If you have Schizophrenia

This video sheds some light on Schizophrenia. Mental illness is still feared and misunderstood by many people, but the fear will disappear as people learn more about it. If you, or someone you know has mental illness there is good news: HELP is available and treatment is life changing.

I have been diagnosed with Schizophrenia but I don't hear voices. I would hear whispers but not actual voices. I always saw shadow beings or weird shadowy creatures.

My brother was diagnosed with psychosis which is caused by Schizophrenia and other disorders but it isn’t just hearing or seeing things. It is living in constant fear. Fear of being abandoned and you feel like you are being watched. You constantly feel insecure. How much you see or hear things depend on how severe you have it. But everyone with schizophrenia lives in constant fear.

[@YellinHelenP]

Did they give him medication to correct this and give him back quality of life? Clozaril is the gold standard and they have a new medication the FDA is approving sometime in August of 2023. It's really working wonders - KarTX. It was made for Alzhiemer's symptoms but they found it does wonders for schizophrenia. I pray your brother is better.. Recovery is possible.

[@jasonfenton8250]

For the record, while I appreciate you raising awareness for mental illness, it's worth noting that schizoprenics aren't often violent to others, they are more at risk of harming themselves. I was pretty good friends with a schizophrenic from elementary through high school and we got along fine, she acted just like any other kid really. So don't be scared of schizophrenics, they aren't violent, I've only ever gotten into physical fights with "sane" people.

Guys, schizophrenia isn't just hearing voices and seeing shit, and as many people also believe, having a split personality. I have schizophrenia myself, so let me tell you a bit about it. I do see things, and I rarely hear shit, but that isn't all. You live in constant fear that people will abandon you, or that they aren't trustworthy. You constantly feel watched and insecure. EDIT august 2021 Schizophrenia is a very complex afflictions with many subtypes and related disorders. The symptoms can be extremely diverse even outside or without any classical hallucinations. If you feel you might be experiencing any symptoms its best to seek a professional that you also feel safe and comfortable with.

The first time I was hospitalized when I was 15 I was diagnosed with schizophrenia because I was having hallucinations and delusional thinking and started self harming while I was at my after school job. Eventually they figured out that I was Bipolar 1 with psychotic features which is just a fancy way to say that sometimes my mania spins up so far that I lose touch with reality and in that case I was in a terrible psychosis. I don't really remember much of what happens during those times but can usually piece things together from what others tell me. I have spent 30 years hating myself because of who I am, I wouldn't wish true mental illness on my worst enemies. I say true because unfortunately it has become en vougue for younger folks to fake illnessess to gain attention for themselves.

[@dedonkers]

[@kawosdhdos]

I was hospitalized for psychosis and it turns out I have depression with psychotic features. Now, what i considered normal (my psychosis) seems strange and what i considered strange (actual reality) seems normal. I never heard things and had only 2 visual hallucinations which were the world glitching like in the video for a split second, and small things that i would stare at in the dark temporarily disappearing. My psychosis was mostly delusions, and actually a lot of it was simple my fantasies coming to life. My psychosis seemed to alleviate some of my depression actually, sort of like a self-soothing technique.

[@_Kazakhstan_]

About faking illnessess, thats accurate I have some clasmmates who literally saying that they have depression meanwhile depressed man would cover the depression I also have voices in my head sometimes when I get into stressful situations, voices telling me to off myself, but sometimes if voices are chill I have a conversation with them but I don't speak like out-loud or something just in mind speaking

The thing that annoys me most about schizophrenia is when people in authority make fun of it. I've heard church leaders say I'm feeling a bit schizophrenic today and then laugh. I've called them out on it so many times and they usually come up with some feable excuse. Then people seem to think schizophrenia is a split personality well its not. I hear and see things on a daily basis that aren't there and that's even taking a high dose of antipsychotics and this is my well periods when I'm unwell I see things and hear things almost all the time and they are more graphic and pronounced its hard for me to tell what's real and what's not. I have strange thoughts and think the telly is talking to me. I get paranoid and think people are starring at me. I feel that the whole world is against me and when I hear people laughing I think they are laughing at me. I also suffer from depression and anxiety so have what's called a dual diagnosis my illness is a mixture of schizophrenia and mood disorders and its more commonly known as schizoid affective disorder.

[@royalpitamamma]

Thank you for posting this. Some people can't ask for help but always wonder what was wrong with them. Sometimes they learn to ignore the voices that say terrible things and in doing so ignore everyone and their judgements. That helps to alleviate it they say. Although this person says that they have never been violent for people trying to help... They ran and were afraid, but never violent.

