You can be living in a storm and swear it's a sunny day. That's what it's like when insight slips away. In this episode, Dr. Nicole (board certified psychiatrist) and Kit Wallis (lives with schizoaffective disorder) explore why people with serious mental illness, like bipolar disorder, often can't see their own symptoms — even when the evidence is undeniable. Dr. Nicole unpacks the science behind lack of insight and explains how it isn't all-or-nothing. Insight flickers, evolves, and sometimes disappears just when you need it most. From Kit's early experiences hearing voices (and assuming they were just a creative mind) to the manic episodes that shattered her reality, you'll hear firsthand how denial and confusion can coexist. Discover why antipsychotic medications didn't convince Kit the voices weren't real, why manic highs feel too good to question, and why telling someone “you're sick” rarely makes them believe it. If you've questioned why it's so hard to see bipolar symptoms in yourself or a loved one, this conversation will open your eyes to the hidden forces behind denial — and acceptance. Cold Open Transcript: Kit Wallis: It took me years to figure out I was hallucinating. And the voices hated it whenever I did that. They were like, don't do that, don't research us, don't do that. Looking back on it, it doesn't make sense, but in the moment, it made perfect sense to me. It's kind of wild to me that I can go through all this effort to really figure out what is going on and I still have moments where it just completely slips my mind. It still slips my mind when it is happening most of the time. We have a guest host for this episode (Don't worry, Gabe Howard will be back!): Our guest host, Kit Wallis, who goes by SchizoKitzo, is a content creator who advocates for schizoaffective and bipolar disorders. She uses long-form videos on her YouTube channel and short-form content on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Her content centers around her personal experience with schizoaffective disorder and often includes deep dives into research topics regarding mental health. Kit was diagnosed with the bipolar type of schizoaffective disorder in late 2020 and has struggled with symptoms since she was in middle school. Schizoaffective disorder is a mental health condition where someone experiences symptoms of schizophrenia--such as delusions and hallucinations--but also symptoms of a mood disorder--either major depression or, in Kit's case, bipolar. Realizing there was a lack of schizoaffective advocates, she decided to start her SchizoKitzo project to raise awareness for this complex condition. The mission of SchizoKitzo is to raise awareness of schizoaffective disorder and all of its aspects, from the mood side to the psychotic side. Kit works to bridge the gap between life and science so she can help break the stigma around mental health. Our host, Dr. Nicole Washington, is a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she attended Southern University and A&M College. After receiving her BS degree, she moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to enroll in the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed a residency in psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma in Tulsa. Since completing her residency training, Dr. Nicole has spent most of her career caring for and being an advocate for those who are not typically consumers of mental health services, namely underserved communities, those with severe mental health conditions, and high performing professionals. Through her private practice, podcast, speaking, and writing, she seeks to provide education to decrease the stigma associated with psychiatric conditions. Find out more at DrNicolePsych.com.

In this female-centric episode, board certified psychiatrist Dr. Nicole Washington welcomes mental health advocate Kit Wallis, who lives with schizoaffective disorder, for a fearless “girl power” takeover. Kit shares raw stories of being dismissed, sexualized, and romanticized simply for being a woman with a serious mental health diagnosis — and how one doctor's simple question, “What is it like for you?” completely changed her care. Together, they pull back the curtain on the “crazy girl” trope, explore why stability truly is the new sexy, and celebrate the radical act of being heard. You'll learn how gender bias sneaks into clinical decisions — from medication adjustments to life-altering procedures — and discover practical tools for reclaiming agency: setting boundaries, understanding transference in therapy, and advocating for respectful, person-centered care. Tune in and join Dr. Nicole and Kit for an uplifting, eye-opening discussion, because when women speak, real change happens.

Why is schizoaffective disorder so often overlooked — even by mental health professionals — and how does it relate to bipolar disorder? In this episode, Dr. Nicole Washington sits down with guest host Kit Wallis (aka SchizoKitzo) to discuss Kit's life managing schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type. Kit shares her decade-long journey through multiple diagnoses, from cyclothymia to bipolar I, before finally receiving the correct diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Kit explains why this diagnosis finally made sense and how she educated herself on her disorder. If you've ever wondered about the blurry lines between bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder — or just want to hear a powerful story of self-advocacy — this episode is for you. Cold Open Transcript: Dr. Nicole: Some people will tell me that their voices are not all bad, and they don't necessarily want to get rid of them. Kit: Oh, man. That's a can of worms. That is a can of worms. When I was telling my psychiatrist that I was experiencing religious delusions, and I went on antipsychotics to get rid of the god who hated me, but not necessarily for the voices who helped me so much. I ended up losing the others and I think about the voices that I don't hear anymore all the time because I miss them that much.

