I've suffered from schizophrenia for the past 32 years. It has wrecked havoc with just about every facit of my life. I cant tell you enough how this illness feels. It is deceitful and very tricky to figure out. I studied psychology in college so I may have some more incite then others. It needs to be understood and not judged. Society is finally starting ti recognized that we are not responsible for inheriting this genetic illness. It is not our fault! Schizophrenics are incredibly smart, geniuses. When well treated, they can excel
It can be brain parasites, and simple herbs like tyme, sage, cloves and rosemary and parsley help so much.
Doesn't add medicine or anti anxiety such as a low MG of xanax reduce the panic and anxiety and help keep someone more mentally stabilized? In their head? If your levels are balanced?
@@carolharquail9131why do you say this? Asking because … I’m not schizophrenic but lived with a shaman in Boulder and am Mayan so that’s normal stuff to me and sometimes am a bit clairvoyant … and I kept like … as an analogy… hearing and seeing the mindless chatter of mites or bugs in my possibly former partners brain (I had to ask him to go stay with his family for a while and idk if he wants to come back )… so I’m not saying I thought they were there or that I think I can read peoples minds I just intuit analogies sometimes and have like medical intuitive things that are accurate … but I didn’t know how to tell them
Aby history of brain injury, car accidents, concussions?
Understood and not judged. Well said.
My brother is schizophrenic. I wanted to watch your video but the music underneath was too distracting for me so I had to move onto other videos. Just letting you know because just talking about schizophrenia is interesting enough you don’t really need music.
Yes, I also found the info good but the music very distracting.
@@BecPlumbe Thank you for the input. We've discussed this with our producer. Keep the comments coming! We appreciate your engagement with us.
Same same, I want to watch the video but almost can’t handle the music. I’m going to see how much I can get through before it fully drives me nuts.
@@elleobrien3219 Yeah, again, sorry about that. Our producers are aware and hopefully you'll be able to gain some benefit from the video despite the background music. Appreciate the comment.
@@BecPlumbe I really enjoyed the music.
Maybe coming at this from the completely wrong 'angle' - it was only briefly touched on, but early childhood traumatic events have a huge lifelong impact on how life maps out. Unfortunately 'big pharma' funds/pushes all of this about 'disorders' - perhaps instead of what's wrong with a person, we should be asking 'what happened to you'?
Will you tell me about you? You're right, these are the types of questions to be asked.
@@askthebraindoctorI am 65 years old and have ‘been through the system’ many, many times - too many!
My story is horrendous child abuse: psychological neglect/abuse, physical violent abuse, rape, verbal abuse, gaslighting, the list goes on!
This, is all from what were supposed to be ‘parents’!
This vastly impacted my whole life; I couldn’t, and still cant cope with everyday‘normal’ life, I find it way too overpowering and dangerous.
It’s like if I were to write a book about my life (which I would like to) it would seem too far fetched and macabre - what I’ve been through is way beyond what the human brain/psycho-system is ‘meant’ to experience!
My experience of the ‘mental health’ system here in the UK is a completely broken and corrupt atrocity!
I cant speak for the US, but heard similar stories.
The people, like the 21 year old case study in your video wouldn’t be referred to a neurologist, he’d be referred to a psychiatrist, and this is where the corruption comes in, this is where ‘big pharma’ comes in;
check out this video if you’re interested.
th-cam.com/video/-Nd40Uy6tbQ/w-d-xo.html
No psychiatrist is in the least bit interested in the ‘person’ presenting to them - as was pointed out in your video, ‘these symptoms have to have been present in the last week’! That’s all they’re interested in.
They don’t speak to you as a person, they’re speaking ‘over’, ‘beyond’ the actual person sitting in his/her office - they are seeking out ‘disorders’!
No matter how much is known about the human brain; what part does this function - what part does that function - there is absolutely no mention of the ‘owner’ of said brain!
In fact, I’m not sure just how much is really known about the brain - ‘they’ don’t even know ‘what’ it is, is it an organ or is it a gland??
I’ve had a lifetime of psychiatrists trying to prescribe this SSRI, that SSRI - even a ‘cocktail’ of the bloody things! I tried once or twice for few days, and I can say those things really can screw you up! (as mentioned in the video)
I’ve been ‘diagnosed’ with a litany of ‘disorders’!
Anytime I’ve tried to describe my life, was like trying to describe ‘rocket science’!
In fact the last psychiatrist I ‘saw’ actually admitted he knew nothing about child abuse!??
Mental health system is going about this completely wrong!
The question should always be asked ‘what happened to you’?
I know there are thousands of people out there on cocktails of these drugs for years and years with toxic side effects, obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, stroke, early onset dementia, and probably a lot more.
As you said, the life expectancy of someone diagnosed with schizophrenia is reduced by 20 years! Could this be down to the toxic drugs??
Could a psychosis be down to some early childhood trauma that got dissociated for years and a ‘trigger’ set off a ‘tilt’?? brain can’t deal with this?
Somehow I never became psychotic, never got sectioned, just stayed alive, not living a ‘normal life’ but just about surviving, even with the constant flashbacks and intrusive memories.
In the last few years I have been seeing a trauma counsellor.
I suffer from ‘developmental trauma’! Not a disorder - a result!!
As soon you get past the victim blamers and shamers. I know a schizophrenic that is one of those. Trying to get her to reconsider some things is very difficult.
@@askthebraindoctorI believe we could benefit in all areas of neuroscience if we take a multifaceted approach to integrating developmental psychology and medicine. It would certainly be enough to fairly clarify the underlying misconceptions that cause controversy and stigmas to form around these topics, and those they are commonly associated with. It may even put a dent in our collective understanding of consciousness. I would appreciate any opportunity to collaborate on that project, as a polymath born of two bipolar parents.
Well,that may be a question to help with diagnosis,emdr,or talk therapy,but I'm not sure how that relates to the action of pharmaceuticals on the brain.
How does this not have more likes? This is by far the best video on schizophrenia I have ever seen. I learned a lot! I normally just hear the same old information that you can get from Mayo Clinic or WebMD. This video is truly above and beyond.

