Two interviews with a young woman during and after an acute schizophrenic reaction.
The “crazy” people back in these days are much more well spoken, mannered, behaved and dignified than the “normal” people of today.
Absolutely! Imagine the average American teenager being interviewed today. Lol.
She is actually TOO well-mannered for what she's been through, her posture seems defeated, her voice is trying too hard to "be good" to "not cause trouble" -- something young women in particular were punished for. Even so, she can't help revealing her terror of her father, "I was always afraid of him" (WTF?) and how her mother "never wanted to talk to her" but now she understands it! That should be sending out red flags. It's normal for a teenager to be mouthy, this young woman shows the signs of being traumatized.
Don’t watch the news, True that..it’s a worry what has happened.
Don’t watch the news the fake news leftist social engineering works well on borderline people. Erase their individuality, manipulate them into thinking of themselves as a group / class / race, & light the fuse.
Jim Morrison I couldn’t agree more. We have many millions of robots, completely programmed by the public education system, public university system, the entertainment industry, the fake news media, and now of course the entire internet. I can’t even look up anything on google/UA-cam, etc, with out being routed into some liberal leftest agenda. 👊👍
06:43 "I just wanna do what everybody else wants me to do. I just wanna keep everybody happy." How heartbreaking.
George Penwell yep, she has ‘ the disease to please ‘
This world is a slave world. Parents are destroying their child, they reproduce but don't even think about the life sens. This existence is dumb and pathetic.
We all come from slaved beings. Some are less stupid and destructive.
So sad indeed...
I just thought that I'm the only one who's struggling like what this woman struggling. But kinda shocked that we have the same feeling like, I also just wanna do what everybody wants me to do I mean I just don't want that fight, I just don't want that shouting from my family even if that fights don't include me. Im now planning to have an appointment with some psychologist or psychiatrist hmm.
Its soo deep....even in her situation she stills thinking of ty others....its sooo heart breaking
The voices she hears of her dad yelling at her mom sounds more like auditory hallucinations from PTSD, real memories.
Yes! Agreed. That's exactly what I am thinking. It is obvious that her parents represent some kind of heavy mental pressure for her and it manifests as auditory hallucinations from trauma.
Skitdora2010 RIGHT??? Fuck a diagnosis, remove the source of the trauma and treat the emotional and psychological shrapnel and I bet she’d thrive.
Yes I believe it's real memories traumatizing her
I was thinking the same thing. I don’t think this is schizophrenia. 😢
Start of multiple personality disorder, from PTSD an the things she's heard n witnessed. I myself have multiple personallies and PTSD from childhood trauma. And I have many other mental issues. When she said she felt like she split into peices that's how it starts with multiple personallies disorder.
The poor girl was traumatized .
Right?!? It's abusive to ur children if u scream, shout, be little ur partner in their presence like that!!!
Yes, seems like PTSD, not schizophrenia.
@@eljp8434 but it can also be acute traumatic stress
Having acute traumatic stress can also hallucinate
Interpersonal trauma, past and present it seems, with overwhelming people pleasing response to try and prevent it. So sad.
She’s describing real voices she heard. She’s doesn’t appear “crazy” to me, just conflicted due to the toxic nature of her family.
A toxic family and the pressures related to it as a child are just two of the possible contributing factors in schizophrenia. And yes, a person with schizophrenia can appear 100% normal at first. Spend a few weeks/months with them and you start to see the problem.
You're assuming the fussing and arguments she heard were actually happening in reality. Plot Twist; what if nobody else heard such things going on when she did? The reality is that they didn't confirm or deny what she was hearing so we are left to assume that at least some of those events were only in her head, otherwise why would she be in the mental hospital?
Mad Cow
She’s describing specific people, specific conversations, particular events. She is not describing “hearing voices” , they just told her she was and she’s in there because it’s 1960. Women weren’t allowed to be people.
@@pamelaneibuhr6959 No matter how specific the hallucinations are it's still possible her brain warped hearing a normal conversation into people fussing and having arguments....
Mad Cow we shall never know
To me, these interviews make it clear, and stress the fact that it is SOOOOOO very important how we treat our children. We can make them or break them. I blame the parents 100% for this girls state of mind. Perhaps a small part of her behavior is inherited, but for the most part, I think it depends on how she is treated being brought up as a child. Being a parent is the most important job and responsibility a person can have. We MUST do it well!
