What is schizophrenia? - Anees Bahji

[@Beanhill_94]

This is why people get irritated at bad depictions of mental illnesses in media. Very informative!

[@Beanhill_94]

@Mansuba's Counseling User the video linked is for pooping in Bombay slums not schizophrenia in India. But yes I know that the current state of these things is not very good in India. The society views and understanding of the mental illnesses is terrible. The laws are vague. And infrastructure is missing. Most people assume its demonic possession or something similar. The solution is generally chaining people in temples or mosques.

[@Beanhill_94]

@Crazy Pants I hope you're dealing with it as well as you can. I have more manageable things like anxiety depression and ADHD. And like most people don't understand anything related to mental illness. And that leads to horrible treatment. So I can't even fathom how people treat others with these highly demonized issues.

[@whitneyd6827]

Lost my mother to suicide induced by schizophrenia. I was 7 and she was 36. She set herself on fire which I witnessed. Absolutely tragic, for no fault of hers. EDIT: To people commenting that they are so appalled that I shared my story so publicly, that it's probably a lie or a joke, and that I just want attention, you are wrong. I am 32 now and I don't go around talking about this with everyone I know in real life. I only felt comfortable sharing this here because I get to maintain my anonymity, I see so many people sharing their experiences as well and I am also not ashamed of it. I am not very active on KZbin and I don't really have anything to gain by making up sad stories over random videos for attention.

My mom had paranoid schizophrenia, I had an interesting childhood to say the least... When I grew to adulthood I took legal guardianship of her and got her on antipsychotics (risperidone), it was amazing, like meeting her for the first time. I got a good decade of time with her in this better state of mind and it was great, I was so happy to see her live so well and so stable under my guardianship... She passed away due to complications with strokes a few years ago.

Conventional psychiatric drugs aren't designed to cure anyone, just sort-of suppress symptoms until the patient eventually dies. If you want to cure an illness you have to know what's causing it and correct that. Psychiatrists don't know because they were only taught to match up symptoms to patented, man-made chemicals. I used the orthomolecular approach to taper my loved one off of 3 daily antipsychotic drugs for his so-called "bipolar with psychosis." He's fine now, free of psychiatrists. I have 3 videos here on YT at "Linda Van Zandt's Mental Health Recovery Channel" about this approach. It isn't the only restorative approach but it's a good one.

The video says that schizophrenia is poorly understood, but really every other mental illness is equally misunderstood. 'Schizophrenia' is just a label, like any other label for mental and emotional difficulties. The root of *all* mental illness (suffering) is the binary activity of the mind (the ego), the separation between left brain and right brain. The 'hallucinations' associated with 'schizophrenia' are merely the expression of repressed thoughts and emotions. The way to truly heal schizophrenia is the same way every mental illness is healed: by bringing the two halves of the mind together by practicing at maintaining a 'meditative' state of mind, keeping your awareness anchored in the feeling of the body, and the sensory experience of the present in general. In that way, you break the subconscious mental habits that manifest as depression, anxiety, hallucination, etc. By the way, the only reason marijuana can be a 'trigger' for schizophrenia is that it calms the mind, causing repressed thoughts and emotions to come to the surface. The 'schizophrenia' happens when one resists (or attaches to) those thoughts and emotions, rather than merely feeling them and allowing them to pass. Ultimately, marijuana is a healer. Schizophrenia and other 'extreme' expressions of the ego are like the final and most painful stage before a butterfly breaks out of its cocoon. You want to break free? Read a book called The Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle.

it's a personality until the erson experiences traumatic stress, then it is a disease. those who hear voices and have not had traumatic experiences often hear friendly voices and are mostly more aware that they are aspects of their own consciousness. additional visual experiences are interpreted with less anxiety and often considered sources of inspiration. in many societies those with these traits are recognised from a young age and trained (cf. "therapy") too hone their special abilities in a way that they can manage and contribute with special talents to others. our society throws people away and drugs them into "normal" instead of changing to create barrier freedoms.

My symptoms became noticeable at the early to mid 2015, but peaked around the early months of 2016. Because of how vivid my hallucinations were, I ended up so paranoid I tried to end myself on two occasions. Subsequently, I started hearing voices from different people on campus in my head and it tormented me so much I heard a guys voice on campus and decided to act out on it, I just wanted to make it stop, and ended up being stupidly violent (and paying the consequences). These days I get annoyingly playful but I keep negative emotions far away, and I've turned to exercise and meditation because I didn't necessarily like the medications I was on.

