Vintage Psychiatric Interview | Chronic Hallucinatory Psychosis and Paranoid Delusions
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 гру 2020
- Subtitled in English. The case presented is a good example of an abnormality of thought content, while the thought process appears undisturbed. The patient experiences auditory and olfactory hallucinations in the context of persecutory delusions, yet is able to convey this to the psychiatrist in an organized manner.
It's aggravating how many of the people posting comments here are absolutely clueless about how significant this woman's problems are. She is not "hearing her neighbors" in her building; she is hallucinating critical or mocking voices directed at her, which is a very common symptom of schizophrenia. There is no gas leak in her apartment, nor are smells coming in from the trash chute - these also are hallucinations. People are looking at her well-groomed appearance and hearing her calm voice and assuming there's nothing wrong. Unfortunately, there is.
People commenting think that everyone is 'normal' unless you eat shit or rip money.

Because people without licence have no right to assume and have an opinion and critical thinking is bad
@@nadMoZzzg Over 40 years ago, a bipolar friend underwent a significant mental breakdown with hallucinations and delusions. Fortunately, another friend got me to assist in getting her back to her family for treatment. Meanwhile everyone else who knew her was denying anything was wrong and claiming she always acted that way. After I experienced that episode, which was quite unsettling to me, I realized that people will either misinterpret mental illness or will just deny it by making up excuses or justifications for what the unbalanced person is doing and saying. That's what commenters here are doing as well.
She seems highly intelligent and aware that something is wrong, it's just sad that she can't seem to determine the source on her own.
The scariest part of this interview is that to many of us, she sounds perfectly normal, and yet psychiatric diagnosis is there, and it seems it could happen to anyone, which can be very manipulative..... that frightens me more than hallucinating. I think she is suffering from overwork and loneliness.
Just because they labeled her doesn't mean they were right. Wouldn't doubt if completely wrong.
After watching something like this I can only imagine to think that there is probably many more people who experience this type of sickness than is realized.
Those symptoms are a sign of paranoia due to mental illness.
My friend complains there is always a smell that makes her sick. Her food is poison, and tv talks to her. And thinks people follow her. She also has ocd very bad. And is very bitter she's alone and says why am I alone wh e n everyone else marries or have children. She refuses medicine. So nothing I can do to help her.
These subtitles are very accurate. Thank you!!
This woman is beautiful for her age, it’s actually quite crazy
Le cerveau humain est vraiment incroyable, c’est dingue de se dire qu’il peut modifier, tromper la perception des sens jusqu’au point au cela devienne une réalité pour le concerné.
very well said. trés bien. 🌷🌱
It truly is incredible. I saw paranoid schizophrenia from the other side when going through Benzodiazepine withdrawal cold turkey. I was insane for about 4 months. It was nightmarish. Like being locked inside your brain with an unknown madman.
I think shes pretty normal....talks politely, softly spoken, answers every question, only thing for me is that she almost never blinks the entire video
Yeah I noticed that also. Red flag.😂
She does have delusions and other schizophrenia symptoms like persecution complex, hallucinations and suspiciousness.
She is indeed able to convey this to the psychiatrist in an organized manner just like the video description says but she is not well.
Her delusions are also associated with the current events in her surroundings and her country.
She is talking about people gossiping about her going out with arabs.
Perhaps this was in the news/agenda - migration from the Arabic countries.
People with schizophrenia often show this symptom: persecution mania and hallucinations stemming or associated with what’s in the news especially if it’s something sensationalist and/or sensitive.
For instance in Russia in the beginning of the nineties some people with schizophrenia had hallucinations and persecution complex associated with aliens because there was a lot of interest to aliens and some esoteric matters in the society.
So people with schizophrenia would claim they once were abducted by aliens or something of this sort.
And while it’s clear that aliens could not abduct anyone as we don’t know if they even exist, it’s much easier to say that person with such a delusion is unwell.
But if or when the delusions feel more true to life it’s harder to tell if that person is unwell, especially if one is not a psychiatrist.
@D I am not going to discredit you and I know that victims of abuse can suffer from various forms of psychological instability like ptsr for instance.
I am also aware of cases when people were institutionalized just for being “uncomfortable” for their societies, communities and/or families.
However, some disorders occur regardless of the environment, sadly.
Sometimes people are born with them, due to genetics, for instance.
And such disorders manifest just later in life.
Sometimes due to certain triggers (traumatic situations or physical injury).
Here we only see a part of the story.
It’s the interview.
