10 Common Mental Illnesses Crash Course
What is mental illness or mental disorder? According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, mental illness is defined as a condition that negatively affects a person's thinking, feeling or mood for a sustained period of time.

In this video, we cover 10 of the more common mental illnesses: Anxiety, Personality, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, PTSD, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Eating Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Schizophrenia or Psychotic Disorders.

Its hard to feel normal in a world that labels any mental illness as “crazy”
People have become way more supportive of mental illnesses and have more of an understanding of it nowadays. Have to edit my comment because people taking what I said the wrong way: all I was trying to say is its definitely a lot more talked about nowadays, especially on social media and the amount of people that come together about it and discuss their stories. I mean heck, we on a video about mentaI health. There are tons of videos, websites, apps etc which help educate and spread awareness. I never said it’s 100% completely better, obviously there are still a lot of countries that have stigma attached to it, but my point is that it’s definitely better than 70 years ago. Let’s just hope things can keep improving. 👍🏻
@@rebeccaeverett8957 yeah, exept my parent that thinks drepression is dumb and suicide stupid
@@moonhall Yeah, my parents are like that, too.
For me anything that against normality or eccentric WILL be labeled as crazy.all great personality and inventor are labeled crazy in or two episodes of their life.only their stupendous success muted the critics

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, I would like to give them a try but haven't found any legit grower to get it.
A lot of people have testified about this and I really want to give it a shot. I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels

Shrooms was the best trip I had. It was an amazing experience.

It’s actually kinda scary how many people are so unprepared for adulthood
Puberty? Yeah. Children aren't prepared mentally.
Very true. I'm 55 years old and it's painfully awkward to grow up at this age. Certainly well worth it though. I spent decades feeling sorry for myself, or blaming others for my troubles. Then decades of addiction. Enough is enough. My troubles are my own and that is fine. I'm on a roll and ranting... might as well finish strong. So, I take responsibility for my health and all that entails. I forgive my abusers and those who have done me wrong. I turned my life over to the Lord. I row, he steers . It keeps getting better. The work can be yucky at times but it's worth it. This channel is very helpful.
I am 23 y/o. Give me some advice
@@rifnasriff166 I would like to offer advice. Tell me about your friends and a little bit about you. It seems as though you are open minded and that is a great advantage.
@@afriendlyhermit1080 puberty is a process we go through between childhood and adulthood it doesn't show us how to be an adult ...
I was diagnosed with ASD not too long ago, and something about people calling it a "mental illness" makes me feel uneasy. I'm not "ill" because I simply have a genetic disorder that makes me interact with the world a little bit different than most. I don't need curing. I'm not suffering. Sure, my depression and anxiety make me mentally ill, but not autism. I've literally had people tell me they "hope a cure comes out soon". I DONT NEED IT! I am perfectly fine and I feel as though I would be a completely different person if I didn't have autism. Stop classifying autistic people as incapable or useless. (I'm not mad at psych2go at all. It's just something that kind of annoys me about society today and I want more people to know about it.)
I’d call Autism a disorder not an illness
@@goofball2228 agreed
As a autistic person I agree:(
It’s a spectrum though. You might not be suffering but Some do. My friends daughter is 39 and has lived in a home since she was 10 years old. She has severe autism and cannot talk or even walk properly. She’s spent most of her life screaming and banging her head and is unable to learn or function properly, she needs constant care and help to eat and wash and keep safe. If there was a cure she would definitely take it!
To put this argument to bed if you have any form of disorder like autism you are different to society wich in turn makes you ill and before you start on me i have asperjus syndrome so i am familiar with this as a problem. So in short if you are normal then you are fine if not you are ill acording to society.
i am autistic and i haven't met anyone who understands it, not even my closest friends get it. it makes everything harder, and i mean everything: eating, getting ready, showers, clothes, shopping, class, skincare, sleep, dating, friends, socialising, periods, body positivity, communicating with anyone at all. like sometimes i cant even explain how i feel, its just a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes, people shout and argue but i cant speak, I'm frozen with fear. often i wish i wasn't autistic, that i had a different quirk, like a rare eye colour or a cool skill. it does has positives, but most of the time their weighed out. so please, if you know someone who could be autistic or is, do not make their life any harder, their living life the hardest already.
Anxiety is like a demon dancing in our heart.
Adhd is like wanting to scoop your brain and tell it to shut up
Depression is like dementors that live inside the art We made a whole poet lmao

i rlly hate when people say stuff like "oh i have social anxiety im so shy uwu" bc as someone with diagnosed social anxiety its so much more than that and so frustrating to hear that.
Fr it hurts
How do you know? Did a doctor diagnose you? My doctor suggested I might have anxiety but she didn't push it or anything but I've suspected I've had anxiety or depression or something for a while and I'm not sure what to do
Being shy is not social anxiety,I have had social anxiety for a long time and it's much worse than being "shy"
@@rizzgod88 I know the difference between shy and feeling sick at the prospect of having to talk to a person.
I don't have social anxiety (well I don't think anyway) but I have multiple friends that do It hurts just to watch them go through it And it's kinda scary to witness too I wanna hug people with social anxiety but for a lot of people ik it'd make it worse so idk what to rlly do other than try to give them space and cover for them if anyone asks where they are So I do want to ask, any advice for helping someone with social anxiety?
I have OCD. it affects me daily. I use medication and enjoy my time with my family, which helps a lot. this video was such a comfort to me.. not only your voice is so soothing, but the message of you knowing EXACTLY what I'm going through, and revealing OCD isn't just being a cleaning obsessed person, but much more than that. thank you for opening our eyes that we're not alone in this world.

