Most people with schizophrenia don’t see thing, they hear things. Also people with schizophrenia know (most of the time) that they aren’t real, that’s why suicide is so common; they feel crazy.
@@GoodFella21100 they aren't wrong and neither are you. many people developing schizophrenia know it isn't normal (depending on the severity) but then there are others who believe it is normal and they become lost in themselves. maybe you shouldn't say things you don't know.
They may know its not real but it feels so real and even convinces me sometimes, also most of my halucinations are infact auditory I also have visual halucinations with the ocasional sensory ones
new comment I heard somewhere that teenagers and young adults with schizophrenia are more likely to have visual hallucinations, although they will often have auditory hallucinations alongside them.
I think thats true after they've received their diagnosis, because they are able to more easily spot the symptoms. Before being diagnosed I think they may think it's normal or be unaware that they are hallucinating.
My dad suffered from this horrible illness. He would constantly swat at spiders that only he saw. He would wander the streets and unfortunately in 2018 he was hit & killed walking on an interstate. 💔😖 please, PLEASE keep tabs on your loved ones who suffer from this! I miss you dad, but the spiders are gone now. You can rest.
i have schizophrenia myself, its a tough condition to deal with. with it, it’s hard for me to cope with actions and show my expressions, i just freeze up for a few seconds then just go on about my day. if any one else here is schizophrenic, my prayers go out to you.
*One important thing they glossed over was that aside from the hallucinations, there is a lot of symptom overlap with other psychiatric disorders, including bipolar disorder and depression.

