      That’s because coffee has caffeine and the caffeine helps a schizophrenic feel better, I realized this because my sister says it provides dopamine and a schizophrenic craves dopamine; so much that it causes psychosis. Very sad stuff.

      I don't have schizophrenia but I suffered from PTSD for 5 years. After the trauma that caused it my brain never turned off. There was always doubt and my internal voice that was constantly there. Even in my sleep my mind was constantly going observing any and every sound. It was a miserable and dark time, but thankfully I was able to get help. Now everything is quiet for 2 years I have enjoyed peace and quiet. I sometimes get up early just to have quiet time, bc my mom is the total opposite. As soon as she wakes up she turns on tvs and radios bc it reminds her of when she was growing up there was always noise in their big family. My heart goes out to anyone having to deal with this. It's nerve-wrecking, but people manage to soldier on through it. But when they do have a break through they appreciate silence and the things most of us take for granted.

      When my meditating was at it's longest like 10- 18 hours a day for 10 days. You're body reaches for the mind and the mind is detached. At this point I realized I could see the shape of thoughts as they came in my body and I could identify other realms of space. With that said your experience is limited by your minds imagination. So all that I've seen might have been real but only through my limited tools of the human imagination. But once the mind leaves the body . The talking can come from anywhere. Most people already talk to themselves all-day. If they for even a second thought that voice wasn't there own . Good luck.

But then I feel like myself and my thoughts seem to be coming from somewhere I can't really explain. I feel a lot as well. I feel very deeply and honest. Maybe everyone feels the same way and I just focus a lot on it. Maybe I feel more intense than most people. Either way it's a struggle for me sometimes. And my many thoughts and many feelings together are just so overwhelming. I've tried meditating before and I really love it. I like to go to this place up in my mind and everything is light there.

    My Nan had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar, she was hospitalised in and out throughout her life, I’ve been bawling my eyes out at this vid as this sweet soul reminds me of her. So kind and pure hearted, my Nan had a lot of childhood trauma.. including sexual abuse, being raised in the foster system she didn’t have a solid family unit. She was taken away from her birth parents before the age of 2, split up from all her siblings. She was incredibly misunderstood, sensitive and felt alone. She passed away in February 2019 and I had a psychotic episode myself in which I felt her spirit with me, I too have my own struggles.. I miss her dearly 💓

    My mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia.....she died in 2011.....I am now 62....when she died I was with her........I was torn between sorrow of her death and happy that her torturous life was finally over....looking back on her life the signs were apparent even as a child. Her mother who I loved dearly was a high society lady who never accepted her daughter's lack of measuring up. When my mother got glasses as a child her mother cried. Growing up as a child all seemed normal. Then when I was about 10 years old I witnessed things that now looking back were signs that things were not right with her. Listening to sad music and crying...not normal. Several things happened later that impacted my life when both my parents were drunk were torturous.....when they built a brand new house (every married couple's dream) we moved into the new house. I found it odd that boxes were never unpacked. When my father left it was just my brother and I. My mother would lay on the couch and stare at the walls smoking cigarettes with the ash tray over flowing on the floor. If there is a hell on earth this was it...I lived it....I could not take it anymore and moved in with my father. Over the years my mother was a terrible alcoholic....I had to take her to the hospital multiple times...her room was covered in empty beer cans and the closet had a large moving box with empty bottles of Jack Daniels whiskey bottles.....she almost died once and they had to pump her stomach....she ended up in a psychiatric hospital......later she moved into a cabin my uncle owned....then she went to the nursing home where she lived the rest of her life. I would visit her.....I never stopped seeing my mother. She had once told me I was the best thing that ever happened to her.....my point is that I always loved my mother in spite of what she was and had been. All of this made my life more difficult than most but I over came and I have lived a good life in spite of all this.

Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma

      I hear things (not voices) and in a quiet place I can feel the difference until I’ve been alone for too long then it gets annoying and scary. When you’re around ppl you can see if someone else reacted to what you hear. It’s nice to have a dog around, they look to sounds... until your brain makes you see the dog when he’s not there and then That reacts to the sound and that’s more frightening.

    I said that everyone suffers from mental problems one time or another but the sad thing is they don't talk about it but keep it hidden and bottled up.
    You could hear a pin drop , the silence spoke volumes.
    It's a shame that even in the 21st century it has a massive stigma .

