I think the show did an excellent job in depicting George’s insecurities about his condition, as you’ll see in the next few episodes. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ve made enough progress as a society to say that these insecurities would be unfounded today-they absolutely would be, given the unfortunate stigmas still surrounding mental illness. In some ways, I think the conversations this show brings up couldn’t be more timely, from racial tensions, to the subjugation of women, to LGBTQ+ lifestyles being considered unacceptable, to the lack of support for mental illnesses. It’s heartbreaking to see how little progress we’ve made as a society in all this time. Looking forward to seeing your thoughts on the remaining episodes. There’s definitely a lot to unpack in them.
This show brings up racial tensions? I noticed that the woman playing Charlotte is obviously black, and I don't understand the motivations behind the casting. Is that what the audience wants? Is that what sells now? Shonda Rhimes is the producer, I think, and I happened to attend the same undergrad institution she did, so taking that into consideration and looking at what she's said in the past, I'm going to assume it's political. I get the idea that it's a show made more to make a political statement than to be a good period drama. I'd like to see more black actors in movies, but I'd like to see stories that haven't been told before, like things that happened in Africa. There's plenty of political things to cover there, and it's easy to make the US or the UK or any other colonial power the enemy, because we were. I'd rather see those stories rather than see another version of the same old story about George III and his "madness." Shows that depict slavery as a bad thing tend to hurt the special snowflakes who can't accept that white people owned black people, treated them like shit, tortured them, and refused them anything that didn't help keep them productive in the fields.
@@briancrawford8751 Not so much a political statement, more a desire to see people who look like her in that time period while telling a good story. It's obviously not a documentary and it is based on a work of historical fiction (also known as a romance novel). Personally, I've enjoyed the series as much as I did the books because she has stayed fairly true to the spirit of the original.
I love your videos, not only as a student nurse, from a medical point of view, but I find your comments so insightful when it comes to my favourite characters that I see myself reflected in. While I have my own therapist and I go to therapy regularly, a lot of my most helpful revelations about myself have come from hearing you talk about them in relation to a fictional character I love.
Such an important point about managing a person's delusions. It was the same with dementia in the nursing home I worked at. The aim was always to de-escalate by going along with it rather than challenging it, with the final goal to make sure the resident felt safe, because often they were anxious about something, especially at night. "oh yes, your husband called the office yesterday and cleared up your hotel bill, and your mother will be here in the morning to pick you up after breakfast, so let's get you back into bed so you're well rested for your trip home"
The Porphyria theory has been generally disregarded now, with thoughts the research suggesting Porphyria was selective in its reporting of signs and symptoms. The leading theory now is that George III had Bipolar with 5 well documented manic episodes. Furthermore, it is thought he developed Dementia in the last 10 years of his life, resulting in the Regency.
Well “Farmer George” could be a delusion of grandeur. George probably has a lot of restrictions placed upon him as king. This idea of being “Farmer George” who spends all day tending to his fields and answers to no one to himself is likely a fantasy in a world where he has very little agency despite the amount of power he wields. I could be wrong but George had a panic attack when he was told about the arranged marriage, another before his wedding, and then another when he argued with his mother. All of these situations involve a situation in which he is reminded of a loss of agency.
I'm glad you're covering this because I was all kinds of confused by the show. In his brief appearance in Bridgerton, I thought he had Dementia. This show makes it look like that was not the case.
what you said about psychosis in mood disorders 'matching up' to the mood got me looking back, and i think my own hallucinations/delusions are actually the Opposite of the mood they're in? so for example, in a big depression i hallucinated clown honking noises! it made me laugh and feel 'light' for the first time in weeks, and still makes me smile now! in manic episodes i've had horrible paranoid delusions and hallucinations (alongside some nice ones!), e.g. sleeping in the bath for a week because i was convinced someone was going to break in and kill me and my family, and i needed a locked door to feel safe. it got me wondering if maybe my brain's trying to 'level me out' via psychosis? so, making me feel vulnerable when i feel powerful and immortal otherwise, or giving me a minute of happiness when i'm near my lowest. just thought this might be interesting! would love to hear your thoughts, but no pressure to reply of course! love your channel & how you share info about mental health and lgbtqia+ stuff! :D
Did the honking clown hallucination signal a mood change from depression right into mania or did you still stay depressed afterwards? Do you think your hallucinations might be signaling mood changes?
