Schizophrenia explored through virtual reality

[SHQIPTARSOULJA]

marlboro=schizophrenia?

[Mrw0fflez]

thats weird...the cows that sit on benches normally wear fedoras...

[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.

[Dunthyon]

Also, your constant misspellings of words and improper use of grammar mechanics ha diminished any possibility of me believing you.

[davismc8]

@Dunthyon has**

[Dunthyon]

@davismc8 f*ck...

[Dunthyon]

Sadly, this is correct. Poor souls, thinking their "god" will save them. Not being an atheist here, but you understand what I mean.

[thefinallink1]

well i have been cured, its been 10 years and with no medications i have not had a relapes thanks to god and buddhism. You do not understand when you say it can be cured we have abilities that doctors dont understand and if told we would just get doped up and become a zombie i have published a book and run a sucessful business so you tell me?

[MrSindreee]

give it the game a gun and it will be like doom 3rd..

[thefinallink1]

hello i would like to introduce my self my name is mr phira chuon i suffer from schizophrenia for the last 13 years and have attempted suicde for many years what i am going to tell you is the truth there is a cure or help from schizophrenia i now run a non profit site weareblessedandunderuniversall­aw please join its free well as i tell you buddhism is the way treating the mind after all the diesease is within the mind please join up free and start meditation now many blessings believe in god

[Dunthyon]

@thefinallink1 religion doesnt cure any disorders. Schizophrenia is not curable. It is only able to be helped by a tad. Even medication, someone with the disorder will still have minor symptoms.

[ImSowwee]

@Dunthyon Unfortunately I think religion in many cases, compounds the issue.

[motus]

a moving dog is an oddity? cows at the bus stop? this racism has to end

[NutsandGuts]

If you didn't have Schizophrenia, this game just gave it to you....

[enrhoads]

hahahaha true

[pandaroo]

@Supercellar cigarettes are used as a means of bait. Telling them they will be rewarded with more nicotine for accomplishing the asked tasks.

[JavaSpitLava]

that game is scary

[chompteeth12345]

that sucked.... i dont understan how that makes you understand Schizophrenia

[JUGGY1234567]

lame



[godhatesyou5150]

anybody else here think that maybe, just maybe, schizophrenic people are just people that can see on a higher level, hence the elevated levels of the naturally occurring hallucinogen dimethyltryptamine that our brain so laboriously creates for "no reason"?

[Mubeen0072]

@godhatesyou5150 i don't think that way but I think that scientists have a wrong approach to Schizophrenia.They only focus on the physical aspects of the disease, that is for example they may claim that Schizophrenia is caused by a large amount of chemicals such as dopamine in the brain. On the contrary it may a consequence of sadness for instance. Thus, there treatments may be biased. Do you know what I mean? Do you share the same views?

[greeniem]

i like that jewish girls perky titts and her butt

[mickymousesbesty]

@greeniem no...just no

[greeniem]

@mickymousesbesty just say know?

[illegalsmirf]

@greeniem Hah me too! :D

[oceancolors93]

Why is there cigs being dropped into a marlboro box on the side?

[Kaaotikock]

that made me dizzy

[terratagONE]

The only way to test for mental illness/schizophrenia is to talk with psychiatrists an other mental health professionals.Silly test like this are a waste of time an money an mean nothing.

[MetallicRoses1]

mooing dog lol

[Supercellar]

whats up with the marlboro lights on the side

[grandmastersmith]

@Supercellar ....smoooooooookeee... you loooove ciiigaaarreeettess.....

[dopeymha]

@Supercellar LOL I read that people with schizofrenia tend to smoke more so maybe you click it everytime you felt the urge to smoke during the simulation

[Oriente7]

@Supercellar haha thats what i said

[MrXbrianx]

this is retarded, how do you know the person with scitzophrenia testing was having symptoms at that moment. I used to read messages on user names like in chat rooms and in couter strike source. I thought it was people sending me messages. but now that I know how foolish I am, I don't think that anymore. I am healthy right now.

[ArandurKing909]

Why else would they be failing?

[BiteHunter]

OMFG! That is like tripping twice!

[Altiego]

why is there a picture of molboro lights at the side?

[Nephalen]

they should crank up the graphics

[feedthewomb]

Their is a simple cure but it takes a group of doctors interested in the potential of controled hallucinations.

[LetsGo6009]

can you elaborate more on controlled hallucinations? any resources where I can find this? thank you in advance

[ComradePepper]

why is there a pack of cigs in the corner

[1coo1]

sponserd by malbro lol

[pamaspamas]

sponsors. death sponsorship. i don't think this game helps a "schitzo" either or that doctors have a flippin clue as to the pigeonholes they place people into.

[themagus187]

HAHAHAH!

