God I Hope they Find a Cure!!! my grandma suffered her whole Life with this illness I miss her deeply she died in a. special home where she was Put into :'(
I love this!!! I wish my schizophrenia was this pleasant, my (paranoia is really lots more intense) the stuff I get is like blood tastes or smelling sh*t all the time,, like I wake up inside a box inside a box inside a box and then there is no way out if this was the blanket effects of the schizoeffective disorder I would call it a non-disorder but because of the bugs that bite me as I sleep *mind you sometime I can actually see these bugs too...* I say up and watch the mellow stuff on youtube:)
@h92o What you're describing is more along the lines of drug induced psychosis, psychosis associated with mania, or less commonly drug induced schizophrenia (as well as temporal lobe epilepsy). Those types of hallucinations aren't as common. (I suffer from schizophrenia too).
@littlebluepill0 well it has been 14 years since i touched a crack pipe but yes the schizoeffective - depressed diagnosis is more... intense since I am also recovery from things like it has been 6 years since i used a cigarette more or less 15 years since acid and 23 years since i smoked crystal meth... I count my clean time since the crack was put down.. but still suffer from all the side effects that were exasperated by drugs. I have been in therapy since age15 and now am 48.
This is exacly how it use to be for me when i was 18 now im 27 and i hardly notice the voices.after taking resperidon i never heard the voices telling me to kill myself or insulting me. after a month i stopped taking the drug and devoluped a new problem,emotional agony,but with self pshycology i im now getting better.with a good diet much work-out and female attention does the trick.
I've had lucid dreams that were almost exactly like this video. I once looked at a computer screen in a lucid dream and the words changed exactly like they did here.
Thank you very much for making this simulation. I experience 90% of these symptoms during my schizophrenic episode. I am sharing this with my family so they can understand me better. I am also recommending this to my Dr. so he can suggest this link to his other patients whose family may have a tough time understanding the nature of this disorder.
@emgrocks92 Which part? Where he was on the phone with her or where she even stated that she was yelling? Are you saying that it doesn't matter what you say to a schizophrenic because it will just get twisted anyway? I seriously doubt that he hallucinated that she said "I was yelling 'IT'S THE RAIN' on the phone!"
Hey guys. I'm battling from schizophrenia. I'm not asking for money or views or anything, but just for support and for people to hear me out. My psychiatrist said to let people know about your problem, but everyone thinks I'm weird and my family cannot understand or take me seriously. I made a blog about my problems, and I hope we can talk on there. My blog is battlingschizophrenia.blogspot.com . Fellow schizophrenics, you should also come. We can fight the battle together.
@malakaki111 - Actually, the extremely close resemblance of the voices to GLaDOS is what scared me most about this.
I don't know if you've read "Lab Rat" ( thinkwithportals(dot)com/comic/ )- fantastic comic. Anyway, it says Rattmann has schizophrenia, which is what led me to look up more info on the subject.
I try to imagine being one of the only survivors, trapped underground, frantically avoiding a monster that is the embodiment of your schizophrenic symptoms. It's terrifying.
i wish everyone close to a schizophrenic pacient was as sweet and kind as that woman, most people stare or point at you and call you ugly things, which, at least for me, worsens the symptoms, because they confirm what the voices tell me...
Hmmm...this is somewhat of a good video and somewhat not, this isnt actually what schizophrenia is like for most schizophrenics. Schizophrenics who receive intense visual hallucinations are of the minority of schizo's. And for a lot of schizophrenics who get audial hallucinations, this would be on the extreme end...maybe a really really bad episode of symptoms or a severe case of schizophrenia. I think the sentiment is there, but this video is actually very misleading at the same time.
@BournemouthVEVO hehe I love how everybody comments like they have the credentials of a psychiatrist or something >_< Please enlighten me as to how this is "bullshit" b/c I must be sadly misinformed :P

