even if they have a condition like schizophrenia?know that people who are at the violent peak, late adolescence, early adulthood. many of them do grow out of it. let me challenge this idea that cook would have done much more had he had an assault weapon. he killed his parents and then he called 9-1-1. it didn't matter what weapon he had. he wasn't going anywhere afterwards. whether he had an assault weapon or a shotgun, he did what he did. >> see, that's an interesting point, isn't it? he could just be saying that because i have a position on assault weapons. he might be trying to ingratiate himself in someway in my head to make me more sympathetic towards him. >> i'm sure he's trying to make sense of this and maybe, in some ways, say it could have been worse. maybe i'm not as evil a person as i thought i was. one thing he said about video games is the idea of using games to get your anger out. it seems like he wasn't entirely blaming media but also talking about how he tried to work with them, use the songs and so on. in the researc

she hadn't seen him in a long time and he had paranoid schizophrenia. they said your son is in the hospital. we arrested him on a 51/50. he was walking naked in the street in the middle of the night talking to himself. the mother and father jumped in the car and went to the emergency room and by the time they got there, the hospital had released him. i don't understand this. it's just, you know, i'm not a lawyer and i wasn't in the mental health field before, i just, i don't understand it. the qualifications and criteria for a holder extreme and they are unrealistic. a person much be imminently danger to self or others or gravely disabled before they are picked up. if your shelter is under a freeway, if he knows of a garbage can that he can frequent, he's not gravely disabled. i'm told. if your son threatens you because his mind is telling him that you poisoned him and the police come and take your son to the hospital, it's likely that if he can present himself in a reason manner because many people with mental illness can, they will release him. and th

if you have schizophrenia -- just pretend. what do you see that is different? these areas are much different, much more engaged. you might see there is a lot more blue as well in this map. look at this area. it is very different than that area, much more engaged. if you have a bipolar illness, you are different than if you have schizophrenia. they could have this illness or in this illness, those are the two most common. physicians cannot tell the difference, but mri scanners can. the legal system, i can use this instead of psychiatrists to support or are not my client has a mental illness. they would be able to inform and make decisions about how these things should be used in the legal system. what about this guy? anthony hopkins. what does his brain look like? if your behavior is completely different, your brain is going to be different. women, you know that men have different behavior. mris are capable of telling you how this gender difference is manifest. we can also study people like him. i study individuals -- if you want to look at your spousal score on

parents with down syndrome or schizophrenia, parents of criminal, parents of people who are transgenderedgies who are also quite overwhelmed >> stephen: you're dealing with some heavy stuff in this. you're dealing with heavy stuff. >> but i have to say all of these stories which appear to be so full of darkness ended up being stories that have an awful lot of light in them >> stephen: a lot of hope in here and there are parents responding in really beautiful ways to the challenges posed by children they didn't expect. hiding it from my kids so they don't see what the standard is. >> i'm hiding it from my kids too >> stephen: why do you say exceptional? why exceptional? some of these kids you would have just called special. of. >> we're trying to come up with terms all the time to define them. what is the word that conveys both this is really difficult and not what i wanted and this became the joy of my life. >> stephen: were you an exceptional child? >> i am. stephen: are you a schizophrenic or anything like that? i see no obvious exception. >> schizophrenia hasn't surfaced yet but i'm th

my mother has 60s schizophrenia since i was very young. we went through the same heart aches in terms of trying to get her into treatment and having her presented very well and having her discharged and police getting involved simply for being psychotic in a public area and going to court hearings. a very messy issue. the reason why i'm interested in this particular issue is not because i'm interested in controversy or particularly polarizing issues, but because i believe in it. i believe that laura's law outpatient treatment is a tool among many tools that we have in the mental health system to try to engage people in a recovery based way. the foundation of laura's law is a multidisciplinary team trying to engage people, trying to give them as much say in the treatment plan as they are willing to provide and when you read the description in nevada county that has it fully implemented. when you meet the people who work they are, they believe in the same things that mr. vega was mentioning, love kindness, i think that's why we all do this w

there have been some studies looking at individuals with bipolar disorders as well as skwiz schizophrenia. 40-60 percent have systems of lacking awareness. what this means is basically there is damage to certain pathways of the brain responsible for self reflection and self awareness. this has been shown in neurology for individuals after they have had strokes with particular areas of the brain that have been damaged, has also been shown for individuals with dementia and in my clinical experience and my personal experience with my family member, it's very clearly an issue in mental health as well. the dilemma is that if there are individuals who are biologically unable to self reflect and have an awareness of their illness, they oftentimes very frequently will not want to engage with treatment and do not see themselves as needing treatment. and this is beyond psychological denial, kind of realizing deep down that there is an issue but not wanting to accept it. it's also beyond simple stubbornness. it's a natural inability to realize that there may be something wrong. one particularly pert

