i always thought it was funny how she used realistic examples like that bcus it may b weird to someone "normal" but to a similarly mentally ill person it makes complete sense
@@monaalei9922 yo, i think that happened to me. i think i have autism with depression and not schizoaffective. my doctor says i lack insight of schizophrenia. he tries to assure me im schizo. its not true. my son has autism. his mother is healthy but i am not.
I know someone with schizophrenia, and I fee for him. It's been incredibly heartbreaking. He truly hears my voice saying things like, "You're gay" and "I'm going to make you gay." I've never said anything like that. Sometimes he looks at me says my name and says, "I'm not gay" or "You're not going to make me gay." Last week, he said, "Let's make peace, please. Don't make me go out with him." It makes me cry. I turn to these videos to help me understand :(
Mental illness is not a joke. I've had coworkers talking to themslves and old friends that thought i was a under cover cop, and really believed that I was a agent since childhood that watched him to lead to his arrest
my neighboor is like this, i found out since he moved in. He wake up all midnight every hour to outburst laugh at himself alone almost everyday can you imagine that? i have to sleep early to avoid his stuff atleast the guy not doing the feces on the wall stuff🤦
@@AKDHFR that's sounds scary to have a neighbor like that. Any neighbor with skitzo are unpredictable and scary to be around. It's like they're on a bad shroom trip
@@dc.19X8writing this in a episode, it’s exactly like a bad shroom trip! Scrolling RUclips literally lifesaving without it I’m too focused on nonsense thk god for phones don’t know what I do in times like this when alone without it
Some of the kids in these other comments annoy me like your saying bro someone won’t know that they are delusional and psychotic other people notice it
DELUSIONS ARE THE WORST! They have affected my life in some of the most unexpected and unfortunate ways. The most lonely feeling is when someone you love and trust gets frustrated and tells you that what you’re experiencing isn’t at all real when physically, emotionally, mentally, psychologically and consciously it is all very real to you.
How do you know it's delusions who is to tell you someone who is not seeing itbgets to advice you on something they never experienced personally but cause they have a blank paper called degree studying and experiencing things are not the same
inappropriate laughter always made socializing difficult for me but now I have the education to explain why I'm laughing (or rather, that I'm not trying to) it frightens people.
Thank you for sharing Enoch.... Do you share with others the reason of your laughter? . . . It would be nice if we all were educated on mental health subjects, that way if we have an episode people would know what to do/not.... Unfortunately some still believe mental health is not real....
@@zaidashible9038 I would share but while I am symptomatic, my cognition and self awareness are very dull as well as more of whats called negative symptoms. I think of it as a rolling blackout of the brain. So preemptive communication I find is very helpful.
There's a man who lives in my town. I think he lives outside. He gets foodstamps because I've seen him go to the grocery store and purchase food with them. He doesn't work. He just walks all around town all day every day with a hiking backpack. If you speak to him, he won't respond. When people have tried to force him to interact, he becomes hostile and violent and doesn't make any sense. He keeps to himself and every once in a while you'll see him having a conversation with himself but he immediately stops talking if he notices someone is paying attention. Aside from the fact that he is not a fully functional person, he seems happy and healthy and doesn't bother anyone.
Yeah I got schizophrenia and I wish it would go away. Tired of the hallucinations and not being able to communicate. I always feel like I’m acting and I forgot who I was; basically became a whole new person lost so many friends and relationships along the way. All they do it keep me on medication but the medication takes my ability to speak and be myself. I’m so tired of it.
I dont have schizophrenia but im losing everything and friends at a young age.. Im very calm and friendly but for some reason i have always a serious expression in my face causing others to get mad at me or be scared..im tired of people looking at me like im some kind of damn terminator.. i dont feel anymore like a human and i hate how everybody around me dont listen to a word that i say and treat me like a liar for no reason
Not only that.. too many corrupted bastards use and abuse of their power and by that they are destroing too many relationships.. I've seen and im seeing too much.. Not only that but a lot of people that even aren't schiprozenics can be seen as one.. I dont see humanity anymore and i hope that at this rate im gonna live another life by myself..
Have you looked into medical keto as a treatment? It has been used for 50 years to treat medicine resistant epilepsy and there have been promising studies done on it’s use for schizophrenia in the past decade. There are people with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and clinical depression who are in complete remission because of this diet. If your brother is wary of taking antipsychotics, maybe he’d be willing to try that. Look up Dr. Christopher Palmer on RUclips if you’d like to start learning about it. I wish your family the best❤️
I’m a female and have been living with psychosis since the age of 26-27 I’m now 50 Horrible horrible condition! It’s absolutely exhausting. I now manage it with meds. It’s a strange illness to have as it’s not usually myself that notices the break in me but others around me.
Please learn about metabolic and Orthomolecular psychiatry! Dr. Chris Palmer is a Harvard psychiatrist that has successfully put most of his schizophrenic patients into full remission with little or no meds. His new book is called Brain Energy which explains the role that mitochondria and metabolic health have in even the most serious mental health issues. There is also Dr. Daniel Amen who has many Amen Clinics and one of his many excellent books to read is “The End Of Mental Illness” Know there is scientifically proven alternative help either with meds or without available so educate yourself nor have someone help you to do so and stay hopeful!
If you listen to some of these symptoms, it’s almost like social media trains us into schizophrenic behaviours. It is one factor of many, course. With social media you can laugh hysterically to something of augumented/ virtual reality. You can hear audio and see things that aren’t really there. You are isolated, whether you are by yourself or not. Your attention span goes down and it’s hard to plan things and focus on real life.
I can’t imagine trying to listen to two people talking at the same time. I have much more compassion for just trying to get through life I single day maybe even a single hour
I spent 15yrs of my life believing i was a schizo and 2yrs taking medicines for this illness, by the time I was 26 I wanted to end my life and then something me stopped the violence.. I wondered who it was then, but then I didn't go through it I was sent to the pyschward and I didn't remember what had happened to me but I'm 32 now and I've been reading and listening to the Bible since I was 29yrs of age but I will mention that soon so in that time when I was 26 I think I felt the holy spirit in that situation where I was going to take my life, He stopped me from wrongfully taking the gift He gave to me. I couldn't explain it until I was 29 when covid began and it hit me in 2022 around January I got hit with covid 19 and it put me in a coma for 2 weeks and I saw a lot of things that happening today now and I heard this voice in the coma and that scared me, but I also saw my loved ones flashing through my mind. I remember hearing from the darkness of the deep and He said "Not Yet" in a loud whispering Gentle voice but it was a deep voice, man I've never would have known until I began reading the Bible and taking notes but I don't believe in this Schizophrenia anymore because 1. The drugs were ruining my brain function and 2. When I began talking to God about my problems and he listened and it is said that God works through you and I understood Him. Those voices you hear are just you allowing the enemy to enter your Kingdom (Mind & Heart) and twist your thoughts into something bad, I then started to think of them as spiritual attacks from the enemy and when I read books like proverbs and psalms it felt like I was equipping his Armor and then I found the sword Matthew 5:3-14 whew I still need to find the others but talking to strangers who need to escape this world's prison and start socializing more soon we won't have access to the internet and our money won't matter anymore yall need to pick up the sword too if you want to wake up again.
It's interesting to note that the negative symptoms of schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder are quite similar. All the examples of negative symptoms in this video are easily found in autistic people.
Negative symptoms in schizophrenia are actually really different from autistic behaviors on so many levels. You can learn more about this in the DSM 5 and in other diagnostic manuals (eg. ICD 11)
The negative symptoms are just one part of Schizophrenia. They do sound similar to some signs of autism. Overall they are very different disorders though. Interestingly schizophrenia does occur a little more often in people with autism than the general population. There are some overlaps in the genes involved for both disorders. I know one family that has a child with autism and two children with schizophrenia.
