I think the key here to understanding schizophrenia is that when an episode is happening, the person no longer reacts logically: the shizophenia guides their experience.

Thinking that there's people spying on you, for example, does not make any sense. But when going through a schizophrenic episode, such logic does not happen and the schizophrenia keeps things going.

People don't understand this.

My only real issue with the movie is.. the mom/friend whatever yells into the phone "IT'S THE RAIN!" talking about the weather.
She comes in and starts talking about that, including saying "I was shouting 'IT'S THE RAIN'".. but it's a beautiful day outside?

Absolutely they can. I may have worded that wrong. The point I was trying to make is the schizophrenia is one of the rare mental health disorders where medication is really the only treatment that is really effective. Whereas other mental health disorders such as bi-polar, depression, etc. can be addressed effectively with both a combination medication and/or counseling. Essentially, schizophrenia can't be addressed with only counseling unlike, say depression or anxiety (obviously depending on the severity of the case, of course).
I hope I wasn't too confusing with my explanation.

You don't think medications can help, say, bi-polar, depression or anxiety disorders?

As a psychotherapist, schizophrenia is a very tough condition to treat. No amount of therapy without proper medication can make a dent in the symptoms. It's one of the few mental health diagnoses where medication (anti-psychotics) really does help.

This was seriously eerie, my mother has chronic schizophrenia, she's been really proactive in medication and support the last few years but before that it was like living hell. She was rarely this calm but the pizza thing really hit a string, she used to have a conflicting decision where the only food we were allowed to eat was vegetarian pizza from Pizza Hut, however when the pizza arrived, it was indeed poisoned, the cure was she would absolutely douse it in Extra Virgin Olive Oil to "purify it".

Mental illness fucking sucks, great awareness video.

As a psychotherapist, I have made several dents in schizophrenia patients. Milton Erickson's success in denting a schizophrenia patient was to sit beside him on a park bench, mimicking the patient's every move and sound, until the patient was dented.

Usually when I mimic somebody's every move, it drives them crazy. Next time I'll just note that I'm doing it as a prophylactic for their potential schizophrenia.

There is no id/ego/superego conflict in your head. Freudian nonsense.
>> ^ctrlaltbleach:
So whats the difference between the whole Id, Ego, Superego conflict in your head and Schizophrenia? Doesn't everyone talk to themselves to some degree? When does it technically get to the Schizophrenia point?



He's right, it's in mine.

Great work! Truly, no sarcasm.

I must say, that that method takes a lot of patience, commitment, and attention to detail. I applaud any therapist willing to do this long term with his/her patient.