And the interview does show some common features of schizophrenia in the interviewed person :(
She also describes being able to hear voices - men and women, at work and at home that she states she can’t find the source of and she doesn’t even question where the voices are coming from or why…
She is obviously high functioning. I am no psychiatrist so I won’t debate on her condition; I only hope that she wasn’t put on any treatment that would only aggravate her mental state, like strong opiates or electroshocks. I have seen that with a friend: more meds = more intense mental disorders.
She needed calmative treatment and a more fulfilling lifestyle.
The picture at the beginning is scary.
I love her Parisienne French. Must have had a rough life, WW2 and being a woman alone must have been hard. Cool lady, bet she was a fan of Edith Piaf in her day.
Sadly there were no questions about her relationship with her mom and dad. I think it'll explain a lot.
She often repeats that she only hears voices in the kitchen and bathroom, but not in the bedroom. Something tells me that in her past she may have been bullied and insulted by a family members mostly in these rooms. However, she may often hid in the bedroom and felt safe there, which is why she does not hear voices there.
I also wonder what's was her relastionship with husband and kids if she had?
I guess,
that she has a mild form of schizophrenia.
this kind of disorder has nothing to do with her relationship with her mom and dad. I think the interview is brilliant.
And it's not mild. It is full blown.
As a feench I understood everything she was saying and she talks about her mother a bit.
She lived with her but she passed away 2 years ago
Psychosis is a human response to extreme distress. It is not illness. Not pathology. Please see, if you care to, Dialogue Cures for Psychotic Problems with Jaakko Seikkula. Thank you.
Her apartment smelled bad at night, so the therapist asks.. "Did you go to the police about it?"
Her experiences aren't enough basis for that sort of diagnosis. Older women who live alone and keep to themselves are commonly subjected to disrespectful, bullying behavior at work and from neighbors. Sounds and odors coming from the vents and garbage chutes in an apartment building isn't at all farfetched. Even smoke could waft through some of the shoddy systems in cheap apartment buildings. She has only had these 'symptoms' for *2-3 months,* and *only at work and inside her apartment.* But the work situation was totally different in character from what she experienced at home. She clearly stated that the voices she heard at home were not her co-workers. She didn't know who they were. So she experienced one type of very common problem at work, and a different kind of fairly common issue at home. The psychiatrists seem quick to condemn and force her into treatment. What crime has she committed? She stated that she continues to work and pay her bills, doesn't drink or do drugs or hang out in bars, probably doesn't even smoke cigarettes. So what exactly is the problem? I don't think they stated why she was hospitalized.
You have watched a 14 minutes video and you think you know better than people who knows much more about her. Don't you think other people would hear the loudly voices that comes outside her home?
You probably crazy yourself, weirdo .
Go get checked.
You know, someone once said: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.
Great comment. Very observant.
@nenomengo Who knows, maybe she does have more incite than the doctors. People who are overly observant, have a good intuition about things, or who get that gut feeling can have great incite. My mom had that, and she was always right on the money. Always
Seems pretty normal to me..works hard, family has passed or moved away so shes alone…seems like she’s been bullied so keeps to herself..taking a break in the hospital…life is hard she is a women alone yet still manages to pay her rent pay her bills.. good for her. Yet a women alone back then..really was talked about as if something was wrong with her…that sucks..
Yes, one of the characteristics of psychosis sometimes is "dysosmia" or "phantosmia" : smelling smells that no-one else does. Sometimes the smells are not too unpleasant, like the smell of fresh-cut oranges or bubblegum, but often they are offensive, like the smells of feces, vinegar or dirty feet.
Sie tut mir leid. Gerade in solchen Situationen ist es wichtig, Freunde und Familie zur Unterstützung zu haben. Ich hoffe, ihr konnte geholfen werden!
sounds just like the beginnings of dementia. i had a client who was certain her neighbors were sending over dangerous shadow animals to stalk her. she tried to shoot them, she said, knowing full well i knew she didn't have guns. i was just standing there, listening and looking at this woman who in her youth belonged to the WRENS. she just snapped one day, i watched it, and it fell apart. she was in the hallucinatory stage. i was very sad. very.
most peoples’ reactions to this interview show absolutely no knowledge of psychiatry - zilch, niente, rien! hearing voices saying very nasty things to a person is very typical, as is some paranoia. it is very disheartening in 2023 that people still know so very little about mental illness when it’s been at least 100 years since disorders have been known and studied. heck, people should have at least heard of Freud, (although thank goodness that therapy has changed and the chemistry of brain disorders is well established). please people research a little before you deign to state an “opinion”. thank you. :) 🌷🌱
psychiatry is largely a psuedoscience. Everyone can have their opinion on what's wrong here. I personally think she's having a reaction to a gas leak. All kinds of crap happens in apartment. I got sick from a propane leak in my building and it took me about 6 months to realize that's what was happening
' the 'chemistry' of brain disorders is well established? no it isn't. Maybe YOU should do some research before you put your arrogant OPINION out there. You're just spouting stuff out like it's gospel when it isn't. Very little is known about schizophrenia actually and they haven't come far in treating it
OK Professor
No wonder there is so much abuse in this industry when most jump to conclusions about people being sick, you would be surprised how dumb and petty most people working in psychiatry are, and the ones who are not are either naive sheep or no longer working there
Mommy, those men with the hats are at the window again.
