Textbook psychosis. I had psychosis as well, I believed a pack of wolves was hunting me down because I was destined to save the world from unspeakable evil. I hid from the wolves at work and my boss was like "What's going on, why are you scared?" and I broke down and told him about the wolves that I saw and that same day I was brought into a mental hospital via ambulance and I am so grateful for that because I got treatment, my delusions disappeared and I learned to spot the signs of a psychotic episode and haven't had one since, whenever I see the beginning signs of it (paranoia for me mostly) I talk to my psychiatrist and we adjust treatment. Mental health help is so so so important! I feel so sorry for Marianne who just wanted to help the poor guy.
I remember my dip into insanity. Persecution Delusion, Stage 1 Brain Cancer, I was in the hospital and thought the doctors were trying to kill me and my family members. That’s scary as shit. I went insane in the hospital but I’ve worked my way back to sanity and came to the conclusion that they saved my life and helped me back to sanity. It is scary as hell being at the mercy of your own mind. I don’t hold my head so lightly anymore and I am trying my best to recover. Even as I’m in remission and am cancer free.
@@eric2577 After that, I’d rather saw my arm off with a serrated kitchen knife then do any form of psychedelics. Because I’ve gotten a lovely example of why the bliss of hallucinations is a very bad thing. Because my loved ones and so many innocent doctors and nurses had to suffer. And i am forever grateful for them putting up with me. One day I’ll donate money to the hospital.
@Brentdanium she's talking about the cop, not the suspect. She's saying some cops and some people show lack of empathy by giving up quickly, but he was worried and tirelessly searched for the woman until he found her. Schizophrenia doesn't cause lack of empathy, but sadly many people lack it without even a mental illness
I've had drug induced psychosis before - it isabsolutely terrifying. I felt like someone was following me, that people were hiding in my bedroom and that my house had been bugged. I ended up wandering the streets and spent hours hiding behind a dumpster. Scary as hell.
Yeah, I accidentally puddled myself with LSD and I thought mantis aliens were trying to r-a-p-e and abduct me. Every person I saw was connected to/ working with the aliens. I ended up in the woods covered in mud and shit. Those damn mantises kept peeking at me from behind trees and they were talking to me the ENTIRE TIME through telepathy. I’ve never been so deluded in my life but somehow it rewired my brain. I was in the midst of heroin addiction for a few years before this happened and when I snapped out of it I wasn’t physically addicted to heroin anymore. I had no withdrawals. Nothing. Never used again after that ordeal.
Because we live in a world in which cases like this are considered cold-blooded murder; but some random mafia boss with a personal deathcount of 100+ people can go out on parole, bail or as an informant.
The biggest criminal in this story was the "psychologist" that charged the state $100k and threw up their hands and said, "Yeah, this guy did it and is totally fine."
Maybe the police didnt want him to get off easy, after he injured one of their officers. In my country this guy would get rehabilitation, not 45 years in jail
@@user-mm4kk9kv6s You dont believe in rehab then? Its not like you let murderers right back on the street, it takes decades and relapse rates are very low if done right
@Witty Witty I’m sorry. I have more compassion for the victim of a brutal slaying. I sympathize with the victim who died the most heinous way. You sympathize with the killer. You are just as much as a lunatic as him. Doesn’t matter the killers mental state. Actions have consequences regardless of condition the killer had. Life in prison should have been it.

This turns my stomach to see. My sister was showing almost identical behavior at the beginning of her run with meth induced psychosis. All that remains, over three years and many meds later, is an empty shell of who she used to be with mild hallucinations/delusions. It’s very haunting. Thankfully, she hasn’t physically hurt anybody yet. I can’t imagine what his family was going through at this point.
I honestly love the one cop narrating the entire time at the scene. "Anyone comes up on us is gettin' smoked dude." You can tell how tense and spooky the vibe must be for those guys
Cop trash talk. Gonna smoke someone? Sounds like a thug with a badge and saying that sounds hypocritical. Its a huge problem in our country with these cops. They need to be trained better and follow the laws that they "protect".
@@rdallas81 I mean, if I found someone's head chopped off... in the middle of the night..in the woods..with an axe, I think I might say something similar
Its not very often that one feels not only sorry for the victims, but also for the murderer. This is definitly one of these rare cases... Hope he get's proper treatment and may the familys of the harmed come to peace
@@KT-xb8mw I know marijuana can mess with someone who has certain mental illness. I used to sit in the driveway in the middle of the night watching the “yellow people”. But an ex lived with this chick that got insanely paranoid and was trying to climb under the couch and trying to call 911. He called me and I asked if it was the same we smoked and it was. It’s crazy how something like Mary Jane can do to different people.
An officer of over 30 years commit suicide in my town recently. Every time I see these cases now I think about how terrifying it has to be for the first responders and they usually are overlooked. I hope those guys are okay.
I never ever feel sorry for the perpetrators and only for the First responders who have to deal with the scum. Everybody forgets that they get traumatized and that it affects their families, too. Meanwhile, society wants first responders to treat the perpetrators with kids gloves.
those officers did a great job out there. i also hope they are fine. for first responders it must be so scary not knowing what may awaits you at the scene. my deepest respect for all these officers, medics, firemen and so on.

My brother is a paranoid schizophrenic and it heartbreaking to see close ones battle their own thoughts constantly. He describes it as torture from your own brain you can’t turn off
He has demon possession. They take up residence in the mind. I do hypnosis and remove them. Find a hypnotherapist that removes spirits. Once the demon spirit is removed, he will go back to normal. Best have family member go under and remove spirit through 3rd party, so demon isn't aware. They can leave and return later if they know. 5 suffering people underwent hypnosis, had spirit removed and they were cured.
He also said he hasn't had a drink in 5 days...which could mean he was going through severe delirium tremens from alcohol withdrawal and went into psychosis. Whats crazy is that he could actually have been sober for a few days which is what triggered the withdrawals.
Exactly what I was thinking. Usually alcohol and drug withdrawl can throw people right into mental instability, or worsen their already poor mental health. Withdrawl is such a cruel beast.
@@synergisticcollusion134 You do not know that. Many red flags pointed that withdrawal caused his psychosis and it exacerbated given his previous mental issues. He was drug tested (thoroughly in this case) and prescription's and other illegal drugs can stay in your system for MONTHS and he was negative) Alcohol however is different and only stays 12-24 hrs When you suddenly stop drinking, you think you're clear in the first 2 days If no DT's or seizure occur. BUT the withdrawal goes into full over drive on the third to fifth day and can even go up to 2 weeks. Im telling people this because not a lot know about this when they do drug test or autopsy with no drugs in the system. and usually they write it as stroke/heart attack to be the cause of death.
@@JohnnyHellraiser What made you think he had alcohol withdrawal? He specifically stated it was water he was lacking for 5 days, but I never saw any mention of alcohol in the entire video. Just an assumption? (Which is fair enough). I think he smoked Spice & was quite dehydrated (5 days could be exaggeration).
I have 31 years clean and sober and have met many addicts in recovery who have had undiagnosed mental illness and try to self medicate with drugs or alcohol or both. To me, he appeared to have a mental illness, but I'm not a doctor. So sad that an innocent woman was killed. My condolences to her family and friends.
@Zoe K I'm talking about the entire ordeal. A stranger, coming up to your home, in the dark,.wild eyed, assaulting you. Even if she was knocked out before she was killed, it was still terrifying. She still knew if she went unconscious, she most likely wasn't going to wake up.
I have mental illness since I was a little kid and I'm being treated since I was 11. Although I struggle a lot still, I'm really thankful that I am being treated well enough so I don't end up this way. I stay away from drugs. Only medication, lately cigarettes (but I'm working my way out too) and every other month I have some beer. Never get drunk really cause I'm scared of could happen if I do get drunk. It's just... It's a struggle in many ways but I'm here to say I've never hurted anyone else besides myself and even that hasn't happened in over a year. Mental illness are generally chronic and takes a long time to work through. Just the other day I had an episode where we all thought it was a seizure but it was actually anxiety and stress. I hadn't slept in over 36h and hadn't been eating properly. When our mind is unstable, we need to balance everything else very carefully. So... Eat healthy, exercise, take meds, do therapy and SLEEP WELL. It makes a huge difference to everybody's life.
That is great advise, as a person who struggles with major depression since i was 14, you are absolutely right. Much love from Poland, take care of yourself, kind stranger!
it’s so good to see creators mention that body language isn’t always what it seems on the surface. really informative video with professional and cohesive visuals/audio. well done guys!
Put your azzes out there in the pitch black discovering a decapitated women you'd all need diapers. Respect to those cops especially the officer shot in the elbow.
The fact that he says "I haven't had a drink in 5 days" makes me think this could be a severe case of alcohol withdrawal. And the fact that the sedatives don't work only supports that theory. Alcohol withdrawal is incredibly dangerous, for addicts going through it - and in cases like this, for those around them. If the addiction is severe enough, or has been sustained long enough, psychosis can occur. And the usual sedatives won't work specifically due to the alcohol addiction and withdrawl.
Yes , I had the same thought about his comment on not having a drink in 5 days .I could be wrong of course but from what I myself have seen with anyone going through a withdrawal of drugs / alcohol and being given any sedative never works .I don't think that's totally it but maybe its a piece of what's going on.
I thought the exact thing had an ex partner that was alcoholic and smoked weed ect take his drugs away he wasn't to bad take his alcohol away and he would have manic episodes like he was possed by demonic entities and he was kinda scary. One night he jumped on my bed when I was sleeping with a knife to my throat said, tonight's the night your gona die. I keeper calm in my head I was thinking wtf . I quickly Diss armed him by punching him so hard I knocked him of me to the floor ( I'm an ex boxer ) But my instincts kicked in survival mode had small children in other room. No fucking way was I gonna let it happen. Anyway he kinda comes to and looks scared I said you what ? What you gona do to me bitch . I was holding the knife over him now. He simply said wasn't me was Victor. Victor was the aparent ghost he'd made up in his mind ( he akso heard voices) Said it was him he made him do it. To this day he sticks to the same story smirking as he blames Victor. I'm not with him no more , but he was very narcissistic and a alcoholic.and he would often have demonic episodes. He killed 2 rabbits a tortoise birds fish gid knows what other animals . He kicked my cats and dog always hurting animals . He tried hurting me few times but I'm strong defend myself. But I never trusted him after that. Once I caught him drugging my friend and realised he was secretly poisoning me. And it was always the alcohol withdrawal. I mean he was fucked up already that just kinda set him of. He'd been drinking from age 15. So I to beilive this guy was set of cos alcohol withdrawal. He is a vile creature where. He ain't had a drink.
I've withdrawled from benzos and alcohol and Suboxone all at the same time with no help plus I had small children to look after lol you hit the nail on the head
Andrew reminds me of brother to a T! My brother is a paranoid schizophrenic with PTSD and Bi-polar. He's has episodes constantly like this. We've called the law on him more times than I can count. Every time, they just tell him to calm down, and tell us that there's nothing they can do because he's an adult and can refuse help. We've literally been told to call them when he either beats us or kills someone. We live in New Mexico, too, and you'd think that after this case they'd take severe mental break downs and delusions seriously, but NOPE. My Bro got shot TWICE last month, and the state just says that until he gets violent, there's nothing they can do 😡
Domestic laws in NM clearly state that the aggressor has to take the ride each call.... so something is off with your story. Either the LEO's aren't doing their job or your trolling or half-telling lies/truth
@bill smith i should probably explain the getting shot thing as I realized that I stated that with no explanation. One morning he tells my mom that he's going to walk to the gas station to get cigarettes. A couple of hours go by, and he hasn't come back. Not unusual for him, as sometimes he paces up and down streets talking to himself. Well, around 2 p.m., my mom gets a call from an officer that my brother's in the hospital and had been shot in the leg twice. Apparently he wandered onto someones property mumbling to himself and they shot him. They released him from the hospital a couple hours later. My family doesn't know what really happened that led up to him being shot because he just gives us some crazy story about it being Kanye West pulling a drive by one him. The shit he thinks that's reality is wild.
Crazy people should be locked up for life in a mental facility. Simple as that. They’re Not contributing members of society and even risk innocent people
Who gets to determine who is crazy? Perhaps your political views are deemed dangerous so you are now locked in a padded cell without being charged with any crime. Giving our government the power to imprison ppl without committing a crime is far more dangerous to public safety than the occasional schizophrenic meltdown.
I've had paranoid breakdowns along with sleeplessness and panic attacks due to drug abuse during divorce process we were going through, and I can tell that I have been on the verge of insanity displayed here by Andrew. It was to the point that I was totally understanding with my mind that it was happening to me right now, but couldn't stop it at all. I called my cousin to stay with me and be near me all the time, while I was pacing around and breathing heavy. Those were the scariest couple of nights in my life and I quit drugs completely after that.
I live in New Mexico and honestly never heard of this. This has got to be one of the most insane murders ever, and we have a good amount. The part that really doesn't make sense is the professional Therapist said this guy was in a normal state when this happened and knew exactly what he was doing. There's no way, I beg to differ completely, this man was and is on his own planet!! Completely off his rocker, psychosis is an understatement. Bless the family's of the people who died during this ordeal, such a tragedy.
And that hack got paid $100,000 for that bogus diagnosis! It is so obvious that this guy has mental health issues and did drugs to self-medicate, but it made it worse. He even talks about it in his confession. I can't help but think that someone on the inside wanted this clearly insane individual diagnosed as sane so that he would just go to prison for an extended amount of time and not get any mental health assistance. He should have been sent to a psychiatric facility. RIP to the lady he killed. The entire thing is tragic.
I actualy live in Ruidoso Downs, no more than about 5 miles from that very police station. I remember this well as it was the talk of our tiny mountain town for some time. Some Crazy chit!!
People don't have any sympathy for substance abuse, and sometimes for understandable reasons. But I guarantee you that's why they determined he was "cognizant", it's because his state of mind was caused by drugs, which is a more sober decision that resulted in the incident. Still, I feel like this SHOULD be treated differently than someone who plans and executes a murder without any other influence. It doesn't excuse someone if they got super high on meth and entered a state of psychosis, but that is NOT the same as a cold-blooded murder.
This is honestly pretty heartbreaking to watch I'm an ex-addict clean 10 years and I had a schizophrenic drug addicted half-brother that I lost contact with and when I was a child before I started using I would sit and listen to his delusions and how afraid he was of everyone trying to get him. A little backstory his mom killed herself by shooting herself in the head and he found her when he was five, our father never got them help he turned to drugs and nobody's heard from him since.
I’m in recovery as well and looking back (at what I can remember of my worst benders) I feel so fortunate that I made it through the other side. Drugs can do crazy things to your mind.
@@krispeekream I think I will just stay to smoking weed. I feel like weed has given me intrusive thoughts that I have to deal with everyday. I jjust hope I don't end up with schizophrenia or sum shit
Thats so sad. Im also an ex addict, even ive been sober just a few years, my life has turned around completely. My brother also was an addict and he died in my arms, he took an overdose. I was alone and tried to give him cpr 45minutes alone. It left scars on me and it took a few years to overcome that. Lost lots of other lives too. Mental health is something that should be taken seriously. Im happy that there are people who can leave that life and stay alive. Continue staying sober
I can tell you right now with ABSOLUTE certainty , this was caused by his previous meth use. I literally went through the exact same thing except ) after being clean from ALL substances for over 3 months) then one day- snap! I thought my grandma was the one controlling everything... Thank God I didn't do anything stupid, but I did walk 15 miles to her house in the middle of winter and in the middle of the night to confront her.... Thank God, her and my grandpa and I drank wine and I fell asleep.... I eventually got tricked into go to ER for psych eval, after 2 weeks in the psych ward I was released to treatment ( even though I was clean for close to 4 months and the drug test in the ER confirmed this) my diagnosis- drug induced psychosis. I thought I was the son of God, people were out to get me, I was going to conquer the anti-christ, everything he said. It was SOOO real....
It's got nothing to do with bipolar. Actually it's pretty common for psychosis (not 'bipolar') to include feelings of being god/son of God so on. It's incredibly dangerous and so awful for all people involved 😢
Since my spiritual awakening, and realising that negative entities do exist on a lower vibration, I have never looked after my mental health and vibration more in my life. What this guy did was so wrong, but I honestly believe that when you struggle with negative vibrations (depression, grief, fear, jealousy, etc, etc) really lower vibration entities can gain access to your spiritual body. I believe this is what happened here. I hope that he gets the help he needs, but more than that, I hope that this lady’s soul is able to move onto a better place and that her loved ones are ok ♥️
My brother is schizophrenic. He talks similarly to this guy (probably even crazier).My brother has been in trouble for driving off with a guys truck while he was visiting his dads family. He just said he had to get out of there and it was a cool truck lol like I was the crazy one. That was when he was sixteen. It hit him at 14. Before that he was the coolest kid. Could play any sport, I couldn’t have girlfriends over because he’d steal my friend 😉😂. He was the best. He’s never been violent, but he can get upset. He has the biggest heart, he’s just lost. All the kids love him in our family. He plays and talks crazy, but kids forgive easier than adults do. In the back of my mind I do worry because of stories like this. I love my brother so much, I miss who he was, but have grown to love who he is now. I pray 🙏🏻 he never gets this lost, this far from reality.

