I can’t tell if this channel is a resource to learn about mental illness in a funny and engaging way or a black pit perpetuating the psychotic and delusional thought patterns of a largely unwell audience, but hey I’ll be thinking about that for the rest of the day while I watch more Jreg going “haha that’s meee”
the thing is... everything he says is medically correct and goes into a level of detail that only someone GENUINELY interested in psychiatry would find interesting, but it's so chaotic to the point where someone who isn't very educated on psychiatry would think this is a joke just cuz he's so extremely ironic.
probably the first seeing as when jreg has his moments of lucidity, he seems to be pretty chill and not evil. but part of his fun is making sure people dont know of hes a little freak or just a funny little guy
"This is an undeniable fact because it fits my narrative." I needed to double-check that JrEg said this and not one of the major news outlets in America.
what? schizofrenia is not an mental illness. they're demons attacking people. God would want him to spreak up about the truth so they search God and get healed. i know this first hand, I prayed and prayed and God saved me from the horrible demons, delusions, fears and paranoia
I have a psychopathology professor who disclosed his history of psychosis to the class. Gnostic, clearly. He talks about the frequency of a four-quadarant worldview, especially in schizophrenics, in his lectures (he has his own). Incredible to see you put the gnostic schizo in a four quadrant-graph, just perfect.
I love your message. You've always targeted thought parasites and tried to sublime awareness of it in a funny, fresh, and true way. I'm happy you exist.
Damn Jrage, I thought I was merely an autism-adhd with a too strong interest about materialism allowing to get constantly cognitively rewarded by pattern detections about reality at each scale and how it fits into a great unified model theory of everything, but now I know I'm in fact an IN gnostic schizo. I'll fit this into my autism-adhd framework of the great-everything now.
I'm sorry I don't understand half the words and their definitely mostly ironic. Double diagnosis gang? I'm an aspie with adhd that masked it until middle school. Double gang? High five?
@@shadow_shine3578 Yeah autism-adhd double gang! It's 50% of autists tho apparently. Just tough to get diagnosed by the psychiatrist system and to realize you're not just "like everyone but actually not but idk why and how and somehow I still pass but in the same time not", many are stuck in this limbo. The words were really post-ironic, in the sense I ironically describe what I do. Having a specific interest over materialism and youtube content are like cheat codes to have a specific interest about everything that exists, as long at it's from the theoretical angle. And so having an interest about every possible complex system ever (not quite but you get the idea), it's probably a super effective way to reduce stress of new situations, the stress of experiencing the world unaware of the determinist systems that make it and how NTs shaped them, and how to overcome it (vitalism, existentialism, the power and freedom of the margins etc...).
The way Jreg makes videos I feel he's targeting me and only me. The week I got into r/collapse he made a video about it. This week my mental health was plunging and was anxious and paranoid I might be heading to schizo town like my mom as I get older now he makes a video about schizo. Smfh jreg, you made a video literally for me, I see through you!
Avoid places like r/collapse like the plague if you feel like their mindset is affecting you negatively. I'm serious, this is contagious and can kick you down the mental staircase.
@@johnathanmcdoe I agree. A few months ago I was watching a certain emergency preparedness youtube channel but their content became so toxic and alarmist that it was making me extremely anxious, so I stopped watching.
@@johnathanmcdoe This. And it's not like r/collapse is a quality source of objective news either; it's mostly just doomers who scoff at any semblance of positive news because (I assume) they can't handle uncertainties. I remember them freaking out about the Kurzgesagt climate change video because it suggested that giving up is probably not a good idea.

If you're interested in schizophrenia and its relationship to culture, specifically modernity, Louis Sass' Madness and Modernism is probably the best book on the topic you'll find. He's a contemporary expect on schizophrenia and thoroughly explains it while dispelling common misconceptions, then shows how each specific symptom is reflected in modernist art and literature.
It’s been shown to occur at higher rates in countries of high income inequality. There’s very little genetic risk, or even concrete biological markers. I’m really curious about the modernity take, with that in mind. It’s a disorder that seems to form in the environment, not within the individual.
@@pdpUU Sass makes the case that schizophrenia as it's currently known straight up didn't exist before modernity (16th-17th century IIRC), while most other mental illnesses and disorders can be found in texts from antiquity. There also doesn't seem to be anything like schizophrenia in contemporary tribes living outside of modern society. Marshall McLuhan, in Gutenberg Galaxy, makes a similar argument, connecting the effects of print and the phonetic alphabet causally to schizophrenia.
After you said "How do you identify a pseudo-schizo? Look at what you see after the screen goes black." i closed my eyes because i was too afraid to see
Me and my sister are struggling with schiz. I started working, but can't read books, she sleeps a lot but also talking with imaginary neighbors... can't be motivated, or cheered, rigid in her sensitive world...often a victim. Thanks for sharing this subject. It's a struggle for me not to let in her way of life affecting me... " laziness", or finding bright spot in life... I am visiting doctors, but she is off therapy... It's bad. And it's odd sharing this with someone...🙂
Good luck. One can't force motivation, but celebrating every little victory in daily life is truly significant over time. Habits are like motorways that sometimes automatically go to the moon and stars, which is fascinating, but it's also significant and perhaps fabulous just the act of wandering off the beaten path in the jungle, even for the short while that our brain allows it. Because a way travelled from time to time becomes a path, and travelling becomes easier the more we travel it, if it leads us to where we seek or the surroundings are lovely. Good luck to you and your sister
I identify with this label, but have never received a diagnosis from a psychologist. All of the psychologists I’ve ever seen have not been the diagnosing type. They don’t see it as particularly helpful for their therapeutic style.

