That’s because coffee has caffeine and the caffeine helps a schizophrenic feel better, I realized this because my sister says it provides dopamine and a schizophrenic craves dopamine; so much that it causes psychosis. Very sad stuff.

I don't have schizophrenia but I suffered from PTSD for 5 years. After the trauma that caused it my brain never turned off. There was always doubt and my internal voice that was constantly there. Even in my sleep my mind was constantly going observing any and every sound. It was a miserable and dark time, but thankfully I was able to get help. Now everything is quiet for 2 years I have enjoyed peace and quiet. I sometimes get up early just to have quiet time, bc my mom is the total opposite. As soon as she wakes up she turns on tvs and radios bc it reminds her of when she was growing up there was always noise in their big family. My heart goes out to anyone having to deal with this. It's nerve-wrecking, but people manage to soldier on through it. But when they do have a break through they appreciate silence and the things most of us take for granted.

Psychiatric institutions are not for the faint-hearted. My (former) stepdaughter turned up at my door one day in an appalling mental state. She is schizophrenic (delusional and suicidal) and on this occasion, about as far out of reality as its possible to get. A few days later I had her sent to such a place. Her parents and siblings would not even discuss her. Already looking after my autistic son, I felt I was able to cope. I was wrong. It's a full-time job with 24/24 supervision. The first few visits were quiet enough for me. Not sure she was even aware that I was there. Then, as my face became familiar to others, they started to introduce themselves. The visits were regular and it got to the point where I was almost mobbed. There were one or two that I would not turn my back on but, as a rule, they were friendly enough. Visitors were rare for all of them. I would get requests for chocolate, biscuits and other stuff. Curiously, it was always stuff they could get easily enough in the hospital. I often wondered if the loneliness was causing more damage than their vulnerability would on the outside. Not really, none would have survived long. The films and the media give the impression that these people are very manipulative (some are). In reality, most are very vulnerable and easily led. The areas I visited were for the 'safer' and less erratic patients. I didn't get to see the others but, I heard them. It's very disturbing.

When my meditating was at it's longest like 10- 18 hours a day for 10 days. You're body reaches for the mind and the mind is detached. At this point I realized I could see the shape of thoughts as they came in my body and I could identify other realms of space. With that said your experience is limited by your minds imagination. So all that I've seen might have been real but only through my limited tools of the human imagination. But once the mind leaves the body . The talking can come from anywhere.

[@ericastier1646]

I once had a girlfriend who i later found had serious mental problems. I recognize in this video that my gf could enter a similar state but also at other time act totally normally and nobody would know. I believe that in the presented state (which is permanent for the subject in the video) she recedes to a very young memory of herself, a time when life had not yet hurt her profoundly so that she could feel intact even if that means being a 6 year old shy child psychologically which is the mental state of the woman in the video. I think schizophrenia has nothing to do with being crazy, it's about protecting whatever is left of her own self representation to cope with living. The reason for the damaged self representation is usually the hardest to find but more often than not tied to a trauma that occured in childhood that left a blank in the personality. Later in life if additional stress and bereavement is added, that black hole in the self representation might grow and become a dominant part or problem which is when the name schizophrenia is given. But really it is just normal coping of the mind with very challenging episodes in life that can no longer be remedied, so the individual find ways around it that to us look like they are crazy but we would do the same if we had gone through their lives. Back to my gf, i eventually had to break up when it became clear she had no wish for and probably was not fit to raise a child. And that was no easy way out, it was a real reason. That said, it is wrong to look at people with mental problems to be simply personification of something bad, they're just struggling with a life that you may not be able to cope with if it was yours or maybe would do exactly what they are doing. The problem is they can not be functional in society. Love and understanding are always beneficial and some therapy can improve the mental stability. Some people are functional schizophrenics who know of their condition but are able to not let it interfere with interaction with others. Though usually their partner if they have one would know.