I am on the autism spectrum and it often makes me feel like an outcast because I’m different than others at school. Having anxiety, depression, and OCD and other mental disorders can really be stressful to experience, as I have experienced some of them before and still show symptoms. This video could be really helpful for some people and I appreciate it!
I am Autistic and I have to clarify this: Autism is a neurological condition, not a mental one. Our brains are wired differently. It can be made visual in an MRT scan.
Personality disorders and psychotic disorders including schizophrenia also share the same neurological condition: the brain is wired different. Having one or another doesn't make anyone less or more. Reason why, being congenital, acquired with time, developed, experienced temporarily... Are included on the DMS-V at least. (There's other manual also for diagnosis but I forgot the name right now, sorry for that) Whichever the condition we all need education, awareness, respect and treatment. 🙂
Yeah, I have adhd, and last I checked I’m preeeetty sure that my brain literally functions differently to everyone else
@@UrLocalNB_Aster it does, each one have different "wiring". Bit the cool thing about our minds is the plasticity of the brain to reprogram itself via therapy or experiences. Learning a language is a pretty nice example of how our brain can create new connections and keep them if they're used frequently.
Yeah I have Aspergers
@@MelB868 how would you describe you feel?

No.
My sister wanted to be a psychologist, and my mother always thought people without a healthy mind is those who acts like a feral and crazy. She also think the job is useless and the paying is not much for my sister to survive. We live in southeast asia and the mental health situation here is horrible, country people even jail a person who seems to "not acting normal", chain their feet and jailed in a very small cage from wood.
It's important to remember that you're not alone if you're feeling overwhelmed after watching this video. Seeking help is okay, whether it's through therapy, medication, or talking to a friend. The journey to healing can be challenging, but there is hope. Thanks to the creator for bringing attention to this significant issue by sharing their story.

I cannot express enough how much @Dr.healingstrain mushrooms have changed my life. I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for years and have tried countless medications and therapies, but nothing seemed to work. But as soon as I started taking the mushrooms, I immediately noticed a difference in my mood and overall well-being. The anxiety and depression symptoms I once faced on a daily basis have now become manageable. I highly recommend @Dr.healingstrain mushrooms to anyone looking for a natural, effective solution to improve their mental health.
Wow, that's fantastic to hear! Can you tell us a bit more about the product and how it has helped with your mental health? I've been looking for something that can give me some relief.
@@michaelsmith6306 if your someone who struggles with overthinking, dont bro. My first time was absolutely horrible, you think about EVERYTHING. Second time surrounded myself with good people and I was giggly and goofy, same as if you drank, better relief I suppose.
helloo I watched this video and I think I'm having ptsd from a fire alarm going off and I wanted to cry when I heard that I've been having alit if ptsd symptoms and I went to the comments and when I read your comment it made me smile and I've been told I say more than needed so I'm sorry for that but thank you for making me feel better about it :)
I'm begging now , please make a video on legal authorities that a minor can contact around the world to save the minor from his emotionally and physically abusive parents , please help me
What's wrong? Are your parents abusive? Can't you call 911 (or whatever the emergency/police number you have in your country)?
Pysch2Go doesn't care about your well-being, if you become better you'll no longer watch their videos. Hence why all they do is give information on mental health and not solution
@@Laiser they have actually helped me a lot with issues I've had. I guess it's different from your perspective, but that is very debateable.
@@Laiser Psych2Go is very helpful. Because you can learn more about the world of mental health. You can see symptoms for different mental illnesses to help you realise if you might have the particular mental illness. Psych2Go does care about us, and our well being. Besides, if you think that you would become better by not watching their videos, why are you watching it then?
I hope your okay. Iknow it migh be hard right now, but si know it will get better soon. Lots of love from finland!! ❤️❤️💖🇫🇮