Hey Jreg, congratulations on getting that schizophrenia diagnosis, now you can be recognized as a true certified schizo™ and your opinion on the subject can't be invalidated without it being ableism
@@shnglbot It's a joke, but really we don't know since he might have anti psychotic medication at home. Tbh I got some from a shit doctor in the past and I didn't have any serious mental illness after all it turned out. We really don't know if it's a bit or not, but I'm saying this as a joke

Honestly a 3 hour documentary on schizotypalism wouldn't do it justice. It's absolutely fascinating. One of the most common symptoms is they have an oddly poetic way of speaking. 99% sure MC Ride is schizotypal. From my understanding his lyrics explain the experience very well.
Damn he got to know the functions just now but he already understands them and is capable of using them more than most people... so much for Ti parent in an ENTP...

Clark, so named because he likes to fly towards me super man style tries to enter my head but never can because he would take over and I would have a psycotic break and so I should prevent that. Everything I've said is true. What does that say about me? I've already forgot the last sentence of the video, but I can't check because I have to defend myself against Clark. Thanks Jreg! Maybe I'll now be able to forgo sleep and manifest my other shadow person, named Samara yet but manifests herself by trying to crawl out of the screen of my phone
Bald heads are increasingly common with schizophrenic patients who come in with a fear of small insects. Sometimes its an untreated skin condition, sometimes its chronic lice or mites.

It is the saddest and most frustrating phenomenon of people developing mental illness by voluntarily indulging in it and taking into their identity to the point of doing it subconsciously. Its like, there are people with real mental illness and then there are the people with advanced stupid.

