      @Srithor You are doing a piss poor job of explaining any of these points. You want to be understood then its up to you to make yourself understood instead of insulting people because of your own incapabilities. The video DOES mention paranoid schizophrenia "Improving care for america's paranoid schizophrenics". Its a joke video clearly not meant to take seriously...

    • @Kokonutzlz
      @Kokonutzlz 5 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      @Srithor sorry to burst your ego bubble but literally the whole video it displays a box saying 'America's Paranoid Schizophrenics'. The main part is them being paranoid, but it's upgraded by adding schizophrenia

    • @kairuw6477
      @kairuw6477 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Srithor if I may ask, you claim to be a professional no? If that’s the case may I ask why you said they confused a neurological disorder with a plausible symptom of said disorder? I’m kind of confused why you felt the need to state that if the point of the joke is that they would be exasperating the joke. I’m currently studding neuroscience and would just like a clarification on that point since that seems like and important thing to note. Since you seem to be knowledgeable in the field I would love it if you could explain this. I could see it as a confusion between just general paranoia versus paranoid schizophrenia as what you were stating to be the confusion. But that wouldn’t make sense considering they were hinting at symptoms that would not be apart of some sort of general paranoia disorder and would be more inline with schizophrenia. Thanks in advance and I hope to hear back from you soon! :)

    • @kairuw6477
      @kairuw6477 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Srithor can I ask why symptom is in air quotes? It seems like you are not disputing the fact that it’s a symptom which is what it sounded like from some of your arguments. Also this video doesn’t seem to be attempting to inform the public on the nature of schizophrenia, just kind of act as a nod to those who know about the discorder at least vaguely? Not only that any of the things taken at face value from this video would exasperate the paranoia symptoms that such people would have if actually implemented no? It would seem kind of weird to take this all at face value wouldn’t it? Or am I crazy to think that? If I ever do work in this kind of stuff I would like to know what would be an appropriate way to show case this disorder. If this is truly inappropriate I would appreciate it if you could let me know in fair detail on how to present this. It is a fascinating disorder and I would love to be able to do the topic justice if I ever have the need to. Once again thank you in advance!

I supplement with a healthy keto diet that's proven to help epileptics, but believe me when I say my meds are a GOOD thing. In general, though, America is overmedicated, I agree.

    I know it's not the best look but I showed this to my schizophrenic boyfriend without context when it first came out. He responded exactly how you thought one would. I explained to him it's just a parody video and he absolutely loved the prank I pulled on him. He thought it was hilarous. We were together for 12 years. Unfortunately he took his own life Nov. 14, 2021. It may seem dumb but I revisit this video to remember how we laughed together.

      The Devil is a liar. What they go into are visions, but what they “hear” about what they see probably isn’t their future. The Devil is confusing and tormenting them. Sometimes with what they see or hear, but more often with how others misguide and treat them. It’s a spiritual issue and an issue of trying to reason through it without scriptures to direct and fight it. Even Jesus had the Devil show him stuff, but he fought it with the truth. Read the gospels with that perspective. That is if you truly care about your patience. I see people get set free. Do you? I’m not being snarky, are you seeing the same results that Deliverance ministers and Biblical counselors see where people go from homeless and out of their mind to productive leaders in society having better than any vision of the future they ever imagined? Like the man in Mark five who knew to run to Jesus after being a cutter he was later found clothed and within his right mind no longer needed if to be chained. It doesn’t matter what position you hold working with those who are deemed mentally ill, shift your own mind and how you see them, see them as God sees them and learn how to talk to and pray for them. They are actually seeing stuff they just don’t know why or where it’s coming from, and they don’t know how to get it to stop, some of these people opened the doorway to that stuff through New Age meditation, messing with the occult, or most common they literally invite in a demon through prayer trying to run away from a trauma and not realizing it’s not God they are calling on as they make deals that have to be broken. I’m not saying that chemical imbalances do not exist, sometimes the problem is drugs, physical, or nutritional issues instead or in addition, but to be “crazy” is to know the truth and reject it that thinking other less spiritual options could work out just as well, that’s crazy. Sadly, medicated people too horrible crimes, I’m not even sure if we can say it’s a band-Aid as they “act normal” (emotionless) but the core issues remain. People need the truth of the Lord and to humbly submit to him as being their custom solutions and the only way.