@LoverDino If this video is "nothing what its like" then apparently paranoid schizophrenics don't have any sort of hallucinations, paranoia or fear/frustration. You should definitely send your research in to be looked at ASAP; this is some groundbreaking stuff you're saying here, brah! ^_^
@Dado75 Oh no, I know schizophrenics have all those symptoms. But this video simulation is nothing what its like, the voices tend to be much more distorted, there are A LOT more visual hallucinations...this video has it too "clear cut".
@LoverDino Don't judge the video based on how the voices sound. It's hard to describe how something sounds (even more so how something smells), so imagine a schizophrenic describing to the film makers how something sounded to him. Instead the accuracy of the video lies in what the voices are saying (i.e. the content of what they say), not how they sound while saying it. Bad voice-acting doesn't render the video unsubstantiated. And visual hallucinations are FAR less occurring than auditory ones.
@Dado75 Don't get upset that everyone's harassing you over this video. Pretty simple to add distortion and whatnot to the voices, make it more realistic. This is NOT how Schizophrenia is to a Schizophrenic.
@johmedis - I'd imagine living with you or any other professional attention seeking troll is a better example of what it's like experiencing the symptoms then any film could ever portray.
@IronicallyVague Ooooooooooh, someone's touchy that they can't replicate a Schizophrenic experience. There are already people and studies ongoing that have better represented Schizophrenia than you did. And when people criticize their representation, I bet they don't get all defensive and take it personally, like you did, like a small child.
Hahaha. Like I said, don't get upset that everyone's telling you you can't portray Schizophrenia justice.
It just seemed like you were attacking the person for no reason who simply reposted this video & you were trolling for attention over a non issue
But it was after all pretty obvious the pharmaceutical company made the video (as that info is in the description) & I for one think it's most likely they at least did some research on the topic as it's a multi billion dollar industry..
but what do I know? You tell everyone what it's like...
@IronicallyVague Whoa, heaps of money invested in it. Well that proves me wrong. Things have never had lots of money involved and been a flop or a failure and it's not like corporations do things wrong ever.
@LoverDino - Actually no - very few schizophrenics report having visual delusions & that's more rare, the vast majority of us hear voices of course..
Personally I'd say this video was very accurate, it doesn't of course convey how someone's emotions are effected or how completely convinced someone can be that the delusions they are having are real...real enough to even make someone physically castrate themselves in some cases.
@LoverDino Not sure where you got your PhD. But, I would ask for a refund. Did you not pay attention at the begining of the video when they said the simulation was developed by reports from actual patients? Schizophrenia does not have a set amount of auditory or visual hallucinations. In fact, auditory hallucinations are more common than visual ones. Where do you idiots come up with this crap?
@LoverDino Also remember that not all schizophrenics run on the same average. What one of your schizophrenic acquaintances experiences is nothing like what another schizophrenic experiences.