Well, I got diagnosed as bipolar one after a psychotic break that culminated in a 5-day stay at a psych ward and fairly heavy medication, so I know which one I am already; and it's not the reflection of myself. :Þ
As someone who had my first bipolar one manic episode a few months ago, I feel included. Don't worry, once the depression is over, I'm going off my meds for round 2!
Hey, ADHD and anxiety haver here. I’m a little confused about where I lie on the autismophrenia spectrum; I definitely have that horizontal thinking linking random shit to each other, but when hyperfocusing I have that autistic typical vertical thinking too. The anxiety also brings out a decent amount of paranoia and the occasional stress/panic attack followed by a shirt period of crying about how debilitating these two can be followed by another episode of getting close to mania because my brain refuses to linger on any one thing, not even feelings like depression or anxiety. Thanks for the help guys! Just trying to figure out where I would lie.
Diagnosed bipolar, but what they don't know is that as a teenager I had a near decade long delusion that I was an angel with 7 billion year old soul, trying to find the secret psionic organization on Earth so I could co-opt them into the fight against a trans-dimensional hive-mind conglomeration of soul eaters. I mean I don't believe it now, but I had to avoid that bad ending so I wasn't going to chance it.
(The following is a joke entirely, I am happy you figured out your delusions and have better connections with reality. Guess I wouldn't normally designate such ahead of time, but I wanted to give respect to the struggle you once had before making light of it like a total asshole :')
I feel like Jreg is truly losing interest in being a channel of politics with 1,000 layers of irony, and is now morphing into a channel of mental health with 1,000 layers of irony
Good job JrEgg you really showed those viewers that nothing you insinuate can be trusted and by saying everything you can say anything. People will never know your true intentions
The gnostic schizo is one of the most accurate descriptions of myself I've heard. I don't claim to be a schizo(phrenic/typal/id) person but that is a very true decription of the way I perceive the world.
Unironically he describes is pretty much akin to every "IN", so that makes a lot of people. I found myself 100% in too while I'm a mere classical Einstein type autist with no hints of anything schizo (even schizoid while I'd have thought). What's original is that when you think of schizos, you don't think of INs which is rather a base ground of autism and determined towards stability. (To be clear I don't take jungian stuff literally, it's funny pseudo-science that becomes interesting and post-real because many people believe in it, it makes from very effective templates, however it remains modular variables through existentialism).
10:18 this is just, very right, looking for patterns to make everything make sense in an increasingly confusing world. maybe i am including even jreg videos into that pattern to confirm my beliefs?
petition for 1 hour long unedited jreg videos where he rants about whatever the fuck he wants I'd watch them all thrice istg also very shocked autizmophrenia has been hypothesized before
I was Gnostic Schizo until my mom died and I realized that though my ideas were cool making that experience a part of my identity was not worth it and I should probably calm down
Not sure where on the sincerity - irony spectrum you are, but seeing myself reflected within you has been really helpful for me, and I’m grateful for the work you do and the way you do it. Thank you Jreg. And keep being human and as fallible as the rest of us.
I'm definitely some sort of schizotypal on the autism spectrum... and fuck... I know i think differently, and yes i see things, i see dark figures often. It's so hard to explain into words as i cannot find them. I seem to be the only one that i know that does it.. i make a shit ton of lateral connections but i also build out on those connections and attempt to make them...make sense, and it kinda works. Its very intersting. Im kinda extroverted intuitive..
I relate to you dude. I'm on the autism spectrum but due to a lot of shit in my life I get very depressed and for some reason I start seeing and hearing things when I'm super anxious or depressed. I see shadow people a lot as well and I started seeing entities in reflections in my mirrors and TV so at night I have to take those out of my room so I don't wake up in the middle in the night and start freaking out because of it. I will say I build my lateral connections over what I've studied in the occult which I know mental illness is a real thing but a part of me thinks spiritual brings exist as well. I can go on and on about how I could explain this but it would take a long time
old video but regarding bald schizos, testerone is linked with the progression of shizophrenia, which is why king schizos tend to develop symptoms earlier than queen schizos. And high testosterone leads to high DHT levels, which is a testosterone derived androgen that accelerates balding in those genetically susceptible to it
Well at least having the negative symptoms means it can't really be degenerative, because there's nowhere lower to go Nevermind, google has just informed me that there is such a thing as 'catatonic schizophrenia'
I really like the topic of internet legitimately acting as a new mode of mental illness transmission. Clearly depressive communities can reinforce a depression, but can they cause it? What about antisocial personality disorder? Edit: I think it really does happen. Remember that I may be wrong, and in fact I am always wrong about literally everything and everyone. 1. Depression. You obviously don't transfer the kind of depression that is caused by chemical imbalances and genetics. What you can transfer is some thinking patterns which may lead a person into a depression. Constantly being exposed to negative news and thoughts (which are well known to propagate better than positive ones) is bound to affect your world view. 2. Gender dysphoria. I feel like I may be kicking the hornet's nest here. But it's clear that in certain communities, having gender dysphoria and being trans has become cool, it's a bit like the new emo/goth except it's less commonly just a phase and is also considered to be a mental illness. Note, I'm not trying to discredit trans folks, they genuinely need support. My only claim is that it's contagious. I believe there'd be far fewer people with gender dysphoria if they weren't exposed to trans stuff. 3. ADHD. What Jeff mentioned in this video about being constantly connected to everything sounds like a thing that would cause ADHD-like behavior rather than schizophrenia, which is known to be hugely affected by genetics and prenatal conditions if I recall right. On the other hand, constantly being reminded of new replies, your comment getting 10(!) upvotes, your favorite youtuber uploading another video, etc, are among the things that definitely condition you to behave like a person with adhd. Diagnoses have been rising in the past 2-3 decades. 4. L*licns/pdf files. (TH-cam doesn't like those words).Really not sure about this one, but it seems like our fairly natural drive to explore & be turned on by slightly taboo stuff can lead some into rabbit holes through a cycle: taboo discovery -> conditioning -> normalization -> new, worse taboo.
