i have schizoaffective. which is basically schizophrenia + a mood disorder. it’s different for everyone. for me my symptoms slowly started coming when i was 17. now im 23, a mother, and doing great. you can live a normal happy life as long as you seek help and take care of yourself.

[@BedPotato786]

❤ you are strong and amazing.

[@allexmussen9107]

That's honestly super awesome. 8m glad you're doing good

[@Torraim]

That is amazing keep it up! :D

[@jealousyjones7907]

Yes totally agree. I have a friend who has moderate schizophrenia, and has worked on herself for years and has gotten help and also uses thc to help her. I also have ADD and extreme anxiety as well as a mood disorder. You can work through and you are very strong.

[@German_Matias]

If you or your friend use drugs to “stay calm”, you all are not healthy as you think ​@@jealousyjones7907

[@StrrySkiez]

The people saying that Roman's death wasn't that bad piss me off. It's not a good thing that you're desensitized to gore. And it doesn’t make you cool, it just sounds like you need help.

Aw that guy going "OH NO I TIMED THAT BAD" with the subscribe noise. :(

[@pigeon-peak]

That was me, was mortified it happened when it did ahahah

[@TheLegPumpkin]

The video of the guy entering that poor girl's room was stuck in my head making me miserable since I saw it. Honestly I wish i hadn't seen it and hate that people like him exist.

[@jessicag821]

For schizophrenia you need the "diathesis", which is the genetic predisposition and an event that sparks it. It's most commonly diagnosed in early adulthood, especially when people leave home for the first time because it's such a big stressor and change. And the event doesn't need to be like, one big traumatic thing (although it can be), just any stressful circumstance

[@thefalsegod0]

Those donation sounds could NOT be any more annoying if you tried lmao 😭

[@michelleobamafootcream9292]

For real they’re so distracting

[@meanpersona4686]

The last case - the parents should have been sued by the victim's families. They knew about their son's sickness and did nothing. It's not "he might be ill", they locked themselves in their bedrooms at night beacause they were scared of him, they knew he was at the point where he was dangerous to himself and others.

[@gargles5270]

was just about to say this thank you, it was so preventable and their son took the brunt of the trauma

[@CassieMichael]

The only image I get from the words "partially decapitated" is Nearly-Headless Nick in the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone movie showing WHY he was called "Nearly-Headless" to the kids while at the dinner table on the first night at Hogwarts. So, it's not like we haven't seen that sort of thing before. Traumatized everyone then.

[@xelectrix]

At least he missed the part where Crowley said the blade hit his face first, nearly splitting his head in half. So it's half decapitated and partially split. 😨

[@HistorianOfVaelris]

@@xelectrixgreat, now my brain is picturing an unholy fusion of Nearly Headless Nick and Kuchisake-Onna.

[@xlittlelolipopx]

It makes me grateful growing up my mom put my safety as first priority. She never had strange men live with us or strangers we didn’t know. We struggled growing up because she was a single mother of 4, but I’m so glad she loved us enough to keep us away from danger.

[@kenzieham]

Austin was not on drugs during the incident, however he was abusing hallucinogens in college that may have lead to his episodes.

[@SpicednoSugar]

Yeah probably didn't help, my cousin basically was in the same spot as him, football, drugs, fitness and abusing mushrooms triggered schizophrenia he didn't know he had. All the sudden he started becoming manic and thinking he was invincible, saying fucked up things on social media. I'm pretty sure he's in therapy now and is getting better, I stopped talking to him for things he did. The dude in this case eerily reminds me of my cousin, lowkey looks the same, acts the same, weird things man.

[@kenzieham]

@ Wow that’s awful, I hope he’s doing better now too!

[@CallumDowney]

Toothless dance party never disappoints.

[@dazedanddark]

i love to paint while listening to your content. especially when it’s true crime related.

[@kkozumey]

ur so gorgeous

[@inexena]

That's exactly what I'm doing right now!

[@ChristopherMueller-qm9us]

I’d hate to do something focus based while listening to his videos, simply because he chooses the most obnoxiously loud subscription notifications that completely take me out of the video. That’s the only gripe I have with this channel so far.