[@gabrielle8076]

I made some friends at a new school and I'm really close to one of them, im sending this to him so he could understand me more when I have episodes like this

[@itsbandage]

# G6 I hope he understands.. glad you liked this video and hope you feel better

[@gabrielle8076]

Blue101 Blue102 he paused for a moment and said "so this is what happened the other day" I looked at him and i explained to him how it felt to me and he said that he wants to help me stop the voices I've been having and replace it with good memories so the next time this happens I can think of him , even though its not really how that's gonna work, I still thought it was sweet, 😌 plus I don't know when 13- 16 year olds got so, the way they are now and hearing that was a breath of fresh air

[@gabrielle8076]

Plus the voices that I'm usually hearing are voices from people that hurt me mentally and emotionally from the past 6 years and its new to have a fresh more calm voice

[@gabrielle8076]

Mister Hamoud Habibi the memories, the physical feelings/pain, the voices, the emotions, if it's something that made me cry in the past thinking about it will make me cry now.

[@gabrielle8076]

Even with that you still think of things that aren't real going on in your head but it just feels real

[@saga.a3053]

Thankyou for this video! I never actually heard of this illness and now that i am aware of it and a have educated my self about it, it makes me think of other people who i see everyday. Sometimes people i know or see on a daily basis, act in a similar manner to the person in this video. This made me think that instead of just judging them as acting stupid or thinking they are on some type of drugs, i should consider the fact that mental illnesses exist and its not an easy thing to go through. This video really opened up my eyes to the way i see people! Thank you!

[@itsbandage]

Saga Abuodeh thanks a lot for your great words. thats the reason why I made this video is to reach out to people and let the know that people suffer in different ways. I'll upload more in around 2 months hope you enjoy them too.

I'll be looking forward to your future videos!

Mirrors are the worst during psychosis. I’ve seen my reflection do things I wasn’t doing. And one time I looked down the drain in the sink and saw an eyeball looking at me

[@SarahDoodleDoo]

It seems like how it would be living in a constant living nightmare. That’s so scary. I feel for everyone living with this mental illness

[@Rosawuzhere]

Haha! I like what you did at the end there, with the like and subscribe notes. Also, I loved this. I mean it looked scary. I don't have schizo, but I suffer from a tad of anxiety. Not anxiety attacks, but just general worry. So I know what it's like to feel panicky, like something bad is just waiting to happen. Shout out to everyone schizo. You're amazing for coping :)

[@ashleghscott7801]

Oh my God I can't imagine having schizophrenia I feel sorry for anybody wants to live like that my heart goes out to those people I hope one day they find a cure💔

You can't cure it. The medicine just make it worst

[@yami564]

I have Schizophrenia and I’m now medicated and feel way better. The voices still comeback here and there but I can function a lot better by just ignoring them and they just go away. But when I wasn’t being treated this is exactly how it felt.

[@karinamadrigal301]

Harley Reiss it's called a "trigger"

[@lucasbastos7385]

Pablo Vidal Peinado yeah

[@cariad123]

Its normal, it's called a trigger. One of my husband's worst psychosis triggers is any implication that I, our life or our world doesn't exist (so something like that 'the universe is a simulation' theory). Also any mention of Windex will make him believe he drank some, which is very scary. I have triggers because I have PTSD (triggers=something that brings on a flashback, episode of dissociation or intense emotions related to the trauma) so while I don't know what it's like for schizophrenics, I get what it's like generally.

[@natalieg1011]

Pablo Vidal Peinado this set me off too

[@cleacmoon2307]

Harley Reiss same I think it's cause the voices in this video blend with the ones you hear in reality so it becomes more overwhelming, causing ones anxiety to spike. That's just my take on this

[@adielagibayev7788]

This was so sad to see. I honestly teared up. It really sucks to see people actually suffering this hell. 😢

[@BrendansMomFitnessOfficial]

This is strangely accurate. Of course every case is different but you really nailed most of the symptoms, behaviors and sense of distorted realitym

[@StunningC1921]

That is horrifying, I’m so sorry to all of you who have this condition. I remember God is with you, and I’m praying for you. God Bless and good luck.

[@nickoscar380]

This is pretty accurate. Though when I eat food when I'm psychotic they say I'm eating people and it even tastes weird. When you're in full blown psychosis as a schizophrenic, you get auditory, touch, smell and visuals.

