Psychiatry was developed before 1900 in Germany to get rid of people complaining.First use of directed energy weapons can be seen in psychiatric literature from 1908, see Psychiatrie->Zur Klinik der Narkolepsie on my homepage.After murdering oponents in ww2,Psychiatry was relaunched in´45 to persecute+silence concentration camp survivors.

Half the inmates are mad.The other half are secret service agents on training.
I don't like taking the meds. I take seroquel whenever I get a happy feeling that shouldn't be. I don't really have emotions any longer. I want them back. When I was psychotic, geodon made me worse. I saw cannibals. It also caused me to believe that people were implanting dreams into my head. Now people are in my head, but they're different.
right so you want to help schizophrenics, while you are schizophrenic? god fucking damnit people are so fucking smart these days i dont know what the fuck to think of this.
pills dont work. And don't spend money on therapists they dont help. The way im looking at it now is if you can get through it you will be way stronger of a person.
i'm an insomniac. This doesn't make anything better. It doesn't matter what they give me. I'm awake during the night & experience everything vivid then. The illness will make you flat & u'll have to think emotion, which will cuase ppl 2 not trust u. I can do the computer easily, but I can't stand to be around people. I'm also "lazy," and I try to explain that I can't move, and I hate sunrise for some reason. I'm "secretive" which really bothers ppl, and they pry into me, which causes anger
Positive symptoms are the ones you gain when you start devolping Schizophrenia, delusions and hallucinations, and negative features are the things you lose or regress in such as apathy I.e Loss of ability to care.
um.. i think sometthing fmight be a bit wrong with me i dont know i just dont know. idont have a lott of money howw do you get help i need help if youu dont havve a lot of money. someone please help mee.
In the realm of Psychology positive and negative does not mean good and bad necessarily. Two subclasses of symptoms of hallucinations are positive and negative, which have nothing to do with whether or not the auditory hallucinations one experiences with schizophrenia are "evil" ones or ones that tell you to go you are going to heaven. It simply refers to types of sypmptoms. Hallucinations and delusions belong to the positive symptoms class and alogia, apathy,etc. belong to the negative subclass
u seem lk a really nice person. n really strong...ehm..i hav a question: how does a person realize he or she has paranoid schizophrenia...? i mean what are the symptoms?
Positive symptoms voices in your head might be telling you good things like they love you or your going to heaven, negative symptoms these voices might be telling you they hate you or your going to hell.
im sorry but you are wrong, positive symptoms are delusions and seeing or hearing things that are not there, negative symptoms include apathy, anhedonia, alogia etc
Would you consider having an evil voice in your head that calls itself the devil and keeps telling you your about to die a positive symptom? I wouldn't.
im sure it wasnt a positive experience for you, but we are not talking about that, you ignorently post false information on the internet and everyone is now dumber after reading it
its really mature of you to insult ppl who disagree with you, i just corrected what you said about what schizophrenia is yet you call me dumb? lol your pathetic get rid of your computer
Lots of people forget about anhedonia as a negative symptom, not to be confused with depression or blunted emotions. If you have schizophrenia it's worth your while to consider if you have anhedonia. If you do, an antidepressant can treat it.
finding the right combination yeah, my psychiatrist is incompetent, i mean all of them, ive seen many of them. they didnt do much combination. i dont really consider what im taking right now as a combination. wellbutrin+risperdal. they should give more meds to combine.
it is important to find a psychiatrist that you trust and who cares and is competent...that is probably the most difficult part. hang in there!!! I'm so sorry I cannot help you! I wish I could. :( I'm always here to listen at least. I know it isn't much.
Hi Kristin. Personally, I think all psychiatrists are the same. I asked my psychiatrist why some people are on 2 antipsychotics and he said it's for those who hear voices. I think he doesnt wanna try many meds cause he fear they interact each other. I'm waiting for abilify and geodon t come in Canada and it might takes years.
Gah! I can't believe you guys can't get Ambilify and Geodon!!! How horrible! Actually, not all shrinks are the same. I have had bad ones and right now I have an excellent one. It makes a world of difference. I am on 2 antipsychotics for various reasons, but not for hearing voices, because I have never heard voices.
