Some people love ASMR & some people loathe noises. It’s an actual disorder. I loathe it. They need to either move the mic or change something. You can not, not hear her every time she swallows.

    People leave out the siblings. When siblings grow up sharing bedrooms, they are the most intertwined. You literally know everything about each other. Siblings let each other know things and talk about things that would never be known or talked about with grandparents and parents. Yet, continually siblings are rarely mentioned during grieving of a lost child.

    I have this over an abortion I had in 2008. This is messed up, but I feel more hurt and distressed about it now than about my Dad who died a year ago. And I LOVED my Dad. But for some reason, I cant get over it. I was forced into it, not ready and now I have no idea what to do about it. She would be 13 today. I think about the day she would have been born. I don't feel like it was my choice. I don't know how to heal. Its like it happened last week.

      My mom talked a doctor into giving me an abortion at age 16. I missed my period and told her. I ended up in the doctors office not understanding why his "exam" was taking so long. The nurses eyes were huge as she was looking at me and down at what he was doing. Even though at the time I didnt know what he did I afterward became so depressed I was almost suicidal. My mother did nothing to help or consol me. Today doctors tell me they can see an abortion cut scar. I try not to blame myself for being stupid and trusting her. I know this is not what you went tbrough but I thought it might help that you are not alone. I would have wanted to keep my baby too.

    IMHO we need to get away from using the term "disorder" Anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADH, PTS etc. are self explanatory. Yes, everything is on a continuum and those that seek treatment are often at one end of the continuum, however, i think it also prevents people from seeking help because they wait until they think it is bad enough to be a "disorder." It also pathologizes, in some cases, differences in neurocircuitry and even typical reactions to atypical or traumatic events. What are your thoughts?

    • @agirlhasnomoney
      @agirlhasnomoney 2 роки тому +3

      I agree VERY MUCH!! So glad people are talking about this problem in the system now, because it urgently NEEDS to be addressed. I'm a therapy student and going through the DSM manual worried me and some others soooo much as to how easily was atypical behavior labeled as a full disorder!! We all carry some symptoms here and there. None of us are symptom-free. When that cluster of symptom becomes bigger or if someone already has it bigger we move forward/place higher on the continuum you're talking about. Sometimes it becomes big enough for a syndrome. Which again, is NOT a disorder. Across many cultures, having some syndromes is accepted, not pathologized, because under many of these conditions people still function fully within their daily lives, albeit with a few glitches. And they're able to continue functioning BECAUSE of the normalization, understanding and support. Under the American mental health systems however, these are "disorders". This is very damaging to neurodiversity and its acceptance. People are unique and beautiful and prone to different sorts of problems on different elevation levels. And having problems doesn't make somebody automatically problematic. The problem is the problem, the person is not the problem. So yes, the term 'disorder' should now be replaced with 'syndrome', for MANY (not all) conditions listed under the DSM. The severity should definitely be taken into account. And thank you for all your great work Doc!! 👍🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽

      @TheDoogieT I'm so sorry for your experience. Its terrible anyways but 19 is too young for that. When I moved to Canada, I developed a skin allergy of some kind and I went to see the doc. He just asked me if I'm allergic to any meds and I said no. He prescribed me a capsule to take every day for 10 days. I started on it and things became better BUT my mental health started declining and gradually I started feeling horrible and getting bad dreams. One night I felt like banging my head on the bed headboard and the next day I thought u know what, this is berzerk!! I need to look into the meds, and so I googled the name. I came across various tests done on the drug and results showed it made subjects suicidal after a while!!! Ofc I immediately stopped it. I cannot stress enough how much the American and Canadian pharma, medicine and psychiatry systems are built to be harmful to people's health! Labeling people, discarding them and pumping drugs into their systems to only treat symptoms is so common. Common example, if a young female gets acne, they're immediately put on birth control pills, which in turn, mess up their hormonal systems completely in the longer run. This is totally irresponsible and money-controlled! Gets me mad every time. Anyways, I send best wishes to you and your friend. Tc

    • @agirlhasnomoney
      @agirlhasnomoney 2 роки тому

      @TheDoogieT Yes, I get you. People won't believe it because they also want to be symptom-free. Nobody has the time to understand what's REALLY happening inside the body, coz everyone's got to make a living and run with life. Until and unless someone has catastrophic side effects or other problems emerging with a drug, they believe their medical practitioner because "hey, that's what they're there for, right? Why would they want me all messed up?" And after all its just a small pill! It's hard to explain the concept of total wellness and mental hygiene being tied into medical prescriptions we put into our physical bodies. Thanks for the suggestion, will definitely check it out. I need to also finish the book "Crazy like us" about how the American mental health systems and DSM etc. "exported" their definitions of mental health and illness all across the world to different cultures, creating conditions that didn't even exist before in those cultures. Insane, right? These topics go wayyyyy deeper than what meets the eye. Media cultures of fast money, fast food, fast gratification, fast entertainment, sex and power make sure everyone is brain dead to even pay attention to these things. Sigh.