The lady who comes home at the end does not have the ideal reaction...at least in my situation. She is high-pitched and talks too fast. She seems judgemental when mentioning the medicine. She throws the curtains open too suddenly and is bossy about going outside. People in my life react like this to me and it totally stresses me out more. I wish they could be calm, slow, and sympathetic. I wish there was a video that would educate them on how to do it right.
that weak lady voice takes all the value out of this...she's almost comical, but aside from her sucking so bad this is pretty much right on, in my experience
Thank you for this. I have someone close to me with this and tried to imagine what the go through, this has prolly as taken me as close as I will ever come to actually understanding what they see.
You have to wonder how much a little intellectual and skeptical rigor would help these schizophrenics out. These people are not aware that they have ORGANIC BRAINS - PHYSICAL ORGANS CAPABLE OF BREAKING DOWN!
The worst episode I had, had drugs involved...Was drunk and high out my mind and had a alcohol over dose(drunk two types of vodka and ate a lot of crappy food forcing my liver to detox the vodka)...I was sitting in my bed, about to get on my laptop. I seen my face on the black screen...I thought I was the anti-christ. I was TERRIFIED of myself. I went insane, started crying. I started walking around slowly and a voice in my head told me to kill my own mother because she ruined my life...
Then another voice spoke and said "NO! That's your mother! You have to kill your self to keep from doing that!"
The conflict in my mind made me go insane. Then I got sick and threw up, and passed out in the bathroom. I was scared of myself for the rest of that month. I feel normal now but it took me a while to recover. Before then I didn't take mental diseases serious. Schizophernia is similar to this but the feelings/thoughts you feel are so intense they can control you...
@CTOMIA I'm something of a catonic schizophenic but during that episode I went paranoid. As you get older it gets worse. So no I didn't recover in a sense where it's go.
{ATTENTION} THERE IS A CURE FOR SCHIZOPHRANIA, THE DRUG AMBIEN IS STILL FAIRLY NEW, AND AS OF NOW IS ONLY GIVEN TO INSOMNIA PATIENTS, BUT PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF HAVE BEEN USING AMBIEN WHEN NO OTHER DRUG WORKS. ITS A MIRACLE DRUG 5 TO 15 MG IN THE MORNING IN ABOUT 30 MIN AFTER TAKING IT, THE MIND WILL GO COMPLETELY SILENT FOR HOURS note a coffee will avoid sleep so you can stay awake as long as the pills running in your system PLEASE CLICK VOTE UP BUTTON SO ALL CAN VIEW THIS POST GOD BLESS
@tqb43 everyone has intuition, a voice inside their head which they use to think, the problem with schizophrenics is that their brain becomes confused and they sometimes feel like that voice is no longer their own, and it becomes constantly abusive and negative, like in this video. in very serious cases, they can even feel like the voices in their head are actually coming from outside, like a person in is in the room with them talking to them, when really there is no one there.
When you have a psychosis and experience voices, it's not "hearing it in your head" as everyone has, it's auditory hallucinations. The voices that talk and complain are experienced as real auditory voices, like a person is actually talking.
You hear the voices, as audio. As sound. They often sound like they are coming from your head, which is not the same as having an soundless "voice" for your thoughts like everyone has.
@helloamihere I can perfectly imagine one of my friends or family members talking to me, hearing their voices cystal clear. Likewise i can imagine a voice i haven't heard before.
Rumination and Hallucinations are two very different things.
I ruminate about things constantly, and make commentary about myself all the time. That's more a symptom of Anxiety Disorders like OCD etc than Psychotic Disorders like Schizophrenia.
Also, Schizophrenics often have delusions, like being persecuted by the government, or delusions of Grandeur(believing you're a superhero, or that you're God) and Thought Disorder. i.e. jumbled thoughts that manifest in fucked up speech.
@DemoticVEVO yeah you pretty much nailed it on the head. i had delusions like i thought i was jesus in the flesh and it was my job to save the world, thought the CIA/FBI/Cops were going after me and my family sold out to them to help capture me, could've sworn the house was bugged, i thought our house had dead people buried underneath that were tortured, was so paranoid that i thought everyone was talking about me in public, etc etc. i had tons of more disturbing thoughts but i'm over them
@doviewz Yes, yes, and yes. Reading the comments from people with schizophrenia on other videos this seems to be correct, in some cases worse. One person said they would hear things like the Portal 2 Ratman Ramblings, a video of this is on YouTube,.
@Trinexx360 You don't understand >_>. The "voices" were telling him that the "weather" was coming to get him. As in, it wasn't a person, but it was still "after him."
I have schizophrenia I see some weird shit everyday that ain't there and trust me it isn't fun at all i'm always freaked out bottom line schizophrenia sucks >.>
We watched this during our Psych class one day...I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown in front of everyone! Lol!
I'm sarcastic by nature but topics like this and actually experiencing (some not all) of what it's like to have this...It got me really sensitive....helpless...
It was awful, I applaud the people who have to go through this but happy that it can be treated
@AdamSewell Lol! It's not funny! You should've seen my class everyone was like holding themselves and going like "I wish they'd shut-up" or something or other, mean while I'm like covering my ears and like breathing....It was weird...and then when it was over, everyone was like "Wow"...
