Two of my brothers have schizophrenia ❤ They are two of the most generous, kindest, most thoughtful, and family oriented people I have ever known in my entire life and I've known a lot of people. It's been devastating to love someone and to see their lives become so unmanageable. To see them each be so ill and not understand why or how. God bless those who have been affected by this disorder ❤

How do you use leap when someone is depressed ? What would you like ? “Nothing I don’t care I wish I was dead”. Can you tell me why you don’t want to see a therapist? “It wouldn’t help they hate me anyway” or . “I’m tired of these questions I don’t want to talk you need to leave” Etc This is a serious question and I would really like ideas . It almost seeks easier to talk to someone psychotic, they care about things even if it’s not the usual things

We know a lot more about this condition now than we did 10 years ago even though we don’t know much. It’s perplexing and my guess is it’s a reaction to boredom and worry, isolation in bipolar disorder, marijuana and social abuse. Something that specialists can’t pinpoint is the down regulation of something in the mesolimbic areas or wherever that goes wrong. Ketogenic diets are proving very effective for bipolar and schizophrenia. Brain Energy theory of mental illness states all MI is mitocondrial dysfunction in brain from ADHD-Alzheimer’s-Anxiety-Schizophrenia. It’s amazing how one person can get it from repeated drug use and trauma or just get it at a young age randomly. Fascinating and devastating. Better treatments are urgently needed targeting increasing healthy total mitocondria and they are never created.

I need some help with my son! He’s 26 years old and he was dx and was on injection. After 1.5 years he took himself off. He went to his doctor at northwestern hospital in Chicago and told the doctors wanted to get off injection and the doctor took him off and put him on Zoloft. Why did he do that ???!!! Now 7-8 months later 4/12/24 he is now displaying all the sxs he was having before the medication. Getting angry , isolation, not caring about his appearance, his hygiene. He’s hearing voices in his head. He told his dad about the voices in his head. My Son❤️❣️💙💚📚🎚 is not having a good life right now why the doctor took him off the medication I am not sure I know My Son❤️❣️💙💚📚🎚 doesn’t like the way he on the medication, but the doctor gave him something else to try as a replacement. He’s refusing to take medication now he’s manipulating the doctors and making him think that nothing is wrong with him. Not sure how he switch it off and switch it on as far as his personality but he does it. We can take him to the emergency room. He can get admitted show symptoms of hallucinations in the emergency room. Then when they admit him into the mental institution, they say that he’s not showing any symptoms I don’t get that and then they just release him so now he’s just out in the world with these symptoms. As of today March 28, 2024 he is in his room isolating himself. Don’t think nothing is wrong with him for some reason I’m at a loss I don’t know what to do he’s not himself he has relapsed. Please help me. We are in Chicago Illinois.

35:14 Mate, my blue fairy who rides a green unicorn in my left hemisphere says that this was a waste of time. Listen. Seriously now. I have an idea as to how to actually be of some use. Do a study on socio- culturally induced iatrogenic psychosis. Start with the hypothesis that religion does that- as far as I know the religious theme is prevalent in psychotic episodes. ‘Oh, you go to Church. Sorry, I apologise for pointing out the fucking obvious here. No, that’s ok, doctor. Umm…how does that voice from the bush sound, though? Is is a booming voice or whispering like in the ear of the prophets? Tell me more about those four horses and the beast. Right, right…Do they tell you that the unbelievers must die? Okaaayyy…No, sure, sure…Go on’ 💉💉💉💉💉💉💉

I lost my schizophrenic son to addiction. Sadly. It took his passing for me to try to truly understand this disease. He hid a lot of things. It breaks my heart to know that not only was he hiding his addiction but his illness as well. He was finally turning a corner. In his last year of life, he finally admitted he was sick and started medication. He was a different person. He let our family in. We shared good times. It was beautiful. What we didn’t know was that he was addicted to heroin. He overdosed 2 months ago. It’s been heartbreaking. We’re shattered.

Not so recent studies showed that people who use their smart phones a lot, or spend time on social media, especially if they're in their youths, account for a higher percentage of unhappiness among those people. But, what's interesting is that, the statistic shown is for those who don't have a history of mental illness, either genetically, or otherwise. Those with psychotic tendencies suffer more from mental issues, or illness the more they spend time with their phones, or on social media. That's because their minds could not process even the most normal analysis in a day-to-day life, and while internet might be useful as a temporary relief to their boredom, or sadness, as it gives them the illusion that they're actually normal, for that same reason, internet triggers delusions and other psychological symptoms that farther drift them away from reality. And it becomes a habit, or a loop, to the point that many of them lack sleep, or couldn't sleep properly, and sadly, some of them aren't even aware they have it. It's refreshing watching documentaries about people who are smart, and educated enough to share their stories. That means, those who admit to it like the people in these videos, are not that crazy after all, in comparison to those who hide in their virtual fake personas filled with lies, and all things pretentious, to cover up their unresolved mess.

