I am super pleased about your progress and your journey with all of this. What you’re experiencing with the ketogenic diet amplifies a need for more research into how B12 and folate help our neurological processes so fundamentally that they can mitigate schizophrenia and epilepsy (which is what the ketogenic diet was developed for in the first place). I’m so excited for you! I know you’re taking magnesium, which is fantastic. I think further supporting this journey with the adenosylcobalamin form of B12 and Folinic acid or L-methyl folate would create an even stronger foundation for you to help guard against any regression of psychotic symptoms during medication decreases and ever after as continued support. Regardless, I hope things continue to improve! I’m super excited for you and so grateful that you have been willing to share your journey with all of us.

damn and here I was thinking those sound like the symptoms of “puberty”? seen a lot of schizophrenic teens then? who knew.

This relationship/marriage is toxic. Seems like the woman wants family life & total break from everyone and everything at times. Sucks she has to go to this extent for thrills, attention, space alone. Reminds me of drug addict. Same level of unintentional hurt to friends& family to close proximity😢

I have suffered from this on and off for 4 years now since i was diagnosed with skizofrenia and put on antipsychotics. Apathy towards life. Dont have energy for much. I feel like im wasting my life and I dont care, but i do care. Its painful.

My anhedonia was induced by anti-psychotic medication. Bipolar person here (not schizophrenic) who used to FEEL things good or bad very intensely. Psychiatrists erroneously prescribed me Quetiapine/Seroquel and Olanzapine "for sleep" fearing I would turn manic from sleeping very little a couple of days in a row last december (six months ago). The two medications were taken in the lowest available doses (Quetiapine 25 mg, olanzapine 2.5 mg) for a couple of nights... Now it's been half a year since then and them putting me on 300 mg of Quetiapine/Seroquel for its anti-depressant effects to try and treat the new anhedonia... I can feel emotions something like 70% but only in my body NOT in my head/brain. I can also feel some frisson to music I like, at times, but only in my chest and arms not in my head... I also have trouble maintaining erections and my orgasms are very "dampened" ocmpared to before (they too are not felt inside the head any longer). I react to to things around me or social situation out of "habit" rather than spontaneously feeling-and-emoting something instantly? Also haven't had a true laugh (belly laugh/deeply felt) in these months either. Neuroleptics are dangerous medications and they should only have given me those if I had actually been in an ongoing manic episode :(. This life right now of feeling no highs (joy) or lows (No bodily anxiety, adrenaline, depression feelings anymore) being totally neutral and "mid" all the time is a nightmare.

Thank you so much for your brace and honest sharing. I am a teacher of student nurses and have the opportunity to facilitate or mentor them in their Mental Health placements. I will be sharing this vulnerable and valuable knowledge with them. Thank you so much. I applaud you for doing this for all sorts of people to learn from including psychiatrists! Sending love and hope. You got this x

Lol Job rolling in his grave at this video

Dear Lauren I enjoy listening to you for both the form and content and your voice is delicious, it flows like the bandusian spring. Have you considered poetry study or creative writing, it is a great antidote to the imposed structures which dominate. And it may well introduce you to more facets of your unique nature.

wake up.

psychiatry is of the devil. why?/ cuz they would take all the prophets and apostles and even Jesus Christ himself and put them all in a mental hospital.

did u know they called slaves who ran away for freedom has having a mental “illness” , and that’s why they really ran away? it wasn’t the fact they wanted to be free. and women who had a wondering womb were diagnosed with “hysteria “ and the list goes on. it’s all trash.

the psychiatric commission of america literally votes “disorders” into existence. they list 20-40 “symptoms “ on a black board and the group of people votes for the next “illness” they call up big pharma and bam u r making money

behaviour has NOTHING to do with real illnesses

doesn’t exist. psychiatry is one of the biggest open lies ever.

38:00-39:35 Very uplifting message... 🙏 I hope things go acc to plan in the next 5 years.

28:20 You're making a huge difference, Lauren & Rob!!

I luv u

21:16 _"And I wish that I'd been told about this [diet] when I was 15, you know - it can completely change the trajectory of your life. _*_And people with Epilepsy know this, because if you put a young person on the Ketogenic Diet for 2 years very strictly, a significant proportion - maybe over 50% - will have no seizures for the rest of their life."_* Wow, what?! That is *insane.* Ppl in mainstream society know so little about this diet - I only heard about it in the context of the new 'health freak' or 'fitness freak' fads & nothing else. I had no idea it can be that effective medically...

