The brain is one of the most astonishing, efficient, and intricate parts of the human body, and it is amazing what it can do unconsciously. It’s only when it stops functioning properly, such as in people who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, that we can get a true appreciation of the ease at which simple decisions are made by our brains. Dr James Kesby is a behavioural neuroscientist who has focused his studies on the brain circuits that underlie psychotic disorders and addiction. As an Amplify Fellow at the Queensland Brain Institute at The University of Queensland, he is particularly interested in how the brain computes uncertain situations in order to make an optimal choice. His work spans circuit-based approaches in rodents, to psychological studies in people (including those with psychosis). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Hello I am Callie Quinn! I was healed by Jesus from schizophrenia, He cured me! First I was born again, then I had the elders lay hands on me, and then I received deliverance, and I was healed! You must believe in Jesus, He can cure you and heal you. I didn't think that my schizophrenia was possible to be cured, but He did it! He is wonderful and will help you always and forever. He can save you. I hope to share my testimony to encourage faith and salvation in Him. Please if you are even a little interested in God, then please look into Him! He is great and has also saved me from suicide many times!

i don't have any hallucinations any more. I had a very rare kind of illness it was tactile hallucinations and I hallucinated and had slight catatonia, I was in the hospital many times, and was encouraged to take medicine, but Jesus healed me with absolutely no medicine. You have hope of a cure with Jesus. Medicine most likely wont cure it, but Jesus can cure it, as He cured it with me. PLease have faith in jesus

i’ve been dealing with psychosis, schizophrenia by myself, spent a lot of time in my head trying to figure out what was happening to me, everything i would say made sense to me but everyone around me always had this face of concern. Spirituality plays a big role in my mental illness, i remind myself i am not my thoughts, i am who i am in my heart space, and just focus on the things i love to get by. my memory is awful, and i’d say that’s the saddest part to it, that’s the one thing we all have as humans to cherish when time goes on, my relationships suffer alot bc i can’t remember much and it makes people irritated and they think i don’t care to connect and get to know them. It’s a lonely time but it’s helped me grow a lot as a person. it’s made me more thoughtful about what others struggle with in silence,

Not only can better decision making reduce symptoms, they can completely get rid of them. How we respond to stimuli brought on by psychotic symptoms affect how much deeper into the pit of psychosis we sink. So to reverse our responses is like rising out of the darkness of the pit whereas we were sinking previously. A lot of schizophrenia is fear based, and assumptions helps to fuel the fears. The symptoms stimulates fears which cause irrationally behaviors as we react to what we're shown to be truth. Everything comes so fast during psychosis and then rapidly builds on what preceeds the current experience. We don't have time to process anything and we're pressured to just react. So if we learn to allow the pressures to pass, and to chose how to respond instead of reacting, then the outcome will be different. There's an order to the madness my friends. Most people don't understand this. A great misunderstanding lies where we erroneously believe the mind can't return to it's original symptom free state. It 100% can. We're looking at schizophrenia through a poor lens, and people are continuing to suffer because we remain unnecessarily slow to understand what it continues to show us daily through each symptom.

@Kerstin Lyons Hey now.... you pretty much nailed it right on the head. That's the key. If we understood more about how our minds work at a younger age, then we could guard against schizophrenia. We can't stop what knocks at the door of our minds, but we can control what we let in. We can control the habits and patterns of thoughts that form within our minds. So before we get stuck in patterns of thoughts and behaviors that grow beyond our capacity to control, we prevent the seeds from taking root. Understanding this from childhood is the key. Moreover, this would also teach the law of success. It's the law of seeds. The natural world is the shadow of the mental world.

A key mention here is that it often comes on in early adulthood when we are trying to figure out who we are and what we want to do in life. I am a recovered schizophrenic who was diagnosed back in 1990/1991 and haven’t been on any meds since 1992/1993. I spent 4 weeks in a psych ward, underwent ECT, and had the whole gamut of very strong intrusive negative thoughts and voices and an intense hallucination…a snake-like creature with a lion-like head came out of a portal and entered my room through a cloud. I had no knowledge of Gnosticism at the time, but they refer to this entity as Yaldabaoth among other names. I truly believe schizophrenia is a shamanic/spiritual experience in which some surpass and others do not. Today, having overcome the illness, I live a successful and fruitful life.