My mom developed schizophrenia when i was a teen, the persecution type. It started with voices asking her to cut all the wires to stop people from spying on her. Then it turned into visual hallucinations, a shadow. That's when she started to get physical. She only slapped me once but she broke many things around the house. Only then it got possible to intern her against her will, because she became a clear danger to herself and other. She's okay now, with the medication. She owns her house and live life normally. I wanted to share this because, although this illness is very serious, its not the end and its possible to live a good life with a little bit of support. Also please, schizophrenic episodes are not rational and its not "only" because of hallucinations that they will act irrationally, so trying to reason with them is not the solution during a crisis. Its like banging on a concrete wall really, because there are chemicals in the brain that do not work properly or are unbalanced. Medication first, reason second, sad but true.
It’s depressing how little help and knowledge there is about mental illness. Almost every mental facility is horrible and the way they handle their patients should be illegal. I mean most people rather go to jail than a mental institution. That says a lot about how little care is given about that sort of thing. We should be funding studies towards mental health issues more than almost anything else. And these institutions should have regular checks to ensure they are taking the necessary precautions and care for every single one of their patients. My mother got diagnosed with schizophrenia last year as a result of taking anti depressants. She had been depressed for 5 years prior and we decided to seek help from a psychiatrist. They prescribed her anti depressants. Us accepting that was the most horrible decision we’ve made thus far. Because within a year she became psychotic. So much so that we had to take her to a mental facility. In which they did not help her whatsoever, took our money (almost 20k) and sent her back home with no clear solution or communication. As a matter of fact, while she was there, we weren’t allowed to speak to her or whoever was in charge of supposedly helping her. It’s disgusting to me how horrible every single mental facility is. I’ve read reviews of so many after looking for a better option and they’re all horrible and follow the same patterns. Truly this needs to change. Mental illness shouldn’t be taken lightly. It’s a very serious issue and there should be more research done.
Usually they want to go to jail, cause they don't want the label "crazy" attached to them and because jail has a well defined timelimit (if you didn't kill a bunch of peeps), while a mental institution doesn't.
LOOK up the case of Thomas Chan from Peterborough Ontario. This guy should not be in jail. for 50 years or 37 years or w.e. it was. And thank you for your comment.
Spot on. I wouldn't say "every mental facility" but many of them around the world are corrupt. That is no reason to avoid getting help and it's very unfortunate your mother reacted like this to antidepressants (not a normal reaction), though they might not even have been true anti depressants. A better diagnosis BEFORE the antidepressant would help solve a lot of issues in the world of psychiatry, but they just LOVE throwing the antidepressants, benzos and antipsychotics at you BEFORE figuring out ANYTHING about you or what's wrong with you, and that is really, really bad, because pairing the wrong mental illness with the wrong pill can have devastating effects. Our approach to psychiatry in 2023 is pathetic worldwide, if not out outright inhumane and criminal.
@@simcul7847 I can't find what jail he is at. Anyway. I was gonna write to him, and tell him, I found a good case that's a better precedent than he has been aware of, and to try to get a new trail, or bring it up in front of an appeal council or something...
The reason he wasn't showing any remorse or understanding the severity of his actions is because he was still in the same mindset he was when he did those things.
How is "it all such a mystery" if he smoked weed? Weed is known to bring out schizophrenia in SPECIFICALLY males who are in late adolescence/early adulthood. Or, this could also be bipolar mania, and the meth use (which he lied about - hence his nonverbal indicators) counteracted the sedatives that he was given, allowing him to be combative in the hospital. Makes perfect sense to me. (P.S. I'm an MD-PhD who works in Psychiatry)
YES. This was the first thing I thought of and thought it was weird they weren't leaning into the marijuana use more. I worked in child and adolescent psychiatry and this was especially scary to see.
As one with bipolar, here is one of the problems for us. The PRICE of the damn meds! I was going to try to add Rexulti. $476! I am on disability due to my health (bipolar and physical). How in the HELL can we afford these meds? And yes I’m on Medicare. I also need migraine meds…over $400 as well. No one should have to deal with this. I mean diabetics, cancer patients, they need life saving meds. And some cost around $3000/ mo. I remember watching the movie Sicko and Michael Moore took some people to Guantanamo Bay for medication. One woman had cancer and her meds were astronomical. Going to Guantanamo, her meds were $10 USD. Just disgusting.
Our medications in Australia are cheap AF. Our government subsidises our medications. They don't let the pharmaceutical companies hike the prices up. What you guys go through in America is completely unfair and a big reason why your country is so fucked.
Unfortunately that’s a USA thing. In most developed countries, there is some form of universal or subsidised healthcare. Thankfully I live in Scotland and don’t ever have to pay anything.
I had a guy that worked for me that dropped 26 hits of acid at a concert one weekend. Needless to say, it fried is brain for about a week solid. He never was the same again. The weird thing about it was, if anyone smoke marijuana with him, he would become extremely violent. He died at a very young age. Drugs overtook his life. He told me onetime that he talked to God and Satan during that time period. I believed him. I watch something like this and wonder if I am lucky to be alive.
Psychedelic are not for everybody, most people's don't have experiences like these if they safely measure their doses, 26 is an EXTREMELY high dose, considering 1 tab is potent
That's sad... There's a good chance it resulted in schizoprenia, which would explain why when he would get violent when he smoked. Schizoprenia is correlated to excessive dopamine amounts. Weed (THC) causes your brain to release more dopamine, likely causing him to almost immediately experience psychosis.
Some folks have no control over their own mental faculties in their lives.. which lead them to making more terrible decisions even worse than before, until it all culminates spiraling out I'll call it, of existence. All of these substances are also having their own terrible affect. So weak faculties and reasoning on top of the actual effect of the substances just degrades the mind that much more.
@@Mary_Beth_Reimer After a week of not seeing him, I went to his house and his dad was beside himself. Wasn't sure what to so with him. I called around to some places and without insurance nobody wanted to help. We were able to get him 72 hrs at a hospital and they released him after that. He was still in a "zombie" state. I tried so hard with a couple of the guys that did work for me. It was a construction job. They worked hard and played harder. What a waste. I still miss the Jason that once was.
I saw this on Facebook and really felt the need to share it. I have NEVER seen a more perfect poem, written in the saddest way. "I destroy homes, tear families apart - take your children, and that's just the start. I'm more costly than diamonds, more costly than gold - the sorrow I bring is a sight to behold. And if you need me, remember I'm easily found. I live all around you, in schools and in town. I live with the rich, I live with the poor, I live down the street, and maybe next door. My power is awesome - try me you'll see. But if you do, you may never break free. Just try me once and I might let you go, but try me twice, and I'll own your soul. When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie. You'll do what you have to just to get high. The crimes you'll commit, for my narcotic charms, will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms. You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad. When you see their tears, you should feel sad. But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised. I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways. I take kids from parents, and parents from kids, I turn people from God, and separate from friends. I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride, I'll be with you always, right by your side. You'll give up everything - your family, your home, your friends, your money, then you'll be alone. I'll take and I'll take, till you have nothing more to give. When I'm finished with you you'll be lucky to live. If you try me be warned this is no game. If given the chance, I'll drive you insane. I'll ravish your body, I'll control your mind. I'll own you completely; your soul will be mine. The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed. The voices you'll hear from inside your head. The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see. I want you to know, these are all gifts from me. But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart, that you are mine, and we shall not part. You'll regret that you tried me, they always do. But you came to me, not I to you. You knew this would happen. Many times you were told, but you challenged my power, and chose to be bold. You could have said no, and just walked away. If you could live that day over, now what would you say? I'll be your master; you will be my slave. I'll even go with you, when you go to your grave. Now that you have met me, what will you do? Will you try me or not? Its all up to you. I can bring you more misery than words can tell. Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell." Signed DRUGS
Thanks for sharing, made me weep. My 26 yr old niece is trying to recover from meth addiction, her 4 yr old daughter has been living with my sister, my niece's mom, at least a year now. I've only ever done marijuana because I knew coke destroyed my aunt, and was taught in high school how addicting drugs can be. It's hard to relate on some levels. I don't understand why people choose to poison themselves. I'm going to keep this poem. I hope everyone can find hope and recovery. 💕

You must admit that it's heart-braking at the same time is that this dude believes his demons he's describing, along with the shifting to being super emotional and being torn and shattered is completely legit. Too many nuances to mimic for a messy mind, or even a pro IMO. He's a mess.
Ive been in psychosis 2 times once on shrooms and once on acid. Was very scary and ive always maintained that the worse part of it is not knowing you're there till you're not anymore.
@@windedzero10_28 I'm just curious, what was your last psychosis? I had a really bad psychosis on my last LSD trip myself. One of the things I did was smashing a window open and almost passing out from the blood loss due to the glass shards in my arm.
The part with him in the hospital really reminds me of the patients that were on the psych units that I worked on. It can be incredibly sad and scary to see individuals with mental health challenges. And another great video with a fantastic breakdown on what is happening. Also, and unfortunately, I can personally relate to being psychotic and having paranoid delusions as a result of substance abuse that ended up with an altercation with the police. Fortunately, no one was injured other than myself. Thank you for the incredibly detailed videos!!! It's really awesome to learn a bunch of information!
@Bok Choy no, I have not heard or read anything about that. I do know that B3 (niacin) deficiency can lead to pellagra and that can have mental effects such as hallucinations.
@Bok Choy psychiatry and treatment of mental illness is still such a new and not well understood science. There is a lot to learn although the basic pathology of mental illness is somewhat understood. I’m not well read on the use of B vitamin supplemental. I know that with schizophrenia and mania, that is usually caused by an abnormally elevated level of dopamine and serotonin. I’m glad to hear that you are doing better! I’m sure that having those intrusive thoughts were quite disruptive to your life and overall well-being!
WARNING!!!! HELL IS REAL!!!!! Where will you go when you die, Heaven or Hell? We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus Christ loves you and He died for your sins.

