Missing Teenager's Car Found on Interstate | Logan Schiendelman Case Analysis 

Psychosis is a symptom of schizophrenia

So heartbreaking. Such a handsome young man.

I was thnking that when they were talking about the marijuana use. I agree that the symtoms and behavior are very similar, and the age is right. using marijuana might not be a cause, but it´s often seen (in excess) in young people who develop schizophrenia. Self medication?

And yes, so tragic on so many levels. My husband´s cousin, a similarly gifted young man, developed schizophrenia, and life has been very tough for him since then. Then disappearing like that...I feel for Logan and his family.

It fits the age range. A horrible situation when someone is confused and unsure how to get help or just doesn't click that they should reach out yet. 😥

He's really fortunate to have you. I am glad he's doing good now.

So sad for this family. Esepecialy the grandma who raised him

Such a tragedy. His family has my sympathy. I pray they get closure.

Deepest condolences

This is such a sad story. I feel terribly for his family. I also think he was having some issues and it’s too bad he didn’t get help for them.

So sad, and unfortunate. Many people have a really bad experience w/pot; it doesn't keep them for continuing to use. If something he didn't grow, hadn't purchased before and was altered, it would explain the erratic driving. But I'm of the opinion that any weakness, vulnerability evident to public can result in the random act of violence by perps who see an opportunity, if not the confidence from getting away w/it before. Yet again, and drugs are the culprit; whoever sells the pot, usually has others to get you in deeper. What a horrible waste. 🙏For his family,RIP Logan.

​​@@deejames1st I don't know what it's like where he was, California is terrible! You say the wrong thing / things and these mental health workers under penalty of losing their employment and perhaps being liable, can't pretend they didn't hear what you said and so have to cover their asses. It's easier to check yourself into a psych ward, than it is to get yourself out of it. And then your subject to sanctions, perhaps for life on the state level. There's federal penalties too that you have to live with If you've ever been declared a danger to yourself, even if you weren't declareda danger to others. Case is tend to get overwritten, to protect the worker from any consequences who comes in contact with the person in crisis.

@@frankpaya690 I agree on a lot of your points. These people need more empathetic mental health care. There’s an issue with the families of some making it harder for the patient due to lack of empathy, denial of responsibility, blame, excuses, etc. Sometimes it’s these people’s own families who end up making it impossible for them to recover. Workers tend to do more when there’s a good family looking out for the patient and helping the patient in their recovery instead of hindering the recovery. When a patient doesn’t have that support system many workers may decide the case is pointless. But it doesn’t seem like that was the case here, as his family seemed to care about him, and haven’t smeared him for having his issues. I think that maybe it was like Dr. Grande said, the illness progressed quickly in his case, and before anyone realized the depth of it, he was gone. I also agree with you that these people are very vulnerable to those who would do harm to them and they aren’t in a fit state to defend themselves against it.

self isolation, dd behavior and homicide are not mutally exclusive

I’m also grateful to know the symptoms of Schizophrenia. I have looked them up, but never found very helpful information. Dr. Grande says it best! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉

He is he is the only person I actually listen to on RU-vid his kind words that he uses and carefully describes everything without judging or slaggin the individual is great we care, we watch like continue very professional indeed.

@@sahraali4242 I honestly wish we could all be his patients lol 😉

I’m a New Yorker so I’m jaded but his dry humor is witty 😁😉.

naw, he often makes fun and ridicule the subjects of his spots

There is much to what you say.

I’m glad you’re OK.

@@sallysmith7974 thank you ❤️

@@Nevermore694 They might have, but if for some reason Logan felt he was in danger, it´s not certain that the residents of these camps would be cooperative with the searchers. I could see them going out of their way to conceal him if he were frightened of being found.

@@raquellofstedt9713 Good point. I’ll hope he is still alive then. Sounds feasible to me…

Unhoused? No. Homeless. Stop with the doublespeak

Good point, you never know if someone decides to just start a new life. I do have to say though, the term you used in your comment, Unhoused, stood out to me. Curious to know the reason behind saying unhoused compared to the homeless. A person without a house is typically called homeless and I'm wondering if that is now the new "woke" term for homeless lol? Please tell me it's not...I've had enough of these "politically" correct terms when trying to not "offend" someone. I can guarantee a homeless person probably gives a s&!t less if they are called homeless. I'm sure if u did a survey on the unhoused settlements they wouldn't care that they are called homeless. The word games have gone too far on the far left, for sure.

​@@roxannespahr2804There is a distinction. Think of the word home and what it means to you compared to the word house. A home is something that is deeper. Home sweet home, not house sweet house. So the distinction can be made that someone who is homeless has nowhere to go that feels like a home or that is a home to them. They can also be without an address or structure to live in which also makes them houseless. There are people who are houseless who do have a home they can return to, maybe a parental home, a grandparent's home, a home with their spouse... Language keeps evolving. If it didn't I would be speaking English in Shakespearean. Or I'd be speaking an older language of my ancestors before they arrived in England. Farewell ye ragged wart, and thou abate thy rage ye malthouse drudge!

That’s not completely true. His aunt told me he wasn’t randomly walking around naked but they like to add that detail. Also he stopped rocking with his friends because they kept making black jokes.

That’s not likely there’s so much more to his story it’s crazy that anyone would think this is schizophrenia

@@hollyelectraa7269 like what ?

@@nellybelly4388 hide and seek podcast season 2 James investigates Logan’s disappearance

He was 19. You'd be complaining if they were too controlling of him as well.