"you must be feeling very lonesome" doesn't sound very gentle to me. It's literally like pushing that idea on the patient and like in a way forcing them to accept what they said. The word 'must' isn't the right word here. He only said "are you?" later. And you can clearly see her reaction after that sentence or question. She hesitantly said "yes" and started smiling, which indicates that she's trying to avoid any danger or punishment and just surrendering by agreeing or accepting what she thought they wanted her to do.

My mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia.....she died in 2011.....I am now 62....when she died I was with her........I was torn between sorrow of her death and happy that her torturous life was finally over....looking back on her life the signs were apparent even as a child. Her mother who I loved dearly was a high society lady who never accepted her daughter's lack of measuring up. When my mother got glasses as a child her mother cried. Growing up as a child all seemed normal. Then when I was about 10 years old I witnessed things that now looking back were signs that things were not right with her. Listening to sad music and crying...not normal. Several things happened later that impacted my life when both my parents were drunk were torturous.....when they built a brand new house (every married couple's dream) we moved into the new house. I found it odd that boxes were never unpacked. When my father left it was just my brother and I. My mother would lay on the couch and stare at the walls smoking cigarettes with the ash tray over flowing on the floor. If there is a hell on earth this was it...I lived it....I could not take it anymore and moved in with my father. Over the years my mother was a terrible alcoholic....I had to take her to the hospital multiple times...her room was covered in empty beer cans and the closet had a large moving box with empty bottles of Jack Daniels whiskey bottles.....she almost died once and they had to pump her stomach....she ended up in a psychiatric hospital......later she moved into a cabin my uncle owned....then she went to the nursing home where she lived the rest of her life. I would visit her.....I never stopped seeing my mother. She had once told me I was the best thing that ever happened to her.....my point is that I always loved my mother in spite of what she was and had been. All of this made my life more difficult than most but I over came and I have lived a good life in spite of all this.

If you (or someone you know) can see/hear spirits, you are NOT alone or CRAZY ! Unless you had a serious head injury or dose on illegal drugs regularly. You are like me a person with a third eye/ear capability. We represent about 10% of humanity. I was Paranoid Schizophrenic for sometime too. I did the meds and therapies too, but there seem to be no end/final cure. So I did my own research. BTW, I am a Civil Engineer with a highly analytical mind. Once I knew the REAL reason (Spirits) I was set FREE ! I even turned the tables on the evil spirits. I TORMENTED them with Worship Songs, Quoted Holy Scripture to them. Even called them names and mocked them. It drove them away. The spirits would come back a few days later but I gave them the SAME treatment. Eventually they gave up. I've been meds free for the last 16 years now. The spirits no longer bother me, because I'm NO LONGER FUN to torment. The spirits prefer SCARED & CONFUSED victims. So Im sharing my experience and insights. You can get schizophrenia from various reasons like a serious head injury, regular use of illegal drugs, practice of black magic, or traumatic events like rape, bullying, rejection, total isolation, death of a loved one or near-death experience. Anything that seriously WEAKENS your body, EMBITTERS your soul, and affects your FAITH in God, also WEAKENS your protective spiritual AURA and allows the evil spirits to communicate with you. You can pick RANDOM evil spirits from morgue, cemeteries, hospitals, asylums, jails, dungeons, and abandoned houses and isolated forests. Our physical and spirit worlds exists in parallel dimensions, separated by force fields. The spirits can see/hear us, we can't see/hear them NORMALLY. Spirits communicate by MENTAL TELEPATHY ( mind to mind ) that's why ONLY you can see or hear them. That's why the spirits can also READ YOUR MIND/THOUGHTS ! You can also secretly TALK/SHOUT to them by TELEPATHY - in the presence of other people. No one will notice & think you're CRAZY ! Ive done this a few times & forced the spirits away. Spirits can also DISTORT human speech. For example if your friend says " Hello, What's Up ? " it will sound like " You're UGLY & STUPID ! " and so you'll get ANGRY. That's how spirits make you PARANOID & anti-social. The speech DISTORTION happens only a few SECONDS ! The speakers face suddenly changes to an UGLY facial expression ! The Spirits TRUE FACE shows like a dwarf or leprechaun ! Then the face reverts back to normal and the speaker is NOT even aware of what happened. He'll wonder why you're angry at him ! I've seen this many times !! The evil spirits want to isolate you socially. You're their TOY ! Some spirits can also SHAPE SHIFT - appear in ANY form (animal or people). They can IMITATE other peoples LOOKS/VOICES and pretend like real people. Spirits can also produce SOUNDS like knocking on doors, footsteps, crying or screaming people, scratching on walls, police sirens, barking dogs etc. Their plan is to scare and ISOLATE you socially .. for themselves. Make people think you're CRAZY .. even if you re NOT. Resist them, Don't give up .. or you're really gonna end up crazy. Remember this, its NOT you but THEM (spirits) that's causing this. Fight them, mock them, EXORCISE them out of your house/life... eventually they'll give up and leave. .

