How to Identify Symptoms of Mental Illness in a Friend

[DaCoolKidFromCanada]

I'm 15 and have Avoidant Personality Disorder and OCD. Yeah, I'm screwed :/

[AlyssiaStrasbourg]

@DaCoolKidFromCanada Your not screwed at all, everyone has there own problems, just not everything has an exact name.

[kathysoiio]

@DaCoolKidFromCanada try not to talk like that about yourself!..you just need a medical treatment... try to stay optimistic and smile!8)!

[MrPropaMusic]

i hear voices in conversations when i lay down befor i got to sleep i could be laying there for a while does dat mean im crazy

[BleedingSunday]

id tap that

[ThyReturner]

Looks like that girl needs to stop watching her friend and take some time to get some sleep, because obviously with those deep bags under her eyes she's suffering from insomnia.

[SmileyBear29]

That video basically just described a regular teen: mood swings and stuff!

[beccabrown3]

I think I have a metal liiness.........Oh wait no I'm just like that normal

[BboyRamen698]

I have chronic depression. I'm 13.

[donkessmellgood]

I'm 14 and bipolar :-(

[Metayounis]

i think i have a mental illness..

[recepesek]

Alcohol or drugs interesting wel i live in amsterdam so Does weed count:P

[TheXxHELENxX]

I think I have a mental illness........

[GNRlova23]

These pictures just made me want to cut myself

[XRyanRevengeX]

its all a fucking theory dont let them fool you! Mental illness is a theory. They are right, people can share a certain behaviors but can they categorize the behaviors as different disorders? NO! It could be that the brain is becoming more ill as we get older! Longer you live life the more shit happens and you get depressed and withdraw from society and then when you emerge from social isolation you are paranoid about people, and you begin to hear voices... ect...

[XtremeGaming123]

@XRyanRevengeX screw off

[XRyanRevengeX]

WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO LIE CONSTANTLY! They are everywhere! I knew a kid who would make up stories about himself to carry on a conversation, and I'm pretty sure thats not a healthy thing to do, but no one ever mentions pathological liars. I think they are more fucked up than schizos or manics.

[XRyanRevengeX]

@xx2n23 Then you will get to keep your imaginary friends FOREVER!

[TimDoggyDog2010]

Yep, I knew it, I'm a wack job.

[AceHalford]

I have an anxiety problem and OCD doesn't mean I'm nuts, the theory is every human being has atleast 3 psychological minor probs

[subthischiz]

Mental Illness... bleh. I'm not ill just because I'm Bipolar. I'm just extremely emotional. I'm ill when I'm puking. ;)

[missyme1995]

I have anxiety disorder .. But that doesn't mean I'm mentally ill -_-

[thedevilwearsashirt]

its funny reading the comments bout the people who r all serious talking bout how their going through it and then right below their comment someones saying how they talk to their unicorn

[cccutie13]

oh my i was watching 20\20 it was little bit ago but this girl was stikotrfanic l but but the girl wanted to kill her mom! it was really sad

[freecounselingonline]

@BigbangVIPxr - There are no chemical imbalances- search youtube- and see the docs on it.

[freecounselingonline]

There is no such illness- its called pain and emotions how dumb

[AsterismLunatic]

This girl is such a creeper. What if you have ALL the mental illnesses? Do you turn into a psychotic mutant?

[DeadlikeaPixel]

Damnit. I think I'm Bipolar. :P

[kupalol123]

step 9: check yourself if you're just overreacting to your friends actions, you might be the one who needs help

[markfilipinia]

nice acting

[DayDreamSoldier]

HAHAHAHHAHAH if you watch this with the sound off it's about a chick with a lesbian stalker

[jackthelad101]

whats wrong with 1:25 to 1:30 shes only dancing. if everyone danced like that everyone might be a bit happier

[shineonme19]

this is what im going through =(but i dont have enough money to spend on sessions of going to a physician or psychologist or psychiatrist.I depend it to God. if whoever might read my post and might have the time im seeking for help. =(

[ObviouslyiDerpt]

@shineonme19 Well if you are depending on God to fix your problem you will be waiting an awfully long time.. Also if you want to speak to somebody go ahead and throw me a message when you have the chance. :)

[rizzlesizzledizzle]

@xx2n23 I can suggest to you to find out about the exercise on refferal programme, it will help you and you can find a class with other people who understand what you are going through.

