I was born in the winter, and had my first episode at`17. This is the best video on schizophrenia I've seen.

Thank you! I am a psychologist and I found this video very useful and it was presented quite concisely.

We had a "nervous breakdown" with my daughter. For 30 days, we are doing all the medication. I'm not quick to say schizophrenia because college age. When I went to visit her in the hospital, almost every person coming out with her was of that age. I'm starting to think college is just so stressful, these kids are having episodes of well, detachment from home mixed in with tons of stress. I think maybe we need to rethink college and how those things are done in a college setting.

I am a medical doctor and Speech language pathologist...I found this video very beneficial and academic

[Channyable]

I like your video. A very clear and structured way of transfering information. And with interactive questions it's even better. But I would like for a slowet pace. Pauses between slides, where the slide is still shown giving the listener the opportunity to comsume the written information after focussing on the spoken verbal information. Pauses not too long gets the listener relaxed instead of focusing constantly affraid to miss a beat. This is my opinion anyway. Sorry for my english grammer for I am not a native speaker. Another reason to not necessarily slow things down but pace your speech.

[BeanDar]

I would argue that we just stop saying psychiatric disorders, and call it what it really is… a brain disorder.

[everlyneachieng]

A perfect lecture, well explained, I wouldn't trade it for anything

[samanthagabbidon]

Studies of schizophrenia where the body is deficient in b3, chlorine, omega 3.

[jqnpk]

Your videos are so professional and helpful.

[HepziB]

The thumbnail is perfect! Because my mom's face transformed just like this when she was diagnosed.

[beverlyanderson]

Dear Dr. please make more videos on bipolar 2 MDD, Persistent Depressive Disorder psychosis I would appreciate this

[cathleenkealey]

Excellent presentation. Concise and calm.

[Bibiznatch]

C reactive proteins are elevated in people with schizophrenia. Some type of inflammation going on for whatever reason, possibly a primary causation with schizophrenia being a secondary result.

[ceciliawangui]

Wonderful presentation and very informative. Thank you so much.

I thought I had schizophrenia, but I think I just drank too much coffee.

[caleuxx]

besides the delusions, halucinations and disorganized thoughts, to me the symptoms seem to overlap with cPTSD symptoms (withdrawal, etc.). George Simon wrote books about Covert aggression causing anxiety, fear and mistrust.

[Hammerzippy]

Is there any help for the people that suffer from these symptoms?
The medications seem to not work very well and have awful side effects.
When a large precentage of the people suffering from this are commiting suicide....
The current help isn't helping.

More needs to be done.
So many charities and funds gathered to find a cure for cancer. There needs to be more research done on Mental health.

This is very depressing.
I feel for anyone suffering from this. My uncle being one of them. He was told the trauma he endured during being in War is what gave him schizophrenia.
So this is something someone can catch or get? There has to be better help for all mental illness.

[ahmedmakbool]

Your way in speaking is very very gorgeous and fabulous, omg!

[interested-qd]

In 1992 a psychiatrist working in mental hospital stated on horizon a science programme on television that a person hearing voices was by definition psychotic and unable to lead an independent life. By that time I had been hearing voices for twenty years..I was living an independent life for the previous twelve years. People are different and responses vary.
Treatment has to progress .All I can say that compared to 1972 people talk about schizophrenia

[jonahmunene]

Excellent vivid descriptive lecture..thanks Daktari