Schizophrenia destroyed my ability to socialize, study and think in high school. I lived many years without treatment. It was and is terrible at times. My heart goes out to those who have this affliction. May you find peace.
Kashmeer its especially hard to talk about though because realsing the hallucinations arent real and theyre hallucinations but at the same time being confused and disoriented thinking its real at the same time its not fun
It depends on if they are aware that they have it. I have it and though I can usually tell if something is fake, it is no less scary. Luckily, my hallucinations are of Horror movie stuff, nothing to be confused with real. However I struggle with delusions of people trying to be mean to me or rude, complete strangers
Reminds me of the time I saw a maggot in my milk lid and it fell on the floor and i couldn't find it and just stand there for three minutes trying to find out if it was real or not
I have schizoaffective disorder, and I absolutely KNOW my hallucinations are not real. I've always known. I didn't tell anyone until I was a teenager because I knew that seeing and hearing stuff other people didn't isn't normal and I didn't want to be taken away.
I was diagnosed at a very young age and my father developed it later in life. Thanks to a medication regiment, I thrive and have made it to the age of 36! Theres always hope!!...
Thank you for sharing, it's heartening to hear that you're doing well. My cousin suffers terribly from this illness and it's nice to think that maybe one day he'll be able to get better.
@@johnnyfrem3600 thank you for your comforting response, if it's not too personal to ask, what was it that helped you? (Please don't feel obligated to answer if that's too intrusive)
It depends. If a person was BORN blind, then no, they have no concept of sight. If someone lost thier sight (like me, I'm using a screen reader), then yes.
I'm 17 years old with schizophrenia and growing up with it was a major struggle! this video has both helped me mentally and physically! I learned more about my own condition! Its scary and I'm honestly scared of myself. I'm working on getting better but it's very hard because none of my family has been known to history and my voices hurt me and help me! I consistently have to be in a constant challenge and only knowing more seems to help me keep control of my voices.
Personally, I've lived with this horrible condition for quite some time now. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 17, and it's a terrible experience. I had so much going for me. I was attending a prestigious university and was on track for a degree in mechanical engineering. But Life has it's hurdles. I had to let go of my college life to focus on my mental. The voices were always a constant companion, as was the fear and the emotional blunting. It's hard for me to have emotions. I often times feel so numb. Not depression feelings, though I would feel depressed from time to time. But I don't even feel like I'm living, just existing. Dissociation is a common thing for me - like I'm on some kind of autopilot, not even feeling like I have a body. I felt like my life was crumbling around me, and that my mind was coming apart. Schizophrenia has robbed me of many things, not to mention my hopes and dreams. But I am getting better. I now have the voices under control, and I'm no longer afraid. I still feel numbness and dissociated feelings, but now I'm trying to publish a novel based on my experiences, and with that I hope to return to college. I was a broken man for a long time. But now at this point in my life, i can say that I'm finally picking the pieces up again. I'm trying to rebuild what I lost. There's always hope out there. With a combination of medicine, therapy, and with the support of family and friends, one can get better and even thrive. And that's what I hope to do.
Hey, you can do it man. I have a psychosis and can very much relate to what you say. It's 100% possible to achieve what you have just said! I know it for sure
I really respect the fact that this was done with such empathy and respect toward those suffering from schizophrenia. It would have been so easy to turn this into a shock value or purely entertaining thing like many things about this illness do, but instead it was compassionate and informative. Well done Infographics Show!
Please stop showing schizophrenic people with multiple heads/clones. This just reinforces the classic misunderstanding that schizophrenia is DID (multiple personality). Psychosis and dissociations are very different things, I know that from my own experience. Please keep people informed of schizophrenia in a CLEAR manner, don't FEED these misunderstandings!!
Chaka there are a lot of people still under the impression that they are the same disorders. it’s important to point these things out because these illnesses are highly stigmatized and it’s not arrogant to point out when something meant to be informative is damaging.
@@Minienz89 schizophrenia can happen to anyone. i'm not going to pretend i can give straight facts but just look it up. it can happen at any age and to anyone, the causes can be several or few factors that contribute to the severity. this only means you have the potential to develop schizophrenia, not that you will.
I've been struggling with this disorder since I was 22. I'm 26 now and it is extremely difficult and not a joke. I'm thankful that I'm in treatment because the therapists, doctors, and advocates are all helping me.
What are some of the challenges you face? I was diagnosed with psychosis in 2017 and took meditation for about a year. I felt much better after about a year and I began working so I stopped the medication because I felt some of the side effects affected me from performing my best at work. I do from time to time have lapses in focus and feel disoriented mentally. I’m worried that I relapse since I’m naturally high risk since I have many relatives who suffer mental issues on both sides of my family.
This video is a waste of your time. Vincent is known to have had a seizure disorder which you can see in the unique patterns & halos in his paintings. This author should be ashamed of himself.
@The Infographics Show, we learned in school that Marijuana causes cancer, brain damage, pre-mature death, and unwanted violence. It has been banned under Federal law for almost a century for a reason. Even inhaling the smoke increases your chances of schizophrenia by 75%. Stay away from this deadly drug, thank you~
I'm a schizophrenic and I wasn't figured out till 2008 after highschool but it was a fight to getting my grades right. But I work really hard to get things together.
My grand-grandmother killed herself because of schizophrenia. My grandfather has schizophrenia too. I'm 14 and I show many of these signs and I had 2 suicide attempts. I don't have hallucinations. I'm afraid I have it too. I'm in psychological care and going to the doctor soon for a diagnose.
Me clicking this video: "This looks like an interesting video about schizophrenia. Let's see what's to learn." Me after video: "... Am I schizophrenic?" Edit: Oh hey. Thanks for the support guys. :D I'm finna read the replies
Not Schizophrenic but got BPD which means along with many things I get psychosis sometimes and the voices, intrusive thoughts, delusions and hallucinations can range from weird but banal to terrifying. Once at work I was painting the art galleries (I’m a museum buildings worker) and I kept getting a woman in period clothing harassing me saying that I’m damaging her master’s home but I told her that I’m only painting, must’ve been weird to those around me but at the time I thought she was real.
As someone who has been dealing with psychosis since my late teens, I can say that not all symptoms are the same for everyone. For example, one person who may have auditory hallucinations may not have visual hallucinations and vice versa. There are also different severity levels of the condition (e.g. very mild to severe) and can be treated differently. It is a horrible illness to have and more awareness needs to be made.
S3dG3i3, in fact, I’d say I’m completely over this. Sure I still get thoughts, but they hardly ever cause me anxiety for over a second or too. My anxiety was having schizophrenia lol.
Hope Shines, So after this I kinda went into a state of deep depression for constantly being in fear of losing my mind, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t focus in school. My grades dropped severely, and all I can ever think about was me having schizophrenia, and me obsessing over it. I’d constantly, think about it, and tell myself I’m okay. But it only made it worse. Nobody else could tell there was anything wrong with me though, but in my head it was a constant battle with myself. So I began researching and eventually learned it was something called “Pure-OCD” and I also learned you can completely over come this if you’re determined enough too. So I learned techniques to help improve my mental health, and to not feed into the anxiety. And what helped me the most is actually a simple answer.
One of the conditions that can lead to misdiagnosis with schizophrenia that you failed to mention is autism. I have Asperger's syndrome, something I learned three years ago after having been followed for more than forty years by a misdiagnosis of schizophrenia. Yes, I have sensory problems, yes, I'm nobody's social butterfly, but the only time I've ever hallucinated was when I had a high fever as a little girl. I might see the world a bit differently from most people, but I now perceive it as a gift. There's a distinct danger in the way that far too many people want to paste a psychiatric label on some things that they cannot categorize as neatly as they'd like. It cost me the prime of my life.
If you don’t mind me asking did you experience delusions? If you didn’t experience hallucinations or delusions than whoever diagnosed you with schizophrenia is extremely incompetent.
I was diagnosed. Day's that led up to the realization I had it really were torture. Thrown into an asylum but survived and now living my life. It's something else when you have auditory hallucinations.
It’s really hard to live in society with schizophrenia, no one will understand what goes on in my mind but thank you for trying to explain and help others like me.❤️👽❤️
I went on too develop psychotic features , and I agree with that .. if you're talking about horrific debilitating anxiety that makes people become recluses
My dad is a recovered coke addict. He gets voices or feelings that he is being watched but he can brush them off. Sometimes i worry that he is going to come back to it and snap.
Hello! Im 13 and got diagnosed with skizophrenia at age 12, but I've had it since i was little, i hallucinate and hear voices often, and have periods in my life where i believe that im the main character in a movie or game, i would also often talk to the "audience" like they where there, by the way if anybody has any questions about my skizophrenia feel free to ask!
Very sad. I had episodes when I was 18 about 3 months after my birthday. But it wasn't schizophrenia. It was caused by medication. I have an amazing doctor who listened, understood, and took action immediately. I was not diagnosed but I think I have a little bit of understanding of it. But for all of you with it. I am so truly sorry, it absolutely breaks my heart to see you going though that. My best friends mom had it and she ended up so bad that she didn't even recognize her own son. He got kicked out. Soon after she killed herself with a knife. It's very heart breaking to me if you have this illness. I'm very sorry if you do.
The idea that this can just occur scares me. My aunt had some form of psychosis, she would frequently lash out against my family members and one day, she just left the family. We have no idea where she went or what she's doing now. The irony is that she studied psychology
Vincent Van Gogh didn't cut off his whole ear because of an argument. He liked a girl whose ear was misformed, so to make her feel less alone he cut off a part of his ear and sent it to her to show his empathy. He was really kind, although it was a weird action.
I have a son who is 15 years old who struggles with this mental illness.Everyday is a struggle for him, but with God first and daily prayers he is keeping him alive. I do not wish this illness on no one because he is trapped in his own mind daily.