This is all so horribly tragic: Andrew is clearly trying to make some meaningful connection with reality, and I think he's doing a fair job of it; considering he's in the midst of a psychotic break...
I experienced psychosis once, it lasted a few weeks and it was the most embarrassing and scary things to happen to me. As someone who has experienced psychosis and recovered 100%, I could not imagine what it would be like to come out of psychosis as a criminal, especially a murderer. That poor woman 😢
I just had the same thing happen to me. I came home from a friends house and ended up in the hospital two days later. Took about three weeks to get back to normal. A lot of people in my life still won’t talk to me from the things I texted and called and told them. I had a blood test done at the ER. It turns out I was dosed with a very powerful drug.
cannot believe this guy is one day going to get released i would not want to be around when he does R.I.P. to the lady and my heart go's out to the family plus the officer just doing his job hope he made a full recovery much respect to you from the UK
Living with Bipolar 1 I have been psychotic and institutionalised. This is the kind of behaviour I've exhibited. In the hospital I genuinely bellied demons were in the walls coming to get me. It's HORRENDOUS 😭 I'm beyond thankful that I never hurt anyone when I was in that state. I believed, genuinely, that I was God, yoda, mother nature. And I had done (and still don't) absolutely zero drugs. Having a brain that can turn on you is the scariest thing.
Was it just me or did you hear a woman respond in the beginning of the video? When the sheriff knocked on the door you can hear a woman’s voice reply yes? And he starts knocking again…. It was crazy
This is absolutely heartbreaking. When I was a child, my uncles wife un alived their three children, on what they say was a psychotic break. Raffie was just a new born infant, Phillip was almost a year old & Sarah was 2 years old. There were many signs before this happened, but I believe that the family just either didn’t recognize that she needed help, or didn’t want too recognize the problem. I often wonder how it could have been, if anyone would have offered her the help that she so obviously needed.
I remember a time I overdosed on cough suppressant and had psychosis. It was terrible. The hospital left me strapped in a bed crying in the middle of the room and I thought everyone was looking at me and making fun of me. I hope we can get better mental health support in this country.
yep, got put into a temp hold (couple hours) until cleared, staff and guards mocked the patients. Places are shitholes where people wont get better (in the abusive ones not the actual functioning facilities)
The way he says “and when she talked to me it stopped but when she was done talking they kept possessing her back and forth….” Or whatever around 20mins Reminds me of acid, my first ever trip was like life was in the fast lane, everything my friend was doing was fast, whenever I went to pee (like 20 times it had to be) it was like I was putting life in 2x. But whenever my buddy Ed would say something (we were doing the trip in my room ended up playing 7 days to die console edition) about the game it’s like I was sober again, and then by the time he was almost done talking, even he started to speed up again. Kinda random but it made me think of that time and if anyone knows more about it than me lmk please! (TL:DR, the way this guys sanity almost kinda comes back when the coe ranch lady talks to him reminds me of how my sober-ness came back when my friend talked to me on acid.)
its so terrifying to think that any of us could be sick like this and not know until it is too late. He didnt know he had done anything wrong, he thought he did good and that is so scary. The human mind can be very fragile to trauma.
i’m schizophrenic & i always feel like the government is listening to my thoughts or that they are watching me through the tv or camera & i always get this weird feeling that something (ghost/spirit like) is in the other room stalking me. i sometimes feel like others can read my mind & that i’m the only person who’s actually alive everyone else is just playing a role or something that i can’t really explain it’s scary living like this everyday in paranoia but I’ve learned to live w it i stopped taking anti psychotics because they really didn’t do much for me & also made me gain a lot of weight especially when you take them while in the mental hospital because all you do is sleep & sit all day & have little space to actually walk around + they feed you heavy meals ugh i just can’t win!
I was watching one of your previous videos and noticed someone in the comments asked if you guys could put subtitles in your videos because its sometimes hard to hear what people are saying. I also noticed that you guys included them in this video. Its appreciated that you are taking the time to listen to the feedback and improve your videos. Doing a great job, thanks guys
@@shonamagouyrk9575 I use CC too and I’d bet that you know just as well as I do how bad those can be sometimes so that just makes it all the more impactful that they actually took the feedback and applied it by adding captions in some parts. I had CC on for this video and I appreciated when the CC lined up with the text on screen - solely to verify that the CC was correct. I wasn’t aware they didn’t really do this prior so it was nice to hear they began doing so after someone brought it to their attention.
they spent the entire episode describing his severe and obviousa mental illnes and then at the end literally switched on a dime and said he weas "clearly cognisant" and aware of what he was doing
Who would've thought that violent acts and outbursts could be prevented if a person got or had access to mental help. A sane person doesnt drive a car through a crowd or shoot somebody.
People aren't allowed to suggest that your child may have some early issues that can balloon later. They take it as an insult and shun the idea. Then resent the kid.
My mother has schizophrenia. When I was a teenager she once tried to attack me with a stick for speaking too long on the phone and giving evil spirits control of me. Another time she was sure the neighbour was trying to kill her. Usually she just thinks they are conspiring against her... She's very stable on meds now, and thankfully was never strong enough to be an actual threat but I still get the chills. It was like there was nobody home. She also doesn't remember these episodes later.
That clearly shows you that they were demons why someone with not stable mental health always thinking about bad stuff or forgetting memories it’s always Bad and evil stuffs…but there’s two sides in this world bad and good Good specifically goes withGOD BAD -Evil
That’s so heartbreaking, but I’m glad she is stable now. I have bipolar disorder (possibly schizoaffective but I never went back to the psychiatrist and actually don’t want it to be true)but I am on antipsychotic meds. But pre-meds…I’m not sure how I and the people around me remained unharmed. I have had several “bipolar blackouts” in my lifetime and I never remember them in detail. And if I do remember, it’s almost like I’m hearing or seeing a story that someone else is telling. I do believe some of these people are evil, though. And the mental illness makes it easier for them to bring it out.
@@monicabalucci1624No, it's because religion makes you fearful of this concept called demons and evil spirits. If you're having a mental health episode, your brain is reasoning must be caused by something supernatural like demons since there is no other explanation. Stop calling these things demons and other religion related things. It's a disorder of the brain and calling them demons or possessed causes them to be ostracized and ultimately very depressed because they think they are bad instead of the fact that there is a defect in the way their brain is working
It’s almost refreshing to see someone who is actually crazy instead of pretending. It reminds me that not everyone is a liar, which I sometimes think is the case.
The judge on Friday initially issued a 51-year sentence but suspended six years, citing Magill’s mental health. Magill originally pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but a psychiatrist for the prosecution testified he was sane.
That one deputy that is saying "man this is some sketchy shit" and "person down person down f*king axe, f*k this man" he sounds like exactly what would be going through my head if I was the first officer on scene.
sorta off topic but it was actually nice to hear the officers worried, because ive seen so many times in cases where the cops just leave if they see nothing inherently wrong. it was nice to hear them actually care
worried?? all they coild talk about fuckers gonna get it swearing every second sentence typical of a egomaniac...naive muppet, they were on a powertrip.
It helps when you're in a real life horror movie, with the scariest "set" ever. Some spooky, abandoned property with no signs of life and a really heavy sense of dread.
I cannot imagine being the guy that gave Andrew a ride, only to later find out what he had just done only a few minutes before. And he even said to the dispatcher that he didn't think he was dangerous at the time! I wouldn't blame him if he never stops to help anyone ever again!
I'm a volunteer EMT and was once on a call to a man driving through the area and was mentally altered. An officer was on scene, and while we were there the guy showed the officer he had a gun in the car. We transported the guy and he was released later that day after getting some meds he needed. Two days later he got in a shoot-out with cops in a different town and died. That was pretty disturbing
When I was a student I worked in a pub. An old guy came in twice a week. He had smiley eyes, always tipped and I thought he was a lovely old man. Then he was on the front page of the local paper - he’d been stopped in his car, which transpired to have his murdered girlfriend in his car boot for six weeks! Scared the crap out of me! I mean, I enjoyed seeing him. He seemed lovely. Talk about missing the truth of the man.
No imagine being the first guy that gave him a ride and then dropped him before he went to kill the lady. If the guy had drove him to a police station this wouldn’t have happened. He didn’t even have to tell him he was driving him.
It's amazing how they just knew something is really weird and one of them was nearly freaking out even before they found anything. How your brain picks up cues you don't and tells you "this is a bad idea"
This is why we need better and more available drug treatment programs and mental health institutions! I worked in mental health for 25 years. We started to see more and more drug induced psychosis! We were only allowed to keep them long enough to " dry them out" then had to release them and refer them to out patient services which is a joke! There isn't much supervision on their status! There needs to be a better way!
@@bigbaderek1978 True! I have seen that! It's sad that the drug crisis is so out of control! Not everyone wants to stop using drugs and have to hit a true rock bottom! Don't get me wrong, I'm not sticking up for or condoning what this guy did! It is never ok to kill someone! It is a sad world!
@@MsRobinL I’m afraid that problem will never go away so long as there is still reason to believe the US gov is profiting and participating in the drug trade even within the US. Look up “The boys on the tracks” to see what I mean. Wendigoon did a fantastic synopsis of the whole situation. Sadly our government would seem to suggest they legitimately care the most for their own interest even before the very lives of their own people based on what that story has to say. The rate of addicts and drug incited incidents within the US are, at least in some part, just byproducts of such a sick system.
Same. I have known about a case in Florida where the woman killed her husband, was declared insane and was locked up. Spent years back and forth begging for them to take her off meds because she wasn't insane anymore. And eventually was able to prove she was sane and the judge let her out. Probably because she was not bad looking and her they were millionaires. Point being, he is clearly insane and it was not him, and society doesn't have the capacity to understand what happens if someone is not in control of their own mind if they really are responsible for their own actions. Then the question of free will would be gone. So he had to get locked away and we can all pretend that's it.
This is one of those stories where I feel bad for the victim and the killer. He clearly had a psychotic break and was not in control of his faculties, yet he killed someone gruesomely in cold blood. You can't let that go unpunished. Life in a mental institution seems the only reasonable verdict.
sorry, but i disagree. Life in prison but he can stay in the mental wing of the prison and then transferred to the general population if he's mentally stable enough.
I don’t feel bad for him, I’m only assuming but he did mention he does a lot of drugs, could it have been the drugs that caused him psychosis idk but he’s still needs to be pay for his crimes
Im not trying to be a dick, But I wonder if you would still feel sorry for the killer if you was related to the victim? This killer should be sentenced to death and immediately before somebody else suffers.
This entire situation is incredibly sad. It's so terribly sad that someone without cruel intention in their heart can do something so horrific when versed with a severe mental disorder.
Yup. Reminds me of the young mom who saw her baby morph into a demon, so _to save her baby_ she decapitated her baby and ate part of his little body 😔 Her family members found the scene the next day, the 911 call is awful. But she really didn’t know.
Oh but for the price of 100,000$, we now know he was under a drug induced psychosis even tho he wasn’t on any drugs. Not mentally unstable. Just playing crazy. SMFH
It is so heartbreaking that he called his Mum asking for help before any of this happened. Everyone should be educated about mental health, and early intervention services should have funding pouring in, especially at such a dark and tumultuous point in human history.
That guy who gave Andrew a lift is so lucky. His good deed put him next to an axe murderer and yet probably saved him at the same time since he didn't seem confrontational and Andrew probably didn't feel threatened by him.
Fully agree. NEVER stop for someone on the highway who is walking the middle of the road, looking and acting crazy. They might actually need help, but they also could be a guy like Andrew or worse. Thats why call the cops IMMEDIATELY and don't stop by yourself.
Omg I said the exact same thing and I saw your comment 💯 agree. If only he knew. I'm all about trying to help people but not at the expense of my life. Encountering an individual who is clearly unhinged is very risky, especially when they are displaying disturbing behaviour. It's better to get them help from a distance (i.e., call emergency services, etc).
I was thinking the same thing. I half expected the officer to tell him, "hey it's not a good idea to pick up strangers at night because this guy just murdered someone."
I may get dragged over the coals for this but i feel SO bad for Andrew was well as the poor woman he murdered. I can't imagine the hell he's experiencing in his head. He truly thinks he had to do what he did. It's so scary. The fact that the psychiatrist found him sane is nuts to me
I was diagnosed with early onset skitzophrenia as a child and I'm 52, so this had literally been my worst nightmare my whole life!(That I would hurt someone while in a delusional state and "wake up" to this!) I definitely feel bad for everyone involved....there are no intentional villians in this story!
No one should drag you over anything for having empathy. I felt the same way. He was a mess and his drug induced mind had driven him crazy! I feel so bad for the officer and the Mary Ann’s family! So sad all the way around. Love and prayers to The victims and thier families❤
If my understanding is correct-the suspect only has to be deemed they were mentally competent at the time the crime was committed to be charged. Sentencing seems to be influenced by their current mental state though.
You can have empathy for a person who is clearly not well, and also recognize that their actions taken against an innocent woman were horrifying. Mary Ann didn't deserve to be murdered. It is possible to hold empathy for a person while also understanding and acknowledging that what they did was wrong. Feeling bad for one does not negate that you feel bad for the other.
Nah. I think you should be okay. Any sensible person can see that Andrew is clearly not in his right mind. What happened definitely warrants him being sentenced and imprisoned, but in a psychiatric facility, not a correctional facility. The man is sick and dangerous as a result of his condition. He needs confinement in a facility suited to treat him, not a cage.
My brother left Vietnam in 1969. He did pure coke. He believed he could forgive your sins. It was so scary. This went on for 3 days until we committed him to the veterans hospital in Muskogee Oklahoma. They kept him 45 days. On the 4th day he was my little brother again. He stayed on China white, herion, he brought it back from Vietnam. He got busted and never did herion again . He overdosed on 2 wafers of methadone. 1951 - 2002. Thomas Mark Plunk. I miss him so bad. Especially at Christmas. He got 14 metals in Vietnam. He was a helicopter gunner rip to my beautiful brother
That's sad, I'm guessing what ever he experienced over there broke him. And there's nothing you can do for someone like that no matter what you try. It's like they are bound and determined to kill themselves because they can't forgive themselves for what they did or didn't do. Even shit that wasn't there fault for something and just like surviving where many they knew died. I hope he rests easy now and was finally able to let it all go.
I pray your brother has peace now. I worked with a Vietnam vet for a few years. He’d be up working on the pole line in a bucket, a chopper or plane would fly over and he’d be yelling, dropping to the floor of the bucket hiding out and then into full battle mode. Sometimes it would end quickly as I was talking to him over the intercom and other times I’d have to just bring the bucket down while this was he was reliving his nightmare. War has broken so many soldiers. Much respect for never giving up on him.
Such a sad story. There NEEDS to be so much more professional help, after care & research done into helping mental health problems. I feel so much for u, I genuinely hope yr doing alright?!! I don't know how I would be in yr situation. Please take care of yourself 😌 All my love in the world! 💞💞💞
@DSUM right meth causes so called mental illness so I have no sympathy(don't touch meth and won't have so called "mental illness") so sick of these excuses for shit people. Smh. People just need to face the fact that not all people are inherently good.
@@Chrisisplaysadderall is possibly worse and is far more prescribed these days. I dont know a single person who was ever on ritalin yet I know literally dozens of people who were prescribed adderall at a young age and are still prescribed. Decent amount of them dabbled in cocaine and eventually meth at some point do to the tolerance they build from adderall and want to experience the same rush they got when first overdoing the drug
When I was institutionalized they fed me LSD gummie bears. And the asylum would have a talent show for all the Lunie Toons to perform there My special talent was fart the Alphabet. But sadly I never made it & completed it. I always seemed to shit when I came to the letter S During the pandemic, mental asylums were running short on toilet papers, so we would use orderly uniforms to wipe our butts of. One orderly loved to get his penis sucked by the inmates, so one day a guy pretended to please him, only to bite his nutsack off. His balls would literally slip out of his sack & fall on the floor. So the guy would steal his key, open up his celldoor, headed to the kitchen & made some delicious scrambled eggs from the guys balls. But they didn't really scramble all too well, they rather puffed up & became very solid. But theres nothing a little salt pepper & lemon juice wouldnt fix. So he went back just to devour the guards testicles in front of him. Oh, we did all kinds of shenanigans there. Good times....
I have held jobs at both a psychiatric hospital and at an ER. People can know what they are doing is wrong and yet not be of sound mind. It’s the voices, the hallucinations, the feelings of persecution, the absolute inability to stop what they are doing that begs for you to look deeper. Don’t get me wrong. The true victims are those that are taken advantage of, hurt or killed. But it is hard not to have some form of empathy for the mentally ill. Well, at least it is for me.
I think this is a great thing to mention because the law doesn't recognize it that way. If you know right from wrong then many times you can't be considered crazy. I don't get it.
That's the first video on that channel that I some empathy for the killer. He's what they call "legaly insane" I think. He genuinely believe it has to be done for some reasons, likely hallucinations.
@@tiffanyvanlengen4393Yeah, the only way when à "crazy" or insane défense is recognised, is when people don't know the right from wrong. Would it be hallucinations or psychosis.
Yea this reminds me of that lawyer who was just a normal person and then all of a sudden she had i believe was a schizophrenic episode and ran someone over and threatened to kill the cop in the interrogation room. That kind of stuff scares the hell outta me. Its not easy getting a law degree and passing the bar. She was intelligent and just a normal person and her head just changed one day. Im pretty sure the video im talking about is on this channel and yall might know what im referring to.
I completely agree. and its not just visual hallucinations its also tactile that means they FEEL hallucinations so they can literally feel like a devil is stabbing them and they cant stop for example most ppl dont get it i studied psychology for 20 years
Wow, this ENTIRE situation was just horrific for everyone involved, even Andrew. Yes, I said even Andrew. He had a wife and a daughter, was taking college classes and seemed to be a normal guy. Now that Andrew is in his right mind, he just lost EVERYTHING. I 100% feel HORRIBLE for the innocent woman who was so brutally murdered and her family along with the young deputy who was shot in his arm for just doing his job and can no longer work in that field b/c of his injury. I honestly can’t believe Andrew wasn’t found to be insane at the time of his horrific acts. I think there were too many people who wanted to see Andrew punished for the death of an elderly woman and the harm of a fellow Brother in Blue… otherwise he would have ABSOLUTELY been found INSANE and would be getting the help he really needs.
He was cognizant at the time which means he knew right from wrong. He even admitted it in the interview. There was no insanity defence. It's a legal term not a mental health term. But i agree with you. I think he should have got treatment not jail.
@@sheribrougham4863oh that’s total bs he was not in his right state of mind during that interview and the cops blatantly lead him to that conclusion with their questions.
Kinda, i mean they were responding to a 911 call where the lady was distressed .. so turning up finding noone is obviously guna cause a 'vibe'... it aint anything more than how you would react in the same sitch. Theres a small percentage of people where there is a disconnect between the brains ability to sense danger... obviously this is not a great trait to have going back in time where dangers were more common. Hence its rarity
@@mondop5270 not that simple, often the person could've just moved somewhere else safer for them. It's the combination of weird things like vehicles present yet place is empty, TV is left on, plates with food on them, door unlocked. With experience your mind picks up on the many subtle cues without you necessarily consciously being aware of it. As a cop he probably seen some shit, brain can combine the clues and be vaguely aware something is severely wrong before finding it. It's the whole "trust your gut", for experienced people your gut might just be instincts through experience
I've had my instincts kick in like this, here's a little personal experience I've had, I'll try to make a long story short (essay time lol.) It was around midnight at my old apartment, listening to my headphones blasting music on full volume as I do frequently, ruining my eardrums lol. Out of literally nowhere I felt an overwhelming feeling of dread and immediately stopped the music, something was off, like I just knew it, I was pretty drunk at the time too. I cannot emphasize how much I was not able to hear anything with the music playing; I heard no crashes or bangs, it was just sudden dread down my spine and adrenaline kicked in despite no real reasoning at the time, I was SCARED. I go to my living room, a man was trying to break inside through the kitchen window. His arms were already inside and he was trying to hoist himself in. I screamed at him to leave and get out, he bolted just like that, I dial 911, cops came and then left eventually after some long ass questioning. I lost track of time but once things calmed down and were over the sun was coming up. I couldn't sleep for the next two days, it was such a rush. I thankfully moved soon after since my lease was ending anyways. I've always been one to trust my gut, I'll take that experience as a testament to my instincts, pretty proud of myself.

