6 Most Misunderstood Mental Disorders You Should Know About

Today's video is more on a serious and educational video. There's a chance serious videos tend not to perform well. When you get a chance please share this video that might help educate others around 6 most misunderstood mental disorders. It will help a lot with our mission on spreading awareness around mental health and Psychology content.

Thank you Psych2Go for this great video! The disorders mentioned in this video are sadly very romanticized and fetishized in the media and portrayed wrong. As someone who has Cyclothymia, OCD, and GAD among other things (I have issues ik im working on it🤣) I am very thankful that people are de-stigmatizing these disorders! The thing about cyclothymia is that it’s a strange form of bipolar because the manic episodes are very short lived. For me specifically, I live in a constant state of persistent depression, but sometimes I have hypomanic episodes that may last anywhere from a few hours to two days, but never longer than that. Because of this I was incorrectly diagnosed with PDD for a while but now I have the correct diagnosis and can properly get help. To be honest, although cyclothymia is classified as a “rare” disorder I truly believe it is much much more common than people think.

A recent diagnosis I have had is Pyscho NonEpileptic Seizures (PNES). I am rare that I live with both PNES and Epilepsy. This could be a good video to do.

Can schizophrenia really be caused by drug abuse or is the person born with it and abusing/using illicit drugs bring it out? Ps this lady has a nice voice.

As someone with High-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD and depression, thank you so, so much for this… I’m so damn tired of people telling me to just ‘cheer up’ or ‘just give it time’ when it’s not something I can turn on and off, it’s not a fucking light switch and it’s not like I chose to be depressed or weird I’m just like this

there was this person who texted me that she told her cousin she has depression, and then started a argument with me saying that I don’t have problems and that only she does because she had depression. When I asked her if she is even diagnosed with it, she went on to tell me that you can’t be diagnosed with depression.😀

Recommend this video for everyone

I on lived a terrible life with my OCD. It impacted my life hard, and I loved with it for 3 years or many longer. But I never told anyone, until my parents figures or out.
Let this be a message to you all: always tell someone about this kind of stuff!

Make a video about schizotypal

Adhd

Where is Borderline? I

I have a friend who's both schizophrenic and has OCD as well. I love her so much. Hearing about all the painful experiences and misunderstandings she's had with both friends and family in her past really makes my heart ache, but it's true😢. I'm glad she's in a better place now and that awareness of these things is being spread out bit by bit

I don’t think they should include only 6 invisible disabilities/metal disorders, there are others like autism, adhd, add, anxiety and more

what’s also incredibly important is to know that there are different types of these disorders and everyone experiences them in different ways, which is probably why we take in assumptions about them that may look completely different from your type of that disorder.
all a disorder/disability means is that your brain works differently and you might struggle with things that other people might not and you might find some things really easy that others find really difficult.

a disorder is NOT and NEVER will be a choice, either you were born with it or you have developed it over time.

you should always remember these inspiring quotes and remember you are only human <3

‘Not all disabilities are visible’

‘It’s not a disability, it’s a re-ability’ (applies only to autism, adhd, add)

Can someone tell me, idk what it's called but i often feel like my heart aches every time i immagine or think abt ending my relationship with my gf, like being stung by needle gently grasped and squeezed, and it worsens when i exhale. It really hurts since now i broke up with her. It's getting worse.

my friend said that she was depressed because her mother didn't gave her a mobile phone later said that she said that she had cancer just because a little hairfall does she have adhd or she just wants to centre of attention

I actually don't think Schizophrenia is that misunderstood.
People do acknowledge it's seriousness, and don't disrespect it.
A Schizophrenian will never be told "just stop hallucinating", or things like that. Unlike other mental disorders, like depression or anxiety, where other people just tell you: "just stop being sad" Or "just stop overthinking".
It isn't the case with Schizophrenia.
The general public actually acknowledges how it's a severe nearly untreatable mental ilness, and people usually don't encourage the person with their advices.
I don't think Schizophrenia is a widely misunderstood condition.

As a person with depression people will tell me “just be happier” it’s so mischievous more than that. If I could be happier I totally would. Another misunderstood disorder is misophonia. It’s becoming more understood and there is a lot more recent information on it lately. And I’ll tell people I don’t like some sounds and they really bother me and they just say” oh a ton of peop,e don’t like chewing “ it’s not just that it’s pretty much all sounds humans make other than talking, singing, or humming for me. And it makes you want to hurt the person doing it or just break down. Some people are more sensitive to more sounds and others less but a ton of peop,e don’t have it.

