Check out my reaction to Bojack Horseman: • DOCTOR REACTS TO BOJAC...
It's a Sin reviews: • DOCTOR REACTS TO IT'S ...
This is another Doctor REACTS video watching a video from Anthony Padilla's channel where he spoke to two people with schizophrenia. We get the amazing lived experience perspective to hear what its like to live with one of the most common and serious mental illnesses that I treat. We learn about hallucinations, paranoia and get some really useful tips about coping with these symptoms and differentiating schizophrenia from other mental illnesses like DID or dissociative identity disorder.
I definitely want to check out more from his channel.
Let me know what you think and any other analysis or reaction videos you want me to check out.

Would love to see you do some more Anthony Padilla. His vids are very informative and respectful to the people he interviews
He seemed genuinely interested and respectful and I think it was great
Anthony Padilla has a ton of good ones I'd love to see your take on. He's done Bipolar Disorder, Maladaptive Daydreaming, PTSD, Kleptomania, ADHD, Autism, OCD, BPD, Agoraphobia, and of course as you know DID. I'd especially love to see your take on the ADHD one as someone with ADHD.
He also has a video that's with "psych ward survivors" who experienced mistreatment in the American system.
I'm Canadian and have had a family member who had to go to a psych ward in my hometown. I found the differences very shocking to hear about because according to my family member and from what I saw when visiting, the one in my hometown was very lovely. They had shared hospital rooms with big windows, lovely polite hospital staff, a really nice group area, and a nice garden to go for a walk in.
I'm surprised it took me this long to discover his channel as I thought this video was great.
I'd love a video on psych ward trauma
@@TheunissenC same. I've experienced some really bad things in psych wards myself. Which made me so anxious about them that I shyed away from for decades and an absolute chrisis was "needed" for me to give them a new chance two years ago.
I really apprichiate you talking about how autistic people want to be called autistic instead of "person with autism". To us. it sounds like "Person with gay". It's part of who we are.
"Person with gay" took me out
Agreed, as a disabled person, i really don't like to be called a 'person with a disability' like my disability is some tacked on thing and not literally a part of my bodymind.
Can someone clarify the difference between chronic/permanent traits that you "have" and those that are part of who you are? I'm not finding the distinction in myself, including negative or debilitating things.
@@GreeneyedApe if you take away something I 'have,' I will still be myself. You can take away my bipolar disorder, and I will not be essentially changed. If you take away something that I am, the core of who I am will be fundamentally altered. Autism falls into that second category for a lot of us. Even if it can be a disadvantage at times, we have always processed this world with an autistic brain (and most of those disadvantages are external).
I would not want to suddenly wake up with a neurotypical brain, but it would be great if my mental illness disappeared forever.
@@Deeply_Unhinged_Goblin Thank you for answering. I guess I don't have this concept of "the core of who I am". The things I'd want to lose forever still seem as much a part of me and the way I process the world as the things I'd want to keep forever.
I don't have schizophrenia, but I had psychotic depression, and your channel was actually one of the major things that helped me get over the shame I felt because of it. This group of mental illnesses is soo stigmatized, people who experience any kind of psychosis are not even seen as humans a lot of the times. Your channel was one of the first times I heard anyone talk about them as people, treat them with compassion and empathy instead of other them and fear them.
I wanted to say thank you so much. I went from hiding it from my therapist, to being able to talk about it casually with loved ones. Obviously, it was mostly thanks to my hard work to unlearn my internalized ableism, but you really helped me a lot during that journey. Love your channel 💓
You have no idea how much it means to be that my little videos have had that impact and I'm so pleased for you that its helped you take steps forward not only to getting help, but also to building understanding and support with loved ones.
That’s me! I am one of the people he interviewed! This is still one of my favorite interviews I’ve been apart of! Anthony was so great and kind!
I remember this video changing my perception of schizophrenia quite a bit.
I grew up with a schizophrenic mother and because of how she was, when I was made aware of her diagnosis as a kid, I just associated schizophrenia with all of her negative behavior and the way she treated me.
that way of thinking really stuck with me even when I got older, I found myself afraid of people upon learning they had schizophrenia because I thought they’d be like her.
Anthony’s video made me think about it more and realize how unfair my way of thinking was. x
his DID video is amazing.
I’ve loved Anthony for ages, but ever since his solo channel, he’s been really respectful to everyone he has on whilst still being a great interviewer.
