The genetics of schizophrenia are very strong. And then there is the trigger, with Syd it was LSD; my son’s schizophrenia was triggered by marijuana. Syd’s erratic behavior and labile mood, then his withdrawal from the world, living with family the rest of his life is schizophrenia. It’s a horrible disease. Very lonely.

[@fatbelly27]

He was actually a very good guitarist and usually played lead. He was the main vocalist. He was a great front man in their early days. But his great talent and what we still talk about today is his songwriting, which is unique.

[@mcnuttington7122]

This video is super underrated

[@shewolfcub3]

Actually, he was a creative genius and one of the best frontmen, not as good as Roger but very amazing. Syd was an artist who painted vivid images in your mind through witty and beautiful lyrics and incredible otherworldly performances

[@kikiki4592]

Suicidal? Violent? No reports at all of this, pure rubbish. He was a ecenrtric, yet not mad or any of this. He was a man out of time.

[@roniboy99]

Syd was tipped off that floyd was making a record in abbey road that portrayed him as a bit mad , that is why he turned up the day they were recording wish you were here , he shaved his eyebrows and was jumping up and down while brushing his teeth , just to give a wind up to them for saying he was mad , syd was. Not as mad as they said but was a bit disturbed that they said he was hence acting it out

[@WillStephensArt]

Syd is as much of an icon as them all

Syd was such a good looking young man. I bet the groupies chased him.

One thing everyone misses. He was hospitalized a few times, and seen doctors for his mental health and they could never diagnose him with anything. Jugband, along with his final rehersal with them on Have You Got It Yet, show he was still there. He was a painter who at this time was using his insturments and words for his brushes and paint, all abstracts just like the paintings he continued making until he died in 06. He led a quiet life, yet he did live, and fuction. He was always at London's top art galleries, and took care of himself after his mother had died. He also worked on the reissues, just by phone, yet his input was there, as he also worked with Mick Rock in 2002 on Mick's book. He was a ecentric man, and a loner, and smart, sharp and witty, yet not crazy, or a schizoephranic like Roger Waters wanted us all to believe. Waters wanted fame and knew he could not get it from Syd who was anti fame after his first taste, so Waters messed with him, and was also the one spiking his tea and coffee with extra lsd to push him out to take over the band. Waters then used the "madness" to gain fame. Thankfully Gilmour didnt allow him to get his way later and took over the Floyd, and also started doing reissues, and putting Syd's songs on them and live albums so that Syd could get some of the finacial gains he deserved and needed. Syd was just like Tesla, Musk, Jung, a mind to big for us simple folks to comprehend. They are the normal ones, we are not.

Some truths and much fantasy in this and most comments on YT especially about this . 🍻

[@allaboutthebclicksinnit1148]

Diagnosing mental health in the 70s was basically a joke and more or less a lottery. Understanding of mental health has moved on massively since then, when it had hardly changed since the 1800s. Even now, it is not exact and there is still lot not understood - but was it not also the point that when his sister took him to a private place in the 70s, they maybe did not diagnose anything as it was not worth it,. By that time he as ? Often "diagnosis" came about after a manic episode or some incident, rather than someone just walking in. Your comment exactly expresses the ignorance about mental health and schizophrenia. Someone with schizophrenia can be functional' but sorry, Syd Barrett had all the symptoms of what is called' schizophrenia' or longer term psychotic issues or Schizoaffective disorder - not just for one or two days but for YEARS. That includes long bouts of catatonia, disorganised incoherent speech, deep paranoid 9( believed his management wanted to kidnap him ) - the denial of mental health problems, just causes even more problems You or anyone cannot judge how people reacted back then either. They all wanted him to get better, of course for the band but also for him. They helped make records until it was just time to give up. He once spent almost 13 hours on takes for Barrett just strumming wildly up and down the guitar This is someone who is not mentally well. When you go to a house of a friend you have not seen in years and they just stare as if you are not even in the room, that is not a functioning person no matter how much you can say, "oh he is a Shaman" which is turning mental illness into jesus like figures. Syd Barrett had a spectacular mental breakdown and that is the end of the mystery really. No conspiracy. Just people trying to get on. Just a shocking thing for people to wrap their heads around He died a double millionaire because they made always sure to paly his songs and have them on records and so he go money from them. You can go to a high security psychiatric unit and see functioning' people' does not mean anything. Listen to people like Andrew King and his how it affected all of them. It is extremely traumatic and confusing to have a someone near you totally lose their mind. It affected them and for you or anyone to pas judgement on how they should act, is just ridiculous. I'd say try and be around someone you know who is like this and then decide.