Ziprasidone (geodon) isn't licenced in the UK either. Aripiprazole (abilify) is though. However the UK and Canada have both licenced reboxetine (edronax) which isn't available in the USA. That's the medication I was talking about that helped my sleep. It's an antidepressant that works solely on norepinephrine (or noradrenaline as we call it in the UK). The differences between countries are so confusing!
I have to disagree with you that all psychiatrists are the same. I've had four: two good, for different reasons, and two bad, again for different reasons. I live in the UK and I think the Canadian health-care system has some things in common with ours. I asked my GP (family doctor) to send me to a different psychiatrist after I decided that the first psychiatrist wasn't helping me. I was kind of intimidated by the idea and it took me a while to work up the confidence.
(contd.) It turned out fine even when I ran into the first psychiatrist again as an inpatient.
I've moved house twice since then and got a good psychiatrist and now one I don't like. I'm going to change again but I haven't worked myself up to it yet. I completely agree with Kristin with how important it is to have a good psychiatrist which is why I've put myself through all of the above. It's difficult though and you have my sympathies. I hope things work out for you soon.
It's interesting for me as someone with bipolar disorder to hear about negative symptoms in schizophrenia. I think there is an overlap of these symptoms between the two illnesses. Not really surprising though.
I really sympathise about your sleep problems, Kristin. Up until my latest medication change I had the same problems and it seriously fucked with my life - more so than many of my other symptoms. I don't think many people appreciate that which compounds the problem imo.
Sorry about my language in that comment btw. I'm really sensitive about my sleep problems. My sleep improved when I started taking a new medication. I'm on an unusual combination but I think the insomnia side-effect is counteracting the excess sleeping from my illness and other medications. If you want the back-story then feel free to message me :-)
btw it is interesting to see the pictures when you said you looked not smiley. I kinda look the same and it is really troublesome, I wonder when I will get better like you, you look pretty fine right now. maybe when I'll reach my 30s?
Hi yoshi! are you taking any medications now? I know that the medications have helped me a lot. How old are you now? Perhaps things will improve like you said. :)
I am 19 years old. and yes i am taking meds. I've tried Remeron, Paxil, Effexor, Celexa, Zoloft, Seroquel, Zyprexa, and now im on wellbutrin 150mg and risperdal 6.5mg. and no, they are not helping at all. ive tried wellbutrin already with 2 psychiatrist before and risperdal too at 2mg.
they aren't helping at all? oh no! that is bad. I'm actually on both an old medicine and a newer medicine...haldol (old) and geodon (new)...the combo seems to help. sometimes it takes a while to find the right combo...when did you first start trying meds?
hey yoshi! hang in there. sometimes it takes many years to find the correct combination of medications. I would have to say that it took about 12 years for me. I know that sounds depressing, but you just have to keep working at it.
Negative symptoms are the most troublesome. I'd rather hallucinate than having those negative symptoms. The bad is that I have them all.Anhedonia,Avolition,Blunted Affect, Alogia,Apathy,Trouble Concentrating,Social Isolation.I have no positive symptoms, I only have idea of reference which is defined as: The belief that other people's statements or acts have special reference to oneself when in fact they do not.I'd rather feel sad than empty
i think the apathy and lack of motivation/sex drive is a side effect of the tablets, this also happens to me, but i know it is the tablets and not the illness that is causing it
Hope you feel better, Kristin. Thanks for doing this video. Do you know of an anti-anxiety medication that is non-narcotic? I can google, just wanted to know from the personal experience angle.
I'm pretty sure that the anti-anxiety med that I take is non-narcotic. It is called Buspar or Buspirone. There must be others out there, but I'm not sure of them. The Buspar also boosts the effects of the Zoloft that I take, so it helps with the anti-depressant effects. :)
Dont make videos at 4 am... problem solved.

Yeah the massive problem with those meds are that they can make you sleep for massive periods.
When I was on Seroquel for a bit i slept 48 hours in one go!
Personally I cannot live on that stuff, it makes my life unbearably difficult.