uh, mad sad?
Hey, thanks for uploading this; it helped me learn about temporary psychosis, and help me realize that’s what happened to me when I was around 14 after taking a certain medicine, I pretty much became a temporary sociopath. I love your videos. It always helps me and helps me learn.
Behaviors and patterns of our illnesses very much touch on how our minds are impaired to what is around us. As well as being able to function within these disorders, and where our emotions cannot function normally because the whole mind frame has been attacked. Within the trigger of its element to think and react normally. This can also be felt through the whole embodiment. Treatment and diagnostic is referred and preferred for analysis.
*When you realize you’ve had severe anxiety your whole life-* But- Honestly I wish they taught us this in school. I feel like it could help us understand others more and helps other more in ways we didn’t know we could before.
Won’t teach us about mental health or self care but hey the mitochondria is the power house of the cell
I wish my ma would GET ME FUCKING DIAGNOSED
i had selective mutism as a kid and everyone thought i was a horrible person or a monster. i agree with you. teachers especially need to learn how to treat disabled students better. they were so mean about it. not even my parents told me about it so i was convinced that it was my fault and i am just horrible. i hate it and now i wanna kick parent and get new parent lol
school doesnt give a shit about anyone
Teaching about these in school would be really helpful. I realised that i might have social anxiety, but i am afraid to tell my parents, and without them i cant get checked out & theres always a corner of my brain thats says “no its just self pity, shut up and get back to work”. So yea idk what to do.
The online therapists that I've been talking to believe I might have PTSD because I've been having flashbacks, trouble with sleeping and a few other things. My parents aren't helping at all and my stepdad even sometimes tries to trigger my flashbacks. I can't wait to move out and find a therapist and try and find something to help me.
who the fuck tries to trigger flashbacks on purpose? thats not okay on any level.
I am so sorry for you
Hope everything will go well for you even before moving out Idk how terrible that can be Stay strong ❤
ChronicGrails that’s exactly my situation, except mine might be a little worse, i hate my dad, he’s controlling and abusive and he beat me once so hard and tore my shirt, i have a lot of flashbacks and i got anxiety, always afraid of him and listening to his voice or breathing triggers me as well, but i live in Egypt and you can’t really move out unless you get married and I’m only 17. I also don’t want to get married, but i might force myself to just to get away from here. Life’s hard for me.
Oh nooo! Here, here’s a hug 🤗 I hope your situation gets better
How is her voice so smoothing and calm it’s very beautiful and I really think this video is really helpful
As someone who has adhd you got them down splat! I had all the above five issues that you explained! Now I’m not on any meds..I tried getting back on after so many years of being off them but they just aren’t for me! But I don’t dislike myself for my adhd! I love that I’m out there..I hate the anxiety that comes with having adhd. But I also feel like I can be more of myself in a weird way..I hope to anyone with adhd such as myself can relate in a positive light! Your going to have your brain fog days. Days you get overly stressed and over whelmed..but you get through it! Be proud of that! Take each day by step! And that goes for anyone and everyone who struggles with any sort of disorder or mental flaw! Your ok! Your doing so good! Look at you and what you have accomplished today! Maybe you got out of bed after a few days! Maybe you coped with something using a method you had talked to a therapist about! Sometimes it really is the small things that make a big achievement! Maybe you kept focus and eye contact in a conversation! ❤ my bf has both adhd and autism..me and him are a chaotic duo! And we’ve learned how we both cope differently in situations..I hope whoever is reading this gets a smile on their face knowing that..they aren’t alone! Mental health is important! So take care of yourself even if it’s the best you can!
Being an introvert, depressed,lonely and still not have anyone close to you especially your parents is the worst thing I will live with my entire life😔
That's why I don't like hanging with introverts man they all like this.. There are so many reasons to be sad about but they are sad because of who they are.. Bro if u don't like yourself find what u don't like about you and change it.. YOU DON'T NEED FRIENDS BRUH YOUR BEST FRIEND SHOULD BE YOU.. START MEDITATING.. LET YOUR HIGHER SELF JUDGE U
@@motiveisdeathakamid2615 i agree but not with the first sentence not every introvert is sad and depressed so stop putting us all together
@@motiveisdeathakamid2615 that first sentence is rude and untrue. Not all introverts are sad and depressed. And depression is more than sadness. It’s a debilitating mental illness.
@@mariekitty MAAN i m sorry the first sentence wass bullshit.. my mistake for putting yall in the same box.. i dont believe in that introvert exrovert shit anymore we just people.. a friend told me its all about if you regenerate energy with people or alone.. we all wanna sleep with someone dont we? you dont like me putting u in boxes do you? why u putting yourself in them tho?
Same. At least my family understands me in a way. Maybe not completely but i get my alone time to recharge. 🔌📶🔋
Living with mental illness is hard. What makes it even harder is trying to act as if we are ok and "normal" all the time. If we had a broken bone or any physical illness we would talk freely about it. That makes me feel alone and i am glad for this videos because they make me feel like i am not alone
me too,,
Living with mental illness is very hard. I’ve lived with it most of my life. I took a genetic test and found out that I am missing a gene that processes folic acid which makes me unable to produce serotonin. I got a supplement and it has helped me along with the medication I take.
I’m not okay… never really have been… life is just too much.
@Itz Riyaaaaa you are never alone 🙏❤
And your comment may help others not feel alone . So. Thank you for being brave and sharing this
As someone who was recently disgnosed woth cptsd, i really understood the idea that it was a stress echo. not sure if anyone else who struggles with this felt the same way but as someone who also happens to struggle putting my emotions into words, it just made me happy to have the feeling that other people can relate and translate my emotions :)
Ok Tiktok, there’s a guy who has schizophrenia and records himself when he feels unsafe and to make sure it isn’t real, it’s really smart cause he is starting to be able to tell when things might be fake or real, when he records him self, the comments tell him whether it’s fake or real, it’s never been real.