15:17 Oooh, he's one of the researchers in the clinical trial Stanford did & published a paper on this April!

What sort of smells?

Dont be hard on yourself. Church helps me. Invite the holey spirit into your life. You are so strong. Thankyou for your story. ❤

How can she keep her phone. I was stripped of my belongings and shared a room like jail. If I had my phone and the staff wasn’t coming in my room every 15 minutes I would of been ok.

I already tried going off my medicine a couple of times, but it didn't work. I think you should get the opinion of another psychiatrist before you are 100% sure you can get off medication, because of the Ketogenic diet. You should avoid trusting the jugement of a person who might have been just having a bad day or who does not actually have your disease. An old doctor once told me I wouldn't need medicine, he was just trying to say that you can be flexible on the time you take your medicine because nobody wants to think you will be on meds your entière life. Also you shouldn't be afraid to bend the rules, I didn't say break them.

You are doing a very good job thank you

It would be absolutely horrible to experience being forcibly stripped of your clothing and then medicated against your will by a group of tough guys. It sounds like a scene straight out of a prison. Common sense would tell you that using empathy and getting the patient to voluntarily agree to treatment would be the place to start. There are always people in the comments who say something like, "I'm a new psychiatric nurse, thank you for showing me how a patient feels" and it makes you want to shout, "Use some common sense! You needed someone to tell you this?!" Let's not even get started on shock treatment, that's just wrong.

He worked with the government on top secret files. It’s possible he knew about crimes committed by the people he was doing work for and I think it is entirely possible that these people could actually drive someone crazy and convince them and the people whonlove them that they are

Keto causing medical issues and psych clinics in the Portland area dropping all or part

Way too vague. Self-diagnosis clickbait

I am also sick , in libya where i live they don't care of patients

I am really glad to hear that you don't have an all or nothing view towards medications! Congratulations on your med reduction!

Every single time I have opened up about my struggles, people will use that info as a weapon against me. I've learned to keep my mouth shut.

I think you need a name update... Living Well WITHOUT schizophrenia

We need to get educated. Go in keto or carnivore can absolutely he’ll any mental illness… don’t forget doctors in big Pharma benefit from you being sick..

I’m so sorry. I wonder if people are aware that ALL psych drugs, especially antipsychotics, can cause psychosis… even when taking as prescribed. It’s called a paradoxical reaction. I wonder how many people go thought this and believe it’s then.. certainly happened to me and was all due to the “meds”.

I went 7 years without meds and can control my mania

Excersice, routine, eating every day and sleeping are a MUST If I don’t follow those religiously I will get another mental crisis

This is brilliant. It's so refreshing seeing honest information to help people rather than fear mongering for views

The recurring theme of eyes is fascinating

I first started experiencing symptoms of schizophrenia around 19-20 years old.. I’m now 26 and it’s been a very isolating feeling and disappointing experience. I’m so sad 😢 I grieve the old me regularly.. really hope it gets better someday.. stay strong my friends

i have this all day

Truth be told, I was a little jealous about your recent remission. But, am a grown woman and I am so proud of you. My adult daughter was diagnosed with schizophrenia and has been in and out of hospitals for almost 5 years. Clozapine and injectable have failed.. She is not aware she has schizophrenia and not able to adhere to medical keto. I have not given up hope.

Sounds like my father

I came off anti psychotics for 6 months. Then I became ill again.

basically an acid trip

Oh my God, I thought she was imprisoned. Why is she kept alone? This is not helpful. I was depressed from the age of 10, I have been hospitalized due to a suicide attempt. All along I thought I was broken. One day I came across Michael Beckwith who's teachings saved my life. I did the work, it took almost 2 years. I worked on my mind and control of my thoughts. Depression, and mental health issues are more of an alarm telling you that you are not aligned with Life, it's far from being a medical thing.

watching this to see if i have schizophrenia

hello my name is Nathan feissel and I live on BC Canada heading to Saskatchewan soon and im reaching out hoping you can help I been struggling my intire life and hoping someone can help me with the resources I need and someone to talk to

I am not struggling with any mental disorders, but I feel like I would if I'd be locked up in such a place...

The problem from the beginning is that he let the tap water open while brushing

It’s been hard for me to accept my mental illness I was in denial for years. I don’t like to talk about it because people think I’m crazy when I think that just because I struggle with mental health doesn’t mean I’m crazy I just struggle