Dated a guy with this illness briefly. He was very kind and intelligent, but insecure in a way I found a bit intimidating. It all made sense when he told me on our last date that he had schizophenia. I was happy for us to continue, but after some more talking we instead went our separate ways. I am glad I met him though, he was very wise.
Ohh this is interesting! He also has an episode on DID
and PTSD i think!
I absolutely love it when I get a notification saying you’ve posted. I’m starting gsce psychology next year (going into year 10) and I am really excited. I’ve always had a deep interest in psychology and have found your videos really interesting and educational. Thank you. Really. Thank you. ❤
Would love to see you check out Special Books by Special Kids. It's run by a former special ed teacher who travels around the US interviewing people with various disabilities, including mental illnesses. Recently he's done interviews with people with schizophrenia and bipolar 1 as well as a late-diagnosed autistic woman. The woman in this video, Cecilia, has also been interviewed by SBSK multiple times. The channel is a great tool for educating based on lived experience.
anthony's channel really is a gold mine for psychology topics. he is a great interviewer and always super respectful and openminded to everyone he brings on, you can tell he's really seeking to understand his guests' perspectives. i got mad respect for how he conducts his interviews and for helping to shed light on stigmatized mental illnesses, topics, and everything else besides, all from first-hand experiences. super excited to see more of your takes on his videos, you're gonna love em ❤
It was so amazing to see Anthony's growth from his goofy Smosh days to these mature, respectful, and yet still very entertaining interviews and yet still be able to hold onto his goofy side with his return to Smosh!
Your channel is amazing! I cannot believe it doesn't have more subscribers
100% of topic I love the yellow book(?) in the background that is hardcore judging. 😂
Can't unsee it 😂
Thanks for sharing your expertise! Very appreciated.
Love your videos and compassionate approach! Have you thought of reacting to a new film about a teenager with OCD and anxiety: "Turtles All The Way Down", based on the John Green novel?
I’d like to see you react to Anthony’s DID video too and hoping there is a BPD one
I would love to see you react to his video on DID.
Someone I know has schizophrenia. He is frequently in and out of the hospital. He cycles on and off his medication because whehe takes them, he feels so well he doesn't think he needs the medication. Sometimes he says the medication changes him too much and he doesn't like who he is on it. He usually self mediates with hard drugs. We've told him that If that helps him, we will accept that because we're happy he isn't suffering from the schizophrenia, but since we have a kid we can't hang out with someone who does hard drugs, and we encourage him to trust the doctors (which he is paranoid by). He has stabbed my ex sister in law.
Additionally, his dad was a minister and I believe he mentioned at one point his dad told him the hallucinations were spiritual gifts.
What is hard for families is advocacy. How do you advocate for a loved one when they refuse to take meds or get help?
It's incredibly hard. The feeling of helplessness can be all encompassing. All I can suggest is talking to your GP because its something we encounter a lot in psychiatry and are able to try and manage.
You can try accessing local disabled peoples' orgs. Many will have advocacy services. But in terms of making a person accept help... that's harder.
I’ve seen videos of that guy before. He really is funny, and he really changed my perception of what schizophrenia is. I used to think very few that had it could go and live independently, but now I see how people with this disorder learn to live with it and seek treatment to get positive outcomes.
Excellent job on this video! I learned so much
Love this! Would love to see you react to more of Anthony’s videos! Especially the DID one!
People obviously love him and know him from Smosh, but these videos he does are so amazing. I'd love to see you react to more of them, maybe the autism one? There's sooo many to choose from though!
Anthony has some amazing videos. Would love to see more of him on here.
My cousin has paranoid schizophrenia. What saved his life was my aunt finally gaining conservatorship. Now she has been able to get him to take his medication every day. It took years and those years were very scary because when he didn't take his medication he would go missing and end up homeless. Every time we would worry about him.
Since conservatorship he has been able to maintain a volunteer position and has a girlfriend.
