She was actually doing a really good job communicating her experiences in a way that can be understood. Number one thing that strikes me when I hear about people’s experiences with schizophrenia is how exhausting it sounds.
I have Schizo and the only thing that Will help us Who have this is freedom. The clothes we wear, being inside. Words especially Words fk with our heads,. Traumatic expériences but like its all linked to everything. Sounds. Its like being hyponotized 24/7 in autopilot unless im outside doing meditation & when i Do méditation,its like I see the world for what IT is no Words just surroundedby trees, natural things & suddenly im mentally free. They call this mental illness but IT was created and its still going but its everything around. The material. And its getting worse everyday. I just need the courage to drop IT all and live naturally. The first time I had this intense meditation where suddenly i was out of m'y body and i could feel everything around me and m'y intuition just told me likethe physical world is and illusion.i couldnt deny what i was seeing. IT was too strong. M'y thoughts were haunting me at first until i went outside and the trees were suddenly Alive and its like I could communicate telepathicaly and i could feel the energy Everywhere going Up and down my spine. That experienced changed the way i see everything and im mostly certain that humains can naturaly communicate telepathicaly and that words were invented with the purpose of taking that away from us and adapting . Its not a human évolution. Its a d'évolution. Not only that when the out of body expériences happened. I remembered everything about being born. And IT all just clicked. Knowledge is a rumor until its Lived in the body
@@Psych369 very remarkable thoughts Psych. Me and my brother used to talk about advanced mental availabilities and communication methods. Some people develop differently or sit at different stages in the human evolution. Keep an open mind and don’t mind the people that are not as advanced as you. Sometimes the simple things are what makes us the happiest. Also remember, we love you. Always. ❤️
@@Psych369 yeah interesting insights, I have struggled with similar over sensitivty for a long time. It is likely that many with such 'mental illness' are just sensitives and are struggling with the parts of the brain, intuition and awareness which is switched off in most other people, and yes words/labels/constructs totally distract from a more pure experience of life. I would consider taking up something like the Wim Hof method too, get in nature and develop more of a grounded foundation, even resistance training, martial arts, focus on developing the body more and get out of the mind. Breath work can be amazing though, it can help iron out a lot of the physical stress and even potentially resolve the over activity that is going on inside.
My daughter is a CNA who works for a home medical company. One of her clients had catatonic depression. This was the first time my daughter had ever had a mentally ill client, and it was by far her most difficult. She initially met her client while she was having a great response to her medication, but as time wore on she saw her wilt and disappear into herself just a little more every day, until she showed up one day to find her client in bed, staring off into the distance, with absolutely no response. It tore my daughter up to see this once- vibrant woman no longer responsive. She sat by her bed and talked to her, read to her, but never broke through. Her client was eventually institutionalized, and she never saw her again. My daughter grieved for her client. It was a tough initiation into psychiatric care. It takes a very special person to work in mental health.
I wonder if it is the same case for Lucy Fletcher on the couch since her parents said something about her not wanting to move and leave the couch? Her parents were still so wrong to neglect her. I feel so sad about the world and how some poor souls can't deal with the harsh world. I'm an adult and the world still scares me tbh. May God help us.
THAT feeling when one is genuinely depressed so badly that they cannot move? When there is absolutely no energy left at all. And they just lay there like a barely alive roadkill hoping that the next car will put an end to it.
Interesting it can almost be a bit like paralysis, almost like being trapped in a certain state of fight and flight/hypersensitivity. What I found really interesting just yesterday was watching the before and after of Cecilia on the Special Books for Kids channel, in the original interview she is quite tense/highly strung then in the after she looks completely different because she is far more relaxed and naturally expressive. I think this goes to show how mental illness sometimes can be just a mind/neurological/body phenomena and maybe it is retrainable by retraining the body, even just getting people relaxed properly and unstuck.
@@kova1577 This lady is a dear friend of mine…. We are going to lunch tomorrow…… she is now 77 & doing well. She went on to be a school teacher in Ontario as she is originally from Quebec & travelled the world with her mom.
How she’s dressed isn’t really for clubbing or anything...pretty standard everyday women’s fashion for the time. She probably dressed like that for work, plus people did used to dress up for a doctor visit then.
They still do in Europe. Unfortunately the US has lost their ways. Imagine when we saw people in pjs going to the store😅 not common over there and unseen.
