exactly do I have. True, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar are stigmatised, as well as are borderline, ASD, and many others.
I have both DID and psychosis and I'm very tired of the doctors in the country I live now not wanting to help me or believing what I'm experiencing. It's very invalidating and tiring.
At the age of 5, I was terrorized by living paintings. They will yell at me,telling me I was worthless, stupid, useless, hated, and that I should die. For ten years I refused to have any pictures on my walls. I drew, but never finished anything bc I was afraid it will come to life. I also made sure none of my blood touched any image. Every picture and books were hidden and covered when ever not in use. It took a lot of courage to get over this fear of pictures. Luckily it's over. Unfortunately my other Demons have not gone away. Still debating if I should get therapy. I'm afraid they will not understand and will be left baffled at my experiences.
Hey Lauren, sounds like you've been working on your voice! I don't hear nearly the amount of vocal fry as I used to. Keep up the amazing work and give baby Theo a boop on the nose for me! 💖🤍💖🤍
in my experience, I feel if I knew what accounts as an episode, then I could prevent or reduce the chances of them occurring. happening. but no one in my support group has the answers to this. I assume an episode occurs when the reality is lost. so i guess are we then talking about a focus in one of my parts (taken from ifs theraphy) which becomes lost in daily routines? I have always wanted to know what psychologists mean by "reality." And can or are symptoms the reality of this disorder?
The DSM actually rules out drug induced conditions for pretty much any mental illness diagnosis last I read. Diagnostic criteria for almost all mental illnesses requires they be present outside of intoxication or withdrawal from substances. That said, drug induced psychosis is real (just in its own category as subsequent to substance use or substance use disorders and a limited condition with near-guaranteed recovery once one is detoxed and out of withdrawal) and I'm glad you recovered from that!
@@katieblue6053 I'm not disagreeing with you Katie, I'm disagreeing with the DSM. The point I'm making is, the symptoms are the same! 'stay off hard drugs' did you know alcohol and some pharmaceutical drugs are more harmful than illegal drugs?
I got a question my doctors keep on ignoring me. I’ve got new doctors in happens multiple times. I’ve got Medicare and Medicaid I take RESPA down to milligrams. Is there any natural meds to replace those?
miss Loren, i do not know if you can reply to me. you claim you are diagnosed with schizoaffevctive disorder. i have Schizoaffective Depressive type. what type do you have and can you do a detailed video on the differences between affective and phrenia and the types. i am very curious. no one talks about affective depressive type in detail.
Hey :) Lauren has a video titled "What is Schizoaffective Disorder" on her channel. I don't remember everything she says in it but I think she answers most of your questions in that video :)
Didn't know I had this tbh, I've been feeling off for sometime and I couldn't figure why, I tried to get over it and I'm doing better but it still takes time
How does a person with this disorder understand that they have it? my son may have weed induced schizophrenia disorder but won't Evan hear of it from anyone dtrs, specialists and has had pychos
Low carb diet www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/diagnosis-diet/201709/low-carbohydrate-diet-superior-antipsychotic-medications And get proper examination, like lumbal puncture
for me schizophrenia was starting with voice hearing when i heard conversation in the background. it progressed with hearing voices slightly even when there was noone talking. there were feelings of sorts also which were a sort of drive to harm someone innocent which feelings i dont like. thought i have implants and people are against me. there was also hallucination about shit but i did not see pictures otherwise. then as i was lonely rejected by girls not trying with girls with whom i fell in love with (there were quite some girls i fell in love with) and once as i was angry (about my life) i shattered a window of my neighbour with a stick then he came out and started hitting my head with a baseball bat. i got concussion damage from wich i healed taking 600 miligrams of ibuprofen daily (i was 75 kilogram).. although utilization for healing the central nervous system was experimental at the time. what was with concussoin is eyes moving seeing little circles and feeling like chocking when i swallowed food or my saliva (i was drooling at night). after 15 month total of taking ibuprofen and it removed all these symptoms. then on the internet i came accross an article about a 6 years old girl who was killed by someone. this 6 years old girl was looking like the daughter of a youtuber. from then onwards when i was reading "many" i hallucinated (not hearing but in the imagination hearing) someone saying "murder Annie". so i was replacing the