We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

I think he's always been good looking, but he thinks very highly of himself in these moments.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

So schizoaffective is basically bipolar and schizophrenia as one.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

While Brian has delusions and I think even hallucinations, he also has manic depressive episodes.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

So it's basically a combination.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

And I have also been just doing more research on it to know exactly how it works.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

But I think it's common for people with his disorder to be looked at differently.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

looked at as bipolar and separate it from schizophrenia but actually schizoaffective disorder is the combination the combination so you wouldn't really say he's bipolar in schizo he's just schizoaffective got it yeah so his delusions definitely persist and until this day he's never he's never not delusional he's always in a different reality and this is a daily thing yes this is every day

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

even with the medication.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

But without the medication is where we see the manic depressive episodes.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

hard for you guys to maintain a relationship because of this yes definitely there is another reason why we don't have a relationship and it's more because of my own trauma but it is extremely hard to have a relationship

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

right now with him even right now he he's not he's like not in our reality so having a conversation things just don't really make sense yeah you can't talk about like what's happening in your everyday life yeah and is he living with your mom he is living with my dad okay

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

She goes almost every day to my dad's house because they're about 15 minutes away from each other to make sure that he's taking his medication.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

So at this point, they are basically on board with making sure he's taking it.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

Yeah, I think that's a very good question.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

And I am not sure if they are supposed to minimize his delusions.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

And I do feel like that we haven't found the exact medication that would help.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

But another big part of it is the weed.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

Yeah, I completely agree too.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

I think that, well, I mean, also from doing research about it too, we should not be a part of it at all.