I really really loved this show and I’m excited that you’re covering it! I have Bipolar Disorder, and I recognized a lot of my own struggles with manic episodes in particular in the show. Love your insights on those aspects, it’s very validating to get your opinion! Excited to see your thoughts on the upcoming episodes
This episode was heartbreaking. It will be interesting to see what you think the final diagnosis could be because I'm not sure. I know it's an older show and it would be a huge undertaking because it's four seasons, but would you consider reacting to and analyzing Mr. Robot?
I think physicians of the time would have used whatever they had at hand to sedate the "patient," and those drugs would have been tinctures of herbs such as opium (laudanum), atropina belladona, henbane (hyoscyamus), and cannabis. Alcohol was used medicinally too, of course, good old medicinal brandy (Spiritus Vini Gallici, U.S.P.). I imagine they'd probably use quinine as well, since it was used for fevers and inflammation, and they may have seen this as a "fever of the brain." Of course, a lot of these substances could make erratic behavior and sleeplessness worse, and cannabis can cause psychosis.
Still believe that he had bipolar. His behavior is so much like mine when I'm manic and psychotic. The flight of ideas, rapid thoughts. No sleeping etc. It pains me so much, that the treatment of mental illness back then was not existing. So cruel.
I've not watched the series. Have any of the characters mentioned demons / possession as a possible reason for the king's condition? It's amazing that, even now, there are some who prefer a supernatural explanation for mental illness rather than looking for other causes.
I had an episode of mania with psychosis a few months ago. Turns out, I had had this before but never diagnosed with anything like this. My boss got involved. She didn’t need to be, I wasn’t at work and made it clear I needed to stay home. She turned up at my house and called the Police. The whole thing was a disaster. I was detained, tranquillised and hospitalised. I was only on hospital for less than 48 hours but the whole thing was violent (not by me) , deeply traumatising and completely unnecessary. Wrecked my career as well - and not for the first time. She blocked anyone at work from having any contact with me and no one ever enquired about my welfare. My doctor and psychiatrist wrote letters saying I was fit for work (which meant legally I could return to work) but she made me undergo an assessment by a psychiatrist paid for by the organisation (her). No one explained anything to me. She wrote a long report with many things out of context or untrue and I had very little right of reply and only one hour to see the consulting psychiatrist - who - started asking personal questions about childhood abuse, which has nothing to do with anything. Luckily I had the letters written by my psychiatrist (who was allocated to me because I got myself hospitalised) - and that seemed to satisfy the guy doing the assessment. I got my job back, but basically they just leave me in the corner fixing things no one else can fix. All the glamour jobs have gone to someone else.
I have one of the acute porphyrias, and attacks are *nothing* like this. The physical symptoms are incredibly severe and while I have experienced hallucinations/altered consciousness, I've experienced them while on the floor in a fetal position. The idea that he'd be running around during an attack is ridiculous. The body is basically poisoning itself with a neurotoxin, and that's exactly what it looks like. Irritability can precede an attack, and most patients have depression/anxiety due at least in part to lesions on the hypothalamus caused by exposure to porphyrins, and disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. This can also lead to rage issues, particularly among people who drink since alcohol is a common trigger for attacks as it is. This theory about George III is almost as ludicrous as the idea that stories about vampires are based on people who had porphyria; modern doctors often misdiagnose it because the symptoms appear to be gastrointestinal, but somehow people in the 1400s knew they had a blood disorder and compensated for it by drinking other people's blood. Which wouldn't have worked anyway.