Something about schizophrenia that I think a lot of people aren’t aware of is how susceptible people with the disorder are to abuse, especially intimate partner abuse.

[@LethalMila]

I’ve been dealing with the psychosis for a while now. Ever since I was a small child I’ve always seen things a little different in my life that didn’t seem normal to the people around me. I was always perceived as a very sweet kid but no one could ever read me or my expressions. For a while I didn’t know what was wrong and I thought I was a monster or something by the way people treated me because I didn’t wear my emotions on my sleeve. Through middle school and high school I started to experience really bad episodes of psychosis. At the time I didn’t know what it was and thought I was just going crazy or was haunted if you believe in that stuff. My environment wasn’t the best at the time and it played a factor. An episode for me would typically look like sitting in my room for hours in the dark practically immobilized by fear thinking demons are surrounding me and doing nothing but staring for hours and hours upon the end at me. Another example that involves the sensory part of the illness would be me sitting in my parked car at target because I wanted to buy some things for myself again immobilized by fear knowing Im alone because I drove there alone yet suddenly hearing all types of low whispers from all around me and suddenly appears four other people in my car sitting with me and I know it’s all in my head but it’s feels so real to me because I can hear them I can see them and I can feel them touching me but I know it’s not real.

[@Herr53Antichrist]

@braya starkey Lol, I also had depression since 12, which predated other stuff in similar way. Thought it was typical hormonal teenage stuff, which would go away with time (wasn't diagnosed until 16). Around 14-15 started to have psychotic issues, but before trying weed (and alcohol). Weed didn't affect me though (*Edited: I should probably mention that I took it less than 10 times) - I had 1 hashish psychosis with legit halucinations once, after which I stopped taking drugs and that's it. And alcohol made me depressed, impulsive and aggressive too much, so I stopped taking it as well. The only thing I learned is that nor alcohol, nor drugs would help to deal with this stuff and just potentially could worsen situation. Who would thought. Meh. :\

I had a very interesting psychotic episode for the 1st time this year in 2024. I was a victim of a drug assault (someone drugged me and r*ped me). However the psychosis lingered for more than a week w/ residual trauma so I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. I’m sure someone can relate but it basically made me believe that the SWAT, NSA and the CIA were involved in my life and that I was a victim of Domestic Terrorism. It became more complex than that, but I was aware enough to realize I was having hallucinations. Anyways, I realized my psychosis was a mixture of my own thoughts, experiences & knowledge. It was the only psychotic episode I’ve had so far, but it inspired me to pursue a career in National Defense and Anti-Terrorism. I enlisted into the Navy and they were open to understanding my ‘isolated’ event. I was cleared and am looking forward to a career pursing many pathways in SWAT, Intel, and Special Ops. I’m literally not joking. Exploring this has defiantly helped me understand the collective misconceptions around these Defense Agencies. And in turn has helped me find purpose in life. Moral of the story: don’t allow your experiences to hold you back. Rather see them as a source of inspiration for something greater. God bless!

An old friend told me that she was scared of my mom and that “your mom is crazy” She thought she “knew more about my mom’s sickness than me” because her mom “worked with people like her” I’m not so sure about that, I don’t think child support has been called on her mom because she seemed to be on drugs. I don’t think she was ever afraid to hangout with friends at her house because they’d judge her mom. So please, please be careful of what jokes or things you say.

My aunt was diagnosed with brain tumor 20 years ago. She developed schizophrenia after the operation that took place back then. Her condition has been deteriorating ever since. She is so violent at almost all the time and has caused a lot of physical and mental harm to her family members which includes me, my mother and my grandmother. We live in a 3rd World country and seems like the doctors can't really do anything about it except prescribing more and more meds and shots. Sometimes her violence is so unbearable we have to send her away to mental hospital for months and it sure is expensive. She basically has no life at this point and it breaks my heart to say it out loud, but everyone in the family is waiting for her to die. It's true. As heartbreaking as it sounds, her family members very often wish she were dead so she wouldn’t have to suffer this much and make the whole family suffer along with her. My mom said she was a lovely person when she was healthy. I just feel so sad for her and it also makes me wonder if living and dealing directly with a schizophrenic person all of my life, I might go crazy one day too. Not to mention, other members of my family have hardly ever been happy in their own lives too. I'm sorry, there's no happy ending in this comment. Love and hugs to y'all.