I think wanting to be depressed by itself can cause depression. Many depressed people are depressed because they want to punish themselves or use it as a tool to get through life. In that depression can be like an addiction when you take the first step yourself and can't stop after that. That's atleast what I observed
Mass psychosis has been a well documented phenomenon for centuries. This isn't too different from that. Humans are very social creatures and very good at emphasizing to the point that certain things like mass psychosis can occur, so it's not a leap that you could extend this phenomenon to other kinds of behavior as well, such as depression.
This is interesting because many fringe social circles at my middle school (entrenched in internet culture) already glorified mental illness. There was some odd respect for people that used dysfunctional coping mechanisms (like self harm) because it seemed like their emotions ran so much deeper than the monotonous and authoritative adults that supervised us and that they simultaneously deserved respect for surviving through such a difficult ordeal. I think they totally made their likely very real depression worse for each other by encouraging that self-destructive behavior. Regardless, I have a hard time really blaming them for the dysfunction because it genuinely was hard to find emotionally available adults that would respect the intense emotions adolescence gives you, and I think they felt like leaning into this part of themselves would keep them from becoming as seemingly repressed as the adults around us. The internet gave people a way of transmitting this dysfunctional way of living in a social institution free of adults.
So what you're saying is my compulsory daydreaming is really just a controlled outlet for obsessive thoughts. If I REALLY want to do some cool shit I need to direct my magical thinking OUTWARD and make it other people's problem.
Hmm, I'm starting to think that mental illness as a concept is based on a fundamentally flawed paradigm that tries to reduce a person's entire subjective experience to a set of somewhat ambiguous outward behaviors that are then interpreted (subjectively) by an outward observer that makes no attempt to understand another person's unique subjective meaning and context, and instead ambiguously brackets the objective behavior from the subjective experience leaving a vastly simplified data point that can be more easily correlated, rashly, to a set of pre-defined categories that may or may not be coherent. And, out of an innate fear that literally every human being is instilled with by existing in a society that has punished and tortured schizophrenics for all of human history, a person who even slightly fits into one of these categories might become so overwhelmed with fear of themselves and others that they actually paradoxically develop the symptoms, like paranoia and manic and/or psychotic escapism from a mutually created social hell in which everyone is out to get you, because they kind of are, because you fell into the paradox that is schizophrenia and every attempt to escape it is a symptom already ready to re-enlist you (denying your illness a symptom of illness, not taking medication categorized as irrationality, etc). Thanks jreg, you really helped me make that uncontrolled lateral connection I needed to reinforce a grand worldview in which schizophrenia is an illusory paradox perpetuated by social stigma and the epistemological flaws of scientific materialism!
Mental illness is an old idealist paradigm tbh, idealist- in the sense that "scientific materialism" as you say is inconsistent materialism from modernist liberal-normative-essentilaist thinking, weak utilitarianism. Current one is neurodiversity, with its whole new sets of crazier problems, notably that it's easy to consider neuroD innate-stuff and harder for acquired stuff. However considering neuroD helps set back neurotypes as functionning with the same pattern as every other materilally determied phenomenons, that's to say in intrications of scales of continual values that modulate through space-time. Just like the queer paradigm accelerated to a certain point reveals cis-hetness was the actual constructed illusion, same will go for neurotypes revealing neurotypicals don't exist (which doesn't mean the value repartition on the scale is even and that there are no patterns that leads any unique brain to have a common base pattern or several, that our current classifications have found), same thing emerging about every paradigm of a psycho-social phenomonon relative to a socially consturcted norm, and even relatively to neural networks, evolution, towards physics law governing it all eventually. Gnostic schizo out^^
Its a concept made up to treat people to help adapt their behavior better to whatever context they live on. Its useless to get diagnosed if you do nothing about it. It can also be a concept to alienate and punish people who don't follow certain ideals. Who is mentally ill and who isn't is defined by the way they adapt (or not) to their culture.