word many with "numerous" or a "lot" but i had this hallucination about corrupt police officers saying or appearing and commenting on things.. then also these volumetric hallucinations came where i felt like as if someone is associated with a body of volume being torn or squuzed or when i was eating ground with teeth. My brain was also "spinning" once and causing horrible hallucinations. i was not washing teeth because that physical movement was also bad. I had also a hallucination that the volume in which i reside would be full.I gave up on posting my suggestions during a time where hallucinations were continous. I was hospitalized and given another medication. (i was hospitalized with voicehearing in Hungary the first time the second time i was hospitalized in Ukraine). the first medication Seroquel was not working for long and when i had this volumetric hallucinations with seeing pictures in the imagination seroquel made my brain spinning although lover then when once it was spinning. Risperidone helped me reducing the hallucinations. I am taking it up to today. but it has a sideeffect of wanting to walk back and forth. recently a couple of techniques was offered by psychologists. one technique was not working for long, the technique of interpretting hallucination as a forced offer and declining the thought seems working somewhat (although it is newly utilized)
I just lay in bed most days. The meds don't help but knowing it's not real now has been. I was just hospitalized about a month or two ago for the first time at 27. I feel like my entire life has been a delusion
When they say genetic and environmental i think they mean environmental factors increase risk of schizophrenia developing, but is is pretty much all genetics. there is something called a de novo mutation where the mutation starts randomly with someone and wasn't in the family. also schizophrenia is on the same gene variants as autism, adhd, anxiety, ID, LD, and more. so maybe there is someone in your family with any psychiatric disorder, they could have the gene variant too, or it could have started with you! -- a psychiatric genetic researcher :)
All you do is list symptoms but that doesn't explain what schizophrenia is. For this you have to turn to philosophy and psychoanalysis. Schizophrenia is a problem of the (sex) drives. It's not however a problem with the content of the drives, like in neurosis, where the neurotic experiences a conflict between the content of the drives and his ideal self. No, the problem in schizophrenia is the quiddity of the drives, the nature of the drives themself. The drives don't care about the mind (body). In schizophrenia the drives (urges) are real close to the skin and cause fear, paranoia and disintegration. Dissociation, hallucination, catatonia are actually defense mechanisms against the unbearable drives. Schizophrenic madness is self-regulation of the drives (that does not always work well). Furthermore the schizophrenic is not split from 'reality'. The schizophrenic is unbearably close to the Real (the drives). While normal people (neurotics) are cut off from the Real by the imaginary and symbolic order. Pleasure must be conquered on the drives. That's where the self-regulation comes in, like how you need a guidance system in your house for the water drift, or the drift would just break through the (schizophrenic) wall and wash everything away.
You might wonder if schizophrenia is self-regulation of the drives, what regulates the drives of normal people (neurotics)? That answer is simple: Oedipus and the demands of the social organism for a socially productive sexuality. In the schizophrenic the oedipalization did not take hold. The phallus itself is adrift and can not assert its authority.
The libido loses its stickiness, the schizophrenic's urges have surpassed the world and have withdrawn into the self. The schizophrenic is thus exposed to the shocks and intensities of an inverted libido. To make a long story short: the schizophrenic is not so much moved by the urges as he is swept away by them.
Just one more thing I'd like to point out: the high prevalence of schizophrenia among 'drifters' (the homeless). "This prevalence rate rises to about 92% among those who are street homeless."
I have a thought for you. The thought comes from my experience with someone who is autistic. People thought that individual was stupid, but my take on the situation was and what I learned was that his brain worked extremely fast. A genius if you will, but he lacked social skills. With that in mind, I'm thinking that perhaps schizophrenia is also a disease we don't know exactly what it is or perhaps we don't call it what it really is. By that I mean these episodes that the individual experiences perhaps they're real. Only you could answer that for me, You having schizophrenia I would give value and wait to your thoughts. I'm wondering if by chance with what we are learning in the world today, that everything we were taught was wrong and it's just the opposite... that maybe, just maybe, people with schizophrenia are the sane ones.? I welcome your thoughts on this. God bless you sweetheart.