[Wutsakumquat]

That friend is just all around crazy. I bet that she didn't even know the person in the grave.

[PNHassett]

Why did they have to throw in that part about creative people and bipolar patients? I'm studying art.

[zombieorgasam]

this is just depressing.

[TheRunescapefan3]

i tried this but my dad just yelled at me o3o

[VinkoRajic]

I can use telepathy, it works all the time and I can send and receive correct.

[bendito40]

i reli thought this was going to be funny...can u say disappointing

[CheeyyX3]

@demoness2oo9 I have all 3 of them. (Schizophrenia, Bipolar[Depression], And anxiety disorder.) I got diagnosed last year, I'm 14 now. :P

Everything has been getting better now that I'm not getting abused anymore, And have a new boyfriend that actually cares, So yeah[:

[gamerbiatch911]

 @gamerbiatch911....that's not funny! I have a mental illness!

[gamerbiatch911]

I have ALL those symptoms....should I go see a doctor? All my friends don't know their my friends? They just like to stare.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.....­.....okay what?

[jrdkitty]

OMFG IM LIKE THE FWEND BUT IM NOT DILISOUNAL

[hermeschbird]

who is this "friend" they are talking about?

[mezmaries]

I have bulimia, social phobia and im really depressed

[whereismymind1992]

the music is kinda bizarre

[hezekiahbiles]

This is a bit like a friendly ad in the tv in the 1940s in Europe [I know, IF there were tv then]:

How To Identify A Hiding Jew/Gypsy/Gay escaped POW. Escaped Slave. Draft dodger. Yute, Apache. Active child. Grouchy co-worker.

Fink Nation.

Sieg Heil.

God Bless Mereka!

[ToothpickMcBrainy]

@thesentinelonline

Oh I get it, you're angry because you have no friends to look at for symptoms of mental illness. This explains everything. No one in their right mind could befriend such a touchy sociopathic anti-science cunt. As to coming up with clever ad hominems-you are a scabrous, illiberal, shit-vomiting ass-munching child-raping giganigger with a side order if irrelevance and a face full of ugly. You're too lazy to invest in learning about the world. I pity you.

[ToothpickMcBrainy]

@thesentinelonline

Oh look everyone, a knee-jerk non-conformist rant by an ill-educated misanthropic fuckwit whose never even had the balls to shoot a policeman.

[NinetiesYouth]

If mental illness doesn't mean you're crazy, then what the fuck qualifies?

[hezekiahbiles]

@NinetiesYouth A vote usually suffices. Just a vote. How many makes a quorum in the Psych Meds industry? Two. Patient and white-coat. and the white coat wants his pay-cheque.

USA used to laud freedom. Now that is just a word for nothing left to loose.

[iminlov3]

the Study pretty much proves that a creative person is just someone who thinks more in ineffable terms. a group of "healthy people" is just a group of societal slaves.

[beyonddeathlake]

THATS ALOAD OF BULLCRAP

[ToothpickMcBrainy]

@beyonddeathlake

*A LOAD

[beyonddeathlake]

@ToothpickMcBrainy lolz XD thanks was just rushing the typing ^^

[Alf90100]

Maybe you should fuck off and let your friend be responsible for themselves without stalking them and accusing them of being "mentally ill."

[wwwtotalitaerde]

The whole concept of psychiatry was developed well before 1900 in Germany to get rid of people complaining.The first use of directed energy weapons can be recognized in psychiatric literature from 1908.You find it in chapter Psychiatrie-->Klinik der Narkolepsie on my homepage.During the NAZI time this concept was given up as Germany just murdered oponents.It was relaunched directly after the war to persecute and silence concentration camp survivors.It seems German snitchers persecute US citizens

[hikaratenmaneko]

this girl has all these symptoms...o gosh..

[damiata101]

2:18 lol, very realistic

[damiata101]

psychotic ways of thinking...

