- This video describes the symptoms associated with Schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is sometimes conceptualized as having three phases: active phase (acute phase), prodromal phase, and residual phase. The active phase of Schizophrenia is characterized by hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech, disorganized or catatonic behavior, and negative symptoms. Negative symptoms include avolition, which is a reduction in goal-directed behavior. The prodromal and residual phases are characterized by ideas of reference, unusual perceptions, vague speech, and negative symptoms. All the phases of Schizophrenia are associated with dysphoric mood, inappropriate affect, decreased interest in food and eating, sleep disturbance, and cognitive deficits. Hostility and aggression are sometimes associated with Schizophrenia, but the majority of individuals with Schizophrenia are not hostile or aggressive. Random assaults are not common. Schizophrenia is associated with an increased risk of suicidal behavior. Anosognosia often occurs with Schizophrenia. Anosognosia is a lack of insight or awareness about having a disorder and is a strong predictor of poor treatment outcomes. Schizophrenia is typically treated with medication and psychotherapy.
Dr Grande. Can make a video about the relationship between cannabis, psychosis and schizophrenia?
you can tell he is a kind soul just by the tone of his voice. the good doctor is good. sharp as a whip.
very very intelligent
Aww man I'm up past midnight watching this stuff. I have schizoaffective disorder. Went on mental health radar when I tried to do the big leave.
Dr Grande, would you be able to make a video on Paranoid Schizophrenia? Many many thanks for all your effort.
I can strongly relate to serious lack of motivation
It was 2014 when I was first diagnosed. Rediagnosed in April 2019. I still have a hard time finding that I'm ill. Medication has been the biggest problem for me.
thank you, I understand my psych patients better now
Thank you dr Todd Grande I know a lot of this has happened to me! In fact most of it! Keep up the videos I love them. I currently got out of a psychiatric ward where police transferred me. I however signed my way voluntary. I’m noticing the positive effect of my haldol, celexa and trileptol. I did have to be transported and handcuffed. It was uncomfortable 😣.
Hello Dr Grande! I heard that some schizophrenic patients can work, but I know that becoming hired is almost impossible for a schizophrenic in my country if that person tells about this mental disorder in the hiring or selection process. I believe that a partial reason for that is prejudice. But I am also curious about if there is any college degree profession that schizophrenics can't perform. I wonder then what kind of career a schizophrenic patient can perfom and if schizophrenics can compete equally for the same jobs as healthy people. Would you mind to answer about those questions in a video? I am not a mental health professional. I am from Brazil.
Can't focus, can't concentrate , can't follow logic , can't motivate , we mimick others all day long😀 , welcome to schizophrenia , as you age dare i say it gets easier, just eat right, walk Alot, no drug habits and positive people and you'll be fine❤
I'm desperate to help a friend. She's been having hallucinations, audio, visual and sensory. Even taste, and awful feelings all over her body and inside her. Very negative voices calling her horrible names. Voices telling her they are going to drop her into depression and then it happens so severely and then saying they are going to bring her way up and then feelings of ecstasy. The thing is, she doesn't seem crazy at all. She's terrified yes, but not delusional. She's not catatonic, she's very aware of what's happening and is not convinced of what it is, rather she is researching everything she can to find out what may be causing it. She even finds it hard to talk about because she's aware of how crazy it sounds. I think what terrifies me the most is how normal she is otherwise, as in her demeanor, her speech, the way she analyzes whats happening. She came across some info about EMF poisoning when researching many different things and got an EMF detector and found that there are extremely toxic levels (according to the info she found) in the home she just moved into. What I have described here is only a fraction of what she has told me. Its absolutely terrifying to hear second hand,, i don't know how she's getting through it.Is it possible for someone to be schizophrenic without being delusional or catatonic or having multiple personalities?? I'm so confused and scared for her. She wants to seek help but waiting for state aided insurance to kick in. She is worried she may have brain cancer, that it could be EMF poisoning, that it could be her own mind going crazy, or some supernatural whatever. I've been having an incredible amount of anxiety just talking to her about it. If anyone has any input or knows of anything that may be causing this or knows anyone going through similar things please respond. She is 41, has been sober for 12 years, living with this for 2 years now and has just started talking about it because she's been so scared. She sees things like from the inside of people's tvs or screens looking back at them. She sees glitchy holographic screens in front of her showing her very disturbing things sometimes. Too much to type here. Please help.
Hello Dr. Grande! Could you please make a video about a personality type known as "Dark Triad"? As far as I know, this is a kind of mix of sub-clinical degrees of psychopathy (or ASPD), NPD and Machiavellianism. This type of personality seems to be particularly destructive in work environments, where they "fly under the radar", so to speak, since their preferred role is that of a "grey Cardinal" rather than of a "shiny King". Perhaps you could share your thoughts about how those three personality styles, even in their sub-clinical forms, can indeed merge synergistically creating a distinct presentation. Thank you for your videos. They are all great!
He has done already
Hello, dr Grande. I would like to ask You some questions about catatonic schizophrenia. Is schizophrenia with catatonic symptoms still present in 21st century? If yes, is it more common in developing countries? Is catatonia a real symptom of schizophrenia or just a side-effect of medical treatment? I want to apologize for possible language errors in my comment. I live in Poland and I hardly ever use English language.
Hello Dr.Tracy Marks,i am from brazil,what you think about neurotecnology and brain implants????What you think Elon Musk's Neuralink????You think that technology can be used in the treatement of Paranoid Schizoprenia or cure that mental disorder????