Autism and schizophrenia can look similar on the outside. Sometimes psychiatrists even mistake one for the other. There is some overlap between the two, but they are quite different!
@@gigahorse1475 I think the similarities are not just on the outside. I remember reading a paper comparing the brain activity in people with schizophrenia or autism, and most brain regions displayed a similar pattern of increased or decreased activity. There were some differences, of course, and the people with schizophrenia had a bigger increase or decrease in brain activity than the people with autism. But there might be some biological mechanisms underlying both schizophrenia and autism, which could explain the similarities in negative symptoms, even though the positive symptoms are quite different.
I was diagnosed in late 2018, and it changed my life forever. I have a lot of the symptoms listed in this video and am glad to have taken the meds. Even though I still have some symptoms It has made my life much better.
I'm so glad you're doing much better!😮💖 I've been involved in the schizophrenic community since a schizophrenic addicted to meth moved in below me. He's been evicted because he screams almost constantly. Hes been so damaging to the mental health of my neighbors and me and he stalks my other female neighbor and me. He has very little lucid moments, his parents are in their 80's and burnt out. It's one of the saddest things I've seen. When ever I see success stories here I'm so happy from the very bottom of my heart. Like many he believes the meth helps him. He's 59 and I wonder if he'll give up the meth and have his meds regulated and live out a good and peaceful life💖💖
My friend is having a schizophrenic attack right now. He’s posting delusions and verbal abuse on his Instagram story. I really don’t know what to do. It’s sad to see him like this Update: His parents and university decided to take him to a good hospital, it took him a few months to fully heal, he’s fine now and is aware and regretful of what he did
That’s my brother I gave him a car so he could work and he’s been doing weird shit since he got fired he’s been crying all the time for no reason he’ll be happy for a second and cry then start saying weird things that don’t make sense he’ll drive to places a hour away do nothing an come back and do it again and the other night I was going to go pick up my girlfriend from work and I saw cops chasing him and he’s speeding past me and I went and followed to make sure he’s okay and he was acting like it was fine I took the car back and he’s mad that I won’t give it to him he’s been at my moms house saying weird things talking about his ex and screaming
@@thebookiesx6236 To be honest, that was very kind of you to him a car in order to help him out, but I'll say that it potentially wasn't best idea to do because the way the brain reacts when an individual living with the illness has an episode. You are a very caring person to care for him! Finally, please check on your mom frequently, when she's either present with him or even just alone to aid in easing her stress.
There was this girl and she was literally perfect. Everything about her, but……. I just didn’t know what to do still to this day. I want to help her but I just feel like I can’t. She was perfect but it just feels like it’s impossible to communicate with her. Sometimes I don’t even know if she’s comprehending what I’m saying. It breaks my fucking heart. I want her to live a productive, normal life and I don’t know if that’s possible and I’m just here watching these videos looking for an answer.
I told my partner that I was just diagnosed schizophrenic and three days later he started nastily calling 'schizo'. I hadn't done anything. It's very hurtful.
Thanks Dr. Marks. Schizoaffective bipolar type runs on both sides of my family. I never questioned my mothers obvious hallucinations nor did anyone else. We didn't know any better back then. So glad there's more education and treatment now.
@@mrs.c5022 Delusions definitely have a range of possibility. My dad has schizophrenia and he's had times where he was very negatively affected by it due to a lack of a support circle. During those times, his delusions could range from the plausible "a bird got inside the house" to the very much impossible "everyone I ever knew are witches who perform dark spells on me to get inside my head". One time, he found a dead rooster in his backyard (he lived near the countryside back then and lots of neighbours had farm animals) and he accused my mother of having placed it there as a part of a ritual or something. He got very aggressive and violent at times during these low points. Those were horrible times. I'm so glad he's much better right now even if the journey to get here was extremely difficult.
I went to the er for severe dehydration and they admitted me to psych ward for 5 days and kept saying i was schizophrenic or bipolar 1 or 2 and having a manic episode. I am a combat veteran and i have ptsd depression anxiety. I was severely injured and been in pain since. Im making complaints and pursuing legal action. It was so traumatic smh.
I've been seeing these men around my house lately and have been hearing whispering people tell me to hurt others, or hear them telling me racist things, or homophobic things. I've honestly been thinking ive been losing my mind, but i think i might need to get a diagnoses - thanks for the vid, really helped
I think we all losing the plot after COVID. Our GOVERNMENTS IMPRISONED N LOCKED US DOWN. I'm already agoraphobia n now the WEF have made everyone agoraphobic. Agoraphobia is fear of going to far from home n can be linked to schizophrenia and OCD, amongst other conditions, such as paranoia, fear, anxiety, suspicion n contamination. COVID has really made everything hell. Still ppl r scared of virus.
Something to note is that being neurodivergent in any way makes you incredibly susceptible to outside influences. If you are told that racists are everywhere, then if your mind is already venerable to suggestion, you may begin seeing or interpreting things around you as racist even if they are not.
Hey, sometimes hallucinations are just symptoms of a mood disorder, which can even make you psychotic sometimes. To be diagnosed with schizophrenia you got to be (consistently) psychotic for at least 6 months. Hope this was helpful
🙏 Thank You So Much for illuminating us about people suffering from Schizophrenia ... Looks like many drugs & alcohol addicts manifest these symptoms ... 🕯🌍
My mother has it. I've lost my father quite young so we're brought up by my maternal grandmother and uncle but she believes him and his wife are the villain. In her head my uncle and his wife killed my maternal grandfather. Goes to police station to have them arrested for the rest of their life. She break things at home, use abusive language, sometimes doesn't eat food we make saying we are feeding something to kill her. It's hard for us to take care of her. She would never go to see the doctor with us. And if someone tells her how exactly the thing is she would believe that person is being bribed by us. What do I do? I wanna help her but she has completely messed up my mental heath. I have also lost my brother 3 months ago, he had duchenne muscular dystrophy, he was only 21 my little brother. Now it's just me, my younger sister and my mother left. Our life sucks. Pray for us 🙏
I started believing in God and I noticed that these states of delusions cannot always be easily controlled or within grasp of understanding... But God can help anyone who asks Him, and if they are mindful and repent, and do not give in to such thoughts, they will be saved. But whoever gives in to evil thoughts, and whoever is delusional, if they give into their delusions, it only becomes worse and they fall into a state of great confusion. I've seen many degrees of this and some people cannot see at all and are very well mannered, but lacking the intelligence it seems.. while others have the ability to see, but lack manners and even with their able intelligence, they lack compassion and composure. I myself feel as if I don't know the mind well. Not well enough to speak on it. But if you do have good thoughts, you will be at peace with God, and if you have bad thoughts☝️, well then you become evil and suffer
@@clown-cat check your name for reference, you clearly did not respond to anything I said. Nothing, on the nature of people having intelligence but lacking compassion like sophisticated and violent, or the ones being dumb but plenty full of compassion.. You made no reference to God helping you in times of distress by seeking wisdom or having in Him. You did not even go to the degree of mentioning that good thoughts cause pleasure and bad thoughts create suffering. In no way did you respond to me at all. You made a cynical judgement and I think you should focus on the promise God has in store for, which is good, rather than make immature comments on how you clearly don't see that God is in every religion. Good is God, and He gave you water and a mind to think, and a body that is able, and here you believe. But what do you believe? Are you thankful for these things, or do you walk with the man? The man is the individual who does monotonous tasks, has general basic functions like interpretation of your surroundings shape and movement, or how to walk, basic functions.. but you, you're the freewill that stretches beyond that into your inner voice. The one that is real personal. If you do not get your mind on a similar path to God's thinking, and genuinely repent, then you are prescribing yourself self destruction of the conscious soul. You can become too absorbed into the idea of God, that you become delusional. Extreme religions are not Christlike. Islam is not Christlike. Just be good to others and follow God. This is what Jesus taught us, mercy and faith.🌠☝️
i used to think there were 2 people standing outside my window who were ALWAYS there and i would talk to them for hours and hours it was the weirdest shit
If you're living with ADHD, such as myself, do not pay attention to this video because if can create false opinions about yourself. However, if you experience more than 2 - 3 symptoms, then talk a behavioral professional that can help you.