I do a feelings check, am I hungry, angry, tired, lonely. I really, for me this is a must, when I feel the weight start to settle on my chest, I have to check my dates (certain dates within a calendar year can trigger an episode for me). I've come to peace with the fact certain people I just can't be around, including family, or limit my visit and time spent. Certain music I absolutely can't listen to, It's the frequency that's been used in that particular song. Last but not least.. I religiously take me SEROQUEL. I know that it makes a difference entirely, that's OK for me. GOD BLESS and SO MUCH LOVE 🙏💕🙏💕

Have you ever gotten drunk, smoked weed, or been under the influence of any other drugs where you had a "bad trip"? Have you ever had a nightmare where you woke up in cold sweats with your heart racing from terror? Recall the feelings of powerlessness within a nightmare, along with all the other emotions and thoughts. If you've been drunk before, recall the slurred words as you try to speak, along and the loss of control over the body, which at times, you desperately struggle to regain. Also, making poor judgment calls, experience drowsiness or high energy. If you've been high before, recall any hallucinations, paranoia, or delusional thought, believing you were something you're really not. You may have experienced "zoning" out, the uncontrollable laughter and weakness within the legs and the rest of the body. Schizophrenia features all of these, and then more, and at least some of them, 24/7 if not medicated. It is literally a waking nightmare. But just like you've awakened from your nightmares, return from the high of alcohol and drugs (if you've experienced either) so too can the mind of someone with schizophrenia awaken and return back to our shared reality. Your friend shouldn't give up hope. Schizophrenia steals hope because it is the light by which the individual is able to see their way beyond it. One of the most devastating blows of schizophrenia is to steal our light of hope. If the son has lost his, then it's imperative that the parent holds and carries the light up for him. Someone has to hold a vision of the desired destination. I wish them luck

Schizophrenia (& Bipolar) run in my family. The anhedonia, brain fog, and disinhibition seem to be the main disease and the hallucinations/delusions are side effect symptoms. It's like how AIDS patients get unusual cancers and infections because the immune system is severely damaged, but curing the cancers/infections doesn't cure AIDS. It used to be called Juvenile Dementia in the 1800's for a reason. I have schizophrenia and I think recategorizing it as a neurological disorder is accurate and would minimize stigma. And a lot of the general public know someone with elder dementia, so it would be easier for them to extrapolate their experiences into supportive behavior. People honestly make me worse by lecturing me about motivation or giving me "tough love" instead of just organizing my kitchen or helping me write a To-Do list. I wear a nicotine patch every day. I can still hallucinate but it seems to rebuild the filter in my brain. I'm excited to see researchers move towards studies on the underlying cognitive issues. I only knew to go looking for studies on nicotine in neurological and psychiatric disorders because my mother is noticeably "there" during her cigarette smoke seshs. There's a bunch of other things I do for my schizophrenia. Witchcraft, and cbd also help, but the nicotine patch is key. Nortriptyline seemed to help a lot, but I have trouble making money in a traditional job so I don't depend on pharmaceuticals I'd need health insurance for. I make more money when I'm gig apping or not dealing with workplace politics. I like temping, and entrepreneurship, too.

It's true that you don't realize that someone might even have it. I rented a room in a person's home once when my ex husband and I were starting out on our own. She seemed so wonderful at first. If she'd see us walking with groceries she'd stop to give us ride back home. She'd give us food sometimes. Always spoke friendly. There were a few warnings which I had no idea about because at that time of my life I didn't know my mother was Schizophrenic either because I had not found her yet. I found her at 25 but I was 21 or 22 then. One day the Landlady tells me about her "sister" being Schizophrenic. She tried to explain it to me. I didn't know if she hated her sister and was telling lies or what. I didn't really grasp it. Then one day she tells me to shut the lights FBI was parked outside watching her. I was like uuuuum, the Canadian FBI? We lived in Canada. I was like I don't understand why she thinks that especially since we don't have FBI here. I was like did she commit a crime in the States or what. Then she showed up at my work and I worked in a SPA then. She acted like she wasn't happy with our service made a fuss. I confronted her at home warning her not to come there again. Next day or same day she starts throwing out all her food from fridge accusing us of poisoning her. That was my cue to move out. When I discovered my mother was Schizophrenic then the landlady's weirdness started making sense. I do worry about it since I suffer from CPTSD and anxiety because Schizophrenia is hereditary but NOT guaranteed to happen. I am 48 now and I think I am ok. I hate it when people use the word Schizo as a joke to explain someone's behavior.

@ValerieSmith-du2pz 27 күн бұрын

Omg. I had something similar happen with a friend who told me her brother was schizophrenic. My mother (and me) have it, so I thought she'd be cool to befriend. I was crashing at her house and she randomly starting insisting my relative paid my rent for my former apartment. It was so weird because I corrected her multiple times before leaving the next day when she still was insisting and I got creeped out. My mother accused me of having it as a child (long before I developed it). My theory is that schizophrenics who accuse other people of having schizophrenia have comorbid borderline personality disorder. I think it's them projecting, honestly. People wih borderline personality disorder can also have stress-induced psychoses. The chick I was crashing with was dabbing thc, so I personally think that played a role, too. I also think it's really hard to accept you are schizophrenic. I knew I was schizophrenic for a long time before I could open up to people about it. I think some people are so ashamed, that they act out in gaslighty ways to avoid facing the truth.

