My son suffered from schizophrenia and I had no idea. The part about the unchanging beliefs hit me hard. He truly believed he did not have a problem. I took him to 12 doctors (therapists and psychiatrists) in a 3 year span all of whom let me know that if he wasn't willing to accept the help, there was nothing they could do for him. This disease is the worst mental illness in existence. He refused standard medicine in favor of illicit drugs and died of a fentanyl overdose last summer. My heart is broken, but I want to help educate people on this disease as I literally had no idea what was happening to my son till it was too late. Thank you for putting this video up. You are helping more people than you know. Wish I could have seen something like this 16 years ago, may have saved my son.
It's so true that it ties in with the past. I cope really well with my schizophrenia symptoms, when they arise I do what I can to distract myself healthily with resources such as friends or person resource. Great video! Thanks for spreading awareness.
I was diagnosed a couple years ago and while maybe it’s not practical in a clinical setting, I would’ve loved for someone to walk me through research/models in a careful way like this. Makes me feel less powerless when I understand it better so I really loved this. Great video 😄
@@kyrazimmerman22 My son was recently diagnosed and this is all new to me. But his phycosis was severe he had all the negative and positive symptoms and we're still unsure if his ptsd caused it. The doctor told us some people only get it once but like I said this is all new to me and we've been devastated by the diagnosis.
@@Isa-tw1ly the last time I had psychosis was because of PTSD. I too had all the symptoms! PTSD Psychosis in my opinion is worse than the others I've experienced because.... The reason your brain goes in psychosis is because your mind literally cannot handle what happened. I went in to psychosis because my ex husband tried killing me a long with some other huge stressers that was also traumatizing. I'm glad you got him help, go you! Try not to remind him of his habits or how he acted in his impaired mental state. it's embarrassing and it triggers the PTSD, at least it did for me. My family kept telling me how I acted, what I did etc. When someone is in psychosis or just got out recently it's a lot on the brain. Think of it as the most intense exercise you can and multiply by 3. That's what the brain is like during recovery. I smoke weed like mad and it helps. It helps those with PTSD by removing the huge intense memory and replaces em with not as bad memories. It's a life saver. I wish you and your family well and healthy lives!
my boyfriend has autism and was abusing meth for a while which led to a lack of sleep, decline in self care, etc… he went through psychosis for about 8 months. as soon as he stopped doing drugs, the next day his delusions and hallucinations just stopped. he went to a mental hospital during that period, and he still came out thinking that way. he also had a troubled childhood and spent all his teenage years abusing opiates which later turned into worse drugs. these videos are very helpful and help me understand his situation better. im doing anything to prevent/avoid something like that happening again, and i appreciate what you’re doing!
Thank you so much. I've been having strange experiences these past two weeks and I would like to bring this up with my therapist. I was worried I was going insane. It's comforting to know it may be related to my PTSD.
I am glad you found this video comfortable, and I hope you feel the courage to discuss this with your therapist at some point to explore these experiences more. Wishing you all the best x
Not to worry! If you were actually going insane, you would not question the absolute reality of your perceptions, no matter how irrational or delusional your experience becomes.
Be easy on yourself my friend, it's a difficult road. Keep doing whatever calms you, however small. It will slowly get easier if you find your calm. And well done for reaching out. Much love
This video, especially those two vignets, have really helped me understand my own psychosis and the strong links to my childhood and complex trauma. Thankyou 🙏 for example.. as a child I always thought my parents could read my mind, and in my early-adulthood psychosis i would drive around seeing hallucinations of helicopters, planes, and UFO's following me.. but in reality my parents were just overbearing and intrusive people, making me feel like i couldnt get away from their opinions and judgements.
Very very helpful!!! Thank you! Please continue to share videos such as this… The link between trauma and psychosis is something very important for people to be aware of! Thank you!
Diagnosing psychotic illnesses in autism is really complicated, there's so much overlap in symptoms I often have a hard time to tell if its just my autism or if I'm getting psychotic again.