[@vxillan8671]

@@ChristopherMueller-qm9usIt’s a good distraction or something to mildly take your mind off what you just saw. watching stuff like this can ruin anyone’s day or mental because of how off putting it is. maybe you’re taking it the wrong ? i’m guessing you feel as though he’s making a joke out the crimes, nah more like bringing light to the situation so his chat and himself won’t be just be taking in this dark information and leaving with it straying on the mind.

[@KamiNoBaka1]

Think of schizophrenia as more of a category of interrelated disorders. For some, there are triggers. I had a friend who found out he was schizophrenic the first time he smoked weed. It made him super super paranoid and he started hallucinating, and it only partially went away when the weed wore off. Started seeing a shrink a few days later, and was pretty quickly diagnosed as schizophrenic.

[@attackinglizard3429]

The thing about Austin is that when the police arrived, he partially realized what he was doing, and begged the police to kill him

[@eggs5603]

THIS! He was horrified with what he was doing and the fact that he couldn't stop himself. Guy needed help, not what his family did

[@MrPeaTearGryfin]

You know, this was almost a good reaction, until your chat decided to start being obnoxious as shit with those terrible sub alerts

[@damnitsem]

I never want the toothless dance parties to end

[@dormantlime215]

it's well needed relief during videos like this lol

[@eyespliced]

I really wish this video was edited to cut out most of the chat interaction stuff, because every time I hear that ding, I think I got a new text, and the other noises are equally distracting.

[@novaatm]

Schizophrenia I believe is genetic and lies dormant in people, at least until a huge stressor or traumatic event triggers it. That’s something I’m deathly afraid of, as severe schizophrenia runs close in my family.

[@randomartz8417]

I hope the best for you

[@VHSdraws]

I still find the last story very sad, if only mental health was more normalized back then. Heck, I didn’t even get anti-depressants till my mid 20’s, and it made life so much easier, I’ll never go back! I’m not exactly sure what I have besides anxiety, depression, and possibly autism, but finally I felt my mind was at ease from a lot of frustration and small things that bothered me, like made my skin crawl! It just feels amazing and it greatly improved my life.

[@perturbedpigeon333]

As someone with a long history of psycosis, it started around 8 years old for me. And slowly got worse, I remember I told my mother about voices, seeing things, and thinking I wasn't real, she told me that it was just spirits and angels talking to me (she's not even religious just a hippy). She also insisted that I CANNOT ever tell anyone because they would call me crazy and lock me away forever. So I never told my therapist and ended up trying to un alive myself at 15. Still dealing with symptoms to this day but it's gotten a little easier. Drs thinks it's psychotic C-PTSD or schizoaffective (depressive type) or both lol

[@mōri_-3v3]

That's so messed up

[@lemonmeat]

that makes me worried for the future because since i was 5 ive had horrible derealization that as i get older puts me into grandiose(i think thats what its called??) episodes instead of just anxiety episodes i wish getting help wasnt such a privlege i hate living like this

[@silvallygamer123]

damn, glad you got the help you needed man

[@jackmarshall3255]

Just when I feel super depressed toothless comes in with the dance party and cheers me right up only for me to get depressed afterwards.

[@ZA-mb5di]

37:45 yes and no. It can have a catalyst to trigger symptoms in someone with the condition already and sometimes can cause the condition in someone without it as a result from trauma. It can also just happen at random Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about the trauma being a cause for people getting the condition

[@silverMDX]

That young man became Nearly Headless Nick and moved to Hogwarts. (on a more serious note, may he rest in peace)

[@3bodYking99]

48:31 i COMPLETELY don't agree. Why would you punish someone for something completely out of his control? You could see the psych ward as punishment, and, ok, he NEEDS that to fix his head, but he does NOT deserve punishment for going insane, with no fault of his own. His parents are more at fault for not getting him help, or encouraging him to seek help, they let this happen. He had no control over it. Would you say someone passing out while driving, no drugs, no alcohol, just passing out and hitting people, is at fault? Or an accident?

[@thatonebraziliancity822]

obviously this doesn't go for all mental health facilities, but, I've heard some people beg to get sent to prison after being in some certain institutions for a while. I do hope that this guy gets the help that he needs, shame on his parents, they should probably minimally get fined for negligence. I unfortunately can't find much empathy for him as actions were so sickening and vile that it's hard to imagine anyone doing that without any realization of their actions in the moment, even if it's definitely possible that he's a good man that was truly 100% gone mentally, seeing his eyes completely devoid of any emotion on that stand was terrifying. Damn this is complicated....

