Symptoms in Schizophrenia - Documentary Film (1940s)

[FistedBlister]

don't let your mother breast feed your dogs... when people stare, they don't stare with amazement and awe. it is more like a hunger and desire for human flesh. I wonder what "Filet Human" tastes like...

it is not as bad as you think knowing peeople with schizophrenia... i work with client with mental disorders and all in all on a good day..they are like cognitive people accept they have a disorder they cannot ignore..it is very hard for themto adjust...very hard...unless they are on the right medication...too me they are just as wonderful as normal people...with the right compassion and guidance

After reading some of these comments, could someone please explain to me how is this suppose to contain creep or scare value? This vintage documentary struck me as MERELY a basic straight forward unadorned real demonstration of people trapped in an unfortunate state of mind (to make more understandable textbook material) that hinders them from functioning in compliance to the norms and standards of proper human conduct back in that day and seemingly to our present times. Maybe I'm comming down

@SwarthySkinnedOne

with a mental disorder that prevents me from seeing this interesting and informative documentary as scary as "Dawn of the Dead" or some other horror movie based upon some fiction Stephen King or Stephenie Meyer's wrote about for cheap easy money.

Then again, in afterthought, there is a saying that "Truth is stranger than fiction" and I guess this could accound why some of us commenters have found this vid spooky or a bit ghastly. Who knows. *sigh*

it's horrible the way they seems to be playing the people who have catatonic schizoprenia and echopraxia =(

i'm a psych student, and this is one of the extra resources we were assigned for further reading and research. knowing what each condition looks like makes it so much easier to remember for exam essays, so thanks for uploading.

on a side note, the masks do make it a little unsettling, but come on, people, everyone has their creepy moments. it's not like you don't creep yourself out every once in a while. cut them some slack. they can't control it - if they are even aware of it, that is.

To everyone saying, "it's so creepy" and everything, it's not. They're wearing masks to protect their identities, because our eyes are the most definitive feature in the recognition of other humans. Plus, they can't help doing the things they do. I battle with disorganised schizophrenia every day, and it's an interesting insight into how I look. Seriously, get over it- 1 in 100 people have a schizofreniform disorder. You walk past at least three every day and you don't know it.

I am so fucking ashamed such things happend and i feel so fucking annoyed these things still keep happening!

[vibravibra]

i had a schizophrenic brother who committed suicide. Watching this makes me feel for them.

[ghostman3331]

yeah this shits creepy man it looks like real old shit did these filmakers go as far as to put masks on the mentally ill in some old asylum the clothing looks era it kinda looks like they didnt care about them and they were considered sub human but the asylum was getting paid for the film time by the us government so the non paying patient didnt matter this may have all been staged at some psychiatry school back in the day as a school project for the government or school films of that time

[fluffy4000]

I feel like if I watch this all the way through, I'll be doomed to die in ten days or something. Amazingly creepy.

[TheBahaiGirl]

I have Catatonic Schizophrenia... and this gave me a better idea of what I look like when I get catatonic. Thanks for uploading

[MsLAB24]

makes me nervous

[MrWriter95]

the fact that it's old, black and white, and has no sound makes it 10x scarier

[cover821]

these are real schizophrenics, right?

[TheRASPUZIO]

@cover821 NO!!!!!!

[ilikeblondie]

Can I ask why they had covered their eyes?

[8bunnies4me]

@ilikeblondie I am guessing to protect their identity. If so, I think that they may have selected a more repsectful way to do it.