      People hearing in the spiritual realm aren’t crazy, people listening to the demons who claim to love them or give them power while they tell them to do harmful things, that’s another story. Scripture says Satan is the father of lies who comes to steal kill and destroy, people need to stop putting their faith in him. People coming to Christ and being delivered from the voices or even possession that was beyond their ability to control or be controlled with meds is a real thing, how you want to define how it works, it doesn’t matter how it works, it matters that true and “genuine” acceptance of what Jesus did on the cross does work. By his Isaiah 53 stripes we are healed. See the gospels, start in Matthew, Mark, or John.

    Eye contact is also a way of letting people know you care about them. If everyone in the community could organize to stare at them whenever they are around, it would let them know they are supported. But, prolonged eye contact can be a little intimidating, so its important to break the eye contact as soon as they look back. This way we can ensure the greatest level of comfort.

    This is so relevant to how some medical professionals make mental illness worse while “helping”a patient. A few ways are: providing solutions for patients that are general due to seeing them as inhuman or under funding, anti psychotics lacking proper testing or even a proper nutritional supplement for how they affect the body of someone already under stress, isolation from society or only exposure to others in a crisis taking someone further from normalcy, ignoring aspects of biology like physical fitness as part of maintaining homeostasis (by locking someone up during a crisis).

    Been on antipsychotics since 2014 but only diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic in 2019.I was admitted to a secure psychiatric ward twice that year. Won't go into the details of my delusions because I don't like talking about it, but I would have killed someone if I hadn't been hospitalised. The misconception of a schizophrenic having a dozen independent personalities within them is absolute bollocks. People need to be educated on these matters, not to make them aware so they don't offend schizophrenics, but to make them aware so they can spot possible symptoms in other people (They won't be able to spot their own symptoms if they have schizophrenia, not until they've been medicated and stabilised, and even then it's not guaranteed. I acknowledge my illness, but still can't ignore how some of my delusions still seem real, to this day) If a person knows what to look out for they can help save a person's suffering by getting medical intervention, be it voluntary (rarely) or forced (almost always), and prevent that person harming themselves, or others. Wouldn't wish this illness on my worst enemy, it's cruel in too many ways

I hope he gets help but also he traumatized me. I just wanna say too that both the police and the Mental Crisis team failed.

      The thing is, people often confuse schizophrenia for DID when in reality they're pretty different.

      Now we find out they predicted the future, back then. They things they say in this video were either declassified or brought into public knowledge through "new research" (code term for "secret services had this for a few years, and then someone else (re)discovered how it's done and allowed it to become public knowledge").

There's also other red shit on my desk, scissors, 1/10th burnt candle, + fucking red handle screw driver behind me with a perfect view of my screen over my shoulder. water bottle cap. Just got a bright red fluffy cloth basically a blanket like two months ago but I don't even use that shit to keep warm, I use it as a replacement pillow.. holy chit.... just googled minority report (idk why) and google gave me a pop-up: "How satisfied are you with these results?"... gtfo :((((((((((( since when does google want feedback on anything?..... the feels

      oh buddy they can do a LOT more than just that and this isn't coming from a conspiracy standpoint this is coming from an IT / ICT standpoint. For one, they can hack into pretty much anything that has a wireless signal.
      + the five eyes surveillance bots have a ton of functionality. Things like keyloggers, remote access, turning on ''covert connectivity'' (connecting an offline device to the internet via remote or non-remote methods)
      It's pretty cool stuff tbh. At least if you're interested in ICT.

    Wow, this is great; my stunt of living in the sewers of a psychiatric ward for the last couple of years is finally getting recognition from the government! I'm so glad I'm not alone in doing this. Every 67 hours I restart a cycle of whispering "I am watching you" seven times every 8 hours through a megaphone so that the entire psychiatric ward rumbles. I think the whispering helps so they know I don't share their caregiver information. I hope they feel better, knowing that if they stumble, I will be there to pick them up.

    My friend is schizophrenic and I love to help her out. Whenever she feels paranoid or delusional I make sure to scream loudly (I hide in her fiberglass) so she knows she isn't alone. Another accommodation I like to make is to act insane, so when she tells someone what she saw no one believes her. That way, she always has something to think about instead of being paranoid. You guys are doing god's work.