My oldest brother suffered with paranoid schizophrenia and exhibited much of the same behavior as Andrew. Thank God it never resulted in a homicide. When I was young I was very angry with him; then one day I realized that the things he experienced were literally his reality. It was so sad and he lived a very troubled life.
Most of the time it won't result in homicide, it's actually very rare people with these kinds of mental illnesses to kill people, they just tend to get more attention when they do because it makes for a sensational story.
I spent a couple years working at night as a jail CO while I went to college. It's so incredibly obvious when someone is detached from reality, this guy is the real deal. It's almost impossible to fake, especially when you're around them for extended amounts of time. Andrew is absolutely insane. Wouldn't surprise me if this is long term effects of meth.
Or his drug addiction can be the result of living with mental health issues. Often suffering from those issues leads to the use of anything that will knock them out or stop their brain from thinking.
My own mother is a meth addict, and all of her friends are as well. All of the people with schizophrenia that she's had around me growing up, were already suffering mentally, and then abused drugs to try and gain control again. I am doubtful meth really causes schizophrenia. I feel it really enhances mental illnesses, and people let themselves go entirely.
@@Victoriaghh probably doesnt cause it (brain damage aside) but drugs can absolutely trigger latent schizophrenia in people who already have it and dont know or who are genetically predisposed which is arguably scarier. it's can be a completely random dice roll for some people, like, smoke a blunt and whoops now you have an extreme mental illness for the rest of your life.
How much I trust any body language analysis video is how much they caution against trying to make any sweeping or blanket statements ABOUT body language. Talking about baselines, considering context, etc gives me confidence that a channel is worth watching. This is one of my favourite channels on all of YT. I've heard people complain that everyone just wants TikTok videos these days, but I'm here for quality long-form content and EWU delivers.
I have a 33 yo son that acts like this quite frequently. He did have an episode where he took a knife and stabbed his wife’s hand. He “woke up” in the middle of it and stopped and took her to a neighbor and called 911. This started a cascade of horrible events and him getting locked up. He is out now and has descended into Meth hell. He can talk to you and suddenly start threatening you. I am afraid of him. He is a Veteran of the Army, he was a successful medic in Afghanistan. I think he got hooked on heroin there. I am so sad. I am in hiding from him, because he has threatened me several times. I wish I knew what to do. The VA know him by sight as a frequent flyer. He stays a while and then they let him go. It’s so sad.
Regina, find out about your local involuntary commitment laws and ready yourself. With the seriously mentally ill, it's no use lamenting that they have changed. You can either have them in your life and take responsibility for supporting them and getting them help, or remove them from your life to a safe distance. No other ways about it.
I’m so sorry to hear that ma’am. That’s really tough and a terrible spot to be in. I hope you, your son, his family, and your family get the support and help that y’all need. Is there anything the VA or any local authorities or organizations can do to help? I’d look into that. Much love to you from Texas. 💛
There are many things that could help but medical "professionals" today aren't actually educated that well about psychoactive substances. The best place to get advice about problems with drug use is online forums for drug users. There are subreddits on Reddit with users generally more educated than most pharmacists. For instance if you're really mentally messed up from drug use there are numerous supplements you could try to help repair your damaged brain, such as Lion's Mane Mushroom or Semax which is used in Russia to treat mental decline from alcoholism to great effect but weirdly is unheard of anywhere else.
Get him to rehab or preferably hospital, there’s a lot of drugs proven to simultaneously improve both aggression and physchosis aswell as drugs that can reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms.
At my very worst mental stage I was convinced I knew secrets I wasn't supposed to know and there was a group after me. I'd see them lurking around, always watching, like a warning to keep quiet. At one point I was convinced my mom had been switched out and was one of them. She had to call for help because I refused to let her get near me. I don't really remember much from this year, it's mostly been told back to me and I've read things I wrote down about it. I was 15 at the time and it was so scary. Yet, even though most of that year is like a dark spot, I can vividly remember seeing them watching me from a distance and constantly being terrified. I did feel like I had to do bad things to make them satisfied. I never got to the point of acting violent towards others but I was hurting myself badly and spent months in hospital. I swear to god I believed all of it. I did for years. My head's only been clear for 2,5 years
@@KMarr07 I honestly don’t know. I still have diagnosed delusional syndrome, but over the years the doctors have removed and added diagnoses so many times that I have no idea what is there anymore. I still see and hear things no one else does, but I can block it off into a separate headspace. Most people would say it isn’t real, the things I experience, but I really can’t deny them 😅 It’s quite complicated
@@siennaniall Thank you for responding. I'm surprised it's not schizophrenia but I guess who knows. I'm glad you are aware of this and have help, and mostly to agreeing to the help, my brother never did.😞
@@KMarr07 I might still have it. Health care in my country, especially mental health care, is really really bad. It took me years of forced therapy to get to where I am. I was 15 when I started showing symptoms, and I didn’t have a choice in the matter since I was a minor. I hope your brother gets to a point where he realised how much proper help does for you.
@@siennaniall Yes good mental health care is hard to get. Well good, keep working on yourself. My brother was found OD'd in his van, it's to late for him now. They would pick him up on the streets and hold him for 24 hours and then just let him go again. We tried Nomi and everything, like you said, it's hard to get help.
I have bipolar 1 and schizoaffective disorder. When I was 18,19, and 20 I was living on my own and working full time as a delivery driver. I had no diagnosis at the time nor was I getting any professional help. I don’t really remember what I would do daily, but I do know I was hallucinating often, with bursts of extreme fear and anxiety where I could either become paralyzed or extremely physically violent. I ended up being hospitalized and getting help after an encounter with law enforcement that I wont get into publicly. Long story short. Those officers saved my life and very likely the lives of others. They helped me get the help I didn’t know I needed. I think stigma and perception are the major reasons people with mental health issues don’t get help.
In addition, its a shame it usually takes extreme circumstances for people to get help. I don’t hate my parents or teachers, but there was definitely something wrong with me as a child that they had to have known.. ASD was a likely possibility, but I guess I just didn’t “look autistic”.
Society is waaaay to judgmental about mental illness and criminals. Probably most people in jail or prison have mental health issues but few get much treatment. Your lucky you had good cops that helped you. Of course if your a good looking woman your more likely to be helped than hurt. On an ugly man, cops often use excessive force and they get little help or sympathy in jail or prison.
@@caylieann1994 I have Bipolar II and schizoaffective disorder so I completely understand. My doctors thought I would live to see 30 and I just turned 57. I am completely open about my diagnoses, that include TBI (from over 22 ECTs that wiped out five years of my life and left me rebuilding my still suicidal brain from scratch) and PTSD. It's obvious we're a bit quirky! I want people to know we're not the stereotypes they fear, but their friends, neighbours, co-workers, etc. I don't going around announcing I take meds for a life threatening illness, but if it comes up in an appropriate place and time, I'm open to talking about it. Best wishes on the journey, sweetie.
How horrific to be aware that you can't rely on your own mind and how terrifying for that dear woman to encounter this altered version of him. Just heart breaking all around including the brave cop who was shot.
@@TheBaBaTVwell.. not all conditions affect people the exact same way. outside influences and factors play a huge role in how someone perceives a situation and reacts.. don’t be ignorant. in no way am i defending him, but the fact is that mental illnesses affect everyone differently.
I've experienced something like this. No harming of people but I was under a huuuuuge amount of stress in my life. I'm talking like I felt like my life was going in a hundred different directions. It was terrifying. I was hearing auditory hallucinations. I was so scared. My body would start shaking out of control. Mental health is no joke and I could have took a lie detector test and would have passed that's how real the situation was. I can't begin to tell u how scary it was. I finally got help. The whole experience opened my eyes completely. Now I have a completely different outlook in life. Stress is also no joke. If u know someone that is under a huge amount of stress please check on them cause that could be the time they snap. The brain is a very interesting thing to say the least.
Glad that you were able to find out what was going on with you. You're right, the brain and human body in general is a strange but complicated thing. Keep it up friend

Textbook psychosis. I had psychosis as well, I believed a pack of wolves was hunting me down because I was destined to save the world from unspeakable evil. I hid from the wolves at work and my boss was like "What's going on, why are you scared?" and I broke down and told him about the wolves that I saw and that same day I was brought into a mental hospital via ambulance and I am so grateful for that because I got treatment, my delusions disappeared and I learned to spot the signs of a psychotic episode and haven't had one since, whenever I see the beginning signs of it (paranoia for me mostly) I talk to my psychiatrist and we adjust treatment. Mental health help is so so so important! I feel so sorry for Marianne who just wanted to help the poor guy.

