- Educational interview of a schizophrenic patient.
Canadian Medical Association Journal - Schizophrenia: Simple-type Deteriorated-1951; Sound; B & W; 11 minutes - Can Med Assoc J. 1959 September 15
I found it on archive.org and I have slightly improved its audio.
Everyone saying they wish they could hug her or visit her...you do know that there are many people like this in hospitals right NOW that would love a visitor.
Thank you Ken.
PREACH!!!!!!! Thousands of them!!!
I'd buy you a beer any day good sir.
@@klantifashakur9894 Ha thanks.
@Jerry Dalrymple Bring me some pears and a few balloons
"inappropriate emotion"
"Smiling when asked about loneliness"
This doctor will go crazy if he lived in 2019.
That's what I was thinking. That POOR woman.
"no real plans for the future" !!!!! hahaha half of the population does not have real plans for the future
What is normal today was then crazy yesterday. Psychiatry is based on hype. Lol
Yeah I know, it's like if he was describing everyday life nowadays, maybe actual diagnosis are going to sound like this a few years from now, it's the path of madness, it's the path of life you know?
🤣
Considering the era this was made, this psychiatrist is very kind and patient. Much more understanding than others I've seen from the time.
Exactly my thoughts, what a kind man.
Yea. On camera.
@@MiddlePath33 thank you for pointing that out. Another example of this are residential school videos from the same time in Canada.
@@MiddlePath33 actually he is credited for being a very kind doctor who helped a lot of people
@@MiddlePath33 google Heinz E. Lehmann
I have to pause, not even two minutes in. She’s been in this institution for 10
YEARS and thinks it’s been 14 months?...???????
Well, schizophrenia can do that to you.
One of the symptoms consist of losing track of time
I might have missed something but I thought 10 years was how long she's had the illness, not how long she had been hospitalized.
@@dixonpinfold2582 i also thought that
@@dixonpinfold2582 that’s what i thought
She was so happy when he asked if she wanted to get a coffee. Such a sweet soul
I noticed that. The little things that make us happy and mean so much. 😢
She was sweet.
I get happy when asked if I want coffee 😊. She was very sweet. See now when I think of schizophrenia I wouldn’t think it would look like this. I wonder if she is still alive today and how she is doing
This was in 1951.
That’s because coffee has caffeine and the caffeine helps a schizophrenic feel better, I realized this because my sister says it provides dopamine and a schizophrenic craves dopamine; so much that it causes psychosis. Very sad stuff.
When he asked her what she'd do with $100.000 she didn't even think twice before giving it all away to the hospital. What a beautiful woman. I hope she lived a happy life
2:43:''I wasnt happy when they brought in the radio.The world was more quiet without it".This speaks for itself.
heartbreaking comment
She’s exactly where she should be safe from people and people are safe from her!
As a psychiatrist, you're an idiot.and i wish you gain more intelligence and empathy. You're a deluded fool. @@capitolahale1736

“My head has never been free of people talking.” That has to be torture, honestly. I feel so sad for her. I wonder how she turned out, if she ever got better.
Matt C likely she did not and passed away in the asylum
It's no wonder she craved the quiet.
I don't have schizophrenia but I suffered from PTSD for 5 years. After the trauma that caused it my brain never turned off. There was always doubt and my internal voice that was constantly there. Even in my sleep my mind was constantly going observing any and every sound. It was a miserable and dark time, but thankfully I was able to get help. Now everything is quiet for 2 years I have enjoyed peace and quiet. I sometimes get up early just to have quiet time, bc my mom is the total opposite. As soon as she wakes up she turns on tvs and radios bc it reminds her of when she was growing up there was always noise in their big family. My heart goes out to anyone having to deal with this. It's nerve-wrecking, but people manage to soldier on through it. But when they do have a break through they appreciate silence and the things most of us take for granted.
@Jonathan Davis how is schizophrenia a gift? Just curious of your logic
@J A C wth does "get off my hind legs" mean? Never heard that before
I was diagnosed with schizoaffective bipolar type, anxiety, panic disorder, and borderline personality disorder. My life is hell. I dont work, I didnt go to college, my brain has blocked out so much of trauma from the past. Ive almost been hospitalized but I really dont want to leave the people who love me so im just in therapy and taking medicines for my disorders. I have a lot of support from my boyfriend and family though. Im 22 ive been dealing with my mental health since 14 years old. Its been a hard 8 years and im worried about whats gonna happen in the future but for now idk
Update: I'm 24, off all medicines, have a great job working with animals, and was able to work through a lot of that with the therapy and some self help techniques too. Thank you to all the people leaving sweet comments though! I really appreciate the kindness!! 🫶
Imm in similar condition for the last 5 years...... Cant eat, cant work...being put on anti psychotic and anti depressants.....all I do is listen to music and sleep....... The future scares the shit out of me whenever I think about it .