Schizophrenics are creative if you been in hospital you know schizophrenia can also be destructive
I too agree....some psychiatrist expert in AH lab podcast didn't make sense to me but this doc has. Thank you.
Because humans only want to like and comment on crap
It might be the overlaid music. I appreciated the content, but did not like or subscribe, and I just realized the reason that I did not like nor subscribe was that the music completely threw me from my "normal" routine of Liking and Subscribing when a video has been informative or when a video has been entertaining
I'm on a waitlist to get mine treated without meds. The new stuff they're researching aims more toward a cure now! I'm so excited. Clinics are using medical keto,neurofeedback, biofeedback, TCMS, deep brain stimulation, ketamine infusions, and some others I can't remember. They're finally treating it like a whole body dysfunction.
We're really excited and happy for you and hope for the absolute best outcome! Thank you for watching and commenting. Keep us posted on how things go!
Hi @blackswan1983 can you share where the waitlist is? I have someone that could be interested, thank you!
Please share more info...I'm Reading Brain energy
There’s a girl on YT that’s doing a medical keto treatment for SZA and it is working for her
Can you provide more info or links on the topics you mentioned
All of the things you addressed are side effects and symptoms rather than the cause of schizophrenia. The eye movements are also a symptom that's a result of the state of the "fight or flight" mindset. The root cause is the belief in many things that aren't true that conflict with the conscience. This results in the exaggerated dilation of the eyes, yet another extreme symptom.
My son who overdosed 8 months ago got schizophrenia from canabis. I cannot believe they’ve legalized it with how bad my son was. He then tried every drug available and we think he may have died of fentanyl. I’m in NY and it took 7 months for the tox screen to be completed due to the backlog because of the amount of overdoses happening right now.
I had no idea I could have tested him for schizophrenia. I also had no idea it could be triggered by canabis. We knew the drugs may have triggered his illness but we didn’t know for sure.
Thank you for putting this together. People need to know.
We are so sorry to hear about your son. We are praying for you and your family. Hopefully we are able; and you are as well, to teach people the truth, based in real knowledge. Sadly, you now also have "lived experience" which often transforms knowledge into wisdom. . .
Stay strong. We appreciate you being so open and commenting. Let us know if you have other questions or how we may be able to help.
Sorry truly about your son, but it wasn't the canibis.
@@rileyhoffman6629 Since you literally can't spell cannabis, I'm guessing your only qualification is being off your face.
@@rileyhoffman6629 Sadly, it was. Its called canabis psychosis. Some people, those predisposed, have a 40% increased chance of developing schizophrenia or have a psychotic episode should they ingest THC. You don't have to believe me, google it.
I’m so sorry for your loss and for the loss your son suffered in his brief life. My son is very sick but I have been powerless to intervene.
This has to be the most thoroughest explanation for the laymen’s , thank you
Yes the most thoroughest , irregardless , shouldof been saw by the most people .
@@michaelblankenau6598 I agree
@@michaelblankenau6598 Thank you. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Extremely informative! My niece has shcizophrenia that started when she was 24. I know its because of trauma as a child from her mom. And also possibly from losing her Dad when she was 13. She is on medication and doing ok.
Sorry to hear that, but glad he is doing ok. Keep encouraging her! We appreciate you watching, subscribing, sharing, and for the comments.
Its about time they admitted that schizophrenia is not a genetic disorder. It is an epigenetic disorders caused by zinc deficiency during pregnancy. The recency theory by profs hare and fuller torrey is correct as proven by the sunspot theory of schozophrenia.
My adopted brother lost hid Dad, his rock, at 9. I believe that the loss of a parent is a major reason for this happening, and he felt alone. I believe that I too just kinda died inside because our mother was just scared. I understand, but I saw her fall apart.. I stopped having a relationship with her. At 7. Because she just checked out, and I became the scapegoat. All this confusion does get created when you sense that nobody cares about you. A child has to be able to have a safe base, a tribe to cover them on every single level. Fear destroys life. And all you gotta do is communicate how you feel as a child. But some people just arent equipped to handle those icky feelings. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Listen to your children and give a damm. If you can.
I dated a girl who was schizophrenic. She was a good friend. She was reasonably normal (nobody goes through life without scars ). She had 2 episodes (departures from reality) in the 20 years that I knew her. The one thing that I did see in her was that she did not have really deep emotions.
Yeah, thank you for sharing that.
It's interesting how the "scars of life" as you put it, affect people in such a myriad of ways and how the brain and our conscious and subconscious mind determines to react and reflect its understanding on our life moving forward.
I'm sure she appreciated your good friendship and caring kindness.
Thank you for commenting. Appreciate you.
The most complete and comprehensive video on this subject i have ever seen. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and learn with us. We appreciate the comment and will keep working to provide true, accurate, and up-to-date knowledge. Any particular topic you'd like our next video to be about?
You killed your podcast with that racing & annoying background 'noise' right from the start! Ciao!
Right! We've discussed this with the producer. Appreciate the comment.
Your discussion is profoundly resonant and helpful. I am heartbroken over my daughters battle with this cruel disease. 💜🌻💜🌻💜🌻💜🌻💜🌻💜🌻💜🌻💜
Hang in there. We know what you all are going through.
I started hearing voices at 3 years of age and my version of the illness chaged whe I was 9. I became paranoid, it felt like I was drowning in quicksand. After that I thought if my mind can change to that then maybe I could change it back. I decided to fight the illness and everything I was delusional or paranoid I told myself it wasn't true. After 50 0dd years of doing that my illness has improved.
Strong mind!
Best video ever on the topic. It answer my many questions in a very clear way. Thank you
Thank you for the kind comment. We truly appreciate it.
Happened to my brother at the age of seventeen back in the sixties. He had the eye movement pattern that the doctor mentioned. He died at 38 years old in Austin state hospital 😢 He went through hell…shock treatments and lots of different medications. He didn’t get the correct treatment and the disease rapidly progressed.
That's just horrible. So sorry to hear about your brother and everything he went through. Hopefully with these videos more people will be aware and familiar with what is happening to their loved ones and they can then get the care and treatment they so desperately deserve.
Appreciate you sharing and commenting on this. Thank you.
I was prescribed Zoloft for depression weeks prior to learning I had conceived in 1995. I asked my obstetrician if I should immediately d/c because of risk to my child and was told to continue as prescribed. My son developed schizophrenia late teens/early 20’s. Behaviors began years prior to formal diagnosis. I have been wracked with guilt ever since. I’m curious what research is available regarding in-utero exposure to ssi’s and SSRI’s. IMO, these medications are and have been widely overprescribed in the US. Are we now witnessing the ramifications of that with the current epidemic of mental health cases?
You ask such great questions and in some circumstances the environmental exposures we face while in the womb can affect our development. I'm sorry about the deep guilt and pain you feel and hope that you are able to feel forgiveness and understanding for yourself as you heal and continue to love your son.
We are working on a depression as well as an SSRI video and because of your comment, we'll include some in-utero exposure research.
Thank you for watching, for the comments, and we hope you continue to enjoy the channel.
Correlation is not causality. You've done nothing wrong.
@@lbburgett thank you for your support. I pray the answers will be made clear to us.
Very good information on the symptoms that present for schizophrenia. I’m looking forward to seeing more on the best therapies for living the best life possible with this life-long disease. My mother, and now my son. I have more info than I wish I did. God bless you for your hard work. Thank you
I was raised by a Schizophrenic mother, untreated with meds, it was a living hell as I remember the terrible screams and fighting from the time I was a toddler. My Mother finished her tortured life at the age of 84, in locked Alzheimer's ward. There was so much, anger, sadness and depression growing up in a home with all of this going on, with no sign of my mother's disease being corrected, cured or managed in anyway. It took me years to come to grips with my anger, and depression. My grandfather was 15 years older than my grandmother, and my grandfather died when my mother was 17years old, just a small clue, one factor as to why my mother and her brother developed schizophrenia. I wish the scientists, doctors could come up with a cure, but because of the brain complexity of not developing normally, may mean that they will never find a cure, other than identifying risk factors and avoid giving birth.
Man, that is rough. Seriously. Talk about resilience! Thank you for watching. Thank you for commenting. Stay Strong. Don’t lose hope. We can find a pathway to help, healing, prevention, and a cure.
Yes my son has all of these, he is 38 now, his problem started 3 yrs ago, like it happened overnight.
Sorry to hear that Debbie. Hopefully he is doing well and you are able to find some satisfying answers and treatment for him. Hopefully, this video may have helped with a little understanding and/or knowledge.
Oh shoot! Got jabbed with something?
Look into thiamine and mental health
@@BonnieM93maybe you are paranoid….maybe you have schizophrenia.
Same here, my son is 37 & has had schiz since his late teens.
The icd 10/11 is a better diagnostic tool than the dsm 5. The dsm 5 needs to be exchanged for something better.
Oh my gosh!!! Thank you so much! El video más claro y especifico que pude encontrar
Thank you. Really appreciate it! Let us know if there's a topic you're interested in.
What causes decrease in grey matter? Anti depressants and antipsychotics believe me I’ve fully researched all those drugs since the horrific abuse I endured in a ‘hospital’ did you do those checks in that guy yourself the brain scans or are you going on that hypothesis taught to you without doing any fmri brain scan & without doing all the medical checks necessary? I’m really interested to find out because the first thing we do in veterinary practice when we see serious changes and aggression in animals is run a series of checks for medical issues and toxicology ehich the medical community do not seem to do for humans!
Grief, ya. . . human health care should never be second rate to animal care and each case should be vetted thoroughly and as reasonably comprehensively as possible.
Wheres the committee that decides reality correctness in psychology, an outgrowth of the prison industry
What about someone who's just became aware of there own subvocalizations and it caused a feedback loop of traumatizing auditory memories that just play over and over. That's how it started for me my left ear was bothering me and I was focusing on my left ear then I heared my own subconscious internal dialog for the first time and then I had a mental break down it was like angels fighting with demons and arguing back and forth. Then I started focusing on other people and realized that if you listen carefully and started noticing in a group setting that everyone talks under there breath while there thinking of language then I became aware that that gut feeling is a subconscious cue based off of barely audable subvocalizations that subconsciously render in our minds and because of that I got paranoid and would worry that people would get the wrong impression of me. Three years later from this break through experience now I can't be around people anymore.
very good indeed, I learned a lot, thank you!
I learned what a bridge looks like when it collapses. Dramatic video image. Dramatizes the purported terrible effect of using cannabis once. Has nothing whatsoever to do with human health. Remember the "this is your brain on drugs" public service advertisement? Whether or not cannabis use can actually trigger schizophrenia. the fact that the idiot in the video resorts to showing us video of a collapsing bridge, tells us that he is not trying to educate us; he is trying to propagandize us. Scam artist.
Thank your for watching and for the comment. Let us know any other topics you're interested in!
Brilliant summary of this terrible illness, which has several types of presentations. As a mother of a son who was diagnosed, a couple years after his first presentation, i lived thru the horror of how this can present. I became a mental health nurse to better understand. He was absolutely tormented and i found the psych services slow to intervene. Anti psychotics may not be perfect, but he can now live in his skin without the torment. Im reluctant to interfere with that, even though i fully support alternative treatments. I wouldn't want him to be put thru any more trauma while giving these a try.
Wow! Truly amazing to care for and love someone so completely to become something for them. Thank you. May you and your Son continue to love and learn and grow and heal. Inspiring. Thank you.
This video was Extremely helpful Thank you so much ❤
Thank you Tatunisia. We appreciate you watching and the comment. Let us know of other topics you're interested in.