[pamaspamas]

interesting. don't know about the pharma drugs, they seemed to mess my friends up even worse. i am wondering about the A.I. concept and VIRTUAL concept combined, at the moment. I don't see a mass population hooked up virtually to an A.I. central computer that intercepts and deligates pathways AS OF YET...it could have been here already perhaps. I figure NANOTECH will bypass this direction into a different domain.

keep feet on ground. head in sky.

[drizztman101]

that statement made no sense

[pamaspamas]

which one. i made many.

[drizztman101]

If there ever (and there will be) is a system complex enough to have AI, it would not be wasted on a virtual setup who's primary function is to present lifelike video. VR is just like a computer screen; and its kind of pointless to have a super intelligent monitor. Also, how will Nano tech make VR and AI redundant? Are you saying that Nanotech will make it easier to achieve those things. If so, I agree

[Blastnugget]

oh snap epic pwnage

[f3ngshui69]

red jewish flag ha ha

[teamuggy]

These are PEOPLE you are talking about.... please remember this.

[telewebservices]

No it is test subjects not human beings,

And it seems those subjects are becoming paranoid and sensitive to sounds and hard for them to concentrate.... because... well

maybe its because they are being treated like subjects? like lab mouses?

the narator is invited to be a test subject herself we are testing somethings that oh well, i cannot mention it here, some kids might be watching.

[ikonhart]

I guess the neuroleptics are the less of both evils...I agree with Ditch, you simply cannot break the thought and delusion process alone by the force of the will especially during severe and intense psychotic attacks...and I prefer not to think at all than being convinced that my wife is a nazi agent and my kids are luciferian puppets remotely controlled...

[medspatic777]

psychiatric drugs actually prmote suicides not prevent.. make you fat irritable and impotent without any libido. Please go to Yahoo and type in the search with the phrase "Horrible Truth About Psychiatric Drugs" and also do the search "Documented Proof Psychiatric Drugs Shorten Lifespan" to see information on psychiatric drugs that no psychiatrist will ever tell you.... Shocking and revealing..... Oh and be sure to include the quote marks around the phrase when doing the search....

[Ditch2012]

I'd rather be fat and impotent then see headless bird people budding from black mold growing in my apartment.

[uberwench7]

Several people have suggested I try Prozac but I have heard it can make you worse so I wouldn't go near it!

[jgholster]

a psychiatrist can help you monitor this. if you choose together that it may be a good choice for you, he/she can slowly introduce your body to it to prevent a severe reaction. really though, if your past your teens, you prob will be fine with intro

[jgholster]

it varies from person to person--as for side effects, that is why many people with mental health disorders will actually be taking more than one anti-psychotic or an additional med for anxiety

[igib2635]

Dont you know that Philip Morris sponsors schizophrenia research. Marlboros help to take the edge off.

[StrayIkon]

Whatever happend to VR?

[kasouyumi]

mmmmmmm wieners....:D

[carbonout]

why are there smokes on the right hand side

[godsend420]

yea i noticed that as well.

[concretewhole]

That still seems unclear how to open the door, I dont think they are four year olds or rats. Are they trying to find how they associate concepts to others, and how to tell a strong conceptual bond from a weaker one. It seems since most ppl, are from a society, the generalized values and oH sCrew tHis, Runnin' outta room, Them cigarettes had my attention there for a few sec..lol...How bout some research on their faith, watch out, if you weakin' it, and they are forced in the corner, they may snap

[sparksilence]

They left out the part about having your doctor lie to you, being forced on brain damaging drugs,being forgotten by your friends, being forbidden to feel emotion, being told by the media that you are a criminal, and having to lie to your employer when you are asked if there are any medical conditions that we should be aware of ?

[linfinster]

That IS terrible! I'm very sorry! Mental Illness really sucks!

[linfinster]

this was a reply to sparksilence, don't know why it wasn't under that comment ..

[yayaya24682]

@sparksilence yes the main stream media and scientists, including doctors dont realize or dont acknowledge that schizophrenia is something thats been around for thousands of years, those shamans and high priests didnt have a mental illness, they had higher functioning dna and an open pineal gland or "third eye".

[returnoftheramble3]

@sparksilence I feel no emotion, I am worried about the workplace, but I'm an enigma that people violate anyway, so I don't expect much difference. I don't think the drugs are damaging me anymore than the process. I've had to be better with them. The media ignored me, which pissed me off during my time to sink. It's okay; I plan on discovering something or something. The headaches are annoying.

[CyKoPathiK12]

@sparksilence part 1: I feel guilty in a lot of ways. I went to high school with a boy his name was Kurt. I hung out with him every day for 2 years. Very normal, fun kid. Its very sad but one day he just snapped. He got very weird. I didnt really understand it. He called my mother 2 months ago asking for me. She said he doesnt live here anymore kurt can i have your number. He hung up, called back that night, the next day, the day after, the day after that each time having the same conversation

[CyKoPathiK12]

@sparksilence part 2: asking for me. last month he murdered his mother and then stabbed himself several times in the neck. the day before it happened he called up another friend we hung out with day to day. it was heartbreaking. its like if i only had the chance to talk to him again maybe try to understand him he would not have done this unreal thing its so sad.. but at the same time its scary because its like how explosive and unpredictable is that?? his own mother?