Just after the psychosis episode I asked GM to integrate the history of what I was thinking has caused all this but unfortunately, as you said in your video, they werent able to focus with me on the trauma matter. Thank you for sharing those models, they totally fit the way I felt and what is really experienced
Very clear and comprehensive illustration of psychosis. It helps me to clarify and understands what is psychosis. Really appreciate your video. Thank you.
Everything is energy, and therefore psychic attacks are very real. Who’s to say what matters and what doesn’t? The linearisation of the human causes more problems than it solves. We are not 3D beings, we are just having a physical experience right now. Life is but a dream and no one is truly in the position to tell someone that their experience is false. All is Mind.
I spent many years in weekly therapy sessions to recover from Psychosis and overcome my intrusions but sadly, i never processed the trauma that led to my psychosis or the trauma that came from the psychosis. I now feel like i am relapsing because i never processed or dealt with the cause. Luckily i can avoid the drug-induced nature of my psychosis because i no longer do drugs. But even being sober i have to choose to relapse into psychotoc-type behaviour or instead do the trauma work and heal from my childhood complex PTSD. Thankfully, i have found a great psychotherapist to help me heal from my trauma. Thank god 🙏 please pray for me if you wish. My hope is thin
I found you via your post on Reddit. I'm currently writing my first novel, and my main character lives with schizoaffective disorder. Childhood trauma is going to be an important part of her story, so I'm always looking for information about exactly this! Thank you, thank you! :)
I guess both general and specific information are helpful. Have you ever thought to use figures, like infographics in your presentation? They facilitate comprehension. Usually, the work is already done by someone, so no need for creating one from scratch.
I just recently experienced an episode. I was driving when two specific things triggered me. All of a sudden I had no idea why I was driving and where I was driving, was stuck in another reality. Voices told me I was communicating with the spiritual world and they were telling me about my future and past. Voices told me to pull over an enter a forest. As I got into the forest, I had no idea what I was doing there or where I was going. I was so confused. I managed to tell myself that if I go into the forest no one will ever find me. I then saw a tree but voices were telling me it’s a demon trying to kill me. I had a panic attack. Managed to put the gps on and drive home. Apparently I was 100 km away but had no idea how I got there. I’m trying to get therapy but they’re labelling me as a high risk client. I just recently lost my mom, have a lot of trauma and have past depression issues. Sick and tired of coping skills. I had a dream after this where they told me I need to get a puppy and it will help me stay grounded in reality.
ChatGPT thinks dogs can help prevent psychosis episodes. If you can't get therapy, it wouldn't be a bad thing to get one. Be sure you'll be able to take care of it though.
The warning voices and information voices I've experience have all been 100% to my benefit, I am so greatful for my inner voice. I have no fear of hearing these voices, if i heard anything that prompted me to do harm to myself or others I would knowcthat this is a malevolent entity. I am on my spiritual path, the journey is a joy.
my current psychiatrist does not think i have borderline personality disorder and she is tapering me off mirtazipene and starting risperidone in two weeks if my symtpoms of psychoses go away and i respond to that medication and my thoughts and paranoid thinking and eratic thinking go away, the neighbours in my street are talking about me, and i believe certain songs that comeon the radio are designed for me to listen too, when i get angry i scream and shout and go to my room to baracade myself in my room because its my way of defense system, im not very well at the moment i was doing fine for some days and i live with my parents in mid 60's and my dad is critical of me and puts me down, im staying safe in my room, god please help me i need to start new medication risperidone soon, im sorry everyone im personal on here i just dont know who to talk to , but i talk to god and my cat
I'm sorry about that, I have had psychosis 6 months ago and I can say that risperidone helped and is still helping since I'm still taking it. It will help relaxing your mind. I can suggest you to do physical training, eating well, spending time in nature, getting closer to god. I know it's hard but try to accept everything as a lesson, get in touch with your feelings. Wish you all the best, eventually the pain will go away. Cheers
Marijuana, poor enviorments, abuses like “social defeat” situations, circadium disruptions all play a role in mitocondrial dysfunction in the brain. “Social defeat” can greater anhedonia or bipolar negative symptoms and schizophrenia spectrum issues could be a reaction or a desparation response to the negative bipolar symptoms like anhedonia and amotivation
I really liked this video. I rarely comment but I'm glad to find literature on this topic as well as your outline of how trauma and psychosis can be related. I'm interested in creating a therapy group related to these topics and your comment about trauma informed care vs processing symptoms in the here and now really changed how I may look at doing this group in the future!! I'm a masters level counseling student looking forward to what might come out of this topic for me in the future thank you!!!! :)
Such an interesting project! No problem glad you enjoyed it :) I’m definitely considering applying for the dclinpsy after this it’s just on my mind aha
Isn't psychosis a disorder in its own right? I had a few bouts of psychosis in 2012 I had a small bout years later but I'm sure the psychosis was caused by prescription drugs! And since I had the drug reduced I never had full blown psychosis yet!