@Under the Surface It is also your duty as a parent to teach him to defend himself from abusers and to defend himself from the outside world. Education starts at home
Melody of Psalm 94 I couldn’t agree more!
Under the Surface
When I was in high school in the ‘70’s, there was one young male teacher (around 25 years old) who was screwing around with several female students...everyone knew, but nothing was done about it. 😑
@@___shiftedparadigm1064 what would a psychiatry student be asked to do after viewing this video?
My mum is the cause of my problems, she manipulated the family to think it was my dad through drink, but he only drank here and there, was never abusive, never hit any of us, it was that wicked bitch dishing out her poison on all of us, i got off lucky compared to my brother, but i'm still scarred for life for what she did, it's a constant battle, the failure of all my relationships, and i can only pray
Sounds like she grew up in an abusive home and has trauma from having to deal with that.
These videos are so interesting I am binge watching them ...thank you for finding these old videos please find more
I thought I was the only person that binge watches vintage psychiatric interviews.
Same here. I wish I was well off enough to donate to this channel for their efforts here. I have a sense of guilt watching for free, but there is so much I want to learn about all kinds of ways of thinking so I just can't pass up the opportunity to see into the past and gain perspective from these sharing people.
Yes i cant stop either... I learn so much about times gone by, cultures and of course how mental ailments were addressed.
Lol..me to
@roki feler Exactly!
She's NOT schizophrenic. She's been traumatized by her environment.
I think they most important point of her whole story is that she didn't hear any voices until AFTER they gave her a shot...
I think the same thing, she was too sensitive to the world back then
Thanks doctor! Shut the fuck up!! You just watched a 12 minute video and think you can accurately diagnose her problem without any medical or psychological qualifications.....you're dumb as ass!
My brother was 43 & experienced a very traumatizing event, a few of them actually, he attempted suicide but didn’t succeed. At that time was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia , 2 years later died from the medication that he was prescribed ( gradual overdose). I was told that what he experienced his mind could not handle & his mind snapped! My point is traumatizing experiences can bring on certain forms of mental illness!
@@___shiftedparadigm1064 The 3rd leading cause of death is medical error, probably because many doctors' "qualifications" are that they watched a 1-hour presentation on something and think they can dictate your life based on it.
She seems completely lucid and describes her symptoms objectively. This doesn't resemble my understanding of acute schizophrenia.
Yes, they are not in active psyhosis, during the interviews. It seems that they are describing their 1st episode (after the fact).
I have seen many schizophrenic patients and when they are in psychosis, it's totally different.
Firstly i dont think you guys are listening or reading the info at all. Shes regressed to child like behaviour when shes not a child. She hears voices some is Japanese... How is she lucid at all!

@@aprilltaylor8870 Lucidity in psychiatric terms is the ability to objectively evaluate ones own mental state. The absence of lucidity is a primary determinator of psychosis; indeed, it is practically the definition of psychosis.
The regressive behaviour she demonstrates, while noteworthy, is not useful in diagnosing schizophrenia.
@@MrBoybergs nice cherry picking of the facts i stated. What about the hearing voices. Hearing voices that she couldn't understand because she thought it was Japanese? Those point directly at schizophrenia.
In the first interview she is having a moment of clarity. In the second she has been brainwashed into believing her family is normal.
to be fair it could have been her own brain brainwashing or lending itself to delusion. Usually people like this are really good at being delusional, they will have a break (because the brain isnt stupid) and after releasing pressure are able to dive back into delusion as a coping mechanism. Its the brain gass lighting itself in a sense.
If brainwashed believing a narcissistic family is normal, one is doomed.
My grandma speaks just like this. Almost exactly the same nature . She’s 96 and the most angelic being
Did anyone else notice how drastically she changed in those five days? Not just the fact that she saw things “clear” now, but her body language, her posture, even the attitude. When she just came is, she was a scared young woman who wanted to do whatever others told her. By the end of it, it’s like that breakdown helped her realize everything that’d been going on isn’t her fault. Fascinating
But was that because she was medicated, I wonder?
She's on some powerful psychiatric drugs
Yes straight away
I I’ve watched most of theses tapes and the people seem to have really sweet natured and very eloquent my heart goes out to all of them.... mental illness is a cruel illness
Lynda Singer Every Leftist rioting in the streets of Portland for the past two months over imaginary “systematic racism“ has less sanity than this sweet woman.
