@@douglasjones5630 "I Love People who are in Need! Look toward God and the Lord Jesus Christ for Salvation!" So you can manipulate them into your 2000 year old cult? Very pseudo-honest...

Lance Lust . It’s not only Christians that manipulate the vulnerable. Recently a young man who I have know since his birth took his life at age 32. He had been in and out of psychosis for some years. During his illness the Church of Scientology fleeced him of every penny then abandoned him. Not one member of their cult attended his funeral. To his death he believed that they were the only ones that understood him, in reality they just fed his illness to facilitate the theft.

I was diagnosed with paranoid schizoaffective disorder at BCT that was an interesting experience

i (and my therapist) believe my father has schizoaffective disorder and would be diagnosed with it if he would receive mental help.

I relate, im 18. Just wanna say, if it means anything. Great job man, it aint easy going through a dual disoder. You are strong and you can keep going. Thank you for your comment i needed reminded. Be happy & blessed

How you doin

Do you get violent outburst or violent thoughts?

Drugs help speed up schizophrenia development. A lot of people don't know but things like thc (weed) and the chemical compound in benadryl can cause hallucinations. Stay away from everything if you value your life.

What does an Episode feel like

I don't know if you would mind me asking some questions. My son (25 next month) has a bipolar disorder and he won't take meds because makes him feel like a zombie. TODAY he had a very serious psychosis while we were fishing and got upset because he thought his friend was hitting on his girl. He went into a psychosis and took my gun out of the glove box and went after his friend and told him he was gonna kill him. I started screaming for help. I got him in the car and he had the gun and told me he was gonna kill me and himself. I have never been so scared. He was like, go with me mom, just me and you, we can be together forever cause just k ow when you die, I'm gonna blow my brains out. He talked about murdering people to make him feel better. I WAS SO FREAKING SCARED. I pulled over to a gas station, locked myself in the bathroom and called 911. He was screaming at me from the cop car a d banging his head on the wimdow, then 2 minutes later he was laughing and said ya'll got me like a bird in a cage. The cops took him to a treatment facility and said they were not going to arrest him b/c clearly he was having a mental health crisis. If anyone can answer who has been through this- will he remember everything that happened today or will it be foggy. They called me from the treatment facility asking me if he was allergic to any meds. I could hear muffled screaming in the background. I said, is that him, she said yes, he is throwing things, tearing up the unit. They were about to sedate him. I feel so lost. 😭 I'm praying this community can help me out. Signed- heartbroken at the beach in Florida. It's almost 10 pm at night and I came to the beach after the police took him. We come here to watch the sunset about 4x a week.

I'm schizoaffective, PTSD and ADHD. I think I'm also high functioning autistic, but it's not enough to get a diagnosis. And I found that I felt validated after getting my diagnosis as well. I was 38, so I had lived through a lot that I felt was just a weakness of my character. But I know now it was a sickness and it wasn't my fault. I feel so much better thinking in that way. It's definitely a shitty diagnosis, but I can now sperate myself from it.

I would agree about getting too focused on extremes of Bipolar illness because most people with bipolar disorder live in the middle of the poles, experiencing them simultaneously in a Mixed State or adgitated depression. Clinicians often misdiagnose this or miss it totally.

I’ve heard Dr. Phil say the same thing. He doesn’t like “labels.” I’ve been misdiagnosed with bi- polar and I had to do my own research. I have Borderline Personality Disorder. My psychiatrist (30 years experience) said that these two mood disorders have some many overlapping features. That bi-polar can be a “catch all”

This is such an incredibly validating and helpful conversation! My psychiatrist has been suggesting bipolar 2 tendencies since 2017, and she has just recently suggested that I may have ‘cycled’ and brought up the topic of mood stabilizers. It’s been is SO tricky to be on the same page with her because there have been a bunch of life transitions from 2017 until now - (a new career path, a move to a new state, new friends, new schedule, etc) In the past I’ve looked up symptoms of BD1 and BD2 and I’ve been wracking my brain over this for years! Was it a life event and my reaction to it depression and anxiety, or was any big transition a result of a manic or hypomanic episode that needs to be controlled? This is the first time when I have received any sort of diagnosis where I couldn’t look up the symptoms, check off the boxes, and say “Yup! This is exactly how I feel!” I also could only relate to pieces of people’s stories about their symptoms that lead to a diagnosis, but nothing has been concrete. I’ve also been talking about it in therapy and received a second opinion. If you asked me this question before, I would have said “ absolutely not! Clear cut answers only” But with psychology being on a spectrum... it makes someone very aware of just how different everyone’s symptoms are, how different everyone is effected by their medication, and how individualized a treatment plan is. This is an all-around great adoption in psychology, and I hope this level of education continues for anyone not belonging to the mental health community.