[wwwtotalitaerde]

@sparksilence Either the shrink is lying or is right you diagnosing with an illness. If he is right and you deny this illness you lie to your boss. If the shrink is wrong and you do not tell your boss you are not lying.No one has the obligation to tell lies about himself.My brother Markus Bott had been tortured by the German BND which is the renamed GESTAPO during 5.5 years which I recorded on more than 450 hours of video.He was assassinated on11.7.09because of our homepage linked on my channel

[naru725]

@sparksilence I know what you mean..its like living in your own personal hell. I hate the voices and the visions, but theirs nothing I can do, they know my weaknesses.. I'm not taking meds they brainwash you, you dont get better, your just unaware of what their doing to you. So I know what you mean,.

[MrShushup]

@sparksilence i have brain dammage from prolixin and im fixing to sue theyre ass off btwy

[TehBlackJackz]

@sparksilence That's real deep.

*Cuddles*

[drinksomecherrywine]

Cigarettes in the bottom right hand corner. That's a health scoring system.

[carbonout]

lol why not a heart or bar graph , cigarettes??>

[nunezhit]

The smokes are there to distract. but yea i guess you could put anything there to distract someone but of course someone that smokes would be more prone to being distracted

[primal111]

what a wast of time...give them orgonite to cure them...

[j3ff86]

Hot ass alert at 0:14 seconds.

[tuckj902]

lol. : ) i love the marlboro pack on the side giving/taking away cigarettes as incentive or as a way to tell pt how s/he is doing. cigs are big time coping mechanism for indiv with schizophrenia.

[suicidalparrot]

wait the dog is the oddity? what about the chair or desk or whatever it is on the roof?

[TheRealBladeRunner]

Rockstar eat your hearts out.

[BornAtNight]

I want this game for xbox.

[cooltommyx]

ghetto grahpics....

[ourben]

n64 ftw!

[jimmybo1980]

whats the pack of marbros got to do with anything? see the pack on the right side of the screen during the maze?

[Magnulus]

That's fascinating! I wonder if they've made any research on why they enjoy smoking so much... Stress relief, I guess?

And why has a post from the video poster been marked as SPAM?! Silly people.

[eastaugh]

isn't that a bit of a generalisation (by the researchers)? People with schizophrenia may like to be calm (and most likely crave it) and cigarettes can help this.. surely promoting the use of cigarettes shouldn't be allowed in any context, for now, i think they should stick with chocolate or even healthy rewards.

perhaps some nicotine gum? cure two problems in one ;P

[linfinster]

LOL -promoting?? What is this going to be, a public television channel? A prerequisite Jr High School exam? Go fight that worthy and noble cause where it's NEEDED .. within the family unit reaching the people who form our youths minds ...

[linfinster]

this was a reply to Eastaugh .. don't know why it wasn't under that comment ..

[gandovli]

jimmybo1980: It is Hypnosis . Be careful!!

[dQuarters]

I was wondering the same thing.

[ScottishAtheist]

Why aren't all games now VR!? I was promised VR in my bedroom 10 bloody years ago lol!

[crash6871]

its all VR. everything.

[takineko]

Someone please get them better CGI artists. I'd be nauseous if I had to wear a helmet with that kind of movement and graphics going on.

[wongsmokesbong]

they should use yake.....or something. There are plenty of free eengines to use, don't see why they didn't use a premade one.

[nerdelicious5]

LOL, same here

[andopolis]

Crysis it aint. I've seen quake 1 mods that look better than that.

[b4skin]

Graphics don't grow on trees (unless you make them). Too bad all the bitchin ain't "workin'" 2 help, but at least suggestions (wongsmokesbong) are something positive anyhow. Yeah, more than I'm doin' I know.

[flydarling]

Interesting insight into schizophrenia. Cheers, Lesley

[narcoleptus]

This idea has a tremendous future in communicating the sensory realities not just of schizophrenia but any number of neurological conditions in a way that helps both the medical world and the public to understand better the problems faced by people locked in a neurological illness!

Hope the funds are there to develop the work.

[dafttool]

I wonder why they would choose to have a Marlboro cigarette icon on the side of the video. As people go through the doors, a cigarette pops up out the box. Strange.

[gnamp]

Yeah- I rather think that would more likely induce schizophrenia than help it.

[neelradhakrishnan]

Lol, vampire cows at the end. Interesting video though.

[teemuruskeepaa]

Lol, nice 3d-graphics team. 1st person shooters are not your best field. >;)

[neelradhakrishnan]

FPS with the VR would be pro.