@@osheridan failed troll, seeking attention on social media is narcisstic and narcissism is another form of mental illness. Get educated.
People say to me “ oh your teeth are so straight and your eyes are so good! Your so perfect!” I think every time they say that to me “what about my mental health?” I have social anxiety, I bottle up my emotions, I’m insecure about myself and I have depression. Talk about perfect.
While it's defintely true that mental health does tend to affect character/personality, looks tend to be a good start as to evaluating someone(it's not inherently wrong, as it can tell how professional someone is for example) (You might not be getting on that sort of viewpoint the general populace tends to have, but it kind of sounds like it)
its so annoying tbh when they're like that i hope you're getting better! im ugly on the outside and have professionally diagnosed SPD and anxiety and suspected depression so for the most part people avoid me XD but anyways i guess i just try to ignore other people and try not to think about things too much,,

i love how your voice is so calming
Watching this video and realizing you have the symptoms for most of most of these illnesses is a new kind of pain
I have had anxiety for a year now is because the stress of school, people say “oh your just faking it” “stop lying” this is why I don’t talk about anxiety/ depression
Depression and anxiety have been ruined because of all the attention seekers that fake it. No one takes it seriously now
That is also why it took so long for one of my friends to be diagnosed with autism. Then a month later she got diagnosed for eating disorder because of bullying that was happening at her school. Oh, and another one of my friends was diagnosed with PTSD from childhood abuse. But it was from her mum, and here’s the thing, she has separation anxiety(has a mental breakdown after not seeing her Mum for more than around 8 hours). Also her mum is an alcoholic that smokes and she has 8 older siblings. She also happens to be “blessed” with severe depression from age 8(8 seems to be a common factor) I think she might have crossed the threshold into suicidal if it wasn’t for all of her friends(including me) to have been working daily full time for years to have her experience at least a couple of happy moments each and every day. As for me I only have ADHD. Which I like to think of as a neurological superpower.

its not a great resource. Because they label ASD and ADHD as mental illness, and that claim is false. But people treating us who has ADHD and ASD as were mentaly sick are the ones who grows a seed of anxiety and depression in us.

Ptsd isn’t a joke or punchline. It’s not something to just throw around. None of these things are.
As far as I can tell it's not that people don't care or think it's funny. It's that most people have some kind of mental issue that they never attempt to address and want other people to do the same.
Vivian Woods That’s true, however I see “ptsd” and “depression” and other disorders thrown around online all the time like they’re adjectives or something and aren’t taken seriously. Not discounting what you said, it’s just sad that people will take such a sensitive thing and use it as a punchline or an insult
@Skittle Barf but sometimes that’s people’s scream for help, spreading it online (not as a joke ofc, I say this because this is my cry for help.)
Princess Autumn yea, talking about it online is totally fine or basing a joke around it. Using it as the joke is what I’m getting at 🤷🏻♀️

I was diagnosed with three of these things: 1. ADHD 2. Depression 3. Psychosis I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was three and have been on medication for it ever since. For depression I was diagnosed with it in 6th grade. As for Psychosis, I was diagnosed with it in the beginning of 8th grade. I'm currently going into Freshman
I have OCD and psychotic depression, but I wasn't diagnosed until my 20s..
Same
I'm happy for u that it has All been diagnosed that (or at least relatively) early!
I am currently diagnosed with Depression but as I continue to learn even more about ADHD I'm about to go to a hospital to get tested for it, soon
I feel so bad for you. I hope you have a good day.
Ocd is something you have to experience to understand. Ocd is VERY different in every individual
Agreed! Somebody in my class said I didn't have OCD because I didn't fit the stereotype. For me I was peeling the skin off my face and was unable to stop. I would stay home from school and cover my face with bandaids to prevent myself from picking.
For me I like doing certain movements with my lip, picking my hair. But those barely seem like issues tbh. I’m 22 now and I’ve so far dealt with major obsessive fears of catching stds, going crazy, becoming some other sexuality. And literally none of it makes sense but my brain just loves to hang on what if’s. Also what if I commit the unforgivable sin (I’m Christian) and go to hell. As a kid I was hooked on that obsession for a year or two and I couldn’t focus on my life. I felt trapped. But I honestly never thought about it being ocd. Honestly even saying the word makes me fear it’ll make things worse. But honestly I’ve grown and I think I’ll try therapy one day
So true. Most will never truly understand

I am diagnosed with EXTREME anxiety, add, cptsd, depression (chronically), an eating disorder and ocd and it’s STRESSFUL. Having to take many medications is so draining and it really sucks to wake up every morning. I ain’t trying to get some pity, just so by the way. Thank you for explaining what everything means ☺️
keep fighting it, don't give up :)
i was diagnosed with ocd anxiety depression being the youngest child, i've always felt so much pressure because i feel like i need to portray a kind, nice and happy child.
I'd like to know more about the lesser known eating disorders and what constitutes an eating disorder
Me too
They already have videos about that
Me too2
I have ARFID, it sucks.

I have bipolar and when I'm manic I clean the whole entire house and mess it up again and clean it up. I find it so fun to conquer a task and the excitement causes me to mess up the house just to clean it up. After my episode I just become really depressed.
i do the same thing
Relatable
I do the same thing, when im in manic , i am very jolly and make a lot of jokes the whole day but then suddenly,it just disappears and i become depressed all night ... This happens to me everyday , it sucks and thats why i hate when night comes
That must be really hard :( i hope you stay happy :)
Sometimes, I clean the entire house even it is night but i don't mess it up again. But all the thing in the room should be took in perfect spot.
We watched this in my health class today, and I instantly recognized your channel
Thanks for putting this together!
You’re more than just a stat 💛 all we can do is strive for wholeness not perfection ✨
Wholeness is enlightenment. Enlightenment is to see that all is perfect as is