Some cultures do believe so. But I think it's a rather harmful sentiment as it supports the delusions and hallucinations of those suffering from psychosis. And take for example thought broadcasting. Can you actually hear the thoughts of a schizophrenic person who thinks their thoughts are broadcasted to those around them? Or do you think other people can? Would it make sense for different schizophrenic people to have different hallucinations in the same room if those hallucinations were actually "real"? Most of the time delusions, hallucinations and other symptoms are just plain stressful for the ones affected and are definitely no "enlightment" (and on the other hand are no "possession by demons" either). It's just a very difficult brain disease.

it was probably among your ancestors in the family, which you may not even know about. genes can come from very far away.
I'm schizoaffective/depressive type. I don't understand how you can put your face on the internet. They will get you. They always do. Put the mark on you "schizophrenic" lock you away. Lunacy.
I’m starting to think this channel is a one note piney. Gets a little old. MY ILLNESS MY ILLNESS EWW WOW IS ME. I get it this content has helped me but change it up gurl ur smarter then that
My mind on to about 1000 different things at a time! So I lose vocabulary when talking boring stuff. I believe in God and have seen some crazy crap! Also, had witnesses. Soooo .... I Guess I'm just scitzo!!🤪
Not bashing you! I'm different. And I want others who are different not feel they have disorder, err. Mental illness. Necessarily. God is Real. There are 'things that go bump in the night.' Those like me, bump! Back! And as for the word salad, sometimes, smart people don't fully engage with dumb people and are surprised when they pay attention!😅
its a program called medusa silent hearing i hate to break it to you but its radars and cell towers.there is no such thing as this mental disorder its microwave hearing modified radars and frequencys they do this to allot of people its a game to them.
@@iOSsynth enjoy not learning about tech that has been here for decades and it does not make u paranoia just hear chatbots around u not in your head they use microwave and artificial telepathy can be done with cell carriers
@@iOSsynth actually i do know the tech in detail.and if u think a tin foil hat can block this tech out u have allot to learn.certain radars penetrate threw everything as well as certain frequencys meaning this tech can go threw the ground certain microwaves penetrate all metals walls bricks wood and whatever u can throw out there.this was weaponized for the military this is how they find people in caves they can detect your heart beat threw any building standing or not standing this is how they find people in earth quakes...what i would like to do with it? find the pos people that use this on people for no reason just cause they have access to it...if you would like some links on active denial systems or medusa silent hearing or how this tech was invented and works just let me know..befor assuming someone is schitso please do some research on tech that can do this such as modified radar frequencys and audiospotlights as well as lrads
Hi, thank you for sharing these videos. It helps me get to know myself better, & understand my symptoms. I have a question for you, or anyone willing to answer, but I don't know if you'll see this. Do your meds make you stumble around & bump into things often, or drop things? I'm dealing with this issue since my meds were increased. I also cannot seem to fight off the drowsiness from morning medications. Looking forward to an answer to my concerns. Great channel, too, btw.
I was just Diagnosed with schizophrenia.. I Doo flip out alot mostly in fear.. My bf Constantly called Me a Psycho Fkin Bitch.. Which sets Me off Even Worse.. Than He Threats of Bakker acting Me..and Than I Flippppp Out Even More.. What Can I Doo.. I'm Losing My Mind..idk What ta Doo Anymore..

Thank you for posting these. Very informative and very well produced. My brother was one of the 40%. Praying for those who suffer to the point of no hope and complete despair.
Logically I know I have schizophrenia and that it affects every facet of my life. But, at the same time, I feel so guilty and weak and ashamed for my behaviour and lack of achievement because I can't just "suck it up."
Most people just assume you can "suck it all up" and be "resilient" ( a common family and Doctor term - be resilient) I believed for a long time I'm just stupid, forgetful, unskilled, lazy, A FAILURE. I'm starting to learn more now that there is a whole world of people out there that only understand themselves.. and whatever game of life they are playing... and then there is little me in the corner... living a completely different reality.
I do not have schizophrenia but i admire kind thoughtful people......
A very adequate description of schizophrenia. I was able to ignore my symptoms and not believe in them so that they became ineffective and powerless over me.