I have schizoaffective bipolar type, borderline personality disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, complex PTSD and probable autism as well as chronic illnesses. I understand.
sending you an virtual hug 🍀
Oh sweet baby, I can do nothing but pray for you and I will pray for you starting now. Much Love to you!!
@@ametrineambrosia4929 Hang in there sweet baby. Praying for you starting now!
I find it so heart wrenching that she wanted a visitor and got a million of them, but the one million came a half a century too late.
Yea. If hevean is real, I hope she knows we love her
This really hurts
This was so deep and so devastating
💔
Woah.
My Nan had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar, she was hospitalised in and out throughout her life, I’ve been bawling my eyes out at this vid as this sweet soul reminds me of her. So kind and pure hearted, my Nan had a lot of childhood trauma.. including sexual abuse, being raised in the foster system she didn’t have a solid family unit. She was taken away from her birth parents before the age of 2, split up from all her siblings. She was incredibly misunderstood, sensitive and felt alone. She passed away in February 2019 and I had a psychotic episode myself in which I felt her spirit with me, I too have my own struggles.. I miss her dearly 💓
I'm sorry for your loss, darling. My Nan was one of my favorite people. Though she had her struggles, too. Take care ❤.
I miss my Nan 😞 ❤
Thats a fantastic story,,very insightful. 💯👍
Thank you, for sharing the memory of your nana. Sending loving hugs to you. 💐💚
Not sure if you're interested but I've been gaining insight free at home with Prof Sam Vaknin's TH-cam 👍🏻🍀☮️💖
My mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia.....she died in 2011.....I am now 62....when she died I was with her........I was torn between sorrow of her death and happy that her torturous life was finally over....looking back on her life the signs were apparent even as a child. Her mother who I loved dearly was a high society lady who never accepted her daughter's lack of measuring up. When my mother got glasses as a child her mother cried. Growing up as a child all seemed normal. Then when I was about 10 years old I witnessed things that now looking back were signs that things were not right with her. Listening to sad music and crying...not normal. Several things happened later that impacted my life when both my parents were drunk were torturous.....when they built a brand new house (every married couple's dream) we moved into the new house. I found it odd that boxes were never unpacked. When my father left it was just my brother and I. My mother would lay on the couch and stare at the walls smoking cigarettes with the ash tray over flowing on the floor. If there is a hell on earth this was it...I lived it....I could not take it anymore and moved in with my father. Over the years my mother was a terrible alcoholic....I had to take her to the hospital multiple times...her room was covered in empty beer cans and the closet had a large moving box with empty bottles of Jack Daniels whiskey bottles.....she almost died once and they had to pump her stomach....she ended up in a psychiatric hospital......later she moved into a cabin my uncle owned....then she went to the nursing home where she lived the rest of her life. I would visit her.....I never stopped seeing my mother. She had once told me I was the best thing that ever happened to her.....my point is that I always loved my mother in spite of what she was and had been. All of this made my life more difficult than most but I over came and I have lived a good life in spite of all this.
i have same story and understand you, its very hard to see as a child. thank you for a comment.
My deep respects. Thanks you for your inspiring words! I have a schizophrenic brother, I will never stop loving him despite all the pain. My goal is to be able to say one day that I overcame all the trouble and that my life was a good life.
Life is not easy!
You’re magnificent!
Yes you were definitely the best thing that ever happened to her’ ❤🙏🌹

It's an artefact of someone having applied digital noise reduction to the audio of the film - I wish they hadn't. A lot of the woman's voice has been scraped away in the process and we're left with all this weird dead silence, chopped off reverb and warbly background noise.

I was crushed when she said "I was wishing I had some visitors" then realized we all visited her, all 200,000 of us. Thank you Vera...
EvoPortal Dang... Hit me right in the feels with that one...
Psychiatric institutions are not for the faint-hearted. My (former) stepdaughter turned up at my door one day in an appalling mental state. She is schizophrenic (delusional and suicidal) and on this occasion, about as far out of reality as its possible to get. A few days later I had her sent to such a place. Her parents and siblings would not even discuss her. Already looking after my autistic son, I felt I was able to cope. I was wrong. It's a full-time job with 24/24 supervision.
The first few visits were quiet enough for me. Not sure she was even aware that I was there. Then, as my face became familiar to others, they started to introduce themselves. The visits were regular and it got to the point where I was almost mobbed. There were one or two that I would not turn my back on but, as a rule, they were friendly enough. Visitors were rare for all of them. I would get requests for chocolate, biscuits and other stuff. Curiously, it was always stuff they could get easily enough in the hospital. I often wondered if the loneliness was causing more damage than their vulnerability would on the outside. Not really, none would have survived long.
The films and the media give the impression that these people are very manipulative (some are). In reality, most are very vulnerable and easily led.
The areas I visited were for the 'safer' and less erratic patients. I didn't get to see the others but, I heard them. It's very disturbing.