you know what i'd do after they called me stupid? i'd say fuck you. put on MTV. and let their programming melt away the schizophrenia along with the rest of my brain. i'd be way to stupid to process schizophrenia.
I don't understand...... If mental illnesses are bad, why tell people they have them, it only makes it worse. Meds reduce the feeling you can feel, your emotions, and then you can never really learn about life if you're on the drug all your life because you can't sense emotion, it sucks. People know how to adapt it is what we are made to do, but we can't adapt if we are never given a chance. Tons of great thinkers over the years but 100xs the population yet you never hear much about them,..why?
@fungames2 where the hell did you hear that meds reduce emotion? the purpose of them partially is actually to do the exact opposite and promote a stable neuro-chemical functionality, keeping in mind they don't work straight away..and it's not simple to adapt to a mental illness when IT is what is making you feel less, giving chronic head aches, anxiety, and making you scrutinize everything. it's stressful. "great thinking" isn't as wonderful as you think it is, get your fucking facts straight.
I found this very difficult to watch because that's what it's like when I also forget to take my meds. Brilliantly accurate interpretation of schizophrenia.
It's totally possible. I once read an account from a schizophrenic about how the voices he heard started out sounding like different people, but over time they merged into his own voice.
For those of us with suffering family members, this is not a laughing matter. Thank you for this video. Hopefully, some ppl will be sensitive to the plight of this insidious disability.
i was feeling uncomfortable and disturbed from watching this so i tried to signal my facilitator. it turns out youtube was playing a trick on me because there was no facilitator anywhere i could find. :'-(
There was a time when I was skeptical of the use of drugs for mental illness. Then I spent a week volunteering in a psychiatric hospital. Unless you have firsthand experience with severe mental illness, your opinion just isn't useful.
@saraha180 you're right, its intense, but it is also put out by the company with the most prescribed(and overprescribed) antipsychotic out there- risperdal. Which has destroyed a lot of people.
risperdal is somewhat bad but the one you should avoid by ALL costs is the one called zyprexa...9 months later (after use) i have some kinds of side effects still.. and i didnt use meds at all to get well, i lied my way out of the clinic and then stopped using, i wanted to do this on my own.. after 2-3 months without drugs away from the clinic i was "cured" . you dont need drugs. some cases you probably need but.. i made it ;)
What if we did a video just like this but with a normal persons thoughts? It would sound pretty crazy, too.
And who brushes their teeth and goes through their morning routine without thinking? That's bizarre. We are supposed to infer from hearing the birds singing etc...that the person is feeling good...because they are on their medication but...
Meds don't work like that. They take feelings and thoughts indiscriminantly-good and bad.
@xtreme0ninja You do realize that most people if not all hear themselves speak in their minds. A schizophrenic merely hears it louder or unbidden, but much of what all people do in their minds is not something we concsiously try to make happen.
My point is that it is about degree. Treating these things as if they are illnesses is dangerous. Acting as if they are somehow fundamentally different is dangerous because plenty of people have outlandish thought and i do mean hear voices (I don't)
@xtreme0ninja They don't need to be labelled with the ridiculous title of schizophrenia. If their experience turns ugly then that is a shame and they should have lots of therapy but drugs should not be the answer for most people. And for many people their experience of life is good and so they never get labelled as schizophrenic. Maybe they become an artist. Maybe they just enjoy their rich inner life. Or maybe they go through a bad period and then get through it.
@xtreme0ninja Also, hearing voices is not what defines schizophrenia and also when i said out outlandish thought i didn't mean just hearing voices i meant all kinds of things that could be thought of as being imaginative i guess and everything is in a person's head, anyway. Are we going to medicate having a brain?
As they say at the end of this there is no typical case of Schizophrenia, because there is no such thing as Schizophrenia. For that belief I will be accused of being a Schizophrenic. Gangstalking is the way the medical world (Pharma's pills, psyc industry, research and dev, NIMH etc) extort billions of dollars from YOU the taxpayers. This little secret is well known among those who participate in the Gangstalking or (dirty work) for their job is to keep the Schizophrenic diagnosis coming.
@jonal0808 So what do you call it when a person has visual and auditory hallucinations and hears voices in their heads that tell them they are worthless, and that they should do terrible things? People who need to be on meds just to maintain a normal sense of reality? Please enlighten me. I work with schizophrenic individuals on a daily basis, and you are either misinformed, or you should seriously consider consulting a mental health professional for a psychiatric evaluation.
Great, Now I'm all paranoid.. I was so sure he/I was going to see something freaky where her face would be when she went to open the blinds, and I was screaming at her in my head "DONT DO IT!!!" ... :p I'm a weirdo...
@Kesher293 - It's a little different with Demon voices, Can you imagine just trying to do even a simple thing like masturbate when three Demons are standing around you commenting " lean left, I can't see" or "Hurry up", the other "no slow down"..."what's he thinking about?"
That kinda thing will drive you crazy after awhile
Brrr, I'm afraid to watch it XD. Haven't even seen the first few seconds.

