    I'm convinced the people who are trying to help people who suffer from mental illnesses are angels.

    My dad has never been able to accept it. He once picked me up at a funeral and asked why I wasn't crying. It's like, focus on your son and give up on me. It's over. What you did was wrong, but you've healed. My mom kept trying to get me help, but it was impossible. I joined the army and had a major relapse. It had waned a bit before. The stress destroyed me. My brain was completely destroyed then.

    This was a great opportunity for me as a Mother to learn more about my son. he is 21 now and doing very well now. he has been to drs since he was 17. He started having difficutly at the age of 12, My son said but it was later like 15. He has some hard knocks in life but he had a great home life. My son is on 5 types of medication and has been on it for 2 years. He was actually diagnosed with OCD first, later it was Bi Polar NOS. and schizotypal.

    finally someone gets the sensory "hallucination"right, i learned how to focus my senses and concentration to tell that all these stuff arent hallucinations. schizophrenia doesnt cause hallucinations and delusions, but the person might get so paranoid they start to hallucinate and become delusional during psychosis. aside from that there are adrenal senses. this is the best educational video i've seen on schizophrenia i have it and the more i learn the less i seem to know.

    I do think there needs to be an equal emphasis on therapy, which has decreased in recent years. I also think there is leeway medication-wise with illnesses like depression, but I've never heard of a viable treatment for psychosis that doesn't incorporate medication in some way. I think there is a lack of public understanding on how mental illnesses need to be thought of more like chronic disease. Medications for illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, etc.

    I was in a group home with this one guy who had schizophrenia really, really bad. You couldn't even carry a conversation with him. He did tell me one time that he wished happy people would drink frog piss and die. My schizophrenia doesn't show up until I try to use higher thinking or talk for a prolonged time, which is why I prefer to type. My teacher doesn't understand my associations, and I'm making a low "B" in his class. I have to work extra hard to talk to humans. Unlettered people think I'm poetic, deep and abstract. Unfortunately, my teachers know better. I'm wondering if I've progressed to having an old disorder they don't talk about anymore, which is simple schizophrenia.

    I can't believe how old this video is but it is like dead on what's happening to me right now. I'm fucking floored by how he is saying what I'm feeling and describing my symptoms in a way I can understand because nothing is really making sense to me especially myself. I'm paranoid, I'm having a visual hallucination for days now.. So many other things that are said in this video. I'm writing down in my journal as best I can but it makes my feelings intensify because I can't write clearly and.. God is anyone else feelings like this right now? I'm afraid to talk to my friends or anyone because I am afraid of what I sound like. I'm afraid they will judge me or something.

    It is not a matter of either ,or,because we now know that prolonged stress can alter the wiring and biochemistry of the body and brain,making it more difficult for the brain to screen out excess sensory

    Good to learn a bit more about this fucking God-awful illness, i've had it since I was six and i'm extremely paranoid, i've started hallucinating now, for example just random, long-dead family members popping up in the street, if I attempt to talk to them, people look at me like i'm batshit insane. Same happens with horror movie creatures like zombies or aliens. Also, I hear about three voices, all of them contribute to the mass paranoia.

    can potentially cause significant physical damage, but are still very necessary. Much of the stigma of mental illness is rooted in misconceptions about how much control we have over our minds. You wouldn't ask a diabetic to will themselves out of insulin resistance, and I feel the same mindset should apply to mental illness.

    Listenin to what this guy is sayin at 2am about outside noises an shit, gives me another reason why i just wish I could move, livin in a apartment is too much for me now, for over a year I've been too scared basically of my neighbors to take out trash so I've become a hoarder an I can't sleep at night cause the people upstairs stay up all night an stomp all over the floor an vacuum at night an every noise just pisses me off now an makes me feel gross, constant doors closin an openin, people leavin papers on my door, knockin on my door, it all gives me so much dang anxiety, I stopped workin where I was too from not wantin to touch the " clock " so I just left notes an they thought I quit, I guess I went off the deep end on that one, now I gotta find a new job, I gotta clean my hoarded apartment an buy new light bulbs also so I can clean cause all the lights in my apartment don't work no more, I guess I've become a hermit, I don't even like goin to the stores anymore, I pretty much only go to the same gas station an just wait for everyone to leave before I go in just so I'm alone because I have a serious pet peev where I hate when people can't wait a moment for me to leave the counter an get my stuff before comin up next to me an up on me an my stuff stresses me out so bad I gotta wash my dang hands to feel normal again an relieve my stress, I gotta get my hoarded ass place together tomorrow an get these gnats gone cause I'm losin it.

    I'm sorry you feel like that. I used to be like you. Not that I'm thrilled and shining now every day, but behind daily problems and frustrations, life has beauty in small details and messages. You have to look for ways to find those beautiful things...

    I haven't watched this video yet but I've read that schizophrenia is linked to differences in the brain from birth, hereditary or not (because you don't have to have a close relative with schizophrenia to get it), such as wiring mis-connections or other physical differences in brain anatomy. It is possibly linked to smaller brain size and bigger ventricles, but they don't know if that is actually caused by the medication.