God bless you and your family
@@owllord3346 aw, shaddup, Dr. FeelGood.
EvoPortal this isn’t a visit. We’re just watching a video of her.
My brother has schizophrenia and my father had mental issues .
I feel for people that have them and wish society was a bit more understanding .
When I was at work the other day the conversation was about mental illness .
I said that everyone suffers from mental problems one time or another but the sad thing is they don't talk about it but keep it hidden and bottled up.
You could hear a pin drop , the silence spoke volumes.
It's a shame that even in the 21st century it has a massive stigma .
i think so many people think that its a choice to be crazy like a personality flaw instead of seeing that people are inflicted by literal brain damage, especially from vaccines
@opalallen2066 I really feel for you. That is awful to suffer for such a long time. Sometimes I wonder if mental health could also be a genetic problem. It's quite surprising how it seems to trickle down some generations. Either way, I so wish there was more help out there for anyone suffering.
Also I wish you well , though I don't know you personally. I really do mean that. Take care 😉
It has a stigma because we're all secretly afraid of getting this illness.
yes
@@fenlandhobbit2307 Yes, there is a large genetic component to mental illness.
He has such a calming demeanor to him, and his gazes feel very relaxed- he was meant for a therapeutic-like job
"They take away my talking"
"I don't pay any attention to what they say"
"My head goes up there when I'm quiet"
Really makes you think huh.
Her cables are crossed, the voices she hears is a horrific symptom.
When my meditating was at it's longest like 10- 18 hours a day for 10 days. You're body reaches for the mind and the mind is detached. At this point I realized I could see the shape of thoughts as they came in my body and I could identify other realms of space. With that said your experience is limited by your minds imagination. So all that I've seen might have been real but only through my limited tools of the human imagination. But once the mind leaves the body . The talking can come from anywhere. Most people already talk to themselves all-day. If they for even a second thought that voice wasn't there own . Good luck.
@@RMunoz-te7jc would love to know if LSD or any psychedelics can help schizophrenia?
@@RMunoz-te7jc I'm a random 15y/o girl but I find your comment very interesting. I get lost in my head a lot, so much I might've fallen into a depression again. I have so many thoughts and they're all so confusing to me. Because I see my thoughts as me. Where else would they come from? But then I feel like myself and my thoughts seem to be coming from somewhere I can't really explain. I feel a lot as well. I feel very deeply and honest. Maybe everyone feels the same way and I just focus a lot on it. Maybe I feel more intense than most people. Either way it's a struggle for me sometimes. And my many thoughts and many feelings together are just so overwhelming. I've tried meditating before and I really love it. I like to go to this place up in my mind and everything is light there. Its hard to stay there but I think I can learn how to do that. Tbh idk why I'm telling you all this. Maybe I hope someone finally explains how my mind works. Maybe I just wanna hear that I'm not stupid. Idk. Thank you for reading all this, sorry if it doesn't make any sense.
@@RMunoz-te7jc You meditate for 10-18 hours a day for 10 days???
when things get loud she probably cant tell if the sounds are real or not
i have schyzophrenia and this is a thing i don't feel like a lot of people talk about. when i'm in a loud enviroment, i start to feel anxious and panicky because i can't tell what's real and what's not
@@alternativebat8251 I have schizoeffective PTSD and I get this too
@@Mars_Among_Stars I have this real question. Please don't be offended but, how do you realised that you have schizophrenia ? How do you know that the hallucinations were not real ? Is it the same way when we wake up from dreams ? Are those hallucinations same like lucid dreams ? When you were typing your comment, do you actually get to know what are you typing ? Is it similar to dreaming one time and simultaneously imagining other dreams ? When you are exposed to the word schizophrenia or related terms, do you get hallucinations, just like we get nostalgic when we see something that triggers our memories, or do you have that ability to think about your condition ?
Please answer only if you are comfortable with it.
Pranit Pawar it feels different.
I hear things (not voices) and in a quiet place I can feel the difference until I’ve been alone for too long then it gets annoying and scary. When you’re around ppl you can see if someone else reacted to what you hear. It’s nice to have a dog around, they look to sounds... until your brain makes you see the dog when he’s not there and then That reacts to the sound and that’s more frightening.
But I don’t know what I have. I haven’t seen a doctor about it and don’t think I will
@@pranit_33xa91 it's different for everyone as other people experience things differently and can have different symptoms. but for example it's easier to be around people because you can see who reacts to the sound or i usually ask other people if they saw or heard what i saw/heard. it's scary when i have to walk home at night because i see shadows and i sometimes even see people, i get the feeling someone is following me and i hear sounds like someone walking or as if somebody is talking and that can make me go into a panic state and i usually end up crying and getting a anxiety attack
My boyfriend has this type of schizophrenia and it’s heartbreaking to see him struggle. His behaviour is similar to what is described in the video and since I struggle with mental illness myself it’s hard to fully realise what this condition is doing to him. I will often take it personally and it makes everything a little harder for the both of us… seeing a loved on struggle and withdraw themselves from reality and wanting to push you away is hard. I can’t quite imagine what he’s going through but I always try to be understanding and respectful even tho I am suffering too. I wish he wouldn’t be living with this condition, for the sake of his own happiness. Everyday things are incredibly hard for him, let alone having a relationship.