@@jimmorrison4163 so george floyd is imaginary dead? so is breonna? tamir? got it.
@@jimmorrison4163 i suppose you choose to ignore the FACT that right wing GOONS are being brought in to raise the ire of arseholes like you? fuck off troll
@@jimmorrison4163 perhaps you'd feel better going back to the 50s where you belong, you moronic, regressive simpleton.
@@Wife_Mother_Failure Your attitude underscores his point. Clearly you haven't looked into the cases, which haven't even gone to trial yet. Assumptions were made and there is no data to back up the claim of systemic racism. I agree with his point. She is far more sane than what we're seeing now from mostly 20 something bored college kids.
She seems like a sweet gentle and sensitive girl who is probably sitting on a lot of trauma. I’m bet she’s scared to tell the doctor what’s really going on. I doubt that she’s really
schizophrenic. She’s too well organized and there’s no sign of negative symptoms.
I had psychotic episodes in my life, that were diagnosed and treated in psychiatric institutions for what they were, and in the second one which almost last a year, my way of talking was very organized but still the content of some part was delusional. The simple fact that you hear or heard voices is on the psychotic side. I cant tell if she's experiencing a punctual psychotic episode or if she has a whole psychotic structure, but nobody can tell that based on two interviews on a screen that werent even the full interviews. She may have been well cared for and now the confusion is less present but it doesnt mean that she is totally back to normal (and if she is sphizophrenic she'll never be, she may just be stabilized). There are a lot of different ways to be affected by this illness, different level of severity, dont expect to see the prototype of the mad person acting with total non sense all the time. Plus, she seems a little "off" to me.
And may I add that if she "just" had a psychotic episode, based on the title of the video, she is not what you call "schizophrenic", just like my case, I am not schizophrenic but I had occasional psychotic episodes and it's not the same thing.
@@sapphopique1316 I am a psychiatrist and totally agree with you .
You don't need negative symptoms to meet criteria for schizophrenia.
All they did was medicate women to submit it's disgusting. I hate psychology of this time it's so heartbreaking and I understand so much about our elderly today and the way they are please be kind to everyone
HSP Highly sensitive person, empath who has been overwhelmed by loveless dysfunctional family environment.
Acidobay Yes?? Oh, sorry,... I thought someone was talking to me!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
True...n most schizophrenic people were selfless, giving selfsacrifing people... Always influenced by other people's decision... Empaths to the extreme ... They just need a peaceful environment... I m developing this too... Ooops
I feel so , as well, it getting the balance. These records are important, Luv that you put this out. 🌸🌺☘️✌️👍
roger robinson humans can be so cruel. I sure it not easy, remember their ignorance , is not your problem. I wish you well👍✌️
Same lol 😂 I felt like I could relate to that a lot 😂😭😅
I don't know where she's from in the South but she has the most beautiful, soft and gentle accent. Really her way of being formed by where she grew up is a treasure. She was the one suffering great difficulties but I am the one humbled by her graciousness.
If you listen to other parts of the US and UK, in these old films, people tend to be gentle and softly spoken, and very eloquent. Very soothing to listen to. Now voices seem to be generally louder.
I too have been noticing the beautiful articulation in these old videos.
It’s very charming.
Joseph Miller So caressing and gentle, it almost seems like they are actors
Beautiful voice
She said in her own words "I just want to make everyone happy".
Even those of us that are sane & mentally stable have this thought on our minds.
Yes ppl pleasers and it can make us sick
I wonder sometimes if children are abused mentally and physically, then their response to the abuse is seen as mental illness..then they are abused more by the doctors..so much evil in the world.😠
This world is a prison.
The problem with reality is that it's real.
That is the truth.
Not being able to cope with the trauma? I think that too barbara grazer.
There are several causes of mental illness, and we already know this. Mental illness has been linked to trauma, genetics, head injuries and other things.
Mental illness that is a response to trauma is still mental illness.
The brain is complicated.
She's a people pleaser and is both gentle and sensitive person. It's so sad to children raised in unsafe homes. 💔 That second part was like watching a completely different person.
fr i thought it was a different person at first, her voice, her presence, everything
This girl exhibits PTSD. She’s not schizophrenic she needs to heal from a dysfunctional family. She was clearly neglected and emotionally abused. Very sad.
I feel such empathy for this poor girl. I was raised in a house that my stepfather beat my mother and me for years. Alcoholic and angry all the time.. Screaming voices are the result of the trauma she has endured. She is not schizophrenic, she has PTSD.
