both me and my cousin have it alongside with psychoses, it fully developed when I was 18, I'm 24 now and the past 6 years have been hell. it's like I haven't rested since. I get both visual and auditory hallucinations, it's like I have 4 eyes and 4 ears, two in the real world and two in the other world. I'm the lucky one of the two of us, I've managed to keep some semblance on what's real and what's not, my psychiatrist says I'm unusually strong willed considering how advanced my case is. my cousin on the other hand faired significantly worse, he's lost most if not all of his ability to determine what's real and what's not. about a month back the police found him wandering around the woods, with no shirt on badly sunburnt, they found his car 15 miles away, they asked him what he was doing out there, he said that he was looking for an antenna that was controlling his brain so he could destroy it. they took him to the police station cause he refused to go to the hospital unless my aunt was there, the police agreed to get his cooperation, when she showed up he didn't want the police to take him so they reluctantly put him in my aunts care so she could take him, my cousin asked if he could go home to change his clothes before they go, and she agreed, when they got home he want inside and she waited in the car, after a few minutes passed she went inside to check on him, he wasn't in the house and the backdoor was open. and he's been missing ever since. the difference between me and him is when I was on the brink of complete insanity, and god damn I was close. my mom decided to take me to a mental institution for treatment and a tiny part of me was sane enough that I agreed to go very reluctantly. and I got diagnosed officially, and was prescribed medications. I also developed a faith in God which helped a lot as well, and over the course of the year I slowly began to become a somewhat functional person again with a grasp on reality mostly. I still suffer significantly but I still manage to endure. if anyone is interested in my experience in a state of insanity feel free to ask and I will tell you.

I have a 67 years old schizophrenic father.
His father was also schizophrenic and 4 of his uncles.
It's just painful and difficult, specially because he deny that!
He always says that my mother has affairs with men, his hallucinations always about this disgusting things!
He also says to me the same things.
He deny that he is sick!
His uncle forced him to go to psychologist, he is diagnosed with severe psychosis!
I am just terrified by the fact that I may get this disease!
It's not about me, i am afraid that i will torture my mom the same way my dad does!
I am just amazed by the patience that my mother have, btw she is only 52 y o
So she's 14 years younger than him!
My little sister who is 17 y o extremely affected by that, she became violent and i just can't help!
We are all victims of this disease!
When i think about it I can't breathe!
Thanks to my family for passing this amazing genes!

So I guess this is unclear at first one doctor said I have it because I have been treating with a mental illness problem for like 4 years but then another doctor didn't also a mental health doctor didn't remember the name for that type of doctors so I guess I was close and I'm still being observed for the symptons but then how I got it? I guess bad desicions and so many things that I remember not that old also I kind of lost sense of time of a frame of my life due to some mental ilness problems so I were trying to talk abouy allucinations or like for me it weren't it had sense tought but how to explain? Also some didn't but you only realize later when you can't say what it was or you realize that what you tought doesn't make any sense from that usually talk, paint helps thought because you are putting it out so you can deal with it at first is hard but you get the idea Any questions?

I think PTSD can lead to schizophrenia. If a person keeps reliving a frightening experience with no relief from the constant flow of adrenaline and adrenochrome and without a chance for a third chemical to shut down the fight or flight mechanism of the brain, I believe many succumb to the chemicals and schizophrenia is able to rise up. This is what happened with a distant cousin of mine. She got surrounded by a pack of boys one day after school and it scared her so much that she was still running and hiding from us when my brothers came into her mothers house 30 years later. Schizophrenia took hold soon after. But apparently bad mental health ran in her fathers family, so that might be a positive for her inheriting schizophrenia, but her father didnt have any problems that I ever knew of.