[@Ezra_Nyx]

Is there one for social anxiety yet? I'd love to see something like this for even any form of anxiety!

[@notperfectnow]

Good idea

[@LiminalFlower]

I had these kind of hallucinations since i was a 15 year old, i often got bullied for it.. despite being in psychology class, i'm just glad people like you raise awareness on this. I hope to anyone who has my situation or worse that they get treated better and find people who do care. Thank you.

[@greysenselfie]

I've had schizoaffective disorder for a couple years now and my experience definitely isn't as intense as the medication I take works for me really well, but it is very hard. I don't have many audio hallucinations and more physical like feeling bugs in my skin or someone biting me. It's gotten better since I've gotten medication and therapy to cope and I'm grateful that you're spreading awareness.

[@firstnamelastname7990]

I've been a schizophrenic since around Thanksgiving of 2012 and my voices say similar things. I've gotten used to it so it doesn't bother me anymore.

[@Flo-sn7zv]

im a student and today I was on a ride with a schizophrenic patient. It freaked me out and this helps me sort of get in their heads and see from their perspective. such poor souls what they go through would break anyone.

[@mafia2boy33]

What is being shown here is psycosis, a violent one at that seeing as he punched people and acted distressed, but psycosis can also be different, it can just be voices or just being distressed. I’ve had to live through this multiple times, acting violent and angry and down right a danger to myself and others. And yes, the voices can command you to do acts you don’t want to do sometimes violent other times they’re saying how you’ll get fat if you eat specific foods or drinks. Thanks for reading and letting me vent

[@jaykip1408]

This actually made me cry. I got through this everyday. I'm not nice to myself I'm paranoid I get anxiety doing the simplest things like going to school or picking up my son. I don't see stuff and I only heard a screaming in my head once. And I have a temper sometimes also, kinda like a split personality. Sometimes I don't even trust my own senses it's like idk whats going on with me. I can't sleep I can't eat sometimes.

[@munirabdii3318]

Bro i cant imagine how terrifying it must be to have this mental disorder.

[@paruyrarabajyan6582]

its really not that bad if you don't hallucinate and the delusions arent specifically perceived as life threatening. There are different intensity levels of schizophrenia and different delusions.

[@23DarkTails]

I’m diagnosed since 16-17 but I never believed them. I still hear and see them. More like whispers. The loudest they ever got was to get my attention by calling my name (for some reason really close to my ear) or I would see shadow figures staring at me from a distance around around a corner. I felt like they are waiting to pounce and hurt me. I always feel their presence like they’re watching me. I don’t take mediation. I’m hesitant on going back to the doctor. Sometimes I think they’re real based on how many people see them. It’s scary.

[@RitzIsEpic]

Take the fucking meds

[@alissalora6594]

When the paramedics got to you, it sent me into a panic attack. I could feel their hands, and the needle.

[@fairytalegirl1979]

I have this theory that the difference between schizophrenic people and people with anxiety is the audible voices. I feel like people with anxiety have the exact same thoughts while having a breakdown but only their subconscious mind can hear the voices and that's what triggers the anxiety.

I love life, thats why I had a hold on myself from committing suicide I Enjoy love, family, friends, work, and my illness almost took it all away. I thank God and everyone in my life for being present

[@piarossi4555]

The MOST important thing to remember if your friend or family member has a mental illness is this: we are no different from you. We have the same hopes, dreams,and needs as you. We want to love and be loved. We want to be happy and healthy. Please don't forget this.

[@anima8450]

I have schizoaffective disorder which is like bi polar and schizophrenia combined and I can say its been very hard. I have delusions and I hear voices. One time I thought God was speaking to me. Another time I hallucinated a giant door on the ground where there was huge flames coming out and my voices told me to enter hell because I'm being punished. The scariest thing that happened to me is I hallucinated I was getting my head cut off by a man with a chain saw and knives. I felt the blades hitting my throat and I felt the blood spewing out. I could smell the blood. It was the most terrifying thing I've ever experienced and I thought I actually died. I layed down and hallucinated bugs crawling on me like I was a corpse in a grave. I never have been able to tell anyone because they don't understand. How do I explain to someone I got my head cut off with a chainsaw but not really? It felt real. I start getting anxious just typing this. One time I believed I was a subject of a scientific experiment and the fbi planted chips in my body to monitor me and my recent surgery was a hoax for the fbi to plant devices in me. I also believed that my dog was a robot built by the fbi to do surveillance on me and my family. It was the scariest thing I have ever experienced. If feels like someone's after me and they're going to try to kill me. Sometimes I live in fear. I think, what if I stay like that all the time and i don't recover? It's like I'm gone. You see my body but in my mind that's not me anymore. My soul has left my body, I don't even recognize the people I love when I'm having a psychosis. The part that makes me sad is because of my illness people think im violent or a psycho criminal. I'm not violent, I'm just someone who got unlucky and has a rare brain disease.