I have been with him for 3 years be I still don’t quite know how to handle some situations but the best I can do is be there for him as good as I can, even tho it can hurt a lot.
If you (or someone you know) can see/hear spirits, you are NOT alone or CRAZY ! Unless you had a serious head injury or dose on illegal drugs regularly. You are like me a person with a third eye/ear capability. We represent about 10% of humanity. I was Paranoid Schizophrenic for sometime too. I did the meds and therapies too, but there seem to be no end/final cure. So I did my own research. BTW, I am a Civil Engineer with a highly analytical mind. Once I knew the REAL reason (Spirits) I was set FREE ! I even turned the tables on the evil spirits. I TORMENTED them with Worship Songs, Quoted Holy Scripture to them. Even called them names and mocked them. It drove them away. The spirits would come back a few days later but I gave them the SAME treatment. Eventually they gave up. I've been meds free for the last 16 years now. The spirits no longer bother me, because I'm NO LONGER FUN to torment. The spirits prefer SCARED & CONFUSED victims. So Im sharing my experience and insights.
You can get schizophrenia from various reasons like a serious head injury, regular use of illegal drugs, practice of black magic, or traumatic events like rape, bullying, rejection, total isolation, death of a loved one or near-death experience. Anything that seriously WEAKENS your body, EMBITTERS your soul, and affects your FAITH in God, also WEAKENS your protective spiritual AURA and allows the evil spirits to communicate with you. You can pick RANDOM evil spirits from morgue, cemeteries, hospitals, asylums, jails, dungeons, and abandoned houses and isolated forests.
Our physical and spirit worlds exists in parallel dimensions, separated by force fields. The spirits can see/hear us, we can't see/hear them NORMALLY. Spirits communicate by MENTAL TELEPATHY ( mind to mind ) that's why ONLY you can see or hear them. That's why the spirits can also READ YOUR MIND/THOUGHTS ! You can also secretly TALK/SHOUT to them by TELEPATHY - in the presence of other people. No one will notice & think you're CRAZY ! Ive done this a few times & forced the spirits away.
Spirits can also DISTORT human speech. For example if your friend says " Hello, What's Up ? " it will sound like " You're UGLY & STUPID ! " and so you'll get ANGRY. That's how spirits make you PARANOID & anti-social. The speech DISTORTION happens only a few SECONDS ! The speakers face suddenly changes to an UGLY facial expression ! The Spirits TRUE FACE shows like a dwarf or leprechaun ! Then the face reverts back to normal and the speaker is NOT even aware of what happened. He'll wonder why you're angry at him ! I've seen this many times !!
The evil spirits want to isolate you socially. You're their TOY ! Some spirits can also SHAPE SHIFT - appear in ANY form (animal or people). They can IMITATE other peoples LOOKS/VOICES and pretend like real people. Spirits can also produce SOUNDS like knocking on doors, footsteps, crying or screaming people, scratching on walls, police sirens, barking dogs etc. Their plan is to scare and ISOLATE you socially .. for themselves. Make people think you're CRAZY .. even if you re NOT. Resist them, Don't give up .. or you're really gonna end up crazy. Remember this, its NOT you but THEM (spirits) that's causing this. Fight them, mock them, EXORCISE them out of your house/life... eventually they'll give up and leave. .
I hope she had a good life after this interview. She looked so kind and sounded so sweet.
"lack of ambition and initiatives, no real plans for the future" literally everyone going trough 2020

I love how this guy invited the girl for a cup of coffee at the end of the interview. Like he wanted to make her happy by doing this. And I think he actually succeded. It warms my heart.
@@gw437 I think that the way he's behaving may seem cold and emotionless to people nowadays. But the times he lived in were way different from now. From what I know, back then it was normal to act so professional and cold.
@G W Oh man, it's awful to me when people criticize ones like you. I'm glad you are aware that being reserved is not a bad thing, hope you stay who you truly are :).
Cheek clapper for sure
Yeah av read about german doctors been the gold standed back then.
@@tanpadeusz1951 also I think he is giving clean straight questions to get her to talk for the experiment
One of my family members have schizophrenia. She was in and out of institutions for 10 years until she found a good church. They are very supportive, visit her frequently, involve her in things, love her the way she is and encourage her to take her medicine. She is so much better and haven't been hospitalized for 4 years.
So it has little to do with church, and only having a social support network.
@@Uhlbelk Church is a social support network. It has everything to do with it.
This is encouraging ❤
I had a lot of trouble understanding what she was saying,
and then it dawned upon me.