Love your videos! Can you do some videos on schizotypal, schizoid, and paranoid personality disorder. They are thought to be conected to schizophrenia but there is practically no information about them. Thx 🧡
My experiences of the illness have been all of the symptoms mentioned accept hallucinations. When I have an episode it is usually delusional thoughts only. I first became ill at aged 17. I believe it is due to genetics from one of my parents and the fact that I grew up in an environment that was at times traumatising for me. I am now aged 46 and can still get episodes if I do not look after myself properly. Fortunately most of the time I am well and just take a small dose of an antipsychotic as a preventative measure to keep me balanced.
Did you sleep alot? What other symptoms did you have please.
I am a functioning schizophrenic like you. I can handle my business and money but I'm still crazy. My grandma said if you know your crazy your not crazy...🤗
Thanks Lauren! Your videos are always informative & helpful.
It's so fascinating because it's so complex. It's so complex that researchers don't even consider it as a single monolithic disease.
Thank you for always being real. I am always encouraged
I like how you mention schizoaffective in the beginning. You look like you are doing very well today!
In May of 2013, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia, paranoid schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder and bipolar disorder. When I was diagnosed, I went to the hospital psych ward for a couple weeks so I could start treatment. I been on multiple different medications. The two that I highly don't recommend is risperdol (I spelled it wrong I think) and vraylar. I been seeing my doctors (yes doctors cause they are med students and I get a new one each year) and all of them asks "how are you doing" , "do I been seeing things or hearing things others can't", "thoughts on wanting to harm myself or others", etc. The only question I'm highly honest on is the one about harming myself or others. Even though I don't have thoughts on harming myself, I tell all my doctors the same answer which was I wanted to harm my dad. Also, I remember telling a female med student that was my doctor that I wanted to strangle my previous doctor before her cause he took me off the medicine that worked best for me and put me on vraylar. During that year on vraylar, I got less amount of sleep and was up days to weeks at a time off of 15 minutes to a hour of sleep. When I got the female doctor, I was happy and she was pretty cool and I requested to be back on my medicine that worked best for me and she did. To fast forward, I went years with it under control until 2 months ago. I relapsed hard. I was hearing voices and they told me to kill myself, I was worthless, etc. I checked myself into the hospital psych ward then I was transported to a mental health facility that was a 2 hour drive from my home. The doctor kept me on my favorite medicine but requested that I try another type of medicine with it. It worked but when I had to see my doctor at that time after receiving treatment, he took me off the medicine that I been on for years and kept me on the one I was prescribed at the mental health facility. My current doctor is nice and I made the same request that I made to the female doctor years ago which was to put me back on the medicine I was on. He did and increase the dosage. I haven't relapsed or anything in 2 months now. I started keeping a journal on my day to day progress and explain what I did to combat the negativity and stay on a positive path. Not alot of people from my family knows I have these things but I will do my best to educate people on it.
Sorry for the long post. I was just sharing my experience and things.
I‘d love you to do some research on the topic schizophrenia as a brain disease or as the outcome of autoimmune reactions of the brain. There‘s psychiatrists that try to proof that schizophrenia is not a psychiatric diagnosis but a brain disease and that we looked at the diagnosis in a wrong way before. There have been cases where scientists founded some sort of autoimmune-gens in the brains of people diagnosed with schizophrenia. There were patients which haven’t noticed any change from psychotherapy and antipsychotics or other medical treatment and then got treated with cortison and their schizophrenia got way better, because it was caused by an autoimmune-reaction of their brains. Me as a person with an autoimmune disease found that very interesting. Some psychiatrists say that those achievements may start a revolution on the treatment of schizophrenia. I think that’s pretty amazing.
Even antipsychotics, somehow lower your immune response, but they can cause diabetes, which promotes inflammation in gut, and other diseases. I think they harm you more even in positive symptoms in longer term. There are hypotheses about immune system from i think 1980s. But theres been discovered autoimmune encephalitis against nmda receptors, that nicely mimicks symptoms of schizophrenia.
My experience was that it destroyed my life. Family ashamed of me no job no friends because they "can't handle me " when I have moments. And I live in a beat up van so people call the cops on me because I'm creepy. Yeah... Sometimes its a no win.
🙏🙏🙏 I love and respect this channel 🙏🙏🙏
You should talk about the neuroscience behind schizophrenia!