I am a recovered “schizophrenic” who spent a month in a psychiatric hospital and underwent six ECT sessions. I healed over three decades ago not by taking those brain damaging pharmaceuticals, but by treating it as a spiritual battle. The Gnostics and Carl Jung recognized that it is the hero’s journey and a fight for one’s soul. Search for videos with Jerry Marzinsky…he’s a retired psychiatrist with many stories to tell of interacting with "schizophrenic" patients.

I disagree with this perspective I personally believe my childhood living with physical violence constant verbal abuse and not knowing what was going to happen next it caused me to mentally break later in life. So people that say it's a chemical imbalance have no clue . I'm sure some have a disorder because of an imbalance but to say that's always the cause seems grossly inappropriate

Hey, look up her name now. You will see that she didn't ever actually have schizophrenia. It was Munchauzen by proxy, meaning her mother was parading her around for attention and giving her too many pills, all of which her body never needed. Her illness didnt take her childhood. Her mother did.

While I’ve not been Dx with schizophrenia, I do have several other mental health Dx’s, it’s overwhelming and depressing. This video made me hopeful and sad. It’s sad to know that “recovery” isn’t like recovering from Strep, take my meds, be better and move on. I’ve recently just learned in intensive out patient therapy, this is a life long issue. I’m hopeful that there are other people who are understanding and supportive out there. It’s just a matter of trusting people in order to find the support. I have a wonderful husband who is extremely supportive, a therapist and a psychiatrist. But, I keep my Dx’s a closely guarded secret (as much as I can any way). Society does make this feel very shameful. Some days I feel like I’ve completely over come my issues, other days…weeks even…I’m lucky to brush my teeth, get out of bed, or take care of other hygiene issues. there are many many times where I just don’t trust my own brain. That scares me. Tahnk you for this video.

I understand where you're coming from doctor, but I cannot fathom so many ways in which is Realistic. my son is having delusions and has been for years, I just learned about it and only because he ended up in jail (drunk driving) and then addiction problem became known to me. I got him into rehab programs and then the reality of the schizophrenia symptoms became more and more obvious, but only to me because I was the only one spending a lot of time with him and seeing it. He is constantly talking to What he calls ghost and spirit and they are sometimes tormenting him, as they are "entering" him. So I've been apparently going about it the wrong way trying to get him to get home for the delusions he's having ...Get on meds to stop them and get his life back. He's not able to work he's not able to accomplish things he's having problems with everyone in his life. He is not able to do things and then when the men at the sober living home get mad at him for not doing his things, He gets defensive or spirals or does really weird shit like cut open his box springs. I did finally get him to go to a therapist and it is not a process to get to see a proper psychiatrist who can even diagnose or give meds, the one he's going to have to see him five times before she can diagnose and refer him to the psychiatrist… On Friday he Told me some details about the spirits and what they were doing and I listened and we concluded that I acknowledge there's a small possibility that he's actually seeing Spirit and able to communicate with them and they are entering him and people. And he admitted that there's a small possibility that I am correct and he has a schizo affective disorder or schizophrenia... delusions Then the next day he asked me, on the hottest day of the year so far, to come get him and take him to old building so he can look for other spirits who he might be able to ask for help pulling out the spirits that are in him So, with this example, how do you follow the LEAP method and respond to that? Do you go and get them and drive around all buildings looking for ghosts and waiting to see what they do? What if what they do starts becoming dangerous and scary? I live with pain, after a stroke and I said no because I can't be out in this heat and I've been spending literally all of my money on him and his needs so I also can't waste the gas. and that made him completely flip out and spiral and starts bringing up all kinds of things about how I'm psychotic and a horrible person and I am so devastated right now because Friday he was talking about possibly going into the hospital so he can be admitted to the psych ward… And now he is upset with me for not helping and blaming me for everthing Because I wouldn't help him when I acknowledge that there was a small possibility and he needed this help. How do you deal with more difficult examples than the ones you give ... because that's real life For a lot of people ... Sara loves dylan's having hallucinations don't just talk about the CIA or the aliens in the attic, they sometimes do things about them Sometimes my son can put on a suit and watch himself and talk to people as if he's perfectly normal and fine...Sometimes he can have rational conversations and I think that sometimes it's important for him to realize that there's a possibility that his brilliant brain is doing something wrong that is making him perceive things that are not real and ruining his life