I too, speak this way, meek, quiet full of fear, sensations of my surroundings blasting my ears.
Anxieties and paranoia bouncing around in my brain.
My own voice was always too loud for me to hear when I spoke.
People have always said they couldn't hear me, due to my quiet voice.
This video reflected it back at me.
And with her demeanor etc, I understood.
And it made me want to cry.
She’s so fragile. It breaks my heart when she gets her hopes up with the possibility that she may have a visitor if she is “good.”
when she said music is the best thing she was absolutely right
Birdsong dancing water the wind over meadows stiring trees .The less of these the less one see's .
Amen to that!
Yep!! I felt that
Nietzsche said "Without MUSIC life would be a MISTAKE!!"
Unless it is Sydney Devine love sick blues. Still recovering.
72 years ago. The dear soul was so lonely. It's heartbreaking to know that comforting her is impossible after all the years past. God bless her.
My heart breaks for this woman. Truly. I wish her the peace she seeks.
Even though she's unwell, she's still such a sweet lady.
I was recently diagnosed with Schizophrenia and I can understand her so much. I really hope she got better and lived a long, happy life. ❤️

Thanks, Dr. Lehmann for helping get well all those years ago. You were a great human being.

I noticed at the start of the video that she didn't seem interested in talking, But eventually she was talking fine. The way she stood up happily when asked to go out with him for a cup of coffee. Man.. that was beautiful
She has a very sweet voice
Michele Ellis she sounds English I think...perhaps a ‘war bride’.
Sort of reminds me of Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby. Just the way she talks, I mean.
She is just a very sensitive soul.
I have a family member with schizophrenia, and she also has a sweet and gentle voice, very much like this. It bothers me when people say violent criminals are ''schizo'' or ''crazy.'' Real schizophrenic people are like this lady.
She really does. I was gonna comment but I see I wasn't the only one thinking that.
I think she is very beautiful.. He did not acknowledge her willingness or her kindness. When he asked her what if she had a hundred thousand dollars, she offered to give it to the hospital,and loves the piano.
Videos like this really are a gem, so glad it was preserved.

“I wish I had a visitor”
I started crying immediately. I don’t know if tears have ever welled up in my eyes so quickly. Especially after she says her family hasn’t come in a long time. Likely one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard.
You're such a sweet soul.
Back in that time mental illness was sweep under the rug...her family probably just dropped her off and never gave a thought to her.

The Spirits TRUE FACE shows like a dwarf or leprechaun ! Then the face reverts back to normal and the speaker is NOT even aware of what happened. He'll wonder why you're angry at him ! I've seen this many times !!
The evil spirits want to isolate you socially. You're their TOY ! Some spirits can also SHAPE SHIFT - appear in ANY form (animal or people). They can IMITATE other peoples LOOKS/VOICES and pretend like real people. Spirits can also produce SOUNDS like knocking on doors, footsteps, crying or screaming people, scratching on walls, police sirens, barking dogs etc. Their plan is to scare and ISOLATE you socially .. for themselves. Make people think you're CRAZY .. even if you re NOT. Resist them, Don't give up .. or you're really gonna end up crazy. Remember this, its NOT you but THEM (spirits) that's causing this. Fight them, mock them, EXORCISE them out of your house/life... eventually they'll give up and leave. .
Her voice is so soft... I would tell her that. If someone ever got her to sing, I bet it was one of the most beautiful sounds on the planet
He's so gentle in the way he talks to her. So approachable and seeking to understand. If only more people approached schizophrenics so kindly and seeking to understand.
I once had a girlfriend who i later found had serious mental problems. I recognize in this video that my gf could enter a similar state but also at other time act totally normally and nobody would know. I believe that in the presented state (which is permanent for the subject in the video) she recedes to a very young memory of herself, a time when life had not yet hurt her profoundly so that she could feel intact even if that means being a 6 year old shy child psychologically which is the mental state of the woman in the video. I think schizophrenia has nothing to do with being crazy, it's about protecting whatever is left of her own self representation to cope with living. The reason for the damaged self representation is usually the hardest to find but more often than not tied to a trauma that occured in childhood that left a blank in the personality. Later in life if additional stress and bereavement is added, that black hole in the self representation might grow and become a dominant part or problem which is when the name schizophrenia is given. But really it is just normal coping of the mind with very challenging episodes in life that can no longer be remedied, so the individual find ways around it that to us look like they are crazy but we would do the same if we had gone through their lives. Back to my gf, i eventually had to break up when it became clear she had no wish for and probably was not fit to raise a child. And that was no easy way out, it was a real reason. That said, it is wrong to look at people with mental problems to be simply personification of something bad, they're just struggling with a life that you may not be able to cope with if it was yours or maybe would do exactly what they are doing. The problem is they can not be functional in society. Love and understanding are always beneficial and some therapy can improve the mental stability. Some people are functional schizophrenics who know of their condition but are able to not let it interfere with interaction with others. Though usually their partner if they have one would know.