@@AquariusDragon1 That's how I feel about meds, too. Like life can actually be this easy? 😅😂😅 I also have trauma issues, but I consider myself to have borderline personality disorder. But more of a antisocial "Don't tell me what to do or control me" version rather then the "Don't ignore me or abandon me" version that is the poster child of BPD. I've always had intense emotions and been prone to emotional dysregulation when stressed. Autogenic training and yoga really helps regulate my stress response. But I have to do it every day/multiple times a day to get therapeutic effects. I felt great on antianxiety meds but doctors tend to mistrust me because I'm demanding and difficult, lmao. So they refuse to give them to me and are like "be gone, Satan!!!" Antidepressants helped me a lot, though. But I really improved with the nicotine patch, so I think I just need an antipsychotic or mood stabilizer as a baseline part of my treatment. I think if you haven't gotten schizophrenia by like age 35, you're never going to get it. You may have a "light dose" of the 10 genes that cause schizophrenia, and just be like a whisimical or stoic personality. Whereas some people have a "heavy dose" of the genes, and are wired to develop full-blown schizophrenia depending on environmental factors.

From my own experience, when on antipsychotics, I could not even form a simple sentence. It was horrible. I am 2 and a half years off the antipsychotics now, and finally able to read and think again.

@isa_well... 16 months free myself after 12 years on 5 different types, side effects were horrific. No psychiatrist or mental health professional, would even consider as you described, being able to think again. the illness can take away quite a lot, but combined with drugs like olanzapine, quetiapine, ect, these are essentially nukes for the brain, which only makes the illness much worse.

Good question, these experts don’t ever factor into their research about schizophrenia the way that prescribed medications effect the cognitive functioning of the people who are required by law in Queensland to take the medication over long periods, even for the rest of their lives. So Dr Kesby predicts that brain neuroscience will eventually lead to better outcomes for the patients, but what if the meds are the primary cause of lifelong decision making problems. what will he do about it then? Chances are - nothing because there’s no other option for treating the disease within the limited scope of psychiatry any time soon, unfortunately. Can we take whatever he says anything other than wishful thinking? It gives him a good income to play around with his ideas, but as the father and carer for my son diagnosed with schizophrenia thirty years ago, I’m certainly not holding out any hope, I’ve heard many claims that researchers have made over the years that amount to zero, regrettably.

@@marykinsella417 Try telling that to a mental health professional, Mary! They would reply by saying that you lack ‘insight’ into the disease model which they operate under - different manner of behaviour and thinking patterns = pathology. That’s it, there’s no known biological cause/causes to justify this determination, but it doesn’t matter because it’s enough for them to convert symptoms themselves into a pathological diagnosis, unfortunately. Unless that circumstantial mechanism is overtaken by some new neurological compelling scientific reasoning somewhere in the nfuture that blows the DSM….guidelines to smithereens, the current model will prevail indefinitely. The general consensus of public opinion is willing to accept the system as it is currently designed because it doesn’t want to face its own fears about any disruption to society’s traditions. It’s meds forever, Mary!!!

It takes time for the antipsychotics to work, unfortunately. I had trouble reading or following conversations for a few weeks after my first episode. It's also VERY JARRING to reconnect with the way sane people view reality after the first time. I was super depressed and embarrassed about some of my behavior, and really hurt by the way some people handled my episode. It's very frustrating to feel like your relative is ignoring you, but his brain probably hasn't begun regulating itself. It's like how you put out a house fire, but it takes weeks to clean up & rebuild the house itself. Be patient ❤

That has been my worst fear ever and still is and I'm psychotic/ schizophrenic. You'll never convince someone with schizophrenia to implant something in their body and especially not in their brain, ever. People with schizophrenia already have a hard time talking to a psychologist or psychiatrist because "what if they use your information against you? What are their plans? Is this all part of a manipulative plan?" - and so on. I'm litteraly afraid to post this message rn bcs what if they figure out who I am by tracking my laptop or digging into my account?

@purplesky416 ideas of reference, where all little things can relate directly to us specifically. A group is down the street as i approach. They all laugh, I'll always jump to the conclusion they were laughing at me, these thoughts can feel as if they are not mine, ask someone next time you discuss mental illness with them, how would you feel doubting your own mind ? As schizophrenics, our perceptions can lie, our senses can lie to us. With other people (wife and kids in my case, my uncle and 2 friends) they help me see what the real world is, as I like to float in between the outer world and inner world. Don't be scared to talk to people about how you feel, most people are scared of taking about it when they know we have an illness mainly because they don't have any real knowledge about schizophrenia. 90% of the general public gets thier view from movies and documentaries, we're human also, but we've got to let them in to our inner world to see how our minds work differently, then friends and family can help 😀. Hope this finds you well.