I've had drug induced psychosis before - it isabsolutely terrifying. I felt like someone was following me, that people were hiding in my bedroom and that my house had been bugged. I ended up wandering the streets and spent hours hiding behind a dumpster. Scary as hell.
Yeah, I accidentally puddled myself with LSD and I thought mantis aliens were trying to r-a-p-e and abduct me. Every person I saw was connected to/ working with the aliens. I ended up in the woods covered in mud and shit. Those damn mantises kept peeking at me from behind trees and they were talking to me the ENTIRE TIME through telepathy.
I’ve never been so deluded in my life but somehow it rewired my brain. I was in the midst of heroin addiction for a few years before this happened and when I snapped out of it I wasn’t physically addicted to heroin anymore. I had no withdrawals. Nothing.
Never used again after that ordeal.
Did anyone ask Phillip if he laced the joint with something?
what drug was it if you don’t mind me asking?
Good luck explaining your actions once its a drug induced psychosis. You are responsible, because they will say you took the risk taking the drug!
Ya meth is insane. Being up for weeks will make u insane
I am genuinely confused how any professional psychologist or psychiatrist ever found this man competent during his crimes .
Because we live in a world in which cases like this are considered cold-blooded murder; but some random mafia boss with a personal deathcount of 100+ people can go out on parole, bail or as an informant.
Yes, that result is shocking and another terribly sad part of this whole very sad story. He's clearly unwell and suffering from psychosis.
even if he was not competent, he still needed to be punished for it

He has demon possession. They take up residence in the mind.
I do hypnosis and remove them. Find a hypnotherapist that removes spirits. Once the demon spirit is removed, he will go back to normal. Best have family member go under and remove spirit through 3rd party, so demon isn't aware. They can leave and return later if they know.
5 suffering people underwent hypnosis, had spirit removed and they were cured.

He also said he hasn't had a drink in 5 days...which could mean he was going through severe delirium tremens from alcohol withdrawal and went into psychosis. Whats crazy is that he could actually have been sober for a few days which is what triggered the withdrawals.
Alcohol withdrawal can kill you, and combined with the Meth too I’m not surprised his brain was Fried
Exactly what I was thinking. Usually alcohol and drug withdrawl can throw people right into mental instability, or worsen their already poor mental health. Withdrawl is such a cruel beast.
He wasn't an alcoholic. 🙄
@@synergisticcollusion134 You do not know that. Many red flags pointed that withdrawal caused his psychosis and it exacerbated given his previous mental issues. He was drug tested (thoroughly in this case) and prescription's and other illegal drugs can stay in your system for MONTHS and he was negative) Alcohol however is different and only stays 12-24 hrs
When you suddenly stop drinking, you think you're clear in the first 2 days If no DT's or seizure occur. BUT the withdrawal goes into full over drive on the third to fifth day and can even go up to 2 weeks.
Im telling people this because not a lot know about this when they do drug test or autopsy with no drugs in the system. and usually they write it as stroke/heart attack to be the cause of death.
@@JohnnyHellraiser What made you think he had alcohol withdrawal? He specifically stated it was water he was lacking for 5 days, but I never saw any mention of alcohol in the entire video. Just an assumption? (Which is fair enough). I think he smoked Spice & was quite dehydrated (5 days could be exaggeration).
That deputy talked in the most "officer stumbling on a crime scene" way. Straight from a movie.
I have 31 years clean and sober and have met many addicts in recovery who have had undiagnosed mental illness and try to self medicate with drugs or alcohol or both. To me, he appeared to have a mental illness, but I'm not a doctor. So sad that an innocent woman was killed. My condolences to her family and friends.
so sad to hear that the injured deputy couldn't continue after being shot. Crazy how your life can change so drastically so fast.
I can't fathom what horror and fear that poor woman went through as she was killed. This is horrifying.
It's somehow more sad that she was killed for nothing. No rational motive, no actual reason, just a man whose mind has betrayed him.
Well not much since she was unconscious at the time of her death
Wasn't she knocked out?
@Zoe K I'm talking about the entire ordeal. A stranger, coming up to your home, in the dark,.wild eyed, assaulting you. Even if she was knocked out before she was killed, it was still terrifying. She still knew if she went unconscious, she most likely wasn't going to wake up.
@@Godbody_Gladiators arthur took a massive L that day
I have mental illness since I was a little kid and I'm being treated since I was 11. Although I struggle a lot still, I'm really thankful that I am being treated well enough so I don't end up this way. I stay away from drugs. Only medication, lately cigarettes (but I'm working my way out too) and every other month I have some beer. Never get drunk really cause I'm scared of could happen if I do get drunk. It's just... It's a struggle in many ways but I'm here to say I've never hurted anyone else besides myself and even that hasn't happened in over a year.
Mental illness are generally chronic and takes a long time to work through.
Just the other day I had an episode where we all thought it was a seizure but it was actually anxiety and stress. I hadn't slept in over 36h and hadn't been eating properly. When our mind is unstable, we need to balance everything else very carefully. So... Eat healthy, exercise, take meds, do therapy and SLEEP WELL. It makes a huge difference to everybody's life.

@@shimmer8289 Exactly!
The fact that he says "I haven't had a drink in 5 days" makes me think this could be a severe case of alcohol withdrawal. And the fact that the sedatives don't work only supports that theory.
Alcohol withdrawal is incredibly dangerous, for addicts going through it - and in cases like this, for those around them.
If the addiction is severe enough, or has been sustained long enough, psychosis can occur.
And the usual sedatives won't work specifically due to the alcohol addiction and withdrawl.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Astute observation.
Yes , I had the same thought about his comment on not having a drink in 5 days .I could be wrong of course but from what I myself have seen with anyone going through a withdrawal of drugs / alcohol and being given any sedative never works .I don't think that's totally it but maybe its a piece of what's going on.
I thought the exact thing had an ex partner that was alcoholic and smoked weed ect take his drugs away he wasn't to bad take his alcohol away and he would have manic episodes like he was possed by demonic entities and he was kinda scary. One night he jumped on my bed when I was sleeping with a knife to my throat said, tonight's the night your gona die.
I keeper calm in my head I was thinking wtf . I quickly Diss armed him by punching him so hard I knocked him of me to the floor ( I'm an ex boxer )
But my instincts kicked in survival mode had small children in other room.
No fucking way was I gonna let it happen. Anyway he kinda comes to and looks scared I said you what ? What you gona do to me bitch . I was holding the knife over him now. He simply said wasn't me was Victor. Victor was the aparent ghost he'd made up in his mind ( he akso heard voices)
Said it was him he made him do it.
To this day he sticks to the same story smirking as he blames Victor. I'm not with him no more , but he was very narcissistic and a alcoholic.and he would often have demonic episodes. He killed 2 rabbits a tortoise birds fish gid knows what other animals . He kicked my cats and dog always hurting animals .
He tried hurting me few times but I'm strong defend myself. But I never trusted him after that. Once I caught him drugging my friend and realised he was secretly poisoning me.
And it was always the alcohol withdrawal.
I mean he was fucked up already that just kinda set him of. He'd been drinking from age 15.
So I to beilive this guy was set of cos alcohol withdrawal.
He is a vile creature where. He ain't had a drink.
I've withdrawled from benzos and alcohol and Suboxone all at the same time with no help plus I had small children to look after lol you hit the nail on the head
I thought he meant water like he said at the beginning of the video. “I need a drink” “water?” “Yeah!”
Andrew reminds me of brother to a T! My brother is a paranoid schizophrenic with PTSD and Bi-polar. He's has episodes constantly like this. We've called the law on him more times than I can count. Every time, they just tell him to calm down, and tell us that there's nothing they can do because he's an adult and can refuse help. We've literally been told to call them when he either beats us or kills someone. We live in New Mexico, too, and you'd think that after this case they'd take severe mental break downs and delusions seriously, but NOPE. My Bro got shot TWICE last month, and the state just says that until he gets violent, there's nothing they can do 😡
Domestic laws in NM clearly state that the aggressor has to take the ride each call.... so something is off with your story. Either the LEO's aren't doing their job or your trolling or half-telling lies/truth
@bill smith i should probably explain the getting shot thing as I realized that I stated that with no explanation. One morning he tells my mom that he's going to walk to the gas station to get cigarettes. A couple of hours go by, and he hasn't come back. Not unusual for him, as sometimes he paces up and down streets talking to himself. Well, around 2 p.m., my mom gets a call from an officer that my brother's in the hospital and had been shot in the leg twice. Apparently he wandered onto someones property mumbling to himself and they shot him. They released him from the hospital a couple hours later. My family doesn't know what really happened that led up to him being shot because he just gives us some crazy story about it being Kanye West pulling a drive by one him. The shit he thinks that's reality is wild.
Crazy people should be locked up for life in a mental facility. Simple as that. They’re Not contributing members of society and even risk innocent people
Who gets to determine who is crazy? Perhaps your political views are deemed dangerous so you are now locked in a padded cell without being charged with any crime. Giving our government the power to imprison ppl without committing a crime is far more dangerous to public safety than the occasional schizophrenic meltdown.
@@renderz8435 And who determines "crazy", you want to give the government power to lock you up without a trial indefinitely, pathetic.
I've had paranoid breakdowns along with sleeplessness and panic attacks due to drug abuse during divorce process we were going through, and I can tell that I have been on the verge of insanity displayed here by Andrew. It was to the point that I was totally understanding with my mind that it was happening to me right now, but couldn't stop it at all. I called my cousin to stay with me and be near me all the time, while I was pacing around and breathing heavy. Those were the scariest couple of nights in my life and I quit drugs completely after that.
Lol couple nights😂

Glad you’re off that shit
Do you still get them after being sober?
SIUUUUUU
I live in New Mexico and honestly never heard of this. This has got to be one of the most insane murders ever, and we have a good amount. The part that really doesn't make sense is the professional Therapist said this guy was in a normal state when this happened and knew exactly what he was doing. There's no way, I beg to differ completely, this man was and is on his own planet!! Completely off his rocker, psychosis is an understatement. Bless the family's of the people who died during this ordeal, such a tragedy.
And that hack got paid $100,000 for that bogus diagnosis! It is so obvious that this guy has mental health issues and did drugs to self-medicate, but it made it worse. He even talks about it in his confession. I can't help but think that someone on the inside wanted this clearly insane individual diagnosed as sane so that he would just go to prison for an extended amount of time and not get any mental health assistance. He should have been sent to a psychiatric facility. RIP to the lady he killed. The entire thing is tragic.
I actualy live in Ruidoso Downs, no more than about 5 miles from that very police station. I remember this well as it was the talk of our tiny mountain town for some time. Some Crazy chit!!
so true he not normal that time crazy therapist i want he use drug how he do
People don't have any sympathy for substance abuse, and sometimes for understandable reasons. But I guarantee you that's why they determined he was "cognizant", it's because his state of mind was caused by drugs, which is a more sober decision that resulted in the incident.
Still, I feel like this SHOULD be treated differently than someone who plans and executes a murder without any other influence. It doesn't excuse someone if they got super high on meth and entered a state of psychosis, but that is NOT the same as a cold-blooded murder.
Abnormal Psychology text book example
This is honestly pretty heartbreaking to watch I'm an ex-addict clean 10 years and I had a schizophrenic drug addicted half-brother that I lost contact with and when I was a child before I started using I would sit and listen to his delusions and how afraid he was of everyone trying to get him. A little backstory his mom killed herself by shooting herself in the head and he found her when he was five, our father never got them help he turned to drugs and nobody's heard from him since.
Utterly heart wrenching 🙏🏼😢

Thats so sad. Im also an ex addict, even ive been sober just a few years, my life has turned around completely. My brother also was an addict and he died in my arms, he took an overdose. I was alone and tried to give him cpr 45minutes alone. It left scars on me and it took a few years to overcome that. Lost lots of other lives too. Mental health is something that should be taken seriously. Im happy that there are people who can leave that life and stay alive. Continue staying sober
@The books i've read I feel u bro. Gonna get my shit together now these than later an cut back
I can tell you right now with ABSOLUTE certainty , this was caused by his previous meth use. I literally went through the exact same thing except ) after being clean from ALL substances for over 3 months) then one day- snap! I thought my grandma was the one controlling everything... Thank God I didn't do anything stupid, but I did walk 15 miles to her house in the middle of winter and in the middle of the night to confront her.... Thank God, her and my grandpa and I drank wine and I fell asleep....
I eventually got tricked into go to ER for psych eval, after 2 weeks in the psych ward I was released to treatment ( even though I was clean for close to 4 months and the drug test in the ER confirmed this) my diagnosis- drug induced psychosis. I thought I was the son of God, people were out to get me, I was going to conquer the anti-christ, everything he said. It was SOOO real....
That also sounds like a hypomania episode with bipolar
It's got nothing to do with bipolar. Actually it's pretty common for psychosis (not 'bipolar') to include feelings of being god/son of God so on. It's incredibly dangerous and so awful for all people involved 😢
I'd put money on it that he was high on meth when he was at the police station before the hospital
Demons....you need God saved and baptized
@@mroselli they said they did a drug screen on him with his blood work and he only had weed in his system. No other drugs.
Since my spiritual awakening, and realising that negative entities do exist on a lower vibration, I have never looked after my mental health and vibration more in my life. What this guy did was so wrong, but I honestly believe that when you struggle with negative vibrations (depression, grief, fear, jealousy, etc, etc) really lower vibration entities can gain access to your spiritual body. I believe this is what happened here.
I hope that he gets the help he needs, but more than that, I hope that this lady’s soul is able to move onto a better place and that her loved ones are ok ♥️
My brother is schizophrenic. He talks similarly to this guy (probably even crazier).My brother has been in trouble for driving off with a guys truck while he was visiting his dads family. He just said he had to get out of there and it was a cool truck lol like I was the crazy one. That was when he was sixteen. It hit him at 14. Before that he was the coolest kid. Could play any sport, I couldn’t have girlfriends over because he’d steal my friend 😉😂. He was the best. He’s never been violent, but he can get upset. He has the biggest heart, he’s just lost. All the kids love him in our family. He plays and talks crazy, but kids forgive easier than adults do. In the back of my mind I do worry because of stories like this. I love my brother so much, I miss who he was, but have grown to love who he is now. I pray 🙏🏻 he never gets this lost, this far from reality.