He seemed rather condescending to me. She looked uncomfortable with him and told him what he wanted to hear so she could leave.
@@melvinmcdougal6226 Sounds like every doctor visit ever. He's trying to get as much information as possible, and I don't sense any condescending attitude from him at all.
@@melvinmcdougal6226 he’s being professional, not condescending
"you must be feeling very lonesome" doesn't sound very gentle to me. It's literally like pushing that idea on the patient and like in a way forcing them to accept what they said. The word 'must' isn't the right word here. He only said "are you?" later. And you can clearly see her reaction after that sentence or question. She hesitantly said "yes" and started smiling, which indicates that she's trying to avoid any danger or punishment and just surrendering by agreeing or accepting what she thought they wanted her to do. I agree that he was gentle when compared to many others.
She seems like such a gentle soul.
medication will do that
That was a very soft interview, so many opportunities were missed. I'm glad we have evolved in our understanding and treatment of this menacing disease.
He is so gentle and sweet. Honestly the way he treats and speaks to her is so lovely.
She's ever so sweet, so much going on in her head ❤
When talking about a visit her eyes lite up and that smile was raising. Such a lovely soul

I was thinking the same thing. I love her voice. :)
@@thebluestplanet6768 lol u have no f***** idea how hard most Familys try to fight and struggle when there is someone in the family With mental illness , yet u say ,its her family that is ill. .....most familys, Living with ppl that are mentally ill, try there best to be there for them, meaning its almost a fulltime job thats hard to do. Im sick of ppl blaming others....u got no clue
She couldve been a beautiful singer
@@alletbanane I totally agree with u. So sick of people always trying to take the moral highground.
She sounds like shes from an upper class family or very well educated, possibly also from here in South East England, my nan sounded just the same as her it's uncanny the resemblance in her accent
She is more polite than most "sane" people
Mental illness, especially schizophrenia, is so heartbreaking. It robs potentially great people of a normal life and turns their minds against them. I wish there was a cure … just from listening to this woman, I can tell she had a good heart, but probably never got to experience a normal life because of her illness. It fucking sucks. The more I learn about illnesses like this, the more I realize I’ve taken taken for granted in life. Just being able to have a normal conversation with someone is a blessing.
When I was much younger I suffered a nervous breakdown brought on by stress of a very high pressure career, I remember in the weeks leading up to and after I collapsed hating the sound of talking especially on the radio. To me it felt like pressure in my head and I understand what this poor lady was going through. Like her I loved to listen to music, it distracted from the constant worry but always without spoke words.
She really is adorable. I just want to give her a hug and protect her.
She certainly could use reinforcement that her character is correct.
However, in a normal environment she may be easily unbalanced and confused, and respond inappropriately under everyday pressure. It's not so simple, and she probably does need medical care.
Well shes dead already.you can go to grave and tell her that.
I see a sweet but extremely depressed lady. The drugs they were giving her were probably causing schizophrenia symptoms.
nice gams she has. would bang
big ditto
She looked good for 40. I hope her life turned out ok.

As with the majority of these cases, these folks aren’t really being rehabilitated, they’re moreso just being made comfortable. Thankfully, modern medicine and therapeutics have made indefinite hospital stays less necessary for people with a variety of mental disorders.
What a kind individual. How sad they were unable to help her.
The doctors voice is very soothing, love to listen to him!
That glance straight into the camera was painful.
It was. Like we were violating her dignity or something.
Yes I detected fear when she looked at the cam .She seemed to smile as if she was being reassured ,A guardian catching her when she began to fall.I wonder as to how she was treated by those around her on the outside , before she enters the hospital .Iv seen bad things happen in one of those places here in the UK .As a patient ,some staff where I she'll say ,should never have been alowd .One flew over types.
She did right after being asked about what the voices were saying. I think she felt the question was way too personal.
She seems like such a sweet soul. 😔
Most schizophrenics are! They just have been beat down by society and so called loved ones that they start developing this hereditary brain malfunction, it’s sort of like PTSD.
It’s fake!!

Fascinating, these old clips are really interesting. What springs out for me is how quietly spoken, and how polite the young people are
She seems lovely. Too soft for this rotten world.
I totally agree, she's beautifully compelling
:)
And beautiful
Lisa Yu amen!
She does look a little 'disturbed', but could be really attractive-great cheekbones, interesting eyes (with more sleep and some make up), her features are symmetrical, and off a few glimpses, a pretty smile. Sad she couldn't be together enough to be happy, or share a life making someone else happy.
she looks so tired, i hope she’s peacefully resting now :(
Tired in the sense 😭
I think that it's just the flat affect!! Flat affect means that you don't express any emotion, even if you feel it!! Very common in schizophrenia!! I think that it was just emotional indifference!!
