“You don’t look schizophrenic” has been said to me so often, it’s a relief to see a video de-stigmatizing all of the negative ideas of the disorder

[@KatraCat420]

Her experience is in no way representative for at least 99% of people who are “treated” with neuroleptic drugs, even those who have a cursory experience with such chemicals pretty much never get better. Having a pregnancy while medicated with such powerful drugs puts both you and the child at a massive risk, and if you decide to withdraw from them before/during/after pregnancy, you’ll likely experience withdrawal symptoms that rival kicking heroin. I’ve read hundreds of experiences from people who never seem to recover, and some are convinced they have permanent brain damage. Of course, any negative symptoms arise and the doctor will claim it’s the fault of your “mental illness.” Any possibly positive effects are automatically attributed to the drugs. It’s tragic, really. And I despise seeing this type of romanticized version of the phenomenon of the chronically drugged. Most people I know who take antipsychotics can hardly move due to the metabolic hell their bodies are experiencing, and they are in their 20s.

[@raleymartin7850]

@@KatraCat420 Lauren’s experience with schizophrenia is unique to her just like every other person with schizophrenia’s experiences. She has also made multiple videos covering the side effects and risk factors of antipsychotic medications as well as her symptoms, so she’s not trying to “romanticize” or sugarcoat anything. She also specifically stated at the end of this video that it was filmed during a time where she was feeling extremely stable. I live in the United States where the healthcare system in general does a horrible job of providing general care and treatment, much less that for people struggling with mental illnesses. For that reason, I appreciate your insight because we hear stories here of misdiagnoses and over-medicating every day here. However, I encourage you to remember that a lot of people coming to channels like this are struggling with mental illness symptoms and looking for hope. Some may be very much in need of medications that they’re already hesitant/paranoid about taking, so negative comments and giving medical advice (unless you are a medical professional) is not helpful.

[@Stephanie-us3bj]

Teddy is sweet and adorable. Thank you for being candid about how Rob takes the "night shift" for much for the week. I've always struggled with anxiety/depression and I had severe postpartum depression so my husband also helped out a lot with the night feeds so I could get some sleep - sleep is so so so important especially for those living with any sort of mental illness. I had a lot of friends and family almost make me feel guilty that I was forcing my husband to do night feeds when he had to work. What they don't understand is A. I was not forcing him to do anything, he wanted to help me because he knows how important sleep is for my mental health and B. my husband would often tell me that it was easier for him to go to work sleep deprived than take care of a baby sleep deprived. I know this isn't the same for every working spouse/partner depending on what their occupation is, I just appreciated the acknowledgement of how hard it is to be a mom and that maternity leave is NOT a vacation. All that being said I think sleep deprivation has a lot to do with postpartum mood disorders and can hinder in recovery and moms should not feel like they have to do it all or suffer while neglecting their needs and mental health. With my mental health issues I could not have become a mom without a supportive partner and it looks like you have a wonderfully supportive partner as well. Also - I'm sure you get this all the time but Rob looks a lot like Adam Driver!

[@fembot521]

I tried to do it all by myself for 8 months with my first born and my mental health went WAY downhill. I was seeing things it got so bad and I don’t have a diagnosed condition. After that my husband helped and with our second he did a lot more.

[@india1422]

I think the need for sleep is underestimated. I need a good 12 hours most days

[@mammalopez89]

My husband did the same for our two boys. I had severe post partum psychosis with both my kids

[@g00dbyemisterA]

There is something so pelasingly calm abou this, like given how like the usual stuff is like explaining the paranoia, the hospital admissions and all that which is all intense and pretty tricky sometimes to sit and watch, but this was just so serene, and I'm in love with the co-parent's "Yes Homo" t-shirt.

Gosh, Ms. Karen, that is tough. Hope you're doing well.

[@Jaguncy]

I've been on antipsychotic medications for the last two and a half years. So I relate very very well with this tiredness we get, with the struggle it is to socialize, with the exhausted feeling after any small effort made. It's hard. I started on a new job today after being outta work for the past year or so and I just feel like I don't have the strength on my body to cope with it now. We struggle, but we manage it.

[@kmacleod29]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this. My one and only baby is due in December and I have Bipolar I. A lot of planning and consideration has and will continue to go into our day to day life to manage and balance mine and my baby girl's care. Our sleep and feeding arrangements will likely closely mirror yours and I appreciate not feeling alone.

I appreciate the insights you provide to people who don’t have schizophrenia, especially since it can be a very difficult disease to understand. I’m sure you inspire many people struggling with schizophrenia to not feel alone and stay persistent with their self care, and you do an amazing job of reminding the rest of us that compassion can work wonders in the lives of those experiencing schizophrenia and other mental illnesses.

Lauren, I love your videos. I need to say, hearing the amount of recognition and appreciation you have for Rob’s support is so beautiful, but you spend so much time trying to make things “fair.” It’s a wonderful/important trait, but you are living with a scary, frustrating disease which can be work in its own right and Rob clearly understands that about you. He’s the type of person I try to model myself after in my relationships - he is an incredible partner to you (and vice versa!) and it seems like you try to fill each other’s life with as much love as you can, despite any circumstance. Your connection is honestly so lovely to see. I don’t say “inspiring” often, but it really is.

I am convinced that men deal with sleep deprivation better than women. My mental health issues were "only" depression and anxiety, and not getting enough sleep completely broke me. Granted we had a particularly bad sleeper (2-hourly wake ups for the first 15 months, yay parenthood), but my husband handled it a lot better than I did and often would carry a bigger load to help me. Well done to you and your partner for finding what works for you and making it through this parenting journey!