I have a friend who experiences terrifying hallucinations (organs, gore, bugs, maggots, disgusting things basically) when she's off of her medication. She knows that they're not real but is mortified, etc. There was a time in her life where she fell into a deep state of depression and actually lashed out at me for trying to help her. People nowadays think that it's cool to hallucinate. Shame.
Thank you for making this video For someone professionally diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder this video sums up some of the things I see or how they work. This video will teach people about Schizophrenia.
@@Darkstalker212 just observe them. And watch them and protect them but don't try to change them or force anything upon them. And you shall see greatness.
@@BieluChukwu9 Been struggling to do that for years. I'm currently trying to convince my mother to go back home. She's been sleeping in the car at some parking lot. She always let my older brother stay with her (that also has schizophrenia) and they get into arguments and fights. So much, that the police know about their symptoms. She kicks him out, he goes to jail, when he gets back out. She let him right back in again. So tiring man, dealing with them over the years. Has cause me to have depression.
I used to think I was schizophrenic. But I realized I did not have hallucinations or delusions. But I had the cognitive problems and depression and mild mania. I was later diagnosed with Autism.
Thank you for explaining this in a sensitive and compassionate way when schizophrenia gets So much bad press. I know this as a life long sufferer of mental illness
I love how this is broke down completely to explain the whole entire dilemma of this that everyone is suffering with secretly deep down or without even knowing or ever knowing.😄😋
There can be positive voices, but mostly they are negative. They can get worse as you get older and it can be more difficult to brush them off as the years go on. I have it. Therapy and medication is the best route to go, believe me. At 26, I had a constant hallucination of an evil woman telling me to crash the car and that was last year. I ignored the hallucination, but it was distracting and dangerous
I suffered an episode of depression psychosis, where I started seeing and hearing a big humanoid being. It mostly gave me advice. But problem was, if I didn't listen to it it tended to get angry, which prompted me to get help.
My best friend has schizophrenia, she is not even 20 yet...she had many other illnesses and her home life is poor. The things she sees tend to be violent or with a dark mood. She taught herself to cope by drawing the things she saw, gave the things personalities, even made friends with them in order to not feel afraid. She is very brave and is fighting hard to cope. Most people have given up on trying to be friends because they aren't able to understand what she's going through and tell her to "Get over it they aren't real". Her parents are very religious and no longer take her to therapy, since she is still a minor she can't do anything. Thank you for spreading awareness about this, to help people understand this condition.
My dad was paranoid schizophrenic. He was nasty at times and it was hard to b around him and the things he would say were heartbreaking. He had a calmer side too and he would call me when he was drinking and call me baby or he said he knew I would make him feel better. It was a difficult life for sure.
Hallucinations and dreams are the same thing, your unconscious thoughts being interpreted through your sensory cortices. The difference is when there's 'leakage', the dreaming continues when you're awake. We need our unconscious to affect our interpretations of things we see when we're awake so that we can note similarities of experiences, but when 'affect' becomes 'overwhelm' you're hallucinating.
I watched a documentary in it it says that the brain when dreaming is similar to psychosis and that when you dream it’s a mini psychosis so what your saying makes sense from that angle
I’ve always been fascinated by schizophrenia, I’ve even dove down and tried to replicate those unique hallucinations with weird drugs, ( drugs that make you have nasty and scary hallucinations and voices) and yet I’ve only gotten a taste of what these people are going through
I started showing numerous symptoms of schizophrenia after a traumatic series of events in my early and mid 20s. They are mild, and I am aware that most of the time when I am perceiving or thinking of something wrong. However... That wrongness can be overwhelming at times... I did discover that certain foods can help suppress the symptoms, such as dark chocolate. Whereas fish seems to amplify the symptoms. I fear, one day, that I will become the old homeless man that screams and yells and hits himself while gathering cans...
Schizophrenia runs in my family. My great grandmother and great aunt (her daughter) both have it. My grandmother and mother don't have it but my sister and I deal with depression and have both attempted suicide and have self harmed at different parts of our lives. I'm 24 and I often worry about me going to a head doctor because i'm afraid they will diagnose me as schizophrenic. I don't hallucinate but I often have conversations with myself and my emotions can become really overwhelming to handle so I have frequent panick/anxiety attacks. I appreciate this video for not dehumanizing that population and I feel a little bit better about it
I have schizophenia which is terrified,i cant cope with my school work,cant focus or understand correctly what others says,my grade got only worse.Thank you the infographic show for making a video about this,at least i know im not alone
@@bentcbkietlam7492 a person with who has it does not know they have it... they actually feel that what they are experiencing is apart of the world.... almost like everyone else thinks the same way...
i had a pal who was messed up, wired thoughts, he actually thought there were people hiding in his air conditioner, but when ever he looked the people had on some invisible clothing
strange dude Alright, even with a few of us pointing out facts he was unable to see the facts, he really believed, we were apart of some government group....
My cousin had his 3rd episode yesterday but I still don’t know if he’s barely developing schizophrenia or if it’s bad depression One thing is that he knows he’s having an episode but he obviously doesn’t know he hallucinates and becomes delusional he also says he feels itchy and that someone is spying on him but one is that he still loves to play sports and hasn’t lost interest so I’m lost
There’s a form of depression that leads to psychosis. I was in the same position. I thought I might have been schizophrenic. I did some research and found out that there is a form of depression that shares signs of psychosis and can be confused with schizophrenia. Look it up. I was relieved when I found this out. I am on medication now and I am better. I am glad it was depression induced and not anything else.
Hi, I'm not diagnosed, but I had the same experience as you, I thought that someone on youtube with a channel named FBI was spying on me so, I fight with him a lot, just because I watched a video saying about fbi stuff and after that I start to overthink ☹☹
I have schizophrenia. I have never seen anything. I hear a lot of things, though. In order to know what is, real and what is not real I keep absolutely no social existence. If I hear someone calling my name, I will know it is fake. The last thing I want is others around me and get confused as to what is real and what is not real. I simplified things by deleting everyone in my life 8 August 2000. I am very lucky I work completely alone and never interact with anybody. This keeps things extremely stable.
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at about 21. I was diagnosed with OCD before that. I take medications twice a day. I used to think undercover cops were after me. Now my symptoms are lesser. I also take only one shower every 7-14 days.
Very true. I have Schizophrenia, but I've never had the kind where I thought that aliens were communicating with me or used technology on me to hear antennas or whatever. Or that I have powers and can see through walls. There are people like that. My hallucinations happen during bad episodes and they tend to be dead females. One woman that has Schizophrenia says that her hallucinations are of Pennywise and giant spiders, so it all varies from person to person and there's different stages too
I actually looked back in time and went through memories of my sister becoming wierd and showing more and more of those symptomes. Nobody suspected anything till she had a psychotic epizode. That illnes is terrible and going through all of the memories of it taking her away I cried.
I’ve heard different reasons for why Van Gogh lost part of his ear and his death. For the ear, I heard he lost it in a misguided attempt to duel someone over a woman, but had the true reason covered up for years. As to his death, I heard that he may have been accidentally shot while painting in that field by a young man, and forgave the kid with his dying breath. Not sure if any of that is true, but it’s what I heard. 🤷🏼♂️
One of my friends has a bf with schizophrenia as well, he has learned to live with it without medicine. I don't know how severe it is or used to be but he was commited to a mental institution for some time before he met her (he was released when they met). I heard that he can sometimes see things that aren't there but just ignores them. When you meet him you'll have no idea he has that diagnosis. So yeah, they can definitely live pretty much normal lives and aren't just "crazy". He has 2 kids now and they are going to get married :)
Likewise, I too had schizophrenia, was committed, and now get by just fine without medications (all of which have ridiculous long-term side effects and limited proof of their efficacy). Better than medication, I think a clean, healthy lifestyle is so much better at counter-acting schizophrenia (nutritious food, daily exercise, eight hours' nightly rest, elimination of stressors, honest communication with trusted friends.) And learn to think critically - a skill that should be taught in school.
My dad began a pretty bad psychotic break in 2015 and is finally taking his medication as of last year. He isn’t the same but I’m happy he’s able to live a somewhat normal life now.
My aunt has it and I ve been having suttle signs of hallucinations for 3 months now, it's mostly barely noticeable most of the time but I had a couple of vivid times where I heard my name or saw 2 shadow men beside my bed looking me in the eye and didn't dissappear until I turned my head away and turned back I'm scared and I ve made it a point to make the most of my life rn since my risk of having it in the future is increasing every time I hear smth and it happens and average of once to twice in a stressful week .
Usually on the tv when a person has to make a choice they show an angel and demon who try to influence the person. I guess it shows having a conscience. Is that normal?
It is possible that Gauguin choped of the ear of Van Gogh. I have read some studies where it is indicated, but not proved (like any other thesis about that event), that Gauguin, who was very skilled with the sword, could have choped an ear during the fight, when Van Gogh snapped (had an episode). In letters it is mentioned 'You are silent, so I will be" and it may reffer to this fight, since Gauguin would be placed in a cell otherwise.
I have been diagnosed with schizofrenia years ago but never had visual or auditive hallucination just obsesive thoughs like i was in war with my mind,contradictions,feel like people control my mind, fortunately those thoughs have passed
*YOU GUYS MADE A MISTAKE* I want to point out in terms of usage of Cannabis, the chances of developing schizophrenia do go up, and almost *GUARANTEE* Schizophrenia after consistent (daily) 1-2 year use, *ONLY* if you have specific genes. If you do not have the specific genes, then Cannabis use has no effect on possible Schizophrenia (I work with a start up that has been researching this specific topic for the past 5 years)
Thank you for showing the world, 4 years now since 19 now 23 and thanks to new medication thriving! Never give up!