Sorry to hear about your experience. We hope the absolute best for you and value you and your interaction with the channel. Thank you for the comments.
I don't drive a car because of my psychosis and my inability to use my vision and recollection correctly. My mother wants me to be bi polar, it seems it is a better illness in her opinion but I am textbook schizophrenic though I have mood swings occasionally, I am schizo affected bi polar type and I am participating in treatment. A thing I experience that is disheartening is a lack of self to the point of losing awareness. How can I enjoy something if there is no "I" to enjoy it?
I see you. I hear you. What a tough challenge you've been given. Hopefully you see the luck and blessing of family and promise in good treatment.
"How can I enjoy something if there is no 'I' to enjoy it?" Well, if there is one thing I've learned its that those who lose themselves completely in the service of others, find themselves completely. We gain self confidence from those we serve. Serve from the heart, love others into your life, strengthen those around you, and be patient on your path.
We appreciate you and hope you continue to enjoy the content and engage with us.
Pruned nerves doesn’t explain the common themes with those diagnosed. Witches, demons, shadows, and others. How can you explain that?
That's your biased perspective. You are probably a Westerner, correct? I know many schizophrenic people, non of them believe in witches and Demond and.sny of that shit.. they do think people can read their minds and see though them, but not Demond and witches.
Exactly. All these theories miss the point of the need for a brain - simulating reality. Schizophrenia is not something that is constantly generated as a state of mind because of some faulty chemistry, as every other mental illness, schizophrenia symptoms are modes of pattern recognition, thought and physiological responses carved in a moment of extreme pressure. I akin the process of mental problems development to the development of rare minerals - extreme pressures in specific conditions lead to diamonds for example. Even after the conditions to form the diamond are gone, the diamond still exists.
That is the big erroneous thinking behind schizophrenia, that the schizophrenic brain is somewhat different, though we still couldn't prove how. I argue this is because it isn't different in the present day, but it WAS taken to it's mental extremes some point in the past, and when the reality deciding neural algorithms collapsed their function for the day, it generated problematic variables for the future mind's eye generating mechanisms of the self.
@@TheDude-w5l This is an incredibly insight and intriguing perspective. I truly appreciate these and other comments similar to this. This has value. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
@@askthebraindoctor thank you soooo much! It means a lot to me, believe me! I've seen some nurses at a psychiatric hospital in Romania explaining to some young guy, while presenting the treatment plan, that he will be given higher doses of medications because he also used drugs before and he's 'used to it'. Zero sense!
Right? I've met people who are being sent the same shorter term themes and similar overall long term beliefs. I don't believe in free will and I feel my body moving on its own separately from me. Other people don't believe in free will and don't experience this. A lot of the people I've come across have had a lot of the same experiences but believe we have free will in the moment. I met my polar opposite the other day who is in a reality where everything is random and we are completely free. It's like there is an overarching theme that stays long term, many monthly or weekly themes that pop up over time, and they bounce from person to person back and forth, spread out over a lifetime, ect. I feel my thumb moving on its own right now.
As far back as 50 years ago, there was evidence that a sub group of those diagnosed with schizophrenia had improved symptoms with, shockingly, a gluten free diet! Having read some research papers on this and the neurological affects gluten can cause more generally, I'm nonlonger surprised by the findings but I understand others are when they hear this fact.
Diet plays a foundationally HUGE role in our overall and neurological health.
Please share how to fix or help it. What treatments are effective, etc
You got it!
Treatments are such a difficult thing to discuss on a generalized public platform as we have been strongly discouraged from giving specific treatment recommendations and doing so misses out on the personal nuances of peoples health care (side effects, reactions, medhx, famhx, comorbidities etc. etc.
We can get something in the works though.
Thank you for the suggestion!
An excellent teaching! Well done easy to understand. Thank you so much.
Well thank you for the kind and enthusiastic comment. We appreciate it.
Thank you!
It would be great if next you could share treatment options and how they work. Thank you for this informative video.