I have deppresion, anxiety, adhd and stress and ptsd but, your voice is so calming 🥺
Ok now I sort of want a video explaining all types of therapy cuz apparently there are a thousand kinds of them
Book Butterfly my school has a therapist and it’s actually the best thing in the whole world
Blob Blob i’m jealous, my school has a counsellor but they’re awful. one time i was 5 minutes late and they yelled at me until i cried. also there’s no privacy and they feed everything back to your parents
stinky rat disgusting. In my case they shut up and my parents never knew. Kinda grateful
Blob Blob i hope you’re better now x
stinky rat 🥺 actually i’m not if you wanna talk reply and i’ll give u my insta
Thank you for making this I thought that I had anxiety and so did my parents and now I think it was actually PTSD, I’m okay now I’ve gotten better
Your voice is very calming. I have half of the disorders tho
My best friend was diagnosed with ADHD and her mom doesnt care because she only cares for my friends grades and schoolwork. I also remember that she told her mom that she was depressed and she just said 'okay. How's your grades?' So I can send this to her and tell her shes not alone
Jeezus fuckin christ damn
My teacher teaching us something in school Me with ASD and ADHD combined: oh look, a butterfly
Yeah
for me it's more like oh I forgot what i was thinking, what is the next subject oh look it's windy outside, **start thinking and rapping a song** , oh I lost my pen voices: Sara Sara!! me: wtf did she call me? friends: yes... me: oh-
for me is like: actually litsenning to the teacher me: alr i can do this ( secs later ) also me: wait, did the teacher explain this?
Me during class: Oh look something was written on a wall oh nevermind i can't read it oh wait maybe I should try to read it Nope I can't read it oh what if I put this pen on my face wait what if I was in another world
ADHD & ASD isn't even a mental disorder or mental illness
Your voice is giving me comfort at 4 am in the morning good night.
I was just diagnosed last week with ADHD (combined) and i watched this vid…ty for the info!
It's hard when you're diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses and watch this. I appreciate the knowledge being put out there for society's "normal" people, or people who are lucky enough not to have a mental illness. Some of my friends definitely need to see this, their behavior towards my condition is not heart warming....
Maybe you need some new friends
Same my friends kinda laugh about it or they make jokes or they say “Oh I’ve felt that once in my life I must have it!”
There is nothing wrong with that. You don't know how lucky you are. Bigotry. Racism. Ignorance
I'm so sorry :( You need better friends
all of us support you and i think you should leave those people and find people who you feel understand you more! ♥
Let’s see how many of these I have, 1. Anxiety (Severe) 2. ADHD (Mild) 3. PTSD/CPTSD (Very very severe & I’m trying online counseling) 4. Depression (A little over mild) Yes I was diagnosed professionally with all these, if anyone wants to talk I’m up for it :)
I m willing to talk
:( I’m sorry you had to deal with these, I hope you’re doing alright 💕
Sorry to hear that. I hope you'll eventually find relief. :)
Do you take any medication for this? And also do you go to therapy or anything like that x
I was diagnosed with moderate/severe G.A.D. 6 years ago and mild depression 1 week ago. I'm getting help and I'm thankful that my family can afford help because I have friends that can't afford it
Your videos help me so much, thank you for these
As someone who aspires to be a CBT therapist one day . The psych2go team have taught me a lot , Thank you all so much .❤️
I know right! I honestly learn alot reading through the comments as well, nice to chat with other people on my level!
I highly recommend the good herpes cure from doctor okoh thank you so much for helping to get cured completely after suffering for 5 good years 😭 anybody who also need some help should contact him DROKOH on KZhead channel,
I hadn't been seeking help almost my entire life, at the age of 21, finally, I went to a doctor and turned out to have depression, anxiety, ADHD, and OCD. this was life-changing. So many things were explained with these diagnoses, I finally knew why I was the way I am and how to fight and what I'm even fighting against. I encourage anyone to seek help if they think they might be suffering from any mental illness. Edit: I found help ^^ turned out I'm autistic with OCD and other yet-to-be-discovered stuff
@@cricketnut547 give it a shot, try finding out if there is something wrong. You might be struggling with a mental illness without realizing it.
@@cricketnut547 try blocking out the thought. Like literally when it comes try spacing out but don't put too much pressure on yourself at once. With time you'll be able to. I have experience with OCD. Pray it'll get easier and better. Fight that's the only way.
I have ADHD and OCD as well. It’s tough man.
same but i am younger i have also been diagnosed to be bipolar so you are not alone
