Oddly, this is one of the only media representations of schizophrenia I've seen that actually gets the symptoms right.
You can tell the edgy comments that are like "santa claus lives in my teeth!" are the ones that never experienced psychosis in their lives

As a schizophrenic myself I‘m happy to say that they have since implemented all of these help measures. God bless them.

You somehow have all forms?
They are also putting microphones in your microwave. Thats why they call them Microwaves
Then you have a very pacific case of paranoid schizophrenia, should also go back on you’re medication. Lol I’m actually schizoeffective, be a little more creative man. I’m doing some usual thread reading. I’m well aware it’s not real, schizophrenia means split mind, like living in 2 worlds at once bassicly.

@@katalystkatapatheticalyssa5987 Lmfao in a way?
It is so depressing to see how little the government does to help schizophrenics nowadays compared to just 15 years ago.
Ive heard that ever since the aliens left New Mexico they have now since found a new home in Wuhan, China in which these kind aliens helped develop groundbreaking technologies in our masks and vaccines so that we can control everybody around these schizophrenics in order to help them more effeciently without the use of outdated technologies like phone booths and radio waves.
They just want to do so less invasive, and so aren't public about it and all. They do this still, and much, much, MUCH more. They're always watching our schizophrenic populations, very closely, and often overtly 😇
@@Reblwitoutacause Nah, they're so busy helping other countries' schizophrenics that they neglect the local population.
It's a good thing the internet private sector has picked up some of the slack. It's just not the same. Nowadays, you have to go online and on social medias to be properly watched and monitored.
OK buzzkill, dry ass comment no one cares
Sad pattern ive noticed: schizophrenia is a common disease found in people doing horrible things with news coverage.
There is evidence of things like subliminal messages and other forms of subtle brain washing.
Schizophrenics are easily to manipulate as they would likely mistake attempts as hallucinations or delusions.
I believe they are being manipulated now as an easy source for black flag ops victims

@Steve the Pirate Careful, them conspiracy nuts will start coming out lol
Oh man it's so perfect
crysknife007 overly
@Srithor You are doing a piss poor job of explaining any of these points. You want to be understood then its up to you to make yourself understood instead of insulting people because of your own incapabilities. The video DOES mention paranoid schizophrenia "Improving care for america's paranoid schizophrenics". Its a joke video clearly not meant to take seriously...
@Srithor sorry to burst your ego bubble but literally the whole video it displays a box saying 'America's Paranoid Schizophrenics'. The main part is them being paranoid, but it's upgraded by adding schizophrenia
Srithor if I may ask, you claim to be a professional no? If that’s the case may I ask why you said they confused a neurological disorder with a plausible symptom of said disorder? I’m kind of confused why you felt the need to state that if the point of the joke is that they would be exasperating the joke. I’m currently studding neuroscience and would just like a clarification on that point since that seems like and important thing to note. Since you seem to be knowledgeable in the field I would love it if you could explain this. I could see it as a confusion between just general paranoia versus paranoid schizophrenia as what you were stating to be the confusion. But that wouldn’t make sense considering they were hinting at symptoms that would not be apart of some sort of general paranoia disorder and would be more inline with schizophrenia. Thanks in advance and I hope to hear back from you soon! :)
Srithor can I ask why symptom is in air quotes? It seems like you are not disputing the fact that it’s a symptom which is what it sounded like from some of your arguments. Also this video doesn’t seem to be attempting to inform the public on the nature of schizophrenia, just kind of act as a nod to those who know about the discorder at least vaguely? Not only that any of the things taken at face value from this video would exasperate the paranoia symptoms that such people would have if actually implemented no? It would seem kind of weird to take this all at face value wouldn’t it? Or am I crazy to think that? If I ever do work in this kind of stuff I would like to know what would be an appropriate way to show case this disorder. If this is truly inappropriate I would appreciate it if you could let me know in fair detail on how to present this. It is a fascinating disorder and I would love to be able to do the topic justice if I ever have the need to. Once again thank you in advance!
I’m friends with a few schizophrenic people. And honestly it’s exhausting hanging out with them. I was on a big kick of “don’t let them tell you you’re sick” but it’s a definite illness, and I feel sorry for the constant mental torture, confusion, and oppression many of these people live with
“don’t let them tell you you’re sick” might not be the answer but i feel like you got the spirit right as in "don't let an illness stop you from being a whole person"
@@NewFrontier916my friends did the same the losers. And i had no “episode” i dont have mental illness either. I was part of the occult for a time and it really messed me up, my faith in Christ saved me.
Unfortunately our society is too stupid to understand spiritual problems like that, opting to reduce it to mental illness at times.
@@jakeschwartz2514 amen I feel you, so thankful we have Jesus and the occult is not the answer

Nobody asked
@@AverageAliennobody asked you
People hearing in the spiritual realm aren’t crazy, people listening to the demons who claim to love them or give them power while they tell them to do harmful things, that’s another story. Scripture says Satan is the father of lies who comes to steal kill and destroy, people need to stop putting their faith in him. People coming to Christ and being delivered from the voices or even possession that was beyond their ability to control or be controlled with meds is a real thing, how you want to define how it works, it doesn’t matter how it works, it matters that true and “genuine” acceptance of what Jesus did on the cross does work. By his Isaiah 53 stripes we are healed. See the gospels, start in Matthew, Mark, or John.