      @opalallen2066 I really feel for you. That is awful to suffer for such a long time. Sometimes I wonder if mental health could also be a genetic problem. It's quite surprising how it seems to trickle down some generations. Either way, I so wish there was more help out there for anyone suffering.
      Also I wish you well , though I don't know you personally. I really do mean that. Take care 😉

    My boyfriend has this type of schizophrenia and it’s heartbreaking to see him struggle. His behaviour is similar to what is described in the video and since I struggle with mental illness myself it’s hard to fully realise what this condition is doing to him. I will often take it personally and it makes everything a little harder for the both of us… seeing a loved on struggle and withdraw themselves from reality and wanting to push you away is hard. I can’t quite imagine what he’s going through but I always try to be understanding and respectful even tho I am suffering too. I wish he wouldn’t be living with this condition, for the sake of his own happiness. Everyday things are incredibly hard for him, let alone having a relationship.
    I have been with him for 3 years be I still don’t quite know how to handle some situations but the best I can do is be there for him as good as I can, even tho it can hurt a lot.

      If you (or someone you know) can see/hear spirits, you are NOT alone or CRAZY ! Unless you had a serious head injury or dose on illegal drugs regularly. You are like me a person with a third eye/ear capability. We represent about 10% of humanity. I was Paranoid Schizophrenic for sometime too. I did the meds and therapies too, but there seem to be no end/final cure. So I did my own research. BTW, I am a Civil Engineer with a highly analytical mind. Once I knew the REAL reason (Spirits) I was set FREE ! I even turned the tables on the evil spirits. I TORMENTED them with Worship Songs, Quoted Holy Scripture to them. Even called them names and mocked them. It drove them away. The spirits would come back a few days later but I gave them the SAME treatment. Eventually they gave up. I've been meds free for the last 16 years now. The spirits no longer bother me, because I'm NO LONGER FUN to torment. The spirits prefer SCARED & CONFUSED victims. So Im sharing my experience and insights.
      You can get schizophrenia from various reasons like a serious head injury, regular use of illegal drugs, practice of black magic, or traumatic events like rape, bullying, rejection, total isolation, death of a loved one or near-death experience. Anything that seriously WEAKENS your body, EMBITTERS your soul, and affects your FAITH in God, also WEAKENS your protective spiritual AURA and allows the evil spirits to communicate with you. You can pick RANDOM evil spirits from morgue, cemeteries, hospitals, asylums, jails, dungeons, and abandoned houses and isolated forests.
      Our physical and spirit worlds exists in parallel dimensions, separated by force fields. The spirits can see/hear us, we can't see/hear them NORMALLY. Spirits communicate by MENTAL TELEPATHY ( mind to mind ) that's why ONLY you can see or hear them. That's why the spirits can also READ YOUR MIND/THOUGHTS ! You can also secretly TALK/SHOUT to them by TELEPATHY - in the presence of other people. No one will notice & think you're CRAZY ! Ive done this a few times & forced the spirits away.
      Spirits can also DISTORT human speech. For example if your friend says " Hello, What's Up ? " it will sound like " You're UGLY & STUPID ! " and so you'll get ANGRY. That's how spirits make you PARANOID & anti-social. The speech DISTORTION happens only a few SECONDS ! The speakers face suddenly changes to an UGLY facial expression ! The Spirits TRUE FACE shows like a dwarf or leprechaun ! Then the face reverts back to normal and the speaker is NOT even aware of what happened. He'll wonder why you're angry at him ! I've seen this many times !!
      The evil spirits want to isolate you socially. You're their TOY ! Some spirits can also SHAPE SHIFT - appear in ANY form (animal or people). They can IMITATE other peoples LOOKS/VOICES and pretend like real people. Spirits can also produce SOUNDS like knocking on doors, footsteps, crying or screaming people, scratching on walls, police sirens, barking dogs etc. Their plan is to scare and ISOLATE you socially .. for themselves. Make people think you're CRAZY .. even if you re NOT. Resist them, Don't give up .. or you're really gonna end up crazy. Remember this, its NOT you but THEM (spirits) that's causing this. Fight them, mock them, EXORCISE them out of your house/life... eventually they'll give up and leave. .