I think I might have BPD(Borderline Personality Disorder), but I don’t want to tell my parents. Because they might think I’m fishing for sympathy or attention seeking. I have told my Mother once, but I’m sure she has forgotten. I really don’t know what to do, I used to do Counseling but we stopped because stuff happened. The prospect of selling the house doesn’t make things better. Anyway, that’s not what I’m here for. Was wondering if I could get an opinion on what to do? Like, should I push to see if I can get diagnosed? Or should I just leave it? It’s been about a month or two now, (idk, I have horrible time perception) I still feel the same way about the situation. Please, I don’t know what to do. I really need a second opinion from a third person perspective
*Remember kids* It's because you feel bad for a few minutes that you have one of these illnesses. They're not a joke!
I know you mean the ones who fake an illness to be edgy or exchange depression with sadness, but mental illness is for all ages, especially if it's about childhood trauma
I know right! It's so offensive for people who actually have a mental illness!.
What if i feel happy then from something i suddently feel like i wanna die? Like a lot of little minion like creatures tell me how not to do this and how not to play. And whatever i do im just not good enough then suddently 1 hour -1 day later im feeling better? It happends 2x times a week, it might have to do with PTSD due to me being triggered by small things but i seriously dont know
I dont even know if i have mental illness and im so afraid to find out if i have one like what if im just being dramatic?What if this isn't what they call mental illness? I overthink it everytime and the ending is always "nah im sure im okay this is me being dramatic and all that shit or maybe im too sensitive"
@@fairyjuggalo8368 I cannot advise you about your situation, but I strongly suggest that you talk to somebody. Or a professional just to see what it is. And remember, if you weren't good enough, you wouldn't be in this world. If you ever need a talk, you can talk to me here whenever you want.
Thank you so much. I struggle alot with guilt. I took care of my father but I felt if I had done a better job he would have lived a little bit longer. I was also abused and bullied. My parents were never around.
I have ADHD and EBD and I’ve been going to my therapist for 2 years and I hate her. When I was still crying she asked the same question that made me cry in the first place.
I remember when I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder...I honestly thought Anxiety was something simple, like just being sensitive to certain situations and becoming anxious...or I thought that it meant excessive worry...but as time grew on...I began to understand that Anxiety is like a darkness that consumes and affects every area of my life...and it's the only thing in the entire world that I hold hatred for since it is solely responsible for breaking up my relationships, hurting my friendships, and taking away many of my good memories... I'm getting better though ❤️ Therapy is worth the effort, it does get bettee
I actually have physical pain from it.... so awful
I suffer from GAD too and I was the same why I never knew what it really meant until 6th - 7th grade and after I was diagnosed I realized i struggled with it my whole life, I completely understand where your coming from, people broke up with me bc I of my mental health but I am going to therapy, have been for about three years and you are right, it does get better.
As a person suffering with ocd, thank you for raising awareness on this disorder that is stereotyped so often that it’s frustrating to those actually suffering from it.
I do not have ocd, but I hate when people say “omg I’m sorry it’s just my ocd uwu”. It’s not the same thing, let’s educate people about it
I'm so sorry for idiots who are like "omg my ocd is acting up 🥺🥺🥺🥺" It would be horrible to liklve with and I couldn't even imagine
As a person with OCD. I FUCKING FEEL THIS
@@miles3138 absolutely right
OCD is FAKE, you CHOOSE to do it so people pay attention to you
I live with both ADHD and ASD. It is very hard to live with these two disorders. I am a young fellow and unfortunately I have been accused of being lazy never listening ect. It is very hard being so different from the average society and unfortunately because of my differences and difficulties people in my schools would pick on me constantly and I would not be just verbally abused but also in some cases physically abused as well but psych2go has helped me a lot so thanks to everyone at phsych2go for making content that’s not only informing and entertaining but also helpful. So please keep doing what your doing with this channel it helps not only me but so many other people.
How do you know if you have both ADHD and ASD, because I've lived with ADHD since childhood and I'm just now starting to realize that I may have ASD too, and do you have any advise on coping mechanisms?
@@thebrokentbird8365 all you need to do in order to find out if your on the spectrum is to get a diagnosis by a doctor that specializes in that field
It must be harder knowing you got a disorder and that this video saying your have a mental illness when that claim is false. ADHD and ASD are development disorders not mental illness.