@David C It's similar to making fun of blind or deaf people, or people with photosensitive epilepsy.
@@staringatchairs7844 it isn't making fun of schizophrenics, it's mocking people who don't have schizophrenia but believe the government is constantly tracking and surveilling them. The humor is that they list out these things commonly said by your average libertarian Facebook user and compare it to a disease as serious as schizophrenia. The onion doesn't just pick on people with mental illness
@@szewal They talked about schizophrenics and used textbook paranoid schizophrenic delusions. It's about schizophrenia. Still funny tho
@Wise Acres Not even remotely the same, you can take your edgy atheism somewhere else lmao. And people with schizophrenia can have religious delusions but that doesn't mean anybody who is religious is experiencing psychosis, it's a faith.
As somebody who went through pretty much all of the delusions listed in this video, this is one of the best/most accurate things I've ever seen
Bigtoe the only real part is the doctors injecting recorders on patients and updating the system through medicine, trust me I’m a doctor 🥼 just to study them and then give the information to the government so they can find out how to control them and use them in favor of society, nothing dark, just good intentions!
i dont call persecution dellusions
The thing about these kinds of a delusions is that even if the rational part of you recognizes that it might be a little ridiculous for some reason the "feeling" doesn't go away, and the thoughts persist.
@@bryanmejia3498 You're 100% right, some of my delusions were literally impossible but still to this day there's a small part of me that thinks they're real. It really throws your sense of intuition and instinct off
@Green Giant Try anti-psychotic meds
As a health care professional I can tell you this is spot on!
Now they just need to make the patients future visible through normal tv broadcasts 🎉 fuuuu😂😂
The Devil is a liar. What they go into are visions, but what they “hear” about what they see probably isn’t their future. The Devil is confusing and tormenting them. Sometimes with what they see or hear, but more often with how others misguide and treat them. It’s a spiritual issue and an issue of trying to reason through it without scriptures to direct and fight it. Even Jesus had the Devil show him stuff, but he fought it with the truth. Read the gospels with that perspective. That is if you truly care about your patience. I see people get set free. Do you? I’m not being snarky, are you seeing the same results that Deliverance ministers and Biblical counselors see where people go from homeless and out of their mind to productive leaders in society having better than any vision of the future they ever imagined? Like the man in Mark five who knew to run to Jesus after being a cutter he was later found clothed and within his right mind no longer needed if to be chained. It doesn’t matter what position you hold working with those who are deemed mentally ill, shift your own mind and how you see them, see them as God sees them and learn how to talk to and pray for them. They are actually seeing stuff they just don’t know why or where it’s coming from, and they don’t know how to get it to stop, some of these people opened the doorway to that stuff through New Age meditation, messing with the occult, or most common they literally invite in a demon through prayer trying to run away from a trauma and not realizing it’s not God they are calling on as they make deals that have to be broken. I’m not saying that chemical imbalances do not exist, sometimes the problem is drugs, physical, or nutritional issues instead or in addition, but to be “crazy” is to know the truth and reject it that thinking other less spiritual options could work out just as well, that’s crazy. Sadly, medicated people too horrible crimes, I’m not even sure if we can say it’s a band-Aid as they “act normal” (emotionless) but the core issues remain. People need the truth of the Lord and to humbly submit to him as being their custom solutions and the only way.
I am a paranoid schizophrenic and am greatly relieved to find out it's been a "team effort" all along. I used to worry that I had good luck or God was watching out for me or something. I guess all those daily rituals and prayers were for nothing.

@Alpha I'm epileptic and some of the meds I take also work as bipolar medications. Without them I'd be kaput. Not all meds are bad, it just depends on the severity of the situation. Believe me, I've tried every natural remedy out there and worked with everyone from certified nutritionists to naturopaths and nothing comes close to being as effective as pharmaceutical drugs. I supplement with a healthy keto diet that's proven to help epileptics, but believe me when I say my meds are a GOOD thing. In general, though, America is overmedicated, I agree.

