Wow! I dont know anything about schizophrenia and I haven't known or been around anyone with it. I still find all of this fascinating! I really love seeing how technology can help with many medical/mental health situations. Thanks for opening up and sharing your experiences and knowledge! ❤
Facial recognition could be good here too; even if you do see a hallucination on the screen the face would not be recognised. Same with a heat signature, a simple thermal cam would tell you that there is nothing there. I just hope that Apple are willing to provide you with one of these at a massive discount, given your condition and it's almost a medical tool.
The thing is. It's unlikely for Apple to give a discount and a quest 3 would be the best price to quality ratio. Quest 3 Passthrough is a similar quality while having more apps/games for uses outside of checking if something is a hallucination or not while at home.
I was diagnosed with paranoid type schizophrenia. I mostly had delusions and paranoia when I wasn't medicated. The hallucinations weren't really a thing for me. I think I had them sometimes but I wasn't really sure if they really were voices or just like intrusive thoughts. Every time I tried to discuss it with anyone they wouldn't really listen all that much. For many years I believed that I didn't have any mental illness and I'd go off my medication and end up at the hospital. It happened quite a few times until I finally accepted that I have schizophrenia.
I recommend trying the Quest 3, it could do similar stuff with more apps, larger community, and a higher likelihood for apps to be developed due to it just being $500 dollars (at the base storage, new). It also has a internal battery, and you can still stream what your seeing on your phone (not fully sure for passthrough though)
Probably not going to happen in the US but here in Germany I can see this being covered by helath insurance if it proves actuallly helpful. Not the biggest fan of them but Apple working with psychologist to develop some sort of app wich makes using it for those symptoms a bit easier would be cool. But that's just my uniformed outsider thoughts.
Hopefully they make more headsets with solid passthrough that aren't overpriced. I think the closest comparison is the Quest, though they have a lot of jank with the pass through, I think for a lower price way to double check hallucinations it would probably save your bank account. Hopefully Apple open up their software to give their headset/s more flexibility similar to almost all other headsets.
I had no idea there are schizophrenic people that have it together like this. I only had personal contact to one before and he was permanently busy with his over to top crazy conspiracy theory that the local radio station gives him personally commands with the order of rap songs they are playing.
well, the quest 3 is getting the all same features and it CAN cost up to $600, but if you search enough you might be able to find one as low as $200. the big difference is that the quest 3 is more customizable, but it takes a bit of research and trial and error to get stuff working, as opposed to how the vision pro is very simple to set up, but has very little customization options. or of course you could get the previous model, the quest 2, for even cheaper. it's not nearly as good, and the passthrough (the camera feed to see outside the headset) is only in black and white, but it's definitely the most accessible way to do this.
Of course, this wouldn't work with any person with schizophrenia. In my opinion, I have met many people with this disorder and I myself have it too. But some people don't even have that many hallucinations, so then it can't work. And some people's hallucinations are intertwined with their delusions, then it's also quite difficult to treat it with VR. Good video overall!
I've wondered does having someone with you to try and reassure you help with the episodes or does it make it worse? Like someone actively saying put your camera on me and focus on just that.
If you start seeing and hearing things, just turn on your phone camera and face it towards you, then you will see nothing is around you. No reason to spend 3k on what your phone can already do.
@@CarcinogenSDA I think he uses his mental illness as a means to produce an income, and that he's faking a very serious illness people suffer and struggle with everyday. I'm not mocking him, but I'm questioning his motives.
It’s not schizophrenia Your hearing the spirts inside your body talking they whisper to each other your also seeing spirts not hallucinations You have abilities others don’t Do you see visions when you close your eyes ?
I agree. They are actually demonic entities. Look up Jerry Marzinsky. He studied this with hundred of patients as pscyhotherapist in some of the worlds largest institutions and prisions.
Wow!

My son uses his VR to help himself. It is quite pricey and worth it.
It took me years to get the courage to make a video on my Schizophrenia, it was short though. But thank you for spreading awareness of Schizophrenia.

mate an occulus headset is like $200. You dont need the apple one.

My thoughts exactly
Yes
That price...if it's a way to cope with symptoms for others as well, I wish it was more accessible!

Yeah, my main problem that gets in my way is cognitive issues. Disorganized thoughts. and such.
Where did you get that profile picture I love it @@SevenUnwokenDreams
@@EastDallasKicks I got it from DeviantArt by the user shichigoro756
I have schizophrenia and I use my quest2 once a month to update it lol 😆🥴
Very cool!!

This is interesting. Maybe you could help invent VR glasses to where you wouldn't have to wear such bulky equipment.

Apparently that’s a great tool but not effective for everyone; which is a bummer.
Lol the price edit was good, made me laugh. Glad you found another tool to help and to potentially help others
❤
I was wondering myself does schizophrenia have to deal with paranormal in some sorta way?
I wanna see that marriage on the YT my mans
Research... sleeps on quest 1 and 2 and 3. lol
Have you considered putting your faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth?
don't be an asshole.
don't mock the guy. you want him to have even more hallucinations? that's a terrible thing to say to him.
@@CarcinogenSDA I'm not concerned, personally I feel like he's milking his mental disorder for profit.
@@CarcinogenSDA I am concerned, but I'm convinced he's using his mental illness for profit.

It’s not schizophrenia
Your hearing the spirts inside your body talking they whisper to each other your also seeing spirts not hallucinations
You have abilities others don’t
Do you see visions when you close your eyes ?
bruh

Please don't
It might sound funny to you but those kinds of delusion can be really hurtful for people who already struggling with reality perseption.
@@tartaletk according to the original posters name I don't think they're joking. I think they're serious.
@@WhitneyDahlin that's even worse 😞