    Thank you so much I have been researching trying to find out information on this. Your video is definitely one of the most explanatory. The fact that it also does not only happen with death is very helpful after years of suffering I have just been diagnosed with this Disorder and it has been getting worse, before I knew what I was suffering from along with PTSD.
    I have tried so many therapies and meds. I’m hoping that since this is a new diagnosis more attention will be given to help heal this very debilitating condition and therapies that work.
    I would love for you to do a series on this since there are so many layers. And include modules of therapies teaching people to heal would be a big help and other resources.

      I wish the term grief would not only refer to the physical death of another person. A person close to you can have a sudden personality change where they no longer are supportive and can even be contrary or abusive to you. It is like the person "died" but you now have to deal with this "new person" for life. The grief can be unbearable.

    Resentment exhausted. Death of a cherished dog & CAT ETC.

    I lost my 38 year old daughter to an overdose and less than a year later my husband of 46 years died. This happened 3 years ago. I was diagnosed with trauma and PTSD and prolonged grief. I did not feel like this when both parents and a sister died previously. I continue to feel devastated and get triggered easily feel my purpose in this life is gone. I have had a stroke and bladder tumor surgery and could care less. My memory is dream like and I just don't care. I feel like you want to downplay the prolonged grief disorder. I've also been divorced and had a miscarriage and this doesn't come close. The youth probably are losing friends and family shot senselessly. I just feel like I'm being discounted.

      I am so sorry that you have had so much loss in your life. The grief seems cumulative. There is no amount of stress management practices or "new interests" that can take the places of your daughter and your husband. Thank you for sharing. I hope and pray that you will find the strength to take care of yourself.

    Thank you for this, Doc. I think the current criteria for this diagnosis is WAY too narrow (or whatever the proper term is). I’m suffering what I consider prolonged grief from an utterly devastating divorce. He dropped the D-bomb on me in July 2011 and I’m STILL grieving. I feel dumb about it but it isn’t like I’m choosing to be like this. *sigh*
    Anyhoo, big hugs from 808 State

    • @kimlassiter1603

      This is way too narrow. People have prolonged grief for many reasons. Divorce, parental alienation (severe pa is just like the death of a child), loss of home resulting in homelessness, etc. Death in life is something that we all know and expect to happen at some point. Other live altering traumas can blindside a person, and are not expected in everyone’s life.

    Is it prolonged grief disorder if I feel like I died after I moved somewhere new? I’ve felt like crap since I moved away from my hometown at age 14. I’m 22 now. Haven’t been able to live correctly since. I was always anxious and depressed but my life has straight up been on hold since early 2015.

    How does this work for Parental Alienation? I have not seen my daughter then (13 now 15) for 2 years the anniversary was the 30th last month. I just found out yesterday that the court case is now extended to this November. This has moved 6 times. In the past 2 years. Nobody here in the local Seattle area recognizes parental alienation. Not the law nor the mental health. This includes Children's hospital...
    I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety. Then depression and now PTSD.

      @@kimlassiter1603 I am so sorry. My daughter did the same to me. She filed an A&B charge on me. She lied under oath. Her sperm donor backed her up. It has literally driven me crazy. I go back and forth between contacting her by mail and no contact due to what she's done to me. They say the child is not to blame, but it is so hard everyday. I will keep you in my thoughts.

    I am glad they finally added this. My dad died when I was 4 and my mom never truly recovered from her grief. I also struggled with this until my mid 20s. I could write a book on what prolonged grief looks like.
    I also think that prolonged grief from a death is different than any other grief so don’t think we should be clumping other losses in with death loss. Miscarriage is a death, imo, but divorce and other losses are not.

    When you loose your spouse who you love is traumatic no matter what the cause how death occurred. You never can prepare for it. It changes how life is forever not just for a brief period.

    • @DocSnipes
      @DocSnipes  2 роки тому

      This is true, it is just whether the person experiencing the trauma ends up developing PTSD in addition to grief or prolonged grief.

    Hey Doc Snipes! Maybe a focus on how Western culture has a phobia of death would be helpful for people to understand. Death is natural and is really a beautiful thing too.

    All bereaved parents are going to be then diagnosed with prolonged grief disorder. This is pathologizing a normal experience because it’s a “disorder” and in DSM VTR . I’ve just been diagnosed with PTSD, next will be Prolonged Grief Disorder, followed by Complicated Grief. In essence, all of these are absolutely normal things for a mother whose child died. Lost my daughter on 10/2/21 from glioblastoma. She went from fine to gone in 8 weeks, she passed at home, on hospice, in my arms. I am ok with all of this because I understand you need to bill for services but I find it a bit silly because a) my feelings are normal and b) all of these diagnoses overlap and, in that, they are meaningless. In terms of meds and therapy, or how can you help us depending on which diagnosis we have is also the same so, I guess at the end it doesn’t really matter which of these diagnoses is picked as THE ONE or whether they are co-morbid, like I anticipate they will be in my case. I am also a former refugee with trauma from being in a civil war for 4 years and then was uprooted and had to adjust to live and function in a new world in the US. Revising DSM is OK when truly new discoveries are made that will add more clarity and more effective/different treatments but in these 3 are find that the revision is adding to confusion and unnecessary complexity that’s not really meaningful. You touched on many of these anyway, so appreciate the video.

    I think if the person has a dissociative disorder that would prolong it greatly. If the dissociation is great maybe they can't recover.