Wow, this is great; my stunt of living in the sewers of a psychiatric ward for the last couple of years is finally getting recognition from the government! I'm so glad I'm not alone in doing this. Every 67 hours I restart a cycle of whispering "I am watching you" seven times every 8 hours through a megaphone so that the entire psychiatric ward rumbles. I think the whispering helps so they know I don't share their caregiver information. I hope they feel better, knowing that if they stumble, I will be there to pick them up.
As a schizophrenic myself, I’m happy that I’m not schizophrenic
I find it very wholesome that these measures are considered to help the schizophrenic people, I use to follow them around their routine and then pretend I'm not when they look at me to make sure they are fine but also to give them space to be themselves. It's very important that they feel a constant hidden presence around them so they know they are not alone.
Sounds like something an imaginary psychologist would say.

We should organize supportive "gang helping" communities over the internet to carefully plan who schizophrenics get to interact with during the day. When the schizophrenic is present, we can use special hand signals and secret words to coordinate each other, as to not distract the schizophrenic from his activities.
This comment is evil 🤣
We should also alternate between signal colors using our clandestine civilian outfits.

Remember kids, even if a person refuses your help, you can always give them some confident reassurance that you’ll be coming back to get them (again, in reference to help). Best to show your determination by giving example scenarios that you will gladly overcome, and make sure to never break eye contact because it would be rude.
Shit had me crying 😂😂
😂
Spookily similar to Jehovah's Witnesses.
Are you referring to intense stare as another act to care for them?
ive found it really helpful to let them know I know their secrets and I've heard their thoughts, just so they feel seen and understood
More phrases they should say in the Ear Speakers:
“We want you”. This is in reference to them being in our lives.
“We know what’s going to happen”. We know that we’re going to help them with their mental state.
“We’re here for you. Basically in your house”. Because THATS how devoted we are to helping them.
I think such a message is necessary: "We will always be here. Nothing can get rid of us."
It's important to anyone being treated for mental health that they know their caregivers are present and not going to leave or give up on them. I think that message of constancy needs to be sent to underline the fact that anywhere they go there will be someone watching for them. Regardless of where it is, whether it be their bedroom at night, the woods outside the city, or even in abandoned infrastructure they may seek shelter in.

The irony of this video isn't just that they get a mass of common symptoms completely correct, it's that the completely oblivious "let's help them by doing this" attitude is exactly what exacerbates the stress-induced symptoms.
Our culture didn't invent mental illness categories because they were objectively correct; we invented them because the institutions we built predisposed the people living in them to specific problems.
Thanks for the essay analysis pal, didn't read + no one asked
Wtf? No one in the world thinks that they need to help shizophrenics by doing things that induce it more. Maybe in mental institutions back in the day
@@AverageAlien It's two sentences.
It's a comment section, nobody needs to ask
Not sure that that follows dude ... Certain indigenous cultures in South America have individuals with what we'd call mental health issues as well, but wherein they occur in "institutionless" societies ... Mental health problems are correlated with neurological and other physical/structural (as well as chemical) anomalies, not social structures and institutions, heh.
Yes, a "crazy" environment can maybe make things worse for someone, but suggesting that such an environment is the sole cause of mental illness is reductive and false.
You might be interested in a book entitled "Suspicious Minds" by Jay and Ian Gold (PhDs in Philosophy and Psychology, IIRC). They discuss this topic you seem interested in at length, including the disparate conceptions or taxonomies of mental states.

They don't know what else to do. It's only understandable to those afflicted. I think it's normal and everyone else has an issue.
Wdym "mild schizophrenia"? You been bipolar or Cyclothymia?
did I hear "have their care givers faces reconstructed to look like dead relatives" wtf
No - you just thought that you did.
I wouldn't worry about it....
so what does e.y.e.s. spell anyway? i mean, what's e yes? a drug reference?
I ask my girlfriend Jessica if she could get a face reconstruction to look more like my ex Rebecca so I could stop thinking about her.
@@1943vermork how'd that go over?

Just because I am paranoid does not mean someone isn't following me.
just because you're paranoid don't mean they're not after you
they were DIABOLICAL for this
The writers are on a complete different level. This is GOLD. This is better than everything I have seen in satire! Brilliant!!!
That's what I said. It's nice to know someone gets it, even if it is only humor
Used to be.
Gone...
Gone...
The acting is what sells it though. It's so earnest
@@ggggg77273Sometimes I think about these random Onion actors, and how hilarious they were. These characters should get their own movie or something
If you haven’t, Brass Eye and The Day Today are in very much the same vein and well worth a watch.
a black van has been following me for 2 weeks
OK, where's the gag reel?? How they can do this straight faced is incredible.
I'm pretty sure all the actors are unable to feel joy, that is the only way they can keep a straight face.