I love your videos , question about hallucinations how often do you see olfactory (is that the word for smell ?) Hallucinations ? I've had smell hallucinations for several years (used to just be see and hear mostly and occasionally I'd feel bugs crawling on me like touch hallucinations but I have asked people I've met in the mental health community over the years who also struggle with hallucinations but not met someone who has the smell ones The first one I had was a "smell coming from my radiators " and the only reason I confirmed it wasn't there was that the smell went everywhere so it was in my home but it wa salso in the taxi to my hospital appt , in the mri scanner when I went for my spine mri (I have severe chronic illness one comodbidity of which is to do woth my spine) ot was in the taxi home it was outdoors etc it went everywhere Are smell / olfactory hallucinations less common or just not commonly spoken about? (Im stable when it comes to my mood and my hallucinations atm I think cause my meds are right ever since I had a quetiapine increase - one of 3 meds I'm on for mental health) hallucinations and manic episodes have been way less so I'm not asking cause I need advice im just curious as to weather they are less common than the others or just less spoke about than the others or people maybe don't always know the smells not there ? Sorry for the ramble
@mane5582 mot really as when my meds got increased all the increased symptoms (so the mood issues the other visual and auditory hallucinations went back to being their "normal" for when I'm stable and the smell stuff went away at the exact same period of time and it's happened again when I've been o crisis and gone away when rhe crisis has calmed down so psych is pretty sure its olfactory hallucinations
I have olfactory hallucinations!! I mostly hallucinate the smell of smoke (I was in a house fire in 2019 and that really doubled down my c-ptsd 😢) and though rarer these days, the smell of blood. I'm also never certain that when I smell infection if I actually am developing a sinus infection or if I'm just hallucinating... 😅 So you're not alone!! Sadly, bc my hallucinations generally need to be taken seriously (I would always rather embarrass myself to prevent something from being on fire, for example) so they're not something that my doctors have done anything for aside from notating it in my charts as something I self-report. In talking to other folks about it, they're not generally thought of as things that cause the same amount of distress as auditory or visual hallucinations. I disagree bc being the paranoia of your apartment building being on fire will definitely cause significant distress and alter the course of my day but 🤷 🙄 who am I to discuss this, right? LOL
hi dr elliot , lavender has been known to help you sleep when place on a pillow and its very good for headaches but medical advice should be sought esp if used along side some meds
I disagree about him being psychotic and delusional during the part where he's scribbling on the wall. He's clearly drawn some celestial alignments that include Venus and then runs outside to look up into the sky at it. I feel like he knows exactly what he's on about and because no one else understands, they just assume he's crazy. Crazy people can't calculate alignments and understand astrophysics, can they? At least we can understand from watching that he's extremely intelligent. Btw, he's my ancestor 😊
Hi the thing about disordered language (I think this is what you call it) how does that manifest in those with adhd ? Does the youtuber /anyone else know ?
Fast with a tendency to jump from one topic to another and be easily distracted, but there tends to be a logical link between thoughts which is not always the case in psychosis
hello here is gen info on the people from the series i will not include anything that is covered in the series part two George III in his accession speech to Parliament, proclaimed: "Born and educated in this country, I glory in the name of Britain."He inserted this phrase into the speech, written by Lord Hardwicke, to demonstrate his desire to distance himself from his German forebears, who were perceived as caring more for Hanover than for Britain.During George III's lengthy reign, Britain was a constitutional monarchy, ruled by his ministerial government and prominent men in Parliament.Although his accession was at first welcomed by politicians of all parties, the first years of his reign were marked by political instability, largely as a result of disagreements over the Seven Years' War. George came to be perceived as favouring Tory ministers, which led to his denunciation by the Whigs as an autocrat On his accession, the Crown lands produced relatively little income; most revenue was generated through taxes and excise duties. George surrendered the Crown Estate to Parliamentary control in return for a civil list annuity for the support of his household and the expenses of civil government.Claims that he used the income to reward supporters with bribes and gifts are disputed by historians who say such claims "rest on nothing but falsehoods put out by disgruntled opposition". Debts amounting to over £3 million over the course of George's reign were paid by Parliament, and the civil list annuity was increased from time to time.He aided the Royal Academy of Arts with large grants from his private funds and may have donated