[@albertorivera7841]

I was once taught in a Stanford lecture that schizophrenics are not any more violent that we non schizophrenic human beings. So I don't see why this stimulation is so aggressive. I was taught that they tend to be more of a danger to themselves than to society. I need an explanation.....

[@user-ek3ss3cw7k]

Alberto Rivera It's a defense mechanism. Some people think others are out to hurt them and when they are surrounded by people, they just snap and can be violent. I'm the type of schizophrenic (like most from my experience) who runs away without touching others but I've met plenty of people who punch/kick because they think they're about to be attacked. That's what paranoid schizophrenia does to you. Don't act like you know stuff just because you listened to some lecture. The real thing is completely different.

[@sarahbrennan1342]

Well said.. my friend was in hospital with schizophrenia and the nurse said, they are more likely to hurt themselves... and are very sensitive.. I agree not all people with this go around like that hitting out etc... I suppose everyone is different... but well said 🌺

[@kristyspeaks8309]

Alberto Rivera I agree! There is no violence in me even when I am extremely ill with the disease. Have you posted your lecture on KZbin?

[@Rose-kr8iz]

There are types of schizophrenia that act violent. This video isn't about ALL the types. It's focused on one type.

[@lunarsway]

I guess that depends on the person, like any non-schizofrenic as well. Some just are violent. It also depends on your flight/fight response. Some go flight (they run, they try to hide, etc.) while some go fight (which is seen in this video).

[@beardedavenger7654]

Just watching this video excludes one thing, when a non mentally ill person watches this they can rationalize what they are seeing is just a video but for someone that actually has this illness it is a desperate and very real reality that consumes you. Im not saying the video isn't good because it is very realistic and a pretty good representation why college was to overwhelming for me. Thank you for this video.

[@flamenphoenix1915]

I have a freind who has severe schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. She acts a bit strange due to her multiple mental illnesses, but she has improved sooooooo much. When she was younger her family (who many were also mentally ill) didn't believe she was ill and refused to get her treated. After she became a legal adult she started seeing therapists and taking medicine. She has improved so much since I met her in middle school and I'm proud of her for taking care of herself and getting herself to be better.

[@maysonduhtherian4126]

I have a strong chance of having schizophrenia, I have very stressful days where it’s worse than others. I have a lot of symptoms for this but it’s possible I don’t have it including; I hear voices harassing me and telling me to do things (for example “ Cut your wrist” “your worthless” “no body loves you” etc) I hear them physically as if they are there not as just simple words in my head of thoughts, I also see things that are in my head such as visions in front of my eyes (I’ll start seeing blood, knifes, horrific images, etc) they all flash at me and startle me. I think those are my main symptoms everyone thinks it’s just grief and stress from loosing my mum 2 years ago but it’s actually not and it makes it worse....it’s super hard when your own family don’t understand you Edit: sorry I have bad spelling

[@productunknown3985]

I got diagnosed with residual schizophrenia stemming from my mum who suffered from both schizophrenia and BPD, symptoms such as paranoid auditory hallucinations are pretty common for me where I hear everyone around me in a public space will be whispering negative things about me which has caused pretty severe panic attacks throughout highschool, it's made it really hard for me keep stable relationships with people or connect with people around me.

[@raymundonunez9485]

I used to have those voices in my head, not from Schizophrenia, but from anxiety, to be more specific it's classified as "social anxiety" which is always active if you're not alone. 1:40 is a perfect example

[@DisneyAndSpiritLover]

Whenever I'm in the dark, I see creatures with long legs on the floor. Kind of like spiders. They try to grab my legs so I hide them. I hear crackling noises like flames. I also hear a swoosh sound and sounds that replicate a TV noise (when the TV turns off with the black and white bits). Whenever I move, I see shadows in the corners of my eyes. When I'm doing daily activities, I sometimes see people that aren't there. I also hear my parents voices when they never said anything. I hear a child singing a lullaby, which freaks me out. I can also see her, rocking with a teddy bear. It's not fun. I'm on Quietiapine at the moment, it has helped a little.