Sounds like she had trama as a child. Daddy fighting with mom, any child would be a nervous wreck and scared, probably thought it was her fault. Then being left out of her family discussions. Bless her heart. Always wonder why they didn’t follow up on theses patients.
She is medicated in the 2nd video; they routinely overprescribed sedatives like "darvon" in those days. The psychiatrist seems extremely clueless to me.
She also said she was very afraid of her father. The shrink didn't even bat an eye.
Back then, they prescribed Nembutal, Tuinal, Seconal.... barbiturates. All these patients had crappy doctors. What they needed was good support groups.

@@susanivy3619 I am going to ease this as possibly as I can but politics don't mix with people that have mental problems so not just me but anyone could care less about what this woman thinks in 2020. Unless it is for a study of the human mind. Sorry bEa
susan ivy Why do you feminists always have to interject Trump into every situation?
Your obsession is bizarre.
Just like the masses are now being brainwashed to accept the "new normal" during this plandemic.
In the second interview she sounds like she is just telling them what they want to hear rather than how she actually feels.
Just what she said before she just wants to make everyone happy. She likely does have a mental illness, but she is very bright so she's figured out what to say to get herself out of there since telling the truth wasn't getting her anywhere. They clearly aren't going to do much for her other than tell her why it's wrong to feel the way she feels...something she literally has no control over if she's mentally ill. Believe me, I have bipolar disorder and I know for a fact that when I'm having an episode I think tons of irrational things and even though I know that it's not rational I'm not able to stop myself from having the thoughts or the feelings that come with them. Being mentally ill and constantly under stress is a quick way to have a psychotic breakdown. No doubt her family was only making things worse. The psychiatric care back then was hideous. I feel incredibly sorry for her.
@Jack Sparrow I doubt if they put her through hell. Probably a lot of talk therapy until she calmed down.
She realized that the "doctors" are in fact Nutcases.
Can Bipolar Disorder explain why would someone would be unstable?
Like they're good, but they have lots of irrational thoughts and avoidance behaviours when under alot of stress?
My heart broke for this young woman. I know that mental health wasn't as widely understood back then as perhaps it is now, but her ability to express herself the way she did, and her calm demeanor didn't indicate (to me) that were any symptoms of schizophrenia in any categorization. I hope this young woman lived out the rest of her days surrounded by the love she so deserved.
Did anyone else hear her say that she started hearing voices for the first time after being given SHOTS at the various hospitals.
Hmmm ...just saying.
YES
But I thought she first had the breakdown (where she couldnt understand what was going on and she felt she'd broken to pieces) and as a treatment for that came the shots after which she started hearing the voices... Could it be that the breakdown was a psychotic attack?
this is definitely someone who has psychosis or schizophrenia would say to justify their psychosis lmao
Yep
S. Morris yes
I have been around plenty of schizophrenics when working with the homeless, and this girl does not have schizophrenia
I agree this girl is not schizoid.
She doesn't have the signature affect that os part of the diagnosis.
They have episodes. My aunt could seem very normal sometimes.
Are you a qualified psychiatrist?
@@jackstephen2519 thank you.
Firstly i dont think you guys are listening or reading the info at all. Shes regressed to child like behaviour when shes not a child. She hears voices some she cant understand because they are in Japanese... How is she lucid at all!
To me, this seems much more like ptsd than schizophrenia. Poor girl
She has the most wonderful, gentle, soothing voice I’ve ever heard
Seems to me those shots caused the auditory hallucinations
It is possible. I get similar hallucinations from my anxiety medication sometimes. Notice that she hears voices that are familiar to her which is an anxiety response.
@@samindaperamuna6392 usually mental illnesses go hand in hand I bet she has PTSD and Anxiety
Excatly! Some drugs do that. They are too rough.
I was thinking the same thing.
I find these to be so interesting. I have bipolar and struggle with manic depression. I do get treatment and am very committed to therapy. I am not ashamed to ask for help when I need it.(usually when hospitalization is needed). Ignorant people think that people with mental health are weak and broken and it quite opposite. I feel it takes a strong person to be submissive when help is needed and seek it and accept it . I you don’t know something is wrong you can’t fix it. Watching these videos makes me feel two ways #1It shows how society have become more accepted to mental health issues #2 I see how much treatment have evolved for the better. Thank you for this channel.