@@billyamer9314 it's not about dressing for the doctor but to look good. You don't have the concept and it's fine but once you've seen it and experienced it, there's no going back. I can't and will never wear pjs anywhere. I do think its an american culture though and I think it's cool if you like it, but I prefer to dress good.
I was in my 20s during the 60s (I'm 77 now). First, her dress style was prevalent for young women, inspired by Twiggy, who introduced the MOD fashion of the 60s. Second, patient consent in the 60s was not a practice. By walking into the office of a medical professional, you essentially were "consenting."
I am not a medical professional, but one of the things that I noticed is an almost absent blinking of the eyes. Only occasionally does she fully blink.
👋 schizophrenic here. It’s.. interesting to see somebody else who has it. Especially so long ago. Luckily I’ve also been seeking help for a while and I’m now on medication and relatively stable
Back in college I attended a conference by a clinical psychologist who was herself a paranoid schizophrenic: She would just disregard the "voices" her mind hallucinated hearing.
@@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq Well she is very lucky then, for many the voices would only get angrier and more insistent until it becomes just shouting... If ignored
It’s so nice to come across a reaction video (as much as I enjoy the music reactions) where I actually learn something about a really important subject -and to listen to someone who can talk eloquently. Thank you!
Thanks so much Verbena, that's great to hear it's helpful. I'm aiming to do one reaction a week. Last week was Mania in bipolar and i've just finished filming a reaction to OCD. Graet to hear it's helpful, please share with your colleagues if you think it could help them! Any conditions in particular you'd like to see reactions to Verbena? Love from Sydney!
@@DrSylgreat work. Keep it up. I've already shared to a few of my friends... 👍🏼 Keep it coming! Would love to see depression, anxiety and related disorders...maybe neurocognitive disorders too? I've just started studying psychiatry and we're having vacations so it's really helpful to see cases and explanation like this. Thank you Dr.!
He is a very compassionate medical doctors, many psychiatrists here in the U.S., particularly those working in government hospitals, regard psychiatric patients as little less than weirdos.
When I was diagnosed Catatonic last year I was completely mute save for occasional echolalia. It's really bizarre seeing a similar condition look so different
I've seen my mom in Catatonic states when I was younger. It was very scary for me as a child not understanding what was happening. Then she would have to go to the hospital and be fine for months until she was recovered. Each time it took shook therapy to bring her out of it. She would be okay for a few years then it would happen again. She passed ten years ago from natural causes. But, I guess as she got older meds changed it after I was in my mid 20s it didn't happen anymore. I can only attribute it to meds.
@@kiki29073 did your mum stop having it then? My son had not been eating and went into that state but he had a drip feeding him with vitamins and fluids . He was much better in the morning but then they decided to retain him he still laughs to himself
This is my dear friend who is now 77. This was in Quebec not France. This video was in 1964 She went on to be a school teacher & travelled the world. She currently lives on her own & is doing well.
I am so happy to hear this young lady went on in life. I would love to know how she did in life. One has to feel sorry for her when watching the video.
@@garytennant210 please don’t feel sorry for her……. She went on to college, became a teacher & travelled the world with her mom. She is currently 77 and doing very well. I’m actually taking her to lunch in an hour. 🙏🏼
One of my best friends is a therapist and has worked in the field of mental health for years, including high acuity in-patient settings. She’s seen a lot, including witnessing a coworker being stabbed by a patient. She says the scariest thing she’s ever seen is catatonia. There was a resident who’s treatment gradually stopped working and his catatonia returned. She hadn’t seen him untreated, only knew him as a friendly, lively person. But slowly over days everything slowed down until he was essentially like a manikin. He completely stopped responding to stimuli and would remain in whatever position they placed him in. They only moved him for his care & safety. I don’t mean they posed him for their amusement by any means. But that was the most frightening thing she ever saw. To watch an lovely, outgoing man slowly disappear until he was completely locked in his body & totally aware of what was happening but unable to do anything about it. It really does sound terrifying
It is good that your sharing this. I have seen several people who are schizophrenic in my life but never understood what it really was. I cannot imagine what those folks are going through. Everyone deserves a chance at life. I hope there is a cure someday.
Ms Connie Jo, will you ever, if you want to wake up, you will need an imagination! I c you. You wanted me to comment, I've seen your dream's, I've posted this comment, lucid dreaming is the beginning, admire the people that C , learn what they learn! don't pity anyone-ever! the shit they say could be warnings or advice and why we shouldn't spaz-out be "someone has divine instructions" and your too stupid to interpret them!
