    It's so sad to see how much more his mental and physical state have deteriorated since you first interviewed him. His family seems so nice and my heart breaks for them.

      This is so far by a landslide the best video he has done. He was more aware. More engaged. He has lost weight but still I think he looks fairly good. The voices didn’t bother him as much as the previous videos did. I hope he does connect with his dad. The problem is he can agree and then minutes later disagree. I wish he and his family well.

      I didn't even recognize him. That is how much he has deteriorated from 2 years ago, since his last interview. His head-scratching & nose-picking were so distracting. So sad...such drastic change from his first interview. I hope he gets help...whether it's an agency on skid row...or if he allows his Dad back into his life...he definitely needs some sort of support. & Most importantly...to get back onto his meds & off the street drugs.

      ​​@@hipsonsogbo 🎯 It's good to see someone intelligent enough to realize that.
      "The type of voices heard by people who suffer from schizophrenia depends on where they live..clinical studies show that people who have auditory hallucinations in Africa and India describe them as positive requests from family members or spirits, But most Americans say they hear violent torturous, and hateful yelling from strangers"

      Isn't you amazing God already doing that? How come he has this illness in the first place? Isn't your God the creator of everything?! How come God doesn't cure him instead of making him suffer like that? He can't get rid of the illness himself.
      The only thing that could've heped these people would've been for Americans to vote better people into office so that one day proper help is available for everybody. You failed to do that. Your imaginary God won't help you either.

It is just the impression I get from watching documentaries and things on the Internet, the USA seems to not help the poor people as much as they should, it seems you need to atleast have insurance to get any type of decent medical help, and people without it, seem to be left to fend for themselves, because anything medical is privatised, and has to be paid for privately, or by insurance companies.

    It's extremely hard to not help the one you love when they don't see the need for help. Grieving the loss of unfulfilled dreams that you have for your kid is not something I would wish on my worst enemy.
    One time i found my son getting food from the Salvation Army mobile food truck. I went up to them and could barely get the words out of my mouth because i was so choked up with emotion, but I was so thankful that they took the time to love my son.
    Hugs to all those that feel this similar pain.

      Mental illness is connected to sin. An open door to demons and unclean spirits through generational curses, trauma and or sin.
      I know this because I experienced it and because God's word tells us!!
      When I repented of my sins, named them, repented of sins of my ancestors where they offered up their bloodline in exchange, when I named those I forgive and release of the trauma and pain they caused me, asked Jesus to forgive and deliver me, come into my heart and fill me with the holy Spirit of God, pleaded the blood of Jesus against all unholy covenants made with unclean spirits, and soul ties with those i fornicated with and the S.A, repented of sexual immorality, deeds done in the body and in the spirit realm (dreams)..... I promise he answered and the torment begin to end. I cried out to Jesus after going through an anxiety depression paranoia hopeless psychosis episode that had lasted over a month, the longest they ever had, I couldn't leave the house and barely my bed after I had thought I was doing so good and much better.
      Jesus answered my cries and took me through deliverance, what to pray, decree and denounce, healed me and I'm so grateful!!! Stopped having night terrors and sleep paralysis too which is all spiritual and demons attacking you while physically asleep but your soul is in the spirit realm wide awake.
      Anyway, what we all need is to turn back to God, accept Jesus and repent of sin, read the Bible and strive each day to choose and live for the glory of God!!!!
      I pray this helps someone!! God bless you all ❤️🙏🌹🙌 Jesus has a new life, new identity, purpose and destiny for you, it's not too late, it's just the beginning...he loves you and came for the broken-hearted, those in chains, bondage, wrapped in sin and wickedness, he went to hell to bring you out of it and restore all that life has taken from you and that you traded in, to give you everlasting life and connect you back to your creator and holy father in heaven! He cleanses the soul that a shower can't reach, he removes shame, guilt, mend the mind heart and soul where they were shattered, he heals relationships, families, wombs, gives hope, worthiness, peace, etc. I promise!!! Your debt is paid in full for all who will accept him and his forgiveness!!!

    People are heartbroken to see animals roaming around hungry, dirty, helpless and bring them to shelters against their will no problem because they need help. But a human literally slowly killing them selves and possibly hurting others is absolutely ok to be left alone because it’s against that person’s right to be taken into shelter or hospital for help. Take heart Chris the whole world has lost its mind.