I think Ive been experiencing something bad when I was younger cause I experienced psychosis in 2020 and my family have alot of mental issues and they are doing the same to my daughter. I wish I never had kids if I knew what I know now.😭
As a close relative to a person with schizofrenia I wold like to say this about trauma and schizophrenia. There might be some patients that have had trauma but many bipolar or schizophrenic people may turn their emotions against the person they care most about. Due to anosognosia it is common that psychotic delustions includes trauma as a real event when it is not. As so many patience with psychosis suffers from anosognosia a denial of the cause of the hospitalization may be blamed on delusional traumas. This will make the data hard to analyze as this type of data is collected between the patient and the hospital.
I’ve been wondering. Because I’m going through this with my mom and trying to help her and understand her. I have been having Strong Suspicions that my hurtful selfish father causing this in mom. 😢😢😢
"Spiritual mafia" is certainly less triggering than other frequent terms. Have you ever considered looking in-depth into why this particular conspiracy scenario is such a strong and common feature of these disorders?
Trauma is often one of the main causes of psychosis as well. All it takes is a gun to a person's head and bam 6 months later - full blown schizophrenia; due to genetics.
So my PhD is currently looking at whether psychosis may be a psychotic form of PTSD, of course not everyone with psychosis experiences hallucinations or delusions that are trauma related, these people would not be considered to have a reaction to trauma at all, hope this helps! A lot more I can talk about this but don't want to go into too much detail on this comment x
Thank you for the video. Ya, I am wondering somehow how do we know if someone has hullcination sx yet grew up in a loving family could have a traumatic life ? If not drug to navigate whatelse.. OTHER Alternative modalities have you come across to deal with intrusive thoughts ? Thanks
Can I have some of the symptoms of the Prodromal period without having an psychosis disorder? My mother has schizophrenia and I've been isolating, eating unhealthier, feeling depressed and anxious and smoking weed more.
I'm trying to better understand psychosis in the hope that it will affect me less, I'm trying to complete a course. But everytime I get into this particular unit it triggers psychosis, from an accident & I can't shake it. Last time it lasted 6 months & I needed care myself, it was like being in a war zone
I have psychosis and my step dad was an abusive alcoholic to everyone. would yell at me as a kid for not eating right, eating at night or little things.
I have complex post traumatic stress disorder and have just had psychosis I think. My skin felt like it was crawling and now I'm red raw. I could smell coffee through my phone when I saw the word. I've been paranoid and can't leave the house. I haven't showered in 5 days. I live alone and don't see anyone. It's awful, but I have insight. And I have crippling insomnia
I had never been robbed in my life On 3 / 4 My car was stolen, police did little but I found it and unfortunately the thief with it. He pulled put a 357 and walked me around for 3 hours looking for somewhere to kill me. No one except for a gas attendant got help with my signs and mouthing help A Month later , and note the thief had taken my phone and destroyed it I was talking to a iPhone seller for 2 weeks , and planned to meet in a public parking lot. It was a preppy looking 19 yo couple . Let me look at the phone outside the car very friendly and eventually was like hey " you can take a seat my girl will hop in back" Second i get in to the car dude says you know what time it is and cooked his gun put against forehead. Even the gf had a gun and kept tapping it against my head. I haven't been right since
Sorry to hear about this, sounds like two very traumatic experiences and I hope you are getting the support you need, glad to know that you managed to get through the experiences physically regardless and I wish you a healthy life and hope you can process it soon x
Hello.. i think my brother experiencing psychosis.. he have those symptoms. We dont know what medicine he can take.. i just bought multivitamins for him to take. Because we dont what medicine.. i wan him to bring in a psy clinic for checkup. But the checkup is too expensive... I dont know what to do. Im exhaust too searching for alternative med for him😓😓🙏
He has to clean up his diet. And take supplements like omega3, coQ10, glycine, d3+k2, and eat organic foods like eggs, clean meat, as less ultra proscessed foods as possible...... i had an psychosis and I have narsistic family members who now has my daughter, and are doing the same to her as they did to me, working on getting her back home to me, but my sister is a terrible narsisist too.