My sister had all these symptopms 3 months ago. After starting some schizophrenia medicines these problems went away but recently she is again having fear and doesn’t feel well all day. Does she need schizofrenia medicines anymore? Her CT scan report came out normal. First doctor said it was psychosis but second dr. Said schizophrenia. We are very stressed thinking that may be she was diagnosed wrong.
When I came home from college during winter break, my brother had been 18 for about 6 months. His face had completely changed. His behavior had completely been altered. One evening during my stay, he talked about voices in his head that told him things. It scared me to death! I've always known that he was schizophrenic after that day, but my mother denies it to this day, 25 odd years later. 💔
Did he mention voice of God military weapon? (v2K) Or psychotronic weapons etc. It's also known as electronic harassment / electronic torture. These are real technologies. I hope you at least research these things if he has mentioned them. It's only fair, as they are proven to exist.
Im so sorry your mother did not take your brother sickness seriously! People with mental health needs this social-net around them, to protect them, take them to doctorsapointments, provide things they need in times they cant do it themselves. They still have their own value and voice, but when its going downhill they need people that are willing to step up! Glad he has you! Hope your brother is doing ok ❤
I had all the symptoms that she mentioned, for ten years I thought that I was an immortal God, The worst of all was the uncontrollable bursts of laughter. I am currently on break from schizophrenia, since I have stopped believing in my delusions. I hope that its all gone. But they say it lasts your whole life. We will see what the next round holds.
I have 2and 5 . I thought the diagnosis may have been wrong all these years but if these are the five main things that can classify you as a schizophrenic I understand why I as given that diagnosis now. I was diagnosed as a borderline schizophrenic.
I have all but disorganised speech and thinking and I’m relatively articulate at my meetings, getting a diagnosis has been a nightmare without risking going back into psychosis again, but sometimes I can’t hear people over the voices
My son has had disorganized speech for a few years now. He’s all over the place and forgets what he’s talking about. He doesn’t let me talk. He thinks he’s brilliant and everyone else is stupid but he doesn’t do much at all. I think he might have it. He’s 26 but acts 12 in many ways. He doesn’t see his friends much. He hadn’t been working and struggles at work. He doesn’t understand why he should be paying for his things. He expects me to pay for everything. It would be ok if it was because he was lazy and greedy but he is doing it because he thinks everything is wonderful and that’s normal and how it should be and I’m a jerk. I do nice things for him and he becomes angry. He has 2 symptoms for sure.
So, I have all 5. I took a test a few days ago online to see if I possibly was schizophrenic and it came back about 90%. I am probably going to try and get a proper diagnosis, but from what I’ve found so far I most likely am. Can’t be sure though. Thanks for the vid!
lol yeah sweetie ignore these internet swine according to her I also am a skitzo lol nevermind all the other, more rational reasons.😂. ps I just checked your profile you seem absolutely fine : ). the fact u can make videos and perfectly recite sound bites proves it.
I get the laughing thing on occasion, it is a coping strategy I use to avoid taking life too seriously. The second is facial expressions, although I tend to bounce between the extremes. People have noted I can come across bland, but it's not a perpetual thing. Based on my own assessment, I do not meet the requirements to cause rise for concern.
damn i think my brother has this or is getting it idk but he moves around really weird sometimes, other times whenever im speaking to him and it's loud enough for him to hear me he just says "what did u say" and just looks at me like he's confused another thing is the way he talks he talks in a way where sometimes i cant understand him where he's just speaking ab things that dont even relate to what the conversation is even about like he's trying to make sense of something thats not even real hes being in a physiatric place whenever he was younger and i read online that whenever someone goes in places like those its a far greater chance for someone to develop this illness i feel so bad for him bc i wanna help him but he tells me he doesnt need it he then talks to me like its the last time were ever gonna speak idk what to do he's completely lost it with my family he doesnt trust them or love them anymore im the only one he can some what communicate in a way where he doesnt show any type of anger
Well, firstly, I'll start with... if you're the only that he can calmly communicate with and not display/show triggered emotions; then you're the one who needs to continue helping him [God Bless You and you're stress levels!] Next, I'll say don't automatically assume or say guess that he has this specific psychological illness just because of this short video. Judging by what I've read so far in your comment, he seems to be suffering from episodes of psychosis. Yes, psychosis can be triggered by drug use. Also, it is linked to bipolar, schizo-affective disorder, MPD (multiple personality disorder), schizophrenia, and most folks may not agree, but even PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) which is something that not many people think about. If you can one day try to help him get treatment, then a good thing to do, but if not, try to help with figure out an interest or activity that he may strongly like that doesn't involve weaponry of any sort and see if said interest/activity helps him to naturally focus on that. Now keep in mind, that it may not help immediately. but if he likes whatever activity that you try, then spend some time doing that and takes notes either with pen/pencil and paper or video with your phone/tablet. (AGAIN... NO WEAPONS, NOTHING SHARP!)
She's talking about coping mechanisms of survivors of narcissistic abuse and abused by psychotronic weapons. There are only good and bad behaving people. The ones using psychotronic weapons on others or illegally neuralinking or neuro lacing people without their consent are the poorly deciding ones who aren't ok.
omg this is so relatable. Once in french class I started feeling immense panic while I looked around me because I felt like I was being stared at. I started laughing hysterically for a few minutes, causing the others to laugh a lot too. But I got sent to the bathroom where I laughed even louder until I was filled with strange and random sadness and I started crying. I guess I have schizophrenia !
1. Were you thinking of a funny memory in your head during event? 2. Or you could have Bipolar Disorder , That or Borderline Personality Disorder. (Or your just a weird kid)
Can you notice negative symptoms? My mother has schizophrenia so I am more likely to get the disease as well and when me and my mother catched some infection, her schizophrenia flared up again and I got terrible mood shifts, cognitive problems, apathy and a craving for blood which definetely was not normal. I also looked pale and had chronic constipation and abdominal pain and perhaps gallbladder dysfunction. I made an appointment with a psychiatrist/neurologist, but then I got Covid and had to reschedule the appointment and by that time, I already medicated myself using doxycyclin and that basically had all my psycho symptoms disappear but had my Covid symptoms reemerge. The only true diagnoses which I got during all of this was "lymphadenitis mesenteralis" (swollen lymph nodes in the abdomen). The doctors gave me pain medication which I never took. In the end, all went well for me, even though those 5 monthes were the worst time of my life. My mother has not reached remission till this day though.
Dr Marks I have a question 🙋🏾♀️: When Schizophrenia is diagnosed, does the diagnosis frequently involve negative aspects of the behavior? I have not seen one as of yet, but I always wondered.
I was thinking it was just anxiety, dp/dr, depression, adhd, aspergers, autism ocd, and tics but after taking the free online inkblot test I've become increasingly more worried by how accurate this is to me. I got an 8/10 on that test
1. Delusional 2. Hallucinations 3. Disorganized thinking 4. Disorganized behavior 5. Dramatic decrease of facial expression, movement How is this different from a drunk?
With schizophrenia you have problems telling what is real or not (delusions, hallucinations etc.) With autism you have social problems, stims, sensory problems, routines, etc.
I definitely hear things. I remember once I was little and I was running up and down my hall in my house next to my parents doorway I heard somebody call my name. I looked into the room and I saw something there too.