@@askthebraindoctor that’s ok I just wanted to add , no need to credit .
I git diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 30. I think I was depressed and traumatized, drugs and alcohol didnt help either, as brownies and MDMA also made me hallucinate. I cant tell if some events in my life ever happened as I remember.
But Id rether have the positive effects than the negative ones. I rather have hallucinations than the anhedonia, depression and lack of passion and motivation. I often feel like a shell of who im supposed to be and I cant fix it.

You explained that efficiently. Now how does one recieve healing
Thank you for watching and for the video!
It is a fine line to tread on suggesting definitive treatment and healing pathways to the general public over a video platform. While we would love to help ALL heal from every ailment in a format such as this we suggest seeking professional and expert, experienced medial and mental health care along with supportive social environments and interactions.
We will look into doing a video on treatment options and pathways. Thank you so much for your comment.
Psycho-Electronic weapons attackers like to tell victims that they are the FBI or the CIA. Victims are dialed up and monitored for months before the voice communications are used on them. Targeted Individuals.
Nonsense. Schizophrenia has been around long through human history.
Well before anyone knew of tinfoil hats.
I used to believe i was a targeted individual. Then i got on antipsychotics, and it turns out i had paranoid schizophrenia all along. It was all imaginary. I've spent 2 years with the targeted individual delusion. Wasted 2 years of my life on a delusion.
"voice to the skull" and common pesticides products are also causing weakness, mental symptoms suggesting mental illness when it is from being literally poisoned. It seems air born etc to be attached to certain DNA or the user of such poisons is very low awareness or comprehensive skills due to many variables...often people who speak about abuses or malpractice etc are certainly targeted. Solutions organic grass fed meat, vegetables, fruit and honey. Buy local think global. Anyway not going to watch all this. See also lead in brains. Never in time of history have people been so low in intelligence. That is why embracing marginalised status is understandable eg high IQ only hand full every thousand. Organic home garden. Oh and for anyone wanting to understand how we got so sick see "Dr Mary's Monkey ". Descending and trying to improve each day. A marathon. Cannabis/hemp $$$ has been a big win. Not liking this data. For one Gmo and additional additives cause issues not a herb garden. Excuse errors. But this data is not going to be revolutionary. Thanks for your comment.

Why is the music soooo loud
I know right. We have discussed this with our producer. Thank you for watching and for the comment.
Yeah the music is distracting but the content is interesting. However the person I know with Schizophrenia like symptoms had his first episode after someone put what may have been scopalamine in his face about 2 weeks after his last mj use. Also, it is possible lsd was put in his coffee by a co-worker more than once.
The first episode was severe, but he git 9ver it in about a month . For 6 months he seemed completely cured then he had a relapse every sic monts for the past 4 years now, so serious he is a danger to himself and possibly to others fir 5 days to a month each time he has an episode. Plus, the hospital overdosed him and mixed drugs wrong so he now can not walk at all due to avascular necrosis that is very painful.
almost certainly

Excellent intro understanding. I do not want to diagnose others but there is one isolated person I know that I have big concerns about. I will do the best I can to get them to seek professional help.
That’s good of you to do . The problem is that those who have the condition often don’t have the awareness that anything is wrong with them and will often think those trying to help are against them .