@@LtHarkness187 I don’t understand you and calling someone stupid is unkind. I watched this video to learn about this illness. I have empathy for anyone with illness no matter what kind it is. Be happy. Live your life and carry on.
Lol, as for her dress style, one of my earliest school memories (for obvious reasons) was of a particularly beautiful young teacher who wore outfits just like this to school every day. She was the youngest teacher at that elementary school but this was a very common type of dress among the twenty-somethings of the late sixties/early seventies. Even at a very early age I was enamored with her.
@Dach Unless that girl travelled backward in a time machine her dress style is most definitely from the 60s to the early 70s. Look at her shoes. That style didn’t exist in the 50s. The videos shown on his channel range from the forties to decades later. Why would you think this was in the fifties? The very first mini-skirt was invented in 1963, and didn’t spread to the masses for a couple years.
I have seen this video on 3 channels over the last few years. I have wondered who this woman was and if she is still around, and how she’s doing. Give her my best. I have long seen her a person with great potential to become better off and more contented, and I have felt great empathy for her. She has such charm, and sincerity.
I remember my English teacher from my first year of high school, 1971. Angela Glover was her name. She was quite short with long, black hair, was very strikingly beautiful with a very shapely figure & used to wear very short mini dresses. I often wondered how I & all the other boys managed to concentrate enough to learn anything in her classes. However, she managed to keep order very well in class & made sure we all learned correct English. I owe my ability to structure sentences, to punctuate & to spell correctly to her.
His commentary was very insightful and always helps people empathize with patients and erase the stigma, AND HE SPEAKS FRENCH AS WELL? You would make such a great doctor🤗
It's interesting to see how different types of mental illness can have similar symptoms?? (Obvs I'm not a doctor) but I have Social Anxiety Disorder and before I was able to get a hold of it with medicine and therapy, I kind of did similar things? I was always convinced everyone was looking at me and judging me and I was so scared of being perceived negatively I would hyperfocus on every part of my body and make sure I was sitting/standing/walking "correctly" and it felt super forced. I would even refuse to speak in class even if I was called on I was just so panicked. Luckily I'm SO much better now and can do so many things I couldn't before (I even had to leave school for a while), but looking back on it now with more insight I can see how strange I must have come off. Thank god for mental health professionals, I'd be dead without them.
Yeah I mean ppl with schizophrenia can also have very high anxiety levels and paranoia. I have social anxiety, generalised and agoraphobia. You can have levels of paranoia and fear of judgment with "normal" anxiety disorders. For schizophrenia is very very high levels though coupled with delusions and hallucinations. Can be very scary for those dealing with it.
I have social and general anxiety, a bit of agoraphobia, and I too have felt as you have described. Now I'm on medication but I don't think I'm on a high enough dose yet. It's good to know I'm not alone. Take care
My son was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder around 10 years ago and it became worse. He was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia 6 months ago and finally we might get somewhere.
It’s people and cases like this that helped me decide on pursuing a career in psychology (and hopefully specialising in children and adolescents, maybe even trauma response)
the original video of this girl has some weird comments attacking anyone saying anything about her appearance or her behavior. its as if people are somehow jealous or offended by something were saying about her. seems like other crazies attack us to get attention.
I receive treatment for schizoaffective disorder and I want to stress how incredibly insightful the patient is in her description of her catatonic state. I have experienced catatonia before and have barely been able to collect my thoughts, let alone analyze my symptoms or what I'm going through. Thank you Dr. Syl for commenting on this and giving it more context. Love to all
I don't wish to bother you or make you uncomfortable, so do not answer if you don't want to do so, but I would be interested in understanding what you experience during catatonia.
@@tulipalll Difficulty controlling my body, a feeling of freezing in place without being able to will my body to move like you normally can. The usual stuff. Love to you and your loved ones
I am a counselor in the US and these videos are very helpful. They will help me recognize things in my clients. I have always struggled with flat versus blunt affect.
Just so you know, the insight I got from this video is something I'd never have gotten otherwise. It's incredible to me that are experiencing something that to me would be a thought experiment.