My mom developed schizophrenia when i was a teen, the persecution type. It started with voices asking her to cut all the wires to stop people from spying on her. Then it turned into visual hallucinations, a shadow. That's when she started to get physical. She only slapped me once but she broke many things around the house. Only then it got possible to intern her against her will, because she became a clear danger to herself and other. She's okay now, with the medication. She owns her house and live life normally. I wanted to share this because, although this illness is very serious, its not the end and its possible to live a good life with a little bit of support. Also please, schizophrenic episodes are not rational and its not "only" because of hallucinations that they will act irrationally, so trying to reason with them is not the solution during a crisis. Its like banging on a concrete wall really, because there are chemicals in the brain that do not work properly or are unbalanced. Medication first, reason second, sad but true.
It’s depressing how little help and knowledge there is about mental illness. Almost every mental facility is horrible and the way they handle their patients should be illegal. I mean most people rather go to jail than a mental institution. That says a lot about how little care is given about that sort of thing. We should be funding studies towards mental health issues more than almost anything else. And these institutions should have regular checks to ensure they are taking the necessary precautions and care for every single one of their patients.
My mother got diagnosed with schizophrenia last year as a result of taking anti depressants. She had been depressed for 5 years prior and we decided to seek help from a psychiatrist. They prescribed her anti depressants. Us accepting that was the most horrible decision we’ve made thus far. Because within a year she became psychotic. So much so that we had to take her to a mental facility. In which they did not help her whatsoever, took our money (almost 20k) and sent her back home with no clear solution or communication. As a matter of fact, while she was there, we weren’t allowed to speak to her or whoever was in charge of supposedly helping her. It’s disgusting to me how horrible every single mental facility is. I’ve read reviews of so many after looking for a better option and they’re all horrible and follow the same patterns. Truly this needs to change. Mental illness shouldn’t be taken lightly. It’s a very serious issue and there should be more research done.
Usually they want to go to jail, cause they don't want the label "crazy" attached to them and because jail has a well defined timelimit (if you didn't kill a bunch of peeps), while a mental institution doesn't.
LOOK up the case of Thomas Chan from Peterborough Ontario. This guy should not be in jail. for 50 years or 37 years or w.e. it was. And thank you for your comment.
Spot on. I wouldn't say "every mental facility" but many of them around the world are corrupt. That is no reason to avoid getting help and it's very unfortunate your mother reacted like this to antidepressants (not a normal reaction), though they might not even have been true anti depressants. A better diagnosis BEFORE the antidepressant would help solve a lot of issues in the world of psychiatry, but they just LOVE throwing the antidepressants, benzos and antipsychotics at you BEFORE figuring out ANYTHING about you or what's wrong with you, and that is really, really bad, because pairing the wrong mental illness with the wrong pill can have devastating effects. Our approach to psychiatry in 2023 is pathetic worldwide, if not out outright inhumane and criminal.
@@simcul7847 I can't find what jail he is at. Anyway. I was gonna write to him, and tell him, I found a good case that's a better precedent than he has been aware of, and to try to get a new trail, or bring it up in front of an appeal council or something...
The reason he wasn't showing any remorse or understanding the severity of his actions is because he was still in the same mindset he was when he did those things.
How is "it all such a mystery" if he smoked weed? Weed is known to bring out schizophrenia in SPECIFICALLY males who are in late adolescence/early adulthood. Or, this could also be bipolar mania, and the meth use (which he lied about - hence his nonverbal indicators) counteracted the sedatives that he was given, allowing him to be combative in the hospital. Makes perfect sense to me. (P.S. I'm an MD-PhD who works in Psychiatry)
YES. This was the first thing I thought of and thought it was weird they weren't leaning into the marijuana use more. I worked in child and adolescent psychiatry and this was especially scary to see.
As one with bipolar, here is one of the problems for us. The PRICE of the damn meds! I was going to try to add Rexulti. $476! I am on disability due to my health (bipolar and physical). How in the HELL can we afford these meds? And yes I’m on Medicare. I also need migraine meds…over $400 as well. No one should have to deal with this. I mean diabetics, cancer patients, they need life saving meds. And some cost around $3000/ mo. I remember watching the movie Sicko and Michael Moore took some people to Guantanamo Bay for medication. One woman had cancer and her meds were astronomical. Going to Guantanamo, her meds were $10 USD. Just disgusting.
Guatanomo?
@@ssQ2U Cuba.
Our medications in Australia are cheap AF. Our government subsidises our medications. They don't let the pharmaceutical companies hike the prices up. What you guys go through in America is completely unfair and a big reason why your country is so fucked.
@@nickthompson1812 I know where it is lol seems like an expensive trip to me
Unfortunately that’s a USA thing. In most developed countries, there is some form of universal or subsidised healthcare. Thankfully I live in Scotland and don’t ever have to pay anything.
I had a guy that worked for me that dropped 26 hits of acid at a concert one weekend. Needless to say, it fried is brain for about a week solid. He never was the same again. The weird thing about it was, if anyone smoke marijuana with him, he would become extremely violent. He died at a very young age. Drugs overtook his life. He told me onetime that he talked to God and Satan during that time period. I believed him. I watch something like this and wonder if I am lucky to be alive.
Psychedelic are not for everybody, most people's don't have experiences like these if they safely measure their doses, 26 is an EXTREMELY high dose, considering 1 tab is potent
That's sad... There's a good chance it resulted in schizoprenia, which would explain why when he would get violent when he smoked. Schizoprenia is correlated to excessive dopamine amounts. Weed (THC) causes your brain to release more dopamine, likely causing him to almost immediately experience psychosis.
Some folks have no control over their own mental faculties in their lives.. which lead them to making more terrible decisions even worse than before, until it all culminates spiraling out I'll call it, of existence.
All of these substances are also having their own terrible affect. So weak faculties and reasoning on top of the actual effect of the substances just degrades the mind that much more.
@@Mary_Beth_Reimer After a week of not seeing him, I went to his house and his dad was beside himself. Wasn't sure what to so with him. I called around to some places and without insurance nobody wanted to help. We were able to get him 72 hrs at a hospital and they released him after that. He was still in a "zombie" state. I tried so hard with a couple of the guys that did work for me. It was a construction job. They worked hard and played harder. What a waste. I still miss the Jason that once was.

I never feel sorry for a murderer, but I feel sorry for this man, he seems really disturbed.
I saw this on Facebook and really felt the need to share it. I have NEVER seen a more perfect poem, written in the saddest way.
"I destroy homes, tear families apart - take your children, and that's just the start.
I'm more costly than diamonds, more costly than gold - the sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.
And if you need me, remember I'm easily found.
I live all around you, in schools and in town.
I live with the rich, I live with the poor, I live down the street, and maybe next door.
My power is awesome - try me you'll see.
But if you do, you may never break free.
Just try me once and I might let you go, but try me twice, and I'll own your soul.
When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie.
You'll do what you have to just to get high.
The crimes you'll commit, for my narcotic charms, will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms.
You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad.
When you see their tears, you should feel sad.
But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised.
I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.
I take kids from parents, and parents from kids, I turn people from God, and separate from friends.
I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride, I'll be with you always, right by your side.
You'll give up everything - your family, your home, your friends, your money, then you'll be alone.
I'll take and I'll take, till you have nothing more to give.
When I'm finished with you you'll be lucky to live.
If you try me be warned this is no game.
If given the chance, I'll drive you insane.
I'll ravish your body, I'll control your mind.
I'll own you completely; your soul will be mine.
The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed.
The voices you'll hear from inside your head.
The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see.
I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.
But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart, that you are mine, and we shall not part.
You'll regret that you tried me, they always do.
But you came to me, not I to you.
You knew this would happen.
Many times you were told, but you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.
You could have said no, and just walked away.
If you could live that day over, now what would you say?
I'll be your master; you will be my slave.
I'll even go with you, when you go to your grave.
Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not?
Its all up to you.
I can bring you more misery than words can tell.
Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell."

Thanks for sharing, made me weep. My 26 yr old niece is trying to recover from meth addiction, her 4 yr old daughter has been living with my sister, my niece's mom, at least a year now.
I've only ever done marijuana because I knew coke destroyed my aunt, and was taught in high school how addicting drugs can be. It's hard to relate on some levels. I don't understand why people choose to poison themselves. I'm going to keep this poem.
I hope everyone can find hope and recovery. 💕

I always wonder how many crimes like this could have been entirely avoided if we had affordable and easy to access to mental health treatment in America.
I almost cried when you showed his pictures with family 😢
I feel for this man. I'm crying throughout this video. I understand him.
Scary that there are people like this running around and not getting help
You must admit that it's heart-braking at the same time is that this dude believes his demons he's describing, along with the shifting to being super emotional and being torn and shattered is completely legit. Too many nuances to mimic for a messy mind, or even a pro IMO. He's a mess.
Ive been in psychosis 2 times once on shrooms and once on acid. Was very scary and ive always maintained that the worse part of it is not knowing you're there till you're not anymore.
Gotta have a good mindset to do those lol. Bad trips are a nightmare. Only happened to me once , scary af
@@PdronQ Yes!!! It is hard. I quit all psychedelics though after that last psychosis on lsd.
@@windedzero10_28 I'm just curious, what was your last psychosis? I had a really bad psychosis on my last LSD trip myself. One of the things I did was smashing a window open and almost passing out from the blood loss due to the glass shards in my arm.
The part with him in the hospital really reminds me of the patients that were on the psych units that I worked on. It can be incredibly sad and scary to see individuals with mental health challenges. And another great video with a fantastic breakdown on what is happening. Also, and unfortunately, I can personally relate to being psychotic and having paranoid delusions as a result of substance abuse that ended up with an altercation with the police. Fortunately, no one was injured other than myself. Thank you for the incredibly detailed videos!!! It's really awesome to learn a bunch of information!
@Bok Choy no, I have not heard or read anything about that. I do know that B3 (niacin) deficiency can lead to pellagra and that can have mental effects such as hallucinations.
@Bok Choy psychiatry and treatment of mental illness is still such a new and not well understood science. There is a lot to learn although the basic pathology of mental illness is somewhat understood. I’m not well read on the use of B vitamin supplemental. I know that with schizophrenia and mania, that is usually caused by an abnormally elevated level of dopamine and serotonin.
I’m glad to hear that you are doing better! I’m sure that having those intrusive thoughts were quite disruptive to your life and overall well-being!
@Bok Choy Yeah magnesium is good stuff. I take magnesium glycinate to relax, especially before bedtime.

Could you imagine being in jail for say a DUI then you get this guy as your cell mate 😮😮
This is all so horribly tragic: Andrew is clearly trying to make some meaningful connection with reality, and I think he's doing a fair job of it; considering he's in the midst of a psychotic break...
I experienced psychosis once, it lasted a few weeks and it was the most embarrassing and scary things to happen to me. As someone who has experienced psychosis and recovered 100%, I could not imagine what it would be like to come out of psychosis as a criminal, especially a murderer. That poor woman 😢
I just had the same thing happen to me. I came home from a friends house and ended up in the hospital two days later. Took about three weeks to get back to normal. A lot of people in my life still won’t talk to me from the things I texted and called and told them. I had a blood test done at the ER. It turns out I was dosed with a very powerful drug.
“You have to understand that I’m not crazy! (maniacal laughter)” 🤣
I worked in a psychiatric prison as a Sgt. For 15 years. You'd be surprised how the inmates in there seemed completely sane, but we're far from it.
cannot believe this guy is one day going to get released i would not want to be around when he does R.I.P. to the lady and my heart go's out to the family plus the officer just doing his job hope he made a full recovery much respect to you from the UK
I’m sure when he gets released he’ll be put on very strict probation like someone making sure he’s taking his meds, etc
He ain’t seeing the light of day again…
Living with Bipolar 1 I have been psychotic and institutionalised.
This is the kind of behaviour I've exhibited.
In the hospital I genuinely bellied demons were in the walls coming to get me.
It's HORRENDOUS 😭
I'm beyond thankful that I never hurt anyone when I was in that state.
I believed, genuinely, that I was God, yoda, mother nature.
And I had done (and still don't) absolutely zero drugs.
Having a brain that can turn on you is the scariest thing.
Was it just me or did you hear a woman respond in the beginning of the video? When the sheriff knocked on the door you can hear a woman’s voice reply yes? And he starts knocking again…. It was crazy
It was the ghost of the lady who got killed.
This is absolutely heartbreaking. When I was a child, my uncles wife un alived their three children, on what they say was a psychotic break. Raffie was just a new born infant, Phillip was almost a year old & Sarah was 2 years old. There were many signs before this happened, but I believe that the family just either didn’t recognize that she needed help, or didn’t want too recognize the problem. I often wonder how it could have been, if anyone would have offered her the help that she so obviously needed.
These type of people dont benefit from punishment/jail. He needs help.
I remember a time I overdosed on cough suppressant and had psychosis. It was terrible. The hospital left me strapped in a bed crying in the middle of the room and I thought everyone was looking at me and making fun of me. I hope we can get better mental health support in this country.
yep, got put into a temp hold (couple hours) until cleared, staff and guards mocked the patients. Places are shitholes where people wont get better (in the abusive ones not the actual functioning facilities)
DXM is fucked up mate
Maybe in 50 years or so
I’m so sorry you went through that 😢
Well don't overdose on cough syrup
This whole thing is awful and I think the guy that did the evaluation should have one of his own to think its OK to charge 100,000 to evaluate someone
The way he says “and when she talked to me it stopped but when she was done talking they kept possessing her back and forth….” Or whatever around 20mins Reminds me of acid, my first ever trip was like life was in the fast lane, everything my friend was doing was fast, whenever I went to pee (like 20 times it had to be) it was like I was putting life in 2x. But whenever my buddy Ed would say something (we were doing the trip in my room ended up playing 7 days to die console edition) about the game it’s like I was sober again, and then by the time he was almost done talking, even he started to speed up again. Kinda random but it made me think of that time and if anyone knows more about it than me lmk please! (TL:DR, the way this guys sanity almost kinda comes back when the coe ranch lady talks to him reminds me of how my sober-ness came back when my friend talked to me on acid.)
its so terrifying to think that any of us could be sick like this and not know until it is too late. He didnt know he had done anything wrong, he thought he did good and that is so scary. The human mind can be very fragile to trauma.
i’m schizophrenic & i always feel like the government is listening to my thoughts or that they are watching me through the tv or camera & i always get this weird feeling that something (ghost/spirit like) is in the other room stalking me. i sometimes feel like others can read my mind & that i’m the only person who’s actually alive everyone else is just playing a role or something that i can’t really explain it’s scary living like this everyday in paranoia but I’ve learned to live w it i stopped taking anti psychotics because they really didn’t do much for me & also made me gain a lot of weight especially when you take them while in the mental hospital because all you do is sleep & sit all day & have little space to actually walk around + they feed you heavy meals ugh i just can’t win!
I'm so sorry. I've heard how difficult it is to live with that. Much love to you ❤
I was watching one of your previous videos and noticed someone in the comments asked if you guys could put subtitles in your videos because its sometimes hard to hear what people are saying. I also noticed that you guys included them in this video. Its appreciated that you are taking the time to listen to the feedback and improve your videos. Doing a great job, thanks guys
Put closed captions on. I have to do that as well for everything I watch
@@shonamagouyrk9575 I use CC too and I’d bet that you know just as well as I do how bad those can be sometimes so that just makes it all the more impactful that they actually took the feedback and applied it by adding captions in some parts.