We hope for the best for your friend and that as you delicately and with love discuss this with them we hope they are receptive and are able to seek some good help.
Appreciate you.
Wow thanks Doc that was so informative ... I can relate with all the symptoms I'm sad that our eyes only opened now all along we were exploring other routes that didn't make much improvement like the symptoms have been there forever but out of exhaustion we ended up getting so used to them not knowing that the condition was worsening and now I feel so helpless because my sister has always opened up to me but I guess out of misunderstanding I ended up dismissing her... I myself feel so exhausted I feel I have nothing to pour into her my cup is empty. Yesterday we went to a mental health institution because she was hallucinating, crying and shouting... They gave her meds I am skeptical because in my country I don't think mental health awareness is adequate... Please suggest on strategies to deal with this situation... More especially in a country where there aren't much interventions done on issues of mental health. Especially the not so obvious mental health issues
So sorry to hear this. It is hard. I know you guys can pull through and empty cups can become full to overflowing! What country are you in?
@@askthebraindoctorThanks for the positivity Doc. I live in Swaziland recently changed to Eswatini.

Thank you for considering a update information of the pathway and treatment suggestions
Now it starts to snow, but the air isn’t cold. You hold out your hand to catch a few specks of white as they fall. These aren’t snowflakes, this is powdered sugar! With a big grin you stick your tongue out into the air. Now I am really looking in the mirror. Before when I looked at my face in the mirror that wasn't my real face. My real face is this entire singularity of every fucking thing. This is what I am. This is God looking at God. Yeah this is what I am and I Love it.Notice that what I am is pixels on a screen. Pixels on a screen talking to you. You can notice that these pixels on a screen are actually just a fragment, a figment of your own poop. A fragment of your own poop manifesting as pixels on a screen. You are the poop speaking to itself. The poop now as it is talking is also hearing these words and becoming conscious of itself as the poop. You are the poop talking to yourself becoming conscious of yourself as the poop. The poop is reminding itself that it is the poop because the poop forgot. The poop is telling you that you are God dreaming up this life and this very moment, this room that you're sitting in that you think of as a physical room is actually a dream. Your entire life is a dream. Your childhood is a dream and the ideas you have of your death is a dream. Everything you're experiencing right now what you are is God. God talking to itself. I am you and you are me. Then I heard a new sound: a living sound, like the richest, most complex, most beautiful piece of music you've ever heard. Growing in volume as a pure white light descended, it obliterated the monotonous mechanical pounding that, seemingly for eons, had been my only company up until then. The light got closer and closer, spinning around and around and generating those filaments of pure white light that I now saw were tinged, here and there, with hints of gold.Then at the very center of the light, something else appeared. There was a wooshing sound, and in a flash I went through the opening and found myself in a completely new world. The strangest, most beautiful world I'd ever seen. Brilliant, vibrant, ecstatic, stunning . . . I was flying, passing over trees and fields, streams and waterfalls, and here and there, people. There were children, too, laughing and playing. The people sang and danced around in circles, and sometimes I'd see a dog, running and jumping among them, as full of joy as the people were. A beautiful, Incredible dream world . . .
Except it wasn't a dream.
The word real expresses something abstract, and it's frustratingly ineffective at conveying what I'm trying to describe. Imagine being a kid and going to a movie on a summer day. Maybe the movie was good, and you were entertained as you sat through it. But then the show ended, and you filed out of the theater and back into the deep, vibrant, welcoming warmth of the summer afternoon. And as the air and the sunlight hit you, you wondered why on earth you'd wasted this gorgeous day sitting in a dark theater. Multiply that feeling a thousand times, and you still won't be anywhere close to what I felt like where I was.I could hear a plane taking off kind of sound. Like a *mmmmmmm* *aaaaaaaaa*
You hear this really intense just like *wuuuu* Like this really like almost like a siren. man I got the whole *wuuu* the *gnn~oo* Also very loud, it was like *hooow* As if the sound slow down. And I heard this *zuuu* And I heard huh like a *zuuu* and it was getting louder and louder until it kind of just *pshhh* and then *prshhh* This is just like *boom boom* just like you're leaping into this fucking realm. it was like "what? what the fuck" I do remember looking at them thinking"what the fuck..."
"what the fuck?" And like when I tried to work them out that was it, it just went and then something else would be there like doing that *tututututu*
it's fucking crazy! insane, insane, it's insane. I didn't even think it was possible. This is impossible. Insane, fucking insane. And when I started like becoming more conscious I started telling everyone you guys... you guys you GUYS wow wow That seems like this all-the only thing that keeps going to your head is just wow WOW! like "this is so fucking amazing!" like "how is this even possible?!". That's wow. That was wow! WOW factor and I'm gonna be going WOW! probably every day, every single day when I think about that I'm just gonna go "wow" when you come back to real world you're like "holy fuck". What the fuck was that! What the fuck! And the feeling of "I have been here before" "I have done this before, everything is gonna be okay cause I have experienced this before". The whole thing it just feels like a massive fucking déjà vu.A person might come to the realization very suddenly and spontaneously that they're made of jello. This thought just comes to them because the unconscious has this kind of fantasy-like nature where it just kind of tests things and comes up with crazy thoughts.
There are many reports of schizophrenics coming to such beliefs that their bodies are made of glass or wood because the unconscious presents them with this idea.
The people you speak with in your dreams are very similar to the entities who speak to the schizophrenic.
Insanity is a dream which has become real.
Very often the hallucinations seemed to come from Gods, Goddesses, Angels and Demons.
Early humans were essentially all schizophrenic but as we've developed and become more sophisticated and have moved away from our natural foundations. Our egos have become stronger and we've been disconnected from the forces of the unconscious. So when they erupt forth we find it very strange, alienating and oftentimes very terrifying. However many schizophrenic patients don't experience this eruption of the unconscious all the time. Instead it seems to be triggered by episodes of psychic distress.
Nearly poetic.
Perhaps.
Glass from the way they knock on it. I’ve discovered I’m the poop within the poop. I’m the subconscious of the poop!
Some deep insights here.
This video presents a good case against evolution 😮
@romgtr,
This is a VERY intriguing insight. Will you elaborate? Curious to hear more from you.
For me it's like a memory of listening to somebody making a comment from the past and I literally reenactment that auditory memory subconsciously by making a subvocalization but it's like there is a sound board in my head of auditory memories based off of auditory associations instead of visual and when this happens my eyes dart to the left but when I focus and visualize things my eyes dart to the right but when two things that are conflicting my eyes roll but when they coincide I look down.
This is a very intriguing explanation. Have you spoken to a neurocognitive scientist about this?
Maybe the pruning forces signals to another route through the auditory and vision channels.
Hmmmm . . . I like the "maybes" of thought!
No it's not. Those are echoes of a mind's eye developed in extreme circumstances. We all have an inner world that manifests itself even in lack of stimuli, and that world is formed by echoes of previous experiences. They self calibrate though and are constantly shifting in relation to current stimuli. Schizophrenics suffer from exactly this, elements of the mind's eye and inner-world experience that developed under the unbalanced influence of a stimuli taken to it's extreme. Keep in a mind we're talking of the brain here, a stimuli is not just plain old sight and sound or touch, but the archetypal represantation buit on a collection of patterns of physical input.