She started hearing voices AFTER the shot.
Ya I would to
"I still felt alone, even though I was with my own family." This poor girl. I hope she found her own happiness, maybe married a nice man and had some kids of her own. I wish we could find out.
The heavy sighs, the old audio effect, the quality of this video it just feel so heavy despite how soft her voice. I hope she did live well :(((
"This conversation is just between you and me, and 348,809 others in 60 years".
She is so very sweet, thoughtful, and sensitive. Sensitive to yelling and screaming and fighting, etc. Maybe "the voices" are simply memories of all the crazy fighting she had to listen to over the years. Maybe the other folks needed some help.
Wonder if she became a teacher or a nurse. She's very caring soul.
Man, I feel so bad for her. Everyone was just emotionally dumping on her. I wanna hug her.
I had a terrible episode back when I was seriously depressed. I remember waking up in the morning and driving to work. When I was entering the office building, I heard voices calling out my name - such hallucinations can be brought on by simple fatigue or being depressed for a very long period of time. I felt chills running down my spine, because even I realised that hearing voices is a very disturbing sign.
The whole day I sat at the computer and couldn't really see or understand a thing. I moved as if in a dream, and when the day came to an end and it was time for me to go home - something just snapped. I went outside and felt that everything was a blur, all those strangers in the street looking at me funny, and I couldn't cry, I didn't really understand where I was going. I felt like screaming, because I suddenly realised that it was all too much for me. The world around was shattering and falling into pieces, and it seemed that everything was pure evil, pure torment. The next day I consulted a psychiatrist.
Acute Stress Reaction. Same thing happened to the guy who made that viral video about getting war criminal Josef Komi (spelling). PTSD and Acute Stress Psychosis. Poor guy. Rushed out if his house nude, screaming.
@@stevebutler812 it does seem like it, but in my case there hadn't been any certain traumatic event that could have caused it. There hadn't been any clear trigger
hi i don’t know if you’re still responding but i felt something similar but the events they take place are a bit different for me i wasn’t depressed but i just wanted to ask you would always get the chills when hearing voices or was it just the one time ?
@@punkkerr I think that thankfully, I experienced this only once
Hope this young lady had a happy life and got the treatment she needed

This is bad. They misjudged 😒 and if she was prescribed meds that probably made her crazy for real.
I feel very sad to see how we as a parents don't think when we argue mature things in front of our children. The mental damage and emotional trauma breaks their brains beyond what we can imagine. To my daughter.... I'm sorry for all you've heard when you were a kid. Im sorry for having been so careless.
I agree. I still recall the anxiety and extreme fear I was in when my drunken father would start on my mother. Next day it was as if nothing had happened. I felt I was going mad and there was no one to talk to. Kids are hyper aware of atmospheres.
come to my workplace, most people there are total nut jobs compared to this young woman who seems like the pinnacle of sanity in comparison
hahaha... Please keep your sanity my friend, maintain a professional distance from the nuts.m I agree this lady is very sane but she is also very sensitive and subdued - thats what is causing her so much pain
Same.
Stay strong!
dji zzah I hear you. Seems like we have allowed the mentally ill today run the show. Its normal to lash out, scream obscenities, and be triggered by the slightest. We have willingly allowed depravity, through our overly obsession with self now. As we can see. Its not ending well for them.
Same. We must workin the same industry!!!
The voices in her head are just her overwhelming thoughts
She seems normal to me, just stressed out with home things. Needed to get a rest. Not sure what they gave her to hear voices. Med were pretty barbaric back then.

@@aprilltaylor8870 the voices are in Japanese because the neighbors were Japanese. There was a reason that the only voices she heard were those from the people around her arguing. She was sensitive to that. It doesnt really sound like schizophrenia, sounds like the brain is trying to get her to deal with trauma. also drugs
she was hearing voices before being put on meds (acute episode)
@Leigh Leigh yeah a ton of side effects, i had serotonin syndrome twice🥴
The meek shall inherit the earth. She certainly deserves earth and then some! Gentle lady, hope she found her strength. Sounds like she was bullied into snapping.

Very
The voices seem to be associated with the drug they where giving her.
They said she was acting strange before she was sent to the hospital but she thought in her mind she was acting normal. I dont think it's the meds
xo Xo true she was acting strange but no hearing voices, to me it seemed as though the drug was exasperating the effects of the voices.