Victor Blake, can I ask if sometimes doctors hide your diagnosis from you or if they are not just not sure? Because all I get told is that I have a psychotic disorder and anxiety/agitation. But I don't trust them coz I was diagnosed with depression age 17 but long story short I had a messed up childhood and was getting sent jail probation etc. I found out years later my probation officer was liaising with my doctors and that I had been labelled as having ASPD from my behavior in my childhood and early twenty's. Then I was sectioned for the first time when I was 26 and put on Olanazapine. Within a week of discharge I stopped taking it because it was horrible and I was convinced they are trying to kill me (and the side affects back that up we?) But anyway sorry I just mean do they sometimes lie to you about your diagnosis or do they just not know sometimes? Bless up

I'd recommend trying to find a "friends and family" support group if you haven't already! I am with someone who has a mood disorder and joined a few online group sessions with DBSA (depression and bipolar support alliance) early on in our relationship. It gave me a good foundation and I know if things get challenging, I can join in a session and get practical advice from others. I also got counseling for myself, which helped me get perspective on any disagreements and work on boundaries, grounding techniques, etc.

You are in a tough place love. There are tools out there to help him but unfortunately I am not versed enough to tell you who or where. Love to your guy, hope he finds help on his life journey.

I am with someone diagnosed with Schizophrenia and Depression, and have been for almost 9 years. Things have been difficult and have gotten more so. I, in the past, have allowed myself to be isolated because of his suspicion of other people, and anxiety about what he seems to see as interlopers in our relationship. Please do not accept this state of affairs! I have, since, gotten support in chemical dependency recovery groups and friends in school, and it really helps to provide some perspective from objective parties for both people, if he’s open to input and for you, if not. I love someone’s idea of a specific support group for friends and family...I think I will look for that right away. My relationship has been a real roller coaster because he will be extremely close with me and then withdraw, when his perceptions change. I can’t ever take for granted that he will trust me, and he has become less trusting through the years, not more so. This, despite it having been my mission in life to earn his trust by being honest and trustworthy. This is an exercise in frustration and sadness...so I now have other missions, as well (school, cats, friends, family...). At the same time, I have become stronger and more resilient, because I have learned it is not about me when he is experiencing symptoms, so I’ve come a long way at not taking it personally. This actually tends to make the paranoia (regarding me) dissipate, to a degree, because he used to interpret my anxiety as being guilty of the imagined scenarios in his mind. I know this sounds horrible, but it’s really just one aspect of our relationship, which has many positives. He also tells me often that he doesn’t objectively believe I have done, or will do, him harm. They are just perceptions he has sometimes, which, he has an underlying awareness, are not real. He’s not controlling or abusive; he’s scared. The difference is in how he treats me when these things are going on with him. The withdrawal is what’s hard to cope with, when he can’t trust. I DID have a husband of 12 years with Schizoaffective Disorder who was abusive & I should have left much sooner. I now know that going through a lot does not mean you have a right to hurt those around you, nor am I bound to take care of someone. Overall, I’m very happy with my relationship, even though I have had to accept that someday he may not know me (he is not taking prescribed medication). I am in this for as long as he will let me be, and I focus on the joy we have right now. He is brilliant and gentle...just exactly who I want to be with. I wonder what it says about me that all of my long-term relationships in childhood friends had one of the schizo- disorders. I’m diagnosed with Bipolar 1. I wish you so much luck in your relationship and in life. I wish I knew how to get someone to seek help and follow through with it! We’ve been on a roller coaster with his treatment. There’s a lot I had to let go of, but it has enabled me to enjoy their relationship more, although it is hard to accept the no-meds situation. My meds have helped me so much! But he is afraid his will hurt or change him in a negative way. Definitely would be good to seek some support, as it’s hard to not try to control the outcome! Sorry for writing a book...best wishes to you both!

I have seen my man go through life without medication and with and it is night and day. I supporting him In Going off of his meds and seeing what it was like and it was a nightmare. I told him I can’t go through it again even though I hung in there. I told him I can not be with him if he doesn’t stay on his meds. Take care of yourself! It can be hard and scary as a companion, friend, relative. I think I encourage my companion in a good way to stay on his meds because he knows I won’t put up with him otherwise. I believe in god and in natural ways of healing, however, meds do have their place and can help people with true disorders such as this. God bless you both.

having schizoaffective disorder myself, i've found that medications and just talking about it actually helped me a lot also journaling helped me vent my fears and concerns.

I freaked out when I got that diagnosis. I thought it was a death sentence of sorts. Now with proper medication and therapy as well as support I'm good.

