Soft white underbelly has a video titled schizophrenic man interview- Chris (different Chris) it’s a young man who’s currently on medication explaining in great detail what it’s like for him during psychosis and what it’s like for him every day even on medication. Very interesting, would love to see your take.

As a caregiver, I've had the opportunity to interact with people with schizophrenia. As a psych major, I will carry those connections with me into my career. It is very difficult to treat and they have such tormented daily lives. They cannot trust their own thoughts or perceptions, cannot tell fact from fiction. And they are so vulnerable to homelessness and drug use. We need to help and protect people with schizophrenia.

I have scitzophrenia and I have to disagree about not knowing fact from fiction. I have hallucinations and disillusions, and perhaps while having these things you don't know. But if you study about your illness you then can have an ability to determine what's real from not,even if it takes some time to understand.

Great analysis. I watched all of Chris' interviews. And have seen him in another video , he was lined up to get food & he was wearing a suit. His behavior was the same , quiet & polite , distant. His dad & sister are interviewed by Mark, as they went to CA to try and find & get Chris help. In Marks latest video of Chris he is still on the streets, not taking his meds. I cant remember if he agreed to speak to father or go home. This is sad , a young man who is ill & his life its at risk. Hes been on the streets for a few yrs now. To me he seems likeable.

My son is schizophrenic. I have been dealing with it for about 14 years. Frontline, Daily emersion into this hellish decease. Here is what I have learned. The mental health system in place in America today fails schizophrenics. Complete failure. Let me explain. My son has been admitted to mental health hospitals over a dozen times. They hold him there and give him medicine and he returns to a state that seems normal. Here's the failure part. Then they release him. Within a week he has collapsed right back to a homeless drug user every time. I've seen some of the bills for this treatment. Keep in mind tax payers pay for this. Usually they will keep him for a week but I have seen him stay as much as 30 days. The bill for that thirty day stint was over 80K. In an old fashioned mental institution that would have taken care of him for over a year and that's what he needs. A hospital where he can't leave and is given his meds daily. He would be a great patient. When he is on his meds he is kind and glad to be helpful. At a place like that he would love to help in the dining room or laundry and it would give him a sense of purpose. Instead he roller coasters between clinics and sleeping on the street. It's is just sad that we spend the time, money and resources but it is mostly wasted on the wrong kind of treatment. Also, don't even begin to tell me you somehow know better. I have lived this. Long term in facility treatment is the only thing close to dealing with this in a compassionate way.

I’ve been in therapy since 18 after my 2nd attempt. In the USA you would never ‘tell’ a patient “there was NO abuse or anything crazy like that “ even if they were declared incompetent and clinically insane . That is considered programming response by the counselor . Complete ignorance of the practice of listening, and encouraging the patient to share their own ‘story’ even if it’s full of lies, half truths and inconsistencies, which is often the case when the memory attempts to protect the patient from pain by altering memories from their actual accurate history

I've never ever understood the meth addiction. Looking at people on meth gives me anxiety. When their arms are moving all over by themself, their upper body is moving in another direction and their heads turning almost around. It looks like Adams family or some horror thing when your body is possessed. It's absolutely impossible for me to understand how someone can like being like that. MDMA I definitely understand! That seems amazing, I'd love to be like that. Also opioids, that I can understand. But the meth thing just looks like the most horrible way of being. Is it that they don't feel the way it looks? Do they feel amazing? They don't feel the arms and body living it's own life? What does it feel like to be totally out there on meth?

@inpropriapaislee 7 ай бұрын

The MA in MDMA is literally methamphetamine so, do with that what you will. This sounds way more like crack cocaine addiction than it does meth addiction. Many meth users are normal, functioning people and you'd never be able to guess they're using. Methamphetamine is a legal prescription medication in the US as well. Everyone reacts to drugs differently, so there are some case where people have a reaction to methamphetamine that causes the symptoms you describe. However, when I used meth, nearly everyone I knew who used either worked or took care of their multiple children without nearly anyone who wasn't using with them knowing what they were doing. I worked well in excess of 80 hours a week at one point when I was using at a business that I owned, and at another point I had a successful marriage and family life and when we decided to clean up, it wasn't the difficult to nearly impossible situation getting off of a drug that causes physical dependence like an opioid or benzo. Alcohol is by far the worst drug imo to become addicted and dependent on. I hold strong in my opinion that the effects of alcoholism itself ruin people and ruin families, whereas the effects of the social stigma and stricter laws surrounding the use of methamphetamine are responsible for a greater number of the social issues and ruined lives/families than anyone cares to admit. I don't think anyone should use drugs, especially not in an ongoing addiction, and there are negative effects on your health galore - but it is not the same level of physical detriment for everyone or even for the majority. Ideas like this encourage social stigma & discourage those in active addiction from seeking treatment. Just food for thought.

