I love how you dissect each diagnosis in details about what we deal with inside our heads or what to look for in others and you explaine things that we feel think believe, all the parts that most therapists or mental health professionals dont get. Thats what makes the validatin from you so much more valuable.
I was thinking I had negative symptoms of schizophrenia when I was enduring sociopathic abuse on a daily basis...it is very dangerous. Thank you for explaining this topic so well as always! :)
Thank you Nicoletta! And you're welcome. It is possible that you did but a lot of people who do experience this never go on to experience psychosis, thankfully.
@@TherapistTamaraHill I think it was more like a wave of empathy and depression for me. But, probably due to my low emotional intelligence I was very confused, I was starting to think like a sociopath and I was scared to death, so I became super depressed. I thought I was one when I was being abused by one, luckily therapy helped me and EMDR is really miraculous even for complex trauma. I still don't know if I have, but I heard of other people with Asperger's who felt they were psychotic after traumas, because our inner world is so rich that it's easy to go into spirals, we are also alone a lot.
I see what you mean. That makes sense. And this is where something known as "differential diagnosis" comes in. A good therapist is one who will rule things out as you bring up symptoms, behaviors, etc.
This was a great video. I never understood some of these concepts. They seem "out of reach" when reading online. But watching this made it easier. My grandfather had schizophrenia and it was a devastating blow to ALL of us.🥺
Thank you @truth4utoda! Appreciate that. And I'm glad you found value in this video. You are right that psychosis can have a devastating impact on a family. There is a lot to deal with and trying to keep that loved one healthy is another difficult challenge.
Relief...been searching for help for over 20 years. Glad I've come across this video. Makes a whole lot of sense now. Thanks for the explanation and breakdown of this topic
I recently subscribed to your channel, and I really enjoy the information you’re putting out. The way you speak to the audience is very approachable, and I’m getting a better understanding of some psychological terminology than I would just researching it by myself. Thank you for all your hard work!
Támara Hill, MS NCC CCTP LPC I’ve been sifting through the videos looking for topics I find applicable to me. I’m wondering if you discuss parentification of a child, or emotional incest in any of the videos about parenting?
@@aubreybenmark1369 I'm sorry I missed this comment!! I do. I'll post the links here for you. Emotional incest th-cam.com/video/KCrmoPJhhUs/w-d-xo.html
Aubrey, stick around and you will not be disappointed. Tamara is amazing at her work and I don't just say that, my life has changed drastically for the good because everything I have been unable to understand in me and others, there's a video somewhere in her playlist that has answered, in the word of Tamara Hill, stick around with us and become a part of our growing and validating community don't forget to hit that notification bell and get notified when ever she posts something new on her channel, You will benifit from every video. Lol But seriously, she is awesome
Hi I would be very thankful if you replied for my message.. Mam, I had gone through most of the psychosis scenario you have explained. And the main one, as I created a world of my thinkings and started to run my world according to it,And the main thing in doing that was I couldnt trust anybody around me, even my own family seemed like lieing to me and I couldn’t trust anything they say.And then I got treated( not regarding this exact psychosis) but for sleeplessness and acting threatening.And after the treatment I realised the world is not according to what I think and If it was though like that, I shouldnt be taken into the hospital by the world Or people I Imagined about. So without explaining my thoughts to the doctor in there I escaped the hospital by getting the treatment only for my sleeplessness. And later own I figured out all these were my psychosis and delusions. And as such for now. Still at some times or moments I get back that feeeling while going through any social media posts or seeing someone talking ( even though its not about me) I get the feeling. And then again I realise its not truth as now I completely know its my metal problem. So mam, as far I had figured out evrything about this and still it keeps happening again suddenly when I see something it takes me back to the glimpse of the old world I talked about. And throw me again to present. Mam could you please tell me what shall I do to stop this going back sudden in thoughts and feel like im persecuted by somebody even when I get to know Im not bring persecuted just in sometime. How can I stop this??? I hope you understand..Please replyy..
Great video. I had a psychotic episode a few years ago, with paranoid and erotomanic delusions. I think social media and stress due to bullying/discrimination triggered it. I was put on antipsychotic meds and hospitalized for a few days. Thankfully my family was there to help me, but I had pervasive anxiety and paranoia for months. The side effects from medication made it worse, I would sleep during the day and walk around in circles around the kitchen table at night, I couldn’t stay still. It was awful and probably the most crazy-making experience I’ve ever had. It really felt like I was living in a different reality than everyone else. As negative and crazy as it was, I’m glad I recovered well but I wouldn’t erase that experience.