Very interesting to hear someone commenting on these videos which sadly come with little to no context and explanations. Thank you! Just one thing: when you were explaining while she talked I couldn't understand you at all. So that was a bit unfortunate. But still overall great insight! 🙏
Thank you for your translation as well as your compassion for your "patient" , and her rights under our HIPAA regulations (even though she's a French citizen lol😉 I'm an Occupational Therapist an have never seen Catatonic Schizophrenia so this was really interesting to me, and I appreciated your input and explanations! How sad that she felt such fear but it's certainly fortuitous that she at least knew how to get some help. God bless her, and I hope that if she is still living that her mental health has improved and she has had a full life.
my daughter had this happen to her in the mall. Her boyfriend called and said she wasn’t moving! She could hear me but couldn’t move or answer me. She couldn’t talk or move at all like this girl
There is another catatonic schizophrenic person interviewed in another "episode" and it's really interesting because a relative of the person being interviewed comments in the comment section regarding a bit more details on his life. For reference I believe the video is called Interview: Catatonic Schizophrenic. Very interesting interview where the patient describes being a pianist but the relative in the comment section said that he actually didnt know how to play but had this obsession over it his entire life. Very sad stuff and I also hope consent was given for that interview as well. Love these videos. Please keep them up!
@@DrSyl awesome! It might be posted by another UA-camr. I'll check now and edit this comment. Edited: found the channel it's under and it's called "ktrypy1111"
This is such a sad illness. It would be really interesting to see what happened in her future. Was she like this the rest of her life? Was she eventually able to continue working? Back then, were there any successful medications to help with this condition? I find these old videos fascinating, but they always make me want to know what the rest of their life was like.
Someone posted on another UA-cam channel that she killed herself. Apparently believing people were after her, she ended up jumping off a bridge to her death. Who knows for sure as it occurred so long ago though.
I discovered Pika's channel years ago! She was attending medical school while posting. Ultimately, she had to stop posting because it got to be too much. She took great care and pride which showed in her channel. Glad others are seeing her work!
God bless her , hope she is well now, in heaven or wherever she is. 🙏 I saw a homeless girl today that I believe had schizophrenia. She wouldn't respond to me. She was in the hot sun and wore winter clothes. It's summertime. I put some Gatorade and an umbrella for her to be protected from the sun by her feet. I hope she will be ok.
@@rameenahmed226 why not hero.... that girl didnt look catatonic at all and id bet your left eye that this was an old video to promote uses of drugs and psychiatrist treatment.
Its analysis like this that confirms that I have no business judging people with mental illness. And neither does the rest of the internet. People say "I don't judge" and with their next breath, judge a person's behavior and value. I had no clue about the things the doctor said until he mentioned them. If I ran across someone like this patient, I would think "well that was different" but assumed she was harmless.
I was watching videos from that channel cause I found them so interesting to observe. I am a junior doctor as well (GP) and I always observe people, I love you are commenting while observing these people, we never get to do that in front of a patient. Nice videos!
I wish the video’s english subtitles were on (as it mentions in the title of the black and white video) to more easily follow along and gain more insight through Dr. Syl’s additional translations. Very impressive translations on your part though! As a Canadian, not living in a French-speaking area of Canada and having to learn French (elementary school through to university) I still struggle to understand spoken French! Not much trouble speaking or writing, but listening and understanding is where I still struggle, so good on ya!
These are interesting, thank you for sharing your insight. I've read reople can sometimes have minor psychotic episodes, and I think I had one 2-day one that was medicine-induced -- when I was a teenager I took Celexa and had a *very* bad reaction to it. Not everyone has a bad reaction, but it put me off SSRIs forever. Aside from feeling like my skeleton wanted to leap out of my mouth and like there bugs all over me, I was having constant thoughts of hurting others or myself, and an agitated reaction to noise and presence other people. I got through it, but there were times I'd space out and come to in the process of doing something I didn't remember starting or want to do. That last part was probably the most scary. I'm nearly 40 now, and haven't had a problem since.
This girl is gorgeous though. I feel horrible she’s sick, I wonder what happend to her, if seems like she is drugged up with benzos to me she is super calm, when she sounds like what she is experiencing is terrifying. No lobotomy but drugs? Gorgeous lady my god I hope she lived a full life .
Doctor, have you ever read the book The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat? It is a 1985 book by neurologist Oliver Sacks describing the case histories of some of his patients. I read the small getting my master's degree in school psychology. I think you would find it interesting.
Would be interested in seeing you explain more videos from that channel! I also recently stumbled upon it and found myself entranced for hours. Your commentary was interesting and easy to follow, please do more!
