We are going through this with my 19 yr old daughter right now. She was recently hospitalized because the doctor thought she was in psychosis because she thought she had cancer, she thought she was autistic, and she thought she was bisexual, and her distress over all of this caused a mental breakdown. Was in the hospital for 1.5 weeks and was diagnosed with psychotic disorder not specified and put on Abilify. Once she came home, it because very clear to us that she was experiencing OCD and intrusive thoughts for the first time. How do we know? We know because her older brother is diagnosed with OCD and we have spent the past 5 years living with this disorder 24/7. We know this beast well. The nurses at the hospital thought she was hallucinating because when they asked her if she was hearing voices, she said yes. However, when we asked her about it, she told us that the voice was hers and in her head, not the voice of someone else in the room. My son immediately went “that’s OCD!”. The bisexual thing has stuck, and even just saying the word bisexual causes her anxiety and she keeps checking with for assurance….for example “I was always straight, right?”, “I never liked girls, right?”. “What if I am bisexual but just in denial?”. We see the hospital psychiatrist on Tues for a followup (been home for 3 weeks) and I am desperate to get her help for the OCD. I really hope the doctor listens to us.
I have schizophrenia (it's definitely schizophrenia) and I was put Abilify and I developed intense intrusive thoughts with mental rituals. It was terrible on top of my schizophrenia. I lived with that for years until I was switched to Invega and the intrusive thoughts and mental compulsions gradually calmed down to where I only have them rarely now. The reassurance seeking disappeared. I feel for people with OCD, it was almost as bad as the schizophrenia for me and the two fueled each other. They interact and it's hell on earth.
@@S1234-b6lI'm sorry you have to go through themes I hope you can find solace soon,I'm watching this video out of compulsion and I definitely have "going crazy" ocd,I'm gonna stop watching it now thank you for saying it was triggering and warning me
Hello. My name is Angie and I am from Peru. I'm 25 now, but when I was 13 I had a similar episode. I came to think that I liked women and that thought tormented me a lot. One day I started breaking all the things because I couldn't handle the anguish anymore. My mother took me to a psychiatric hospital where I didn't tell the doctor what was happening to me for fear of being thought crazy. By the way, my grandmother and my aunt had schizophrenia. What helped me? God. I started going to a church where they read the word of God and that calmed me down a lot. As time went by, I forgot about those ugly thoughts and began to be freer. Friend, pray to God for your daughter, those things are demonic. Jesus Christ will set her free as he did with me. Now I go to the Catholic Church, I participate in the Eucharist which is Jesus Christ himself. Go ahead with everything you are doing, but seek God. I know that in Europe and the US they don't usually believe in God, but I swear it's real. Now that I find out more about these cases of OCD, the more I realize that this is from the devil. I love you. I know how ugly it is, but don't lose faith. I will pray for you ❤❤
People with OCD tend to know that the fear is meaningless, although they reassure because of their activation of amygdala,not the consciousness of their fear is unknown.
For me its like the schizophrenia started up the ocd intrusive thoughts then after a hit to the head i lost the ability to hear my voice in my head wich made ocd ruminations worse cause it's like someone can hear my automatic intrusive thoughts more than i can then it's more scary
As far as I know OCD can't turn into schizophrenia. Because it's impossible that you've been afraid of schizophrenia for a long time and then suddenly get schizophrenia. Crazy people aren't afraid of being crazy. It's just that many websites say that neurosis can turn into psychosis. But how is it possible if neurosis and psychosis are absolutely two different disorders, either you have recognized psychosis, or you just have a very strong anxiety. Don't you?
I have OCD that is called pure o OCD meaning most of your compulsions are mental compulsions. I also have "quasi hallucinations" meaning you know they aren't real but it feels strongly like they are to the point you feel like you almost do believe it. I have been told my OCD includes a few schizophrenic features; that is known as "unspecified psychotic disorder" because I don't meet the full diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia. it is a co morbid condition that is debilitating.
@@taylormatthews3767 my quasi hallucinations are that objects are moving my way and watching me and I feel they are seeing my thoughts and know what I am thinking. when outrageous OCD thoughts enter my mind I feel everything around me sees it and hears it it is humiliating and scary. I take Abilify to manage it.

I definitely have a lot of paranoia due to the content of intrusive thoughts, but I don't think it overlaps into schizophrenia.
I have schizophrenia (it's definitely schizophrenia) and I was put Abilify and I developed intense intrusive thoughts with mental rituals. It was terrible on top of my schizophrenia. I lived with that for years until I was switched to Invega and the intrusive thoughts and mental compulsions gradually calmed down to where I only have them rarely now. The reassurance seeking disappeared. I feel for people with OCD, it was almost as bad as the schizophrenia for me and the two fueled each other. They interact and it's hell on earth.
As someone who suffers from ocd and has an extreme fear of developing schizophrenia this video was very triggering.
its the same for me. It goes away for awhile and then come back. Its awful.
@@mrvocal21 it’s terrible! This theme has eased up for me but unfortunately, I feel like a worst one has replaced it