That is my lay-man opinion, a guy that drives a forklift. I don't need much else to be extremely sickened of a profession that so absurdly insists on looking at faulty chemical processes or neuronal disfunction, and fail to take into account the fact that the mind is generated by everything at once- you now, just like artificial neural networks process the entire internet to make sense of something and just as the brain, they do spew up 'caca' if they get fed 'caca'.
In conclusion, focusing on faulty neurons is just like my grandma when she remarked to my grandpa : the water in the well is so high, what if it overspills with alll this rain? My grandpa replied: that doesn't happen, the entire water level of the soil has to rise for the well water to rise. If it rose to much the well water would have nowhere to get spilled, since there will already be water everywhere around here.
Excellent video
Thank you. Really appreciate it! Let us know if there's a topic you're interested in.
I hear your understanding and remember seeing what looked like microvascular ischemia even in MRIs with schizophrenia BUT I don’t hear based on the understanding of even a lack of blood flow how to heal the brain or atleast assist its healing?
Not one recommendation to assist recovery with these realizations??
How about using a little methylene blue?
Ginko biloba with green tea.
Reducing inflammation???
Can you recommend anything at all??
My wife has been suffering from symptoms.... possibly longer than I've even known her.
Started with her thinking different women were trying to steal me from her, then there was this whole deal where she thought her family way over on the other side of the country were somehow trying to.... get people over here to spy on her or mess with her, then she started thinking the government was using energy weapons on her to mess with her mind, she had this whole conspiracy thinking "they" took her uterus out when we had our 2nd and third child... and then thinking they switched our kids with someone else's, then accusing me of cheating a whole bunch throughout in which she started becoming violent.
And every time she would have these mental breaks her eyes would seem to bulge out and she'd look incredibly crazed and terrified, after apparently it ended I'd ask why she thought those things or why she acted like that and she'd always be like "I don't know" or "I thought you were doing something."
She's since been diagnosed and committed.... Me and the kids really miss her, she's been gone for going on 8 months :(
She'd also think that "people around town" or "the entire town" were trying to poison us or just her... and I'd tell her to pick some other product or one after it and I'd be like "You know if people WERE actually trying to poison you then that kind of means a lot of other people are being poisoned any time we don't end up picking whatever the thing is you think that they poisoned.... but yea that didn't help much because obviously logic doesn't help the illogical.
@@ShaggyTheClown17That sounds horrifying for both of you, and especially your kids. I hope she is able to find treatment that is successful - it's highly variable which medication helps which patient. I hope you and your kids are getting counselling too, to learn how to deal with associated emotions.
Sorry to hear this. What patience and understanding you must have, and is required to love and help and heal through this. Your family can do it!
@@margodphd Luckily they got her into a facility, she seems to be doing MUUUUUCH better now that they have her on medication, she's called a few times now and I'm planning to visit her soon, sounds almost like her old self. Not sure how long she'll be there but I know it's for the best n really glad she's not in jail anymore.
She did mention having a hallucination, seeing her parents n neither of them are with us anymore, so yea.
Wow! Do you think there will ever be a cure? I feel like with the way you’ve explained things this would most definitely be a good way to search for a cure instead of treatment options.
Yes I do, and yes I agree. Perhaps you'll contribute to research in this filed at some point! Thanks for watching and for the comment. What topic would you like to see covered next?
I think a cure is a stupid notion. Brains are here to generate reality, so as to manage your survival. Once certain pathways have been created, you can't straightened them back up, because there is NOTHING to be straightened. They are nothing but a bunch of neural networks that collapse to the most stable entropic state that leads to the desired output for survival ( so all the other pathways necessary for all the other things that you do are in relation to those also) all you can do with drugs is pressure them into some lower, simpler entropic state, more aligned to whatever the desired effect is.now, how do you even define what that is, since the toposophic landscape they have to prove themselves useful in the future will not be the same day to day?
You can't develop a cure- you decrease complexity up to a 'functioning' point and develop crotches. These are the single tools available to you. Psychedelics may work differently, by resseting the brain and giving you the option or reforming pathways from previous, higher entropic planes, but you loose crucial history in doing so, in my opinion. I think that is the reason that people on psychedelics spew out stuff like we're all one and whatnot. They get resset to origins, but lack the sophistication that years of being hurt define you as a separate individual.
In the late 1990s an Australian research paper concluded that cannabis/marijuana does not lead to schizophrenia. So that it must be caused by the abnormalities you mentioned in this lecture. Apologies as I don’t have the reference.
Greatly appreciate the comment! Thank you.
Whilst watching this content, I seem to have suffered from pronounced and highly distracting auditory hallucinations, as I seemed to be hearing a really fekin irritating and distracting sound, almost like music being played, and I am fairly sure it was an auditory hallucination, because no one in their right mind would produce scientific content involving precision and algorithm appreciation, and then put an overly load and distracting backing track over the top of it, now would they?
We totally get it and the producers have heard this comment LOUD and clear from you and many others.
I really believe that Ive always had schizophrenia but it became obvious when I abused psychedelic and illicit drugs in my late teens, early twenties.
I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully you are able to participate fully in life and are able to steer others way from illicit drug use. Appreciate you watching the channel. Please like and share with others.
What kind of neuro insult or other cause could move someone into schizophrenia between the ages of 38 and 43 if they have a genetic predisposition? This was the age of onset for someone I know.
There are many different things. Infections, drugs, significant life changes/stressors/events, or traumatic injuries. I'm sorry to hear that someone you know is dealing with this. Now is the time to support and love and encourage them. Strong work in learning from this video and engaging further via the comments. Keep learning. The knowledge will give you power to help!
Can we practice reading and problem solving to reverse the overpruning?
We highly encourage as much reading and problem solving and practicing music and social engagement as possible. However, these will not reverse pruning, but they can reinforce current cognitive pathways and help stimulate, foster and strengthen neuro connections.
Thank you for the question!
@@askthebraindoctor you're welcome.
What about deaf Schizophrenics do they hear voices I read study's that people are making subvocalizations subconsciously and are somehow able to listen to themselves at the sametime that they technically are talking.
This concept is not only intriguing but makes on think about the connection between our pre-frontal cortex and our auditory cortex. We will explore this further. Thank you.
Can G5, a military weapon, or electro magnetic have anything to do with mental problems?
Well, we sure wouldn't rule it out!
I know these symtoms and the FBI story all to well. But instead of the FBI story my delutions are of somethimg far worse out to get my family and myself.
Its the scarriest times of my life and i have nearly died many times from these phycotic breakdowns. I also have PTSD bipolar depression anxirty and panic. Its a very hatd bunch of illnesses to maintain and to keep going everyday.
Its so hard to keep up with all of these disorders. Meds, good diet,vitamins B12 and D, yogurt, low carbs, water, support sysytem and many other things like rest and sleep are key. The inly thing is slwep aids have to be a part of my life because the vouces are always there keeping me awake. We dont get much sleep because of this, the vouces keeping us up. And yes, like i saud, its very scary.
Loves to all of you wirh Schizophrenia amd the caregivers and supporters

