Schizophrenic Episode Simulation (Janssen's Mindstorm)

This video is designed by Janssen, a pharmaceutical company.

It is intended to bring more awareness to the mental condition of schizophrenia by allowing viewers to walk in the shoes of a schizophrenic person. This is a type of schizophrenia called paranoid schizophrenia and it is b/c this person neglected to take their medicine that the hallucinations are rather extreme, yet still accurately represented. I felt it would be beneficial to bring even greater awareness to this condition by putting the video on youtube. I hope you all enjoy it and learn something from it.

*Warning This video may be disturbing to some so if you feel any anxiety while watching it then stop watching it!*

What is this bullshit? I bet they got their symptom checklist from Wikipedia.

@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]

lmao this shits so fake, nothing what its like

[Dado75]

@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! ^_^

[LoverDino]

@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".

[Dado75]

@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.

I had an acid trip like this once

[Atlantean24]

Hmm.. my schizoaffective disorder / depressive type psychosis was much, much worse than this..

[Cinedragon]

Brrr, I'm afraid to watch it XD. Haven't even seen the first few seconds.

[illegalsmirf]

@IronicallyVague Cock and bollocks, have fun.

[IronicallyVague]

@johmedis - Like I said, enjoy...have fun

[johmedis]

@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.

Nonce.

[IronicallyVague]

@johmedis Sorry about that, I apologize..

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...

Enjoy

[johmedis]

@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.