I am bad but when the authorities publicly made a example of me everyone else believes that I'm bad to understand in my head they would say that it's for your own good to change my ways by shaming me it didn't I was more bothered about everyone gossiping about me in the end I ended up with paranoia and phychosios
I have possible narcolepsy and i can't begin to tell you how many medical professionals think i have psychosis. There's patterns to my hallucinations. Before and after sleep. When tired... dr doesn't belive me
I haven't heard this before, psychosis and personality disorders can be quite different so I don't see how they relate- would have to look into this myself more!
@@AvaMason1 it's psychosis because of the main symptoms related to narcissism which is permanent delusional thinking. Similar to someone with permanent psychosis or schizophrenia, the narcissist is unable to distinguish between fantasy reality and humane realities (emotional and compassionate empathy, morality, self awareness, remorse). That's why they act in antisocial manners, their narcissisticly psychotic sense of reality feels real to them and they cannot question it, that's just how they think. There's other similarities between narcissism and psychosis (also related to delusional thinking) - and that is word salad. Everybody knows the narcissistic word salad as well as some patients with schizophrenia, the way they connect contexts and meanings is disturbed by their thought processes. What's also not talked about a lot is that a narcissistic household can create most, if not all personality disorders. Crazy stuff.
@@bobostyle1996 when the psychosis passes you should be displaying less narcissistic traits, as the psychosis just serves as a temporary escape from pain and creates a more defensive personality style while you’re still around chaos
I can see where this theory could definitely pan out. I believe both my bros are malignant NPDs. Their bizarre thinking had to have started over 60-70 years ago.
Is it just me, or is pretty much everything just stress shutting down the PFC and disinhibiting people? Seems like genetics don't actually make you vulnerable, they just get expressed when you stop being able to inhibit the behavior that they drive? Like, surely partially expressed forms are the only way most disorders could have evolved in the first place?
You don't know the exact percentages regarding the link between psychosis and trauma, so please don't state estimated numbers (that do not account for dissociated trauma that has not yet been remembered) as fact.
My two trauma never go away. First one is a bad car roll over accident. After the accident my driven experience change forever Second I shoot myself in the tight. The gun just went off by itself after a jump by playing basketball. Afterwards I just never trust be around gun. Because my little voice tell me to be careful the gun might go off by itself. What an idiot?
Revenge fantasies and annger i have personally due to being a former child victim of a forced adoption and subsewuent childhood abuse trauma 😐 cmht are useless and side with abusers no use to ppl like myself who NEED intense 121 therapy with an impartial non biased PROFESSIONAL who sympathisers with victims and dosnt blame the victim 😐
Someone needs to shut this woman up. Because of people like her, if someone breaks my lock, I spend three days in a seclusion room. I wish someone shut this woman up. She is nonsense. What she says hurts some people.
My son suffered from schizophrenia and I had no idea. The part about the unchanging beliefs hit me hard. He truly believed he did not have a problem. I took him to 12 doctors (therapists and psychiatrists) in a 3 year span all of whom let me know that if he wasn't willing to accept the help, there was nothing they could do for him. This disease is the worst mental illness in existence. He refused standard medicine in favor of illicit drugs and died of a fentanyl overdose last summer. My heart is broken, but I want to help educate people on this disease as I literally had no idea what was happening to my son till it was too late.