My boyfriend has acute schizophrenia. It occurs when he is stressed, apparently. I love him dearly and he is such a good hearted, silly and loving person. It took me aback when he told me at first but I accept him and support him always. The stigma shouldnt exist, I wouldve never known if he hadnt told me. He is successful at his job and stable; hes been working at the same place since he was 19 and bought his own 3 bedroom, brand new construction house at the age of 21. he is quite successful. He initially sought help to receive his diagnosis and medication but is now off of it and largely symptom free. Always think twice about others and their struggles. You never know.

I feel like I did something wrong and I feel like I'm being watched through my window to the point where I put a blanket but still feel like I'm being watched I feel like I harmed some one and that I will be judged for it I feel like people are trying to harm me
My mind tells me to do this and think negative things I can't trust anyone I feel like I'm being recorded or someone is listening to me or I will see something that's not there in real life like I will see a white figure and then when I look back there will be nothing there

This video is not as authentic as the other videos. Its a completely different voice without the empathy and kindness as the typical voice you do your videos with. And you dont call people with schizophrenia people but patients. It tries but it doesnt reach the same level as other videos. Its sad. It would reinforce the stigma that people with schizophrenia feel. And it talks about people instead of too them like with other videos, which speaks TO people experiencing the issue talked about in the video.

Compared to other psych2go video's, the ones on schizophrenia look scary which is not to my liking as a patient. I prefer things nice and sweet and your video's on depression and self-love are so much better in their general look and feeling. I'm sorry to say but I would love a cozy looking video on schizophrenia. It might seem more scary than it is like this. It is scary but I'm not much off a scary person. Neither are most off my fellow patients.

Fun fact one of Albert Einsteins sons was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Eduard (Tete) Einstein was diagnosed in the early twenties of his life and quickly checked into a mental institution. He protested he wants insane, which he was, but he knew how to handle it, which was true. No one believed him. So eventually he really did become insane. Many photos taken of him show him absent-minded and sad. Institutions were not the place he needed to be.

Is there such a thing as free or cheap yet reliable services for people who think they may have schizophrenia?
Free medications, or at least, extremely low cost medications?
A free evaluation for the uninsured?
Some people who'd try and self diagnose do so because they can not afford mental health services, and/or are afraid of what their family would think if they came forward and asked for help seeking out a professional.

Connecting with the joy of looking at absurd things. This will make you fall in love with life. The beauty of when I walk out of my house, I look at trees, cars, the sun, the clouds, the desert, where I live. Even my own body. When I look at my own body I just get joy out of looking at the absurdity of my own body. My body is a work of art. I can connect with that um. Just that alone is enough to create an amazingly fulfilling life.

I was diagnosed with DID and Schizophrenia along with many other things. I hear voices, see things and even feel things. It has left me paranoid and freaked out multiple times. I've had times where I would sleep in my mom's room because I was scared over things I was seeing. I didn't want to be alone. I've adjusted to it all and learned to handle it on my own. I even have a cat that helps comfort me.

I suffer from schizophrenia for three years. Delusions and hallucinations are hell but I would say the worst thing about it are the negative symptoms - depression, demotivation and anhedonia. And the treatment in psych wards is mostly really bad and traumatic, in most countries the mental health care system needs radical reform so these institutions change from prisons to therapeutic centres

A lot of my family have schizophrenia and mental disorders run in my family. As a young child my parents would make me terrified. My mother sat me down and screamed at me to tell me my monsters or she would hurt me. She soon dunked my head into water. I still remember it clearly I am still traumatized.

My mum had a friend wich had a halfbrother who had schizophrenia. He always talked about the parasites eating him from within and didn't recieve treatment until it was to late. He killed himself later and left behind a diary full of horrifying entries.
My mum told me and it sounded so terrible.

My dad has schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. I'm never allowed to see him. I can't even begin to imagine what this disorder might be like to have. My heart goes out to anyone who suffers from this disorder, or who knows someone with it. I know it's not easy, but I hope one day it will get better.

We had a family member that suffered terribly from this disorder. She claimed that she had been in the military as a doctor sadly she was just a normal housewife and mother. We are concerned if this disorder is hereditary.