I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety, depression at 14 and anxiety at 15, it had gotten so bad that I had to get admitted into a psych ward last year cuz I wanted to off myself, and I had tried it in the past too, thankfully the ward I went to was a good one so I actually got help, the kids there, nurses and doctors helped me a lot, we also had a yard we could go out to and 3 dogs that loved getting pet :)
My second grade teacher helped me get diagnosed for ADHD, that lady is amazing
Percentages seem small. Imagine all of those going undiagnosed properly cuz the anxiety to speak up.. lack of trustworthy people in life.. no one to look up to growing up

@@shadesbaane774 That is an emotional avoidance response and it works for the short term but can cause serious long term problems, it is irresponsible to present that behaviour to get others to do the same.
Same, all the symptoms this vid said about PTSD i have. Therapy helped me a lot.
I had GAD when I was 6 years old up until 8-9 years old. I’m 16 now, GAD came back 1 1/2 years ago, I’ve finally gotten treatment from my therapist with medication and I’m feeling better than ever.
Your video is very much informative. This is very things to inform we all
wtf no its not who has depression
I just don't understand why the third reaction to stress/trauma, "Freeze", keeps getting ignored in discussions about PTSD. A person can either freeze, fight, or flee. Their brain will choose one reaction/response over another based upon information they are receiving from both internal and external sources. Part of choosing to freeze can be, for example, when a child has been raised to ALWAYS be polite and not cause any trouble and so they don't confront their attacker. Thank you.
ive actually been abused more than once, and hav either fleed or froze from the abuse... there might be a chance that i hav PTSD but im not sure...
Very correct about this!!!! Freeze is a big thing and you explained it very well.
agreed! i freeze with mine the only movement i have is when something tries to touch me then i flinch but thats it
Yes, I freeze everytime and I feel pathetic for it
So it’s a response such as fight or flight? Does it only happen with PTSD or CPST because I feel like freeze is my nervous system’s go-to response
I just don't like how some people say "Oh I have mental illness issues so I can't do this or do that" as an excuse for them to skip what they don't like. Experiencing these mental illnesses are way more intense than how most of us think
as someone who is diagnosed with adhd, sometimes when doing a school thing, it feels like i physically CANT do it and its so frusterating! i try to just suck it up and just do it, but i look at the paper and its like the words arent even words anymore. the paper is just a plain paper. it doesnt look plain, but it might as well be. so yeah, sometimes i have to wait a bit before i can do stuff, but i always get things done eventually and i take initiative! my teachers hate it tho lol, so i like to say "as long as i hand it in on time, why do you care if i do it in class or at home?" lmao but ill never skip something i dont want to do altogerther
Yeah! I have anxiety, ADHD, and ACD along with reflux and sleeping problems if can be so frustrating when someone people using them as an excuse
Sadly some people do use these things as excuses, but as a general rule you should listen to a person when they tell you they have restrictions based on physical or mental health.
It's one thing to be diagnosed as a kid or a young adult, and another thing to be diagnosed as a mature adult. I got diagnosed with ASD, depression, anxiety and PTSD after I got 2 kids. It was still ok when they were babies but it gets worse and worse as they reach puberty. They invite friends who take too much of my energy and I have to meet other parents at school for doing some social stuff like the end of a school year celebrations. It's a living hell for me. I've decided to withdraw from all social life to spare my mental health for my children and I don't care anymore if other parents think I'm weird.
@@Anastasia-sy2lo completely agree with this. I was diagnosed with all of these from 21 (right after having my son) all the way to age 29. Being there and not embarrassing my kids about talking about weird shit/when not to talk about certain things or anxiously watching my kids to make sure absolutely nothing happens to them is so freaking exhausting! I hope you’re coping well!
I haven't had a proper diagnosis yet, but the anxiety, depression, and ASD sound like me. I've had alot happen to me this year in 2023, and it was really harsh, I had pushed myself to the brink of shutdown. And I knew I couldn't just give up either, so I had to finish to the end, but it left a big dent in my life though. I'm praying for people with these mental issues and hope they make it through. 🙏
My question is how do we find those help when the country itself doesn’t really have therapists/counselors?
Talk with someone u trust (like a friend) or u can find therapists online
@@user-dg3vc3lo2q DO NOT DO THIS THE HELL??? Not to sound rude but that's one of the major points of a therapist. The stuff you say won't be used against you and there is no fear of upsetting them cause you dont even know them. All telling a friend is gonna result in is hugs, with apologies and advice that you know won't work.
@@user-dg3vc3lo2q also most online therapists are pretty shady and aren't in it to make ppl feel better smth
Make your own help. Find things you enjoy doing, if your not able to do that, try to look for things that are important to you. If you cant do THAAAT, realize that as long as you dont give up, time will move on without you, and you WILL get professional help eventually. But dont rely on it
Could you talk about the different types of Delusional Disorders, Narcissism types, Sociopathy, Psychopathy, DID, Depersonalization, Agoraphobia?
Nah fam its called google
I'd love that
ADHD is A LOT. - like a constant sensory overload without the ability to sense or treat it any better. - like a different memory system which is capable of dealing with that, but at the cost of accuracy or speed in the long run. Mostly accuracy. But 'being slow' is what you'll get to hear all the time, because you are prone to errors either way. That contributes to the effectiveness-problem. - like a mind adjusted to deal with your daily sensory overload so that any less and any more stimuli gets you either super nervous or super tired. But in the same time any stimuli gets devalued asap to make it easier to shift to the next one asap. - like a body adjusted for weird sleep patterns but it also takes longer to get tired in the first place (melantonin resistence). But you also develop your own kind of daydreams to keep up, which makes you more forgettable, when it happens. Sometimes it's even dangerous but you'd never know when. That's the inattentive type (even more accuracy, less control). - like a disability in pushing back unneeded emotions and thoughts as part of the normal response cycle. So that thinking and behaving right becomes more difficult even with all the knowledge and time at hand, but it isn't a disability. That's the impulsive type (even more speed, less control). - like going all-in for your personality instead, because nothing gets finished by you, either because your mood changed or your stimuli about what you wanted to do changed way too quickly. So, is it a weak irritation filter issue then? Probably. But you see.. the individual is adjusted to this so hard, that it's rather a multi-impairing genetic thing. The sayings are about genetic imparements with the executive fuctioning, the most basic operations within the human brain. It is also strongly linked to austism, ocd, borderline and shizophrenia which indicates maybe some underlying causes. Multi-diagnoses are possible. E.g. you can have severe social communication and understanding problems (autism), or severe self-esteem and reflecting problems (borderline), or severe anxieties and compulsions (ocd), or your brain fails to keep up the pace entirely (shizophrenia). [Note: My opinions]