I'm so thankful for all of these videos. I learn a lot from it even as a psychiatrist. Thank you.
That broke my heart when he asked her about her family visiting. I hope they treated her well at the hospital and she had somewhat of a normal life.
She just needed a friend ☹️
I love how this comment section is so kind, specially considering that mentally ill people are still treated like monsters on this century... makes me feel hopeful.
yes
She had friends! She said that she talked to them every day.
@Invi Sible Exactly my thoughts!
@@invisible3972 Yes its so sad that society is still ignorant towards mental Illness
The way she paused and stared at the ground when the interviewer asked if she thinks she'll have a visitor soon was just heartbreaking
I am so thankful that we’re able to watch these and learn through them.
Sad and fascinating. We have come so far in understanding people and treating mental health in more compassionate, wise ways. This serves as a tender, heartbreaking reminder.
Ngl it killed me when she said she hasnt had any visitors, then she smiles like she remembers a time from her past of her family or just happy memories, obviously i could be wrong but thats what i got from it
This exact type of thing still goes on today. How many times/ways is going to ask/state she is lonely? I think I would have smiled or laughed at that point and not explained 'why' out of politeness. It was apparent & Rude he was trying to EVOKE an emotion. He then has the gull to 'TELL' her.. You Like It Here At The Hospital.. Don't You'. WTF End of video he states Her reaction isn't normal? Nothing has changed in 100 yrs
My mom had the same illness she passed away, she reminds me of her so much couldn’t finish watching it cause started crying miss her 💔
i’m sorry for you🖤
So sorry dear. It’s tough to lose your mother and it’s tough when they have a mental illness and you have to watch them suffer as you do knowing you can’t help them get well. God bless everyone hurting tonight. May God bring better days ahead.

Reference taken
She smiles at him and he does not reciprocate. You can get crazy by talking to someone like that.
Piastun I was sectioned under the mental health act for self harm, I have never had a history of psychosis. At the end of my visit I was psychotic but I hid it. It truly does make you insane talking to doctors who don't give a shit and never smile.
Piastun: If you're a weak person you can.
@@achosenvessel6563 ****if you're a vulnerable person you can.
She seems well adjusted but if anything she is off the scale introverted. She wants to be around people and wants the love and affection she gets from other people, but doesn't know how to interact with them.
Adding to the analytical nature of the interviewer which is basically unnatural in the conversation he's creating. It's scrutinizing, and nobody would feel joy or enthusiasm responding to that.
He seems so kind and gentle. ❤
What a sweet soul she was, she just wanted people to visit her and talk quietly with.
She’s so soft spoken, like Marilyn Monroe. Guess most women spoke in this manner back then
I think they had to they didn't have much control over themselves they weren't allowed to
@@bigmommymilkersdommymommy6607 I think it’s just because how they were raised back then with the whole stereotype of staying home cooking dinner and knitting/sewing luckily it isn’t the same these days
@EM theres nothing wrong with it if they choose to live that lifestyle, its just it was pushed onto women to act that way. it was forced. and now women have more freedom and arent forced to be submissive
@EM you're saying that because you live in the generation where women have rights, stfu
@EM mane stfu have you ever touched a history book???
It's very sad.. she seems such a nice, kind and intelligent human being : /
I believe that most people diagnosed with "mental illness" are people that have been profoundly abused and/or neglected and it is just the mind's way of surviving. A simple act of kindness brought her to life. That speaks volumes.
I’m bipolar and was never abused or neglected
I thought so too with this lady. Why would the voices stay in your head and not in the real world? MAYBE CAUSE there's just too much cornering isolationism and ignoring all along....
She's so gentle and sweet, and I wish I could be more like that.
Whos here after eve's and jane, and that glowy dude
Me too ! :)
Me too I am stuck on this topic I have been doing a full research on the topic for the Entire day
Me 😊. Some urge got me through them, her and the next. Felt the need to learn more about their condition.
I just watched that man.He was so intelligent. My grandmother was schizophrenic n they used to give her electric shock therapy. Its my dads mom n he used to say it made her act almost catatonic.They had her in so many different, horrendous places.She passed five years ago,bout a year after they finally got her on the right meds.I never got to know her so I am interested in schizophrenia. Its so sad and a lot of the meds make their conditions worse.This interviewer n the one who interviewed the guy both seemed uncaring and ignorant .I really hope these people had some happiness in their lives before passing.Its heartbreaking.
Me.
Remember how blessed you are , life could always be worst, I send my love to anyone suffering through this
Grateful! Always mate. Cheers

Her body language when she got up, so respectful.
@Mihaela M. your mom gey
Was she hurted to much from her family, or?
@Dx Fire right, even the loonies of old have more class than those of today.. men and women both, of course. It's a degenerate society we live in
@Dx Fire I'm threatening you.