The way she sits its as if she was a life sized barbie doll with built in articulation. The thought alone gives me the shivers my heart goes out to her.
My thoughts too. I came here for some recreational research. She is the epitome of femininity. I could see why she might need a closer look. Possibly long term therapy. I doubt many people were looking at her or out to get her. Yeah right. MK-Ultra with a few medications.
I noticed how well groomed and attractive she looks and wondered in her state if she had help, like a caring friend or family member. Also this seems like the 1960s and I'm from Canada, but my aunt worked in an office during that time and she told me about a coworker who wore go-go boots and dresses that short to work, so I think that was just the style at that time. I remember my aunt said the woman's underwear matched the fabric of her dress, because whenever she bent over to get files from the filing cabinet her underwear would show.

Hey... I'm interested in studying reality, life, death, philosophy... Visit my channel for some videos on a wide variety of fascinating topics. Cheers. :))
I'm not an expert at all and have no experience or knowledge on the matter. I found it amazing that a person can sit and talk for a long time period without even once blinking their eyes.
I would say this is the mid-60s and in terms of dress, this is what most girls would have been wearing at the time so it’s not particularly over-dressed but she is very well presented. She would be in her late 70s by now, I hope she got well and has had a good life
Been diagnosed with schizophrenia since 88 it stinks just stay on my meds was hard in the past now get montly injection been arrested numerous times because of my illnesses it seems the older I get I'm learning to deal with what,I have better control over my thoughts
I literally cried from how nice the interviewer sounds. Exhausting is right. It feels empty and meaningless what I have to say vs what they make me say. I cried cause it is down to how I never got rescued from my home and adopted and struggling with my health throughout the attention placed on this mental health concept makes me want a mom so bad cause mine can't be, but it's just dangerous to say that and not be adult enough. Not knowing anymore can take your life away in America today. It makes me wish I deserved that softerness still. Care is it's own alien but it's nice to hear and know someone did work like that.
I have seen this…..This Young Lady was very much able to say what she has been feeling she is almost like a Robot…. Someone in the Comments said she died 3 yrs after this…..So SAD…..
I think the comments saying she met a bad end are just people wanting to make others feel bad. I have read several such comments and they are all inconsistent. It's nonsense.
I can only imagine what it feels like to have thoughts from what feels like an external force and to not be able to trust in yourself or your own actions. It must be terrifying and intrusive all at once.
Its because your an NPC, your niece is fine, learn her quirks, relate too her, follow what she follows, let her be her!! if shes balls to the wall crazy just support and be there!, don't change her! listen too her conspiracy-bull shit, if you have too, then you can be a real guardian!
I remember when I was taking an intro to psychology course my sister told me that a picture she took with her phone was moving + she heard a whispering sound next to her as the image was kind of moving. So that made me focus, and I gave her an example of the whispering, and she said "yes, yup, that's how it sounded like". It made me scared because when I was 16-17 I did have the same thing once, scary as hell (imagine you being alone in the hosue and suddenly you get scared then a sound next to your ear is like "Booo :)", like it knows that you're scared and it decides to freak you out for fun). But that was it. And I did become very very bad/ill after taking antidepressants. I'm 22 and in medical school and when I heard my sister saying what she said (she's 12 , so most likely it's the hormones kicking into high gear skewing things up a bit), I told her a one time thing is not a problem. But inside I was like "Oh no, I hope this thing is not running in the family; because it sucks". I did seek help (talking with a psychologist) because I was in a rut, and I was like "bluh" towards my academics, and careless towards things, not seeing the point of life (At one point I was like writing "Ok, I'm 22, give or take, I got about 50 years to live; that's too much" I was kind of feeling that since I'm suffering day by day, 50 years is like "hahahahaha; yeah right, it's just too much to handle". And I did hurt myself one night, I guess because I was focused on the anhedonia, I was trying to try and feel like I used to before. It felt for so long that I can't feel things fully, like I will not have a state of mind/mood through out the day; it was mostly flat and squeezed. Then was where I decided to talk to a psychologist. It did feel like antidepressants did scew me up a bit. But I'm starting to get out of the whole I was in, I'm kind of doing things more and such; talk therapy works...
Great to hear that the talking therapies are having a positive impact , I know they are a lot of hard work but definitely worth it. Good on you! I would only add that there are many antidepressants to choose from so if you had a bad experience with one, that doesn't necessarily mean the rest would have the same side effects. Thank you so much for sharing and commenting and wishing you a wonderful week.