I'm 17 years old with schizophrenia and growing up with it was a major struggle! this video has both helped me mentally and physically! I learned more about my own condition! Its scary and I'm honestly scared of myself. I'm working on getting better but it's very hard because none of my family has been known to history and my voices hurt me and help me! I consistently have to be in a constant challenge and only knowing more seems to help me keep control of my voices.
How you doing now man?
@@NeolaCreations Right .. it’s been a year , I hope life has been okay for you
How r u buddy. Maybe what u r going thru is a normal depression that comes n goes so don't worry.
@@NeolaCreations right now I'm doing great thank you for asking.
@@ManiB314 life has really gotten better for me.
Personally, I've lived with this horrible condition for quite some time now. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 17, and it's a terrible experience. I had so much going for me. I was attending a prestigious university and was on track for a degree in mechanical engineering.
But Life has it's hurdles. I had to let go of my college life to focus on my mental. The voices were always a constant companion, as was the fear and the emotional blunting. It's hard for me to have emotions. I often times feel so numb. Not depression feelings, though I would feel depressed from time to time. But I don't even feel like I'm living, just existing. Dissociation is a common thing for me - like I'm on some kind of autopilot, not even feeling like I have a body. I felt like my life was crumbling around me, and that my mind was coming apart.
Schizophrenia has robbed me of many things, not to mention my hopes and dreams. But I am getting better. I now have the voices under control, and I'm no longer afraid. I still feel numbness and dissociated feelings, but now I'm trying to publish a novel based on my experiences, and with that I hope to return to college.
I was a broken man for a long time. But now at this point in my life, i can say that I'm finally picking the pieces up again. I'm trying to rebuild what I lost.
There's always hope out there. With a combination of medicine, therapy, and with the support of family and friends, one can get better and even thrive.
And that's what I hope to do.
Hey, you can do it man. I have a psychosis and can very much relate to what you say. It's 100% possible to achieve what you have just said! I know it for sure