@@amandaowens8458 I am so happy to hear that, my cousin has schizoaffective disorder but she's not in good condition for the last 8 or 10 years with taking of medications. She lives in back home Ethiopia. She is now 28 years. If you don't mind can you give me please some tips about treatment, coping mechanisms... that helps her . I look forward to hear from you Thank you Minwuyelet Abebe , Maryland USA

@@amanuelabebe3450 the core needs are several that can make all the difference. The first thing I had to do was sit down before I had a doctor's appointment and write a list of symptom even if they didn't seem related. I found having help with this was important. One time when I did this we found out I was reacting negatively to one of the meds I took. The right doctor makes all the difference in the world. Depending on just how sick you are you may want to take someone with you that's familiar with your particular symptoms and issues. This could be a family member or an advocate. The thing to watch out for with doctors is how they act. Are they listening and have the mentality that they're a part of the team. Are they dismissive? If something strikes you as odd or wrong find another doctor. I had one doctor that didn't believe I had schizo affective because I was too together. I eventually ended up going to the hospital. Even when I asked if I didn't have that why an I seeing and hearing things that aren't real. His answer was I don't know. So, look out for the doctor. Be honest. Always be honest. If you can arrange it get an actual treatment team. That means you have your regular doctor working with your psychiatrist and your therapist. That can be hard to find but even if you can just get two of the three that's great. Learn and use coping skills. There's loads online. Those of us who suffer from mental illness take a huge blow to our self esteem. This is where working with a therapist and even attending some kind of group therapy can be a huge help. If you can't do it face to face see what is online. Above all of these things you have to be ready to do the work. I hope this helps ☺️

Stay home

nai nai Bipolar with psychosis does have similarities especially with treatment but they are two different diagnosis and are clearly separated in the DSM manual.

You have a very strong point in this appraisal. Indeed caretakers, patients and family members need a guide to either help oneself or others.

This is definitely the value of labels and diagnoses. It's just unfortunate when medical professionals aren't able to make accurate diagnoses and can't determine the best course of treatment for patients. I am sure it is something that will improve with time though.

Would tend to agree. Still seeking a specific diagnosis for our daughter. Has anyone reading this had a PET CT scan (brain of course) to help with diagnosis? Thank you in advance🙏🏼

What is it like to have this disorder?

Your belief in God is one of your delusions mate

God bless you Dan. Faith, Family, and the help of medicine can go a long way in helping people stay on a firm foundation through out their life.

God bless you my faith in Jesus has helped me I am recently diagnosed bipolar and having struggles please pray for me

​@AlexandraDaddario-qo1tpmicrodosing shrooms? Does that work?

​@AlexandraDaddario-qo1tpit's very difficult to source shrooms How do I get some shrooms?

​@AlexandraDaddario-qo1tpthank you so much I'll search for him right away

Wait so how do I know which one I have or if I'm schizoaffective does that incorporate into it like so if I'm on the scale is it bipolar 2 on the scale or bipolar 1 or am I not really bipolar at all because its a different thing entirely?

Thank you for explaining the difference. My friend was diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder and depression but I closely observed her for a long time and thought it mimicked bipolar with some variation. You answered that for me now. Unfortunately she takes antidepressants which are negatively affecting her but she prefers only to think of herself as one suffering with depression. Oh well.

@@slitheryrxghost3894I believe you’re just “schizoaffective” type of bipolar doesn’t really matter since you already have a diagnosis that recognizes the mood element. But I have a hard time believing a person with psychosis would classify for the bipolar 2 as one of the distinctions between bipolar 1 and 2 is that bipolar 2 does not have psychotic elements. Only thing that matters with the bipolar side is the length and severity of mood changes

Yeaa

Stay home always

@@kmrnnj1 why??

I take the Invega shot once a month. It helped me. I still have motivation issues but no hallucinations or delusions.

@@ssp1070 I just got the ability shot

I wanted a one way ticket to the moon after I got diagnosed, I felt like I couldn't live down what I was experiencing, seeing & saying during my months in hospital. With stable medication and 2 and half years later I finally feel human again. Wish you luck in your journey & recovery.

This is a great explanation

One of my friend told me she have schizoafftive disorders,how should I approach and comfort them,help

Treat nicely. Be caring. That helps us@@mangalyapanchal1351

Dude your profile pic is scary

Hi! I have schizoaffective disorder too. I haven't met anyone with this diagnosis. Are you on medidication?

Definately Obi, Whatever is necessary to maintain and support a healthy relationship with life. Everyone needs good focus and the means to take positive realistic steps about them. I'd need to trust in or recommend a specialist whose ethics are,,, Less suffering and more recovery... for anyone in need or trouble. Interesting to note how people experiencing some of these conditions might lose motivation with the things they enjoy and are good for them. How much of that could be regarded as a disease? Sounds like a disturbance or something that can transcend into depression and needs the right levels of concern sooner than later 🙏 nothing to let the senses of the mind numb over. Shame some onsets can be spontaneous. Some patients get mindwashed into believing something they can't effectively explain for themselves...

She seems very eloquent and confident to me. I don’t see her struggling at all, as a speaker.

She doesn’t sound like she’s having any difficulty speaking to me

Sounds very clear and focused to me. 😂❣ Brilliant explanation 👏
