  • This is for everyone going through psychosis: Stay strong, you will be all right! You’re not alone. Contact someone to help you through this. I had drug induced psychosis from weed and DMT and i felt like i’ll never feel ok and my life is lost but it’s not. I am completely fine and happy right now after 2 months of recovery without medication. I am back to my normal life like nothing has happened. So have hope and patience and everything will be okay♥️♥️

    Going through this with a loved one whom I care for tremendously. This is the hardest thing I have yet to deal with and I have been through a lot in life. I feel the most important thing is that you as a “caretaker” if that is your role, understand the ONE going through this and educating yourself is paramount. I am just hoping that she becomes stable enough to actually accept help someday. There are going to be many challenges but I feel it is rewarding, knowing you were doing everything to help someone who needs it the most.

    I think this video can be of real help, especially to young people. The medical professionals in the video, all seemed compassionate & knowledgeable in their field.
  • Thank you for this. Wish I’d seen it earlier. I deliver a large amount of mental health training and I will signpost people towards this video to increase their awareness and understanding. Great to see a video like this put together so well!

    As a sufferer of bipolar two I often tell myself to ignore certain thoughts its the illness and irrelevant . Ignore and distract your self by focusing on a task or being observant of where one is for example .
  • Thank you to a great and understandable description Made easier to understand The lady's voice is very soothing. I luved with a sufferer of schizophrenia both confusing and misunderstood still But living in the kind of a sufferers hard Not that I'm martyr but there was no help. Also medication was never an option He believes he wasn't poorly I just wish the help was out there for him 😔

    Thank you I have forwarded the information on to the person who needs it. Excellent resource.
  • One of my favorite singers/ best-ish friends has been experiencing this for a while now unfortunately and it breaks my heart seeing him go through this 💔🥺 It’s so scary to see and my heart genuinely aches for him There are days where I myself have felt out of touch with reality and have felt like fake/ not myself, etc Currently I haven’t been feeling like myself due to my depression and bipolar 😕
  • Sorry all my comments but so grateful for the honest and most understanding videos x

    It's a shame that so few people have watched this video. We're lucky to have the NHS in this country, but too many British people are watching poor-quality videos about topics such as psychosis on YouTube.

    what is the real couse of mental ill ? How to overcome this and restore healthy mind 2022 thank you
  • Can you kindly provide a list of helpful link's to access on the subjects in your film? The last chapter with the voices really resonated as my bf is battling these as i write this. Sadly, they tell him awful thing's not just to and about him, but now, about me. So destructive&invasive these voices, he's convinced I'm lying about everything&can't be trusted - hence, can't be w me. Seeking Guidance.