The lady who comes home at the end does not have the ideal reaction...at least in my situation. She is high-pitched and talks too fast. She seems judgemental when mentioning the medicine. She throws the curtains open too suddenly and is bossy about going outside. People in my life react like this to me and it totally stresses me out more. I wish they could be calm, slow, and sympathetic. I wish there was a video that would educate them on how to do it right.

The worst episode I had, had drugs involved...Was drunk and high out my mind and had a alcohol over dose(drunk two types of vodka and ate a lot of crappy food forcing my liver to detox the vodka)...I was sitting in my bed, about to get on my laptop. I seen my face on the black screen...I thought I was the anti-christ. I was TERRIFIED of myself. I went insane, started crying. I started walking around slowly and a voice in my head told me to kill my own mother because she ruined my life...
Trill104 2 months ago
Then another voice spoke and said "NO! That's your mother! You have to kill your self to keep from doing that!"
The conflict in my mind made me go insane. Then I got sick and threw up, and passed out in the bathroom. I was scared of myself for the rest of that month. I feel normal now but it took me a while to recover. Before then I didn't take mental diseases serious. Schizophernia is similar to this but the feelings/thoughts you feel are so intense they can control you...

tqb43 3 months ago
@tqb43 everyone has intuition, a voice inside their head which they use to think, the problem with schizophrenics is that their brain becomes confused and they sometimes feel like that voice is no longer their own, and it becomes constantly abusive and negative, like in this video. in very serious cases, they can even feel like the voices in their head are actually coming from outside, like a person in is in the room with them talking to them, when really there is no one there.
dieselboy87 2 months ago
When you have a psychosis and experience voices, it's not "hearing it in your head" as everyone has, it's auditory hallucinations. The voices that talk and complain are experienced as real auditory voices, like a person is actually talking.
You hear the voices, as audio. As sound. They often sound like they are coming from your head, which is not the same as having an soundless "voice" for your thoughts like everyone has.

@dadadaJOE
Rumination and Hallucinations are two very different things.
I ruminate about things constantly, and make commentary about myself all the time. That's more a symptom of Anxiety Disorders like OCD etc than Psychotic Disorders like Schizophrenia.
Also, Schizophrenics often have delusions, like being persecuted by the government, or delusions of Grandeur(believing you're a superhero, or that you're God) and Thought Disorder. i.e. jumbled thoughts that manifest in fucked up speech.

I don't understand...... If mental illnesses are bad, why tell people they have them, it only makes it worse. Meds reduce the feeling you can feel, your emotions, and then you can never really learn about life if you're on the drug all your life because you can't sense emotion, it sucks. People know how to adapt it is what we are made to do, but we can't adapt if we are never given a chance. Tons of great thinkers over the years but 100xs the population yet you never hear much about them,..why?

@fungames2 where the hell did you hear that meds reduce emotion? the purpose of them partially is actually to do the exact opposite and promote a stable neuro-chemical functionality, keeping in mind they don't work straight away..and it's not simple to adapt to a mental illness when IT is what is making you feel less, giving chronic head aches, anxiety, and making you scrutinize everything. it's stressful. "great thinking" isn't as wonderful as you think it is, get your fucking facts straight.

What if we did a video just like this but with a normal persons thoughts? It would sound pretty crazy, too.
And who brushes their teeth and goes through their morning routine without thinking? That's bizarre. We are supposed to infer from hearing the birds singing etc...that the person is feeling good...because they are on their medication but...
Meds don't work like that. They take feelings and thoughts indiscriminantly-good and bad.
Nice try, Jannsen.

xtreme0ninja 5 months ago
@xtreme0ninja You do realize that most people if not all hear themselves speak in their minds. A schizophrenic merely hears it louder or unbidden, but much of what all people do in their minds is not something we concsiously try to make happen.
My point is that it is about degree. Treating these things as if they are illnesses is dangerous. Acting as if they are somehow fundamentally different is dangerous because plenty of people have outlandish thought and i do mean hear voices (I don't)
myusername3331 5 months ago
@xtreme0ninja They don't need to be labelled with the ridiculous title of schizophrenia. If their experience turns ugly then that is a shame and they should have lots of therapy but drugs should not be the answer for most people. And for many people their experience of life is good and so they never get labelled as schizophrenic. Maybe they become an artist. Maybe they just enjoy their rich inner life. Or maybe they go through a bad period and then get through it.
myusername3331 5 months ago
@xtreme0ninja Also, hearing voices is not what defines schizophrenia and also when i said out outlandish thought i didn't mean just hearing voices i meant all kinds of things that could be thought of as being imaginative i guess and everything is in a person's head, anyway. Are we going to medicate having a brain?

People who need to be on meds just to maintain a normal sense of reality? Please enlighten me. I work with schizophrenic individuals on a daily basis, and you are either misinformed, or you should seriously consider consulting a mental health professional for a psychiatric evaluation.