@@PalitoSelvatico Yes, modernism encompasses the totality of the carrot and the stick: traditional authoritarianism to social-democracy > in worst to best order, diagnoses can be useful to genocide, then to enslave, then to segregate, then to discriminate, then to help in order to stay work-viable (which can return back to semi-enslavement or else prevents to reach stability and mental health), then to help in order to make social insertion and mental health better; that's where the paradigm stops for the minority of younger and "wokest" psychiatrists staying in their jobs, and it needs to be overcome to reach the last step: helping to get closer to real equality and reach maximum autodetermination and freedom in society. A lot of these same best psychitrists who also think this way have incorporated the neurotype paradigm, are socially and politically aware of domination structures, think in terms of material conditions, have some understanding of the history of the psychiatrist institutions, have knowledge about some famous takes from french Theory etc... the "mental-illness" paradigm alone can't reach that, it's mostly stick and more and more "social-democrat" carrot that's lost between trying to save our mental health and help us humanely, while conforming us to capitlaist, colonial, patriarcal, heterosexual structures to be good average functionning middle class members in society, liberal assimilation basically. It makes me think of soft-left university that isn't full-on humanities and is business and professionally oriented, I was in one of such and they seem constantly sorry and half-aware of their dissonance, they know they're sending you into the big alienated system and try to teach you what they can to survive there, or have "social-oriented" subsections of their domains that are usually linked to sections of capitalism.
@@PalitoSelvatico I wish your first definition is what psychiatrists actually lived by in the real world, because it's subtle enough to almost be helpful. I was hospitalized for a psychotic episode a few years ago, and got to see first hand how truly clueless practitioners are about this, and how emotional stereotypes take the foreground when dealing with this problem. The vague pipeline of ideas as I went from doctor to doctor: -[nurse to my partner] "I've seen this before. He's never coming back, you need to just move on." -[medical doctor] "well there's nothing wrong that I can see, biologically, so idfk, lol (*ties me down to bed so I can't move, doesn't feed me for days, occasionally gives me a sippy cup of water*) -[transfer to mental hospital, where my meal is upgraded to a single frozen veggie pattie.] Me: "what's going on, why am I here?" [psychiatrist who I've talked to briefly]: "I don't know. Schizophrenia, maybe??" (Sees this as enough to literally diagnose me with schizophrenia). -[everyone just kind of rolls with it. My first visit with prescribed psychiatrist]: "You need to just stop asking those questions, like what happened and why things are like this and just take the medication. Because of your schizophrenic diagnosis..." [Me, actually not knowing about that]: "I was told it was bipolar?" [Him, shuffling through papers] "uhhhh" -[a host of other ideas, everyone has their pet theory, and none of them actually align in any meaningful way] -[Me, just leaving that whole mess behind, choosing to learn deeply about myself and the world beyond that diagnosis and accepting it for what it is. Doing well for 4 years straight. Me: diagnosed "schizophrenic". Roll credits. 😆😆😆
JrEgg, please stop torturing me with your electromagnetic rays which puts me not inline with earths magnetic fields making me hyper-paranoid. But also you showed those neurotypicals whose boss 😎
First up, thanks for the honorary Schizopass. 7:30 I had that overarching expanding framework/world view explaining everything AND objects/people having multiple meanings/realities at the same time by this weird delusional "knowledge" through implication. It was truly a spiritual and enlightening journey.
I'm also an honorary Schizo, and I felt like I was telepathically connected to certain beings around the world, and also what everyone said had a 2nd meaning, I just couldn't figure out what. I also thought some supreme being was communicating to me using people on the TV, and my sister and stepdad could control which songs were playing on the radio station we were listening to while in the car. It was a trip. I really feel like my mind was operating on dream logic; especially when my perception of reality kept shifting drastically when I had new info, the same way dreams change so rapidly without missing a beat, even if it's nonsensical.
@@TheKarret Damn, it was quite similiar in my case, but without other people/family controlling the radio, but higher beings. Everything had like this extra level of meaning and higher beings were (trying) to communicate with me in a way I "just need to be able to understand". I couldnt really sleep and I wasnt sure at a point, if I was just lucid dreaming, because the feel for time was gone and reality was foggy in a way. Did you meet your supreme being, or how did it end?
@@Teemaino LOL YES! I was asking my sis and family "is this a test?" so many times. And yeah, I was way too wired to get sleep - mostly because I thought my stepdad was plotting to kill me and my family - I legit felt like a protag in a horror movie that was about to become some fodder for those murder shows on ID - I also independently thought my best friend was sneaking into my house/room at night to watch me sleep and rustle stuff around to see how I'd respond to it, and my family knew, but didn't want to say anything because if I didn't keep up the act properly and my friend found out that I knew, she'd kill me and my family [but, I also thought she was already plotting to get me used enough to death that I wouldn't fight back when she finally did make the attempt], so I was hyped up on some pretty severe... idk anxiety? or something. I never met any being; things just started shifting more in the later days, I thought I was some member of royalty that had been in exile and was just remembering this after I saw a book in my mom's car and asked her about it, and basically it was the same shit, so I thought it was a sign that it was about me, I thought only my city actually existed, I thought reality was a video game that was glitching really bad and I needed to die for it to reset back to normal, I thought my best friend was a ghost that was haunting me and would kill me if I saw her following me to the hospital [at the hospital is when I started having some hallucinations, like thinking I saw my friend's face coming out of my family member's head in the reflection of the glass of this one room, and when they were taking my blood pressure, I looked down at my arm, and the whole thing was like red and bruised and I freaked out about that]. But yeah, I never met any supreme being, I was just put on a high dose of an antipsychotic and possibly something else like an anti depressant or anti-anxiety med, and just had a 5day stay in a psych ward as I got back to sanity.