My brother has schizophrenia and my father had mental issues . I feel for people that have them and wish society was a bit more understanding . When I was at work the other day the conversation was about mental illness . I said that everyone suffers from mental problems one time or another but the sad thing is they don't talk about it but keep it hidden and bottled up. You could hear a pin drop , the silence spoke volumes. It's a shame that even in the 21st century it has a massive stigma .

[@napoleonaquino9347]

If you (or someone you know) can see/hear spirits, you are NOT alone or CRAZY ! Unless you had a serious head injury or dose on illegal drugs regularly. You are like me a person with a third eye/ear capability. We represent about 10% of humanity. I was Paranoid Schizophrenic for sometime too. I did the meds and therapies too, but there seem to be no end/final cure. So I did my own research. BTW, I am a Civil Engineer with a highly analytical mind. Once I knew the REAL reason (Spirits) I was set FREE ! I even turned the tables on the evil spirits. I TORMENTED them with Worship Songs, Quoted Holy Scripture to them. Even called them names and mocked them. It drove them away. The spirits would come back a few days later but I gave them the SAME treatment. Eventually they gave up. I've been meds free for the last 16 years now. The spirits no longer bother me, because I'm NO LONGER FUN to torment. The spirits prefer SCARED & CONFUSED victims. So Im sharing my experience and insights. You can get schizophrenia from various reasons like a serious head injury, regular use of illegal drugs, practice of black magic, or traumatic events like rape, bullying, rejection, total isolation, death of a loved one or near-death experience. Anything that seriously WEAKENS your body, EMBITTERS your soul, and affects your FAITH in God, also WEAKENS your protective spiritual AURA and allows the evil spirits to communicate with you. You can pick RANDOM evil spirits from morgue, cemeteries, hospitals, asylums, jails, dungeons, and abandoned houses and isolated forests. Our physical and spirit worlds exists in parallel dimensions, separated by force fields. The spirits can see/hear us, we can't see/hear them NORMALLY. Spirits communicate by MENTAL TELEPATHY ( mind to mind ) that's why ONLY you can see or hear them. That's why the spirits can also READ YOUR MIND/THOUGHTS ! You can also secretly TALK/SHOUT to them by TELEPATHY - in the presence of other people. No one will notice & think you're CRAZY ! Ive done this a few times & forced the spirits away. Spirits can also DISTORT human speech. For example if your friend says " Hello, What's Up ? " it will sound like " You're UGLY & STUPID ! " and so you'll get ANGRY. That's how spirits make you PARANOID & anti-social. The speech DISTORTION happens only a few SECONDS ! The speakers face suddenly changes to an UGLY facial expression ! The Spirits TRUE FACE shows like a dwarf or leprechaun ! Then the face reverts back to normal and the speaker is NOT even aware of what happened. He'll wonder why you're angry at him ! I've seen this many times !! The evil spirits want to isolate you socially. You're their TOY ! Some spirits can also SHAPE SHIFT - appear in ANY form (animal or people). They can IMITATE other peoples LOOKS/VOICES and pretend like real people. Spirits can also produce SOUNDS like knocking on doors, footsteps, crying or screaming people, scratching on walls, police sirens, barking dogs etc. Their plan is to scare and ISOLATE you socially .. for themselves. Make people think you're CRAZY .. even if you re NOT. Resist them, Don't give up .. or you're really gonna end up crazy. Remember this, its NOT you but THEM (spirits) that's causing this. Fight them, mock them, EXORCISE them out of your house/life... eventually they'll give up and leave. .