more than half of his personal income to charity.Of his art collection, the two most notable purchases are Johannes Vermeer's Lady at the Virginals and a set of Canalettos, but it is as a collector of books that he is best remembered.The King's Library was open and available to scholars and was the foundation of a new national library. in 1763, after concluding the Peace of Paris which ended the war, Lord Bute resigned, allowing the Whigs under George Grenville to return to power. Britain received enormous concessions, including West Florida. Britain restored to France lucrative slave-sugar islands in the West Indies, including Guadeloupe and Martinique. France ceded Canada to Britain, in addition to all land between the Allegheny Mountains and the Mississippi River, except New Orleans, which was ceded to Spain. Later that year, the Royal Proclamation of 1763 placed a limit upon the westward expansion of the American colonies and created an Indian reserve. The Proclamation aimed to divert colonial expansion to the north (to Nova Scotia) and to the south (Florida), and protect the British fur trade with the Indians. The Proclamation Line did not bother the majority of settled farmers, but it was unpopular with a vocal minority. This discontent ultimately contributed to conflict between the colonists and the British government.With the American colonists generally unburdened by British taxes, the government thought it appropriate for them to pay towards the defence of the colonies against native uprisings and the possibility of French incursions.The central issue for the colonists was not the amount of taxes but whether Parliament could levy a tax without American approval, for there were no American seats in Parliament. The Americans protested that like all Englishmen they had rights to "no taxation without representation". In 1765, Grenville introduced the Stamp Act, which levied a stamp duty on every document in the British colonies in North America. Since newspapers were printed on stamped paper, those most affected by the introduction of the duty were the most effective at producing propaganda opposing the tax. Queen Charlotte During her first years in Great Britain, Charlotte's strained relationship with her mother-in-law, Princess Augusta, caused her difficulty in adapting to the life of the British court.The princess dowager interfered with Charlotte's efforts to establish social contacts by insisting on rigid court etiquette.Furthermore, Augusta appointed many of Charlotte's staff, among whom several were expected to report to Augusta about Charlotte's behaviour.Charlotte turned to her German companions for friends, notably her close confidante Juliane von Schwellenberg. The Queen was responsible for the interior decoration of their new residence, described by friend of the Royal Family and diarist Mary Delany: "The entrance into the first room was dazzling, all furnished with beautiful Indian paper, chairs covered with different embroideries of the liveliest colours, glasses, tables, sconces, in the best taste, the whole calculated to give the greatest cheerfulness to the place." Charlotte did have some influence on political affairs through the King. Her influence was discreet and indirect, as demonstrated in the correspondence with her brother Charles. She used her closeness with George III to keep herself informed and to make recommendations for offices.Apparently her recommendations were not direct, as she on one occasion, in 1779, asked her brother Charles to burn her letter, because the King suspected that a person she had recently recommended for a post was the client of a woman who sold offices.Charlotte particularly interested herself in German issues. She took an interest in the War of the Bavarian Succession (1778-1779), and it is possible that it was due to her efforts that the King supported British intervention in the continuing conflict between Joseph II and Charles Theodore of Bavaria in 1785.
You should definitely react to the next episode. It shows things from his perspective and the horrible experimental treatments.
I think the show did an excellent job in depicting George’s insecurities about his condition, as you’ll see in the next few episodes. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ve made enough progress as a society to say that these insecurities would be unfounded today-they absolutely would be, given the unfortunate stigmas still surrounding mental illness. In some ways, I think the conversations this show brings up couldn’t be more timely, from racial tensions, to the subjugation of women, to LGBTQ+ lifestyles being considered unacceptable, to the lack of support for mental illnesses. It’s heartbreaking to see how little progress we’ve made as a society in all this time.
Looking forward to seeing your thoughts on the remaining episodes. There’s definitely a lot to unpack in them.

I think he had dementia in his later years on top of the mental illness
He most likely had dementia in later life, which lead to the implementation of a regency aka. The regency period that Bridgerton is set in. 😊

I hope you review Ted Lasso. I've truely enjoyed these last few episodes.
Doctors used to give him mercury, which is the worst thing for porphyria.

The idea that he'd be running around during an attack is ridiculous. The body is basically poisoning itself with a neurotoxin, and that's exactly what it looks like.

Hey!