Jreg Guadalajara exists purely to manifest and perpetuate wackass ideas, as far as an unwell audience, I think I'm fine, but Wacky Frank isn't
the thing is... everything he says is medically correct and goes into a level of detail that only someone GENUINELY interested in psychiatry would find interesting, but it's so chaotic to the point where someone who isn't very educated on psychiatry would think this is a joke just cuz he's so extremely ironic.
probably the first seeing as when jreg has his moments of lucidity, he seems to be pretty chill and not evil. but part of his fun is making sure people dont know of hes a little freak or just a funny little guy

I have a psychopathology professor who disclosed his history of psychosis to the class. Gnostic, clearly. He talks about the frequency of a four-quadarant worldview, especially in schizophrenics, in his lectures (he has his own). Incredible to see you put the gnostic schizo in a four quadrant-graph, just perfect.
I love your message. You've always targeted thought parasites and tried to sublime awareness of it in a funny, fresh, and true way. I'm happy you exist.
Damn Jrage, I thought I was merely an autism-adhd with a too strong interest about materialism allowing to get constantly cognitively rewarded by pattern detections about reality at each scale and how it fits into a great unified model theory of everything, but now I know I'm in fact an IN gnostic schizo.
I'll fit this into my autism-adhd framework of the great-everything now.
I believe Pynchon said that it's a crazier notion to think that nothing is connected

@@shadow_shine3578 Yeah autism-adhd double gang! It's 50% of autists tho apparently. Just tough to get diagnosed by the psychiatrist system and to realize you're not just "like everyone but actually not but idk why and how and somehow I still pass but in the same time not", many are stuck in this limbo.
The words were really post-ironic, in the sense I ironically describe what I do. Having a specific interest over materialism and youtube content are like cheat codes to have a specific interest about everything that exists, as long at it's from the theoretical angle.
And so having an interest about every possible complex system ever (not quite but you get the idea), it's probably a super effective way to reduce stress of new situations, the stress of experiencing the world unaware of the determinist systems that make it and how NTs shaped them, and how to overcome it (vitalism, existentialism, the power and freedom of the margins etc...).

If you're interested in schizophrenia and its relationship to culture, specifically modernity, Louis Sass' Madness and Modernism is probably the best book on the topic you'll find. He's a contemporary expect on schizophrenia and thoroughly explains it while dispelling common misconceptions, then shows how each specific symptom is reflected in modernist art and literature.
any way i can read this for free without having to interact with the librarian cultists
It’s been shown to occur at higher rates in countries of high income inequality. There’s very little genetic risk, or even concrete biological markers.
I’m really curious about the modernity take, with that in mind. It’s a disorder that seems to form in the environment, not within the individual.
@@pdpUU Sass makes the case that schizophrenia as it's currently known straight up didn't exist before modernity (16th-17th century IIRC), while most other mental illnesses and disorders can be found in texts from antiquity. There also doesn't seem to be anything like schizophrenia in contemporary tribes living outside of modern society. Marshall McLuhan, in Gutenberg Galaxy, makes a similar argument, connecting the effects of print and the phonetic alphabet causally to schizophrenia.