The journey of going back to the Land for me personally has unexpectedly been one crazy experience, to how people try to deal with abstract/metaphorical things that have happened in Indigenous history and imperative Colonialism hold on any individual who just ride along the so called "norm"
***awesome video -- keep it up --- one of the toughest situations: one who projects accusing others of projecting, or one who is delusional accusing others of being delusional --- can we have a video about that? for example, When you have 2 people accusing each other of projecting.... how do we unravel that mess? One is truly projecting and the other is not, but both can make that verbal accusation. How do we unravel that?***
Thank you!! Absolutely! I'm planning on a video like that for November/December. :) These are called defense mechanisms and there are many of the them that I can go over. Good suggestion! Thank you. That's tough to unravel but I will discuss it it!
Thank you🙂 I encourage you to do what I didn't do until after I graduated which is take as many classes and trainings on counseling divorce cases, family trauma, and intergenerational trauma. So important to know. All the best on this journey of psychotherapy!
I have a question that I feel you can go in to depth better than other videos. Narcissist or meth addiction? One in the same or can the addict, with recovery have normal relationships
Hi Leslie, I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. If I am understanding correctly you are asking if a person could be a narcissist or a meth addict. They can be both or one of these things. Typically, a narcissist may be more prone to get into drugs because they crave excitement and have deep seeded insecurities. But a narcissist is not an individual with psychosis. This question is separate from the topic of this video of course.
I absolutly have disorganised thoughts and i have difficulty speaking to people i stumble over words. I actually forget what im talking about mid sentence. I also forget important things such as taking my meds, i even forget to eat. I am so curiouse about this Tamara, i hate to admitt these but i dont just experience these now and then, it everyday. I hope theres other reasons that this could possibly be,🤯😟
I paused this video to comment then watched it to the end and its again so relative to me ive always descrived my mind as chaotic or 100mlp. I cant sit still or focuse on watching tv or anything else for very long im always busy busy busy. Day and i have great trouble sleeping, im not on anti psychotic drugs, i take velafacine 225mg a day and 20mg amitriptyline at night
Hi Beth, It sounds to me as if you have a series of symptoms that are similar but not necessarily indicative of psychosis. When someone is experiencing psychosis they are typically experiencing symptoms all at once. The symptoms really show themselves to be a "syndrome" which is a group of symptoms that occur together. In other words, it's a set of consistent symptoms. It sounds like what you are experiencing are the symptoms but at different times and that do not come as part of a psychotic episode. You may have a mood disorder (bipolar or depression) or experience anxiety/stress that causes these symptoms at times or most of the time. Also, ADHD can cause these symptoms in people who are not experiencing a psychosis. There are so many disorders that these symptoms can fall under. I'm glad you mentioned this so that I could explain and hopefully dispel some myths.
Sure. Feel free to email me contact@anchoredinknowledge.com. I'm not sure what you mean by this question exactly so if you could explain a bit more I can answer.
When i was in psychosis i was convinced post malone was looking for me and that my dad was trying to kill him. I slipped into his dms. I reached out to him. I was heavily convinced. Along with thinking the aryan nation was after me, i thought i was talking to all my friends amd family through thoughts. It was very scary. I have had psychotic episides since then but brief ones. My hospitalization was triggered from old memories coming back and my brain broke. Im scared ill be like this forever.
I'm so sorry Stephanie. This is frightening to say the least. But what is good to hear from you is that you are aware of the reality that this delusion or pattern of delusions are not healthy. That awareness is the first step toward healing. I do hope you are seeing someone for psychotherapy and oversight of your symptoms.
@@TherapistTamaraHill my insurance lapsed so i have been without therapy. I am doing so-so. I know i need to get my ass on it!! I have renewed my insurance. I have to get reassessed and it feels like a big undertaking.
I'm sorry Stephanie! I hope that things go smoothly for you. You may thank yourself for it later. And....don't forget you can do online psychotherapy through places like Teladoc, Talkspace, Better Help or Cerebral. They take insurance too!

@@TherapistTamaraHill true. And I apologize for getting off topic. Im wondering if this person is only a meth addict or also a narcissist
@@lesliehill3025 no worries!
I would say both are likely for sure. They go hand and hand in some situations.