The moment where she goes silent and seems distressed and says "In my head I'm dead...my head goes up there, when I'm quiet..." is heartbreaking. You can tell she's struggling to make sense of a chaotic and terrifying internal experience that neither science nor society had words for.
aren't we all going through that tho,, does anyone really know what or who they are,,isn't everything confusing,,nothing seems to make sense ,,the so called doctors seem like the crazy ones,,
It always sounds to me like she's saying, "Is my head up there? Is my head up there? My head goes up/down when I'm quiet". It doesn't make any sense, but then it wouldn't. :-/
well said
Demonic possession.
THIS
We can heal the world by recognizing she is in her own imagination, the multiple “voices” which act as protectors and guides, some led by fear some led by love. I agree 100% she smiles as a coping mechanism. I have strange triggers I’m overcoming from my childhood trauma that I do because the uncomfortable memories going from nice mom to really scary mom. I would switch to an energy more acceptable by my mom, this helped me survive criticism, judgment, anger, neglect etc. this helped me feel “normal” I disassociate just as this gentle woman does, I space out in my own imagination because this world is too loud. This “disorder” or disease is more sane to me than believing there is only 1 voice in your head and you prefer me to act more like you to make you feel more comfortable disregarding how I feel. She seems fine to me besides a tremendous amount of her life being told she wasn’t which made her question her power.
Beautifully explained!
❤❤❤
Schizophrenia is like an extreme form of openmindedness. Your mind/consciousness is so abnormally open that reality itself becomes less material and more fluid - similar to being on mushrooms. This kind of openness correlates with high creativity because a lot more novel ideas are floating into your field of consciousness. But your mind is so open that these ideas literally start to morph your material world. A coffee table could start talking to you and giving you novel ideas. The trade-off is that your mind is less buttoned-up, so it literally starts to feel like you're going insane.
wow! How interestingly said!
Her excitement when he said lets grab coffee
HER VOICE SOUNDS LIKE A DISNEY CHARACTER
Reminds of the momma cat from The Aristcats
I think the Aristocats mom voice was zsa zsa Gabor (sp)
My grandmother was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was on regular medication. There were days that she needed attention all day and night. She never shared whats going on in her head, except the help from doctor she got. There are no other health issues. Finally passed away few months ago. Miss her singing for us before going to bed. Mental illness cant be ignored. Hope no one goes through it.🙏
How old was she when she got diagnosed? I think my childhood friend has it.
@@anaoviedo2336 in her 50's. Do pay attention to your friend. May not come forward to accept help. But slowly try to make her talk out what's she thinking all time. Give her time and take care.
If you (or someone you know) can see/hear spirits, you are NOT alone or CRAZY ! Unless you had a serious head injury or dose on illegal drugs regularly. You are like me a person with a third eye/ear capability. We represent about 10% of humanity. I was Paranoid Schizophrenic for sometime too. I did the meds and therapies too, but there seem to be no end/final cure. So I did my own research. BTW, I am a Civil Engineer with a highly analytical mind. Once I knew the REAL reason (Spirits) I was set FREE ! I even turned the tables on the evil spirits. I TORMENTED them with Worship Songs, Quoted Holy Scripture to them. Even called them names and mocked them. It drove them away. The spirits would come back a few days later but I gave them the SAME treatment. Eventually they gave up. I've been meds free for the last 16 years now. The spirits no longer bother me, because I'm NO LONGER FUN to torment. The spirits prefer SCARED & CONFUSED victims. So Im sharing my experience and insights.
You can get schizophrenia from various reasons like a serious head injury, regular use of illegal drugs, practice of black magic, or traumatic events like rape, bullying, rejection, total isolation, death of a loved one or near-death experience. Anything that seriously WEAKENS your body, EMBITTERS your soul, and affects your FAITH in God, also WEAKENS your protective spiritual AURA and allows the evil spirits to communicate with you. You can pick RANDOM evil spirits from morgue, cemeteries, hospitals, asylums, jails, dungeons, and abandoned houses and isolated forests.
Our physical and spirit worlds exists in parallel dimensions, separated by force fields. The spirits can see/hear us, we can't see/hear them NORMALLY. Spirits communicate by MENTAL TELEPATHY ( mind to mind ) that's why ONLY you can see or hear them. That's why the spirits can also READ YOUR MIND/THOUGHTS ! You can also secretly TALK/SHOUT to them by TELEPATHY - in the presence of other people. No one will notice & think you're CRAZY ! Ive done this a few times & forced the spirits away.
Spirits can also DISTORT human speech. For example if your friend says " Hello, What's Up ? " it will sound like " You're UGLY & STUPID ! " and so you'll get ANGRY. That's how spirits make you PARANOID & anti-social. The speech DISTORTION happens only a few SECONDS ! The speakers face suddenly changes to an UGLY facial expression ! The Spirits TRUE FACE shows like a dwarf or leprechaun ! Then the face reverts back to normal and the speaker is NOT even aware of what happened. He'll wonder why you're angry at him !
