As I previously said, I got this diagnoses 3 times before from 3 different psychiatrists and the current person is who says I don't have nor psychosis. Somehow, here's my own reflection with this.
1. Hallucinations: - I think I haven't seen many clear hallucinations but somehow there're 2 instances which were actually considerable including seeing a persistent black tilted rectangular shaped object appeared till the moment I said in my mind What, after that I saw a gore nightmare where I was exposed to gore by then which was indeed terrifying combined with other features of being criticized, neglected and isolated. There're very clear people but in my head who were tormenting me and this was often related to religion back then, still there're occasions that I use telepathy but. (I don't wanna lose everything) somehow, they're not the sort of external voices as mentioned in this video.
2. Delusions: - Accordingly, I do have many and they're mainly persecutory as it seems but I find it really hard to be debunked (But counter acting those will assure me that the reader made it happen that way. Somehow, I'm often labeled as overly suspicious and I remember the gaze of the doctor when I commented on how I think about mental health professionals in our country. In other hand, yeah, I'm kinda like Frank from the movie The Maniac(2012) but somehow with the absence of the violence and type of the delusion he bears and I rather request them so hard than doing anything by force. I have been grandiose when I was small and sometimes I exhibit that but not in a way that makes the others feel less or something but somehow, I was bullied so severely. There're certain other delusions according to the current counsellors I met, (they're no longer responding to my messages and she once said it's hard to treat me this way) I do have other delusions which I can't label as delusions due to various reasons but if they're actually delusions, I don't know which category they belong to.
3. Disordered thinking: - Yeah of course. This includes my really weird and uncomfortable nightmares.
4. Actions: - Can't say. Outsider don't comment on me but somehow they're being sarcastic and show clear traits of disinterest, social bullying and disgust. Somehow, my father says that there're certain abnormalities in the way I behave.
5. Lack of interest: - Can't actually comment on this but being depressed is a key feature many days which isn't equivalent to this anyway.
6. Anhedonia - Kind makes sense
7. Catatonia - No.
8. Stigmatized and other are advised to be isolated - Yes, yes and yes.
Any way. I never knew about certain things like Anhedonia, Thank you for making this video, I really appreciate it.

My mother has paranoid schizophrenia, but I am a spiritual person. While I understand and believe that she suffers from this illness, I also believe her when she says she can see spirits. especially passed loved ones. I also have been told of a story by a close family friend where my mum saved her friends life by telling her what she had seen (during a hallucination) - she was babysitting for her and told her before she left for the day - what she saw during this hallucination was quite harrowing to be honest, and the friend originally brushed it off and put it down to her schizophrenia because she knew sometimes she could come out with these things, but later that night the incident happened - and there were so many aspects of this incident that panned out exactly how my mum said they would as she saw in her hallucinations and had my mum not told her friend what she saw earlier on; the ending to that night could have been very different! And so I always listen to my mum very closely now. Sure sometimes it’s the illness and a lot of what she says and does can be put down to that but there are a lot of things she tells me that I fully believe, especially now. I think schizophrenia is so misunderstood and there’s still so much we don’t know about it. I believe that people who suffer from this illness are a lot more spiritually enlightened and can see things that most cannot. Of course they still need help managing it - but I’m just saying I think when dealing with most people who suffer with schizophrenia it’s important to remain open minded.

Dang, I had no idea so many other people also have schizoaffective disorder. I felt so isolated before considering it’s relatively rare for a diagnosis (0. 3%) but everyone’s comments sums up my experience in some form or another, if not the entire experience. Mine has gotten worse this past year due to poor health and poor doctoring due to insurance, he took me off near all my meds and am dealing heavily with the fall out. I want back on my meds but he wants me in outpatient and I can’t do that taking care of two Elderly parents who can’t walk (broken hip and leg and one with recent ligament surgery)
I’m so exhausted from my hallucinations, they’ve become far more frequent and my visual hallucinations are working over time like never before and it terrifies me. I don’t enjoy things anymore and I hadn’t cried for a year until literally a week ago when I had a mental breakdown and wound up in the hospital physically sick (viral infection and extremely low potassium inflamed liver, just got home today from 3 days of stay as I type this actually)
I still can’t sleep but these comments make me feel so much less alone, you have no idea how much I needed to read these comments. Some days I feel like I don’t have my disorder but then I’m reminded shortly that I’m not faking anything. I can’t shake my delusions and I know I need help but I fear being locked away, as my doc threatened this twice and I still refused his outpatient referral so I’m probably headed there next time he sees me anyway.

