Vintage Psychiatric Interview | Chronic Hallucinatory Psychosis and Paranoid Delusions 

People commenting think that everyone is 'normal' unless you eat shit or rip money.

Because people without licence have no right to assume and have an opinion and critical thinking is bad

@@nadMoZzzg Over 40 years ago, a bipolar friend underwent a significant mental breakdown with hallucinations and delusions. Fortunately, another friend got me to assist in getting her back to her family for treatment. Meanwhile everyone else who knew her was denying anything was wrong and claiming she always acted that way. After I experienced that episode, which was quite unsettling to me, I realized that people will either misinterpret mental illness or will just deny it by making up excuses or justifications for what the unbalanced person is doing and saying. That's what commenters here are doing as well.

Yep. Hearing voices of members of your family or neighbors talking about you in an atypical way (weither a constant criticism nor the total opposite, I've heard a story of a guy who believed his parents thought he would be the next french president and how to help him planning it), reflecting megalomania or paranoia tendencies. Stories of people hearing this through walls, pipes, garbage chute, air vent or even heating system (it happened at least once lol) are typical examples.

Just because they labeled her doesn't mean they were right. Wouldn't doubt if completely wrong.

well... this level of hallucinations is not just caused by overwork and loneliness. But with a psychotic structure (probably schizophrenic because social isolation is one of the first symptoms) these can be factors triggering an episode.

These problems have a biological origin, tumors in the brain, imbalance in hormones, sometimes medications can cause hallucinations.

yep. I have a BPD implying hallucinations. I am obsessed with smells, specifically bad smells that disturb me a lot (it can provoke fear, panic and feeling of immediate threaten, makes me think of sickness or death sometimes). At some point I can smell them everywhere for hours to days. Can't imagine this happening for months, or more.

psychiatry is largely a psuedoscience. Everyone can have their opinion on what's wrong here. I personally think she's having a reaction to a gas leak. All kinds of crap happens in apartment. I got sick from a propane leak in my building and it took me about 6 months to realize that's what was happening

' the 'chemistry' of brain disorders is well established? no it isn't. Maybe YOU should do some research before you put your arrogant OPINION out there. You're just spouting stuff out like it's gospel when it isn't. Very little is known about schizophrenia actually and they haven't come far in treating it

OK Professor

No wonder there is so much abuse in this industry when most jump to conclusions about people being sick, you would be surprised how dumb and petty most people working in psychiatry are, and the ones who are not are either naive sheep or no longer working there

very well said. trés bien. 🌷🌱

It truly is incredible. I saw paranoid schizophrenia from the other side when going through Benzodiazepine withdrawal cold turkey. I was insane for about 4 months. It was nightmarish. Like being locked inside your brain with an unknown madman.

this kind of disorder has nothing to do with her relationship with her mom and dad. I think the interview is brilliant.

And it's not mild. It is full blown.

As a feench I understood everything she was saying and she talks about her mother a bit. She lived with her but she passed away 2 years ago

Yeah I noticed that also. Red flag.😂

She does have delusions and other schizophrenia symptoms like persecution complex, hallucinations and suspiciousness. She is indeed able to convey this to the psychiatrist in an organized manner just like the video description says but she is not well. Her delusions are also associated with the current events in her surroundings and her country. She is talking about people gossiping about her going out with arabs. Perhaps this was in the news/agenda - migration from the Arabic countries. People with schizophrenia often show this symptom: persecution mania and hallucinations stemming or associated with what’s in the news especially if it’s something sensationalist and/or sensitive. For instance in Russia in the beginning of the nineties some people with schizophrenia had hallucinations and persecution complex associated with aliens because there was a lot of interest to aliens and some esoteric matters in the society. So people with schizophrenia would claim they once were abducted by aliens or something of this sort. And while it’s clear that aliens could not abduct anyone as we don’t know if they even exist, it’s much easier to say that person with such a delusion is unwell. But if or when the delusions feel more true to life it’s harder to tell if that person is unwell, especially if one is not a psychiatrist.

@D I am not going to discredit you and I know that victims of abuse can suffer from various forms of psychological instability like ptsr for instance. I am also aware of cases when people were institutionalized just for being “uncomfortable” for their societies, communities and/or families. However, some disorders occur regardless of the environment, sadly. Sometimes people are born with them, due to genetics, for instance. And such disorders manifest just later in life. Sometimes due to certain triggers (traumatic situations or physical injury). Here we only see a part of the story. It’s the interview. And the interview does show some common features of schizophrenia in the interviewed person :(

She also describes being able to hear voices - men and women, at work and at home that she states she can’t find the source of and she doesn’t even question where the voices are coming from or why…

She is obviously high functioning. I am no psychiatrist so I won’t debate on her condition; I only hope that she wasn’t put on any treatment that would only aggravate her mental state, like strong opiates or electroshocks. I have seen that with a friend: more meds = more intense mental disorders. She needed calmative treatment and a more fulfilling lifestyle.

She said very plainly that she was the only one to smell anything. It is very much a hallucination.

You have watched a 14 minutes video and you think you know better than people who knows much more about her. Don't you think other people would hear the loudly voices that comes outside her home?

You probably crazy yourself, weirdo . Go get checked.

You know, someone once said: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.

Great comment. Very observant.

@nenomengo Who knows, maybe she does have more incite than the doctors. People who are overly observant, have a good intuition about things, or who get that gut feeling can have great incite. My mom had that, and she was always right on the money. Always

Im not making a very important comment, but I note that in your case, you took measures to objectively check into the problem & you don't deny the result of your dection device. You are not trapped in a specific belief. A delusion is a persistent belief _despite_ contradicting data.

Lolll

lmao

Deez nuts!

It's the head in the freezer that gives you away not the gas.

Your right this is fake I believe . Humans have to blink

Can tell is ai photo shop

It's the typical schizophrenic affect.

Does black mold send you mad??

@@desertrose1226 I believe it can.

Like peiple that have psychotic disorders and schizophrenia can't be normal?

CRAZY PEOPLES ARE MORE GOOD THAN NORMAL NOW A DAYS..THEY TEND TO BE HARMLESS THAN THAT OF NORMAL AND EXTREME RICH AND POWER FUL PEOPLES...THEY FIGHT EVERY DAY EVEN DID NT JOY THEMSELF THERE EVERY VICTORY.....SALUTE FOR THEM FROM MY BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

oh stop the bull crap Greyhound Mama you have NO clue

@@Judy122550 Your reply is revealing some hostility and paranoia.

Are you a doctor? I didn't think so. You cannot say there is nothing wrong with her when you're not qualified to do so. It's just your opinion.

@riceflowershea8748 It's just your opinion that it's just my opinion. You are not qualified to know that.

@@greyhoundmama2062 expert people have diagnosed, and she shows the common symptoms, we'd take them over a youtube comment, thank you

You don’t have to sound “crazy” to be “crazy”. Many people mask their illnesses very well.

Okay and that makes her fine?