[damiata101]

really... careful observation= stalking

their not crazy they just treatment. ide be crazy too if someone was stalking me

[damiata101]

really... careful observation= stalking

their not crazy they just treatment.

[goateater1]

how to identify mental illness: ask everyone. observe. test them with a situation most people would react negatively to, the mental person will act positively!!

[pontpiggy]

This is the biggest load of bullshit.

[mauigirl000]

1:32 NIPPLES!

[kalashnikov662]

great. "so spy on your friends" as if i didnt have enough to worry about

[animalcrossing7]

Damn. I think I might be crazy

[b4567890]

[ecogirl1993]

[fun2bwith2day]

[DancingAmongZombies]

[crazywanch101]

[Keymikkel]

Holy crap! o.O I do atleast 5 of the things!...

[kylanmon]

crazy chick has nice nipples

[jogeryjogo]

my friend refused to eat my poop, so i called a mental hospital and told them she was crazy, they did a background check and everything to see if she was dangerous LOL.

[athsuka]

@jogeryjogo Omfg RofLMAOOOO

[BobLoblaw001]

My college roommate would start licking and sucking on my feet when he thought I was asleep. I think he was mentally ill but I never said anything because I had social anxiety.

[OS253]

Isn't social anxiety a form of mental illness? If you're normal, you wouldn't feel anxious or nervous around other people. I'm just saying....

[kylanmon]

@BobLoblaw001 :/ rly? lol

[killerdodo1234]

Lol I'm bipolar. I knew it myself, and told mom.

[LordHines420]

shes not crazy. she definitely needs to stop eating.....

[thethesaurus]

oh no. we're all friggin' crazy. the horror.

[8447michael]

i must really need help

[TheElectricDreamer93]

...so I should see a counsler.

[1MinuteFlipDoc]

[sushigirlxoxo]

[654ha123]

@sushigirlxoxo thats called OCD, ma'am

[animaxROB]

0:59 I love her hair

[solace00assassin]

so i have mood disorder, bipolar disorder, deep depression and anxiety disorder. what should i do?

[AVGN4EVR]

You know what? If my Magical talking Unicorn and the voice that tells me to do things say im okay, im okay.

[xxedarkangelxx]

@AVGN4EVR right on!!! who can really say what a "mental illness" is anyway

[dudette0911]

@AVGN4EVR agreed!

[WillyM79]

she's pretty hot for someone with a mental illness :-)

[DaSolidAce]

howcast i have bad new for u.... i think u might b the one with mental illness for making this damn video

[rachelgoesrawrr]

Appears i might have a Mental Illness :] lol

[Dimitris966]

Almost all of my friends have these symptoms. Are they all crazy or is it me who has the problem? Actually my inner voice has reassured me that I haven't got any problem, so I suppose that something is not right with my friends.

[TheZammit1994]

really?...................howc­ast us desparate for new topics lol

[AtomicKennen]

Two words: Lindsay Lohan.

[AlexaLuvs]

i have heard of anorexia and bolimia but what is nervosa?

[SkyMaro]

@AlexaLuvs anorexia nervosa is anorexia's full name.

[Flipapeeno]

@AlexaLuvs anorexia nervosa is one term

[PrincessSerenity3231]

@AlexaLuvs nervosa is just the technical medical term added to the end "Anorexia Nervosa" Bulima Nerovsa" are the actual names people just end to shorten them

[rpgzilla]

"Suffering from delusions"...what if my friend thinks the iPad is useful? Since it's clearly a misguided delusion, would that mean she has psychosis?

[Mazoodle]

@rpgzilla WIN!

[ClythiaMystica]

@rpgzilla The iPad is useful, smart ass.

[hezekiahbiles]

@rpgzilla Or if she likes to keep a spotless house. Or she doesn't like to step on a crack. Or she only opens her pack of smokes on the right side. Every time. And is upset if you open her smokes the wrong way. What to do if your friend is acting silly? Rat them to some psychist fraud? Inform the Mental Health Officials in your kraal? How many of the USA are going to be diagnosed [by filling out a questionnaire....] as mentally ill and drugged in one hundred years, everyone??????