I really respect the fact that this was done with such empathy and respect toward those suffering from schizophrenia. It would have been so easy to turn this into a shock value or purely entertaining thing like many things about this illness do, but instead it was compassionate and informative.

I can’t imagine living with it.. sending my prayers to everyone dealing with it.

Please stop showing schizophrenic people with multiple heads/clones. This just reinforces the classic misunderstanding that schizophrenia is DID (multiple personality). Psychosis and dissociations are very different things, I know that from my own experience. Please keep people informed of schizophrenia in a CLEAR manner, don't FEED these misunderstandings!!
I don't have schizophrenia but I was going to say the same thing.
@Chaka Why so rude?
Chaka your whole comment smells🤢
That was a dumb thing to point out
Chaka there are a lot of people still under the impression that they are the same disorders. it’s important to point these things out because these illnesses are highly stigmatized and it’s not arrogant to point out when something meant to be informative is damaging.
Mental illness is no joke, if you have symptoms get checked and medication Also inform your partner and close ones, it can happen to anyone.
@@Minienz89 oh really? what makes you believe that?
@@Minienz89 schizophrenia can happen to anyone. i'm not going to pretend i can give straight facts but just look it up. it can happen at any age and to anyone, the causes can be several or few factors that contribute to the severity. this only means you have the potential to develop schizophrenia, not that you will.