Thank you for taking the time to record these videos and bringing more knowledge to non-professionals and everyone affected by trauma. 💚
No problem, I hope it was helpful :)
It's so true that it ties in with the past. I cope really well with my schizophrenia symptoms, when they arise I do what I can to distract myself healthily with resources such as friends or person resource. Great video! Thanks for spreading awareness.

Very true!
Very informative lecture. You are hardworker and devotion.
Excellent video and great job putting everything together eloquently.
It is helping me.
Love your breakdown of things I deal with. It’s helped me understand and in a way fight when I’m dealing with delusional thinking
I had trauma at school it was an unreality prelude to later mental health problems.
I died several times in various ways and I now don't feel much at all for this life.

Thank you for the video. Ya, I am wondering somehow how do we know if someone has hullcination sx yet grew up in a loving family could have a traumatic life ? If not drug to navigate whatelse.. OTHER Alternative modalities have you come across to deal with intrusive thoughts ? Thanks
Can I have some of the symptoms of the Prodromal period without having an psychosis disorder? My mother has schizophrenia and I've been isolating, eating unhealthier, feeling depressed and anxious and smoking weed more.
Thanks for the details I really appreciate👍😊👍
Solid video! Thank you for all your work
My pleasure! :)
@@AvaMason1 what's the cure for that mental health problem
Thank you very much. Can you suggest just one book about the topic? I would be glad to read it.
I'm trying to better understand psychosis in the hope that it will affect me less, I'm trying to complete a course. But everytime I get into this particular unit it triggers psychosis, from an accident & I can't shake it. Last time it lasted 6 months & I needed care myself, it was like being in a war zone
My 22 year old son is in psychosis right now. How can I best support him and get him out of it?
I have psychosis and my step dad was an abusive alcoholic to everyone. would yell at me as a kid for not eating right, eating at night or little things.
I am a huge fan of the Trigger Warning at the start
👍 cool
Thanks! :)
I have complex post traumatic stress disorder and have just had psychosis I think. My skin felt like it was crawling and now I'm red raw. I could smell coffee through my phone when I saw the word. I've been paranoid and can't leave the house. I haven't showered in 5 days. I live alone and don't see anyone. It's awful, but I have insight. And I have crippling insomnia
How are you getting help ?
Sounds similar to what I go through. I have PTSD, Panic Disorder, Insomnia, and GAD all diagnosed
You need medication. I’m on Klonopin and Xanax. Lexapro helps everyone else, but SSRI’s don’t work on me.
Prolonged insomnia after. c-PTSD can really mess you up, in itself.
This was very informative, thank you very much✨
I had never been robbed in my life
On 3 / 4 My car was stolen, police did little but I found it and unfortunately the thief with it. He pulled put a 357 and walked me around for 3 hours looking for somewhere to kill me. No one except for a gas attendant got help with my signs and mouthing help
A Month later , and note the thief had taken my phone and destroyed it I was talking to a iPhone seller for 2 weeks , and planned to meet in a public parking lot. It was a preppy looking 19 yo couple . Let me look at the phone outside the car very friendly and eventually was like hey " you can take a seat my girl will hop in back"
Second i get in to the car dude says you know what time it is and cooked his gun put against forehead. Even the gf had a gun and kept tapping it against my head.
I haven't been right since
Sorry to hear about this, sounds like two very traumatic experiences and I hope you are getting the support you need, glad to know that you managed to get through the experiences physically regardless and I wish you a healthy life and hope you can process it soon x
This is so terrible .
I’m so sorry
That you can tell about it
Is amazing
Hello.. i think my brother experiencing psychosis.. he have those symptoms. We dont know what medicine he can take.. i just bought multivitamins for him to take. Because we dont what medicine.. i wan him to bring in a psy clinic for checkup. But the checkup is too expensive... I dont know what to do. Im exhaust too searching for alternative med for him😓😓🙏
He has to clean up his diet. And take supplements like omega3, coQ10, glycine, d3+k2, and eat organic foods like eggs, clean meat, as less ultra proscessed foods as possible...... i had an psychosis and I have narsistic family members who now has my daughter, and are doing the same to her as they did to me, working on getting her back home to me, but my sister is a terrible narsisist too.