My wife's two brothers both have all these symptoms and are absolutely scared of me. I have no idea why. No one acts that way around me just them. Their mother and many relatives have schizophrenia.
i come here after i got posting at mental health hospital, so i get a one patient and ask her a few thing, but lastly i notice suddenly she smile without any reason, that is what make me feel creep and scared.💀
My brother used to have schizophrenia, where he said it's most common when he's alone. It also told him to do stuff, he said the hallucinations he saw were a tall figure maybe 6 feet tall, with sharp hands. He got cured after a few months.
I hear weird things in my ears. I look around. No one's talking to me. I don't really hallucinate much. I go off-track a lot and I feel it that seems right to me. I laugh just randomly a lot.
So it's similar to a comedown after smoking meth.after 2 days of no sleep, you'll see shadows moving and it scares you while you're forcing yourself to sleep so you turn on the lights.And you hear someone "pssstt"ing at you but there's nobody there.
The truth is i am hearing people talk about me i am not having hallucinations or delusions i was completely alright its when they started injections and medicines that made me sick 7 years now stuck with medicines lifetime
I can’t find my comment, but I wanna add I’m not schizophrenic. I’m spiritual, and I questioned the way that western medicine analyzes different diseases even of the mind. So why the behavior might be problematic if there is truth to it, our society may not be caught up to it. an example, a lot of times they hear things and see things that other people don’t, but we have multiple people that not only express document through Auto scientific methods, including machines that those things are physically measurable and they do exist. And so with my mind, things that if you live in a society were most people consistentlyvalue your experience or judgment, it could lead to paranoia or even other types of “”delusions. Basically a vicious cycle.
Well this makes sense. When my sisters and the neighborhood would play tag and hide and seek with our neighborhood kids, I'd get this uncomfortable case of the giggles where I just couldn't stop laughing and I recalled my sister putting her handover my mouth saying “shut the f up, if you keep laughing ill kill you” noe she didn't mean it in a serious way, it just was something that would happen from time to time and I couldn't explain it. It still does. I'm flat too, no facial expressions til I started my add meds anyway but no hallucinations until I got these meds anyway.. Which its the meds. It's very miniscule when I started them. But is it possible for someone to have other mental health things? Like I'm bipolar, I suffer anxiety depression but also I have add and maybe that or autistic spectrum.. And these weird delusions but it's not like an invader. It's more like I know my problems will all be solved if or when I get married..(even though I've witnessed my mom and dads marriage together and apart be wrecked. And my sisters) but I have this odd sense of life is like a movie. I know eventually I'll snap out of it. And I'm working really hard keeping it to myself until now. I don't share this with anyone trust me it's embarrassing. I don't have any male friends except my last ex… and in regard to women. I can't have ANH female friends bc a) I don't trust them around my bf.. And I don't trust any of his female friends he did have around him..bc I've seen countless fimovies where girls friends become involved with the friends bf and the heartbreak hurts.. It sucks. Even at the place I go to now for treatment, I see this girl and Guy who went to treatment and met their before. They say that they are talking to eachothwr and she's married with a kid. It's not my business but I totally see what going to happen, all bc it's a plot in a movie that's quite common. That's the similar plot too in movies. This characters meet and bond and then something happens where she reaches out to him and they wregoing to hit it of and ruin her marriage and blah blah. I know people in treatment shouldnt date but it happens. I had an old friend who had a similar thing but she and him were together about three years and then he stopped his meds and it went downhill. Could this be schitzo? Or some other crap? I got a lot of problems being serious
Some things you describe are related to depression. Or if you say something stupid or ask the same question over and over again people will give you that face. Negative thinking and disorganized thinking can be someone being abused by there spouse or by stressed related issues. So, What your saying has to be on a different level of mental illness. Consisitent behaviors...
I AM love, I AM free, I AM whole, I AM full of joy, I AM fearless, I AM the source of all creativity, I have infinite potential, I AM healthy, I AM whole, I AM a masterpiece.... Every day, self affirm these TRUTHS to yourself all throughout the day and watch your reality change, because YOU are greatness. After time, this will reboot and reprogram one's mind, and the only thoughts you will have is the truth. I AM one. ❤
So I have all the symptoms but what if they’re all for valid reasons? I know people don’t like me. Why am I pretending that it doesn’t exists when they do.
Little or no eye contact isnt a symptom of a dysfunction. As shy individuals are meek/ modest. And what about low vision, individuals? There is also sensory sensitive individual which by the way isnt sign of autism. There are a multitude of differences, individuals have, for whatever reason.
My brother has these but Idk if he has hallucinations. He does speak in a disorganized manner, but when I asked if he hears or sees things, he says he doesn't.
bro my mom and i have been in a toxic relationship for too long. we argue and fight a lot. i now have big fears like if i was harmed by her during the fight, like i fear that she threw hot tea on ny hair or face. bro is this the result of emotional abuse or is this schizophrenia
I don’t agree with the term “seeing or hearing things THAT ARE NOT THERE”. I think what psychotics probably do is falsely interpret that which is there, whether it be in the outside world or in their minds.
That was oddly specific about the skin tag...
She was throwing shade on Eve being made from the rib of Adam 😂
i always thought it was funny how she used realistic examples like that bcus it may b weird to someone "normal" but to a similarly mentally ill person it makes complete sense
@@fanuel551 Maybe 🤔
Maybe she is sciso

crazy how we went undiagosed with autism as children then grow up to become schizophrenics smh
wonder why karma lol
@@monaalei9922 yo, i think that happened to me. i think i have autism with depression and not schizoaffective. my doctor says i lack insight of schizophrenia. he tries to assure me im schizo. its not true. my son has autism. his mother is healthy but i am not.
I know someone with schizophrenia, and I fee for him. It's been incredibly heartbreaking. He truly hears my voice saying things like, "You're gay" and "I'm going to make you gay." I've never said anything like that. Sometimes he looks at me says my name and says, "I'm not gay" or "You're not going to make me gay." Last week, he said, "Let's make peace, please. Don't make me go out with him." It makes me cry. I turn to these videos to help me understand :(
Bless you for that 🖤
I'm right there with you. In my case, the person in question isn't even talking to me, and I have no idea why. It hurts.
Be careful, I don't think you are safe around him. He may possibly hear voices that tell him to hurt you.
Mental illness is not a joke. I've had coworkers talking to themslves and old friends that thought i was a under cover cop, and really believed that I was a agent since childhood that watched him to lead to his arrest
my neighboor is like this, i found out since he moved in. He wake up all midnight every hour to outburst laugh at himself alone almost everyday can you imagine that? i have to sleep early to avoid his stuff atleast the guy not doing the feces on the wall stuff🤦

Some of the kids in these other comments annoy me like your saying bro someone won’t know that they are delusional and psychotic other people notice it
DELUSIONS ARE THE WORST! They have affected my life in some of the most unexpected and unfortunate ways. The most lonely feeling is when someone you love and trust gets frustrated and tells you that what you’re experiencing isn’t at all real when physically, emotionally, mentally, psychologically and consciously it is all very real to you.
How did you find out or accept that they were delusions?
Can you go into detail about the delusions?
@@--RBuo84I’ll asnwer for me?! Time and experience with this dang illness
Fr, it fucks with your relationships and it makes it so hard to keep a stable relationship
How do you know it's delusions who is to tell you someone who is not seeing itbgets to advice you on something they never experienced personally but cause they have a blank paper called degree studying and experiencing things are not the same
inappropriate laughter always made socializing difficult for me but now I have the education to explain why I'm laughing (or rather, that I'm not trying to)

Thank you for sharing Enoch....
Do you share with others the reason of your laughter?
. . . It would be nice if we all were educated on mental health subjects, that way if we have an episode people would know what to do/not.... Unfortunately some still believe mental health is not real....
@@zaidashible9038, I hear you, mental illness is SO REAL, family members have been diagnosed with it,
@@zaidashible9038 I would share but while I am symptomatic, my cognition and self awareness are very dull as well as more of whats called negative symptoms. I think of it as a rolling blackout of the brain. So preemptive communication I find is very helpful.