@@_DMNO_ scizophrenia can't just happen in someone who isn't predisposed to it. Its caused by a genetic defect that was there since you existed
I've been struggling with this disorder since I was 22. I'm 26 now and it is extremely difficult and not a joke. I'm thankful that I'm in treatment because the therapists, doctors, and advocates are all helping me.
Multiple causes. Both my parents were diagnosed with mental illness. My father was diagnosed with schizophrenia and mother w/ Bipolar. Also stress.
@Awaken causes could be different for everyone. So there is no exact cause. So for me it was genetics and stress.
What are some of the challenges you face? I was diagnosed with psychosis in 2017 and took meditation for about a year. I felt much better after about a year and I began working so I stopped the medication because I felt some of the side effects affected me from performing my best at work. I do from time to time have lapses in focus and feel disoriented mentally. I’m worried that I relapse since I’m naturally high risk since I have many relatives who suffer mental issues on both sides of my family.

TIS or TLC? Which one do y’all prefer
Not Schizophrenic but got BPD which means along with many things I get psychosis sometimes and the voices, intrusive thoughts, delusions and hallucinations can range from weird but banal to terrifying. Once at work I was painting the art galleries (I’m a museum buildings worker) and I kept getting a woman in period clothing harassing me saying that I’m damaging her master’s home but I told her that I’m only painting, must’ve been weird to those around me but at the time I thought she was real.
Lol this is like my life story. I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago. I’m 23 now. Doing well! Good luck to all of my fellow people :)
As someone who has been dealing with psychosis since my late teens, I can say that not all symptoms are the same for everyone. For example, one person who may have auditory hallucinations may not have visual hallucinations and vice versa. There are also different severity levels of the condition (e.g. very mild to severe) and can be treated differently. It is a horrible illness to have and more awareness needs to be made.

I’ve suffered from this. I can recommend you to a great TH-camr who’s video helped me nearly get over this. If you’d like.
S3dG3i3, in fact, I’d say I’m completely over this. Sure I still get thoughts, but they hardly ever cause me anxiety for over a second or too. My anxiety was having schizophrenia lol.
Just look up mark freeman. And take his advice extremely serious. If you’re determined enough you’ll overcome it. I guarantee it
@@Ace-ps8mw Can you describe your experience? I have OCD too :)
Hope Shines, So after this I kinda went into a state of deep depression for constantly being in fear of losing my mind, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t focus in school. My grades dropped severely, and all I can ever think about was me having schizophrenia, and me obsessing over it. I’d constantly, think about it, and tell myself I’m okay. But it only made it worse. Nobody else could tell there was anything wrong with me though, but in my head it was a constant battle with myself. So I began researching and eventually learned it was something called “Pure-OCD” and I also learned you can completely over come this if you’re determined enough too. So I learned techniques to help improve my mental health, and to not feed into the anxiety. And what helped me the most is actually a simple answer.
One of the conditions that can lead to misdiagnosis with schizophrenia that you failed to mention is autism. I have Asperger's syndrome, something I learned three years ago after having been followed for more than forty years by a misdiagnosis of schizophrenia. Yes, I have sensory problems, yes, I'm nobody's social butterfly, but the only time I've ever hallucinated was when I had a high fever as a little girl. I might see the world a bit differently from most people, but I now perceive it as a gift. There's a distinct danger in the way that far too many people want to paste a psychiatric label on some things that they cannot categorize as neatly as they'd like. It cost me the prime of my life.
If you don’t mind me asking did you experience delusions? If you didn’t experience hallucinations or delusions than whoever diagnosed you with schizophrenia is extremely incompetent.
I see a lot of people with schizophrenia in my job and my heart goes out to these people. Horrible illness.
I was diagnosed. Day's that led up to the realization I had it really were torture. Thrown into an asylum but survived and now living my life. It's something else when you have auditory hallucinations.
It’s really hard to live in society with schizophrenia, no one will understand what goes on in my mind but thank you for trying to explain and help others like me.❤️👽❤️