There is something very real about you. Thank you for your videos
Hi , thank you for this 😊, I was wondering if you could make a more encompassing video some day on what schizophrenia is/ how it's seen in other countries. The western big pharma, "medication for life" model is not the only one. And there has been valid studies that show people do heal from schizophrenia and/ or do MUCH better in certain other countries of the world that treat the disease differently.
I would say America is the best because, in the Old World, those diagnosed with this disorder are said to be demon-possessed and incurable. That is why i will not travel outside this country. I am afraid of something crazy like capture happening.
@@saahibaalimzafir598 I advise Mad in America by Robert Whitaker to open up your horizon about how schizophrenics have been treated by the "developed " western world since the beginning of time. There is no one truth. Everyone benefits from different treatments.
@@anabarnes4654 thanks for the recommendation. I will put it on my "to read" list. But you don't think social context has anything to do with the manner in which this diagnosis is stigmatized?
@@saahibaalimzafir598 I definitely think it does , however the DSM doesn't take it into account and imposes it's model on the world, disregarding other practices.
As mentioned in this video, it's enough to have had one psychosis to be labelled and medicated for life , which is not how certain other cultures go about and the outcomes are often much better. It truly is just a matter of looking at records.
Generally the classification outlined in this video ( drawn from the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders DSM-5) , does not only solely apply to the west but is also made/ decided on by a bunch of old white male psychiatrists that often have ties to the pharma industry. And come up with new diseases with ever DSM edition , needless to say it's not very objective .
That's why I thought a more encompassing video could be beneficial 😊✨💕
@@anabarnes4654 It makes more sense now. But I guess I was saying it would be retrospective and counterproductive to American practitioners to complete a study of the type we are discussing. My reasoning derives from history and the manner in which other regions approached the diagnosis.
You are amazing 👏❤
wish i was this successful on RUclips with my schizophrenia like you are
Thanks for these educational videos ..can you please give us ideas about medicine you are on for better benefit? I know that what works for a certain person may not work the same efficiently to another..but it still helps to give some try in cretical cases when psychosis attacks
I have Schizophrenia and this was very insightful. Will I always have to be on medication for the rest of my life?
Try mindfulness meditation it will help
My daughter has informed me of a syndrome where people can see sound and hear sight. I had this happen to me when in the most intense throes of my positive hallucination symptoms period in my life. Sound occured in prism refractory visual experiences and sight was a form very difficult to express but like an audial premonition but it was happening in front of me.
I just dismissed this as hallucinations I needed to steer away from and sad to see them go but knew it all had to be dumped or none of it would be dumped. I learned self-directed behaviourally to shut down hallucinations. It takes a few years to get real control over the switch. And you gotta eat well and take care of yourself. Etc
Anyway, interesting about the Savant switch.
Lauren - You present a very tough topic with such incredible grace, it’s really an amazing gift that you have. I can only imagine how much help you are providing to people that suffer with this disorder.
Great work wish u the best hope all peeps have a nice life ive had schizo affective since i was 18 and now im 33 still alive lol and taking my meds no most of the time not violent us schizos but people who r can react to how u r presenting when ur ill and attack u i was attacked and my leg broke 7 years ago now im in good health and have been for a solid 5 yeara both jabs of covid looking to future take care guys x
Do you have any tips for maybe bringing up the possibility that someone you love should possibly get checked for schizophrenia? My partner has a lot of similar symptoms that you described in your prodromal phase, and I know a lot of them are also symptoms of other mental illnesses, but I am very worried for them and their current therapy and treatment isn't helping them. I want to help them get help, because they are miserable and there's nothing I can really do currently
Always so informative 💜. Thank you Lauren
Nice basic summary. One percent of the population have schizophrenia worldwide. That’s a lot. ThinkingPsych, Steven Lesk, MD
i have been suffering from an eating disorder for 20 years. i was refused help from my state's (USA) only eating disorder clinic when they heard that i had schizophrenia: they refused both inpatient and outpatient help because to them i was considered a danger to their other patients and practitioners. the clinic said that because i have schizophrenia, my problem was behavioural, and not an eating disorder. they suggested i go to a mental hospital (which i have been to 4 times last year: they don't have any means to help with eating disorders). i can't find any professional who will work with me on eating disorders AND schizophrenia. i don't know what to do other than try to live day by day, quietly and discreetly. alone.
I have a friend. He is very different from other people. He have all the symptoms of schizophrenia and many other symptoms of Bpd, Cptsd.