My mother in law has schizophrenia. My wife's two brothers either have schizophrenia or schizo affective. They literally are so scared to be in the same room as me. One brother whispers to himself as if he is talking to someone. The other brother acts gradiose and really a fake. I never had an agrument with either one of them. They got worse when their parents died 10 yrs ago from natural causes. One tried to say to police that I was present when his mom passed. I was living in another city. I was told to go over to. see what was going on at the house. When i talked to police, i told them i didnt live at the house. I had to prove it. I was asked by police if i got along with my brother in law. An odd question to ask me. I had to inform the police that my brother in law may be hallucinating due to schizophrenia or schizo affective. He was hallucinating that i harmed my mother in law. I was offended because I got a long with my mother in law very well. My brother in law was sleeping with his mother when she died too. He admitted that to police. But didnt say about her medical issues that could have contributed to her death.

I have Paranoid Schizophrenia i did not have it a few years ago. It started out with paranoia. Then as the years went by i did not seek help with the paranoia i developed Schizophrenic symptoms without even knowing it. I started having thoughts that made sense to me but in reality it was just some fantasy that was taking hold of me. Then these symptoms got worse with time and i was thinking too much and i had a lot of stress from work.
I kinda broke and was hospitalized i was put in the psych clinic, got diagnosed and the worst part was not over there. It took me months to stabilize what followed was anxiety, panic attacks, disassociation from yourself and delusions (like someone was touching your shoulder or fingers in response to what you were thinking. After proper medication and the mind and body were healing i could disassociate myself from these beliefs i had as a pure fantasy (or as a doctor would say psychosis -. -') i started to become myself again.
P. s I do not wish this upon anyone. Worst experience in my life.

Love this and wanted to add my story. Yes, it usually occurs in a person's twenties but I was an anomaly experiencing hearing voices since I can remember. even as a kid you can have hallucinations that children don't even understand or experience in the real world. And probably the most difficult part is that even though I'm quite lucky in that taking my meds silences them nearly immediately, the voices try to convince me not to take medicine or they'll hurt my loved ones. Experiencing delusions and hallucinations can be a pain but as a writer, some of my best ideas come from the most terrifying delusions and hallucinations that I have. In my book it mentions swarms of bugs in a ring on fire as a portal for example. That came from a hallucination. Also, what made it so hard to come to terms that I had schizophrenia was because I didn't realize that the internal hallucinations were hallucinations. But just because a hallucination is internal and you can tell it from reality, doesn't mean it can be any less distressing.

I have a friend who's schizoaffective that I used to write letters to all the time during the pandemic and even now still write to from time to time, even sharing my one-page short stories with her (complete with illustrations on the bottom of the page. She's revealed to me multiple times how suicidal she is because of her disorder and how she was kicked out of a mental health group for being too negative. I once responded with a letter saying that my love for her was akin to an erupting volcano and that if she killed herself, I would meet her again after she was resurrected and literally pound into her thick skull how much I love her until she finally understood it. She now jokes that my letter won't allow her to go back to idealizing suicide. I would gladly write those powerful statements to her again (unless I somehow manage to find even more powerful statements.

Update Over my mentality:
I have renounced crushes. OR DID I I have a best friend who I follow everywhere comfortably. I also especially follow him when he is with his girl best friend cause he always talks about such things with her that I am mostly not allowed to listen. But if he doesn't tell me to go away for a moment, Then it means that it was not a secret. For example, I once overheard him saying something like. first sight so I feel like he wanted her as his girlfriend or something(both of us are 12 but she is 11. About my dreams, they are all pitch black. This shows my emptiness in life because of love. This video helped me understand more of this disorder. I found out that I have Catatonia. Hence, it helped me.
Thanks Psych

I have schizoaffective bipolar type and it’s so difficult to coming to terms with it all. Part of me hates it because of the stigma, so much so I don’t want to even disclose it with the people I get close to in fear of how they will see me. I get confused a lot also with the diagnosis saying to myself i don’t have it and that the things I experience are true it displaces me so much that I can’t tell reality from the delusions. The saddest thing of it all is I can’t talk about it without me looking like I’m insane so I try to manage it by myself which is just faulty because in the end you can’t really trust yourself. I know I need people I just don’t want to look foolish and be a burden. It can be a real struggle

Uhm, this is probably much better addressed with someone in person, although the difficulty I'm facing is how to do just that. I can't place the money on it being schizophrenia or schizo affective disorder specifically before consulting a professional and getting the diagnosis. The fear I'm trying to address is trusting that they'd not shoot me down for opening up about symptoms and using this video as a means to express my symptoms to them since I can't always logically express them myself and there are key points in this video that I feel can address the perceived feelings Or rather delusions And allow me space to continue the thought from there to have myself coherently express what I'm going through.