[NatalieSpa]

@rpgzilla LOL!! It's called an opinion then:-)

[luckynumber58]

what if they cant stop watching stupid videos on youtube?

[illmisshimforever]

@luckynumber58 Takes all the chords out of the back of their computer and hide them. lol idk...

[sofiaxxxxxxxx]

[KableKiB420]

Step 3 concludes all religious believers are deluded.

This video is accurate.

[SmilingMiranda]

she has a tattoo that says "comfort eagle"

cake FTW

[yustsuki]

Ha ha! I like the "Do You Know?" fact at the end of this video! It's like how a lot of writers are a bit on the weird side or depressed.

[mysticality27]

someone call kesha!

[DunWannaTellMyName]

I actually found this useful! Haha maybe i'm crazy now!! Lol

[grim0008]

@DunWannaTellMyName well im fuked up beyound belief!

[mrmjordan]

I like the "Do You Know" info they provided at the end of each video..

[zx1011]

2:13 is just a good night in when theres fuck all on telly-i mean cmon!!!

[riley8797]

I have like half of those problems. This can't be good.

[Israel16180]

this video is hilarious. I'm sorry. Mental illness sucks but.....*snicker* howcast is funny. oooohhh I want to dance in a circle with my bakini on and then drink wine while the rabbits and the squiles dance in conga line.

[ranDUMBcomment]

1:25 is my favorite part.

[zx1011]

@ranDUMBcomment i think that might be just down to some really good lebanese-not mental illness lol

[MicoMonstrosity]

Howcast's way of silently telling us that we all have mental issues. lol

[yousefzoq]

if you see your friend watching this crappy video then she's crazy.

[Darky12351]

D: gah, this is making me think I'M crazy

[naviblue56]

I had that for 2 months my mom didnt even care

[Sarunas233]

[mogirules]

@Sarunas233 same, same

[Gregority]

Look at the mirror at 1:18 sooo creepy

[MicoMonstrosity]

@Gregority lol that was her hand but i see what you mistook it for.

[ItzbecauseIcan]

@Gregority 0.0

[tinyraskalG]

mental illness = needing sex? makes everyone feel better

[luddomatic]

any one need help ? i can help any one to get better ^^

[XxTechZonexX]

really sad @zacmac2 why do u laugh? this is bad...

[IntellectualConcepts]

my friend has mental illness. she cuts herself and doesn't eat.

[GuitarHeroOsbourne]

I guess my friend actually has a mental illness. I suspect he's Bi-Polar from the symptoms in the video.

[sexualgorgeous]

i have all the symptoms but i also have got a mother dying with terminal cancer and an oxygen tank,.

[OwensMusic1]

@sexualgorgeous I'm so sorry.

[zacmac2]

@sexualgorgeous  ha ha

[lilmisstashaxX]

@zacmac2 You're sick and wrong.

[zacmac2]

@lilmisstashaxX So is your face

[lilmisstashaxX]

@zacmac2 You're incredibly mature aren't you?

[zacmac2]

@lilmisstashaxX Yes I am ugly

[GamingTard]

@sexualgorgeous im sorry man

but you are strong

go to her and talk to her :)

[darkembassymusic]

@sexualgorgeous Its most likely temporary but do what the video says. Go see a psychiatrist. I've been violent since young and at age 15 underwent psychiatric treatment as part of my sentence. Now at 24 I know when and when not to react. Some violent tendencies here and there but that only lasts a few minutes at most. So I guess psychiatric treatment does help and hopefully it'll help you! :D

[chaja125]

Mental illness isn't funny.

[cc219Hmd]

Did anyone else find this video sad?lol

[WolfsPoet]

It's so sad how people make fun of mental illness

[ShuCh3n]

It calls emo!

[WolfsPoet]

@ShuCh3n And you are called an idiot

[ShuCh3n]

@WolfsPoet ye i love you too buddy, but dont cut yourself my friend :)

[WolfsPoet]

@ShuCh3n Learn how to type first before you call strangers "friends"

[xNikkaX3]

Sweet, I have a mental disorder. :D 1:25 is me. xD That's how I act.
