Hi everyone! We finally hit 5 million subscribers. Thanks for all the support! We will keep doing our best to make a difference in the world for you guys. In the mean time, someone made a reaction video of us. What are your thoughts? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7GnnaeT0Mrde2Q.html

From a schizophrenic, please don’t self-diagnose. I know a diagnosis is hard to get these days and the healthy system is a joke, but misdiagnosing yourself does more harm than good.

To all the people who have schizophrenia, I hope you are doing well.

I got diagnosed with schizophrenia 18 years ago as a teenage. Spent my whole life fighting schizophrenia. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

I hate doing a self-diagnose, but I can't seriously hide the fact, that most of this is present on me...

1. Delusions 2. Hallucinations 3. Disorganized speech 4. Abnormal movements 5. Decreased emotional Expression 6. Memory problems Remember to take care of yourself

My friend would've benefited from this video. Sadly, he took his life in October 2013 just a mere day after his diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. 💔 His mother and sister created an organization in his honor shortly after. Still going strong to this day.

Guys some of these symptoms can be a result of anxiety so don’t automatically assume you are a schizophrenic

i have maladaptive daydreaming. so when i was a child, i thought i have schizophrenia and i cant tell anyone because i thought they locked me in a hospital.

Psych2go doesn't realize this, but they are making everyone's lives better.

Summary: 1:05 - Delusions 1:43 - Hallucinations 2:16 - Disorganized Speech 2:42 - Abnormal Movements (Motor Behaviors) 3:34 - Decreased Emotional Expression 4:14 - Memory Problems Hope everyone is safe and doing well ❤️✨

the amount of stigma around schizophrenia makes me really angry. I hope that people will start to learn about what schizophrenia (and other disorders) actually are. also, have a great day!

I have a friend with schizophrenia that has explained some of his issues. Aside from the visual hallucinations, he sometimes has moments where is brain tricks his memory. So while he thinks he stood up and put the milk away, and truly believes he did, he never actually got off the couch. His memory almost immediately omits something it was told and his family has called 911 when they found him sitting on his bed, staring into space for hours. To him, it was just a few minutes. He explained a bit of visual hallucinations but they aren't really relevant to my comment but all in all, I'm really happy I wasn't unfortunate enough to have this.

There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. 🙏

Had schizoefftive disorder for 5 years and now im almost out of the recovery stage and all i gotta say is please dont take your health for granted.

I have Schizoaffective disorder and oh boy the psychosis is a living nightmare

I am now, a certified time traveler 👍

I hope everyone is okay right now whether you have an illness or not. Stay safe and healthy💖 Share your problems or worries and I will try to give you advice😊

I am not self diagnosing; I feel that a lot of this points to how I’ve been feeling for the past couple of months, (almost a year actually, I think) and how I’ve been behaving. Not only am I constantly paranoid about the inevitable or just absolutely bogus things happening or appearing (such as demons and monsters), but it keeps me up for so long at night because of how terrified I am of the darkness of the room, or the supposed breathing I hear in the corner of the room or underneath my bed, or my dead cat meowing outside my window. Some nights I wait until the sunrise so I can go to bed, and even then, I still press myself tightly against the wall, with minimal space to move, and shroud myself in my blankets and hide my face because I’m afraid of what I might see (I even cover my ears because I swear I can hear breathing that is not my own, a pair of heavy but slow footsteps on the carpet by my bed). My mind is constantly wondering in an endless daze and I’m always so paranoid and anxious. I hate being alone. I hate sleeping all alone, I hate closing my eyes when I’m alone. Some nights the paranoia is so bad that every single sound I hear has me twitching and whimpering uncontrollably; hugging myself, rocking myself, crying etc. I’ve been awfully catatonic too, not only constantly asking people to repeat what they said to me, but also not even being able to focus. I just wanna know what’s going on with me, I would totally tell my parents, but a few years ago I’d stopped talking to them about anything because they didn’t take me seriously. I’ve been bottling things up inside and it’s becoming painful. Mom’s literally LAUGHED at me when I told her that I felt like I was probably depressed or something and told her that I cry myself to sleep a lot and constantly have panic attacks. And I’m just afraid to tell dad anything because he’s so quick to anger. I just....don’t have anyone I can tell. I don’t feel safe. One of the reasons behind my anxiety and panic attacks are because I feel so alone, (I’m bi and non-binary and my folks are homophobic as well and transphobic and they’re always saying how that kind of thing is an abomination before the lord) and I don’t wanna have to explain myself and get thrown out or mess my relationship with my family up. I just wanna solve this some day (hopefully soon). I hate having to explain myself to people who don’t take me seriously or simply just don’t even try to understand because “it goes against what God says” or because I’m “too young to be feeling this way” or “it’s just a phase, you’ll grow out of it”. I just want a hug and some kind words, not a lecture and a quick “goodnight, sleep well” i never even get an “I love you”.

