I have a double Psychology lesson tomorrow, well I guess today now seeing as it is 12:05 and we are starting Schizophrenia so this should be extremely helpful. Thanks once again man!

[@NataliaJuliaNowak]

WOW, very interesting facts! Your channel is definitely underrated!

[@PsychBoost]

100% 😄

[@robbienoble1942]

Thank you so much! I needed this to help me understand a book I was reading about understanding violence and schizophrenia came up in it. In order to understand the context, this video helped enormously! Thank you and I hope your cat is okay

[@saadhafejee1742]

Hi psychboost, I find your summary videos for each topic really helpful - are you planning to continue creating them for Biopsychology onwards?

[@PsychBoost]

Hey, yeah. It's in my list of tasks to do, but closer to the exams.

[@taifrahman6483]

All of your content is amazing! Will you be doing the 20mins revision for the other sections in P3? And Bio psych? Thanks Again!!

[@PsychBoost]

Cheers, 🙂 Yeah you should have most of them before the exams this year.

[@rushaniarumugham2396]

Thank you, this really helped me.

[@jackroberts8981]

Hi psychboost!! Just wondering when the 20 minutes summary vidoe of this topic will come out as they are so helpful!

[@abithurlow5357]

Couldn’t agree more! Exam is in a week haha:)

[@aaliaraza8442]

At 3:21 you said we would classify disorganised speech as a positive symptom, but Isn’t it negative ?

[@PsychBoost]

Well this is an interesting point. Negative symptoms are a loss of a function we would expect to see in a healthy person, so lack of motivation (avolition), and when it comes to speech a lack of words (speech poverty). Or a lack of emotional tone in the voice (flat affect) But positive symptoms are what we see in addition to normal experience, so hallucinations and delusions. But for some people their speech is excessively disorganized in a way we don't see people without SZ, and their conversation goes off on unconnected tangents (speech derailment) as these are additional we would define them as positive. So in short speech issues can be either positive or negative depending on the exact symptom.

@@PsychBoost thank you! I have a test on SZ tomorrow morning so I’m gona binge yur videos tonight😅

[@PsychBoost]

Good luck Aalia! new SZ videos are short at least. Also the unit is pretty good, doesn't drag like some of the others.

[@yagmurxx869]

just a question, how comes Beck is not on the mark scheme?

[@darranrasakumar1779]

is there a video on the cognitive explanation for schiz?

[@shaylaharper7536]

This was really helpful thank you!

[@imogenseal8703]

Would you beable to make a playlist on forensics ?

[@PsychBoost]

Hey, I will be starting the work on forensics in the Christmas holidays. Should be releasing it around February march.

[@sofiab1627]

i thought men were just more likely to be diagnosed, not more likely to develop it?

[@PsychBoost]

Hey Sofia, when I was doing my research for the video there was a lot of conflicting research. Much of it to do with a lack of gender bias in samples. Too much to get into in such a short vid and at the level of A-level. I don't think you are wrong to take either argument as there will be research to support your position on this one!