My neighbor and friend just died last weekend, and I am saddened by this. He had schizophrenia, but had treatments injected once a week. He was the kindest man I think I have ever seen. He was riddled with alcoholism and smoking, but he had lived to around 60 years old. I will miss him dearly, and I'd like to thank all the doctors of the past and the now of attempting their best to give him a normal life, and I'd like to thank the people who have fought for people in their condition to support them financially through their difficult lives. He was the person I was always looking forward to seeing when I went outside of my flat, and I wish I could have him back. Thank you to you as well for being interested in these topics. It is extremely important and whatever we can do to help should be a great priority. He likely drank himself to death, but I think that is fine, because it did make him seemingly happier. He would have died decades ago if it weren't for all the good people that have the ability to help. He has brought joy to myself and many others by just being himself. I love him dearly, and I hope I can be one of the men to carry him to his grave, and tell his family, that his life has kept me alive as well, with my spirits up. His goodness has been unmatched by anyone I have ever known. I saw him days before his passing. We used to sit and talk for a smoke or two if I had had a night out and he would happen to be out smoking as I returned. I will never have this again with him, and I hope I never forget his voice, and his way of being. There is nothing more important than the goodness of heart. Nothing else matters in the end, and we can be glad that most of us do not have these issues, and can gladly make their peoples stay here on earth the best as possible without judgment. There is also nothing as sad as losing a good man. I will always love him, and I always treated him with respect, and he treated everyone with enormous gratitude and love. There are no words to describe this man in manner worthy of his existence. Thank you to all who directly and indirectly make the lives of others bearable. I mean it, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for allowing him to do the little things that made him even slightly happy at times. People are amazing creatures, and the best thing we are good at is loving and understanding. Nothing else matters in this world.

I feel for this woman. She does have a soothing voice for sure.

[@Teabone3]

Her excitement when he said lets grab coffee

[@stilltlrforlife]

What a sweet soul she was, she just wanted people to visit her and talk quietly with.

[@robertpiasta]

She smiles at him and he does not reciprocate. You can get crazy by talking to someone like that.

[@YouTube.Notiflcation]

Piastun I was sectioned under the mental health act for self harm, I have never had a history of psychosis. At the end of my visit I was psychotic but I hid it. It truly does make you insane talking to doctors who don't give a shit and never smile.

Adding to the analytical nature of the interviewer which is basically unnatural in the conversation he's creating. It's scrutinizing, and nobody would feel joy or enthusiasm responding to that.

James Russell Cotes You are a smart dude James. You should read the books Games People Play and Games Alcoholics Play if that one interests you.

[@DrBotwing]

Am I the only one who felt that she was smiling cause she was very shy (like a kid) being filmed? And she started talking about lunch and was very happy not about the coffee itself, but the fact she finally found the way to end that frustrating conversation?

[@thunderwolf234]

I'd absolutely like to be her friend! She comes across as likeable and a very gentle soul.

Thanks, Dr. Lehmann for helping get well all those years ago. You were a great human being.

She’s so soft spoken, like Marilyn Monroe. Guess most women spoke in this manner back then

@EM theres nothing wrong with it if they choose to live that lifestyle, its just it was pushed onto women to act that way. it was forced. and now women have more freedom and arent forced to be submissive

@EM you're saying that because you live in the generation where women have rights, stfu

She's so sweet and fascinating, yet there must be such turmoil going on in her mind. Almost brings me to tears. You can see pain and weariness in her eyes. Wish I could have hugged her and given her some reassurance.