Your ex's schizoaffective episodes keep getting court-approved showtime with your special-needs child, despite restraining orders. It's Feedback Friday! And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: You're raising a special-needs child in Norway while locked in an endless dance with a legal system that keeps inviting your ex — who has a documented history of violent psychotic episodes — to waltz back into your lives despite restraining orders. How do you protect your child when the system seems determined to tango with danger? You're watching L.A.'s recent wildfire coverage from your Northern California community, where neighbors still camp in RVs after losing everything to even larger infernos. It's like screaming into the void while celebrities get prime-time attention for their lost pool houses. How do you process this disparity in coverage and support? Your professor treats student assistants like Victorian servants, dismisses them mid-sentence, and weaponizes awkward silences. How do you co-exist with someone who has such authority while preserving your dignity? Diagnosed with paranoid personality disorder 20 years ago, your mother, once grounded in reality, now believes you've infected her brain with parasites and refuses to leave her house or see doctors. It's like watching someone slowly slip through your fingers while the legal system shrugs. How do you help someone who sees such help as a threat? Recommendation of the Week: Audit your medicine expiration dates. After three years of orchestrating your life around your rescue dog's careful medical routine, you've had to say goodbye. Like a cruel cosmic joke, it caps off two years of personal earthquakes — layoffs, moves, heartbreaks. Seemingly sharing in the act of mourning, your other dog howls at the pawprint box. How do you rebuild when grief keeps redecorating? Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com!

Get ready for a two part call-in, first from the husband, and then the wife!Part 2: https://fdrpodcasts.com/5800"My wife and i are very likely getting divorced and i want to know my obligation to fight when it looks like to me the primary problem is just plain mental illness. "The biggest problem we have is her delusions about me cheating, being on drugs, drugging her, and lying."None of this is real and it doesn't matter what evidence, logic, reason, common sense i use to show her its not true. "She has a history of mental illness and was also in a bad car accident before i met her where her brain was badly injured. She was previously hospitalized for thinking her parents were coke dealers. "She's been to see numerous therapists but never a clear diagnosis."Schizoaffective bipolar disorder was what her first psych said. "Borderline personality disorder,"PTSD,"And / or Paranoid Personality Disorder are what make the most sense to me after 5 years with her and talking to several therapists / professionals."I'm also considering that she may just be a narcissist or some combination of all of the above. "I am conflicted because other than these episodes of whatever this is we have a very amazing relationship. The majority of the time i am very happy with her and she says and acts like shes very happy with me. We can communicate about most issues and are oriented towards solutions. We have similar values, we agree on most things, our sex life is fantastic, we are always laughing and playing and putting each other first. I have never been happier than in my time with my wife and she usually says she feels the same. "When she gets stressed out tho then i suddenly become an absolute monster in her eyes and she says the meanest nastiest things to me and tells me she's never been happy with me etc. She's been caught smoking cigs, which was a huge boundary for me. Hiding her drinking. And i am of course suspicious of her cheating after her constant accusations of me cheating but no tangible proof, just little things that seem fishy. "After dealing with too many of these insane accusations and random fights i have moved out and asked for divorce. But its been a little over a month now and i miss her like crazy. Any attempts to talk with her have been heated, cruel, unproductive but in the past she has always come out of the fog eventually and been apologetic and reasonable so I hang on to a little hope that she will come to her senses again this time and be willing to actually talk. "I do think there's just something wrong with her brain but i cannot get through to her how bad she keeps hurting me because in her mind these delusions about me cheating and hiding things are real. Or she's just a narcissist and playing sick games with me. "I really love this girl but i can't have kids with her treating me like this. How can i get her help or do i just cut my losses and walk away?"Her parents have always been very supportive and understanding in the past because they've been through these things with her themselves but they now seem to have cut me off and aren't replying to my attempts to talk to them anymore. They have always been a huge help in the past but now I'm assuming they're just sick of the drama and instead of facing how they messed their only kid up they are wanting to keep on good terms with her by cutting me out. "I am going crazy with guilt, shame, remorse, anger, confusion, regret, sadness."Everyone in my life is telling me to just cut my losses and be grateful no kids are involved. I rationally know this is toxic but I took marriage very seriously and that means in sickness and in health and she is clearly sick with something. "I need an outside perspective on what my obligation to her really is."GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material, as well as targeted AIs for Real-Time Relationships, BitCoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-Ins.

In this SAFE SPACE episode we're going to find out what it's like to live with a diagnosis of Schizophrenia so we can understand it better and help reduce some of the stigma surrounding this mental wellbeing issue. Jess sits down with 45-year-old Phoebe Kingston who has a lived experience of mental distress including a diagnosis of Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, and more recently, Dissociative Identity Disorder.