It would be very cool to see a video about Schizoid Personality Disorder. I can't seem to find much information about it
Very interesting. Love this 🥰
id love to see you analyze his video about DID I feel like there's a lot to talk about with that episode in particular
13:46 it honestly is a very useful method. I do not have schizophrenia, but I have on very rare occasion, experienced hallucinations. Quite a few years ago now, my dad had left his phone down at our house and it rang quite a number of times. But long after he had left and taken his phone with him, I was hearing it ringing constantly. It felt so incredibly real. I was so distraught and stressed, I remember getting really frantic with my mom and begging her to find that phone because it was ringing nonstop for like two hours straight. Once I realized that no one else was hearing what I was hearing, I decided to pull out my phone and record a video to see if I could get the audio on a recording. When I played back the recording, there was absolutely no ringing.. it was complete silence, but even while listening to that video with no sounds, I was still hearing the ringing like it was actually happening around me. Using my phone was how I found out for the first time I was experiencing an auditory hallucination. I am so lucky to rarely experience them, but I can say from experience that it is terrifying.
Interesting to hear how high emotional arousal in others can exacerbate symptoms when you think about inpatient settings and how other patients and even staff will have high stress and unpredictable moods and behaviours.
This schizophrenia episode is particularly important after what happened in Sydney recently. It's really horrible, and has only fed into stigmatisation .
Loved the reaction
React to his multiple personalities video
I wonder if you put (with consent ) a person that has a psychosis and hallucinations in a scanner if the same parts of their brain are active when they hallucinate as are active when they see or hear something for real
V interesting idea but very hard to do in practice
I remember seeing an item on TV in the '80s which dramatised (used an actress to portray a patient with hallucinations) a case in which a woman who had some command of her hallucinations (she could prompt them to a limited degree) was hooked up to scalp electrodes and her visual cortex activity was monitored while she sat in front of a screen which displayed an alternating checkerboard pattern (with the black and white squares alternating) and was prompted to hallucinate her young child sitting in her lap. The visual cortex showed activity consistent with seeing something different from the black and white alternating checkerboard pattern (which produces a consistent and regular signal from which an irregular and complex stimulus could be differentiated), suggesting that her visual cortex was "responding" to her hallucinations. Unfortunately I can't remember much about it, beyond the details I have given here.
What about "Perception", which is on Disney+? I don't have Schizophrenia myself, I've got Autistic Spectrum Disorder though and, for some reason, I could related to the protagonist on a personal level. I enjoyed the series! 😊
You should react to a movie called “a silent voice” it’s about a boy who used to bully a deaf girl battling with depression and social anxiety while trying to make amends
I don't have language like "like person with a disability". The best way I heard why it made me uncomfortable because I should have to describe myself like that to remind you that I am a person. I know I am and that it isn't what defines me. The issue is why society needs a reminder of that so I'm glad autistic people let you know. Now some people may prefer that but whatever. I'm glad that channel covered schizophrenia by actually asking the people living with it it's one of the conditions that is rarely representation in mental health awareness
Would love to hear your thoughts about the DID video Anthony has done! It's great!
He's also done a video on OCD. I'd like to see you react to that.
I'm dealing with hallucinations right now that have been going on for maybe 2 weeks where Im seeing and feeling bugs and spiders crawl on me and fly across the room and run around. I haven't told my psychiatrist yet. I have bipolar, but I'm not in a mood episode...
You should watch the show "You're the Worst". It has a good representation of Depression, as far as I can say, and I've heard a pretty good representation of PTSD.
Yes yes yes yes
Please more 🙏
I would be interested to hear your thoughts and perspective on psychosis and psychotic disorders triggered by substance use in people with a family history of psychotic symptoms. my dad had his first hallucination when he was 10. I first started experiencing auditory hallucinations when I was 24, but they were so mild and infrequent that I chalked it up to stress. however, I heavily abused cannabis for several years, and then one day in 2022 I had a full blown psychotic episode with fixed paranoid delusions and very clear and intense auditory and visual hallucinations. this was the result of a single puff following a week tolerance break. since then, I've had two similar psychotic episodes which were initially triggered by psychedelics. can certain drugs effectively "unlock" psychosis in some individuals which may have otherwise been dormant or minimal?
About how many people are or will be affected by Schizophrenia, I agree that it seems higher than one may think (or whish). I guess it gets overlooked a lot, especially when those affected also struggle with substance abuse. So the schizophrenic symptoms might be written of as the effects of these substances alone, changing the perception of the illness in the general populations.