I don't doubt that it is hard from your perspective, but many single race people feel singled out for various reasons and feel that they don't relate well or are unacceptable/unaccepted by others - perhaps drawing, poetry, writing stories, playing a musical instrument or singing might give you an avenue of emotional expression which could lead you to communication.

@Don K Actually, I just stopped caring about what anyone thinks about me. Fortunately, I have always had the integrity of telling people exactly what I am when asked. I am half black and half Mexican and proud of it. If they have a problem with it that's their problem. As far as playing an instrument, I have always wanted to but never took the time. Too busy trying to survive. Making videos for my channel is a great outlet for me. Thanks for the advice. ❤️ 😍

@@debbiethompson14 Well, of course, you shouldn't really care what any other people think of you (as long as you consider how safe you are among them and leave them if not), as long as you generally treat others equally and with that respect one human deserves from another (which anyone should certainly understand from their own experience and feelings). And as to any other things - living or not - with due care and humanely.

I had a similar thought. The year he disappeared was the year rump was running for president. A lot of hidden racism started to ooze out of clear people that year. This kid's whole family (and maybe his "friends") were all clear people, and maybe racism hadn't been something he had to think about before, but I know finding out some people in my life were racists really gave me trust issues. And when I tried to explain to clear people how it would be detrimental to POC to have a racist in the white house, I lost some friends who defended rump's racism. So maybe Logan felt isolated because he realized that he was surrounded by people like that. People who supposedly loved him. Just a theory

@@Don.Kiwitas Absolutely 💯

I've never been to anywhere marijuana is legal but I've heard that in Canada, since it was legalised, cause it's taxed, there is still a black market of drug dealing because people want it cheaper. I don't know if it's the same in Washington. This was in a political debate on the merits of drug legalisation.

Yep.. I dont like edibles i tried them and had panic attacks and horrible hot flashes. Nope, dont know how people eat these things. Or the sci fi weed they have nowadays..

@Mandy Warski Not to mention security cameras all over the place..

Good morning

I’m just hopping into bed! 😆

Could it be because in their teens and twenties they use drugs? Not everyone is going to react the same way when under the influence of drugs The are called drugs for a reason

Sounds like he was depressed before smoking weed but yes blame the weed and not his immature emotionally inept parents who gave him a life full of confusion and loneliness. Yes he had his grandma but your grandma being forced to take care of you bc of your lack of parents being parents wouldn’t sit right w anyone.

In excess, absolutely.

You're correct 💯

There are thousands or maybe even millions of homeless who are all over this country...and most of them choose to live this way for what ever reason.

Wonder if he ever spoke to a school councillor & they have missed the opportunity to get him proper help or it’s related to something else entirely??

The majority of people can use marijuana medically and recreationally. I used off and on for some years, but it started to make me feel paranoid and I knew that I needed to stop to keep myself safe and comfortable. That said, I think where marijuana is legal it's probably much safer than buying from "some dude."

​@@shethingsd also, street drugs are used by researchers who want to see how "chemical compound xuz" effects various demographics, as tests of sorts, for use againdt rivals , or simply as a curiosity, or for R & D, mkultra or big pharma or psyops, scammers, whatever

@@shethingsd He might have been sold "dusted" weed, with PCP or something, which may have triggered this behavior. The drugs were just a catalyst for him though. I stopped smoking the stuff 20 years ago, because it made me intensely paranoid.

Logan’s sister boyfriend had made a comment to someone saying Logan’s dead also a witness claims she saw Logan’s sisters boyfriend driving Logan’s car after he disappeared so no your theory is not correct we won’t blame psychosis on a hate crime

Yeah, pot smokers generally prefer to chill.

@@DamePiglet I know I do.

I wrote this before hearing the end of your video! Looks like you have the same theory.

What? What about "cannabis"''s enormous medical benefits? Cures glaucoma, anxiety, pain, mental illness, epilepsy, etc. etc. I guess Logan was just one of the "unlucky" ones. The amount of sheer horseshit behind pot legalization is stupefying and a true sign of the total decay of American society.

I have epiphanies all the time and as far as I know I’m not hear voices…..yet.

I read that marijuana can trigger mental problems in people who are prone to psychosis.

​@@coldstoli1 Nowadays we hear all about the good side of marijuana. It obviously has both good and bad sides. Neither should be hidden.

Lulling is up the road from me.I haven't heard anything new on the Landry case.

Nothing Grande said supports this assertion. Care to sight Any sources for your outdated, uninformed view? Perhaps some peer reviewed studies that back up your claim? Or, do you prefer to make claims with Zero evidence back it up, bc these things FEEL true to you?🤔 🙄

@@darkcrystalmagik3369 Go research on your OWN. Plenty of evidence a around, denial is strong with pot, esp those who ruin their lives dealing or smoking it. Be respectful or I may not be in my next response...fair warning.

​@@darkcrystalmagik3369 There are studies of pot being bad for schizophrenia. Look and you will find.

There are tens of thousands of police forces and their precinct stations across the USA and many are very small and their budgets resented by tax payers and town councillors and so offices are closed and shifts uncovered when money and staff are tight. Indeed for that matter many small hospitals close their emergency departments on weekends.

@@Don.Kiwitas Thanks

I've often wondered . . .

Comments section, emails, probably people he knows IRL,…surely other places as well

LOL! Right! I imagine a line of people outside his door (trailing down the hallway in his house) waiting for their turn for a one-on-one with him. Similar to the "If Google were a person" videos.

Hmm, random people on the internet with suggestive ideas to express; Todd , himself, having breaks from reality in delusive moments writes on the whiteboard magnetically affixed to his fridge door these very same queries; the mailman or some other passerby leaves post it notes on his mailbox.

Here in comments as well there are requests for him to cover stories
