Schizophrenia Symptoms

How can you tell if you have schizophrenia? Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that impacts the way people think, feel, and behave. Some symptoms of schizophrenia are hallucinations, delusions, problems thinking clearly, and disorganized behavior. With the right diagnosis and treatment, many people with schizophrenia can live in their communities, have positive relationships, maintain employment, and continue to work towards their goals.

i hate the embarrassment of it, someone who goes through these symptoms on a daily basis is a hell of a lot stronger than the average person..

When I was 12 years old I started showing signs of psychosis. I would isolate from my friends and family. I would get angry easily. And heard my name being called and saw shadows. And had a hard time with school. I was hospitalized, and was diagnosed with psychosis nos (not otherwise specified) as I got older I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. I’m 20 now. I’m on medication that helps me.and I’m still learning how to deal with my hallucinations.

[jenniferwhite]

I've had a delusion of being a famous person a lot

[binkyfaith]

I always feel like people are out to get me, slander hearing my name repeatedly

[benquadinaros]

I'm sure people who have this condition don't want to be pitied. But man this must be awful and so hard sometimes.

[mallorybergerhofer]

I’m pretty sure this video is only meant for the logical thinker that knows what’s happening to them. I have found, people with schizophrenia don’t think they have it they won’t admit it and then they won’t take their medication because they don’t believe they need it. This video makes it seem like it’s so easy to deal with it but the people I know refused to take medication and swear there’s nothing wrong with them.

[Skitzblock]

I pray God keeps giving strength to all those living with this.

I recovered from severe schizophrenia without any medication. I ignored the hallucinations and refused to believe in them. I changed all of the habits of thought not believing what I was believing. I had to entirely reprogram my mind and way of thinking. I just retired from a high security airport job after working for 30 years. I not only beat the illness, I beat those who seek to treat the illness. The things that we do affect the way that we feel. If there is a problem with the mind, it could be from the choices that you make that result in the way that you feel. If you want to know how to treat the illness, talk to someone who beat it.

[timforti]

i feel like i might be schizophrenic but in true schizophrenic fashion i’m too afraid to talk about it with anyone because i don’t wanna get sent away because i’m a lot worse off than i feel

[ARRYN_SYN]

This video deserves more views. Amazingly explained.

[MobLifeTEEZ]

I have severe anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder) and I constantly have a this fear of going schizophrenic because my uncle has it. I always have this thing in my head where I think ima go schizophrenic at 24. And I constantly see the number 24. I hate it so much but can’t shake the feeling that much. It’s such a battle with myself and daily life. I just hope that I truly don’t have it .. I just don’t want to turn a certain age and lose my mind ..

[senseisapphire]

The first words got me instantly, i spoke to a picture on the back of my bedroom door for years help lol i need help

I have schizoaffective (bipolar type).
My first symptom, aside from depression, was when I was ages 10-12 and believed that I was a well-known figure in the community, despite my family just being a normal nuclear suburban family.
My second was in high school, the majority of which was the delusion that I was capable of pulling forces to overthrow the American government and position myself as the ruler of a new political entity.
My third was the onset of auditory hallucinations. The first was when I worked at a casual deli-style restaurant after high school, where I would sometimes hear a young girl speak to me, only ever in my left ear, whenever I was working the food prep stations.
My fourth was visual hallucinations. I would sometimes see what I believed to be mice running under furniture, including in my bedroom, and in the den of my dad's old house.
I admitted myself to the psychiatric hospital of a well-known, well-respected private university/hospital in the city I used to live four times in less than three years, and my ten-year anniversary of stability will be on the 20th of this month, April. Despite being well-medicated, I still have occasional symptoms, but none severe enough to warrant readmission.

This is a superb video because while being educational and showing schizophrenia as the severe illness it is (can be), the tone and animation show that those suffering from it are humans, like all of “us” that are affected by an illness. All mental health illnesses exist, meaning they are hard BUT normal (!) and the people suffering from them should be treated as such.

[joltjolt]

This can also be gaslighting. Be careful of the narcissists in your life.

[cccbeats_]

It's weird because I don't have hallucinations, but I definitely have Social Anxiety, and I struggle with organised speech.A lot of the symptoms of Schizophrenia are very similar to the symptoms of Aspergers Syndrome, but I don't have the main symptoms of Aspergers, which are, sensitivity to smells and loud sounds, but I have a lot of the other symptoms of both, Schizophrenia and Apsergers.If anyone feels the same way, I'd appreciate some advice.

Research has shown psilocybin to have potential to treat a range of psychiatric and behavioral disorders.

Hi.
I am from Kenya 🇰🇪 and last year(2020) October i was diagnosed with schizophrenia and I have been taking ZyPREXA Olanzapine tablets 💊💊💊 for a months. It started in the year 2018 where i was experiencing similar symptoms as the ones you've mentioned above. My very often symptom is having restless nights, nightmares, hallucinations, delusions and so forth. I have a lot to say but it's good to know that one can live normal and healthy with schizophrenia. Thanks for sharing 🙂❤️.

I have a close relative who has been very socially withdrawn since about age 15 (20 now), she has always seemed very flat and unexcited about anything since around that age, I’ve only seen her laugh when playing with my baby. Over the last few months her mind state has really deteriorated, she has been isolating herself even more, to the point that her mum has heard her talking and laughing to herself in a room with nobody else in it. She locked herself in her bedroom for 2 days last week and it was only when my mum realised she didn’t have to TV remote, and no charger for her phone that she realised she had been sitting there looking into a mirror for at least some of that time, saying things like “no I don’t want to, no I won’t!” Terribly, yesterday she tried to end it all, luckily enough she was found before it was over, she’s in the hospital now we are waiting for a diagnosis, from the reading I’ve done it sounds like schizophrenia she ticks some of the boxes. Is anyone much of an expert to say if it sounds right? Maybe an extreme form of depression? She is also quite distrusting of others. Heartbroken for her.

[Jesussaveme]

Wow this is was a very informative video. I recently was diagnosed with bipolar depression with schizophrenia. I didn’t really understand why all these years I have been feeling this way but now it all makes sense. I have always felt paranoid, high anxiety, socially awkward, reclusive, delusional to the point where I think everyone I date or interact want to take something from me and lastly the occasional hallucinations. Oh and sometimes I feel like things are crawling all over me, I really hate that. I’m just grateful to be getting the help I need.