Having severe mental health issues myself and thus having been a patient in many psych wards makes me a little less surprised (edit: "OPEN" psych wards for context worth noting. Especially one patient with schizophrenia was moved to the "closed unit during my stay after an incident). I'm of course not sure how accurate this could be as a means of "measuring", but for example the last stays in a ward of about 40 patients, there allways were 1-2 presenting with schizophrenia (as far as I knew). Most patients had depression, substance abuse, burnout... But as I said, that's no accurate way to measure (especially not everyone is ready to share their diagnosis outside of group therapy and you never know if they tell the truth), just saying I met them on a regular basis. Rare condition in there (as far as I know): narcolepsia for example.
I come with a whole list...
About delusions, I guess I have the one or other in very specific topics, but my psych is great with it. He does not really tackle them, meaning he keeps telling me that he does not agree, but accepts that I can't quite believe him. At the same time he really really does try to understand my point of view, how it came to be, and what it means and leads to, and all of this without being judgemental. I can only imagine that being able to do this is not all easy. (I mean I myself can find it quite frustrating to be confronted with someone who believes in a very wrong thing (often scientific facts), yet all the evidence you can present get's ignored or they don't even let me elaborate it.)
I have a cousin who is schizophrenic. When I was in college there would be times when I was around him where he would be on his meds, and then other times when my inner dialog would want to say what's wrong with you (I never said this out loud as im not that insensitive a person to say this to someone with schizophrenia) and I would later learn he had went off his meds. I still cannot point out exactly what he was doing that would make me react this way. So I learned that if part of me wanted to say that to him, he was more than likely not on his meds. I also realize now how bad it is that I even thought the what's wrong with you.
Is there a way to ask someone with schizophrenia if they are taking their medications in a caring way?
Does it truly matter if they are or aren't?
I would love for you to watch the one on DID
I saw a few comments mentioning Anthony's DID interview and I kinda felt the need to point out... One of the interviewees has been in quite a lot of hot water; being accused of not actually having DID and making videos defending their partner, who was accused of some very serious crimes. I don't know what, if any, allegations are true but thought it was worth mentioning. It seems like that kind of thing that could potentially cause backlash.
Probably out of date now but what if he reacted to an episode of the Sopranos. It was also partly a show about mental health.
I can't remember what show it was, but I watched one person hold up a phone camera to another who was experiencing parasitosis & it actually helped, they could see that there was nothing moving under their skin. I've always wondered if that'd really work, for any sort of visual hallucinations. It doesn't work with mine, but I don't think mine are purely psychological, it's a lot to explain lol. I thought it'd probably be quite useless for schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder etc. if the person is experiencing delusions as well but I guess it really depends on the person.
I don't know if you would look into Games as well, but I can recommend "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice" and the second Game of this series "Senua's Saga: Hellblade"
You play as someone with Schizophrenia and depression. They are beautiful Games, that show a Journey of a broken Character, who went through a lot of Trauma in a beautiful and unique envirement
Could you please cover House MD Season 7, episode 12 "You Must Remember This"? It's a truly fascinating psychiatric case that I would love your thoughts on.
I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts on being trauma informed!
Wait I'm so confused, what happened to the Baby raindeer analysis series? Did they get taken down?
People were using his face in clips while talking about reception of the series, and he felt that this was over the line re: how he wants his work here on youtube to be received, so he took his videos down. He might put them back up when the buzz has died down
There was a post in the community section of the channel about this situation about two weeks ago, you can find it!
@@devyndday
Thanks for the info, I was trying to find it on the community post but I must've past it 😅
I respect his decision and find it very compassionate about the current situation around the show. I was just confused for a sec there 😅
@@chocobox1571 yeah, i totally agree with you! I was really looking forward to new baby reindeer videos, but this was definitely a necessary decision to make
@@crowspirit5154what do you mean “how he wants his videos to be recieved” , honestly asking. Like was he getting backlash ?
I'd love to see you react to healthy hamer GG 😍🥰
im writing a little "book"? or a comic(with drawings), its basically a little thing to help me seek treatment when possible, i'm writing my experiences and how i feel about the possibility of being schizophrenic, other than that there's a lot about my life there too. All of this because i'm uncapable of speaking about, i just can't talk functionaly for too longo, i start to stutter or i just feel like stop talking, i really dislike talking, but i wonder if can optate for a treatment with a professional that wouldn't demand of me to speak and actually accept the only way i believe to be capable of me of expressing what i feel emotionally and sensorial too..
