I think it's accurate for my 20's when emotions ran high and I had intrusive thoughts and negative feelings. Now, in my 30's, I'm so emotionally withdrawn and mute, I can't relate to any of this. I can understand walking into a country club and being so overwhelmed with paranioa that you can't enjoy yourself or look up from the floor or make eye contact with anyone. If these voices were interpreted as strong intrusive feelings that shouldn't be happening, then it makes a lot of sense. You sit in a restaurant where things should be calm and fun, but instead you're overcome with suspicion, rage and jealousy and you're sweating to hide what you're dealing with internally. These cartoons don't compare to actual emotions.
I feel that schitsophrenia is a psychological disturbance not a mental disorder like socio or psycho Patrick. I think it disturbs emotions and thought and ability to function or think normal at times and depression and y. But I think it starts with something simple like adhd and anxiety. Neurological. Is depression psychological. And what is neurological. But it's a tough disorder when not maintained by the proper stabilization meds and cognitive therapy and sometimes environmental change. It can be controlled and maintained but can return also. At different levels. It's real to the person having eppisodes and it isnot fun. So it is fair to be kind and considerate and an adult not mean or derogatory. Which does make it worse on the person because it effects their mental compacity causing shame and doubt and the discomforts of himility...
They didn’t do it to fit in and be cool because it makes you calm and relaxed. They are dealing with mental problems to begin with. It’s not a Gateway drug it’s a commonality. it’s a sign of a bigger problem
It is so sad that BC Schizophrenia Society has gone woke. I will no longer support the BC Schizophrenia Society since the organization has bought into left-wing radical Marxist systems. Keep your support of Harm Reduction unsafe supply and shove that attack on our loved ones where the sun won't shine. Your publications are an embarrassing symptom of buying into radical social death.

Hey I was diagnosed officially with schizophrenia at 25 but I've had symptoms since my late teens. I am a male. This track specifically is relatable. Thank you for the videos.
I wish treating this disease was as easy as this video says it is. Most mentally ill people don’t think they are mentally ill and think the doctors are trying to harm them.
My cognitive function can be disruptive and distorted at times which can be alarming nobody believes that I suffer from mental health issues everyone suffers when I go of my meds...
If you aren't addictive personality you should find a physician or psychiatrist to monitor you with some 1mg of xanax (start with a .50 maybe) it will leveling your anxiety from the paranoia and you can think alot clearer. There is clonopin also but that is a bit strong. A different kind of medicine. My agoraphobia and generalized anxiety with tramatic stress brings on my schitsophrenia.when going through unbelievable trauma I had became detached disoriented from reality and fully paranoid schitsophrenic. I'm diagnosed effective but it goes dormant. But I had the full torturous schitsophrenia 2 years in bed with it years ago.i don't want it back. It is he#$ so sad and torture!
Took showers in a dim calming light. Helped alot. The more out of my head I got the worse and more uncintrollable it became. I also beleive that telepathy is real. But people can't hear our thoughts it just sometimes seems like it. Mabe something from mid eval or medical science or spiritual warfare. The more positive and clear thinking the better. Med stability and cognitive therapy. And..the right meds not the bs lol
Mom, take care of yourself, treat yourself and hubby to enjoy your time as a couple. He will heal over time and your couple relationship will be happier.
Legalisation, regulation, education. Current drug policy does not work and a new holistic and evidence based approch is needed to minimise harm. You will never stop people using drugs in a recreational way, nor do I think you should try to but people should be informed of the risks surrounding the drugs they choose to take, just look at what has happened with smoking
@EvilEddyEdmonds Because,some can turn extremely violent and don't care IF they can take a life. Most lack scruples and see nothing wrong with lying and making things up. Kleptomania,crimes ,sinning etc is cool and funny to some them. They lack remorse and are emotionally numb and aloof. They have twisted up warped up senses where they confuse being helpful and friendly to being flirtatious and when you correct them they turn into a toddler threatening to kill you by pointing a knife at you etc. Pot smokers are scary and strange all they mostly care about is watching TV,sleep all day.Eats mostly take out and junk food from Dollar Tree. The ones I know can't and are too lazy to cook and can't read and are illiterates
God bless you and your son. My family was tormented by this for generations. My middle son was cured of mental illness within a few years by the help of God, a great deal of attention from me, great counselors, doctors, and pastors. he graduated from college and has lived for years alone and now married, working as a professional with a stressful life in Tokyo.
I agree. But, what about all of the prescription drugs for children and teens? ADHD, skin disorders, some certain diets can help these things, but it's always about popping a pill.
I can’t thank all of you enough for this soulful, luminous exploration……So many loving voices here……I’ve never felt more consoled and hope filled as the mother of a child with schizophrenia, who- sadly-is still treatment non compliant. Hope is my greatest tool….along with sacred listening and the prayer that love and time will soften and lessen the pervading fear that inhibits healing. Bless you all. Peace.
There was a whole bunch of them when i was there and dementia all these old people. And temporary schizoaffective disorder with dementia it was insane. And ive been treated for schizophrenia with psychotic depression and invega. I dont think cannabis has anything to do with it. I drove through kamloops and every sign merrit i was totally aware this isnt merrit.
Thank you so really helpful. My grandson is like pieces of all that was said. He is 22 and has finally getting medicinal help. it's still a work in progress on Lithium so working on perhaps bi polar more Manic and schizaffective disorder. Where will this lead. He likes composing music. My goodness drugs, different voices, anger paranioa, destyroying mirrors, windows, closed in windows with curtains always drawn before. He doesn't trust the process.....
Why are the police involved in suicide attempts where the person does not have a mental disorder and no doctor has examined the person. In case the police are not aware of the amendment to the Criminal Code, SUICIDE IS NO LONGER A CRIMINAL OFFENCE AND HAS NOT BEEN FOR DECADES. This is just one more law where a person's rights are ignored. And then the police enter their actions into a data base that is shared internationally. As a result a woman who was traveling to the US was denied entry because her name appeared in the data base of US Customs. This has got to stop. I
"Their Out To Get Me !" "Everyone Is In On It !!" ...IN On What ! Is It a Man's Voice, a Woman's voice, or Too distorted to distinguish? Or is the experience, "Just an Uneasy Feeling", where the proper solution is unknown. In a particular frame of mind, does the voice(s) encourage behaviour which is,for the person, out of the ordinary, or affect how they react to certain situations ? (Not Eating Meals, No Sleep, or Not Taking required Medications). There are so many labels that can be suggested and a wide range of symptoms, seemingly interchangeable and thrown around: DEPRESSION, Bipolar, Paranoia. More recently we have become more aware of how many people are affected, in Sports, Entertainment, Our Caregivers, and Figures of Authority, and who might be willing to try to do something about it. Outside Or personal pressures can cause a type of 'Mental Burnout'. I'm sorry, Your Presentation is not helpful. It is Not easy to Portray A Sense of a Person's Fragile Reality, rather than just as part of a radio play which nearly destroys a very sad but nice song.
i have schizoaffective according to MUSC hospital. I still have delusions sometimes but I can usually catch it before it gets too far out of hand. sometimes I still wonder if people can communicate through something similar to spooky actions at a distance that is confirmed by quantum mechanics
