The Other Side of the Story: Schizophrenia

  • In this video, I attempt to draw empathy to the highly stigmatized and misunderstood topic of "Schizophrenia." I do this by analyzing the works of one of my favorite artists, Bryan Charnley. He suffered from schizophrenia and he depicts his condition vividly through allegories and symbolism, and I chose to talk about Bryan's art because I feel it can really draw empathy to such a misunderstood topic, and with millions struggling with this condition, it's important to help bring understanding and light to this subject.

    What i find crazy looking at artwork done by people with Schizophrenia, is how similar it is to people who take lots of acid and create art under the influence. I had a mate who went off the deep end a little taking acid and some of his art is remarkable close to what i've seen from schizophrenic artists. The more months that went by, with him using almost daily, the more abstract and harder to comprehend they got until eventually we had to intervene after maybe 6 months of this. Don't know if this means much but it's just something i noticed.

      Inaccurate diagnoses aren't very uncommon, I've been diagnosed as autistic as a toddler and schizo effective bipolar as a teenager, and I don't see or feel any symptoms of anything other than anxiety especially in crowds and occasional depression.

    • @geekface7567
      @geekface7567  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Schizophrenia comes in many different forms, and there is no one way to experience schizophrenia, so it's okay if you don't entirely relate to Bryan's experience with his schizophrenia because that is his experience with the illness, not yours. For some, schizophrenia is more disabling, and others can learn to live with it and recognize what isn't real and ignore it. Just make sure to keep following up with your doctor or therapist and maybe even bring some of your concerns to them about where your diagnosis doesn't quite make sense.

    Good job! This is one of my favorite artists. One thing though:
    when he says “ego crucifixion” he’s saying that his ego is dying. While the term “ego death” is mostly used when talking about drugs I think it fits in quite well here. Crucifixion is a slow painful death, his feelings and sense of self is slipping away as his symptoms worsen.

    Great content, very well researched and narrated. You mentioned that this video started as a school paper; I'm curious as to what are your fields of study, and what you plan of getting more specialized into. I study neuroscience, psychology and sociology as a hobby... as you dig deeper, there's the realization of how the human consciousness can be a beautifully terrifying concept (or terrifyingly beautiful, if you're the 'half full' type). Kudos for your talent and effort, keep up the good work!

    Watching this months after it was published, It's helping me understand some stuff about myself!
    I suffered from a period of mental illness in my teenage/early adult years in which I suffered from delusions, intense paranoia, a feeling that others could read my mind and thoughts, and the feeling that I would be attacked by everyone around me if I acted in a "weird" way. I can remember drawing pictures in my sketchbook of weird, zig-zag lines creeping towards the center of the page, and birds/people watching me constantly.
    I would not consider myself Schizophrenic, and have not been diagnosed as such, though my Grandfather and Uncle have both been diagnosed with it. It really makes me wonder about how I could have had a transitory experience of these things, and whether there is a name for a short-term version of this issue that can come and go throughout your life. I certainly now have sophisticated coping mechanisms for the extreme paranoia and delusions, but listening to this video has left me with open ended questions about my own mental health.
    Thanks for the hard work you put in to making it :)

    • @geekface7567
      @geekface7567  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you for sharing! Yea, there are other conditions similar to schizophrenia like schizo-affective disorder, and then there are conditions that can cause delusions (like bipolar) or substances (like psychedelics). There are many possible explanations to find out why you had those experiences, but finding a therapist can help give a good explanation. I know that when I went to see a therapist, everything in my life started to fit together and make sense. but I am glad to see that you are showing the world that you have healthy coping mechanisms and that you are making it through in one piece c: I'm proud of you dood!

    Theory ( a wacky one): I believe the eyes that always watch him are those sets of eyes in the angels, the ophanim. Since he described Jesus a lot and says a lot of his religious views I think the eyes and the machine are the communications of Jesse or angles themselves. And the crowd of people in the art around him are the angels telling to come to heaven and stop the suffering that was cast upon him. I know it’s a wacky theory but it what I thought during the video

    I turned this off after a minute or two. So poorly done. So unnecessarily melodramatic. Listening to this guy struggle to keep his voice slow and monotonal for creep effect was already too much. It's just disrespectful. He's completely missed the humanity of Bryan and his experience, and therefore any possible lesson. Even though he ends up reading Bryan's own incredible words from his diary he still misses it!
    There's a ton of fascinating material to respect here but this guy captures none of it. Brian was so lucid in his self-examination of his last break. We're lucky he journaled it and that his brother has shared it with us. Even as he deconstructed, and lost his sense of self- or rather any delineation of himself and the real world from the chaos of his unbridled imagination, Bryan was still conscious and mindful. Even prosaic. Imagine that space he was in. He must have felt so alone and afraid. It must have been agonizing and relentless. Apparently it was unbearable because eventually he decided the only way to mute the hellish clamor was to take his own life. And he likely knew it days or weeks before he did it.
    This video is just a lazy shuffle for clicks. Pseudo highbrow creepypasta.
    Here's a much better (and non-exploitative) mini doc on Bryan Charnley's last days here, by Blind Dweller th-cam.com/video/A9gYgHkizSI/w-d-xo.html In fact, that's probably where this guy got his idea to make this video.