One of the reasons why many people suffer during the so-called “holiday” season is because it's the first - or one more of many holidays - that they're actively grieving a loved one's death within the last year or even farther away – and they cannot seem to work through their grief enough to want to step back into life. Into living this moment that's right before them. I tuned into a Hidden Brain episode this week that discussed a recently researched concept of grief in a very personal way, as resilience researcher Lucy Hone told the story of her own nightmare - the death of one of her children. So, I wanted to pass her ideas on to you – as you might be one of those people who are struggling with grief – and not knowing how to get out from under its shadow. Our listener email is a from a listener who says he's been diagnosed with what's called “schizoaffective disorder” – and wonders if I know much about – or can help him with – intrusive thoughts that he can't seem to rid himself of.

Our next guest is Ethan Bach, and I feel we hit it off pretty quickly, I was very grateful for his transparency in his story. History includes dealing with a brain Tumor disability, alcohol, weed, and porn addictions, severe mental health issues (Schizoaffective, and more. We discussed many things like being in a psych ward, him struggling with his psychosis and delusions, and how he fights for his sanity. These days he's working on his nonprofit, and his memoir so that he can help people like him and give the information he lacked when dealing with his issues.

Phantom Electric Ghost Interviews Ethan Bach: From the depths of hell and rising from the ashes, this first time Author has a ridiculous story to tell! Getting lost in the Truman Show Delusion with Ethan Bach BIO Ethan Bach was living a pretty mundane life, until a brain tumor at age 17 brought him many disabilities, addictions, and FIVE hard-to-believe psychotic episodes (Brought on by medical steroids), where he was enveloped in what is known as "The Truman Show Delusion". About Ethan Although my story is dark I have a very positive outlook and try to look at the bright side of life. There is a lot of humor in my book I'm told, whether from a joke, or my embarrassing stories. The places I've traveled and many "Famous celebrities" I've met while in psychosis will make for a very interesting interview!

For 18 year old Katie Rackliff it was just a normal night out. She had recently split up with her boyfriend and her friends thought it would do her good to get out for the evening. But there was confusion at the end of the evening after the nightclub and Katie didn't go home with her friends as planned. Instead, she met a brutal and terrifying death. In this episode of the UK true Crime podcast I look at the terrible murder of Katie Rackliff. Writing Credit: Megan Grant.

Are You Channeling Dark Spirits? Or is it a Mental Disorder? People have been reaching out to me about dark spirits and asking how demons actually work. Since I am channeling spirits and spirit is communicating with me, I felt like this was an important topic to cover. You may think you are being entertained by demons if you're hearing voices, but there's a chance it could be a mental disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar, schizoaffective disorder, hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, or psychosis. If you're hearing voices, there may be more going on than clairaudience. Mental illness is more common than people think and demons are less common. Nightmares are included in this category of experiences too with traumas of the subconscious mind that aren't being addressed. In This Episode: I explain the differential diagnosis of common mental disorders like bipolar, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder I give you a clear idea of how hallucinations, delusions, and paranoid thoughts can be confused with channeling dark spirits You'll learn how dark spirits present themselves differently than mental disorders I also share with you things you can do to clear your space and protect yourself from dark spirits including doing a house clearing (FREE PDF Step-by-Step Guide below) FREE HOUSE CLEARING CEREMONY ➞ https://www.natalieschlute.com/house-clearing FREE MANIFESTATION + METAPHYSICAL DOWNLOAD LIBRARY: https://www.natalieschlute.com/free-library Join the Online Community for support: The Successful Soul Facebook Community Follow me on social media @natalieschlute on Instagram Natalie Schlute on YouTube Natalie Schlute on Pinterest For more info and freebies, go to: NatalieSchlute.com

James has been suffering from mental health issues most of his life. It all started with a diagnosis of ADHD at the age of 6 years old. He was put on amphetamines for ADHD. He also had depression and anxiety starting around that age when put on the ADHD meds. At around 16 years old he started self medicating with pharmaceutical and street drugs and by 17 years old he was diagnosed with Schizoaffective and rapid cycling Bi Polar disorder. 10 years later, at the age of 27, he had been hospitalized at least 200 times in the psych hospital and emergency department. He developed obesity, pre-diabetes, psoriasis, Irritable bowel syndrome, and chronic fatigue, along with those severe mental health issues. After 6 weeks doing the Carnivore lifestyle he got my life back. All of my health issues, including the severe mental health issues, went into clinical remission and he is on no pharmaceutical medications whatsoever. He hopes to help others who have similar issues recover now.