In the stage of psychosis one can't make sense if you were hearing voices or feeling things . It's a state of utter confusion . The analytical part of the brain can't analyse and make sense of it all . You family and fri3nds can notice your behaviour different than your regular but the person experiencing psychosis can't.
Can the psychosis be just feeling weird? As in somewhat decreased sense of reality; thus decreased emotions? I had a point where It felt like there was an invisible barrier between me and reality, making me unable to feel things the way their supposed to be felt (joyful or sad)... And the right side of forehead felt like it started to "slow down"; engine an airplane losing the left engine and then the drag just pulls the heck out of the plane to the left; and the pilot is hardly working trying to "compensate" for the left "engine failure", which is why I broke my composure when I talked to the neurologist (because I was anhedonic) "Take a walk, and watch something on the phone...." "I can't feel happiness or joy, It just dosen't compute and get processed inside my head"
+ She pissed me off by telling me "I have electricity in my brain", and I'm a medical student, and I was just furious inside, because in my mind a brain is supposed to have electricity in it, otherwise one would be dead. So that just pissed me off.
@@-m7k0z7-9 psychosis is any disconnection with normal sense of reality or perception.
This sounds like somewhat a psychosis and may be related overactive stress or mental conflict.
To me, and this is just my opinion, but it sounds like a reactive disorder which is related to a life issue or personal matter which needs to be resolved.
Psychosis can be reactive which means it’s not chronic but related to a life issue or trauma which has never been resolved and these symptoms are related to the personal problems associated with that issue.
However I am not a doctor and this is just what I think.
Other then that you may be suffering psychosis due to overwhelming depression or anxiety which can cause loss of touch with reality.
But either way try to work with a person who tries to help you because they sometimes need you to try and think from a different point of view.
But anyway I hope you can find some assistance and that you can find resolution to your issues.
I think what was referred to as acute schizophrenia today we would classify as depression brought on by how a verbally, and perhaps physically, abusive father acted towards her mother. I think the voices may be a side effect of the anti-psychotic drugs they were giving her. She seems like a daily well adjusted person given the living arrangements.
Today she might be classified as having PTSD and an anxiety disorder and through therapy could lead a normal life.
I've watched LOTS of vintage psychiatric interview videos. This one is particularly striking. In the first interview, she is actively symptomatic but she's authentic and vulnerable. In the second interview, which presumably demonstrates the positive effects of psychiatric care, she is stiff and guarded.
I feel like a lot of this is trauma...
I don’t
No offense to your comment but most if not all mental illness is awakened due to trauma, albeit maybe has genetic prerequisites
MellowJelly the ideas of generational trauma and epigenetics makes us both correct. Remembering that women are born already with all of their egg cells should kind of change the way we think of genetic predisposition, and the idea that epigenetics means that our dna changes/activates under certain conditions should be a clear indicator that both nature and nurture influence our mental conditions. I dislike the way people treat mental “illness”, especially schizophrenia. We should focus on mental wellness. It’s too easy to write a prescription or just write people off as mentally ill without regarding the role that social/physical/financial/political environment affects the psyche.
Peoples KarmaSquad ok
Mae Peterson We said
This girl is a teen? She seems a little older than a teen and mentions her husband. I thought she was a teen living at home, but apparently not. She sounds fine to me, just brainwashed and gaslit into thinking she was just “taking things personally”. I feel sorry for her.
It was common to marry young back then, so I'm really not surprised.
People aged WAY faster in those days.
@Julia A Because she keeps repeating the SAME thing about how she "was just taking things too personally” (and making excuses in the last interview for her Mother who obviously needed help before this girl which might have avoided ALL of this tragedy.) Whoever kept telling her this (that she took everything too "personally") is the liar, offending party. As if she is NOT ALLOWED TO FEEL... OR HAVE ANYTHING FOR HERSELF, NOT EVEN JUST LOVE. This makes me feel so ill right now and angry.
@Julia A Well, I obviously did and you'll have to deal with it. She was obviously subject to abuse and what does seem to be gaslighting and I'm clearly not in the minority of people here thinking she was abused OR the only one who thought "gaslit."
All of us who can understand English got to know her well enough through these interviews with the Dr. where she goes into detail about her current and past Family Life involving her Mother, her Father, her Husband, and her Cousins. I really don't know why you type as if you have not heard a word or comprehended a sentence she has said.