I wasn’t aware they didn’t really do this prior so it was nice to hear they began doing so after someone brought it to their attention.
Wait, haven't they always included subtitles in their videos?

Early intervention and mental healthcare is desperately needed in the United States
Who would've thought that violent acts and outbursts could be prevented if a person got or had access to mental help. A sane person doesnt drive a car through a crowd or shoot somebody.

People aren't allowed to suggest that your child may have some early issues that can balloon later. They take it as an insult and shun the idea. Then resent the kid.
My mother has schizophrenia. When I was a teenager she once tried to attack me with a stick for speaking too long on the phone and giving evil spirits control of me. Another time she was sure the neighbour was trying to kill her. Usually she just thinks they are conspiring against her... She's very stable on meds now, and thankfully was never strong enough to be an actual threat but I still get the chills. It was like there was nobody home. She also doesn't remember these episodes later.
Blessings and prayers to you both. Depth of your insights is greatly inspiring, so hang in there cuz your lovely mother needs n loves you ❤
That clearly shows you that they were demons why someone with not stable mental health always thinking about bad stuff or forgetting memories it’s always Bad and evil stuffs…but there’s two sides in this world bad and good
Good specifically goes withGOD
BAD -Evil
My mother is the same, tho hers was attempting to cling film wrap the entire house too keep invisible bugs out the house or they'd kill us lol
That’s so heartbreaking, but I’m glad she is stable now.
I have bipolar disorder (possibly schizoaffective but I never went back to the psychiatrist and actually don’t want it to be true)but I am on antipsychotic meds. But pre-meds…I’m not sure how I and the people around me remained unharmed.
I have had several “bipolar blackouts” in my lifetime and I never remember them in detail. And if I do remember, it’s almost like I’m hearing or seeing a story that someone else is telling.
I do believe some of these people are evil, though. And the mental illness makes it easier for them to bring it out.
@@monicabalucci1624No, it's because religion makes you fearful of this concept called demons and evil spirits. If you're having a mental health episode, your brain is reasoning must be caused by something supernatural like demons since there is no other explanation.
Stop calling these things demons and other religion related things. It's a disorder of the brain and calling them demons or possessed causes them to be ostracized and ultimately very depressed because they think they are bad instead of the fact that there is a defect in the way their brain is working
It’s almost refreshing to see someone who is actually crazy instead of pretending. It reminds me that not everyone is a liar, which I sometimes think is the case.
Notice you don’t see any of the usual “mental health is no excuse” bullshit in the comments. Interesting.
Ur not wrong. 95% is liars.

The judge on Friday initially issued a 51-year sentence but suspended six years, citing Magill’s mental health. Magill originally pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but a psychiatrist for the prosecution testified he was sane.

I never see police officers understanding mental illness and being patience and not treating them like they’re crazy even when they are. Huge props
Definitely one of the better investigators.
I cannot imagine being the guy that gave Andrew a ride, only to later find out what he had just done only a few minutes before. And he even said to the dispatcher that he didn't think he was dangerous at the time! I wouldn't blame him if he never stops to help anyone ever again!
I'm a volunteer EMT and was once on a call to a man driving through the area and was mentally altered. An officer was on scene, and while we were there the guy showed the officer he had a gun in the car. We transported the guy and he was released later that day after getting some meds he needed. Two days later he got in a shoot-out with cops in a different town and died. That was pretty disturbing
When I was a student I worked in a pub. An old guy came in twice a week. He had smiley eyes, always tipped and I thought he was a lovely old man. Then he was on the front page of the local paper - he’d been stopped in his car, which transpired to have his murdered girlfriend in his car boot for six weeks!
Scared the crap out of me! I mean, I enjoyed seeing him. He seemed lovely. Talk about missing the truth of the man.
No imagine being the first guy that gave him a ride and then dropped him before he went to kill the lady. If the guy had drove him to a police station this wouldn’t have happened. He didn’t even have to tell him he was driving him.
That's why you don't give strangers rides...

This is why we need better and more available drug treatment programs and mental health institutions! I worked in mental health for 25 years. We started to see more and more drug induced psychosis! We were only allowed to keep them long enough to " dry them out" then had to release them and refer them to out patient services which is a joke! There isn't much supervision on their status! There needs to be a better way!
The problem with that is drug addicts don’t quit doing drugs until they’re done doing drugs. They really need to get out there and suffer.

Sadly our government would seem to suggest they legitimately care the most for their own interest even before the very lives of their own people based on what that story has to say. The rate of addicts and drug incited incidents within the US are, at least in some part, just byproducts of such a sick system.

As a clinician I'm appalled the psychiatrist found him "sane".
Same. I have known about a case in Florida where the woman killed her husband, was declared insane and was locked up. Spent years back and forth begging for them to take her off meds because she wasn't insane anymore. And eventually was able to prove she was sane and the judge let her out. Probably because she was not bad looking and her they were millionaires. Point being, he is clearly insane and it was not him, and society doesn't have the capacity to understand what happens if someone is not in control of their own mind if they really are responsible for their own actions. Then the question of free will would be gone. So he had to get locked away and we can all pretend that's it.
As soon as I heard $100.000 I knew some shenanigans are coming.
no shortage of mental health "experts" in the us that cant tell their ass from their mouth
You that surprised ?😂 it’s America they give out these PhDs to anyone
Right! Unbelievable! And for $100,00.00! Tax money was wasted on a horrible diagnosis.
This is one of those stories where I feel bad for the victim and the killer. He clearly had a psychotic break and was not in control of his faculties, yet he killed someone gruesomely in cold blood. You can't let that go unpunished. Life in a mental institution seems the only reasonable verdict.
sorry, but i disagree. Life in prison but he can stay in the mental wing of the prison and then transferred to the general population if he's mentally stable enough.
I don’t feel bad for him, I’m only assuming but he did mention he does a lot of drugs, could it have been the drugs that caused him psychosis idk but he’s still needs to be pay for his crimes
Im not trying to be a dick, But I wonder if you would still feel sorry for the killer if you was related to the victim? This killer should be sentenced to death and immediately before somebody else suffers.
Nah. He will stay in prison where he belongs.
@@ThatsInsane2 that’s what drug induced psychosis is. What he was said to have when looked over by a psychiatrist

And didn't find any mental health "issues" beyond drug use? Are they sure he was a proper psychologist 😮