My ex choked me, now im hearing voices, im 63 this happened 2 years ago, won't go awaymy brain was healthy until he choked me.
That’s is just horrible. So sorry. Have you been able to see a doctor and discuss this?
If you ask me the guy with his cheezy beard and wild hair looks like someone from a bad magic show. Why do people go crazy? Maybe because the world of men is crazy, and in this modern era the craziness is amplified by psychotic material on TV, radio, movies, internet/social media, and even cell phones. The cause of most mental dysfunction is excessive stress.
Thank you. Appreciate the comment and insight.
That or people memorized the repeat matrix. I can tell people what they are gonna do and say before they do and say it. I need to isoalte too. How about today? I will call the store I work at. The line doesn't work . Call the other store to see if it's there network. I was told to call into the store to get a daily schedule . But the line won't work. So I will get ready and go in like I'm scheduled AGAIN. This happened four years ago. Same exact crap. So then I go in. They say no your not working today . Call back in tomorrow to see if your working. Did I mention the app doesn't work on repeat too? Maybe the voices in the head? Is because they memorize the matrix repeat and ...get sick of it. Ya know...have to smoke pot or take pills to make crap stop. This doctor is full of crap. Probably a doctor outside of the VA too. Can I ask what meds are given to military? And medical procedures? Because they figure that out in the 1930s. And what about the doctors making money off them? Lets....really be honest. Really be honest. What about children living around the REPEAT. ? If you don't notice it? Your in a fog...a dream state. I diagnosed the person on this video having A D D. If he could go see a physician to get meds? We could all follow the medical video . Please get meds then teach
Hmmm. . . ???
Im watching this to i can direct my prayers better when praying over my diagnosed friend. This makes alot of sense! Thank you so much for doing this video!

To pathologize someone is an ideological act. You have three estates - The ruling class, the functionaries of the ruling class, and the general population. The second estate includes psychologists, because they exist to organize and perpetuate the general population in the interests of the present ruling class. We are now in a post-Feminist, post-racial equality paradigm, because of the wealth of women and non-White (non Germanic, or Celtic) people in the ruling class. So the teachers, psychologists, police etc of the second estate have adapted. And every ideological shift will disadvantage certain members of society. Now White, poor, menial working class, or lower middle class men (straight or gay) are disadvantaged - and increasingly pathologized.

Toxoplasmosis, lyme, bartonella, mold
Yup! All should be investigated and ruled out.

Do you have a video on depression. How does that happen in people.