most of the patients who got schizophrenia these days who are on the drugs go on to commit suicide i mean the most of the loss of life comes from people committing suicide one hundred years ago patients who had schizophrenia did not commit suicide but we've got five years is a hundred fold increase of the risk of death from suicide that's linked to the anti psychotics these patients are on that we didn't have before. josh would you like to reply to that david i can't be expert on this i can't argue with you i don't know the data ok mark i do agree a lot of the view that josh fisher heads that are in your face every night. really you know they're very poor taste. and i wish they would just go away but i certainly agree with both of you on that martha you want to jump in and go ahead. yes i would like to jump in now you know dr king was talking about the suicidal side effects of the and i depressants and they are psychotic are exhibit a in the united states are afghanistan and iraq. troops the suicide rate in the military is often actually one person a day and a large percentage of the

there's schizophrenia for the hallucinations and illusions and paranoia. medications work very well for some people and they don't work so well for others. now granted even when people become less symptomatic there is less psychological work to do. i mean, it is personally traumatic especially to the first break psychosis to go through this putative is just a challenge to one's identity and people read the future if this is the kind of thing i'm prone to it is an incredibly dislocating experience. from an existential standpoint. so, medication isn't the end of this. but it's often the beginning. for some conditions, medication is probably going to be completely where it's at or some sort of day intervention and those kinds. but i think -- everyone recognizes the brain enables the mind and the translation into how we can make practical use of this isn't there yet and some people do emphasize that too much in addiction for a sample the chapter i mentioned of them gyro scientist who says one day we will be treating this with a hill the way we treat pneumonia.

schizophrenia for the hallucinations and delusions and paranoia. i mean, our medications, they work. they work very well for some people. they don't work so well for others. now, granted, even when people become less symptomatic, there's still a lot of psychological work to do. i mean, it's, well, it's personally traumatic to -- especially a first break psychosis, to go through this? i mean, it's such a challenge to one's identity, and people often rethink their future. if this is the type of thing that i'm prone to, what -- i mean, it's an incredibly dislocating experience from an existential standpoint. so a medication's not the end of this. but it's often the beginning. >> host: right. >> guest: and for some conditions medication is probably going to be completely where it's at or some sort of physical intervention, and i'm thinking of alzheimer's and those kinds. but i think that everyone recognizes that the brain enables the mind. but that translation, you know, into how we can make practical clinical use of this is not there yet. and some peo

he suffers from schizophrenia. toughear putin introduced new measures including heavy fines. they say it is designed to prevent gatherings like this. >> in the years since putin's inauguration, every new law has stifle order to everyone. >> this week the european toliament has been expected sign a resolution. the kremlin denies it is said. dissent. >> israel's prime minister has compared iran to not see germany. speaking after meeting his polish counterpart, netanyahu says they would never allow another holocaust. netanyahu is on a two-day trip to poland that includes a visit to auschwitz. iran'sning for presidential election has ended. the only moderate candidate has received backing. he has also been and toured by another former president. he is facing five conservative candidates. this is now a presidential race with just five conservatives. he is in the conservative camp. he is one of the youngest commanders and the former police chief. >> the war is over, but the defense still remains. today defense should the continued in management, economy, and socially. >> his closes

mistreatment and all sorts of other things that are not medical strictly speaking that goes into schizophrenia but make that distinction and focus resources there what that would mean is therapist like me would have to detach ourselves from the medical model and make less money. but you cannot have it both ways and we do. we have it both ways i am by 18 really hard that hand that feeds me. the i try not use this method and have people pay me directly but we make less money and we would be less medical and have less prestige but that may be okay was that cynical? [laughter] did you have something you wanted to say? >> talking about the influence to talk about the unexpected consequences that were formed is it analogous? >> absolutely one of the things that will have been is with the real popular diagnosis is that it starts to frame the way that you think about patients one of the things that happened is i was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and i found that powerful in terms of power thought of myself but also started to frame the way how we thought about people coming to see me and no

when he think of brain disease, you think of a condition like multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, alzheimer's disease, parkinson's, the conditions that can't be modified by a person's desire to make themselves well. that is one of many reasons why i thought it the brain disease auto was misleading because it implied as a condition like others that are involuntary and there is an involuntary dimension. i certainly don't mean people can stop in the middle. it's easy to stop another crack binge and walk away. not at all. it is soul wrenching for people to quit a bad addiction. but it is misleading to call it a brain disease for that reason. also when i think of some thing as an affliction of the brain, the material brain, physical brain, we think the key word is medication or some sort of intervention along those lines. and also it's not helpful, just practically speaking it is not the helpful level of analysis to think about addiction. there's no addiction to place out in the rain it's fascinating research about elements of memory and desire and motivation that is all very, very powerful and re

