This man treated my sister when she first got ill. I think he really helped her and my family and helped her get on the right medication (clozapine) that took her symptoms away. This was back in 1995. So cool to see him still fighting the good fight. I remember he got into the profession after his best friend got schizophrenia when he was a teen.
Vitamins can't do much for severe paranoid schizophrenia, sorry. It runs in our family as my grandfather had it. Maybe it can help someone who has far less severe condition. Clozapine is for treatment-resistant. All other medications and antipsychotics failed. As for therapy, he is a psychiatrist. They deal with medication. Psychologists do therapy. @@modenise2921
This video is so helpful ! My gf and I just split while she is suffering from this. I did not understand I feel like a total ass. But I didn’t really understand . It has become my life’s work to understand and help anyway I can
I've watched this at least 2 times and I can't get enough of this magnificent presentation. Where can I find more of such presentations? It's positively impacting my practice
Wow!!.. you sure are. Wish there could be many more doctors like him. I wish your sister a sustained recovery. I am back here to watch the presentation again as a refresher training
37 y/o female. Just had my first (and hopefully last) psychotic episode coincidentally after doing edibles. They said I have bipolar 1 w/psychotic features. I know it was the edibles.
am 33 and had my first episode..are you still doing your meds..I don’t know whether to start doing my meds again coz am hearing early intervention is better
I had psychosis when I smoked a whole bowl in like two seconds. I have bipolar II. Never had psychosis before that or after, even when smoking smaller amounts. My sister has schizophrenia though, and weed totally brought it on. Our grandfather also had it.
@@Happybeliever247 early intervention is key. the longer you go without treatment the worse it can get and the brain can degrade, especially with psychosis
What movie was he talking about?? My 18 yr old son is experiencing psychosis and i'm trying to learn everything out there to help my child,, thanks for the upload
I wish I had found this video a year ago when my spouse started exhibiting these behaviors. I somehow missed it all thinking it was just an attempt to to get back at me. I believe there where multiple traumas with the worst being a year ago trying to save our puppy. We where dismissed all over Texas. $20k with no diagnosis and then a dead puppy. This lasted 6 months and my spouse never seemed to be able to accept. I tried so many times to get help. MHMR crisis team missed it as recently as a couple months ago. Now my spouse has been in an ER 1500 miles from home with our new pup. Driving that distance thinking space ships where en chase. Threatening suicide if I didn’t call them off. I have dealt with families in crisis for 34 years and when it was my own I completely missed it. This video could be a script to my past year.
My son 20 had his first psychosis episode following an intoxication cannabis. In the Brain scan there is a discreet biparietal cortical atrophy. Which coincidence is this my God. The psychiatrist said that s not the cause of his episode.He had medication as soon as possible. He doesn't want to believe that and some time he want to stop every thing except marijuana. The big problem is that we have to wait a while for the addiction treatment. I hope you could explain to me more.
Do all episodes of psychosis point to schizophrenia? My son was diagnosed with bipolar 2 with psychosis. Is this just a calmer way of saying schizophrenia?
psychotic break was prednisone induced. angry extremely critical of others. fearful of everyone. I had been a volunteer in a local senior center where I was volunteering a lot. just randomly helping others in need. started doing the things where paid staff were just sitting there when people needed help. then as prednisone was taking over even more, I was unaware that I perceived myself as doing the staffs job . became intensely anger and aggressive towards 2 staff members that was triggered when they both had said "it is not my job description to help the seniors in the dining Room. I was un-aware I my loud aggressive behavior and was permanently kicked out of the senior center. I remember the incident somewhat but really was un-aware of my behavior or the incident as it was occurring. I think this was a psycho break WAS IT OR WAS IT NOT. RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN ANSWER
It sounds like you were overworked and you burned out. Prednisone alone shouldn’t make you angry - it sounds more like you yourself are saying that you were angry because you didn’t properly sort out your job description with your supervisor and your boundaries got crossed. Eat well & get enough sleep. You can’t drink or take drugs when you have a demanding job. Drugs & alcohol will severely de-regulate you and distort your emotional perspective over time. Next job you get, set some boundaries early on, and don’t do anyone any favors you’ll regret later. They’re paid to do their job, and you’re paid to do yours. If your boss expects you to do other people’s jobs and you can’t talk with them about it, then it’s time to get another job. I hope this helps - and by the way, DON’T TYPE IN ALL CAPS. IT MAKES YOU SEEM LIKE AN INSANE PERSON ;)
If you are an expert, such as being a psychiatrist, or a physicist, a mathematician, etc., then you are confined to being within the barriers of your own specific expertise. This will limit your perception of reality, enormously. However, if you focus upon lateral thinking and lateral learning, you will not be confined to such barriers. You will in turn be able to perceive reality to far greater an extent. However, since you do not have the credentials of being any one of today's selections of "experts", you will be regarded as being a no one, a nothing, a loser, a "jack of all trades and master of none" at best. Meanwhile, if you were born with a gullible brain that accepts input without even questioning that input before accepting it, then you will suck up knowledge like a sponge sucks up water. You will whip through grade school, high school, and university, and pop out the other end with multiple PhD's. You will be regarded as being the opposite of a "jack of all trades and master of none". You will in turn never see what schizophrenia really is, and not by a long long long shot indeed.
PhDs do not have gullible brains that are like sponges. They are the intelligent who can be likened to someone panning for gold - they retain the correct knowledge, and let go of incorrect knowledge because they’re intelligent enough to distinguish between the two. The people have extensive knowledge of research and decades of experience working with patients/sufferers, studying and testing the brain and behavior, as well as medication. My cousin and my brother in law both suffer from schizophrenia, and without the intervention of skilled experts, they would be dead years ago. Your statements sound like they are generated by someone who has an unhealthy suspicion and distrust of true experts in the field, and who has not one clue how education actually works. I suggest you do not spread such harmful biases to the rest of the gullible public. I did have the suspicion that there would be an unsound and flawed comments under a video regarding people suffering with reasoning issues.
Read all Alfred Russel Wallace about human teleological purpose. We are not meaningless random selection creatures and this is a basemennt of biological model we live with today.
@Flat Sign The OP’s comment was very disparaging towards people who have dedicated their entire lives towards researching and treating mental illnesses. Nobody is attempting to “gauge” the true amount of suffering- suffering is a subjective state and cannot be quantified. And I’m unaware of any tremendous debate among the experts on the cause and treatment- in fact, decades and decades of research has brought forth a working theory that has held water, and the majority of experts are more or less in general consensus. Can you elaborate a little further on what these two sides are disagreeing on, specifically?