As someone with a few of these disorders myself, I can confirm this is what it feels like. For example, if I'm having a panic attack and start worrying about the smallest things, people always get confused and say "get over it". Same thing with my depression. People say "Why are you so sad? You have no reason to be!" And I believed it. So anyone out there with any disorders, just know you are supported by many people, and that people who say things like this should be ignored as best you can and that talking to someone always helps!❤❤❤

Difference in bipolar type 1 and 2.. besides hospitalization needs bipolar type 1 have mixed states. You can have mania, depressed and depressed mania. Hold on tight for that last 1!

There is a few other like Parkinsons, Dimenia, ADD, ADHD, Torrents Syndrome, Autism

You guys should make a part two to this video and include phobias and eating disorders because they're both highly misunderstood.

i have ocd so i wanted to ask my friend what he thought he meant
he said it was just about being perfect and that offended me a bit because he doesnt understand what it is really like

Tbh my teachers shouting at me for talking and I got adhd and every time I talk they scream at me

I JUST REALIZED THE TREE LOGO IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE A BRAIN OMMGGGGGGG

the fact that "stop being dramatic" is what I say to myself always....goood self talk lmaaaaao

Could u do one about misophonia?

I'm struggling, but thinking about it i'm probably not bipolar- can somebody help me?? Like a video thats easy to understand for my autistic self, like bordlerline/bipolar, and aspd?? I have no idea what i have 😭

I suffer from Depression but I was just

Remember everyone, OCD isn't just the obsession with cleaning, it's simply the ultimate procrastination

I HATE HOW PEOPLE THINK DEPRESSION IS A JOKE IN INDIA

OCD is really misunderstood. I’ve been diagnosed since I was 11, it’s really hard to deal with. I hate when people say the have ocd when they clean 1 thing.

Autism and ADHD are Neurodivergent; Neurodivergenta and Neurotypical are Not Mental Disorders

Oh my god people are so freakish stupid.

Sometimes I get confused and tend to get distracted when the question is long or has blanks or when the answer choices are long or have other symbols

Schizophrenia is not recovered from if you get it at an early age you are spreading misinformation

I searched up on your channel for signs of Neuroticism and there weren’t any☹️ please make a video on it please!

Im just autistic i just want to be accepted by my school.......

Everyone in 5th grade: “I have adhd once I forgot where my phone was” “I have anxiety I was to nervous to do a cannon ball once” “im autistic because sugar makes me crazy” “ I have add because im lazy” I have dyslexia because I messed up a word in my book” I have mood disorder because I got mad at my friend” “I have seasonal depression because I got sad today”
Me with all that: 😑

U forgot about autism but ok

I'll be 17 this year and knowing that my family has a heavy mental illnesses history especially schizophrenia and knowing i have the schizophrenic gene kinda makes me paranoid bc generally people get their first psychotic crisis (?) Between 16 and 30

I agree. As someone who had OCD when I was 6, I was honestly not a neat-freak—AT ALL. But I have this urge to make everything equal, especially how things are aligned or else I’ll feel paranoid.

I have OCD (symmetry OCD)and an OCD if fearing rust/ feophobia I also have althaiophobia, depression many more coz I live a very chaotic life and being backstabbed many times, and I hate those people who say in the internet that OCD is like:

I hate you your pencil aren't on rainbow arrangement

Like WHAT?!! that's not what ocd is

thank u for including mdd and bipolar disorder in here. these were the ones i was hoping to see. ik many people who have mdd and i have bipolar disorder. so commonly misunderstood. it’s so stupid

Feel like maybe ADHD shoulda been on here instead of DID. DID is stigmatised and misunderstood but ADHD is much more widespread and also incredibly misinformed and stigmatised

Chrono fatigue is also extremely misunderstood, people always tell me “just go to bed earlier” “I’m tired too” “that’s the same as burnout, I have that” no, it doesn’t work that way, chronic fatigue doesn’t go away no matter how much sleep you get (hence the word CHRONIC) and burnout is completely different but I don’t know how to explain it. With chronic fatigue you can even get out of bed, just lifting an arm can be impossible to do

I suffered from mental illness (severe sleep disorder)since 9 years old. Diagnosed for depression in my 20's. I became partially paralyzed in my 30's. Now the death my neurons spine and brain (ALS) will eventually kill me with organs failure.

I new ocd, did and mdd was gonna be there, especially ocd since a lot of ppl fake that they have ocd😞😞

Sometimes when I tell people about different disorders and conditions they say that They do it too or maybe they have that disorder... 😒 This is very irritating because they think that having a common thing with that disorder means they have it too 😕

I have MDD specifically melancholic depression, GAD, & STPD. I struggle really hard not to let these things impact my life too hard & I have no idea what to do. My poor boyfriend is trying his best to help me & I have a few friends. & for the first time I’m not entirely alone & that really scares me
