everyone experiences ptsd not just blacks

I was rasied by fanatical Christian parents who I didn't know both have some kind of mental illness. To this day they have never been diagnosed or gone to any kind of therapy, but it became apparent there was something really wrong in myself and also my siblings. Its really tricky, because a lot of the older relatives died when I was young and my parents frame everything thru their religion, which their actions do not match. I have stories they have told me about their family. I really think my dad has been on the autism spectrum his entire life, and my mom acts in ways described in narcissistic personality disorder...but there was one visit one time in my childhood by an uncle of hers who had schizophrenia. He came to town to go to the psychiatric hospital. He had a truck that looked like a covered wagon on the back, and he lived in it and lived in it in the parking lot of the hospital for a week. We visited him. Thats the only reason I know he exists, and nobody ever questioned if that schizophrenia somehow was also in my mother. I have always had difficulty verbally speaking, and when I was in late high school I started having this really severe body pain. It got to the level of being debilitating in college. When I did seek help, I was only diagnosed with anxiety and major depressive disorder....but I didnt have any awareness of family history of mental illness. So now I'm wondering if I am some kind of spectrum combination of autism and schizophrenia. I never hear of anyone having the body pain sensitivity problem I do unless its whats all thrown under anxiety and depression. No psychiatrist has thought I have schizophrenia when I ask them. The chronic body pain is like being energetically too sensitive to most environments, even good ones...and because its been chronic it creates psychosis. I have never been a drug user, but my brother has and thats a whole other combination with our genes. I studied other religions, he did not, he stuck with my parent's beliefs, has these genes, and does drugs they don't acknowledge he is doing. He had a son 3 years ago, that son was diagnosed as severely autistic...and now they're all starting to believe me but I'm 46 now and its still a mystery to exactly what I've been dealing with.

We dream the things we think why did it not register

I think that we figured out that we are being used in a game

your voice is calming!

Are you aware of Open Dialogue approach to resolving psychosis & schizophrenia...? Developed & helping people come out of psychosis since the 1980s...without using medications for the most part, as they realize that the mental symptoms are due to emotional distress. Maybe see The Power of Open Dialogue. A conversation with Jaakko Seikkula Ph D...interview by Beata Pawlikowska.. here on TH-cam.

My sister has schizophrenia. She has the weight gain, diabetes etc. She is in therapy. She is over 60 and was diagnosed in her late 20's/early 30's. Is there a better medication to help with the weight and diabetes or is it too late? Thank you for your brilliant lecture!

Absolutely amazing video! Very informative and detailed- i wonder if there is also a video PTSD vs Depression, AdHD, and other disorders with overlapping symptoms?

I hear voices that make up stories and framing family and it was not true.

I really didn't understand why therapeutic models are offered for children such as self developmental behavioral modification, (for children), and asylum seeking based therapy (for women). Now statistics do indicate that men struggle with psychological disorders, as well often as the other groups, therefore in treatment what is the aversion to seeing clientele regardless of age and gender, how is that fair? Given that there are plenty of clients who are in need of an opportunity to learn to change. Steven Holland

Seeking safety is right.

thank you for explaining all this brilliantly!

Thank you for this brilliant summary and clear explanation of few areas. Its fascinating territory - intersection of gestalt and art therapy , which Im starting to study.

Refering to 21:20: I think in brief psychotic dis. only one symptom is necessary for diagnosis and not two.

Too fast

Hello Jen. I was going through your schizophrenia spectrum disorder video a few days ago and noticed it has now been removed. I am a psych student and found tremendous value in it. Will you be re-uploading it as I was not able to finish watching it. Thank you for the great content.

Thanks again! I'll be following along these videos with each chapter covered in my DSM class. 🙂

taking dsm class in my grad school. Thank you so much! This is way better following along than my adhd allows reading the dsm 5-tr

thank you for uploading these, they are very well-made! i have a psychopathology exam day after and your videos are helping me so much!!

Keep going on 😊