Hello! Im 13 and got diagnosed with skizophrenia at age 12, but I've had it since i was little, i hallucinate and hear voices often, and have periods in my life where i believe that im the main character in a movie or game, i would also often talk to the "audience" like they where there, by the way if anybody has any questions about my skizophrenia feel free to ask!
Very sad. I had episodes when I was 18 about 3 months after my birthday. But it wasn't schizophrenia. It was caused by medication. I have an amazing doctor who listened, understood, and took action immediately. I was not diagnosed but I think I have a little bit of understanding of it. But for all of you with it. I am so truly sorry, it absolutely breaks my heart to see you going though that. My best friends mom had it and she ended up so bad that she didn't even recognize her own son. He got kicked out. Soon after she killed herself with a knife. It's very heart breaking to me if you have this illness. I'm very sorry if you do.
Wow! This is incredibly sad. For those who suffer from this, I hope and pray that you receive the help and support you rightfully deserve.
The idea that this can just occur scares me. My aunt had some form of psychosis, she would frequently lash out against my family members and one day, she just left the family. We have no idea where she went or what she's doing now. The irony is that she studied psychology
Vincent Van Gogh didn't cut off his whole ear because of an argument. He liked a girl whose ear was misformed, so to make her feel less alone he cut off a part of his ear and sent it to her to show his empathy. He was really kind, although it was a weird action.
It's also speculated that he was shot by children and took the fault which the evidence seems more likely than him shooting himself.
Dude, it’s all the way opposite. He lost his ear due a fight, so he made up the story that he liked a girl and cut it because of her.
good thing he didnt cut off something else and sent it to her

I have a friend who experiences terrifying hallucinations (organs, gore, bugs, maggots, disgusting things basically) when she's off of her medication. She knows that they're not real but is mortified, etc. There was a time in her life where she fell into a deep state of depression and actually lashed out at me for trying to help her. People nowadays think that it's cool to hallucinate. Shame.
I hope she's okay

I love how this is broke down completely to explain the whole entire dilemma of this that everyone is suffering with secretly deep down or without even knowing or ever knowing.😄😋
i have heard of a woman that heard voices giving her encouragement and self confidence.
i know this is not the norm
That must be awesome!
There can be positive voices, but mostly they are negative. They can get worse as you get older and it can be more difficult to brush them off as the years go on. I have it. Therapy and medication is the best route to go, believe me. At 26, I had a constant hallucination of an evil woman telling me to crash the car and that was last year. I ignored the hallucination, but it was distracting and dangerous
I suffered an episode of depression psychosis, where I started seeing and hearing a big humanoid being. It mostly gave me advice. But problem was, if I didn't listen to it it tended to get angry, which prompted me to get help.
My best friend has schizophrenia, she is not even 20 yet...she had many other illnesses and her home life is poor. The things she sees tend to be violent or with a dark mood. She taught herself to cope by drawing the things she saw, gave the things personalities, even made friends with them in order to not feel afraid. She is very brave and is fighting hard to cope. Most people have given up on trying to be friends because they aren't able to understand what she's going through and tell her to "Get over it they aren't real". Her parents are very religious and no longer take her to therapy, since she is still a minor she can't do anything. Thank you for spreading awareness about this, to help people understand this condition.
My dad was paranoid schizophrenic. He was nasty at times and it was hard to b around him and the things he would say were heartbreaking. He had a calmer side too and he would call me when he was drinking and call me baby or he said he knew I would make him feel better. It was a difficult life for sure.
Hallucinations and dreams are the same thing, your unconscious thoughts being interpreted through your sensory cortices. The difference is when there's 'leakage', the dreaming continues when you're awake. We need our unconscious to affect our interpretations of things we see when we're awake so that we can note similarities of experiences, but when 'affect' becomes 'overwhelm' you're hallucinating.
Wow this is a different opinion. I sometimes wish my hallucinations were a dream. It just seems so real.
Thanks for your input doc. Pretty sure it's worse than just dreams being pushed in real life
I watched a documentary in it it says that the brain when dreaming is similar to psychosis and that when you dream it’s a mini psychosis so what your saying makes sense from that angle
I’ve always been fascinated by schizophrenia, I’ve even dove down and tried to replicate those unique hallucinations with weird drugs, ( drugs that make you have nasty and scary hallucinations and voices) and yet I’ve only gotten a taste of what these people are going through
I started showing numerous symptoms of schizophrenia after a traumatic series of events in my early and mid 20s. They are mild, and I am aware that most of the time when I am perceiving or thinking of something wrong. However... That wrongness can be overwhelming at times...
I did discover that certain foods can help suppress the symptoms, such as dark chocolate. Whereas fish seems to amplify the symptoms.
I fear, one day, that I will become the old homeless man that screams and yells and hits himself while gathering cans...
One of the worst parts about having schizophrenia is that you FEEL crazy

Schizophrenia runs in my family. My great grandmother and great aunt (her daughter) both have it. My grandmother and mother don't have it but my sister and I deal with depression and have both attempted suicide and have self harmed at different parts of our lives. I'm 24 and I often worry about me going to a head doctor because i'm afraid they will diagnose me as schizophrenic. I don't hallucinate but I often have conversations with myself and my emotions can become really overwhelming to handle so I have frequent panick/anxiety attacks. I appreciate this video for not dehumanizing that population and I feel a little bit better about it