His symptoms are so diverse, they extend over 3 different mental disorders, easily.
Alas , he doesnt feel sick nor helpless.
In fact, he has super human powers.
Mostly ESP augmented sensory modes.
He is not quite human. Not anymore.
Can a person gain such powers, out of mental disorders?
Or is it that mental disorders, are manifestations of latent super human powers?
I wonder, is there a possibility for someone with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder not to be diagnosed or to be misdiagnosed even at the age of 40? Is it the condition that could remain unclear or there's no way it could be missed by specialists for so long?
@@therealmayac Well, I believe, people get their diagnosis in case they come to the doctor and tell them specific things. But what if a person never tells a doctor about seeing things that aren't there, or hearing sounds, voices or smells etc.? In my experience, doctors never ask anything to get a more clear and accurate, and wider picture of their patient.
Once, in Spain, I came to the specialist and told "I probably have high-functioning ASD", and the doctor started with that, later I was diagnosed with Asperger's. Later I moved to another country and specialists here are trying to avoid diagnose adults with any kind of ASD, so they assigned me to another diagnosis (BPD) which I definitely do not have, it's just way too different from my personality.
But never, not a single time any doctor asked me if I see things, if I hear sounds or voices, do I have paranoid thoughts or not. I guess, not everyone knows what exactly is normal for everyone and what is not, what to tell a doctor and what is not necessary. Probably, if I would come to a specialist with the idea "I probably have schizoaffective d.", I could get completely another diagnosis, who knows.
Many people believe that psychosis and paranoia are common for ASD, as well as for BP, and schizophrenia. It's not quite clear how to tell them apart in many cases. To this very day, I am not that sure what exactly do I have.
True, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar are stigmatised, as well as are borderline, ASD, and many others.
This is very interesting, I enjoyed watching and learning about Schizophrenia :)
I have both DID and psychosis and I'm very tired of the doctors in the country I live now not wanting to help me or believing what I'm experiencing. It's very invalidating and tiring.
At the age of 5, I was terrorized by living paintings. They will yell at me,telling me I was worthless, stupid, useless, hated, and that I should die. For ten years I refused to have any pictures on my walls. I drew, but never finished anything bc I was afraid it will come to life. I also made sure none of my blood touched any image. Every picture and books were hidden and covered when ever not in use. It took a lot of courage to get over this fear of pictures. Luckily it's over. Unfortunately my other Demons have not gone away. Still debating if I should get therapy. I'm afraid they will not understand and will be left baffled at my experiences.
Hey Lauren, sounds like you've been working on your voice! I don't hear nearly the amount of vocal fry as I used to. Keep up the amazing work and give baby Theo a boop on the nose for me! 💖🤍💖🤍
You are nothing short of amazing
in my experience, I feel if I knew what accounts as an episode, then I could prevent or reduce the chances of them occurring. happening. but no one in my support group has the answers to this. I assume an episode occurs when the reality is lost. so i guess are we then talking about a focus in one of my parts (taken from ifs theraphy) which becomes lost in daily routines? I have always wanted to know what psychologists mean by "reality." And can or are symptoms the reality of this disorder?
Excellent
I love this channel.
♥️⚘thank you for the video.
According to the DSM 5, my drug induced psychosis was schitzophrenia 🤔
I don't think that's something you suffer long term once you detox fully from the drugs... Very different.
@@katieblue6053 I can understand why you think that. Unfortunately many people do suffer from it long term
The DSM actually rules out drug induced conditions for pretty much any mental illness diagnosis last I read. Diagnostic criteria for almost all mental illnesses requires they be present outside of intoxication or withdrawal from substances. That said, drug induced psychosis is real (just in its own category as subsequent to substance use or substance use disorders and a limited condition with near-guaranteed recovery once one is detoxed and out of withdrawal) and I'm glad you recovered from that!
@@layotheleprechaun not in the same way a person with life long schizophrenia has, sorry. Just stay off hard drugs.
@@katieblue6053 I'm not disagreeing with you Katie, I'm disagreeing with the DSM.
The point I'm making is, the symptoms are the same!
'stay off hard drugs' did you know alcohol and some pharmaceutical drugs are more harmful than illegal drugs?