the moment you said the things about feeling that the thoughts would feel like they were being broadcasted made me feel so relieved! i feel this way!!, i feel ppl can read my thoughts so i constatly control what i think because im ashamed of thinking the weird things i do, i feel also that my thoughts are constantly being broadcasted to anyone around me as if i was some sorta of tv/radio program!
and it sucks, cause i just cant feel like im free to think what i want for fear that someone will judge me for thinking what i want to!
and the worse part is that ppl actually sometimes act according to what i have thought and this just makes it so confusing like, when i think i would that a specific song played next in spotify and then it actually does?? or when i ask something in my mind and the person does it right after it!
how am i not supossed to believe in that if these things are constantly being validated my the exterior of my glass soul? i also just cant believe that anything is real, and that life is just a game
i really can't bring myself to believe that this is real and sometimes and rent free just stop, think and say to myself "wow, i so hard to believe that anything i do actually matters in this place?" like my friend and i were talking and then i turned and looked at her and she smiled and was waiting for me to look at her, and it felt so utterly weird? like, she's real? any of this is? the fact that she was really rooting for an answer broke me cause it made me automatically remember that i dont feel reality in life
I’m schizoaffective and have both inside and outside voices, I’m confused
Happy world schizophrenia day everyone. Doc, if you get a chance I'd love to hear your thoughts on my book (Fought Disorder).
Interesting to hear people living with schizophrenia clearly describe their positive symptoms, however, it must be stressed that these individuals are high functioning. Another video, which discusses lower functioning individuals, those who do not respond well (or at all) to antipsychotic medication, and, in particular, the more debilitating and less treatable negative symptoms, which severely impact their quality of life, would give a more balanced view of schizophrenia. Teaching the public about anosognosia would be helpful because of the lack of understanding of why patients stop taking their medication. Five stars for stressing not to label a person as a "schizophrenic".
What happened to baby reindeer? Am I tripping, I could’ve sworn he did a vid on it?
Just a suggestion regarding language - as someone studying to be a radiographer, while I understand sex and gender are separate and referring to people's sex can have relevance in medicine and healthcare, I think it's possible to talk about things like the age schozophrenia usually manifests without referring to men and women. AFAB and AMAB (assigned female/male at birth) express the point just as welll while being more inclusive.
Absolutely no hate for using gendered language, it's very built into the field and I recognise in some settings gender inclusive language may not be well received or understood but I feel for stuff like youtube it would be apreciated by those of us whose identity doesn't align with the gender assigned to us at birth. ❤
I had a psychiatrist recommend I get an exorcism. The belief is still out there even in educated circles.
Is there such thing as ‘treatment’ for narcissism?
Is that an iPad with a picture of Plane Jane on it? 😛
Hey, would you be willing to analyse Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice or better yet the brand new game Hellblade Senuas Saga? The sequel just came out yesterday.
The story is about a young Pict woman named Senua who journeys to the viking underworld to save the soul of her lover who was killed by raiders. The games are about psychosis and explain the fantasy elements. Theres a lot of horror stuff to them too.
The team is tiny and made such a high quality game and worked with real experts, clinicians and schizophrenics to craft the experience of psychosis wonderfully, and I think the game does an incredble job simulating it and bringing awareness to unsympathetic family members who didnt understand their loved ones struggles. Thats included in a lot of the testimonies Ive read about the game.
I was just watching TheRadBrad do a playthrough of the new game cause I cant run it sadly. But there are a lot of clips of both games you can react to, as well as the Ninja Theory game devs development diaries throughout the process. You get a lot of behind the scenes looks at how they achieved what they did.
The game is truly excellent and the sequel was sadly given no marketing despite being an amazing triumph in what is capable for video games, and how art can touch people and improve their understanding of stigmatized people.
Would love to see you react to it.
Also you gotta watch clips with headphones in, because they use a binaural mic to simulate auditory hallucinations.
I really love the first game. There are many moments that I really loved because they were so like my own experience with psychosis. I showed the game to a friend to explain what it was like to hear voices and see things.
I also loved how they consulted with people that have lived experience of psychosis and added their own ideas into the game.
Thanks for letting me know that the sequel is finally out.
Yeah there's a whole world of games about mental illness he could explore. There are also games like Depression Quest and Actual Sunlight which are both about depression.
He makes great videos and I would recommend a lot of his I spent a day with videos but as an autistic person myself I don’t recommend his episode on that. It already feels outdated and I guess all I’ll say is I’m not a big fan of that one.
