I have Schizo and the only thing that Will help us Who have this is freedom. The clothes we wear, being inside. Words especially Words fk with our heads,. Traumatic expériences but like its all linked to everything. Sounds. Its like being hyponotized 24/7 in autopilot unless im outside doing meditation & when i Do méditation,its like I see the world for what IT is no Words just surroundedby trees, natural things & suddenly im mentally free. They call this mental illness but IT was created and its still going but its everything around. The material. And its getting worse everyday. I just need the courage to drop IT all and live naturally. The first time I had this intense meditation where suddenly i was out of m'y body and i could feel everything around me and m'y intuition just told me likethe physical world is and illusion.i couldnt deny what i was seeing. IT was too strong. M'y thoughts were haunting me at first until i went outside and the trees were suddenly Alive and its like I could communicate telepathicaly and i could feel the energy Everywhere going Up and down my spine. That experienced changed the way i see everything and im mostly certain that humains can naturaly communicate telepathicaly and that words were invented with the purpose of taking that away from us and adapting . Its not a human évolution. Its a d'évolution. Not only that when the out of body expériences happened. I remembered everything about being born. And IT all just clicked. Knowledge is a rumor until its Lived in the body

@@Psych369 yeah interesting insights, I have struggled with similar over sensitivty for a long time. It is likely that many with such 'mental illness' are just sensitives and are struggling with the parts of the brain, intuition and awareness which is switched off in most other people, and yes words/labels/constructs totally distract from a more pure experience of life. I would consider taking up something like the Wim Hof method too, get in nature and develop more of a grounded foundation, even resistance training, martial arts, focus on developing the body more and get out of the mind. Breath work can be amazing though, it can help iron out a lot of the physical stress and even potentially resolve the over activity that is going on inside.

My daughter is a CNA who works for a home medical company. One of her clients had catatonic depression. This was the first time my daughter had ever had a mentally ill client, and it was by far her most difficult. She initially met her client while she was having a great response to her medication, but as time wore on she saw her wilt and disappear into herself just a little more every day, until she showed up one day to find her client in bed, staring off into the distance, with absolutely no response. It tore my daughter up to see this once- vibrant woman no longer responsive. She sat by her bed and talked to her, read to her, but never broke through. Her client was eventually institutionalized, and she never saw her again. My daughter grieved for her client. It was a tough initiation into psychiatric care. It takes a very special person to work in mental health.

I think this goes to show how mental illness sometimes can be just a mind/neurological/body phenomena and maybe it is retrainable by retraining the body, even just getting people relaxed properly and unstuck.

One of my best friends is a therapist and has worked in the field of mental health for years, including high acuity in-patient settings. She’s seen a lot, including witnessing a coworker being stabbed by a patient. She says the scariest thing she’s ever seen is catatonia. There was a resident who’s treatment gradually stopped working and his catatonia returned. She hadn’t seen him untreated, only knew him as a friendly, lively person. But slowly over days everything slowed down until he was essentially like a manikin. He completely stopped responding to stimuli and would remain in whatever position they placed him in. They only moved him for his care & safety. I don’t mean they posed him for their amusement by any means. But that was the most frightening thing she ever saw. To watch an lovely, outgoing man slowly disappear until he was completely locked in his body & totally aware of what was happening but unable to do anything about it. It really does sound terrifying

I remember my English teacher from my first year of high school, 1971. Angela Glover was her name. She was quite short with long, black hair, was very strikingly beautiful with a very shapely figure & used to wear very short mini dresses. I often wondered how I & all the other boys managed to concentrate enough to learn anything in her classes. However, she managed to keep order very well in class & made sure we all learned correct English. I owe my ability to structure sentences, to punctuate & to spell correctly to her.

I discovered Pika's channel years ago! She was attending medical school while posting. Ultimately, she had to stop posting because it got to be too much. She took great care and pride which showed in her channel. Glad others are seeing her work!

If you ever find an example of autistic catatonia, Id love to see a video on it. I have it, and haven't ever met anyone else like that in real life.

Thank you, Syl, I appreciated your commentary and was glad to learn about thought blocking and pupillary dilation in catatonia.

I had watched this video before but didn't know what to look for... commentary was very helpful!

On her outfit, I remember that time well, and this was considered a nice, daily wear dress.