I have a binge cycle I need to break, where I work 14 hours on Saturday, then get totally wasted on Sunday, and piece it pack together through the week. I wish Chris hadn't brought up meth. My co-best friend, the son in our Trinity, got into meth in the last year or so, and I wasn't in town to help him. He lost many people, including me, so I understand his impulse to do hard drugs.

When I was in my early twenties I tried pot for the first time, and I believe it put me into a psychotic state. I continued to use it, even though it induced this state in me. It's hard to describe, but I 'disappeared'. My self became very difficult to find, and I couldn't perceive my environment properly. There's schizophrenia in my family background, and my personality may be schizoid (not firmly diagnosed, but noted as a possibility by an assessing psychiatrist). As I've grown older, I no longer have this intense reaction to marijuana- I manage to stay within reality and in control.

There’s people that have some level of insight during psychosis. So if they do some reality testing it could help.

Not educated at all in this, except that I learned from reading. Not only drugs can cause psychosis, also trauma of any sort. So drugs really doesn't have to be the culprit for Schizophrenia to get triggered. At the same time, Schizophrenia and probably Bipolar has very limited research and have been changed since the 70's. I also want to point out, that memories and feelings are very interconnected and that connection is pretty much the easiest way for our brain to recall memories or feelings, or other senses like smell etc. So, this last thing I'm gonna mention is more just a theory of mine, but should be pretty logical in my opinion. That is, that even a memory that, most likely is traumatic, and therefor is "mentally ignored" to cope, could easily be triggered when for example feeling or smelling something that is associated with this traumatic memory. Please, educate me if I am wrong, the last thing I want to do, is to spread false information. That's already done so well about drugs in general for example.

This reminds me of seeing a documentary about the eugenic race institute we had in sweden in the 20s, measuring and photographing the "less desirable races" as to avoid degenerative mixing of the races, made without consent or regard for the actual human being studied. This interrogation of a severly mentally ill young man, without a single hint of empathy feels just as inhumane. It's inexplicable to me why you are more interested about his daily drug use than the actual reasons for his psychosis and a deeper analysis about why he left his parents etc. Just completely missing the mark and as such no important information is gained. He is obviously completely broken down, ashamed and hearing voices, so asking him to be alert (through a microphone?) is just obnoxious. This is not help. This is shaming and humiliating a human being who clearly is suffering deep trauma from being emotionally abandoned as a child. The drugs being the distal cause and certainly not the proximal. You are just reading out of the DSM for the analysis. Pretty poor effort to say the least. And the way you are laughing through that last part is very disturbing as well. I feel so sad for him when you put him on the spot about quitting and making him self concious about what he clearly is unable to stop. If this is the state of psychology and care for our most vulnerable it's no wonder mental illness is on the rise.

In assessing this man based on this video, it could be quite enlightening to see the couple previous videos. Some of his answers are completely different, including his age, prescribed medications, childhood experiences, when his symptoms began etc... He's clearly not in touch with reality in this video at all, and I don't know if he's even able to really hear or understand Mark here.

I'm surprised its not the medications making people have this "affect" and slowed speech, vs. Their actual symptoms. After a while, how can you really tell the difference? 😢 I just see overmedicated people suffering side effects of the meds. Sad.

Some say only 1% of the population will have schizophrenia. And others say 1 in 100. Which is more statistically accurate?

The only medication that causes hyper salivation would be Clozapine. Doubt he’s taking Clozapine due to his being homeless, unstable, and no support system.

Metabolic mitochondrial dysfunction in the brain! Practice and understand the Brain Energy theory and put these people on low carb or Ketogenic diets. There is a lot of change on the horizon and if you’re a psychiatrist in this day and age and not recognizing the Brain body dysfunction theory you have nothing to say! Current treatments are abysmal

Chris did NOT consent to you evaluating him publicly on your channel. He consented to be interviewed by Mark, who is not a medical professional, just a caring and interested person who documents the lives of people he meets and who willingly come in to talk to him.

9:06 MDMA LD50: 180mg/kg. So, for a 50kg person, LD50 is 9000 mg. Life is already scary. Let's not invent fears, ok?

@ChadbourneZitek 11 ай бұрын

Toxicity isn’t the only harm a drug can have, and it isn’t the only way that a drug can be lethal. That said, I do agree with you that MDMA is often demonized much more relative to drugs like alcohol, for no other reason than cultural acceptance. Arguably alcohol is a much more harmful drug than MDMA.
