head up on your pychosis criteria. -mobbing bullying from coworkers causes one to be worried about cruel, unrelenting gossip and lies about one's character (not psychosis) -being a scapegoat in a family means u are rejected when you don't give the abusers in the family your admiration and subservience (not psychosis) Most of therapists have no idea how to or what they are dealing with - they get hurt deeply in this process - I know a few who had to get out - they got trauma now
seriously - to have someone like me who was exposed to torture as a child by psychopathic peoples in my community - and expect me to deny the truth of my experiences to reframe them into some positive reframing - is simply to add more torture into my being - when again those who are supporting me are making me to lie to myself and pretend to tell a different story - this is not healing - it is denial and trauma of who i am- and the painful injustice i was exposed to as a child- a adult and now a a elderly person.
in my opinion its not too little connection - that's hilarious - its too many connections - no pruning I think your skizo theory is backward - this is nuts when you docs get a little too excited about THEORY
wow - what a lecture - learning so - sorry about all the comments - i just want to share my good news - and nobody around me gives a hoot. anyway I was born in trauma - my mom and the doctors surely thought I would die - born below 5 pound - tiny little thing that came out kicking and screaming bloody murder- my immunity is out of this world - i hardly ever get sick - and sometimes i test for 20,000 mast cells in my blood - I'm fighting a war inside my body - probably leaking gut - cleared that up - and have fewer mast cells- my mom mentally fought me being dead in her womb - she was determined that i live- when the doc says i will die. I think this has a lot to do with how I fight off diseases and have remained healthy, though my stress system can easily break out of homeostasis.
talking connecting to safe people - will turn off your SNS (FFFFF) (fight like a tiger,flight fly like a bird, freeze like a goat or zebra, fawn like a deer, fucyou like an octopus) all this survival behavior turns off when you activate your ventral vegal nerves - its a hack into safety- turning towards safe people who support u -is how we as humans evolved - if we turn off the ventral vegas we will perish as a species -
wow i was always running away from predators - looks like the running is what gave me a massive brain - I've had several people say to me - " God gave you a beautiful brain "
many people with ACES become covert narcs - bullying in adulthood They have intense hateful microexpressions - and, without help, morph into closet psychopaths - - like psychopaths don't care about u - they care about survival - PERIOD. - I can predict at least half the population has about 5 ACES
that is a great idea - to add to the ACES if someone was bullied at school From my own experience of being bullied at home - I took this to the playground and acted out the abuse that the adults were putting me through - all these behavior issues are learned from adults. I learned most of my abusive behaviors from doctors, teachers, church leaders, church youth leaders, and coach, babysitters, neighbours who know better, sick aunts and uncles, grandparents, parents - who have very good public images - but, for some reason, need a child to serve them sexually, emotionally, and physically - because no normal adult wants to be near them.
Thank you for this. My son and I both agree his psychosis was caused by bullying in high school and him excessivelystressing about getting older and work. He's 26 now and had a psychotic break when he was 24. He's made a full recovery thanks to the right medications and therapy. 🙏🏼
I have a picture in my head showing a bunch of psychiatrists at the pharmaceutical company launch for Clozapine. The paid doctors are standing around drinking cocktails, dribbling saliva all over each other, and being stoned. They pretend in the comfort of each others side effects to be normal. Yes, it is normal to dribble like a bloodhound and being stoned because everybody in the room is the same. My wife has resistant relapses of psychosis and every time the Australian doctors reach for the Clozapine I tell them to get stuffed. Instead, she has used ECT, and her psychosis has vanished by the 4th treatment. For maintenance, she has gone back to Abilify with lower side effects. My wife has stayed well for 7 years. I challenge the psychiatrists to take their own drugs before telling everybody else to take them. Without medication, psychiatrists are nothing but a bunch of snake oil sellers. Their book of diagnosis DSM-TR5 is a book of consensus fiction. Phd James Davies, the author of the book "Cracked" questioned the godfather Robert Spitzer about how he and his team came up with the various mental illnesses in the first DSM book. He asked Spitzer if they used science to classify mental disorders. Spitzer replies, " Oh no, we just agreed with each other." Psychiatry is a pseudo-science.
This information was informative and such a huge help with a paper for my PSY645 Psychopathology course. As a black Masters of Psychology student, I feel like (42:42 time stamp) medication invented was geared toward the proposed healing of the black society during the unrest of the Civil War, a tactic towards White America conformity. I am not a racist by no means, noting that the original individuals diagnosed with Schizophrenia were people of European decent. The bias to me begins with the under diagnosis and then the huge increase due to Black American males shifted around who were previously incarcerated. Those conditions alone are enough for individuals to be hostile and aggressive. It seems as if some people are granted excuses for their behaviors while others become defined by their actions; typical American wholesome values.
i just saw this commercial a few days ago while watching a lakers game and it brought me to tears. this was absolutely beautiful, bravo to all those involved in its creation
Psychiatry is the only 'medicine' that doesnt use blood tests or treat deficiencies, doent test with urine OATS testing for neurotransmitters or accurate hormone testing. Insane. A series of tick boxes instead. Said by a very sad and angry mum watching her LO disintegrate into nothingness from meds
it is the worst part of medicine. it isnt real medicine. everyone can give ppl meds. they do not know anything at all. i am mentally ill and psychiatry is the worst of all.