this is excactly right, i have ADHD
Spot on! I am ADHD and what you posted is exactly how it is. I also deal with Major Depressive Disorder (Clinical Depression) and am coming back from a nervous breakdown.
@gopal barnwal 1.5 or 2 hours xD I have dozens of these texts .-. Thanks. And i delete a lot.
Pretty spot on.
@@ImperfectLioness Speaking of breakdown, i forgot to talk about "hyperfocus": [also my opinion] # This devaluing process, important for task shifting, if changed successfully, it may lead to some weird kind of "hyperfocus", where you just stuck. This form may also be the reason of your social anxieties in total, because you'll experiencing social pressure and the fear of lacking control at the same time, without being able to explain any of it understandably within or afterwards. # The other "hyperfocus" is about the unusual resistence to frustration and boredom within a certain task. You will feel the urge to feel bored or frustrated as normally, but somehow they didn't bother you and they didn't build up like usual. Either way, you are in trance. Probably because that's how you can deal with your situation. And I think "hyperfoci" are changable because of this trance-similarity, but they need time and effort and your success depends on your lack of ressources at that point. Don't eat only pizza for 3 days in a row.. Instead aim for the whole alphabet or food color rainbow. The method is to calm down, stop other processes to free some ressources and to change it back by basically trying to wake up manually. It's the same thing you do at the end of any meditation or whatever gets your body moved again while experiencing sleep paralysis. That's why neuro-feedback and meditation are handy for them. The usual music induced flow might not be helpful then, because searching the kick in this situation doesn't get you calm, even so it does a spark, it also blows it away hence only wastes ressources. And calmness is what you need to get out of it. Vitamin B and sugar might also be helpful, somehow. An energy may cut the time roughly in half. But if it only were that simple to take it and drink it, while being in trance. And you probably have to try your strategies even if people directly asking you with undertones why you are doing nothing, but still sitting there despite the school is over since a couple minutes. And then you have to start over again. And if you were unlucky and untrained it will need like an extra hours just because of this question. Oooh and if you are already in deep trance but also very stressed and also don't see that, a simple touch can you instantly throw into a mental breakdown even if you never had problems with being touched or being neurotic. I'm not sure, but this experience of mine might also overlap with ocd and autism. The other thing is, you don't loose energy while in it, because you lack the sense of time so damn hardly, that your brain makes sense of it by pretending you haven't lost that much ressources. It's like getting the golden sleep after like 3h (waking up directly after the first or second REM). 16h straight may feel physically like 4h on the gaming-exhaustion scale and if you are not carefully, you can risk a depression like manics do, but they'll do it because they have the urge to push themselves to claim some more good stuff in their lives, compared to their negative outlook within that period (others see that, but you're not). This type of "hyperfocus" doesn't do that. There is no weird pressure. You're just calm. And if this "hyperfocus" extends to several days, i pray for you, you have the right environment and food to cope with the consequences. 14 days may feel like a lan-weekend on the gaming-exhaustion scale. The best thing you can do, is to regenerate and to be calm to avoid the manic-like bottom. It's possible.
Thank you for this information. It was very helpful.
They should teach this in school so we could recognise this and stop it so it does not get worse!!
Having suffered from psychosis myself I can safely say it is torture, some breaks have been smoother than others but some have driven me to the edge. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, if any other sufferers are here, stay strong you're not alone
im so sorry dear.. if u ever need someone to talk to, im here
Hey I know this is a really old comment but I was wondering if I’ve ever had psychosis. Could you tell me a little more about your personal experience with it?
I had a psychotic break. I can say, was the worst experience of my life. I almost choped my hand because I thought I was being controlled to kill someone. It's tough this brain stuff.
@@SauceBoss54 I second this. I'm a bit concerned of the paranoid thoughts I've been having and I want to see if they overlap with this mental illness I also hope your alright and everything gets better for you it seems really hard to deal with, you've got this
@@LefdecIsHere I had it and i have it forever
"Having a psychotic disorder can feel like torture" true. Never heard a truer statement about psychosis. Psychosis also features a disconnection from reality, sometimes my whole body us numb because im so disconnected and lost in my own head and hallucinations. It's hell
I have been studying on this topics in last few weeks to understand how to help others a person
"We can take therapy for these" :Hmm we can but the thing is who is gonna tell our parents we need it...?
Rightt

I was diagnosed with Autism at a very young age (as a kid) and in my case, I had occupational therapy until I was 6, I took SPED (previously known as ESE) classes until high school and I was in speech therapy. Anxiety and Depression is hereditary on both sides of my family.
Thank you for sharing.
i feel like i am lying to myself by thinking: Maybe I have depression? Maybe thats why i try to kill myself slowly, never clean my room and want everyone to leave me but not really, stopped learning for school entirely. woah i didn't think this would blow up
For me it took about a year to admit I might have a depression. During treatment I realize how bad my condition was, but I didn't see myself as someone with depression before going to a psychiatrist. I thought maybe I'm wrong or just overreacting. Now I know that my view of myself and a world was distorted. So I think it's better to be cautious and just try to go a therapist or psychiatrist, maybe you are ok maybe not. But you will never now unless you try. Please consider getting some help. It can be better. Life can be better if you try to help yourself or others help you. Take care

I had multiple bullies all back in Elementary school. I had it too. I swear one was a narcissist and he wouldn’t stop leaving me alone. The other always had to say a snarky comment at me like I didn’t exist. We need to stand up to people like them and I will hope the best for you. 🙏