I am a counselor in the US and these videos are very helpful. They will help me recognize things in my clients. I have always struggled with flat versus blunt affect.

It's interesting to see how different types of mental illness can have similar symptoms?? (Obvs I'm not a doctor) but I have Social Anxiety Disorder and before I was able to get a hold of it with medicine and therapy, I kind of did similar things? I was always convinced everyone was looking at me and judging me and I was so scared of being perceived negatively I would hyperfocus on every part of my body and make sure I was sitting/standing/walking "correctly" and it felt super forced. I would even refuse to speak in class even if I was called on I was just so panicked. Luckily I'm SO much better now and can do so many things I couldn't before (I even had to leave school for a while), but looking back on it now with more insight I can see how strange I must have come off. Thank god for mental health professionals, I'd be dead without them.

Aside from feeling like my skeleton wanted to leap out of my mouth and like there bugs all over me, I was having constant thoughts of hurting others or myself, and an agitated reaction to noise and presence other people. I got through it, but there were times I'd space out and come to in the process of doing something I didn't remember starting or want to do. That last part was probably the most scary.

Really interesting video please react more of these videos we learn from you a lot thanks for doing this keep it up

Thanks so much! I made one other one about Mania. I’ll try do more :D

God bless her , hope she is well now, in heaven or wherever she is. 🙏 I saw a homeless girl today that I believe had schizophrenia. She wouldn't respond to me. She was in the hot sun and wore winter clothes. It's summertime. I put some Gatorade and an umbrella for her to be protected from the sun by her feet. I hope she will be ok.

New subbie, and really enjoying these reactions.. Please keep doing them! 😁

Hi syl, can you explain a bit more about the nature of the illness and how it presents when you start a video. That would really help lay people to understand it better.

Your French skills are on point... I was impressed.

I like when you translate, so interrupt to your hearts content! 😂

The way she sits its as if she was a life sized barbie doll with built in articulation. The thought alone gives me the shivers my heart goes out to her.

I love your channel, I just discovered it. I actually would prefer if you paused the video more often to talk about what's going on. The pauses are actually helpful. 😊

I'm living in Sydney, diagnosed with DID. I'm studying psychology... I want to do theoretical research. The clip is rather short, we have to take it for granted that the diagnosis is correct considering the historical position of psychology/psychiatry at the time, but very interesting. I've seen a few of them, they are very interesting for educational purposes. Perhaps it's time a new series was done, with updated info.

God bless all. Grateful to understand as I'm 1/2 française. My heart sinks with respect to the horror and stigma etc. So many have endured.

Please, do more reactions to this old videos! Regards from Colombia, South America

i like this. thankyou for the explanation.

I can only imagine what it feels like to have thoughts from what feels like an external force and to not be able to trust in yourself or your own actions. It must be terrifying and intrusive all at once.

Please continue the videos

Good videos. I suggest checking audio levels on this and the other one with the piano guy. You are a little quiet and the video is loud. Thanks again

I wonder what eventually happened to her and whether she was able to live a somewhat normal life.

Hi, I wouldn't have noticed the thought blocks without you bringing them to my attention. What would you say is her prognosis considering the drugs avaialble at the time and the fact she has only been presenting for 3 weeks. Great channel btw, I've subscribed. 👍🏻

So it takes a lot more info and time to get a good assessment of all the prognostic factors. And it’s a hard thing to predict but based on her baseline level of functioning, short prodromes phase (I’m assuming) and the fact that she probably hasn’t trialled any antipsychotics I’d be cautiously optimistic. And thanks so much for the sub please feel free to request any vids

Omg thanks for the shout out :)

I'm currently reviewing for boards for Psychometrician, this is very helpful 🙏

Hello Doctor, I watched her interview previously and it had english subtitles. It would've been great to enable them during your reaction/brief analysis. Greetings!

Please do more of these reactions. Preferably the Bipolar ones. It allows us a view into the struggle these people deal with.

Excellent. Let's blow up Dr. Syl!

Been diagnosed with schizophrenia since 88 it stinks just stay on my meds was hard in the past now get montly injection been arrested numerous times because of my illnesses it seems the older I get I'm learning to deal with what,I have better control over my thoughts

Dr. Syl is a "Junior Medical Doctor?" A full explanation of that title and related practice experience would have been very useful. However, thank you for this quite brief commentary. I will view Dr. Elliot Carthy's review of this interview as well.