      Psychiatric institutions are not for the faint-hearted. My (former) stepdaughter turned up at my door one day in an appalling mental state. She is schizophrenic (delusional and suicidal) and on this occasion, about as far out of reality as its possible to get. A few days later I had her sent to such a place. Her parents and siblings would not even discuss her. Already looking after my autistic son, I felt I was able to cope. I was wrong. It's a full-time job with 24/24 supervision.
      The first few visits were quiet enough for me. Not sure she was even aware that I was there. Then, as my face became familiar to others, they started to introduce themselves. The visits were regular and it got to the point where I was almost mobbed. There were one or two that I would not turn my back on but, as a rule, they were friendly enough. Visitors were rare for all of them. I would get requests for chocolate, biscuits and other stuff. Curiously, it was always stuff they could get easily enough in the hospital. I often wondered if the loneliness was causing more damage than their vulnerability would on the outside. Not really, none would have survived long.
      The films and the media give the impression that these people are very manipulative (some are). In reality, most are very vulnerable and easily led.
      The areas I visited were for the 'safer' and less erratic patients. I didn't get to see the others but, I heard them. It's very disturbing.

I believe that in the presented state (which is permanent for the subject in the video) she recedes to a very young memory of herself, a time when life had not yet hurt her profoundly so that she could feel intact even if that means being a 6 year old shy child psychologically which is the mental state of the woman in the video. I think schizophrenia has nothing to do with being crazy, it's about protecting whatever is left of her own self representation to cope with living. The reason for the damaged self representation is usually the hardest to find but more often than not tied to a trauma that occured in childhood that left a blank in the personality. Later in life if additional stress and bereavement is added, that black hole in the self representation might grow and become a dominant part or problem which is when the name schizophrenia is given. But really it is just normal coping of the mind with very challenging episodes in life that can no longer be remedied, so the individual find ways around it that to us look like they are crazy but we would do the same if we had gone through their lives. Back to my gf, i eventually had to break up when it became clear she had no wish for and probably was not fit to raise a child. And that was no easy way out, it was a real reason. That said, it is wrong to look at people with mental problems to be simply personification of something bad, they're just struggling with a life that you may not be able to cope with if it was yours or maybe would do exactly what they are doing. The problem is they can not be functional in society. Love and understanding are always beneficial and some therapy can improve the mental stability. Some people are functional schizophrenics who know of their condition but are able to not let it interfere with interaction with others. Though usually their partner if they have one would know.

      "you must be feeling very lonesome" doesn't sound very gentle to me. It's literally like pushing that idea on the patient and like in a way forcing them to accept what they said. The word 'must' isn't the right word here. He only said "are you?" later. And you can clearly see her reaction after that sentence or question. She hesitantly said "yes" and started smiling, which indicates that she's trying to avoid any danger or punishment and just surrendering by agreeing or accepting what she thought they wanted her to do. I agree that he was gentle when compared to many others.