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2017, what the video says is absolutely right. I have about 4 of those symptoms but they're easily dealt with; with medication and a lot of support from close friends and loved ones....... So if you do have schizophrenia I'm here to tell ya its not the end of the world my dude. You can still live a perfectly normal and fulfilling life, just takes some self awareness, some routines and communication

*the art style is so cute..*

This video is literally 1 minute old how are the comments for 1 month ago WHAT

I have schizoaffective disorder (which is basically schizophrenia with a mood disorder). Thank you for raising awareness!

Shout out to my homies with a psychotic disorder. It is hard but we overcome. 🤙

I'm actually writing a character with Schizophrenia right now. I'm doing it from third person since I can't exactly put myself into that sort of mindset.

My brother has schizophrenia. Last year he stabbed someone because he had delusions that they were going to harm us. He just got sentenced to 11 years in prison.

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia a few years ago but never really looked into it till today. Watching this video really opened my eyes about myself cause a lot of the things in this video pertains to me. I recently got a mental health evaluation and a lot of the stuff on here was listed 😬

its so hard and painful to see my sibling become a different person.

I just woke up and it’s 2. I’ve been trapped unable to move cause I thought someone was watching me from my closet, under my bed, and outside my window. I had to calm myself down so I didn’t have a full panic attack. But I got up, grabbed my phone and started watching this. Thank you for helping!

This runs in my family and I'm constantly terrified I'll wake up one day hearing voices. I know that it can skip generations though and I'm 27 now and haven't had any signs so far. But it still scares me.

As schizophrenic this symptoms are pretty normal for schizophrenia but they can also be bc of psychosis or other disorders like she mentioned

I miss my Dad whom had schizophrenia. He was so funny. RIP Dad. Love you so much.

I swear, it's not the join button that makes you time travel.

I feel so bad for the people who suffers from schizophrenia. It must be so difficult for them dealing with judgement from other people who aren't educated enough with the topic. To whoevee suffers from mental illnesses, I hope you'll get better soon!!

Fun fact: Schizophrenia in Greece is written as : σχιζοφρένεια

Yes, I have had a few friends. Honestly, I had this horrible impression that people with schizophrenia were super scary and dangerous, but I liked the two girls I knew and didn't even know until one of them told me. They are humans too, and are a lot more like us than society makes them out to be. So yeah, I was naive to think that about people with schizophrenia.

Yo, this is the first time I've ever time traveled! Didn't think it would be so easy.

I hope everyone has a good day everyday. Remember to take care of yourself and try your best to be happy. You matter.

About 3 years ago, I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia and DID. Life has been terrible, like I try to keel it cool and calm, but ultimately it fails. I still going to push through, I don't want to give up. I hope those who suffer from mental disorders find that light at the end of the tunnel.