“Cannabis is a five fold risk factor… and so are the ADHD drugs…” I’ve never felt so thankful to not be psychotic. I’ve been living on a diet of speed & weed for the past 15 years. That’s a risk factor of 25x. And I taking too much of both at certain times
“Let me try some other things first.” Some psychiatrists just love to play god… they’re not workers employed by their patients, they’re highly-trained ‘experts’ who graciously volunteer to treat us mere mortals. Imagine going to a car mechanic for an oil change and he said, ‘let me try some other things first’…
People don't have the same level of illness and don't require the same dose made worse if they disregard your symptom because of preconceived ideas sourced from some book Written by someone highly likely who stands on the shoulders of an abusive sociopathic status / fame /seeking doctor / researcher And we're all supposed to keep quiet about the horrors Oh I'm digressing Saffron raises dopamine levels Win Hoff cold dips also raised dopamine As does low cost Yoga nidra Huberman is were I sourced some of my information He has a podcast Remarkably interesting ❤ good luck
My son has been on Clozapine for the last 3 months after countless meds didn’t work and a 3 month hospitalization. I’m so thankful we are seeing improvement and his smile has returned. I think exercise is key with this medication to manage motivation and side effects. Thank you for sharing your story.
My sister take 2x25 mg/ day; and sleep 9 hours a day. She spent her time in the bedroom, wondering around in the house, brushing her teeth, shower, cleaning bed, every day, 7 day a week. Despite that, she is intelligent still.
My sister also take Clozapine 2x25 mg, plus Brexpiprazole 1x4 mg. She was intelligent. But, similar to your sister: in the bedroom, cleaning bed, brush teeth, shower.
My sister is taking clozapine in combination with other drugs. But her motivation is so low, that she is daily stucked in her bedroom. How to increase her motivation to be more active? Can Team Daniel help on this?
I was on clozapine and I found it extremely sedating which meant I would regular sleep 16 hours or more each day. This was interpreted as lack of motivation by the psychiatrist, I realise it may not be the case with your sister but I thought I would mention the fact that clozapine is so sedating. Can I ask what dose she is on?
Going through a very overwhelming living nightmare... My nurse practitioner is very abusive to me and not knowing if what I am going through at this moment is really happening or if it is delusional or if they are real? I have been bitten by mine that can be looked at through a microscope.... I have been dealing with this since December of last year and I have been told that I am not going through this from the nurse practitioner.. Last year I had the mites sent to UT and the results came back that I had Bird mites and the kinds that live on rats and I have found rat poop in my hallway and bathroom one of our managers at the apartments had them in the office and she put everything outside all of her offices computer and everything because she had been bitten so much and it's my understanding that she got fired from her job 😢 I was having the same problem with these mites and I don't have a good nurse practitioner he said that I didn't have them and hasn't even gave me a good checkup he was in a bad mood and started asking me if I was on different kinds of street drugs and I let him know that all the meds I took was the one's he called call me for me.... The pest control came yesterday and picked up the samples from the mites so I am waiting on the results.. Yes I do have PTSD and anxiety along with depression from my childhood and from my x husband who is a narcissist and I have many health problems because of the trauma from the abuse! Although this has been very overwhelming and damaging to my health I am open to both of them because I am trying to get help with this overwhelming nightmare! This has gave me so much compassion for others who are going through mental health problems 😢 after watching these videos I truly don't don't know what one would be the worst having the mites or going through something that I see that I see and feel biting me.... Waiting on the results of the mites has been very overwhelming and stressful!... Not enough words 😢
Is mental illness a "real" disease? I am thinking, that there are still so many ways, we talk about mental illness, that further reinforce and propagate long-held stigma, misunderstanding, stereotypes, and/or discrimination (it's amoral and/or illegal), and the belief, that it is NOT a "real" disease, because when someone dies of cancer, we don't say, that they have "ended" their life, or worse, they have "killed" themselve, but regularly say or believe so, when someone dies by suicide, as if it were a "real" choice, and not the disease, itself, which has unfortunately and prematurely taken their life. One does NOT choose to "end" one's life, but the cauldron of cognitive distortions, as disease, when it is at its loudest literally or at its "metastatic" stage in one's head/body, makes that ill-fated choice for one.