Have you looked into the causes of paraosmia ( abnormal smell) i.e viral infections, medications…
@mane5582 mot really as when my meds got increased all the increased symptoms (so the mood issues the other visual and auditory hallucinations went back to being their "normal" for when I'm stable and the smell stuff went away at the exact same period of time and it's happened again when I've been o crisis and gone away when rhe crisis has calmed down so psych is pretty sure its olfactory hallucinations

Could it be psychotic depression?

On his accession, the Crown lands produced relatively little income; most revenue was generated through taxes and excise duties. George surrendered the Crown Estate to Parliamentary control in return for a civil list annuity for the support of his household and the expenses of civil government.Claims that he used the income to reward supporters with bribes and gifts are disputed by historians who say such claims "rest on nothing but falsehoods put out by disgruntled opposition". Debts amounting to over £3 million over the course of George's reign were paid by Parliament, and the civil list annuity was increased from time to time.He aided the Royal Academy of Arts with large grants from his private funds and may have donated more than half of his personal income to charity.Of his art collection, the two most notable purchases are Johannes Vermeer's Lady at the Virginals and a set of Canalettos, but it is as a collector of books that he is best remembered.The King's Library was open and available to scholars and was the foundation of a new national library. in 1763, after concluding the Peace of Paris which ended the war, Lord Bute resigned, allowing the Whigs under George Grenville to return to power. Britain received enormous concessions, including West Florida. Britain restored to France lucrative slave-sugar islands in the West Indies, including Guadeloupe and Martinique. France ceded Canada to Britain, in addition to all land between the Allegheny Mountains and the Mississippi River, except New Orleans, which was ceded to Spain. Later that year, the Royal Proclamation of 1763 placed a limit upon the westward expansion of the American colonies and created an Indian reserve. The Proclamation aimed to divert colonial expansion to the north (to Nova Scotia) and to the south (Florida), and protect the British fur trade with the Indians. The Proclamation Line did not bother the majority of settled farmers, but it was unpopular with a vocal minority. This discontent ultimately contributed to conflict between the colonists and the British government.With the American colonists generally unburdened by British taxes, the government thought it appropriate for them to pay towards the defence of the colonies against native uprisings and the possibility of French incursions.The central issue for the colonists was not the amount of taxes but whether Parliament could levy a tax without American approval, for there were no American seats in Parliament. The Americans protested that like all Englishmen they had rights to "no taxation without representation". In 1765, Grenville introduced the Stamp Act, which levied a stamp duty on every document in the British colonies in North America. Since newspapers were printed on stamped paper, those most affected by the introduction of the duty were the most effective at producing propaganda opposing the tax.
Queen Charlotte During her first years in Great Britain, Charlotte's strained relationship with her mother-in-law, Princess Augusta, caused her difficulty in adapting to the life of the British court.The princess dowager interfered with Charlotte's efforts to establish social contacts by insisting on rigid court etiquette.Furthermore, Augusta appointed many of Charlotte's staff, among whom several were expected to report to Augusta about Charlotte's behaviour.Charlotte turned to her German companions for friends, notably her close confidante Juliane von Schwellenberg.
The Queen was responsible for the interior decoration of their new residence, described by friend of the Royal Family and diarist Mary Delany: "The entrance into the first room was dazzling, all furnished with beautiful Indian paper, chairs covered with different embroideries of the liveliest colours, glasses, tables, sconces, in the best taste, the whole calculated to give the greatest cheerfulness to the place."
Charlotte did have some influence on political affairs through the King. Her influence was discreet and indirect, as demonstrated in the correspondence with her brother Charles. She used her closeness with George III to keep herself informed and to make recommendations for offices.Apparently her recommendations were not direct, as she on one occasion, in 1779, asked her brother Charles to burn her letter, because the King suspected that a person she had recently recommended for a post was the client of a woman who sold offices.Charlotte particularly interested herself in German issues. She took an interest in the War of the Bavarian Succession (1778-1779), and it is possible that it was due to her efforts that the King supported British intervention in the continuing conflict between Joseph II and Charles Theodore of Bavaria in 1785.