Feel bad for him.

[@squareeyedgit]

Syd was reportedly a very happy, extrovert, and creative (albeit eccentric) individual before he was damaged irreparably by too much LSD. This video seems to be implying that he was ill to the same level BEFORE he overdosed, which I'm not sure is correct. I'd say it's fairly common knowledge that there is a grey area where creativity and 'insanity' meet. Also, many people can have a tendency toward schizophrenia and related conditions but not have them manifest unless exposed to mind-altering substances. I fail to see the real relevance of putting anything about Syd Barrett into this video other than to attract more views.

[@baudelaire2169]

Im pretty sure he was an introvert

[@allaboutthebclicksinnit1148]

He was an ebullient happy kid who had an unusual upbringing in that his mother let him do whatever he liked. However friends noted that he could have periods of just quiet observation and also he could become confrontational with art teachers when at Cambridge Artschool. Life is pretty easy when your mother lets you do whatever the heck you like but then when you have a ew more pressures n life and too much LSD, it might spell disaster.

[@poddel]

There is question about the diagnosis, actually as known there where no actual diagnos made. It can be something on the AST spectra (autismspectrumdisorder) as debated in article by Mario Campanella (2015). if it actually was "aspberger syndrome". A quite different condition with high grade of vulnerability for outer stimuli, stress, drugs, and psychosocial pressure. "Schizophrenia" may in many cases been a "dustbin" diagnos for mental health professionals eager to make a diagnose with poor much evidence for it. Anyway the outcome for Syd is the same, if he lived under different circumstances might be understood more fully and treated in another way, his life may have taken another direction - this is just speculations.

[@dianeellis3925]

Syd had what I think was his first hallucination in Grantchester Park he saw and communicated with the Greek mythological creature Pan whom he said inspired his music. I worked with schizophrenics. They are typically very intelligent and interesting (at times) to talk to. I would e liked to have known Syd

[@kikiki4592]

Waters brought him to Abbey Road that day, and Syd knew what was going on. He had played up until 74 the year before and they knew his appearance had changed. He played along, and pushed his belly out to appear fat and screwed with them by brushing his teeth, a joke he was playign on Waters who had bad teeth and breath. They asked him what he thought of the song, and he said it sounded old, cause it was, it used parts of Instellar Overdrive, it used parts of his lyrics in 4 of his songs, so he was telling the truth. Yet this was all a Waters deal to keep the narrative alive that he was the madman.

[@vladimirlem1104]

Have you got it yet ?

[@fredcook3744]

LSD became the wrong drug for Syd he needed the right medication but to little was known about what was happing to him I went through the exact same thing my way out was to abstain from drugs witch is probably what he figured out after he left the world

Not sure if the narrator is actually talking about schizoaffective disorder or schizotypal personality disorder. Schizoaffective disorder is like having schizophrenia and bipolar together. Schizophrenia is a thought disorder and bipolar is a mood disorder. Schizotypal personality disorder is on the schizophrenia spectrum. Confusing or what? People who have schizophrenia, the thought disorder and the most serious of all mental illnesses, are quite disabled and whatever creativity or other accomplishments they may have had before, are usually lost or at least hampered. I’m not an expert, just a mother, my son suffers from schizophrenia and what I see in Syd is schizophrenia. God bless his heart :(

[@classygary]

Yes it is “confusing” especially as he continued to create and from all reports function on a practical level @ least in terms of looking after himself. Many artists blossom @ a young age (as did he with his music and art) yet quickly lose the original inspiration abet for various reasons not the least of which because of the demands the business side puts on them as I can personally attest to to some degree myself and subsequently bow out or over time show less “genius” for it as did he and this can be seen by just looking @ his artwork although to be fair some of his later works seem to display a bit of a renaissance for him on that particular front . This would hold true to a great degree even by his own admission @ least where his music was concerned with say someone of the stature of Bob Dylan . I think Syd Barret was on the Aspergers Spectrum and for a time became schizophrenic “like” but quite possibly recovered from his LSD abuse which triggered the latter but both also all of it taken into account seems to have contributed to in a paradoxical manner to his overall creativity as such . I think people make too much of his alleged “genius” and his departure from the music business as it were . I would also point out that the fact that the band he started deservingly experienced unprecedented fame, longevity and output in comparison to most bands of that era and their particular era with Syd cast a huge shadow on him as it would anyone in the shoes he originally filled . “All things pass all things pass away” .