Remember kids, just because you experienced hallucinations doesn't mean you have schizophrenia. You hallucinate without being diagnosed with schizophrenia. For an example, Insomnia especially with extreme cases you can hallucinate. I've had that happen to me before but I've never been, nor do I believe, have schizophrenia.

my friend has it he was said it was really really bad when he was 12 but luckily it's gotten better

I have DID and thought originally it was schizophrenia. So did one of my friends. But then my alter started to learn more than me, and recognized that I existed. We both realized it around 2013. 2018-2019 a third joined. It's been tough, but just know no matter who you are, you are loved, no matter your "malfunction"

I'm diagnosed with ASD but many of my favorite people on this Earth are Schitzophrenic. I feel like they GET me. Don't ever let a diagnosis get you down or hold you back. 💜

I am schizophrenic (been diagnosed many years ago) and i just wanted to add that you can also experience smelling hallucinations (dont know the fancy word for it) but its quite rare. Also please, if you think you are, get a diagnose, and take the meds. They can have a horrible effect and you will most likely never live like most "normal" people, but you will live. Im 32 now, and i promise you it gets better, even if you dont belive it.

Was diagnosed recently, A lot of people don’t know this but some schizophrenics like myself can get motion sickness from certain visual hallucinations and it’s the worst feeling ever to always feel nauseous dizzy and have a terrible headache all the time because of your hallucinations

I have had all these signs. Its really scary sometimes. Especially when your having an episode around people. Unless you are a a trained professional most people just don't understand. It took me a long time to except the diagnosis and still have Anosognosia at times. I have learned to live Schizophrenia and am no longer ashamed that I have Mental health illness (schizophrenia)

There are no guarantee in life that you will have perfect health. Even if your thinking is perfect and your behavior is immaculate, though your risk may be much reduced for accident, illness or injury, you still have this risk because that is part of being in the world. People often want to eliminate the idea of risk. They do not like the idea that they have to live with risk, and so they believe, “There is really no injury or accident in the world. There is no sickness. It is all the result of human dysfunction, and if human dysfunction could be eliminated, well, there would be no accidents, injuries or illnesses.” Again, look at the world around you. Look at the plants and the animals. They all take a risk in living here. There are no guarantees that everything will go perfectly for them, that they will all live a long span of years. To be in life, you must be in life as it is not as you want it to be. To experience life, you must experience life as it is and not as you want it to be.

I miss this VO! welcome back!

First watching this video made me realise that I had a few of the symptoms but didn't really think much of it, but after counselling and meetings with psychiatrists I was finally diagnosed a few weeks ago and given tips and medications to help and it's changed my life so thank you

🎉Congratulations on 5 millions! 🎉

what the, ive had schizophrenia for about like a heap of years and this is the most concise explanation ive ever heard. as well as hitting the nail right on the head.

I’m using this as part of my research into schizophrenia because I think I have it and I’m gonna talk to my doctor about it. Thanks for talking about this in a simple way

I had a friend who had schizophrenia. He was at a decline: started diving everyone, threw away his job, his spending habits were more lucrative, and had improbable life plans. His personality changed he was more arrogant and hostile. When he got to the peak of his mania his thinking prossess was on the lines of 2+2= fish, he kept on getting arrested for trespassing and public disturbance. Then was finally put into a mental hospital and was given treatment. His life got fucked. But he is on cylinders. The most jaw droping thing is in his mania he still retain his intelligence and smarts, and when he was getting visited he stoped being all loopy and acted normally.

Congratulations for 5 M views,psych2go! You deserve it for so much help

This channel is really helpful for people like me who are trying to write realistic, non offensive characters. Of course, i go to multiple sources like interviews and articles

I got diagnosed with schizophrenia and I hated believing it so much that I would cry so hard because my uncle had it and my family was over reacting and calling him insane so I was so scared that they would react like that with me and wow now that you put it in small words this explains it a whole lot now

Thanks for this video I needed it from a long time 💜

please be careful if u are reading this, getting my diagnosis took over 6 months and so much annoyance, i knew i needed help, meds, something but i hate speaking to people in real life and talking to therapists is really hard for me it drives me so insane, its not worth going through this process if you are not sure you really need medicine for your illness u believe u have, please take my warning

This information is life-saving. Thank you so much!