I think schizophrenia but could also be tested for Dimentia
My unit have the same mental health this lady have n she almost the same age of her at that time
Yes, voices do come from radios.
If you took this clinical format and inserted a clip of Floyd the Barber from the "Andy Griffith Show," many people would assume it was legitimate. Howard McNear was a master of weird little character tics.
sounds like there was a gas leak somewhere in the building. Obviously she wasn't hallucinating that if someone else complained about it. That can make you very sick and probably hallucinate
She said very plainly that she was the only one to smell anything. It is very much a hallucination.
Now in some advanced places, psychosis is seen as what it is...a stress response.
I can never understand where ingnorance and lack of education ends and delisions start.
Has anyone ever followed the case? Do we know her name?
La señora me recuerda a Doña Clotilde (La bruja del 71) del Chavo del 8
That's funny, I had exactly the same impression in the building of my last apartment. I smelled gas, but only in the stairway, not my apartment. So I bought a detection device, it showed zero all the time. Until now, I don't know what it was. But the smell was there. She may have confused the smell of gas with some other smell. Personally, I'm 100% sure it smelled awful whatever it was, if not gas.
Im not making a very important comment, but I note that in your case, you took measures to objectively check into the problem & you don't deny the result of your dection device. You are not trapped in a specific belief. A delusion is a persistent belief _despite_ contradicting data.
Just seemed tired kind of beat down. It was tough back then as a woman and for men. No handouts back then.
Delicatessen.
She could be right... N if even a single Arab or India, Pakistan neighbours then 100% she was been going through their comments
she looks and sounds ok to me, depressed though
Like peiple that have psychotic disorders and schizophrenia can't be normal?
She is not crazy. I hear this complaint a lot.
CRAZY PEOPLES ARE MORE GOOD THAN NORMAL NOW A DAYS..THEY TEND TO BE HARMLESS THAN THAT OF NORMAL AND EXTREME RICH AND POWER FUL PEOPLES...THEY FIGHT EVERY DAY EVEN DID NT JOY THEMSELF THERE EVERY VICTORY.....SALUTE FOR THEM FROM MY BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
Staring, unblinking eyes ... creepy
Your right this is fake I believe . Humans have to blink
Can tell is ai photo shop
It's the typical schizophrenic affect.
Everyone's a doctor 😅
Mold black mold.
Does black mold send you mad??
@@desertrose1226 I believe it can.
I guess I'm nutz as well - people stare at me in the street - I can hear voices in the vents in my apartment - sometimes I can smell what seems to be gas - yup, I'm nutz!
lmao
Deez nuts!
It's the head in the freezer that gives you away not the gas.
She was probably a smoker. Makes her look older than 60.
There's nothing wrong with this woman. She was having a reaction to some allergen, mold or something. She works hard. Employees like this are often bullied. It can color you perception of other people in general.
oh stop the bull crap Greyhound Mama you have NO clue
@@Judy122550 Your reply is revealing some hostility and paranoia.
Are you a doctor? I didn't think so. You cannot say there is nothing wrong with her when you're not qualified to do so. It's just your opinion.
@@riceflowershea8748 It's just your opinion that it's just my opinion. You are not qualified to know that.
@@greyhoundmama2062 expert people have diagnosed, and she shows the common symptoms, we'd take them over a youtube comment, thank you
Maybe she just had nosy neighbors and shitty AC and trash chute
Lolll
"I am not crazy. I don't think I am."
Ahhhhhhh! Denial! That proves she IS crazy!
she is being gaslighted
She’s probably right and someone was targeting her and messing with her. She seems pretty normal
She sounds fine to me.
You don’t have to sound “crazy” to be “crazy”. Many people mask their illnesses very well.
Okay and that makes her fine?
If she's living in an apartment, it's very likely she was hearing neighbors arguing. Why is that considered hallucinatory psychosis or paranoid delusion? It seems logical that she would hear it more coming from a trash shoot if they shared one. That would certainly be frightening to a woman living alone. There is nothing wrong with this woman.
I think she is normal
Didn't you know all French Canadians are crazy ?