Inappropriate laughter can be from many things, from anxiety to adhd to nervousness to lack of self control to withdrawal etc
I am around a gang infested area. I may not be able to get my fire arm license for protection.
There's a man who lives in my town. I think he lives outside. He gets foodstamps because I've seen him go to the grocery store and purchase food with them. He doesn't work. He just walks all around town all day every day with a hiking backpack. If you speak to him, he won't respond. When people have tried to force him to interact, he becomes hostile and violent and doesn't make any sense. He keeps to himself and every once in a while you'll see him having a conversation with himself but he immediately stops talking if he notices someone is paying attention. Aside from the fact that he is not a fully functional person, he seems happy and healthy and doesn't bother anyone.

Yeah I got schizophrenia and I wish it would go away. Tired of the hallucinations and not being able to communicate. I always feel like I’m acting and I forgot who I was; basically became a whole new person lost so many friends and relationships along the way. All they do it keep me on medication but the medication takes my ability to speak and be myself. I’m so tired of it.
Sounds like really horrible side effects. I'm sorry you have to go through that. I have significant mental health issues too.
How hard is it to differentiate between delusion and reality?
@@aurfvery u dont know what real and what not atleast thats the case for me
I dont have schizophrenia but im losing everything and friends at a young age..
Im very calm and friendly but for some reason i have always a serious expression in my face causing others to get mad at me or be scared..im tired of people looking at me like im some kind of damn terminator.. i dont feel anymore like a human and i hate how everybody around me dont listen to a word that i say and treat me like a liar for no reason
Not only that.. too many corrupted bastards use and abuse of their power and by that they are destroing too many relationships..
I've seen and im seeing too much..
Not only that but a lot of people that even aren't schiprozenics can be seen as one..
I dont see humanity anymore and i hope that at this rate im gonna live another life by myself..
My 32 year old big brother has schizophrenia. It’s been such a suffering for my whole family. He refuses to take meds and we are at our wits end.
Have you looked into medical keto as a treatment? It has been used for 50 years to treat medicine resistant epilepsy and there have been promising studies done on it’s use for schizophrenia in the past decade. There are people with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and clinical depression who are in complete remission because of this diet. If your brother is wary of taking antipsychotics, maybe he’d be willing to try that. Look up Dr. Christopher Palmer on RUclips if you’d like to start learning about it. I wish your family the best❤️
Going through the same with my 26 year old brother. It is truly heartbreaking
But his rights are more important than all of your sanity and safety sadly. It’s wrong that families can’t get courts to step in and change the laws.
I’m a female and have been living with psychosis since the age of 26-27 I’m now 50
Horrible horrible condition!
It’s absolutely exhausting.
I now manage it with meds.
It’s a strange illness to have as it’s not usually myself that notices the break in me but others around me.
May I ask what meditation you are taking? And has it helped with your symptoms? Thank you I hope your feeling better : )
Please learn about metabolic and Orthomolecular psychiatry! Dr. Chris Palmer is a Harvard psychiatrist that has successfully put most of his schizophrenic patients into full remission with little or no meds. His new book is called Brain Energy which explains the role that mitochondria and metabolic health have in even the most serious mental health issues. There is also Dr. Daniel Amen who has many Amen Clinics and one of his many excellent books to read is “The End Of Mental Illness”
Know there is scientifically proven alternative help either with meds or without available so educate yourself nor have someone help you to do so and stay hopeful!
Thank you Tracey for posting very helpful videos.
Thanks so much Dr. Furlan! I appreciate you 😊
If you listen to some of these symptoms, it’s almost like social media trains us into schizophrenic behaviours. It is one factor of many, course. With social media you can laugh hysterically to something of augumented/ virtual reality. You can hear audio and see things that aren’t really there. You are isolated, whether you are by yourself or not. Your attention span goes down and it’s hard to plan things and focus on real life.
I can’t imagine trying to listen to two people talking at the same time. I have much more compassion for just trying to get through life I single day maybe even a single hour
I spent 15yrs of my life believing i was a schizo and 2yrs taking medicines for this illness, by the time I was 26 I wanted to end my life and then something me stopped the violence.. I wondered who it was then, but then I didn't go through it I was sent to the pyschward and I didn't remember what had happened to me but I'm 32 now and I've been reading and listening to the Bible since I was 29yrs of age but I will mention that soon so in that time when I was 26 I think I felt the holy spirit in that situation where I was going to take my life, He stopped me from wrongfully taking the gift He gave to me. I couldn't explain it until I was 29 when covid began and it hit me in 2022 around January I got hit with covid 19 and it put me in a coma for 2 weeks and I saw a lot of things that happening today now and I heard this voice in the coma and that scared me, but I also saw my loved ones flashing through my mind. I remember hearing from the darkness of the deep and He said "Not Yet" in a loud whispering Gentle voice but it was a deep voice, man I've never would have known until I began reading the Bible and taking notes but I don't believe in this Schizophrenia anymore because 1. The drugs were ruining my brain function and 2. When I began talking to God about my problems and he listened and it is said that God works through you and I understood Him. Those voices you hear are just you allowing the enemy to enter your Kingdom (Mind & Heart) and twist your thoughts into something bad, I then started to think of them as spiritual attacks from the enemy and when I read books like proverbs and psalms it felt like I was equipping his Armor and then I found the sword Matthew 5:3-14 whew I still need to find the others but talking to strangers who need to escape this world's prison and start socializing more soon we won't have access to the internet and our money won't matter anymore yall need to pick up the sword too if you want to wake up again.
What an experience you have had.!! But What you mean by we won't have internet anymore?
People are going to get mad at me for saying this, but I also got a very long time felt like Schizophrenia is a spiritual attack.
It's interesting to note that the negative symptoms of schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder are quite similar. All the examples of negative symptoms in this video are easily found in autistic people.
I think that list is an oversimplification and easily puts non schizo but weird ppl into this category
Negative symptoms in schizophrenia are actually really different from autistic behaviors on so many levels. You can learn more about this in the DSM 5 and in other diagnostic manuals (eg. ICD 11)
The negative symptoms are just one part of Schizophrenia. They do sound similar to some signs of autism. Overall they are very different disorders though.
Interestingly schizophrenia does occur a little more often in people with autism than the general population. There are some overlaps in the genes involved for both disorders. I know one family that has a child with autism and two children with schizophrenia.
Autism and schizophrenia can look similar on the outside. Sometimes psychiatrists even mistake one for the other. There is some overlap between the two, but they are quite different!
@@gigahorse1475 I think the similarities are not just on the outside. I remember reading a paper comparing the brain activity in people with schizophrenia or autism, and most brain regions displayed a similar pattern of increased or decreased activity. There were some differences, of course, and the people with schizophrenia had a bigger increase or decrease in brain activity than the people with autism. But there might be some biological mechanisms underlying both schizophrenia and autism, which could explain the similarities in negative symptoms, even though the positive symptoms are quite different.
I was diagnosed in late 2018, and it changed my life forever. I have a lot of the symptoms listed in this video and am glad to have taken the meds. Even though I still have some symptoms It has made my life much better.