Thank you Dr.

Love the videos

I literally cried from how nice the interviewer sounds. Exhausting is right. It feels empty and meaningless what I have to say vs what they make me say. I cried cause it is down to how I never got rescued from my home and adopted and struggling with my health throughout the attention placed on this mental health concept makes me want a mom so bad cause mine can't be, but it's just dangerous to say that and not be adult enough. Not knowing anymore can take your life away in America today. It makes me wish I deserved that softerness still. Care is it's own alien but it's nice to hear and know someone did work like that.

Sir, also please tell us, how to differentiate between the scripted videos(where they are acting), and where they are treating real patients. Although, I am interested to see the both of the types, but still I'll know then.

She’s so lovely ❤️

Psychiatry question: I read a cataonia case report; they gave her courses of treatments (antidepressants and all). She had deteroration in self care and she started to become catatonic. The thing that seems to work for her was lorazepam; how does it help in catatonia?

Yea Benzos are the mainstay treatment of catatonia and a positive response to them actually supports the diagnosis. Not sure of why GABAergic meds help catatonia though - I'll ask my reg next week! Great question and thanks so much for the comment!

Doctor, have you ever read the book The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat? It is a 1985 book by neurologist Oliver Sacks describing the case histories of some of his patients. I read the small getting my master's degree in school psychology. I think you would find it interesting.

From a psych nurse you did an excellent job - very knowledgeable! Are you thinking of going into psychiatry?

This is invaluable to me as I am writing a book about my schizophrenic grandmother who was hospitalized in 1930's to 1970's.

I remember when I was taking an intro to psychology course my sister told me that a picture she took with her phone was moving + she heard a whispering sound next to her as the image was kind of moving. So that made me focus, and I gave her an example of the whispering, and she said "yes, yup, that's how it sounded like". It made me scared because when I was 16-17 I did have the same thing once, scary as hell (imagine you being alone in the hosue and suddenly you get scared then a sound next to your ear is like "Booo :)", like it knows that you're scared and it decides to freak you out for fun). But that was it. And I did become very very bad/ill after taking antidepressants. I'm 22 and in medical school and when I heard my sister saying what she said (she's 12 , so most likely it's the hormones kicking into high gear skewing things up a bit), I told her a one time thing is not a problem. But inside I was like "Oh no, I hope this thing is not running in the family; because it sucks". I did seek help (talking with a psychologist) because I was in a rut, and I was like "bluh" towards my academics, and careless towards things, not seeing the point of life (At one point I was like writing "Ok, I'm 22, give or take, I got about 50 years to live; that's too much" I was kind of feeling that since I'm suffering day by day, 50 years is like "hahahahaha; yeah right, it's just too much to handle". And I did hurt myself one night, I guess because I was focused on the anhedonia, I was trying to try and feel like I used to before. It felt for so long that I can't feel things fully, like I will not have a state of mind/mood through out the day; it was mostly flat and squeezed. Then was where I decided to talk to a psychologist. It did feel like antidepressants did scew me up a bit. But I'm starting to get out of the whole I was in, I'm kind of doing things more and such; talk therapy works...

Great to hear that the talking therapies are having a positive impact , I know they are a lot of hard work but definitely worth it. Good on you! I would only add that there are many antidepressants to choose from so if you had a bad experience with one, that doesn't necessarily mean the rest would have the same side effects. Thank you so much for sharing and commenting and wishing you a wonderful week.

I have seen this…..This Young Lady was very much able to say what she has been feeling she is almost like a Robot…. Someone in the Comments said she died 3 yrs after this…..So SAD…..

I think the comments saying she met a bad end are just people wanting to make others feel bad. I have read several such comments and they are all inconsistent. It's nonsense.

Was she starting the beginning of splitting into another personality? And was this due to her job? It seems her job caused her so much stress, (specifically her boss) that she started to feel like two different persons (the one at work and the one at home)? She's so young. And I'm so curious as to what her home life was like. My mom is 76 and a paranoid schizophrenic for 50+ years. Her disease started in her early 20's. So this really fascinates me.

I binge watched all of these during a covid lockdown, it was awesome 👌

Enjoyed your evaluation and personally I don't think there's an issue with the morality of it considering the age of the video. That was more for the uploader to make sure about. Good luck with the channel.