And it's odd sharing this with someone...🙂
Good luck. One can't force motivation, but celebrating every little victory in daily life is truly significant over time. Habits are like motorways that sometimes automatically go to the moon and stars, which is fascinating, but it's also significant and perhaps fabulous just the act of wandering off the beaten path in the jungle, even for the short while that our brain allows it. Because a way travelled from time to time becomes a path, and travelling becomes easier the more we travel it, if it leads us to where we seek or the surroundings are lovely. Good luck to you and your sister

Hey,
ADHD and anxiety haver here. I’m a little confused about where I lie on the autismophrenia spectrum; I definitely have that horizontal thinking linking random shit to each other, but when hyperfocusing I have that autistic typical vertical thinking too. The anxiety also brings out a decent amount of paranoia and the occasional stress/panic attack followed by a shirt period of crying about how debilitating these two can be followed by another episode of getting close to mania because my brain refuses to linger on any one thing, not even feelings like depression or anxiety.
Thanks for the help guys! Just trying to figure out where I would lie.

Diagnosed bipolar, but what they don't know is that as a teenager I had a near decade long delusion that I was an angel with 7 billion year old soul, trying to find the secret psionic organization on Earth so I could co-opt them into the fight against a trans-dimensional hive-mind conglomeration of soul eaters.

The gnostic schizo is one of the most accurate descriptions of myself I've heard. I don't claim to be a schizo(phrenic/typal/id) person but that is a very true decription of the way I perceive the world.
Unironically he describes is pretty much akin to every "IN", so that makes a lot of people. I found myself 100% in too while I'm a mere classical Einstein type autist with no hints of anything schizo (even schizoid while I'd have thought). What's original is that when you think of schizos, you don't think of INs which is rather a base ground of autism and determined towards stability.
(To be clear I don't take jungian stuff literally, it's funny pseudo-science that becomes interesting and post-real because many people believe in it, it makes from very effective templates, however it remains modular variables through existentialism).

I greatly appreciated this elegant soliloquy about Zimbabwe politics.
I really like the topic of internet legitimately acting as a new mode of mental illness transmission. Clearly depressive communities can reinforce a depression, but can they cause it? What about antisocial personality disorder?
Edit: I think it really does happen. Remember that I may be wrong, and in fact I am always wrong about literally everything and everyone.
1. Depression. You obviously don't transfer the kind of depression that is caused by chemical imbalances and genetics. What you can transfer is some thinking patterns which may lead a person into a depression. Constantly being exposed to negative news and thoughts (which are well known to propagate better than positive ones) is bound to affect your world view.
2. Gender dysphoria. I feel like I may be kicking the hornet's nest here. But it's clear that in certain communities, having gender dysphoria and being trans has become cool, it's a bit like the new emo/goth except it's less commonly just a phase and is also considered to be a mental illness. Note, I'm not trying to discredit trans folks, they genuinely need support. My only claim is that it's contagious. I believe there'd be far fewer people with gender dysphoria if they weren't exposed to trans stuff.
3. ADHD. What Jeff mentioned in this video about being constantly connected to everything sounds like a thing that would cause ADHD-like behavior rather than schizophrenia, which is known to be hugely affected by genetics and prenatal conditions if I recall right. On the other hand, constantly being reminded of new replies, your comment getting 10(!) upvotes, your favorite youtuber uploading another video, etc, are among the things that definitely condition you to behave like a person with adhd. Diagnoses have been rising in the past 2-3 decades.
4. L*licns/pdf files. (TH-cam doesn't like those words).Really not sure about this one, but it seems like our fairly natural drive to explore & be turned on by slightly taboo stuff can lead some into rabbit holes through a cycle: taboo discovery -> conditioning -> normalization -> new, worse taboo.
if the internet can cause mental illness - the internet can also help cure it; source: HealthyGamer_GG. o vob
I think wanting to be depressed by itself can cause depression. Many depressed people are depressed because they want to punish themselves or use it as a tool to get through life. In that depression can be like an addiction when you take the first step yourself and can't stop after that. That's atleast what I observed
Mass psychosis has been a well documented phenomenon for centuries. This isn't too different from that.
Humans are very social creatures and very good at emphasizing to the point that certain things like mass psychosis can occur, so it's not a leap that you could extend this phenomenon to other kinds of behavior as well, such as depression.
This is interesting because many fringe social circles at my middle school (entrenched in internet culture) already glorified mental illness. There was some odd respect for people that used dysfunctional coping mechanisms (like self harm) because it seemed like their emotions ran so much deeper than the monotonous and authoritative adults that supervised us and that they simultaneously deserved respect for surviving through such a difficult ordeal. I think they totally made their likely very real depression worse for each other by encouraging that self-destructive behavior.
Regardless, I have a hard time really blaming them for the dysfunction because it genuinely was hard to find emotionally available adults that would respect the intense emotions adolescence gives you, and I think they felt like leaning into this part of themselves would keep them from becoming as seemingly repressed as the adults around us. The internet gave people a way of transmitting this dysfunctional way of living in a social institution free of adults.
@@ravi0lisa I don't think you can will yourself into depression. I think the stresses of life or a malfunction in the brain causes depression.
good to know that as someone who consistenly gets intj on every mbti and cognitive function test i am technically a schizophrenic
So what you're saying is my compulsory daydreaming is really just a controlled outlet for obsessive thoughts. If I REALLY want to do some cool shit I need to direct my magical thinking OUTWARD and make it other people's problem.
> this era is almost over I swear
Thank god, honestly.
That was surprisingly interesting to listen to, I wish jrej did documentaries so I'd actually absorb knowledge about the things I need to know
Thank you jreg, I am distilling nitric acid in my garage to feed to the squirrels [they have been implanted with bombs]
I absolutely love the description
Brian Wilson is a genius.

