- This historical medical film makes the claim that insulin is effective for all forms of schizophrenia. Also presented is combined insulin and metrazol shock therapy, for when one type of shock therapy just isn't enough. Filmed in New York
I feel weird and scared as fuck but cant stop watching it
After the horrors of the treatment itself, I do feel a bit of happiness to see some patients smiling at the end. Didn't mean they were okay exactly. The treatment wasn't dropped until the 60s or so. But it was nice to see them happy for a moment.
Happy for a moment! They are just relieved they're still alive and not suffering the incredible death like feeling of being in an insulin reaction. Ask a type one diabetic, like myself. Absolutely disgusting.
They never dropped ECT, it’s very common practice for severe, medication resistant depression. They do, however, knock you out with some sort of paralytic that makes the experience not as terrifying and painful. The staff performing ECT’s are now trained to ensure patients are comfortable. Many people alleviate depression symptoms for months and sometimes even years using ECT. I am considering it for myself, with treatment resistant depression and PTSD for which i have been on every kind of med i can be on for it and none of them work for more than 6 months, seems like my last option. Or ketamine!
It’s still done today and it does have effects.
It might have been more effective than current methods. Its brutal, but the Ilness they try to treat is more brutal and it lasts a lifetime.
@@jacolynparkerJust micro dose some shrooms your thinking a lil irrational don't you think😬
This is completely messed up. I had a great uncle who was scziopranic. My oldest daughter is type 1. She needs insulin and I don't get why they would inject a non diabetic person with insulin. It can kill them. No wonder why that one person is in a coma. Thank God they have advanced in medicine and mental health issues
The Insulin Shock Therapy for Schizoprenia is way too barbaric, unethical and too risky to practice nowadays. It could definitely lead to neurological damage and death as a result from irreversible or prolonged coma. Good thing that the Medicine has evolved and they’ve been now using Neuroleptics/Antipsychotics and Mood Stabilizers to control Schizophrenia.
While watching the video, couldn’t help but cringe. They’ve been loading the patients with 160units of insulin injection without even having an Intravenous access nor Nasogastric Tube as routes to stabilize the blood glucose. Totally shaken to the core! 😯😲😱
dangerous coma-inducing foolishness is correct.
Though "cringe" is not to used while they tried their best
Yeh they are stimulating a seizure to create brain damage. It was a cheap lobotomy
In future, people might say back then they were use neuroleptics for schizophrenia how horrible
@@huwballbot3978, critics of psychiatry suggest that due to the highly invasive nature of insulin coma therapy like other ineffective and mutilating procedures such as lobotomy, transorbital leucotomy, electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) and barbiturate-induced coma, those were all abolished and discarded with the advent of modern research techniques and a new understanding of what constitutes proper and reliable evidence.
We doubt it that in the future they would eliminate the use of Neuroleptics. The use of Pharmacotherapy such as Neuroleptics in Scizophrenia have been found to be very cost-effective, non-invasive, non-traumatic and ultimately non-barbaric. It is indeed by far the best and ethical way to treat Schizophrenia ever since it has been invented and would definitely still continue to use it in the future.
This scares me as a diabetic that has had many hyperglycemic moments. The mental and psychical pain are brutal and that is long before coma. You automatically have dread and the full belief that you are going to die, which makes the use of insulin terrifying but you know that if you don't give yourself those shots you will die.
After the first time, these people know what is coming and it's worse than death. I will never understand how this was ever meant to help, given the mental state it puts you in. I bet many people play pretended that they were better just to never have this happen again. I have researched and studied psych since 2007 when I went to college to study it but after 3 years, my health had severely declined and I had to stop going but I never stopped learning.
In the May of 2021, my daughter graduated University with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and this Momma is hella proud. I do not live through my daughter and she could have studied anything she wanted and yet, she chose this. Blessed Be to all )0(
lol..
I was just thinking the same thing, I am diabetic also and I can’t even imagine, my gosh that could have killed them
this motivates me to pursue psychology in the future. I pray for an acceptance letter from the university that I am applying so that I can start working on my dream. ✨
I hope you treat patients better than this.
@@tellienatan5991 this video is from the 1930s anyway, it's apparent that treatments now would be more ethical, and less lethal/ damaging.
Good luck, OP. Hope your dream comes true, and hope you will be one of those that will change the world of psychology
@@tellienatan5991 we have more ethical ways to treat patient at this current generation. We have barbiturates, anti-depressant medications (serotonin reuptakes inhibitors) and less barbaric versions of seizure-inducing therapies in form of medication, ECT and transcranial magnetic stimulation.
@@Blunts_and_cunts I said most. Insulin shock therapy is illegal in most places. I never said all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Poor lady. I just wanted to hug her.
Me too
Those poor people man... I hope that they're no longer suffering wherever they are.
They all seemed rather jolly munching away at the end. 😂😂😂😂
160 units of insulin would kill a beast of a man that just ate all the pies.