      If you (or someone you know) can see/hear spirits, you are NOT alone or CRAZY ! Unless you had a serious head injury or dose on illegal drugs regularly. You are like me a person with a third eye/ear capability. We represent about 10% of humanity. I was Paranoid Schizophrenic for sometime too. I did the meds and therapies too, but there seem to be no end/final cure. So I did my own research. BTW, I am a Civil Engineer with a highly analytical mind. Once I knew the REAL reason (Spirits) I was set FREE ! I even turned the tables on the evil spirits. I TORMENTED them with Worship Songs, Quoted Holy Scripture to them. Even called them names and mocked them. It drove them away. The spirits would come back a few days later but I gave them the SAME treatment. Eventually they gave up. I've been meds free for the last 16 years now. The spirits no longer bother me, because I'm NO LONGER FUN to torment. The spirits prefer SCARED & CONFUSED victims. So Im sharing my experience and insights.
      You can get schizophrenia from various reasons like a serious head injury, regular use of illegal drugs, practice of black magic, or traumatic events like rape, bullying, rejection, total isolation, death of a loved one or near-death experience. Anything that seriously WEAKENS your body, EMBITTERS your soul, and affects your FAITH in God, also WEAKENS your protective spiritual AURA and allows the evil spirits to communicate with you. You can pick RANDOM evil spirits from morgue, cemeteries, hospitals, asylums, jails, dungeons, and abandoned houses and isolated forests.
      Our physical and spirit worlds exists in parallel dimensions, separated by force fields. The spirits can see/hear us, we can't see/hear them NORMALLY. Spirits communicate by MENTAL TELEPATHY ( mind to mind ) that's why ONLY you can see or hear them. That's why the spirits can also READ YOUR MIND/THOUGHTS ! You can also secretly TALK/SHOUT to them by TELEPATHY - in the presence of other people. No one will notice & think you're CRAZY ! Ive done this a few times & forced the spirits away.
      Spirits can also DISTORT human speech. For example if your friend says " Hello, What's Up ? " it will sound like " You're UGLY & STUPID ! " and so you'll get ANGRY. That's how spirits make you PARANOID & anti-social. The speech DISTORTION happens only a few SECONDS ! The speakers face suddenly changes to an UGLY facial expression ! The Spirits TRUE FACE shows like a dwarf or leprechaun ! Then the face reverts back to normal and the speaker is NOT even aware of what happened. He'll wonder why you're angry at him ! I've seen this many times !!
      The evil spirits want to isolate you socially. You're their TOY ! Some spirits can also SHAPE SHIFT - appear in ANY form (animal or people). They can IMITATE other peoples LOOKS/VOICES and pretend like real people. Spirits can also produce SOUNDS like knocking on doors, footsteps, crying or screaming people, scratching on walls, police sirens, barking dogs etc. Their plan is to scare and ISOLATE you socially .. for themselves. Make people think you're CRAZY .. even if you re NOT. Resist them, Don't give up .. or you're really gonna end up crazy. Remember this, its NOT you but THEM (spirits) that's causing this. Fight them, mock them, EXORCISE them out of your house/life... eventually they'll give up and leave. .

    We can heal the world by recognizing she is in her own imagination, the multiple “voices” which act as protectors and guides, some led by fear some led by love. I agree 100% she smiles as a coping mechanism. I have strange triggers I’m overcoming from my childhood trauma that I do because the uncomfortable memories going from nice mom to really scary mom. I would switch to an energy more acceptable by my mom, this helped me survive criticism, judgment, anger, neglect etc. this helped me feel “normal” I disassociate just as this gentle woman does, I space out in my own imagination because this world is too loud. This “disorder” or disease is more sane to me than believing there is only 1 voice in your head and you prefer me to act more like you to make you feel more comfortable disregarding how I feel. She seems fine to me besides a tremendous amount of her life being told she wasn’t which made her question her power.

      Change is a beautiful thing when it's done for the betterment of yourself and the caring and love you express to others. Even those you might not have understood or respected.

    I've been a mental health counselor for years now, and I'm so endlessly fascinated by the field. I have met several people like her, and one of the most heart breaking things to me is how ostracized mentally ill people are. So often deficits in social skills are misinterpreted as being unintelligent or dangerous, when it means so much to many of these clients just to have someone listen to what they have to say and lending them some credibility...

      In my state they punish people like that because it churns about 10 thou+ a week in the lockup. No kindness in therapy here. Its a sleazzzzzzy VERY LUCRATIVE illegal RACKET. Oil, fracking, mutilated crepes and toxic psychiatry in Oklahoma...makes this place famous.

    The moment where she goes silent and seems distressed and says "In my head I'm dead...my head goes up there, when I'm quiet..." is heartbreaking. You can tell she's struggling to make sense of a chaotic and terrifying internal experience that neither science nor society had words for.

      It always sounds to me like she's saying, "Is my head up there? Is my head up there? My head goes up/down when I'm quiet". It doesn't make any sense, but then it wouldn't. :-/

      Piastun I was sectioned under the mental health act for self harm, I have never had a history of psychosis. At the end of my visit I was psychotic but I hid it. It truly does make you insane talking to doctors who don't give a shit and never smile.

      She seems well adjusted but if anything she is off the scale introverted. She wants to be around people and wants the love and affection she gets from other people, but doesn't know how to interact with them.

      Adding to the analytical nature of the interviewer which is basically unnatural in the conversation he's creating. It's scrutinizing, and nobody would feel joy or enthusiasm responding to that.

    My Uncle had schizophrenia. He was Child like us, we grew up, he stayed as a kid at heart. He finds happiness in little things, loves watching movies, loves foood,laughs and talks to himself. He was very active and does daily household work.There was also downsides too. He loves us so much. But one day while crossing a street accident happened and we lost him. We miss him everyday.
    I know he will be watching us from heaven.
