Schizophrenia Episode on Camera

Hi I’m Michelle and I have Schizophrenia. I record schizophrenia psychosis episodes on a security camera that I have set up in my apartment. I do this to show people that schizophrenia episodes are often non-violent. I am seriously on my couch talking to myself. Not hurting anyone and not being dangerous. I might make angry faces….but I am still only sitting on my couch.

Here is a compilation of a few episode videos that I caught of myself on the security camera.

I created the company Schizophrenic.NYC Mental Health Clothing And Lifestyle Brand in 2016 to fight stigma and get people talking about mental health. It worked. People have become more and more open about mental health and the term ‘schizophrenic’ pretty much got destigmatised in the advocacy world and extended beyond.

I’m glad you viewed this video or follow me. I’m glad you read till this far.

That dog is a great indicator for determining if someone is actually there. ❤

You're very strong as a person, to be so open
publicly that's considered a disgrace in many cultures.

How do you know when the voice(s) are from a person and when it's from a hallucination?

Is she talking to what she believes is another person? I know a lot of people like this. Doesn't bother me like others.

Heart breaking to see this. So schizophrenia patients do see the people while talking to ?

[RainRain-qheg]

Dog: wake me up when you’re done w your imaginary friend

[christinaheagy]

During episodes were you aware of being recorded? Or just completely caught up in the hallucination?

[nugget]

Does someone with bipolar talk to himself?

[nurseandgod]

Can your episodes play on your fears? My mom has schizophrenia and sees mice she is terrified of mice.

Thanks for sharing.
I really hope you’re not vaping cannabis/thc though.
It’s been shown to make symptoms worse in those who have the illness.
