@@Isa-tw1ly the last time I had psychosis was because of PTSD. I too had all the symptoms! PTSD Psychosis in my opinion is worse than the others I've experienced because.... The reason your brain goes in psychosis is because your mind literally cannot handle what happened. I went in to psychosis because my ex husband tried killing me a long with some other huge stressers that was also traumatizing. I'm glad you got him help, go you! Try not to remind him of his habits or how he acted in his impaired mental state. it's embarrassing and it triggers the PTSD, at least it did for me. My family kept telling me how I acted, what I did etc. When someone is in psychosis or just got out recently it's a lot on the brain. Think of it as the most intense exercise you can and multiply by 3. That's what the brain is like during recovery. I smoke weed like mad and it helps. It helps those with PTSD by removing the huge intense memory and replaces em with not as bad memories. It's a life saver. I wish you and your family well and healthy lives!

See John Read's talks. Childhood & adult traumatic experiences contribute to people separating from reality.

Diagnosing psychotic illnesses in autism is really complicated, there's so much overlap in symptoms I often have a hard time to tell if its just my autism or if I'm getting psychotic again.

Thank you for taking the time to record these videos and bringing more knowledge to non-professionals and everyone affected by trauma. 💚

Not to worry! If you were actually going insane, you would not question the absolute reality of your perceptions, no matter how irrational or delusional your experience becomes.

Everything is energy, and therefore psychic attacks are very real. Who’s to say what matters and what doesn’t? The linearisation of the human causes more problems than it solves. We are not 3D beings, we are just having a physical experience right now. Life is but a dream and no one is truly in the position to tell someone that their experience is false. All is Mind.

Isn't psychosis a disorder in its own right? I had a few bouts of psychosis in 2012 I had a small bout years later but I'm sure the psychosis was caused by prescription drugs! And since I had the drug reduced I never had full blown psychosis yet!

Thanks for this

Can I have some of the symptoms of the Prodromal period without having an psychosis disorder? My mother has schizophrenia and I've been isolating, eating unhealthier, feeling depressed and anxious and smoking weed more.

my current psychiatrist does not think i have borderline personality disorder and she is tapering me off mirtazipene and starting risperidone in two weeks if my symtpoms of psychoses go away and i respond to that medication and my thoughts and paranoid thinking and eratic thinking go away, the neighbours in my street are talking about me, and i believe certain songs that comeon the radio are designed for me to listen too, when i get angry i scream and shout and go to my room to baracade myself in my room because its my way of defense system, im not very well at the moment i was doing fine for some days and i live with my parents in mid 60's and my dad is critical of me and puts me down, im staying safe in my room, god please help me i need to start new medication risperidone soon, im sorry everyone im personal on here i just dont know who to talk to , but i talk to god and my cat

I can suggest you to do physical training, eating well, spending time in nature, getting closer to god. I know it's hard but try to accept everything as a lesson, get in touch with your feelings. Wish you all the best, eventually the pain will go away. Cheers

I just recently experienced an episode. I was driving when two specific things triggered me. All of a sudden I had no idea why I was driving and where I was driving, was stuck in another reality. Voices told me I was communicating with the spiritual world and they were telling me about my future and past. Voices told me to pull over an enter a forest. As I got into the forest, I had no idea what I was doing there or where I was going. I was so confused. I managed to tell myself that if I go into the forest no one will ever find me. I then saw a tree but voices were telling me it’s a demon trying to kill me. I had a panic attack. Managed to put the gps on and drive home. Apparently I was 100 km away but had no idea how I got there. I’m trying to get therapy but they’re labelling me as a high risk client. I just recently lost my mom, have a lot of trauma and have past depression issues. Sick and tired of coping skills. I had a dream after this where they told me I need to get a puppy and it will help me stay grounded in reality.

Trauma is often one of the main causes of psychosis as well. All it takes is a gun to a person's head and bam 6 months later - full blown schizophrenia; due to genetics.

I died several times in various ways and I now don't feel much at all for this life.

You forgot to provide link to the papers you referred to in this video

As a close relative to a person with schizofrenia I wold like to say this about trauma and schizophrenia. There might be some patients that have had trauma but many bipolar or schizophrenic people may turn their emotions against the person they care most about. Due to anosognosia it is common that psychotic delustions includes trauma as a real event when it is not. As so many patience with psychosis suffers from anosognosia a denial of the cause of the hospitalization may be blamed on delusional traumas. This will make the data hard to analyze as this type of data is collected between the patient and the hospital.

I know my psychosis was caused by my trauma so I don’t think there’s any reason not to believe it’s the same for others.

Like, surely partially expressed forms are the only way most disorders could have evolved in the first place?

@@AvaMason1 it's psychosis because of the main symptoms related to narcissism which is permanent delusional thinking. Similar to someone with permanent psychosis or schizophrenia, the narcissist is unable to distinguish between fantasy reality and humane realities (emotional and compassionate empathy, morality, self awareness, remorse). That's why they act in antisocial manners, their narcissisticly psychotic sense of reality feels real to them and they cannot question it, that's just how they think. There's other similarities between narcissism and psychosis (also related to delusional thinking) - and that is word salad. Everybody knows the narcissistic word salad as well as some patients with schizophrenia, the way they connect contexts and meanings is disturbed by their thought processes. What's also not talked about a lot is that a narcissistic household can create most, if not all personality disorders. Crazy stuff.