I got a question my doctors keep on ignoring me. I’ve got new doctors in happens multiple times. I’ve got Medicare and Medicaid I take RESPA down to milligrams. Is there any natural meds to replace those?
miss Loren, i do not know if you can reply to me. you claim you are diagnosed with schizoaffevctive disorder. i have Schizoaffective Depressive type. what type do you have and can you do a detailed video on the differences between affective and phrenia and the types. i am very curious. no one talks about affective depressive type in detail.
Hey :) Lauren has a video titled "What is Schizoaffective Disorder" on her channel. I don't remember everything she says in it but I think she answers most of your questions in that video :)
Didn't know I had this tbh, I've been feeling off for sometime and I couldn't figure why, I tried to get over it and I'm doing better but it still takes time
How does a person with this disorder understand that they have it? my son may have weed induced schizophrenia disorder but won't Evan hear of it from anyone dtrs, specialists and has had pychos
Do you have any advice for someome.who is treatment resistant with anti-psychotics
Cbt
@@chapstic593 what is cbt?
@@vickyboggs9349 cognative behavioral therapy. Anti psychotics are just a tool the real treatment is cbt.
I do therapy

Thank you for this
for me schizophrenia was starting with voice hearing when i heard conversation in the background.
it progressed with hearing voices slightly even when there was noone talking.
there were feelings of sorts also which were a sort of drive to harm someone innocent which feelings i dont like. thought i have implants and people are against me. there was also hallucination about shit but i did not see pictures otherwise.
then as i was lonely rejected by girls not trying with girls with whom i fell in love with (there were quite some girls i fell in love with)
and once as i was angry (about my life) i shattered a window of my neighbour with a stick then he came out and started hitting my head with a baseball bat. i got concussion damage from wich i healed taking 600 miligrams of ibuprofen daily (i was 75 kilogram).. although utilization for healing the central nervous system was experimental at the time. what was with concussoin is eyes moving seeing little circles and feeling like chocking when i swallowed food or my saliva (i was drooling at night). after 15 month total of taking ibuprofen and it removed all these symptoms.
then on the internet i came accross an article about a 6 years old girl who was killed by someone. this 6 years old girl was looking like the daughter of a youtuber. from then onwards when i was reading "many" i hallucinated (not hearing but in the imagination hearing) someone saying "murder Annie". so i was replacing the word many with "numerous" or a "lot" but i had this hallucination about corrupt police officers saying or appearing and commenting on things.. then also these volumetric hallucinations came where i felt like as if someone is associated with a body of volume being torn or squuzed or when i was eating ground with teeth.
My brain was also "spinning" once and causing horrible hallucinations. i was not washing teeth because that physical movement was also bad. I had also a hallucination that the volume in which i reside would be full.I gave up on posting my suggestions during a time where hallucinations were continous. I was hospitalized and given another medication. (i was hospitalized with voicehearing in Hungary the first time the second time i was hospitalized in Ukraine).
the first medication Seroquel was not working for long and when i had this volumetric hallucinations with seeing pictures in the imagination seroquel made my brain spinning although lover then when once it was spinning. Risperidone helped me reducing the hallucinations. I am taking it up to today. but it has a sideeffect of wanting to walk back and forth.
recently a couple of techniques was offered by psychologists. one technique was not working for long, the technique of interpretting hallucination as a forced offer and declining the thought seems working somewhat (although it is newly utilized)
♥️⚘stay strong my dear
I have schizoaffective I've been diagnosed since 2012
I have most of these, wtf man? Why is this happening to me? Pls help how can I fix this?
I would love to talk to you about my schizophrenia
Schizophrenia vs DID ? explanation please
i can email anyone a copy of the dsm 5. it is the full book in pdf.
I haven't had any of the three classification since i was diagnosed early 18, the closet experience i had was going cold turkey of the meds
If anyone is on alcohol, please try to get off this substance in the context of treating any other condition you’re experiencing.
Do symptoms change with age?
