Something is wrong with this video.

I've played it twenty three times and, WHAT SYMPTOMS?



Hush, they'll hear you.

Thank you bmg for post this. 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.

In the hypothetical of this video, this person is very fortunate because s/he has a loving relative/friend who understands him/her and is helping him/her get by. Having that person there makes a huge difference. Isolation+schizophrenia=danger.

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?

Now I feel like a dick for dosing his coffee.

This reminds me of playing a Malkavian in Vampire the masquerade: Bloodlines.

Creepy.

Adding video to channels (Dark, Fear) - requested by dystopianfuturetoday.

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.

I suppose that depends on whether the voice in your head is yours or somebody elses.

Schizophrenia is a pretty terrifying disease. Probably of all the diseases one might have, physical or mental, that would be more or less the worst I can imagine.

Huh...

Much more confusing than I thought....

Yo! Mon! 23 times? This is what we call OCD. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder! Right guys? You! Me 3rd! Shut up, me 3rd!!!

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.

OK, who hid my pills?!?

There is no id/ego/superego conflict in your head. Freudian nonsense.

He's right, it's in mine.

Next thing he'll say is sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

I was taking pro-psychotics until I saw this...what a wake-up call!

Obama elected...should've used my mind to stop it...

There's a lot of video's on the Sift that one could argue are better to watch when you're high.

This is not one of them.

"The voices in my head have perfect diction!"

I watched it without the sound on and it seemed completely normal...until the food started moving.

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.

This video, and a few movies such as Spider (which we were shown during our psychiatry rotation) and Shutter Island depict mental illness fairly accurately.

If you want to delve into the world of the mentally unstable, I would recommend watching those two.

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.

I loved that "Oven Fresh Poizzon" box. a lot of attention to detail in this video.

Interesting. Hearing the voices, my response is, "Those voices are annoying as fuck, but I know they're not real and not dependable." Of course, I realize that a schizophrenic wouldn't be able to dismiss them so easily, and I'm sure their constant presence doesn't help.

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?

Thank you for sharing that. Wish I had seen it earlier - puts things into perspective for a family member of mine.

Do you really have time to read the 25th comment on this video? Especially when you're lazy and you sleep too much? Stop staring at me.

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.

I was left wondering if the time jumps are part of the "experience" or normal editing to indicate that much of the day went normally before symptoms started to appear.

I'm pretty sure it's normal to think "I don't remember anything I did in the last 20 minutes" every once in a while, but if it happened a lot I would really freak out.

If I heard voices like that in my head I'd surely spend all my time hitting my head and yelling "shut up!"...

...wait...

That's not normal?

Indeed, how many of us have seen individuals on the street performing this very same described action? I am skeptical of its efficacy.(Euphemism)

How many of us have been sleep deprived, intoxicated, stressed, emotional, and thereby suffered mental impairment? What conscious control were we able to manifest? How long would it take to "forget" it wasn't normal owing to the onus of these and other attendant symptoms? Would the voices not become referentially familiar?

When I was studying such things it was referred to as a perceptual disorder.

Would you notice? Or, when would you stop noticing perhaps? Or, talked out of it, internally?

The Watcher becomes impaired or impeded does it not?

Mmmm, Over Fresh Poizzon.

Too bad the video medium can't properly demonstrate tactile/olfactory hallucinations. That would REALLY be something else combined with what they've already done here.

I know this is a little late, but did anyone else notice that Siftbot has actually spoken?!!

Don't listen to ^him. He's trying to hurt you.

I don't know what you're talking about.
You should get outside. It's a beautiful day.