I'm so glad you're doing much better!😮💖 I've been involved in the schizophrenic community since a schizophrenic addicted to meth moved in below me. He's been evicted because he screams almost constantly. Hes been so damaging to the mental health of my neighbors and me and he stalks my other female neighbor and me. He has very little lucid moments, his parents are in their 80's and burnt out. It's one of the saddest things I've seen. When ever I see success stories here I'm so happy from the very bottom of my heart. Like many he believes the meth helps him. He's 59 and I wonder if he'll give up the meth and have his meds regulated and live out a good and peaceful life💖💖
My friend is having a schizophrenic attack right now. He’s posting delusions and verbal abuse on his Instagram story. I really don’t know what to do. It’s sad to see him like this
Update: His parents and university decided to take him to a good hospital, it took him a few months to fully heal, he’s fine now and is aware and regretful of what he did
That’s my brother I gave him a car so he could work and he’s been doing weird shit since he got fired he’s been crying all the time for no reason he’ll be happy for a second and cry then start saying weird things that don’t make sense he’ll drive to places a hour away do nothing an come back and do it again and the other night I was going to go pick up my girlfriend from work and I saw cops chasing him and he’s speeding past me and I went and followed to make sure he’s okay and he was acting like it was fine I took the car back and he’s mad that I won’t give it to him he’s been at my moms house saying weird things talking about his ex and screaming
@@thebookiesx6236 im rlly sorry to hear that dude, please make sure your mom is safe
@@thebookiesx6236 To be honest, that was very kind of you to him a car in order to help him out, but I'll say that it potentially wasn't best idea to do because the way the brain reacts when an individual living with the illness has an episode.
You are a very caring person to care for him!
Finally, please check on your mom frequently, when she's either present with him or even just alone to aid in easing her stress.
Pray dude i rebuke all negative energy from your friend it the name of Jesus Christ 🙏🏼 amen
So sad it’s happening to my baby daughter
There was this girl and she was literally perfect. Everything about her, but……. I just didn’t know what to do still to this day. I want to help her but I just feel like I can’t. She was perfect but it just feels like it’s impossible to communicate with her. Sometimes I don’t even know if she’s comprehending what I’m saying. It breaks my fucking heart. I want her to live a productive, normal life and I don’t know if that’s possible and I’m just here watching these videos looking for an answer.
Trust me she is beautiful and deserves all the love and respect! Follow your heart and dont be afraid of contact the girl 💐❤🙌
I told my partner that I was just diagnosed schizophrenic and three days later he started nastily calling 'schizo'. I hadn't done anything. It's very hurtful.
So sorry ❤
He doesnt deserve you. ❤
That’s horrible I’m so sorry
please tell me you left him
Hi schizo😂
Thanks Dr. Marks. Schizoaffective bipolar type runs on both sides of my family. I never questioned my mothers obvious hallucinations nor did anyone else. We didn't know any better back then. So glad there's more education and treatment now.
Can a delusion be possible, but not likely?
She owns a horse - vs
She believes her Mercury was manufactured on planet Mercury.
@@mrs.c5022 Delusions definitely have a range of possibility. My dad has schizophrenia and he's had times where he was very negatively affected by it due to a lack of a support circle. During those times, his delusions could range from the plausible "a bird got inside the house" to the very much impossible "everyone I ever knew are witches who perform dark spells on me to get inside my head". One time, he found a dead rooster in his backyard (he lived near the countryside back then and lots of neighbours had farm animals) and he accused my mother of having placed it there as a part of a ritual or something. He got very aggressive and violent at times during these low points. Those were horrible times. I'm so glad he's much better right now even if the journey to get here was extremely difficult.
I went to the er for severe dehydration and they admitted me to psych ward for 5 days and kept saying i was schizophrenic or bipolar 1 or 2 and having a manic episode. I am a combat veteran and i have ptsd depression anxiety. I was severely injured and been in pain since. Im making complaints and pursuing legal action. It was so traumatic smh.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU DR, This topic has become a LOT more than 50 years ago,
This is reallllly showing me I was there for someone’s schizophrenic break - huh. It’s good to have words, I guess. It was very stressful at the time.
I've been seeing these men around my house lately and have been hearing whispering people tell me to hurt others, or hear them telling me racist things, or homophobic things. I've honestly been thinking ive been losing my mind, but i think i might need to get a diagnoses - thanks for the vid, really helped
Get drunk asf
I think we all losing the plot after COVID. Our GOVERNMENTS IMPRISONED N LOCKED US DOWN. I'm already agoraphobia n now the WEF have made everyone agoraphobic. Agoraphobia is fear of going to far from home n can be linked to schizophrenia and OCD, amongst other conditions, such as paranoia, fear, anxiety, suspicion n contamination. COVID has really made everything hell. Still ppl r scared of virus.
Something to note is that being neurodivergent in any way makes you incredibly susceptible to outside influences.
If you are told that racists are everywhere, then if your mind is already venerable to suggestion, you may begin seeing or interpreting things around you as racist even if they are not.
I know schizophrenia runs on my dads side. I suffer from anxiety and depression and at times I can hear dobro e calling my name, but no one is there
Hey, sometimes hallucinations are just symptoms of a mood disorder, which can even make you psychotic sometimes. To be diagnosed with schizophrenia you got to be (consistently) psychotic for at least 6 months. Hope this was helpful
🙏 Thank You So Much for illuminating us about people suffering from Schizophrenia ... Looks like many drugs & alcohol addicts manifest these symptoms ... 🕯🌍
Yes! However, drugs themselves can induce these problems
Sometimes they stare fixated on an individual which is creepy
My mother has it. I've lost my father quite young so we're brought up by my maternal grandmother and uncle but she believes him and his wife are the villain. In her head my uncle and his wife killed my maternal grandfather. Goes to police station to have them arrested for the rest of their life. She break things at home, use abusive language, sometimes doesn't eat food we make saying we are feeding something to kill her. It's hard for us to take care of her. She would never go to see the doctor with us. And if someone tells her how exactly the thing is she would believe that person is being bribed by us.
What do I do? I wanna help her but she has completely messed up my mental heath. I have also lost my brother 3 months ago, he had duchenne muscular dystrophy, he was only 21 my little brother. Now it's just me, my younger sister and my mother left.
Our life sucks. Pray for us 🙏
I used to have auditory and visual hallucinations, I just ignored it and it stopped lol.👍
My best friend has skitzo affective (paranoid) He started drinking and it disappeared for 2 months...
Don't start drinking..just a statement
@@WyteChinpirayeah that's a slippery slope. Jeez.
I started believing in God and I noticed that these states of delusions cannot always be easily controlled or within grasp of understanding... But God can help anyone who asks Him, and if they are mindful and repent, and do not give in to such thoughts, they will be saved. But whoever gives in to evil thoughts, and whoever is delusional, if they give into their delusions, it only becomes worse and they fall into a state of great confusion.
I've seen many degrees of this and some people cannot see at all and are very well mannered, but lacking the intelligence it seems.. while others have the ability to see, but lack manners and even with their able intelligence, they lack compassion and composure.
I myself feel as if I don't know the mind well. Not well enough to speak on it. But if you do have good thoughts, you will be at peace with God, and if you have bad thoughts☝️, well then you become evil and suffer
@@LambGoatSoupso you started believing in a god just to experience religious delusion?
@@clown-cat check your name for reference, you clearly did not respond to anything I said. Nothing, on the nature of people having intelligence but lacking compassion like sophisticated and violent, or the ones being dumb but plenty full of compassion..
You made no reference to God helping you in times of distress by seeking wisdom or having in Him.
You did not even go to the degree of mentioning that good thoughts cause pleasure and bad thoughts create suffering. In no way did you respond to me at all. You made a cynical judgement and I think you should focus on the promise God has in store for, which is good, rather than make immature comments on how you clearly don't see that God is in every religion.
Good is God, and He gave you water and a mind to think, and a body that is able, and here you believe. But what do you believe? Are you thankful for these things, or do you walk with the man? The man is the individual who does monotonous tasks, has general basic functions like interpretation of your surroundings shape and movement, or how to walk, basic functions.. but you, you're the freewill that stretches beyond that into your inner voice. The one that is real personal. If you do not get your mind on a similar path to God's thinking, and genuinely repent, then you are prescribing yourself self destruction of the conscious soul.