2:27 I was not expecting Gawr Gura to make a cameo. Quite a pleasant surprise 💙🦈

have been through this....and I hope no one who came here face this or if anyone is....I wish ur life gets better ❤️

I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia 5.5 years ago. I spent 1.5 months in hospital

Omg, I love so much you using memes to explain better, I love it! ❤️ You're great!

Way to handle criticism from other channels with an open mind and maturity. I've been watching your team respond in the comments, bravo. Having the links up front and at the end of your videos allows those of us who watch you peer review and take things seriously. This channel needs to be that way because of the topics it covers, and we are serious about this. Keep up the hard work and treat every video like a final project. less videos maybe but at this point your reputation is more important than views. Thank you.

Honestly, the Psych2Go videos are so beneficial for me. I'm an aspiring author and I enjoy making characters with realistic mental health disorders to make them more relatable, and videos like this one are absolutely perfect for quick reference to symptoms and signs. Of course I always combine the Psych2Go videos with online research to make characters as accurate as possible, but the videos are a massive help. Thank you so much Psych2Go!

I just noticed that I was staring to have delusions and once I watch other symptoms I looked back at recent times in my life and notice I have had these other symptoms my mom who is doctor thinks I might be schizophrenic and has told me to monitor my movements to inform her about more delusions and other weird thing that may be a symptom this video really helped me notice that what I thought was normal isn’t and now I want to seek medical help other than my mom so thank you❤️

I’m here for the Gawr Gura but I watched the whole video. It’s pretty good!

Shoutout to dem fellow time travelers!

As someone who has schizophrenia, this really helped me learn more about my behaviors and what makes me unique. Thanks for this helpful video!

Congratulations on 5 million subscribers!!!

In our country, a schizophrenic inhabitant of the Iraq with schizophrenia ran amoc with a car and while in court, he at first lamented having lost his children while 5 minutes later not recalling them any longer. This is truly frightening

Thank you for the videos you create. it's nice to have videos like these to help break down a lot of the clinical "jargon" the doctors use to help understand certain aspects of a diagnosis.

1. Delusions 1:04 2. Hallucinations 1:42 3. Disorganized speech 2:16 4. Abnormal movements (Motor behaviors) 2:41 5. Decreased emotional expression 3:34 6. Memory problems 4:13 I hope I could help! :)

The best channel that describes the illness an broke down the realness very well

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and didn’t really understand it but then I watched this and it really helped

*when most of the comments say 1 month ago*

Hello future people :) Hope you figure out how to time travel soon!

Thanks for all the required information.

Congratulations for the 5M iloveyou!!

When you finally take those meds you were prescribed, and it turns out Psych2Go doesn't actually exist.

thank you! i was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder bi polar type and i now i know why.

this video is extraordinarily informative!

all the people with schizophrenia are so strong. I admire all of you.

I have yet to be diagnosed with anything, but there's definitely something wrong, but mental health means nothing to my parents so that's fun

NO IM NOT SCHIZOPHRENIC IM SIGMA!!

I feel bad about joking about hearing voices. People really do struggle with this and I have taken it lightly. God bless you.

personally thought i might have schizophrenia, watched this and found out i don't, this is why i watch these. thank you

OMG CONGRATS ON 5MIL! YOU GUYS DESERVED IT

Two of my uncles have schizophrenia and I take care and love them very much ❤️

Disorganized speech is also pretty common with adhd btw. I should know since me, my dad, and my older brother have it

I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia and major depressive disorder,I hear voices and whispers often,I often see imaginary people following me and staring at me often,I have memory problems a lot,I really feel bad when people misunderstood me or hate me for this condition

Yes, it's helpful for me, relatives of mine suffer with this, so it's important for me to understand them better, so thanks for explaining, it was very insightful and comprehensive.

Please do a video on substance abuse - particularly weed, I've seen friends rabbit hole themselves and develop schizophrenic like symptoms!

I saw a lot of your videos about mental illnesses and I find them really interesting, could u pls do one about ADHD

Gotta love how they are putting some memes over the videos, thanks for the great work!