One of my family members have schizophrenia. She was in and out of institutions for 10 years until she found a good church. They are very supportive, visit her frequently, involve her in things, love her the way she is and encourage her to take her medicine. She is so much better and haven't been hospitalized for 4 years.

[@Uhlbelk]

So it has little to do with church, and only having a social support network.

[@marinagaughtblattz2879]

I was institutionalized for a week due to depression a few years ago, and there was one patient in my ward who was schizophrenic. He’d been there for two months, and he didn’t talk much at all, and when he did he just kind of explained his diagnosis with textbook definitions (e.g., “I have delusions of reference, like I’ll sometimes think that the people in the TV are talking to me personally.”) I tried to engage with him, but the most personal interaction I ever got from him was that he told me that he missed his mom when I asked him how he was doing one day. It was very sad and he seemed so alone. His mom did visit him twice while I was there though, so she seemed pretty supportive, which was nice to see.

[@tieiatalks]

Marina Gaughtblattz I hope you’re doing better! Brave of you to share. 💕💐

[@Sarah.Riedel]

The moment where she goes silent and seems distressed and says "In my head I'm dead...my head goes up there, when I'm quiet..." is heartbreaking. You can tell she's struggling to make sense of a chaotic and terrifying internal experience that neither science nor society had words for.

[@mogwaijizm872]

aren't we all going through that tho,, does anyone really know what or who they are,,isn't everything confusing,,nothing seems to make sense ,,the so called doctors seem like the crazy ones,,

[@major600]

It always sounds to me like she's saying, "Is my head up there? Is my head up there? My head goes up/down when I'm quiet". It doesn't make any sense, but then it wouldn't. :-/

As with the majority of these cases, these folks aren’t really being rehabilitated, they’re moreso just being made comfortable. Thankfully, modern medicine and therapeutics have made indefinite hospital stays less necessary for people with a variety of mental disorders.

[@shrawasti798]

My mother had schizophrenia but luckily it was diagnosed at its earlier stage and she takes the meds everyday, so now she is completely fine. She even does guided meditation and now she is so serene and peaceful that no one would even think at first glance that she has a mental illness. For people with mental illness, family support is a *must* My father never left my mother when she had lost her sanity and he was with her all through the journey. Ten years ago having schizophrenia was scary in India and still is but with proper treatment and support, they could be healed completely.

[@caelanoldacc]

this is such a wonderful story. wishing all the best for your mother and your father too 💛💛

[@dumdumdumdum8804]

You are stupid dear, It is not a mental illness, difficult to convince the crowd who are programmed to think it as a mental illness. It is just that some occult hiding in a secret US military industrial complex is sending scaler signals to her brain in which people talk as simple as that, there are various simulators available in the net you can listen to it. These same occult create these psychotic drugs to damage her good brain and brainwash you into believing that is doing better. She just needs someone to listen to her and do meditation thats it.

This poor woman, SO soft-spoken, who's trapped in a constant battle between her mind, her senses, her wits, her emotions, and her environment. It would have been interesting, or at least I would've found it to be interesting, to have heard her a few minutes at the helm of a piano, with HER ticklin' those ivories and takin' command of a small portion of her life which offers up some amount of joy and a freedom to both come from and fillup her heart, hers all her own, either her own music or from another with her body, mind, fingers, and, an instrument, piano in this case, workin' in tandem to create a beautiful sound all the rest of the world can hear, and, enjoy; to see her taking command of this small part of her where too often it is the other way around where her life commands all her actions and being as a person would have been a special moment for us, to've witnessed, a special one for her to share, and for us to have shared with her. Bless her, and her heart, and I hope she's found peace at last wherever she is wherever it is we go when our times and lives in this world have ended, and the next is startin' up, where this world may mean THE END of our bodies, well, as for our spirits, that time has just begun! RIP and bless those who might happen to read this, everyone else as well... ✌👫💏👬💑👭💏👫🙏👌