Yup. Reminds me of the young mom who saw her baby morph into a demon, so _to save her baby_ she decapitated her baby and ate part of his little body 😔 Her family members found the scene the next day, the 911 call is awful. But she really didn’t know.
He was spun out. Meth psychosis and demonic possession are synonymous
Oh but for the price of 100,000$, we now know he was under a drug induced psychosis even tho he wasn’t on any drugs. Not mentally unstable. Just playing crazy. SMFH
It is so heartbreaking that he called his Mum asking for help before any of this happened. Everyone should be educated about mental health, and early intervention services should have funding pouring in, especially at such a dark and tumultuous point in human history.
why do so many americans have mental health issues?
Poor woman :( I feel so bad for her, and her friend and family. She must have been so scared. Rest in peace, my dear.
Well she was unconscious when she got her head cut off so
That guy who gave Andrew a lift is so lucky. His good deed put him next to an axe murderer and yet probably saved him at the same time since he didn't seem confrontational and Andrew probably didn't feel threatened by him.
Fully agree. NEVER stop for someone on the highway who is walking the middle of the road, looking and acting crazy. They might actually need help, but they also could be a guy like Andrew or worse. Thats why call the cops IMMEDIATELY and don't stop by yourself.
He literally picked up an axe murderer. Too clichè ?
Omg I said the exact same thing and I saw your comment 💯 agree. If only he knew. I'm all about trying to help people but not at the expense of my life. Encountering an individual who is clearly unhinged is very risky, especially when they are displaying disturbing behaviour. It's better to get them help from a distance (i.e., call emergency services, etc).
You could say for a moment he was a ....... sitting....duck....
I was thinking the same thing. I half expected the officer to tell him, "hey it's not a good idea to pick up strangers at night because this guy just murdered someone."
I may get dragged over the coals for this but i feel SO bad for Andrew was well as the poor woman he murdered. I can't imagine the hell he's experiencing in his head. He truly thinks he had to do what he did. It's so scary. The fact that the psychiatrist found him sane is nuts to me
I was diagnosed with early onset skitzophrenia as a child and I'm 52, so this had literally been my worst nightmare my whole life!(That I would hurt someone while in a delusional state and "wake up" to this!) I definitely feel bad for everyone involved....there are no intentional villians in this story!
No one should drag you over anything for having empathy. I felt the same way. He was a mess and his drug induced mind had driven him crazy! I feel so bad for the officer and the Mary Ann’s family! So sad all the way around. Love and prayers to The victims and thier families❤
If my understanding is correct-the suspect only has to be deemed they were mentally competent at the time the crime was committed to be charged. Sentencing seems to be influenced by their current mental state though.
You can have empathy for a person who is clearly not well, and also recognize that their actions taken against an innocent woman were horrifying. Mary Ann didn't deserve to be murdered. It is possible to hold empathy for a person while also understanding and acknowledging that what they did was wrong. Feeling bad for one does not negate that you feel bad for the other.
Nah. I think you should be okay. Any sensible person can see that Andrew is clearly not in his right mind. What happened definitely warrants him being sentenced and imprisoned, but in a psychiatric facility, not a correctional facility. The man is sick and dangerous as a result of his condition. He needs confinement in a facility suited to treat him, not a cage.
My brother left Vietnam in 1969. He did pure coke. He believed he could forgive your sins. It was so scary. This went on for 3 days until we committed him to the veterans hospital in Muskogee Oklahoma. They kept him 45 days. On the 4th day he was my little brother again. He stayed on China white, herion, he brought it back from Vietnam. He got busted and never did herion again . He overdosed on 2 wafers of methadone. 1951 - 2002. Thomas Mark Plunk. I miss him so bad. Especially at Christmas. He got 14 metals in Vietnam. He was a helicopter gunner rip to my beautiful brother
That's sad, I'm guessing what ever he experienced over there broke him. And there's nothing you can do for someone like that no matter what you try. It's like they are bound and determined to kill themselves because they can't forgive themselves for what they did or didn't do. Even shit that wasn't there fault for something and just like surviving where many they knew died. I hope he rests easy now and was finally able to let it all go.
I pray your brother has peace now. I worked with a Vietnam vet for a few years. He’d be up working on the pole line in a bucket, a chopper or plane would fly over and he’d be yelling, dropping to the floor of the bucket hiding out and then into full battle mode. Sometimes it would end quickly as I was talking to him over the intercom and other times I’d have to just bring the bucket down while this was he was reliving his nightmare. War has broken so many soldiers. Much respect for never giving up on him.
Such a sad story.
There NEEDS to be so much more professional help, after care & research done into helping mental health problems.
I feel so much for u, I genuinely hope yr doing alright?!!
I don't know how I would be in yr situation.
Please take care of yourself 😌
All my love in the world! 💞💞💞
And your loser brother was never held accountable probably ever once in his life, he is probably better off where he is
I worked for V.A. for 30years mental health is no joke
.we made man mistakes. I'm very sorry 😞 prayers for 🥰🙏
Thanks! Definitely my #1 Crime Channel.
Mental health is no joke. Take care of yourselves people❤
True
@DSUM right meth causes so called mental illness so I have no sympathy(don't touch meth and won't have so called "mental illness") so sick of these excuses for shit people. Smh. People just need to face the fact that not all people are inherently good.
@@dsum or ritalin, which is based on meth compounds.
@@Chrisisplaysadderall is possibly worse and is far more prescribed these days. I dont know a single person who was ever on ritalin yet I know literally dozens of people who were prescribed adderall at a young age and are still prescribed. Decent amount of them dabbled in cocaine and eventually meth at some point do to the tolerance they build from adderall and want to experience the same rush they got when first overdoing the drug
When I was institutionalized they fed me LSD gummie bears.
And the asylum would have a talent show for all the Lunie Toons to perform there
My special talent was fart the Alphabet. But sadly I never made it & completed it.
I always seemed to shit when I came to the letter S
During the pandemic, mental asylums were running short on toilet papers, so we would use orderly uniforms to wipe our butts of.
One orderly loved to get his penis sucked by the inmates, so one day a guy pretended to please him, only to bite his nutsack off.
His balls would literally slip out of his sack & fall on the floor.
So the guy would steal his key, open up his celldoor, headed to the kitchen & made some delicious scrambled eggs from the guys balls.
But they didn't really scramble all too well, they rather puffed up & became very solid. But theres nothing a little salt pepper & lemon juice wouldnt fix.
So he went back just to devour the guards testicles in front of him.
Oh, we did all kinds of shenanigans there.
Good times....
I have held jobs at both a psychiatric hospital and at an ER. People can know what they are doing is wrong and yet not be of sound mind. It’s the voices, the hallucinations, the feelings of persecution, the absolute inability to stop what they are doing that begs for you to look deeper. Don’t get me wrong. The true victims are those that are taken advantage of, hurt or killed. But it is hard not to have some form of empathy for the mentally ill. Well, at least it is for me.
I think this is a great thing to mention because the law doesn't recognize it that way. If you know right from wrong then many times you can't be considered crazy. I don't get it.
That's the first video on that channel that I some empathy for the killer. He's what they call "legaly insane" I think. He genuinely believe it has to be done for some reasons, likely hallucinations.
@@tiffanyvanlengen4393Yeah, the only way when à "crazy" or insane défense is recognised, is when people don't know the right from wrong. Would it be hallucinations or psychosis.
Yea this reminds me of that lawyer who was just a normal person and then all of a sudden she had i believe was a schizophrenic episode and ran someone over and threatened to kill the cop in the interrogation room.
That kind of stuff scares the hell outta me. Its not easy getting a law degree and passing the bar. She was intelligent and just a normal person and her head just changed one day.
Im pretty sure the video im talking about is on this channel and yall might know what im referring to.
I completely agree. and its not just visual hallucinations its also tactile that means they FEEL hallucinations so they can literally feel like a devil is stabbing them and they cant stop for example most ppl dont get it i studied psychology for 20 years
Wow, this ENTIRE situation was just horrific for everyone involved, even Andrew. Yes, I said even Andrew. He had a wife and a daughter, was taking college classes and seemed to be a normal guy. Now that Andrew is in his right mind, he just lost EVERYTHING. I 100% feel HORRIBLE for the innocent woman who was so brutally murdered and her family along with the young deputy who was shot in his arm for just doing his job and can no longer work in that field b/c of his injury. I honestly can’t believe Andrew wasn’t found to be insane at the time of his horrific acts. I think there were too many people who wanted to see Andrew punished for the death of an elderly woman and the harm of a fellow Brother in Blue… otherwise he would have ABSOLUTELY been found INSANE and would be getting the help he really needs.
Robyn, love your monogram. !! 😊
He was cognizant at the time which means he knew right from wrong. He even admitted it in the interview. There was no insanity defence. It's a legal term not a mental health term. But i agree with you. I think he should have got treatment not jail.
@@sheribrougham4863oh that’s total bs he was not in his right state of mind during that interview and the cops blatantly lead him to that conclusion with their questions.
The responding officers instincts were spot on. It's incredible how humans can pick up on vibes like that
Kinda, i mean they were responding to a 911 call where the lady was distressed .. so turning up finding noone is obviously guna cause a 'vibe'... it aint anything more than how you would react in the same sitch. Theres a small percentage of people where there is a disconnect between the brains ability to sense danger... obviously this is not a great trait to have going back in time where dangers were more common. Hence its rarity
@@mondop5270 not that simple, often the person could've just moved somewhere else safer for them.
It's the combination of weird things like vehicles present yet place is empty, TV is left on, plates with food on them, door unlocked.
With experience your mind picks up on the many subtle cues without you necessarily consciously being aware of it. As a cop he probably seen some shit, brain can combine the clues and be vaguely aware something is severely wrong before finding it.
It's the whole "trust your gut", for experienced people your gut might just be instincts through experience
Funny thing is, the pattern recognition behind that may also be why the psychotic guy was experiencing what he was experiencing.
I've had my instincts kick in like this, here's a little personal experience I've had, I'll try to make a long story short (essay time lol.) It was around midnight at my old apartment, listening to my headphones blasting music on full volume as I do frequently, ruining my eardrums lol. Out of literally nowhere I felt an overwhelming feeling of dread and immediately stopped the music, something was off, like I just knew it, I was pretty drunk at the time too. I cannot emphasize how much I was not able to hear anything with the music playing; I heard no crashes or bangs, it was just sudden dread down my spine and adrenaline kicked in despite no real reasoning at the time, I was SCARED. I go to my living room, a man was trying to break inside through the kitchen window. His arms were already inside and he was trying to hoist himself in. I screamed at him to leave and get out, he bolted just like that, I dial 911, cops came and then left eventually after some long ass questioning. I lost track of time but once things calmed down and were over the sun was coming up. I couldn't sleep for the next two days, it was such a rush. I thankfully moved soon after since my lease was ending anyways. I've always been one to trust my gut, I'll take that experience as a testament to my instincts, pretty proud of myself.
WARNING!!!! HELL IS REAL!!!!! Where will you go when you die, Heaven or Hell? We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus Christ loves you and He died for your sins. If we will repent of our sins and put our trust and faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we will be saved from Hell. Mark 1:15 Repent and believe in the gospel.
My oldest brother suffered with paranoid schizophrenia and exhibited much of the same behavior as Andrew. Thank God it never resulted in a homicide. When I was young I was very angry with him; then one day I realized that the things he experienced were literally his reality. It was so sad and he lived a very troubled life.
oh yes, thank your amazing God you 🐑🐑
That must’ve been hard on you too.❤
Most of the time it won't result in homicide, it's actually very rare people with these kinds of mental illnesses to kill people, they just tend to get more attention when they do because it makes for a sensational story.
@@moeruss2726 who killed your mother and grandmother? What?
Is your brother still with us?
I spent a couple years working at night as a jail CO while I went to college. It's so incredibly obvious when someone is detached from reality, this guy is the real deal. It's almost impossible to fake, especially when you're around them for extended amounts of time. Andrew is absolutely insane. Wouldn't surprise me if this is long term effects of meth.
Or his drug addiction can be the result of living with mental health issues. Often suffering from those issues leads to the use of anything that will knock them out or stop their brain from thinking.
That last sentence is so unnecessary. He's obviously mentally ill and obviously uses drugs to cope
@@joborn1204 touché
My own mother is a meth addict, and all of her friends are as well. All of the people with schizophrenia that she's had around me growing up, were already suffering mentally, and then abused drugs to try and gain control again. I am doubtful meth really causes schizophrenia. I feel it really enhances mental illnesses, and people let themselves go entirely.
@@Victoriaghh probably doesnt cause it (brain damage aside) but drugs can absolutely trigger latent schizophrenia in people who already have it and dont know or who are genetically predisposed which is arguably scarier. it's can be a completely random dice roll for some people, like, smoke a blunt and whoops now you have an extreme mental illness for the rest of your life.
How much I trust any body language analysis video is how much they caution against trying to make any sweeping or blanket statements ABOUT body language. Talking about baselines, considering context, etc gives me confidence that a channel is worth watching. This is one of my favourite channels on all of YT. I've heard people complain that everyone just wants TikTok videos these days, but I'm here for quality long-form content and EWU delivers.
I hate TikTok
NEVER IN MY LIFE I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD TIKTOK.
and why ppl download tiktok if youtube have shorts videos.
@@mirfangu i guess they just want the chinese government to know all of their details.
I don't like TikTok either but ya'll are some NPCs
Bruh that one cop standin on business 😂😂 7:47
I have a 33 yo son that acts like this quite frequently. He did have an episode where he took a knife and stabbed his wife’s hand. He “woke up” in the middle of it and stopped and took her to a neighbor and called 911. This started a cascade of horrible events and him getting locked up. He is out now and has descended into Meth hell. He can talk to you and suddenly start threatening you. I am afraid of him. He is a
Veteran of the Army, he was a successful medic in Afghanistan. I think he got hooked on heroin there. I am so sad. I am in hiding from him, because he has threatened me several times. I wish I knew what to do. The VA know him by sight as a frequent flyer. He stays a while and then they let him go. It’s so sad.
Regina, find out about your local involuntary commitment laws and ready yourself. With the seriously mentally ill, it's no use lamenting that they have changed. You can either have them in your life and take responsibility for supporting them and getting them help, or remove them from your life to a safe distance. No other ways about it.
i hope you’re doing well from a 17 year old from australia 💙💙
I’m so sorry to hear that ma’am. That’s really tough and a terrible spot to be in. I hope you, your son, his family, and your family get the support and help that y’all need. Is there anything the VA or any local authorities or organizations can do to help? I’d look into that. Much love to you from Texas. 💛
There are many things that could help but medical "professionals" today aren't actually educated that well about psychoactive substances. The best place to get advice about problems with drug use is online forums for drug users. There are subreddits on Reddit with users generally more educated than most pharmacists.
For instance if you're really mentally messed up from drug use there are numerous supplements you could try to help repair your damaged brain, such as Lion's Mane Mushroom or Semax which is used in Russia to treat mental decline from alcoholism to great effect but weirdly is unheard of anywhere else.
Get him to rehab or preferably hospital, there’s a lot of drugs proven to simultaneously improve both aggression and physchosis aswell as drugs that can reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms.
At my very worst mental stage I was convinced I knew secrets I wasn't supposed to know and there was a group after me. I'd see them lurking around, always watching, like a warning to keep quiet. At one point I was convinced my mom had been switched out and was one of them. She had to call for help because I refused to let her get near me. I don't really remember much from this year, it's mostly been told back to me and I've read things I wrote down about it. I was 15 at the time and it was so scary.
Yet, even though most of that year is like a dark spot, I can vividly remember seeing them watching me from a distance and constantly being terrified.
I did feel like I had to do bad things to make them satisfied. I never got to the point of acting violent towards others but I was hurting myself badly and spent months in hospital.
I swear to god I believed all of it. I did for years. My head's only been clear for 2,5 years
Was it schizophrenia? I'm glad you're doing well.
@@KMarr07 I honestly don’t know. I still have diagnosed delusional syndrome, but over the years the doctors have removed and added diagnoses so many times that I have no idea what is there anymore. I still see and hear things no one else does, but I can block it off into a separate headspace. Most people would say it isn’t real, the things I experience, but I really can’t deny them 😅 It’s quite complicated
@@siennaniall Thank you for responding. I'm surprised it's not schizophrenia but I guess who knows. I'm glad you are aware of this and have help, and mostly to agreeing to the help, my brother never did.😞
@@KMarr07 I might still have it. Health care in my country, especially mental health care, is really really bad. It took me years of forced therapy to get to where I am. I was 15 when I started showing symptoms, and I didn’t have a choice in the matter since I was a minor. I hope your brother gets to a point where he realised how much proper help does for you.
@@siennaniall Yes good mental health care is hard to get. Well good, keep working on yourself. My brother was found OD'd in his van, it's to late for him now. They would pick him up on the streets and hold him for 24 hours and then just let him go again. We tried Nomi and everything, like you said, it's hard to get help.
I have bipolar 1 and schizoaffective disorder. When I was 18,19, and 20 I was living on my own and working full time as a delivery driver. I had no diagnosis at the time nor was I getting any professional help. I don’t really remember what I would do daily, but I do know I was hallucinating often, with bursts of extreme fear and anxiety where I could either become paralyzed or extremely physically violent. I ended up being hospitalized and getting help after an encounter with law enforcement that I wont get into publicly. Long story short. Those officers saved my life and very likely the lives of others. They helped me get the help I didn’t know I needed. I think stigma and perception are the major reasons people with mental health issues don’t get help.
In addition, its a shame it usually takes extreme circumstances for people to get help. I don’t hate my parents or teachers, but there was definitely something wrong with me as a child that they had to have known.. ASD was a likely possibility, but I guess I just didn’t “look autistic”.
U must be lots of fun
Society is waaaay to judgmental about mental illness and criminals. Probably most people in jail or prison have mental health issues but few get much treatment. Your lucky you had good cops that helped you. Of course if your a good looking woman your more likely to be helped than hurt. On an ugly man, cops often use excessive force and they get little help or sympathy in jail or prison.
@@caylieann1994 I have Bipolar II and schizoaffective disorder so I completely understand. My doctors thought I would live to see 30 and I just turned 57. I am completely open about my diagnoses, that include TBI (from over 22 ECTs that wiped out five years of my life and left me rebuilding my still suicidal brain from scratch) and PTSD.
It's obvious we're a bit quirky! I want people to know we're not the stereotypes they fear, but their friends, neighbours, co-workers, etc. I don't going around announcing I take meds for a life threatening illness, but if it comes up in an appropriate place and time, I'm open to talking about it.
Best wishes on the journey, sweetie.
@@QueensKnight1 I know I am.
How horrific to be aware that you can't rely on your own mind and how terrifying for that dear woman to encounter this altered version of him. Just heart breaking all around including the brave cop who was shot.
How do you come to the insight that he was brave?
@@Armor3d0ne well the fact that he went up against someone with a gun, dont think you would do that but id consider that brave
Nah… I know plenty of people with the same condition who are NEVER violent ! That’s an excuse ! Lock em up in prison throw away keys no sympathy !
@@TheBaBaTVwell.. not all conditions affect people the exact same way. outside influences and factors play a huge role in how someone perceives a situation and reacts.. don’t be ignorant. in no way am i defending him, but the fact is that mental illnesses affect everyone differently.
A Q
When that man who gave him a ride heard about this, I bet his idea on picking up strangers has changed!!!!
I've experienced something like this. No harming of people but I was under a huuuuuge amount of stress in my life. I'm talking like I felt like my life was going in a hundred different directions. It was terrifying. I was hearing auditory hallucinations. I was so scared. My body would start shaking out of control. Mental health is no joke and I could have took a lie detector test and would have passed that's how real the situation was. I can't begin to tell u how scary it was. I finally got help. The whole experience opened my eyes completely. Now I have a completely different outlook in life. Stress is also no joke. If u know someone that is under a huge amount of stress please check on them cause that could be the time they snap. The brain is a very interesting thing to say the least.
If you are mentally fragile enough that you "snap", you should be locked away from the general public.
Are you willing to share what kind of stress you had to endure? Was it work related?
i wish more people were understanding of this matter. i agree with you fully. i can relate
Thank you Joey.
Glad that you were able to find out what was going on with you. You're right, the brain and human body in general is a strange but complicated thing. Keep it up friend
I can’t imagine how the Good Samaritan felt once he fully understood what was going on with Andrew that night. He survived a 10 mile drive with Andrew right In between a murder and shooting that police officer. Guy was beyond lucky that night.
He didn’t have any negative attitude towards him. He was just kind
@Witty Witty but it’s very difficult to prove it in court.
This man is very lucky to be alive! Never pick up a stranger. Call law enforcement and they can help them.
@Witty Witty i wholeheartedly disagree with your statement 👎
@Witty Witty if that woman was your mom you would not feel that way too. such a barbaric death. if that guy is possessed by the devil then let’s call him the devil. if it quacks like a duck it’s a duck.