      So you want to physically force him to get treatment against his will?We don't do that in this country. The police can take him in and ask him if he feels he is a threat to himself or other people,if he says no, they have to let him go. Crazy people have rights too. It's an interesting debate,on the one hand, you're taking drastic action to do what you know is best for the person in an attempt to save their life and on the other hand in a free society we have to protect people's. civil liberties and automatically over their own life even if it's self destructive. If a homeless person is sleeping outside in twenty degree weather should the police force him against his will into a shelter or should he have the freedom to freeze to death?

    Thank-you for your spotlight on mental illness. It is rough for people who have it and equally rough for their family members. Sadly the stigma never goes away. No one can accept it as part of their, our humanity. Before he died, my son Jantzen's best friend suffered from Schizophrenia. I met him several times with Jantzen. I told him he was the same as us as everybody but he was better because he accepted help. He was so affected by Jantzen's death, he could not come to the funeral. Jantzen was killed while biking by a negligent driver. I know this is not a popular thought, but I think we all have some mental illness. I actually think this has contributed to the rise of religiosity - or why religions exist to control the narrative or explanation for mental illness. Acceptance is key. Getting help is key. Getting help should not have such a negative connotation about it. We all need help at different points.

      Mental illness is connected to sin. An open door to demons and unclean spirits through generational curses, trauma and or sin.
      I know this because I experienced it and because God's word tells us!!
      When I repented of my sins, named them, repented of sins of my ancestors where they offered up their bloodline in exchange, when I named those I forgive and release of the trauma and pain they caused me, asked Jesus to forgive and deliver me, come into my heart and fill me with the holy Spirit of God, pleaded the blood of Jesus against all unholy covenants made with unclean spirits, and soul ties with those i fornicated with and the S.A, repented of sexual immorality, deeds done in the body and in the spirit realm (dreams)..... I promise he answered and the torment begin to end. I cried out to Jesus after going through an anxiety depression paranoia hopeless psychosis episode that had lasted over a month, the longest they ever had, I couldn't leave the house and barely my bed after I had thought I was doing so good and much better.
      Jesus answered my cries and took me through deliverance, what to pray, decree and denounce, healed me and I'm so grateful!!! Stopped having night terrors and sleep paralysis too which is all spiritual and demons attacking you while physically asleep but your soul is in the spirit realm wide awake.
      Anyway, what we all need is to turn back to God, accept Jesus and repent of sin, read the Bible and strive each day to choose and live for the glory of God!!!!
      I pray this helps someone!! God bless you all ❤️🙏🌹🙌 Jesus has a new life, new identity, purpose and destiny for you, it's not too late, it's just the beginning...he loves you and came for the broken-hearted, those in chains, bondage, wrapped in sin and wickedness, he went to hell to bring you out of it and restore all that life has taken from you and that you traded in, to give you everlasting life and connect you back to your creator and holy father in heaven! He cleanses the soul that a shower can't reach, he removes shame, guilt, mend the mind heart and soul where they were shattered, he heals relationships, families, wombs, gives hope, worthiness, peace, etc. I promise!!! Your debt is paid in full for all who will accept him and his forgiveness!!!

      You can break this generational curse off your bloodline through prayer and creating a covenant with Jesus to spiritually protect your offspring and family going forward!! Repent for sins and spiritual doors your ancestors opened to demonic spirits and plead the blood of Jesus against all covenants made with the kingdom of darkness on your bloodline that they be destroyed!!!

      even amfetamine can trigger schizophrenia after a couple of uses. Yeah it was a good times, still suffering from paranoid schizofrenia, but I do take my drugs, they help if you dose it right. Once after a year and a half being completely sober apart from nicotine i got an attack. I dont remember much, but i once again try and try to be sober, even weed can trigger an relapse - and it couse schizophrenias if used in young ages (not for all). I cry watching this man, because I know if not my mother I had been dead a lot of years ago. I remember his first video - he was completely tripping but I understood about what he was talking and how he felt. We have not a lot of homeless people here in lithuania. always give them money if i can, I don't question if they will spend it on booze or drugs. Thats how my alcoholic babtizing father told me - if someone asks you must give, I give even without asking if i see a homeless person, thats why we are human.