Also, you asked a question so I replied with my Honest answer because I agree wholeheartedly with the OP's (Denise) post. Just because you don't like my answer to your question does not make my answer incorrect. Repetition is brainwashing 101 especially when the "subject/patient" is drugged. She reported multiple times that these shots made her feel "drunk" for days in a row during her confinement.
I can tell that you have a personal problem when it comes to RESPECT, especially concerning this lady, for some reason, by the way you word your sentences. Keep your disrespect and negativity to yourself and quit asking questions here if you do not want them answered or I will have to stoop to calling you and your questions, "stupid." Good Luck.
@@candycane5179 she is taught to look at things from her mom's point of view, nothing wrong about that.
She said she never heard voices until they gave her a shot.
Its hard when you know there's something wrong with you and when you tell it or ask help from your so called "friends" or "family" they'll just ignore you or say you're just over reacting.
Thank you so much for finding and posting all these incredibly interesting videos. I’ve been watching them for days and can’t get enough
"I just wanna keep everybody happy"😭Hope you find joy in your life.💜
Hi Pika,
Thank you so much for posting these interviews. I find them very interesting. My mother majored in Psychology in University, and I sat in on a few of her classes. I found the psychiatric discussions in the classroom were extremely useful and interesting.
I've been in a psych wards a few times. I think the ones hearing voices and seeing people that are not there are the saddest. The voices are always mean and evil. I always felt normal compared to them. Being bipolar is no fun either, but I would never want to switch places. So sad
Trilafon?
Poor thing. I hope she’s ok now.😢
Who knows if she's still here with us now I hope she is tho
Mental illness is so very cruel. Many of us suffer. I'm so thankful that videos like this spread awareness. Bless this sweet gal's heart.
I watched a few of these, they are fascinating, I am so struck by how self aware the “patient” is on these recordings. Would love to know that these people went on to have peace and happiness at some point in life.🌸🌺🙏🌺🌸✌️💕
That poor girl is crying out loud for help with her family, she just wants it to stop.. this is her escape..
I wish I could reach back in time and give this girl a hug. I do not think she is schizophrenic, she may have had an episode of schizo-effective disorder which is essentially episodic bouts of schizophrenia like symptoms that thru meds or ECT passes and they can go back to feeling sane again. I'm married to someone who has these occasional episodes and requires hospitalisation. But when she's better she back to herself again.
I believe her schizoid experience that included hallucinations was brought on by repressed anxiety and that she is not truly schizoidal or paranoid as an ongoing illness.
She’s so well spoken. Not one ‘like’ in her sentences.
My sister has these weird episodes every few months. Her eyes stop blinking and she smiles at you but you can see the rage building up. Its scary as f. She is in her mid forties and has been kinda crazy her whole life. I spend as much time with her as possible just to make sure her daughters (3 and 6 l are OK. Most often I have to leave and hope god looks after them because she goes into rages and is in her own reality. I've never seen her attack the kids but I wouldn't be surprised. She lost her first daughter for a year when she was 3 and I had temp. Custody until I couldn't due to her showing up at all hours and me having to call the cops. I felt it was too violent and unpredictable of a situation to expose my daughter to this so I gave custody of her kid to the state and stepped away from any contact with her. She retaliated by stealing all of my daughters valuables and money she had in her room when I wasn't home . my daughter is still traumatized by her and it hurts me to think I didn't do enough to shield her from it. The only reason I'm back in contact with her is to keep an eye on her kids. I have them almost every weekend but its hard when I have to pretend to be friends with someone I don't like or respect. Also its so my parents , who are both 80, can have assurance that the girls are OK. I don't want them to be stressed. Felt good to finally let this out. Pray for her girls not me, I'm at peace with the burden of being the younger brother of a crazy ass bioch.
Not sure where you have found these videos , appreciate the upload. It was a scary time with psychiatric hospitals back then and even today. They still don’t truly know what’s happening ...
This brought me to tears...I remember screaming at my mom one day trying to explain and said “ I can hear you fighting in my head!”
Schitsoaffective disorder with mania and psychosis. 🤷♀️
Sweet girl...she is very understanding...I wonder if she became a nurse like her mom ? She has compassion
she just wants to go home in the second interview
Such a beautiful person inside and outside as well. She’d be in her late 70s now, if she’s still around. I hope she had a better life as she grew older.
She has such a comforting voice
What a sweet young girl. I sincerely hope she found help and healing that lasted.
