I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder in my early twenties and told I should never have children. I now have three wonderful sons aged 18, 20 & 21. 🙂

Thank you for all these videos. My wife have schizoffective disorder with bipolar symptoms too, and she was hospitalized twice last year. I have tried to learn as much I can about Schizoffective Disorder to help my wifey, and educate myself, your channel has helped me learn a lot, thank you again. My wife has been doing a lot better since she came home from the hospital last November:)

I love how deeply you share. It is a huge courageous gift. Blessings to you and yr family

[Twinkie]

I just got out of my 46th hospitalization in about a decade and I am traumatized. Thank you for making me feel less alone.

Mental illness or not the love and joy in your eyes looking at your children is something awe inspiring

[wendyrobison]

I noticed being younger it was alot easier to manage my mental illness symptoms but the older I get the more tired I get of managing mental illness symptoms. Hopefully you have better luck than I.

Your video and your channel do matter for so many people: please, feel extremely proud of your accomplishments! With admiration and thankfulness from all your subscribers

The love you have in your life is contagious!! The connection between you and your family so wonderful to see. Great video Rob and Lauren! I couldn’t help but notice how often y’all smile. I like that.

I don’t have schizophrenia but I have severe panic and anxiety disorder. You give me so much hope in my own journey, as my life is a constant “what will my symptoms be today” battle. I’m also glad to know I’m not the only one who is constantly questioning my reality and the existence of people around me.

[Strobie_one]

You are an amazing person. As a non neurotypical myself I often struggle in my own ways. Seeing and hearing you put it all out here in your videos is inspirational and brave beyond words. I have the highest respect and admoriation for what you guys are doing, and how hard you work to educated. Thankyou all very much! I hope you have a fantastic week. We love you and we are all super proud of you. You're legend mate! All the best, from Australia

When I’m more stressed out, I hear music playing outside of my head. Like in another room or across the room. It’s made up music too and singing. I can’t make out any of the words. But it’s constant music playing and it never ends.

Sister, You know you are saving my family. I think there are many families like me whom you are saving . Noone on this earth are make us to understand this . You are like goddess for others. Because if we understand this more clearly, then we know how to behave with the family members who has this problem. Thanks you sister.

I’m so thankful for this channel. My brother has schizophrenia and my oldest son. My brother has a beautiful family and is doing well and has been for a long time. He’s started shots at 23, he’s now 47. Knowing him before the symptoms kicked in he’s probably 95%. Like who he was before. He still has a bit of paranoia and some racing thoughts, but he manages it like a trouper. He still sometimes tries to convince me he doesn’t need the shots anymore.Lol. I just smile and say, “it just means your medicine is working. Remember how bad it was? Then he pauses to think about it. I’m sharing this to give people out there hope. It possible to lead a very happy life and have schizophrenia. My son has come out from the depths of psychosis and is doing so much better. He’s been on shots for nearly a year. The injections helped him so much. A good psychiatrist and the right meds make a giant help in the battle. Keep up the great work Lauren. You and your husband are making a difference in so many lives.❤️😊

I love your videos. My brother has schizophrenia and I have always wondered what his inside life was like. Unfortunately he is very severely impacted and so he has never had a job, a child or a partner. I am so fortunate however that now, finally, he has 24 hr care and he is living the best life he can. He is an artist, has a flatmate and a dog called 'Ellie'.

What I think is incredible is the way you share the positivity of your journey. I have many friends who had parents who almost certainly had schizoaffective disorder, however it was never diagnosed and treated. Hence their childhoods were incredibly difficult and secretive.

You are doing so much to take away the stigma of mental illness and letting people know that it is an illness like anything else that needs to be managed daily. You should be so proud of what you are doing, your honesty and clearly your commitment to making the world a better place. Thank you to you and your partner.

[john-brady]

This video VERY MUCH matters Lauren. Many thanks for your candor and you courage...

[crmn_hwr]

Your videos do matter!! I love them, they are so interesting and educating:3

I have ADHD and I never don’t have a song playing in my head, unless I’m in a severe depressive episode - for some reason it’s not as persistent then. It’s pretty much 24/7, I can even change up the song sometimes lol. My head is basically a radio station.

[moono]

I can feel what you're experiencing as my wife has schizoaffective bipolar, I hope she can reach to a similar stable stage where she can handle it with the brave you do

[outofthebox]

The struggle is real such inspiration for others.