There are many cases of doctors gaslighting people who actually have a problem. It can take years for women especially to get diagnosed with problems because of how the medical system doesn’t listen.
Also, if your entire family system has different beliefs than you and they gaslight you about you about your beliefs, it doesn’t mean your schizophrenic.
And finally, there is a difference between spiritual emergencies and experiences and schizophrenia. The western perspective on spiritual experiences is limited and based in colonialism. It is not the end all be all. Science works and psychology is just starting to recognize the spiritual experiences are legit.

I’ve had two psychotic episodes in my 40s. After the first one, they diagnosed me as having this breakdown because of stress and depression, so they prescribed me antidepressants and an anti psychotic. It was after my second psychotic episode where I started to do my own research. Anxiety which brings on paranoia and eventually could bring on a psychotic episode is because of low self worth. It wasn’t until I stated to educate myself on childhood trauma did I start to feel a true healing journey begin. I suggest to everyone to look at how childhood trauma affected you, because whether you believe it or not, you experienced some sort of trauma and need to deal with it.

my father has been diagnosed with this mental disorder and he also has violent tendencies which stem from his paranoia, he also gets caught up in narcotics which probably does not help at all. I understand that the violent tendencies are not from schizophrenia, but perhaps other mental illnesses he has struggled with this for most of his life and at times has caused his a great deal of hardship. my father has metioned before how angels that have followed him since a young age communicate with him. and it is truly a terrifying thing watching the mental disorder take apart your life and draw your loved ones away.

My mother has schizophrenia and the symptoms in this video are accurate, sadly my mother was very abusive when I lived with her as a child, and despite it being proven in court, the government refuses to hospitalize her to help her condition. Canada says they care for the mentally ill but refuse to save my mother from herself, she literally doesn't know she has the condition and refuses to knowledge it. My hatred for my own country has gotten so bad I refuse to sit still for our national anthem in school, if abuse isn't good enough a reason to help her, then what will be in their eyes

. yeah, I already figured I'm not schitzophrenic. This basically confirmed it. I have alters and choose to hear them, which is WAY different. I did have some weird hallucinations as a kid, but I didn't go chasing them, and I just accepted them as weird moments that probably weren't actually happening. Plus, my alters keep popping up when I'm traumatized or go through a major episode about something. Not all the time, but that's typically when they pop up. I'm a little tired of people lumping that in with schizophrenia.

As far as I'm aware, I was born with schizophrenia because my parents have told me that I've had hallucinations and imaginary friends my whole life. I've never once been medicated for it unfortunately, but I have learned how to handle it myself and generally keep myself feeling sane, although there's only so much I can do with a disorder like this. Thinking back on stuff, I can acknowledge what sounds realistic and what's fake, but beyond that, there's still stuff in my head that I've probably had misconstrued for years

I have schizoaffective disorder, dpressive type. I mostly have auditory hallucinations, and usually when im stressed. I do have anhedonia and the blank expression, i do isolate, which is mot new since im an introvert, but more so, i guess.
Then, if you have insomnia, it makes everything worse.
I have no family and only a few friends, and even though i have these friends, they dont know just how deep this illness can be.

I have schizoaffective disorder, dpressive type. I mostly have auditory hallucinations, and usually when im stressed. I do have anhedonia and the blank expression, i do isolate, which is mot new since im an introvert, but more so, i guess.
Then, if you have insomnia, it makes everything worse.
I have no family and only a few friends, and even though i have these friends, they dont know just how deep this illness can be.

I wish my family and irl friends could actually like me even if I'm schizoaffective dyslexic, everyday is so hard, everyday is just terrible, everyday my life is ruin and I only think about the inevitable thing, but so far I'm 17 and even after getting abused ly everyway possible for 10 years, I only live for my online friends nothing else, I cursed my existence so bad, but I keep living only for people I care about
very good video, keep going!