. >> yeah, it is sort of the schizophrenia of the republican party.is not just right now, but sort of been there since the very beginning. government is too big, involved in all aspects of our life. but if you're a woman who wants choice over her own body and her own health care, well, government must be involved in th that. if you are -- if you are a same-sex is couple and want your government to treat you equally under the law like everybody else, well, no you can't do that. government must be involved in this. so this schizophrenia that ted cruz is wonderfully displaying when it comes to the irs, he is just living the republican dream for lack of a better description. >> he is living out the republican dream for all of us, jonathan capehart, and ezra klein, thank you. >>> thank you. >>> and what they're using to grind the government to a screeching halt. how they will keep the democrats from using it, if the republicans ever get back in power. . and a 30-tablet free trial. vo: i've always thought the best part about this country is that we get to c

we just had another psa called schizo, learning about schizophrenia and he was able to an entire day to stand in front of the camera, looking to the high day i've been living with schizophrenia for 11 years. he actually has that, i think my brain is healing. but he is somebody who says, it took me 10 years of learning about it, of fighting, learning this little moment of clarity is real. everything else is it real. maybe i have 10 minutes of clarity and you cling to that. incredibly courageous way. the story, my sister's story, people we all know when mr. are what will it as together a country and one community to the next. >> adam secretary, i think it is important to recognize that people at the gravitas of it going close -- glenn close, bradley cooper, people changing how they speak about mental health issues can have an enormous impact in what they produce and shaping attitudes toward tomorrow. we appreciate people like glenn who's willing to step out, like radley, to change attitudes by what they see on television, by what they see at the movies and that's a very powerful tool a

and, so, this is an issue of parity and not charity because severe mental illness, schizophrenia, bipolarorder, psychotic depression is a brain disorder that requires at times acute inpatient skilled nursing care. and to say that we have enough beds while raising the bar for admission is disingenuous and dangerous and i want to remind you that we do not want a tragedy to happen in our city. so, you cannot talk out of both sides of your mouth. thank you. >> thank you. let me just remind members of the public to please keep comments to discussions that have not yet happened at public comment and, so, in particular i know there are a number of individuals who did come to observe the cpmc hearings. if you want to speak about public and mental health issues in general, that is permissible, but not specifically referencing cpmc. thank you. next speaker. >>> hello, my name is susan baronstein and i'm with san francisco [speaker not understood]. i also have a mentally ill family member who i have great commitment to and concern about. i want to raise one question here now. i don't know if it's be

i believe people can recover from schizophrenia and bipolar and psychosis and all the dsm-labeled categories. not everyone recovers, but many do and many go on to live very happy and successful lives. and even if you don't recover to what other people's standards are what they think "recovery" is, you can get to a point within your own life, you can achieve a lot of happiness. so i advocate recovery and i advocate hope, hope for a better tomorrow for ourselves, our community and our world. thank you. >> thank you very much. and i thank everyone for coming out to do your presentations. it is very much an eye-opener and thank you again. we can go on to item no. 8. information report on the golden guardian exercise on may 15, 2013, the disability perspective. presented by council members chip and denise. >> thank you, roland. there has been a miswording on agenda. this is more of an update than a report. the disaster -- disability disaster preparedness committee is meeting july 5th and we're in the process of accumulating data from the experiences of people with disabilities who participated as

eli lilly's schizophrenia drug zyprexa is being investigated by the fda after the deaths of two patients who received the drug. the drug already carries what's called a "black box" warning that alerts users to possible side effects. one such possibility is "delirium sedation syndrome," which can happen if the drug enters the bloodstream too fast. health insurer aetna apparently sees the state of california as a pre-existing condition. the insurance giant says it will no longer sell individual policies in california. 50,000 current policy holders will need to find new coverage by january. aetna has already said that it won't participate in california's insurance exchange program as part of the affordable care act reforms. elan is "on the market." royalty pharma is taking its hostile bid for the irish drug company off the table. elan put itself up for sale after royalty made an agressive push to buy the company for four months. after shareholders voted for a stock buyback, royalty withdrew its appeal with regulators. with possible blockbuster drugs in the works, elan's shareholders felt ro