Dr, could you let me know if someone can have schizophrenia and still hold down a job and dress well and shower regularly? Also they dont use word salad but has zero insight.
Are the hallucinated voices always negative, or are they sometime reassuring and complimenting?
Is it possible there is such a thing as adult onset schizophrenia, like in 50s and 60s age group?
tru
Is it possible for an adult to become Schizophrenic? Literally from anything, maybe from Truma or repeated drug use for example?
Fluffysheepbruh Well that’s actually Myth, repeated drug use can bring on psychosis and if you’re schizophrenic it can make the process faster. But no you can’t, you can become psychotic or you can experience dissociation, but it’s not gonna give you schizophrenia unless you have it, hope it gives you peace of mine, even tho this is 2mo old. Also may I add, always test your drugs! I know that seems so inconvenient, but you never know what you’re going to get sometimes, especially on the street.
This one 'isnt - well represented on Talk Shows. (( Sadly, it's not one of those Disorders that suddenly gets better - because a Celebrity is interviewing an Author about a new book release.)) Experience trying to look at a reflection through a 'SHATTERED MIRROR' and a few pieces don't visually belong in the picture. --- for a few lucid moments --- The best someone can do is break out a tube of glue, and try to put a few shards back together.
I didn't die when I tried to kill myself, and I came back even more messed up. 8.5 months of agony. I get to pay for this every single day, and there were the infamous "them." RZ and MM can kiss it. Devil in your wallet for that. I can't produce creative material very easily, not that I ever could. In fact, I could only write after brain-damage. It comes out of me like a blank screen, which bothers me. I can type for hours sometimes. I'm constantly seeking stimulation. I'm getting off a med, which is going to make me go bonkers for a few days most likely.
Hey does this funny completely fictional story, sound real about schizophrenia? I’ll appreciate any criticism or opinions. My God delusional is helpful but it also could be the cause of all the positive and negative voices. I don’t know what’s real because is seems so real, sometimes I think I might be part of a government experiment because of how it communicate it’s like it’s actively listening and reacting. Sometimes it kind of just repeats itself and my negative voices just repeat themselves too. so, what if it is causing this narrative of I need this voice. I recently try to tell myself it’s all not real, but then it reacted trying to convince me it’s real. Mostly, it doesn’t react to me disbelieving until maybe a few days later but it reacted right away, recently. The delusional is getting stronger in the terms on how it makes me feel, I feeling it’s loving but so strong it’s uncomfortable and it almost hurts. It’s also grown in how well it communicates to me. Recently, I feel like the voice wants me to have no other friends but it. Sometimes I hear, I’ll kill your friends, which makes me wonder did my sister do something when I was around 5, because my uncle told me she was strangely cruel to me and she use to
Hurt small animal for fun, but I can’t actually remember any of this. All I remember is I didn’t want friends, for some reason, but now I feel guilty about it. I don’t know what caused the feeling of not wanting friends, it could be anyone maybe it was just myself. I use to believe you would go to hell if you didn’t have friends either which scared me as a child. I use to rely on God a little as a child to feel better about my situation and then when I was a teenager I was obsessed with the idea if god was real or not which led nowhere because you can’t prove God exist, then when I felt alone in College is when the delusion manifested and it’s been growing ever since. The more I look for the cause though, I’ll probably drift farther from the truth. What I do know is that I was born with a bad brain and I can’t remember anything six years old and younger. What if my brain is so sick it’s in love with itself, like these two separate personalities.
Truthfully though I messed with my brain too with hypnosis since watching the jungle book when I was five, so that’s probably the real cause of everything or at least made things more delusional. I stopped my fetish with hypnosis at 10 after I had a dream God was mad at me, but I picked it up again years later, I still tried to avoid it mostly until later in life, then later I actually added God to
My fetish, because God makes it ok. My memories was kind of spotty sometimes throughout 11 and younger, then at 11 I started blacking out during 1st period and then seeing stuff that wasn’t there that happened only briefly though, but then I got paranoid with my thinking for like three years until I realize I’m probably just crazy. Maybe the fear kind of woke me up or something, because I was able to remember things better after my first visual hallucinations. So, that’s my story you can read this original story at the library under, wow you suck. Thank you
But what makes it strange in your description is when something is not funny they are laughing , because it might be funny to me but someone else it won't be , now unless your saying if something like a child falls and hurts themselves and someone is laughing like a jackass then i understand your description but you were to vague and lacking which makes you questionable but everyone makea mistakes i believe . dont mind this comment please but you make me uneasy i feel like if i had to talk to you one on one id be very uneasy ..
Well, I guess my suicide attempt actually saved me from "them." I couldn't feel the sexual suicide in my brain. And the girl who was working on me said I was the only one who did not lie. Yeah, because I don't have brain activity. If everyone is saying the same lie, is that a red flag? Says prayer to smart people.
I take offense laughing at something "not funny " is a sign of pathology, I see irony in nearly everything non-tragic, and irony to me is the most humorous of phenomena. Such as the pentagram in the background lol. Also patterns. I'm the type of guy who thinks of something funny on the bus and can't hold it in, so while people may THINK I'm schizophrenic it just might be their hat. Or their boots. Or how the hat and boots work together with the coat to make them look like a giraffe a girdle from Belgium.
Hahahahaha
