The most humble description of the psychotic experience I have ever heard.
One of the best overview i have seen of psychotic patients, from the point of view of the clinician and also how the patient experiences the symptoms

The best cure is empathy, love, and understanding the patient. To be cured through the words.
What I think would be helpful for psychotic people to know is that all thoughts are fantasies, for all living humans. The mind creates the thoughts, but there is no thinker. The "I" thought is a machine that generates thoughts based on the way it learned to think in early childhood. When you can't fall asleep at night or meditate because the thoughts in the head won't stop appearing, is it you who is thinking them? No, because if they belonged to you, you would be able to stop thinking them or choose the ones you wanted to think. They appear in the mind, but they have no source. If they have no source, how could they be real? They're not, they're fantasies. Life becomes so much easier when one realizes this. Loved this interview.
Best description of psychosis I've heard.
8:25 so fascinating. My new favorite channel to binge as a psych undergrad

This was wildly wonderful. RD Laing vibes but without the alcoholism