I can't wait to be unironically schizophrenic
Just a few more videos on 2x speed
I'm in your walls?
@artsi0m Psychosis is for sure a hell of a trip; gotta also agree; 0/10, do not recommend.
It’s possibly one of the worst things that can happen to you
@artsi0m nobody can stray me away from my destiny
I like that you've widened the berth of these brain states, it's helpful to think about thinking!
Hmm, I'm starting to think that mental illness as a concept is based on a fundamentally flawed paradigm that tries to reduce a person's entire subjective experience to a set of somewhat ambiguous outward behaviors that are then interpreted (subjectively) by an outward observer that makes no attempt to understand another person's unique subjective meaning and context, and instead ambiguously brackets the objective behavior from the subjective experience leaving a vastly simplified data point that can be more easily correlated, rashly, to a set of pre-defined categories that may or may not be coherent.
And, out of an innate fear that literally every human being is instilled with by existing in a society that has punished and tortured schizophrenics for all of human history, a person who even slightly fits into one of these categories might become so overwhelmed with fear of themselves and others that they actually paradoxically develop the symptoms, like paranoia and manic and/or psychotic escapism from a mutually created social hell in which everyone is out to get you, because they kind of are, because you fell into the paradox that is schizophrenia and every attempt to escape it is a symptom already ready to re-enlist you (denying your illness a symptom of illness, not taking medication categorized as irrationality, etc).
Thanks jreg, you really helped me make that uncontrolled lateral connection I needed to reinforce a grand worldview in which schizophrenia is an illusory paradox perpetuated by social stigma and the epistemological flaws of scientific materialism!
Mental illness is an old idealist paradigm tbh, idealist- in the sense that "scientific materialism" as you say is inconsistent materialism from modernist liberal-normative-essentilaist thinking, weak utilitarianism. Current one is neurodiversity, with its whole new sets of crazier problems, notably that it's easy to consider neuroD innate-stuff and harder for acquired stuff.
However considering neuroD helps set back neurotypes as functionning with the same pattern as every other materilally determied phenomenons, that's to say in intrications of scales of continual values that modulate through space-time. Just like the queer paradigm accelerated to a certain point reveals cis-hetness was the actual constructed illusion, same will go for neurotypes revealing neurotypicals don't exist (which doesn't mean the value repartition on the scale is even and that there are no patterns that leads any unique brain to have a common base pattern or several, that our current classifications have found), same thing emerging about every paradigm of a psycho-social phenomonon relative to a socially consturcted norm, and even relatively to neural networks, evolution, towards physics law governing it all eventually.
Gnostic schizo out^^
Its a concept made up to treat people to help adapt their behavior better to whatever context they live on. Its useless to get diagnosed if you do nothing about it. It can also be a concept to alienate and punish people who don't follow certain ideals. Who is mentally ill and who isn't is defined by the way they adapt (or not) to their culture.
@@PalitoSelvatico Yes, modernism encompasses the totality of the carrot and the stick: traditional authoritarianism to social-democracy > in worst to best order, diagnoses can be useful to genocide, then to enslave, then to segregate, then to discriminate, then to help in order to stay work-viable (which can return back to semi-enslavement or else prevents to reach stability and mental health), then to help in order to make social insertion and mental health better; that's where the paradigm stops for the minority of younger and "wokest" psychiatrists staying in their jobs, and it needs to be overcome to reach the last step: helping to get closer to real equality and reach maximum autodetermination and freedom in society.
A lot of these same best psychitrists who also think this way have incorporated the neurotype paradigm, are socially and politically aware of domination structures, think in terms of material conditions, have some understanding of the history of the psychiatrist institutions, have knowledge about some famous takes from french Theory etc... the "mental-illness" paradigm alone can't reach that, it's mostly stick and more and more "social-democrat" carrot that's lost between trying to save our mental health and help us humanely, while conforming us to capitlaist, colonial, patriarcal, heterosexual structures to be good average functionning middle class members in society, liberal assimilation basically.
It makes me think of soft-left university that isn't full-on humanities and is business and professionally oriented, I was in one of such and they seem constantly sorry and half-aware of their dissonance, they know they're sending you into the big alienated system and try to teach you what they can to survive there, or have "social-oriented" subsections of their domains that are usually linked to sections of capitalism.
@@PalitoSelvatico I wish your first definition is what psychiatrists actually lived by in the real world, because it's subtle enough to almost be helpful.
I was hospitalized for a psychotic episode a few years ago, and got to see first hand how truly clueless practitioners are about this, and how emotional stereotypes take the foreground when dealing with this problem.
The vague pipeline of ideas as I went from doctor to doctor:
-[nurse to my partner] "I've seen this before. He's never coming back, you need to just move on."
-[medical doctor] "well there's nothing wrong that I can see, biologically, so idfk, lol (*ties me down to bed so I can't move, doesn't feed me for days, occasionally gives me a sippy cup of water*)
-[transfer to mental hospital, where my meal is upgraded to a single frozen veggie pattie.] Me: "what's going on, why am I here?"
[psychiatrist who I've talked to briefly]: "I don't know. Schizophrenia, maybe??" (Sees this as enough to literally diagnose me with schizophrenia).
-[everyone just kind of rolls with it. My first visit with prescribed psychiatrist]: "You need to just stop asking those questions, like what happened and why things are like this and just take the medication. Because of your schizophrenic diagnosis..."
[Me, actually not knowing about that]: "I was told it was bipolar?"
[Him, shuffling through papers] "uhhhh"
-[a host of other ideas, everyone has their pet theory, and none of them actually align in any meaningful way]
-[Me, just leaving that whole mess behind, choosing to learn deeply about myself and the world beyond that diagnosis and accepting it for what it is. Doing well for 4 years straight. Me: diagnosed "schizophrenic". Roll credits. 😆😆😆
u write your i's the same as i do ive never seen another person who does that and it made me happy and a little concerned :)
JrEgg, please stop torturing me with your electromagnetic rays which puts me not inline with earths magnetic fields making me hyper-paranoid. But also you showed those neurotypicals whose boss 😎
Loving these informational videos JrEg
First up, thanks for the honorary Schizopass.
7:30 I had that overarching expanding framework/world view explaining everything AND objects/people having multiple meanings/realities at the same time by this weird delusional "knowledge" through implication. It was truly a spiritual and enlightening journey.
I'm also an honorary Schizo, and I felt like I was telepathically connected to certain beings around the world, and also what everyone said had a 2nd meaning, I just couldn't figure out what. I also thought some supreme being was communicating to me using people on the TV, and my sister and stepdad could control which songs were playing on the radio station we were listening to while in the car. It was a trip.
I really feel like my mind was operating on dream logic; especially when my perception of reality kept shifting drastically when I had new info, the same way dreams change so rapidly without missing a beat, even if it's nonsensical.
@@TheKarret Damn, it was quite similiar in my case, but without other people/family controlling the radio, but higher beings. Everything had like this extra level of meaning and higher beings were (trying) to communicate with me in a way I "just need to be able to understand".
I couldnt really sleep and I wasnt sure at a point, if I was just lucid dreaming, because the feel for time was gone and reality was foggy in a way.
Did you meet your supreme being, or how did it end?
@@Teemaino LOL YES! I was asking my sis and family "is this a test?" so many times.
And yeah, I was way too wired to get sleep - mostly because I thought my stepdad was plotting to kill me and my family - I legit felt like a protag in a horror movie that was about to become some fodder for those murder shows on ID - I also independently thought my best friend was sneaking into my house/room at night to watch me sleep and rustle stuff around to see how I'd respond to it, and my family knew, but didn't want to say anything because if I didn't keep up the act properly and my friend found out that I knew, she'd kill me and my family [but, I also thought she was already plotting to get me used enough to death that I wouldn't fight back when she finally did make the attempt], so I was hyped up on some pretty severe... idk anxiety? or something.
I never met any being; things just started shifting more in the later days, I thought I was some member of royalty that had been in exile and was just remembering this after I saw a book in my mom's car and asked her about it, and basically it was the same shit, so I thought it was a sign that it was about me, I thought only my city actually existed, I thought reality was a video game that was glitching really bad and I needed to die for it to reset back to normal, I thought my best friend was a ghost that was haunting me and would kill me if I saw her following me to the hospital [at the hospital is when I started having some hallucinations, like thinking I saw my friend's face coming out of my family member's head in the reflection of the glass of this one room, and when they were taking my blood pressure, I looked down at my arm, and the whole thing was like red and bruised and I freaked out about that].
But yeah, I never met any supreme being, I was just put on a high dose of an antipsychotic and possibly something else like an anti depressant or anti-anxiety med, and just had a 5day stay in a psych ward as I got back to sanity. Thankfully, I was just sane enough to still sign myself in and agree to be there, so... idk if that helped my case when I kept asking to leave on the little sheets they had us fill out for our next meals.
greg your hair looks really nice today
Thanks grEeegj now you are making me think I am a schizoid now, but now you should try to match the different schizos to each of the 16 mbti types because I want to know if a Istp NeoNazbol accelerationist is a neurodivergent schizo
Schizoid is just INTx tbh because low feeling and sensing
Another groundbreaking video! I can’t wait to augment it to my perception of reality.
4:10 NOOO THE FACT THAT I KNOW LOTS OF THESE / LOOKED IT UP AS WELL AND I LITEREALLY HELD A SIMILAR SPEECH TO MY FRIENDS ONCE NOOOOO NOOO MY GREATER TRUTH ILLUSION CREATED BY THE INTERNETZ NOT THE VITAMIN B AND D AND THE NICOTINIC ACID NOOOOO OUGH MY HEAD