I used to not be an animal person, but since I got my Parakeets (Budgies, Birdies) last Fall I've found myself falling in love with these little happy fluffballs. My Budgies came to me sick and underdeveloped, and out time together has been a journey of mutual healing and trust-building. While some people think Schizophrenics shouldn't have pets, this isn't true; my Budgies help me manage Negative Symptoms like Avolition and Anhedonia, in addition to helping with my loneliness and withdrawal. We are not dangerous to our pets and having pets can be very helpful to our wellbeing.
Dr. B here in our series demystifying the DSM and we are on psychotic disorders. Today I'm going to be talking about schizoaffective disorder, so if you came across this just in like a search for schizoaffective disorders, it's going to be important to also look at the schizophrenia video and either the bipolar or depressive videos. Because Schizoaffective brings in those symptoms. And if I'm talking to practitioners the differential diagnosis here sometimes gets confusing, and I have seen people putting schizoaffective and I might have said bipolar with psychotic features. You will see differences in diagnosis among providers and to our clients that are listening. That's OK, right? Unfortunately, mental health is not as black and white as other symptoms in the body, right? Our neurological system and how we present has a lot to do with our environment, how we're raised Our culture You know, Schizoaffective is basically saying that you meet that first criteria for schizophrenia, so go back and look at that That's where you have two of these five symptoms, delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, you must have at least two of those. So, you're meeting those basic criteria for schizophrenia, but then there's this concurrent mood piece, right? So affective means mood and schizo means schizophrenia and affective means mood. So schizoaffective means you are meeting those basic criteria for schizophrenia, but maybe not the negative symptoms or the severe functional decline that you see in schizophrenia. But there's this strong affective component that is there even when we get the psychotic piece in remission. So, when we're treating someone with schizoaffective, we are treating the psychosis first and then the mood second. So oftentimes you'll see the psychotic symptoms decrease and then we have to maybe add an antidepressant or do something specific like an anticonvulsant or a mood stabilizer to treat the affective part. So, in schizoaffective we have two types, we have the bipolar type. Go and look at the bipolar video, which I haven't done yet, but it'll be in the series and the depressive type. Ok, so that means that they're meeting criteria for schizophrenia part A and they are meeting criteria for either bipolar or depression. And that's how we get that schizoaffective diagnosis. But don't be discouraged if you are someone who is diagnosed with that and you're like well, but somebody else said I was bipolar. The reality is here at Mentally STRONG, we treat symptoms and receptors, not DSM diagnosis because DSM diagnosis are really just a cluster of symptoms that don't necessarily go with our neurological circuits. And remember when we're talking about psychotic disorders, we are likely going to have to treat it with medication. Here at Mentally STRONG we are going to take that schizoaffective diagnosis and look at you personally and say what symptoms are you presenting with and how can we treat those. And honestly, we might treat someone with you know, bipolar psychotic features with some of the same medications so don't own your diagnosis as who you are. Just know that these are the symptoms that you are presenting, and psychotic symptoms need to be treated with medication. The affective part of what's going on in the bipolar depression. The maybe you've experienced trauma. That's going to be treated with the Mentally STRONG Method and those with a schizoaffective diagnosis can come learn to function You know, especially with medication and therapy. Function and get control of those symptoms. So that's how we do it here. At Mentally STRONG we treat with medication and counseling.

Life with psychotic symptoms, hallucinations, delusions and paranoia is hard enough, but when coupled with suspicions of medication; it can be intolerable. The post Medication Adherence and my Schizoaffective Journey appeared first on OC87 Recovery Diaries.
I've talked about my color and light hallucinations on my pages before, but I thought it was about time I go really in depth as to what the experience is like. The colors and light are such a major part of my everyday experience, but they are so far from the ordinary I found it difficult to put them into words. I hope that my explanation is interesting/useful, thanks for joining me again!

Terry had the pleasure to discuss with Steven Dembek who was diagnosed with Bipolar Schizoaffective Disorder ultimately ending his naval career. Steven opens up about his struggles with his mental illness, life after the military and his musical career. Schizoaffective disorder is a combination of symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorder, such as depression or bipolar disorder. Symptoms may occur at the same time or at different times. Cycles of severe symptoms are often followed by periods of improvement. Symptoms may include delusions, hallucinations, depressed episodes, and manic periods of high energy.
Guest Pooja Mehta, a mental health advocate, shares her story of facing a schizoaffective disorder where she hears voices during moments of anxiety. Unlike depression and anxiety, the more commonly-supported (but still not fully accepted) mental health disorders, schizoaffective disorders are still known as "crazy" diseases, a stigma that needs to stop.