I felt uncomfortably dizzy after seeing that seizure.
Barbaric. Horrific. That poor woman 😢
Makes me think of my Auntie who lived and died in a notorious institution in my country. I'm trying to get access to her medical records.
were you able to get them?
@@SoulyV2 Thanks for your question, not as yet. It's my goal to get her complete medical history. Currently preparing to move home so life has got busy. Once I'm settled I will try. Ula (my Auntie) is in my thoughts every day.
@@sylvain123 i have very high hopes for you, don't give up :)
Which institution? If i may ask
I have some questions, was that woman in a catatonic state? The treatment was intended to remove her from the catatonic state
Frightening but the date on this cannot be correct if this was filmed in NYC at the Central Islip State Hospital. Dr. Meduna first used the metrazol (Cardiazol) shock treatment in his clinic in January 1934 in Hungary. He only published his first papers on this new treatment in 1935 and it's widely understood that both it and insulin shock treatment were first introduced in the US in 1936. Combining the treatments was first tried in 1938, which was the same year that the first electric shock treatments were being used on patients in Italy. The first electric shock treatments were administered in NYC in early 1940 and soon, the metrazol shock treatment was abandoned.
You could be right, the dates given with the films are often incorrect. I will try to look into it further
I am impressed by your knowledge sir
Não tem tradução para o português?
I feel terrified... Specially at 6:08
I can’t understand for the life of me as to why they would watch someone convulsing like that and think it’s helpful. I understand that that didn’t have the technology that we have but it just seems like common sense to me. Idk
Well some people saw the mentally ill as nonhuman so they would basically be used for "scientific research"
Do you know which hospital it is in NYS?
Central Islip State Hospital
Did they teach future therapists in the sixties that insulin induced comas are good?
The man at 5:00 seems to be screaming, very fucked up how they just swing his arm around and go to the next one
Looks like torture to me
All beginning measures of medical was BARBARIC, this is just a reminder. Xxo
They where allmost hitting the nail on the head with this one. It brutal, but they did.
The way the doctors handle these patients… like force showing her seizing face to the camera
omg how animalistic.
This is surprising. This really scares The living daylight's out of me. I mean what? What was the point of putting a person into a coma ? Why? Just why ?
♡
Meal time is 👍👍👍
Horrific. They gave that girl a seizure. Insulin for mental health. Comes. Jesus😊
هذول شباب ماته ولا مزالهم احياء
Insulin is sugar levels
NO!
Looking at these films makes my head hurt what I did not understand was that I was just not sent back to Russia but again king Faisal was to of come back and picked me up? And that we was going back to Saudi Arabia to do the real estate developments of the integration of The Line of our Liner City's Lines religious medical integration program to make Saudi Arabia the medical capital of the world other than Alabama had the world of went full medical some people may not of come to a untimely death! Or even had i been sent back to Russia to make Russia and China the medical capital of the world and had we of religiously medically integrated under integration over segeration they would of been more farms land because of the population growth but after electric shocks reprogramming therapy i simply could not remember and was having mental difficulties and I guess that the 3 bus loads of king Faisals orphans that integrated florence ala was also having mental difficulty from there electric shocks reprogramming therapy that even they could not remember there real names that was sealed by Howell Heflin Doug Jones and Jeff secession offices so that they would never find out from where they was really from?
interesting
SANCTIONED TORTURE
This is barbarian I am T1D & this is torture
Seeing how the serfs work the ground, is she?
Omg they are all so drugged up like zombies 😢
just like epilepsy zeizure
I still feel schizophrenia is more of a confused thought disorder. With major ocd.
Yes, the confused thoughts come from an overactive and imbalanced mind. Their minds are moving too fast to relay the correct messages clearly.
Barbaric
Disturbing
Stunning. Not really in a good way.
This Snuff As Hell
Mentally ill in the 1930's when there was no cure, that's why they decided to blame the mothers back then.
There is no cure now either for the heavy stuff (Schizophrenia and Bipolar). At least in the traditional treatment route.
Dr. palmer, a psyciatrist, has been treating it by having patients eat low or no carb diets.
That doesnt seem very human! Absolute disgrace for the doctors who done this to human being!
Medical knowledge was primitive - they were not maliciously treating them
Goes to show how hormones play a huge role in mental health.
So sad what people go through.
How does this show that?
Today I saw a lady in a black gown standing in front of me. But i know it wasn't real it was my perception. I was a bit scared but not really. I didn't focus on it because i really dont care. But if I had ocd of it might be different
I heard they use this to erase traumatic memories in trauma based mind control.
Look into MK ultra
Wtaf
the patients that I have seen from various videos undergoing this treatment look already lost so maybe this is treatment is only their last resort
I couldnt climax to this, youtube algorithmn is unsound in its infantile state.
Böyle tedavi mi olur yahu? Allah'ım beni müslüman bir memlekette Müslüman olarak yarattığın için hamd olsun
This was in the 1930s. And religion doesn’t have anything to do with that