You can become too absorbed into the idea of God, that you become delusional. Extreme religions are not Christlike. Islam is not Christlike. Just be good to others and follow God. This is what Jesus taught us, mercy and faith.🌠☝️
I feel like these things go unnoticed so easily
You must really adore a person to notice them having moodswings or unorganised behaviour
i used to think there were 2 people standing outside my window who were ALWAYS there and i would talk to them for hours and hours it was the weirdest shit

If you're living with ADHD, such as myself, do not pay attention to this video because if can create false opinions about yourself. However, if you experience more than 2 - 3 symptoms, then talk a behavioral professional that can help you.
My sister had all these symptopms 3 months ago. After starting some schizophrenia medicines these problems went away but recently she is again having fear and doesn’t feel well all day. Does she need schizofrenia medicines anymore? Her CT scan report came out normal. First doctor said it was psychosis but second dr. Said schizophrenia. We are very stressed thinking that may be she was diagnosed wrong.
Those last two, I can relate but it’s childhood trauma. 😬
Go talk to a psychologists because it may not even be this at all.
When I came home from college during winter break, my brother had been 18 for about 6 months. His face had completely changed. His behavior had completely been altered. One evening during my stay, he talked about voices in his head that told him things. It scared me to death! I've always known that he was schizophrenic after that day, but my mother denies it to this day, 25 odd years later. 💔
Did he mention voice of God military weapon? (v2K) Or psychotronic weapons etc. It's also known as electronic harassment / electronic torture. These are real technologies. I hope you at least research these things if he has mentioned them. It's only fair, as they are proven to exist.
Im so sorry your mother did not take your brother sickness seriously! People with mental health needs this social-net around them, to protect them, take them to doctorsapointments, provide things they need in times they cant do it themselves. They still have their own value and voice, but when its going downhill they need people that are willing to step up! Glad he has you! Hope your brother is doing ok ❤
that is such a great example of delusional thought
Dealing with a family member with this. These videos are so very helpful.
I always hear my name as no one say it , always being happy like in another world and body shaking and doing movement with no reasons.
The skin tag took me out 😂😂
It was oddly specific
I had all the symptoms that she mentioned, for ten years I thought that I was an immortal God, The worst of all was the uncontrollable bursts of laughter. I am currently on break from schizophrenia, since I have stopped believing in my delusions. I hope that its all gone. But they say it lasts your whole life. We will see what the next round holds.
Did you try to go to a psychologist to get a thorough diagnosis?
I have 2and 5 . I thought the diagnosis may have been wrong all these years but if these are the five main things that can classify you as a schizophrenic I understand why I as given that diagnosis now. I was diagnosed as a borderline schizophrenic.
Sounds like most politicians
LOL
I have all but disorganised speech and thinking and I’m relatively articulate at my meetings, getting a diagnosis has been a nightmare without risking going back into psychosis again, but sometimes I can’t hear people over the voices
My son has had disorganized speech for a few years now. He’s all over the place and forgets what he’s talking about. He doesn’t let me talk. He thinks he’s brilliant and everyone else is stupid but he doesn’t do much at all. I think he might have it. He’s 26 but acts 12 in many ways. He doesn’t see his friends much. He hadn’t been working and struggles at work. He doesn’t understand why he should be paying for his things. He expects me to pay for everything. It would be ok if it was because he was lazy and greedy but he is doing it because he thinks everything is wonderful and that’s normal and how it should be and I’m a jerk. I do nice things for him and he becomes angry. He has 2 symptoms for sure.
So, I have all 5. I took a test a few days ago online to see if I possibly was schizophrenic and it came back about 90%. I am probably going to try and get a proper diagnosis, but from what I’ve found so far I most likely am. Can’t be sure though. Thanks for the vid!
lol yeah sweetie ignore these internet swine according to her I also am a skitzo lol nevermind all the other, more rational reasons.😂.
ps I just checked your profile you seem absolutely fine : ). the fact u can make videos and perfectly recite sound bites proves it.
I get the laughing thing on occasion, it is a coping strategy I use to avoid taking life too seriously.
The second is facial expressions, although I tend to bounce between the extremes. People have noted I can come across bland, but it's not a perpetual thing.
Based on my own assessment, I do not meet the requirements to cause rise for concern.
You said how i write my science answer sheet what i write it makes sense to me but not for my teachers💀
LOL
What of pastors that say god spoke to me? Or politicians who claim to be the chosen one?
Dr. Tracey you are the best
Very accurate information 👍
Thank you for sharing.
damn i think my brother has this or is getting it idk but he moves around really weird sometimes, other times whenever im speaking to him and it's loud enough for him to hear me he just says "what did u say" and just looks at me like he's confused another thing is the way he talks he talks in a way where sometimes i cant understand him where he's just speaking ab things that dont even relate to what the conversation is even about like he's trying to make sense of something thats not even real hes being in a physiatric place whenever he was younger and i read online that whenever someone goes in places like those its a far greater chance for someone to develop this illness i feel so bad for him bc i wanna help him but he tells me he doesnt need it he then talks to me like its the last time were ever gonna speak idk what to do he's completely lost it with my family he doesnt trust them or love them anymore im the only one he can some what communicate in a way where he doesnt show any type of anger
Well, firstly, I'll start with... if you're the only that he can calmly communicate with and not display/show triggered emotions; then you're the one who needs to continue helping him [God Bless You and you're stress levels!]
Next, I'll say don't automatically assume or say guess that he has this specific psychological illness just because of this short video. Judging by what I've read so far in your comment, he seems to be suffering from episodes of psychosis. Yes, psychosis can be triggered by drug use. Also, it is linked to bipolar, schizo-affective disorder, MPD (multiple personality disorder), schizophrenia, and most folks may not agree, but even PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) which is something that not many people think about.
If you can one day try to help him get treatment, then a good thing to do, but if not, try to help with figure out an interest or activity that he may strongly like that doesn't involve weaponry of any sort and see if said interest/activity helps him to naturally focus on that. Now keep in mind, that it may not help immediately. but if he likes whatever activity that you try, then spend some time doing that and takes notes either with pen/pencil and paper or video with your phone/tablet. (AGAIN... NO WEAPONS, NOTHING SHARP!)
This is so scary. I’m just traumatized
She's talking about coping mechanisms of survivors of narcissistic abuse and abused by psychotronic weapons. There are only good and bad behaving people. The ones using psychotronic weapons on others or illegally neuralinking or neuro lacing people without their consent are the poorly deciding ones who aren't ok.
Exactly. The governarc. Worst sort of covert abuse with military grade weapons..
I wish Dr Marks knew I existed
There are other people that can help you just like Dr. Marks.
omg this is so relatable.
Once in french class I started feeling immense panic while I looked around me because I felt like I was being stared at.
I started laughing hysterically for a few minutes, causing the others to laugh a lot too.
But I got sent to the bathroom where I laughed even louder until I was filled with strange and random sadness and I started crying.
I guess I have schizophrenia !
1. Were you thinking of a funny memory in your head during event?
2. Or you could have Bipolar Disorder , That or Borderline Personality Disorder. (Or your just a weird kid)
I always sometimes hear my mom call me even tho she didn't
Oh no yall I think I'm Schizophrenic
you wish
Thanks to the voices in my head i always have company 😅
Bro I randomly start laughing and I swear at 3am I will see and hear shit that ain’t there
Can you notice negative symptoms?
My mother has schizophrenia so I am more likely to get the disease as well and when me and my mother catched some infection, her schizophrenia flared up again and I got terrible mood shifts, cognitive problems, apathy and a craving for blood which definetely was not normal. I also looked pale and had chronic constipation and abdominal pain and perhaps gallbladder dysfunction. I made an appointment with a psychiatrist/neurologist, but then I got Covid and had to reschedule the appointment and by that time, I already medicated myself using doxycyclin and that basically had all my psycho symptoms disappear but had my Covid symptoms reemerge. The only true diagnoses which I got during all of this was "lymphadenitis mesenteralis" (swollen lymph nodes in the abdomen). The doctors gave me pain medication which I never took.