this is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen, amazing!
and thus the NSA was born
IgnoreThisComment OrDont you're the person they're making fun of
@@mauirandall8176 the government has even admitted to doing it themselves, funny how people would rather pretend all the surveillance going on is not real and let the mass spying happen
No Schizophrenic's Alone
@@mauirandall8176 moron harm yourself
@NSA It's not, Opfart was real and it used torture to stop farts from emissioning from buttholes and it canceled our right to fart by spreading propaganda against it.
So the newscaster and the people with the expertise he invited to bring this so obvious and yet value proposition, which concluded since start, strong on the way to a nice undebatle hive mind, followed rethoric. Very nice to see the news, and their is no discussion and you feel so nice at the end, nothing to learn but that these people brought their expertise we all could value.
As a physician, this made my day, have watched this many times and never fails to get a laugh.
They really did nail the presentation of a schizophrenic patient.
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
i think you are paranoid
just because their trolling, doesnt make void the truth
(in reference to help).
This is the greatest joke of all time. I commend you
Quote from Mr Paladin
I'm schizophrenic and I find this hilarious because it's just... true, lol.
schizophrenia is no joke unless its happening before your eyes, or on tv or whatever. its basically always funny. one of my schizophrenic friends thought his banker was following him so he walked into the bank upto the teller (off his meds of course) and handed her a note that read "if you dont stop it i'm going to kill you". he is the most gentle man, and the teller didnt know that he believed she was following him all over the place all the time. it might have been an odd situation but holy shit was it funny
Julia Hermette me too...
Neeboopsh Hahaha, holy shit, that guy is lucky he didn't get arrested for attempted bank robbery.
How Ironic. I'm not schizophrenic, but was diagnosed as being so, and I still found the video to be hilarious.
+Axel Schultz every statue doesn't love you any more
"... in reference to help."
This explains why I hear all these soothing voices. Thanks
As a schizophrenic I hate to say that this is the best representation of the symptoms I have seen yet. The only difference for me is that I often feel like there are bugs in my ears and throat and I feel like someone’s biting me sometimes.
Don’t you appreciate the biting? Sorry I thought that might help signify that you’re never alone and I’m always there with you 😔
I’ll try to do better
@@thejoeker8439 lmfao nawr
oof I'm sorry fren, that sounds so awful
I am inside your walls
They are joking😁
"Everyone wants to get you...in reference to help."
👌😉 perfect
They ARE watching you...
I'm in your walls
I'm schizophrenic and I love this. I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when I was 23. I'm 26 now
I know too, turn around.
What's it like knowing you're schizophrenic? I have a family member who became schizophrenic later in life and I can't help but feel like if she realized she was schizophrenic life would be a lot better for her.
wirklichdoof that last comment about the color red. Is that a real thing?
wirklichdoof 2:08
wirklichdoof real thing = do schizophrenics fear the color red?
One of the best things our governments have done for these people is letting the homeless shelter in the walls of their homes, allowing them to never feel lonely at any given time, while not interfering with their day-to-day lives and at the same time giving the homeless a place to stay
ween fan moment
Y'all are scaring me 😱
Yo, look up. I heard that from here...
This is still ground breaking!!
"In reference to help" 😭
I'm schizophrenic and I love this. Finally, some real HONEST news!

Actually a thing, btw
Watching this 16 years later in 2024 and it seems they implemented these things, but on a deeper level
timeless video. ❤
I am a medical student finishing up a 3 month rotation in a Psych ward. I laughed so hard bc these are exactly the symptoms and things schizo-paranoid patients talk about!
I guess some may be telling the truth
That's the joke
@@derbenutzer5958that the statue loving them
I met a guy in the psych ward who thought President Obama was monitoring him through the cameras in the unit, and sending magazine advertisements to the hospital to communicate his future blessings. He thought Obama was going to get him a new car. He let me read some of the letters that he was writing and holding up to the camera. It was like a letter to Santa. In his eyes, the world was conspiring in his favor. He seemed happy.
@@Erin____ I'm happy for him in his contentment. I wish contentment for everyone.
Me and that statue: it's complicated
I love that people are still watching these videos, commenting and interacting with one another 15 years after the fact.
the amount of paranoid schizophrenics in this comment section is concerning
I’m not crazy!! Thankfully for the news report!!!
this is two minutes of pure gold
Eye contact is also a way of letting people know you care about them. If everyone in the community could organize to stare at them whenever they are around, it would let them know they are supported. But, prolonged eye contact can be a little intimidating, so its important to break the eye contact as soon as they look back. This way we can ensure the greatest level of comfort.
That will just cause severe social anxiety😅

Underrated comment; here's a "like." ❤
Made me lol on that one 😂😂
Underrated comment; here's a "like." ❤
this video was really helpful.
up until now i didnt even think of looking for hidden messages in tattoos from random people i see on the street, but i will keep my eyes open from now on!
Sent this to my Schizophrenic friend earlier today. I think it gave him piece of mind.
I personally do not feel spied on enough.
Go to Clearwater Florida where the Scientology headquarters are. You can take pictures of them and you'll be set for the whole trip.
Sounds like a human zoo lol😂@@TheLoneMitten