I just wanted to reach through the screen and give her a hug. Poor girl
I had exactly the same reaction, Mary. These poor people deserves so much compassion and love. Much more than f***k medication the doctors gave them at this era.
Sounds like she's having memories of her mom and dad and things that actually happened her whole life and they had a bad effect on her throughout her life and she didn't know how to cope, which caused her trauma and she thinks she's still hearing the arguing but it's not really there. Very sad 😪
Bless her heart she is so sweet this is heart breaking.
Psychiatrists and therapist now give clients information about their mental illnesses and encouraging activity, self-care and stability. It's not just passive and repetitive questions about how they're feeling now vs. last week.
I wouldn't consider her as having a schizophrenic episode. This is emotional trauma, PTSD, From an emotionally neglected child resulting in low self-esteem and a co-dependency strategy for survival of the basic humanistic needs to feel safe, loved and belonging. I can totally relate to this.
People are really crazy now a days. More antidepressants, anxiety, PTSD meds prescribed than ever. Also anger management, opioid epidemic etc....
Thank you so much for sharin! What a nice found! I am so happy. Thanks a lot
She is so beautiful!! God bless her soul!
Hmm what was in those shots? Strange the voices only started after the first
With all these Southern accents, these have to have been filmed in Milledgeville, GA State Hospital for the Mentally Ill. The facility is gone now but served all of Georgia and surrounding states.
I don't really hear much of an accent. I think the Boomers had less Southern accents than their WW2 parents.
@david lincoln brooks That makes sense as well. Sounds more likely than Milledgeville. Glad someone else noticed the southern drawl.
No it was filmed in Mississippi. The original uploader mentioned it one time.
Notice how polite she is?
That's how we were raised in the 60s. She was raised in her younger years in the 50s.
She says, "Excuse me " a lot.
Now, people rarely think about how they're presenting themselves.
Childhood trauma, such as growing up in a home where there's a lot of fighting., can affect how we deal with life, in general, as adults.
I hope she's better now. She's probably 15 years older than I. She'd be in her late 70s
All these people on here saying it’s not schizophrenia, many types of schizophrenia are caused by childhood trauma . Even something as simple as moving home or changing school can set this off . I do love these interviews they are so enlightening thank you for posting them.
My heart hurts for this soul. She was treated horribly and instead of helping her she was gaslight to really believe that she was taking up too much attention. Brainwashed by thinking she is supposed to listen to others and not speak up about her needs.
poor kid, breaks my heart, but also how little we know about all this even today in 2020.....not much has changed
What a delightful young lady. I hope she made a full recovery and went on to live a healthy life. ❤
I love the way she speaks, and the doctor. The way people spoke back in the day seems so familiar and more refined compared to today.
trans-atlantic accent
That's not a transatlantic accent. Its a southern accent.
This is the only thing I am scared of! At the same tym .. the only thing I want to devote my career to be in specialised ..to cure those patients!
You can’t cure this disease
this interview is just horrible....nothing wrong with this girl...just the system!
Firstly i dont think you guys are listening or reading the info at all. Shes regressed to child like behaviour when shes not a child, shes married! She hears voices some she cant understand because they are in Japanese... How is she lucid at all!
@@aprilltaylor8870 muffled voices can sound like a foreign language. The father is...so big and loud..and scares me. There is trouble in the home. She was trying to please everyone one hundred percent of the time. For years on end. Trauma
@@aprilltaylor8870 she had Japanese neighbours and couldn't understand them. I wish life was as simple as you seem to think it is.
Her voice is so soft, and gentle it makes me so sad to see her like this...
This girl isn’t I’ll , she’s afraid and needs to feel protected.
I grew up in Tennessee and Arkansas. Arkansas accent is a little different from Tennessee. She sounds like she has a Tennessee accent.
This unfortunate young girl says she was always afraid of her father; what kind of a father frightens his daughter? And this was in the 2nd video, the "after" video where she's supposedly improved. Maybe so, but she's obviously medicated, but the source of her anxiety and fear seems like it hasn't gone away. The worthless psychiatrist does not follow up on her statement of being very afraid of her father. But no where is she "acutely psychotic."
@UClZbGmB0MgZsQbUcMd0xF3Q Thanks for the explanation. But i think I would re-title.
What I find Amazing is how sweet these girls seem. I feel so sorry for them. Mind problems are so cruel.
this poor poor sweet girl. I feel so bad for her. I also know what she's going through sometimes
