  • This video does give some information you won't hear again. "We don't know how these drugs work." <--- schizophrenia is still, over one hundred years later, the catch-all bin for experimental harmful treatments. Guinea pigs. Having taken some of those drugs, I can personally tell you that three weeks into treatment I would say just about anything to make the pain stop. The pills are more disabling than the illness.

  • that dumbass doctor doesnt realize that stress is physicaL!! if you can feel it than its physical!!!! stress destructs the brain eventually causing it to give up..!! hince the made up worlds that they can adapt too!!! this guys eyes are so closed..this doctor cant see the stress in that individuals life or anybody elses so how would he know!!??? but hey hes got money!! and a degree!! therefore hes right!!!..... not!! amazed that they have any say sometimes..

  • @RaymondLikesMen Sorry to insist, but "skhizein" is the Greek word for "split" or "cleave". "Phrenia" means "mental disorder" and it comes from "phren" which means "feelings" or "the mind".

  • Very real, negative symptoms can be tasted by people who suffer from depression. Think of physically losing the sense of pleasure. It is terrible and real.

  • Schizophrenia is a German word? That is sheer ignorance! It comes from ancient Greek.

  • I have similar video on my page. Do you have schizophrenia or depression? How can you tell?

  • As a psych major, I really appreciate this video. I am preparing for an exam, and of course, many of the points in this video are exactly what's on my review. Thanks for posting this and helping students learn in a more flexible way.

  • I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and know what its like to have a mind that NEVER shuts up, hearing things, seeing things, the difference is that I know they are not real and the pills dont do much to help. Its not fun at all to go through and the longer it goes on the worse it can get