[@mepmaniac9000]

I’m here because I’m scared I might have it. My doctors and even some spirit guides I went to all told me the same thing, that I needed to learn to calm my anxiety because I’m high risk for it. And it’s been over a year since they started telling me that, and nothing has changed. I at times hear my name being called in the middle of a crowd with a voice of a friend or just a random voice and no ones there. I’ve even been hearing stuff alone in the house, I always think I hear footsteps or the door open every time I go shower or something. I honestly think it started in 6th grade, I remember my sister just yelling horrible things at me and say I was at fault for a traumatic incident. I asked her why she did that like 4 years later and she said she had never said that, and I heard the same words from my mom as well. I’ll also think I see something move in the corner of my eye constantly and I don’t know… I avoid mirrors like the plague, and when I do look I avoid my face, I have a specific outfit I have to wear to feel as calm as possible, I talk like a child barely learning to speak. When I try to say “is the back clean,?” I say “ is clean back?” Or “the chickens in the refrigerator” i would say like “freezers in the chicken” I also suffer from bad memory loss, I can’t even remember basic words like fridge or lamp. I don’t know I’m just venting, but I hope people who suffer from this get the treatments they need and live happy lives

For my mother, it started with hearing people that she has met before telling her horrible things like someone was after her and she really believed it. I still remember the first time, when I came back from school she ran to the door shaking and pulled me in telling me she was terrified about something, that she kept hearing people and was afraid that they would hurt me. At night she didnt want to turn off the lights and couldnt sleep because the voices never stopped. There's a lot more but I want to talk about what I believe caused her symptoms. My mother has gone through a harsh divorce leaving her with me and my brother. When she talks to other ppl, thats all she can ever talk about: the divorce and other bad things in her life. Because of this, ppl didnt really like her since she brought her problems with her which others assumed was because she wanted pity. She moved to the US with my father and her english is pretty decent but because of this, we didnt have much family around either. She was alone and when my brother went to college, I isolated myself in my room because I liked being alone and could only concentrate on work this way. I also pushed myself away from my mother which I truly regret and this isolated her even more. Yes, we still talked but for the majority of the day, she would be alone. She worked in a casino which I believe made her mental health worse because of the type of ppl she had to serve. She would tell me ppl were always playing mind games with her and it was a toxic environment. I didn't know what to make of it because she said some strange things as well which make me question when her delusions really started. There's a lot more but in essence, her isolation, depression, potential harassment in the workplace, previous bad experiences, and her negative mindset were some of the main precursors to getting schizophrenia.

..... *Listen* ...... _Modern medicine has no treatment for many disorders._ .........What's worse, all drugs like heart disease drugs cause bipolar disorder and depression......... If anyone, or their family, have any disease and have tried medication and still not cured completely, _Feel free to contact me._ ........ You would be treated with nutrition and minor changes in life style......... Also you would be *completely free of the disease* in some time, ending all medication. ..... I have cured many like it.....

The animation is scarier than many horror movies I can only begin to imagine what it would be like to suffer through these mental illnesses Hope everything turns out good for everyone

We need more caring words as you have expressed, Zedan.

May Allah give strength to all who is facing illness and mental health may Allah bless all of us

Fun fact for people interested in this topic, auditory hallucinations can differ based on your culture. Example: Western cultures more often hear fearful, angry, or pushy "voices". Eastern cultures (especially those with strong familial ties) more often hear kind and helpful voices, sometimes seen as ancestors just hanging out with you

Fascinating. I’d love to see the study or source on the subject.

My brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia around 2017. This video helped me understand him more than ever before. Thank you so much.

I'm a 39 year old dude, laid back and live a stress free life but had a manic bipolar psychotic schizophrenic episode last year. I feel like I have a justifiable number of reasons that led me to this happening. Mainly, seeing through all the lies in the media and governments around the world. Anyway, I was hospitalized for 10 days and refused medication except for a few days when it was mandatory. I was let out and it honestly took me the better part of a year to get back to feeling like my normal self. I still have wild thoughts when I think deeply but I know how to differentiate between the rational and irrational ones. Its like my mind has been opened to another dimension of reality that nobody else notices whatsoever and its tough to think ill be alone in my thoughts for the rest of my life.