Thank you for this, you are very high function, schizophrenia, I'm not
I just lay in bed most days. The meds don't help but knowing it's not real now has been. I was just hospitalized about a month or two ago for the first time at 27. I feel like my entire life has been a delusion
When they say genetic and environmental i think they mean environmental factors increase risk of schizophrenia developing, but is is pretty much all genetics. there is something called a de novo mutation where the mutation starts randomly with someone and wasn't in the family. also schizophrenia is on the same gene variants as autism, adhd, anxiety, ID, LD, and more. so maybe there is someone in your family with any psychiatric disorder, they could have the gene variant too, or it could have started with you!
-- a psychiatric genetic researcher :)
So anyone can get it anytime? Or do you need to be born with it
Thanks

Ever thought about getting into acting on a television show? :)
Yeah but what happens to the brain
All you do is list symptoms but that doesn't explain what schizophrenia is. For this you have to turn to philosophy and psychoanalysis.
Schizophrenia is a problem of the (sex) drives. It's not however a problem with the content of the drives, like in neurosis, where the neurotic experiences a conflict between the content of the drives and his ideal self.
No, the problem in schizophrenia is the quiddity of the drives, the nature of the drives themself. The drives don't care about the mind (body).
In schizophrenia the drives (urges) are real close to the skin and cause fear, paranoia and disintegration. Dissociation, hallucination, catatonia are actually defense mechanisms against the unbearable drives.
Schizophrenic madness is self-regulation of the drives (that does not always work well). Furthermore the schizophrenic is not split from 'reality'. The schizophrenic is unbearably close to the Real (the drives). While normal people (neurotics) are cut off from the Real by the imaginary and symbolic order.
Pleasure must be conquered on the drives. That's where the self-regulation comes in, like how you need a guidance system in your house for the water drift, or the drift would just break through the (schizophrenic) wall and wash everything away.
You might wonder if schizophrenia is self-regulation of the drives, what regulates the drives of normal people (neurotics)? That answer is simple: Oedipus and the demands of the social organism for a socially productive sexuality.
In the schizophrenic the oedipalization did not take hold. The phallus itself is adrift and can not assert its authority.
The libido loses its stickiness, the schizophrenic's urges have surpassed the world and have withdrawn into the self. The schizophrenic is thus exposed to the shocks and intensities of an inverted libido.
To make a long story short: the schizophrenic is not so much moved by the urges as he is swept away by them.
Just one more thing I'd like to point out: the high prevalence of schizophrenia among 'drifters' (the homeless). "This prevalence rate rises to about 92% among those who are street homeless."
I have a thought for you. The thought comes from my experience with someone who is autistic. People thought that individual was stupid, but my take on the situation was and what I learned was that his brain worked extremely fast. A genius if you will, but he lacked social skills. With that in mind, I'm thinking that perhaps schizophrenia is also a disease we don't know exactly what it is or perhaps we don't call it what it really is. By that I mean these episodes that the individual experiences perhaps they're real. Only you could answer that for me, You having schizophrenia I would give value and wait to your thoughts. I'm wondering if by chance with what we are learning in the world today, that everything we were taught was wrong and it's just the opposite... that maybe, just maybe, people with schizophrenia are the sane ones.? I welcome your thoughts on this. God bless you sweetheart.
Some cultures do believe so. But I think it's a rather harmful sentiment as it supports the delusions and hallucinations of those suffering from psychosis.
And take for example thought broadcasting. Can you actually hear the thoughts of a schizophrenic person who thinks their thoughts are broadcasted to those around them? Or do you think other people can? Would it make sense for different schizophrenic people to have different hallucinations in the same room if those hallucinations were actually "real"? Most of the time delusions, hallucinations and other symptoms are just plain stressful for the ones affected and are definitely no "enlightment" (and on the other hand are no "possession by demons" either). It's just a very difficult brain disease.
it was probably among your ancestors in the family, which you may not even know about. genes can come from very far away.
I'm schizoaffective/depressive type. I don't understand how you can put your face on the internet. They will get you. They always do. Put the mark on you "schizophrenic" lock you away. Lunacy.
I get everything but the disorganized speech.

Hi, thank you for sharing these videos. It helps me get to know myself better, & understand my symptoms. I have a question for you, or anyone willing to answer, but I don't know if you'll see this. Do your meds make you stumble around & bump into things often, or drop things? I'm dealing with this issue since my meds were increased. I also cannot seem to fight off the drowsiness from morning medications. Looking forward to an answer to my concerns. Great channel, too, btw.