I found out just today i have psychosis. And ptsd😏
Really informative thank you
I am bad but when the authorities publicly made a example of me everyone else believes that I'm bad to understand in my head they would say that it's for your own good to change my ways by shaming me it didn't I was more bothered about everyone gossiping about me in the end I ended up with paranoia and phychosios
You forgot to provide link to the papers you referred to in this video
thank you so much for this video
I know my psychosis was caused by my trauma so I don’t think there’s any reason not to believe it’s the same for others.
How can you know that? Kind regards.
@@kimkom6401 because I know my own mind, simple
Did you have depression before psychosis?
Thanks for this
Thank you so much !
I had a religious psychosis. I saw Jesus Christ ...I felt like I was possessed.
What's the cure?
Spot on
I have possible narcolepsy and i can't begin to tell you how many medical professionals think i have psychosis.
There's patterns to my hallucinations. Before and after sleep. When tired... dr doesn't belive me
Hey, great video.
Did you know that narcissism is a form of early childhood psychosis, but it's permanent?
I haven't heard this before, psychosis and personality disorders can be quite different so I don't see how they relate- would have to look into this myself more!
@@AvaMason1 it's psychosis because of the main symptoms
related to narcissism which is permanent delusional thinking. Similar to someone with permanent psychosis or schizophrenia, the narcissist is unable to distinguish between fantasy reality and humane realities (emotional and compassionate empathy, morality, self awareness, remorse). That's why they act in antisocial manners, their narcissisticly psychotic sense of reality feels real to them and they cannot question it, that's just how they think.
There's other similarities between narcissism and psychosis (also related to delusional thinking) - and that is word salad. Everybody knows the narcissistic word salad as well as some patients with schizophrenia, the way they connect contexts and meanings is disturbed by their thought processes.
What's also not talked about a lot is that a narcissistic household can create most, if not all personality disorders. Crazy stuff.
@@panelolliThat's funny! I had a psychosis that made me realize I have NPD.
@@bobostyle1996 when the psychosis passes you should be displaying less narcissistic traits, as the psychosis just serves as a temporary escape from pain and creates a more defensive personality style while you’re still around chaos
I can see where this theory could definitely pan out.
I believe both my bros are malignant NPDs. Their bizarre thinking had to have started over 60-70 years ago.
What about a change in writing?? Penmanship
After I die ...Me and Jesus we will have serious conversation. 😑
Wow ! My head is spinning
Is it just me, or is pretty much everything just stress shutting down the PFC and disinhibiting people? Seems like genetics don't actually make you vulnerable, they just get expressed when you stop being able to inhibit the behavior that they drive? Like, surely partially expressed forms are the only way most disorders could have evolved in the first place?
Did she say that she is a doctor?
You don't know the exact percentages regarding the link between psychosis and trauma, so please don't state estimated numbers (that do not account for dissociated trauma that has not yet been remembered) as fact.
My two trauma never go away.
First one is a bad car roll over accident.
After the accident my driven experience change forever
Second I shoot myself in the tight.
The gun just went off by itself after a jump by playing basketball.
Afterwards I just never trust be around gun.
Because my little voice tell me to be careful the gun might go off by itself.
What an idiot?
I rest my case. Cool.
wow
2:13 Experienced all sensory versions. I have witnessed deep immersion toward a belief but it was entirely false to me, and quite frankly off putting.
Revenge fantasies and annger i have personally due to being a former child victim of a forced adoption and subsewuent childhood abuse trauma 😐 cmht are useless and side with abusers no use to ppl like myself who NEED intense 121 therapy with an impartial non biased PROFESSIONAL who sympathisers with victims and dosnt blame the victim 😐

Someone needs to shut this woman up. Because of people like her, if someone breaks my lock, I spend three days in a seclusion room. I wish someone shut this woman up. She is nonsense. What she says hurts some people.

Why are psychiatrists obsessed with hygiene... weirdos
Thank you so much for sharing this. 🙏😇🌹
My daughter suffered a trauma and now has physics.
How do I get help.
Provide her with high proteins foods. She need to avoid sugar and carb from her diet.
@@assemon7how will high protein help? 🤔