[@ThePunkina1]

Schizophrenia literally makes it impossible to tell what's real or not when you get to stages like that that person literally has no control over their actions this happens because it's not treated and taken seriously it's mostly on his parents for not doing anything about their kids health and now he has to live a life knowing he did that and his parents to blame they should be charged for neglect

[@ediblefredible]

"its hard to imagine" see this is the problem right here. way too common that when people can't personally imagine what something is like they just write it off as bs, or don't have any empathy for the person, etc. its a shitty mindset to have, frankly

[@anonymousopinion228]

The last one is one of the times when im glad neither one was saved. Like image being cut up and having bite chunks taken out of you and your wife is dead and you somehow surrive. That would be a terrible existence after.

[@alexanderwright4218]

It's wild to think that my ex knew the guy in the last case, she went to school with him if I remember right.

[@RedHotMessResell]

Omg I can’t believe that model helicopter literally bay-bladed that guys neck. Omg

[@tw9991]

38:05 there was this guy I was friends with since middle school , we ended up at the same college. He was a REALLY smart kid and had a lot going for college. He started smoking weed and that triggered his schizophrenia. He didn’t even know he had it before then. And he honestly was never the same, dropped out and all. Perhaps the THC is what triggered it for him too. It’s a thing.

[@xoparadigm]

3:34 i’m from dubuque iowa, east dubuque illinois is right across the Mississippi from us (east dbq is basically an extension of dbq that goes across the river) and its an extremely small town compared to dubuque (less that 2k population). im not surprised that there was no search party, bc the cops over there are not the best. they have like three officers over there & their station is insanely small. they mainly rely on dbq cops. i’ve never heard of this case before & i’ve lived here all my life. poor cheyenne:((

[@KHMaggot67]

26:45 made me giggle, perfectly timed alert

[@bloodyneptune]

About the other guy they mentioned that ate a guys face while on high bath salts: no he wasnt. When the toxicology finally came back, they found out the only thing in his system was low levels of THC. Like, 'smoked a joint the night before' levels.

[@a-simpler-time]

Brother, that guy is probably never leaving that facility, i think we're good g

[@samanthabackman1444]

Schizophrenia is like any other mental illness. Let's take anxiety for instance! Anxiety can come on gradually as a result of internal stimuli (not being sure about tests, speaking in front of crowds, those "small" things) or external stimuli (someone telling you you're not good enough, not to do something, etc). Or it can come on by a catalyst, say a traumatic event or drugs that alter your brain chemistry in juuuuust the wrong way. Schizophrenia is the same way. It can come on gradually, so gradually that you don't notice it but others around you might because you're starting to get a bit weird compared to usual. There's even cases of childhood/juvenile schizophrenia where the signs are there from a very young age and it's even more jarring because you don't expect a child to exhibit those sorts of symptoms. In people who are already predisposed to schizophrenia, a traumatic event or drugs can absolutely sort of "activate" that dormant schizophrenia and pull it up to the surface. That's how it's believed to have happened with that college football player who ate the guy's face that you referenced in this video: taking drugs accelerated the schizophrenia genes he got from his dad's side and pulled it up to the surface, causing his psychotic break. It's really interesting stuff, as someone who has a family history of it! Another fun fact! Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are comorbid! What that means, is if you inherit one, you inherit both :) Family history of bipolar? Hah! You also have family history of schizophrenia. You may not exhibit symptoms of both, but say your mom has bipolar disorder, you could develop either. It was found in twin studies, which I also find extremely fascinating.

[@michaelaldan6969]

[@keojiabrown6807]

I couldve sworn in mr ballen video he said that parents put dude under that thing where even though he was grown his parents could put him under medical help for like a few days but it was too late. By the time it all got arranged he ended up doing this a few days before. Or something🤷🏾‍♀️

[@hoeidk]

yeah it’s called a Baker Act and it’s a law here in Florida where the family of someone with mental health issues can get them involuntary committed somewhere and hopefully get them diagnosed if they haven’t been already and begin a treatment plan (most likely medications), as well as keep them under observation so they cannot hurt themselves or others.