My cousin had his 3rd episode yesterday but I still don’t know if he’s barely developing schizophrenia or if it’s bad depression
One thing is that he knows he’s having an episode but he obviously doesn’t know he hallucinates and becomes delusional he also says he feels itchy and that someone is spying on him but one is that he still loves to play sports and hasn’t lost interest so I’m lost
Saying people spying on him sounds like paranoid schizophrenia. That is a common symptom.
There’s a form of depression that leads to psychosis. I was in the same position. I thought I might have been schizophrenic. I did some research and found out that there is a form of depression that shares signs of psychosis and can be confused with schizophrenia. Look it up. I was relieved when I found this out. I am on medication now and I am better. I am glad it was depression induced and not anything else.
Hi, I'm not diagnosed, but I had the same experience as you, I thought that someone on youtube with a channel named FBI was spying on me so, I fight with him a lot, just because I watched a video saying about fbi stuff and after that I start to overthink ☹☹

If I hear someone calling my name, I will know it is fake. The last thing I want is others around me and get confused as to what is real and what is not real. I simplified things by deleting everyone in my life 8 August 2000. I am very lucky I work completely alone and never interact with anybody. This keeps things extremely stable.

Yea same but i feel like it might worsen the years later on in my life.
Not all schizophrenics hallucinate
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at about 21. I was diagnosed with OCD before that. I take medications twice a day. I used to think undercover cops were after me. Now my symptoms are lesser. I also take only one shower every 7-14 days.
Whoa, similar situation.
I think it's important to mention that there are different kinds of schizophrenia
Very true. I have Schizophrenia, but I've never had the kind where I thought that aliens were communicating with me or used technology on me to hear antennas or whatever. Or that I have powers and can see through walls. There are people like that.
My hallucinations happen during bad episodes and they tend to be dead females. One woman that has Schizophrenia says that her hallucinations are of Pennywise and giant spiders, so it all varies from person to person and there's different stages too
Schizophrenia can happen to anybody at any time. You can't be too careful. Cheers!

I actually looked back in time and went through memories of my sister becoming wierd and showing more and more of those symptomes. Nobody suspected anything till she had a psychotic epizode. That illnes is terrible and going through all of the memories of it taking her away I cried.
I’ve heard different reasons for why Van Gogh lost part of his ear and his death. For the ear, I heard he lost it in a misguided attempt to duel someone over a woman, but had the true reason covered up for years. As to his death, I heard that he may have been accidentally shot while painting in that field by a young man, and forgave the kid with his dying breath. Not sure if any of that is true, but it’s what I heard. 🤷🏼♂️
My uncle died a week ago of a heart attack & he was young like in his late 40s early 50s & he had schizophrenia
One of my friends has a bf with schizophrenia as well, he has learned to live with it without medicine. I don't know how severe it is or used to be but he was commited to a mental institution for some time before he met her (he was released when they met). I heard that he can sometimes see things that aren't there but just ignores them. When you meet him you'll have no idea he has that diagnosis.
So yeah, they can definitely live pretty much normal lives and aren't just "crazy". He has 2 kids now and they are going to get married :)
Likewise, I too had schizophrenia, was committed, and now get by just fine without medications (all of which have ridiculous long-term side effects and limited proof of their efficacy). Better than medication, I think a clean, healthy lifestyle is so much better at counter-acting schizophrenia (nutritious food, daily exercise, eight hours' nightly rest, elimination of stressors, honest communication with trusted friends.) And learn to think critically - a skill that should be taught in school.
What a scary thing for someone to deal with. It honestly seems worst than most physical illnesses.
My dad began a pretty bad psychotic break in 2015 and is finally taking his medication as of last year. He isn’t the same but I’m happy he’s able to live a somewhat normal life now.
My aunt has it and I ve been having suttle signs of hallucinations for 3 months now, it's mostly barely noticeable most of the time but I had a couple of vivid times where I heard my name or saw 2 shadow men beside my bed looking me in the eye and didn't dissappear until I turned my head away and turned back I'm scared and I ve made it a point to make the most of my life rn since my risk of having it in the future is increasing every time I hear smth and it happens and average of once to twice in a stressful week .
Usually on the tv when a person has to make a choice they show an angel and demon who try to influence the person. I guess it shows having a conscience. Is that normal?
It is possible that Gauguin choped of the ear of Van Gogh. I have read some studies where it is indicated, but not proved (like any other thesis about that event), that Gauguin, who was very skilled with the sword, could have choped an ear during the fight, when Van Gogh snapped (had an episode). In letters it is mentioned 'You are silent, so I will be" and it may reffer to this fight, since Gauguin would be placed in a cell otherwise.
My mom had it. l don't wish this disease on anybody. lts awful. Pray for the families with a love one with it.