I'm having a hard time finding any information for idd and schizophrenia. Please if anyone can point 👉 me to any information. Thanks ❤
I have a decent amount saved on my playlists. They may not all be what you are looking for
I was an RN and when studying mental health I read a research paper which stated that over time, say 20-30 years from diagnosis, brain mass reduced by up to 25%. These changes were seen on MRI scans. Also in epidemiology it follows an infectious pattern. Is this this true? If so then is schizophrenia an organic disease?
Well if you keep someone awake for more than 5 days they start to hallucinate, ask a soldier who tried hell week. They bring them on the edge of insanity on purpose to see how well they handle extreme stress and physical load whilst sleep deprived. Afterwards they get hosed of cleaned up put in a hotel and sleep it off, in order to restore them to normal extra sleep is mandatory in order to make them normal again. If normal people go to extremes they hit that limit even faster, they get an overactive brain someone with a psychosis in an fMRI scanner shows exteme activity. Now antipsychotic drugs can lower total brain activity by blocking the needed neurotransmitters or some of them in order to calm you down. They should be given in case someone goes through the roof at the lowest still effective dose, afterwards it should be lowered, more medication is not always better dosage is a very important point one does not want to craete zombies and one does not want someone to go through the roof it is a constant balancing until the right maintenance dosage is reached and the psychosis is in remission.
These are theories that might explain the why of psychosis but the thruth is we don't know exactly why, these are possible causes, but there is more to it the total amount of brain activity plays a role in psychosis, so if one is in this situation and has not been prior medicated, because the symptoms described are also side effects of medication.
www.nature.com/articles/1300710
Antipsychotics cause damage as above article states in nature medicine almost exactly what this doctor describes.
The increased ventricular space is also a result of damage done as this article in nature magazine describes.
Another note medication should be a help not a hinderance in once performance as a human.
The moral.of this story sleep is so important that one might go to use 10 mg of melatonine 20mg is the absolute maximum a human can endure during a short period in combination with sonething like promethazine can cause you to sleep better but ask a doctor about it. Since antipsychotics lower dopamine and serotine whom both play a role in production of melatonone one might want to up this normal brain substance during and .after treatment a while. Usually with a first psychosis medication is goven for a year. Do not let them bullshit you into taking it for life do taper of slowly gradually either to the lowest still effective dosage or to taking nothing whatever works best
Appreciate you sharing your thoughts and research on the subject. Hopefully, you are able to engage with the broader community of those with this illness and their families and serve and help them in their journey. Thank you for the comment.

No word about treatment and outcomes
All for another video. Hard to cover everything in one sitting that will keep most people cognitively engaged in a world where "shorts" are watched much more than in-depth explanations or discussions. Appreciate you watching and keep an eye out for when the treatment and outcomes video hits.
Don’t know how fun or cool it is regarding eye movement. 🙄But honestly the cure is not in the brain. Schizophrenia is an overall breakdown of health in the immune body causing hormonal imbalance. To prove my point…Look at why the Ketogenic diet is showing promise in resolving diabetes.
This diet works directly on the hormonal balance and is shown to be able to regulate mood and metabolism and decrease the tendency towards diabetes. Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder. Keto restores health to the body by reducing insulin through the reduction of carbs, sugars and fasting. This decreases mood fluctuations and restores the gut microbiome. A healthy microbiome is critical to health of the body and brain. Healthy body, healthy mind. What this doctor is outlining is simply the parts of the body that are affected, as well as triggers; informative but no new insights. Some people get MS, some Crohn’s disease, some Hashimoto’s or Lupus, or in the case of schizophrenia the brain goes haywire. But the same diet will cure them all. It’s in the body not the brain. And a healthy body enables someone to cope with trauma more efficiently.
“And a healthy body enables someone to cope with trauma more efficiently.” - Well said! Couldn’t agree more.
It can be spiritual.
Hmmm. . . care to elaborate a little further?

We really appreciate you watching, and for the comments.
Let us know if there's a topic you'd like us to cover.
If you get schizophrenia there's not a lot you can do about it. In fact there's no controlling it. It's a horrible condition that torments the person suffering from it 24/7. However, there is a way out and it's by ignoring and not believing in the hallucinations and delusions. The person has to completely rewire their brain by way of changing all of their habits of thought. This could take years but it works if you totally remove and separate yourself from the delusions and hallucinations. It's as if they lose interest when you ignore them and focus on reality since they no longer have control over you.
This is a very insightful comment. We appreciate you addressing the time in takes to battle through illnesses such as these and for the hope your comment provides. Thank you.
@@askthebraindoctor Thank you! I can hardly get doctors to listen so I appreciate your comment very much.
I don't know I can't stop thinking about how he said drugs have an impact and then he said you know the the subject may have tried marijuana once or twice like that's what you know was was a factor you know contributing towards this even though he just said that like the like your mind is already made for it like in the womb but no the marijuana I can't take anything he says seriously now
Sorry I used speech to text and kinda rambled saying "like" a lot. You get the big picture, no? I was enjoyed the science part.. I suppose I'll do as he suggested and watch the Marijuana video... I'm open to the fact I may be wrong that it's completely absurd to suggest smokokh Marijuana once or twice contributed to this unfortunate diagnosis
Perhaps you should consider having a more open mind on this subject and also watch the video on marijuana!
Because 8:55 i can no longer be an atheist. That would mean there are more synapses than years that have ever existed.

Lose the music track.
The truth is. I realy beleive the "halucinations" are real. But i cant figure out why..medical sciences? Spiritual warfare? Emotional and psychological imbalance? Inability to focus and be in our full mental compacity? Its a rough disorder in all stages. I am effective and so.e times, most now dormant but i been full paranoid schitso phrenic before. Meds are essential. Even though most are somehow effective (?) I beleive chemical balance is aim 1..anxiety or adhd..but i beleive in the telepathy. The tv was very uncomfortable before. Now im ok there. I had to take dim light showers a long time ago. Its all in our power of our minds but under attack it is aweful and impossible been there! More studys the right distribution of nuerological effecting medicines!

I can't believe you said dude with szphrnea "tried marijuana once or twice."
So stupid
Oh believe it! We said it. We see it.
Thank you for this lesson. I know male friends who are twins and are both Schizophrenic...so tragic for the family
Wow, what a tough situation for them. Twin cases are very interesting in the pathophysiologic mechanisms that we believe underlie this condition.
Glad you are their friend and can provide some understanding and hope for them.

Are you on CIA payroll? Just a yes or a no please.
??!!!??
Well why has marijuana helped people with disorders?
This is a GREAT question which warrants real discussion. Hopefully our integrative podcast we’re working on, and discussion format will allow insightful education about this.
For now, let’s try to understand what you mean by helped. What “type of people” and who are you referring to, and which disorders are you referencing. Also, are these short or long term changes you’re referencing and how is the alleged help measured, defined, and where is this information coming from? How much is personal anecdote?
Great thing to discuss further, would love to help!
HS then you are doomed even if your on Antipsychotics?
No, of course note. There are many treatments and excellent care for those learning to handle this disease in themselves or their loved ones. You stay positive and we'll keep working on the science and treatments!