In the end, all went well for me, even though those 5 monthes were the worst time of my life. My mother has not reached remission till this day though.
Dr Marks I have a question 🙋🏾♀️: When Schizophrenia is diagnosed, does the diagnosis frequently involve negative aspects of the behavior? I have not seen one as of yet, but I always wondered.
It depends on what you mean by "negative behavior aspects."
Yes it does include only negative. When you are schizophrenic in auditory hallucinations they say only negative things. There are no positives.
I was thinking it was just anxiety, dp/dr, depression, adhd, aspergers, autism ocd, and tics but after taking the free online inkblot test I've become increasingly more worried by how accurate this is to me. I got an 8/10 on that test
Whenever I’m about to fall asleep, I hear people asking me questions and I’ll answer them and then I’ll wake up to me saying the answer
It’s hard to sleep when u keep talking to urself
1. Delusional
2. Hallucinations
3. Disorganized thinking
4. Disorganized behavior
5. Dramatic decrease of facial expression, movement
How is this different from a drunk?
Can I get the main differences between this and autism?
With schizophrenia you have problems telling what is real or not (delusions, hallucinations etc.)
With autism you have social problems, stims, sensory problems, routines, etc.
How do they know no one else sees it? What if we're the ones who don't see it?
People thinking they're trapped in the wrong body is delusional behavior
I definitely hear things. I remember once I was little and I was running up and down my hall in my house next to my parents doorway I heard somebody call my name. I looked into the room and I saw something there too.
The auditory symptom is probably the most worrying one for obvious reasons
My wife's two brothers both have all these symptoms and are absolutely scared of me. I have no idea why. No one acts that way around me just them. Their mother and many relatives have schizophrenia.
i come here after i got posting at mental health hospital, so i get a one patient and ask her a few thing, but lastly i notice suddenly she smile without any reason, that is what make me feel creep and scared.💀
Thanks for that info:
I have psychosis no wonder when I talk people call me awkward or crazy but I'm not
My brother used to have schizophrenia, where he said it's most common when he's alone. It also told him to do stuff, he said the hallucinations he saw were a tall figure maybe 6 feet tall, with sharp hands. He got cured after a few months.
I only see and hear things but while sleeping most of the time and its rare too
I hear weird things in my ears. I look around. No one's talking to me. I don't really hallucinate much. I go off-track a lot and I feel it that seems right to me. I laugh just randomly a lot.
Most people are delusional though. Imagine for a second how mis-informed the majority of people are.
So it's similar to a comedown after smoking meth.after 2 days of no sleep, you'll see shadows moving and it scares you while you're forcing yourself to sleep so you turn on the lights.And you hear someone "pssstt"ing at you but there's nobody there.
I was with one for a decade, and his family didn't tell me he had that condition.
The truth is i am hearing people talk about me i am not having hallucinations or delusions i was completely alright its when they started injections and medicines that made me sick 7 years now stuck with medicines lifetime
Dramatically decreased facial expressions i got mentioned about me by a former cleaner in my building when he told my dad..
I can’t find my comment, but I wanna add I’m not schizophrenic. I’m spiritual, and I questioned the way that western medicine analyzes different diseases even of the mind. So why the behavior might be problematic if there is truth to it, our society may not be caught up to it. an example, a lot of times they hear things and see things that other people don’t, but we have multiple people that not only express document through Auto scientific methods, including machines that those things are physically measurable and they do exist. And so with my mind, things that if you live in a society were most people consistentlyvalue your experience or judgment, it could lead to paranoia or even other types of “”delusions. Basically a vicious cycle.
The nurse will just give u ice
Bro i got 4 and a half cause I’m not sure about that last one-💀
Well this makes sense. When my sisters and the neighborhood would play tag and hide and seek with our neighborhood kids, I'd get this uncomfortable case of the giggles where I just couldn't stop laughing and I recalled my sister putting her handover my mouth saying “shut the f up, if you keep laughing ill kill you” noe she didn't mean it in a serious way, it just was something that would happen from time to time and I couldn't explain it. It still does. I'm flat too, no facial expressions til I started my add meds anyway but no hallucinations until I got these meds anyway.. Which its the meds. It's very miniscule when I started them. But is it possible for someone to have other mental health things?
Like I'm bipolar, I suffer anxiety depression but also I have add and maybe that or autistic spectrum.. And these weird delusions but it's not like an invader. It's more like I know my problems will all be solved if or when I get married..(even though I've witnessed my mom and dads marriage together and apart be wrecked. And my sisters) but I have this odd sense of life is like a movie. I know eventually I'll snap out of it. And I'm working really hard keeping it to myself until now. I don't share this with anyone trust me it's embarrassing. I don't have any male friends except my last ex… and in regard to women. I can't have ANH female friends bc a) I don't trust them around my bf.. And I don't trust any of his female friends he did have around him..bc I've seen countless fimovies where girls friends become involved with the friends bf and the heartbreak hurts.. It sucks. Even at the place I go to now for treatment, I see this girl and Guy who went to treatment and met their before. They say that they are talking to eachothwr and she's married with a kid. It's not my business but I totally see what going to happen, all bc it's a plot in a movie that's quite common. That's the similar plot too in movies. This characters meet and bond and then something happens where she reaches out to him and they wregoing to hit it of and ruin her marriage and blah blah. I know people in treatment shouldnt date but it happens. I had an old friend who had a similar thing but she and him were together about three years and then he stopped his meds and it went downhill.
Could this be schitzo? Or some other crap? I got a lot of problems being serious
Outburst of laughing are puts you in so much trouble in class 😂😂😂😂
I have had all the symptoms kudos
Some things you describe are related to depression. Or if you say something stupid or ask the same question over and over again people will give you that face. Negative thinking and disorganized thinking can be someone being abused by there spouse or by stressed related issues. So, What your saying has to be on a different level of mental illness. Consisitent behaviors...
I have finally accepted and glad i finally know its just my sickness 😂
I AM love, I AM free, I AM whole, I AM full of joy, I AM fearless, I AM the source of all creativity, I have infinite potential, I AM healthy, I AM whole, I AM a masterpiece.... Every day, self affirm these TRUTHS to yourself all throughout the day and watch your reality change, because YOU are greatness. After time, this will reboot and reprogram one's mind, and the only thoughts you will have is the truth. I AM one. ❤
Disorganized thinking... I guess that's why politicians can't give a straight answer.
So I have all the symptoms but what if they’re all for valid reasons? I know people don’t like me. Why am I pretending that it doesn’t exists when they do.
Something that has a little truth but gets so blow out of control that it makes no sense at all.
well i don’t have delusions but people think when i say somebody sent a group of goths after me but that is real
Little or no eye contact isnt a symptom of a dysfunction. As shy individuals are meek/ modest. And what about low vision, individuals?
There is also sensory sensitive individual which by the way isnt sign of autism. There are a multitude of differences, individuals have, for whatever reason.
I have both really bad astigmatism and schizophrenia
My brother has these but Idk if he has hallucinations. He does speak in a disorganized manner, but when I asked if he hears or sees things, he says he doesn't.
bro my mom and i have been in a toxic relationship for too long.
we argue and fight a lot.
i now have big fears like if i was harmed by her during the fight, like i fear that she threw hot tea on ny hair or face.
bro is this the result of emotional abuse or is this schizophrenia
@@painkiller-px2wt please see a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist. They can help you. I'm sorry you're going through this.
Yup I seen all of those symptoms in one of my brothers and more but I also have seen many things that are crazy
I don’t agree with the term “seeing or hearing things THAT ARE NOT THERE”. I think what psychotics probably do is falsely interpret that which is there, whether it be in the outside world or in their minds.
I always feel like no one understood my answers. Or questions.
Hmmm. That’s what it’s called, disorganized behavior. I called it being illogical. Many students of mine had that symptom, disorganized behavior.