I had a therapist who would tell me about her childhood abuse and it felt really awkward. I felt like I was being her therapist. I dont know why but it was like I would tell her about something I experienced as a child then try to top it or tell a worse story. Then shame me for feeling sad about it still saying "it's not still happening so why does it bother you". I never went to another one again lol.
I'm living in Sydney, diagnosed with DID. I'm studying psychology... I want to do theoretical research. The clip is rather short, we have to take it for granted that the diagnosis is correct considering the historical position of psychology/psychiatry at the time, but very interesting. I've seen a few of them, they are very interesting for educational purposes. Perhaps it's time a new series was done, with updated info.
I watched this interview a few months ago and the only thing I really understood was this girl schizophrenic. So thank you for the helping us understand!
Hello Doctor, I watched her interview previously and it had english subtitles. It would've been great to enable them during your reaction/brief analysis. Greetings!
I’m a psych pre med so my major degree, nearly completed, will be in psychology/neuroscience. I’ve had extensive classes from every angle involving these devastating disorders and I have to admit, psychiatrists are built different
I saw a different version of this video. In the one I saw she asked the girl to get up and walk long after the interview began. Also there were english subtitles.
Hi syl, can you explain a bit more about the nature of the illness and how it presents when you start a video. That would really help lay people to understand it better.
I think the reason why she went to the Psychiatrist Ward or building is because she no longer wants to be with her hurtful parents and desires others give her the attention and support she’s always needed and wanted and to not be viewed as an inadequate person. Sadly, you’re viewed that way there anyway. What she needs to do is go to the Protestant church in her area and seek the love and truth she needs. She’s an adult now, so she can do it. I hope she’s not on psych meds today. If so, she’s probably chemically Lobo+omized by now.
I’m diagnosed with DID and until you said it was “thought blocking” I just assumed she was dissociating in that moment 😅😅 although I suppose mine would be more along your other example of “listening to auditory hallucinations” for a second
I'm schizophrenic for more than 10 years, I had catatonic episode that lasted almost a year but I was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic. I don't think my doctors take good care of me or my parents. I'm 30 now and I have no job, money and still live with my mom. By the way, my doctor gave paroxetine for anxiety because when I leave the house, I feel too much anxious and I feel dizzy and lack of air to breathe (sorry about my english, I'm actually brazilian). Thank you for your video, it helped me alot with my insight.
My son diagnosed at fifteen despite all our efforts became catatonic by 26 it’s heartbreaking he doesn’t talk barely he really has to push it out. I watched my son change too many times. He became a different person. He was brilliant when little a Savant but became dangerous so the meds dumbed him down.
I have just found your reaction videos and I hope you have done more because I have hit the subscribe button. I find these videos fascinating and your analysis is excellent.
I wonder if her good grooming/self care was the result of living with her mother, someone who cares for her. I could be wrong, but I can't imagine her sitting in front of a mirror doing her own hair or picking out her own clothes. It's so tragic. I hope she got a better hold of her symptoms later in her life.

@@Psych369 yeah interesting insights, I have struggled with similar over sensitivty for a long time. It is likely that many with such 'mental illness' are just sensitives and are struggling with the parts of the brain, intuition and awareness which is switched off in most other people, and yes words/labels/constructs totally distract from a more pure experience of life. I would consider taking up something like the Wim Hof method too, get in nature and develop more of a grounded foundation, even resistance training, martial arts, focus on developing the body more and get out of the mind. Breath work can be amazing though, it can help iron out a lot of the physical stress and even potentially resolve the over activity that is going on inside.
You speak french?
@@learningtoyoutube9033 I stand differently when I'm away from the piano...
My daughter is a CNA who works for a home medical company. One of her clients had catatonic depression. This was the first time my daughter had ever had a mentally ill client, and it was by far her most difficult. She initially met her client while she was having a great response to her medication, but as time wore on she saw her wilt and disappear into herself just a little more every day, until she showed up one day to find her client in bed, staring off into the distance, with absolutely no response. It tore my daughter up to see this once- vibrant woman no longer responsive. She sat by her bed and talked to her, read to her, but never broke through. Her client was eventually institutionalized, and she never saw her again. My daughter grieved for her client. It was a tough initiation into psychiatric care. It takes a very special person to work in mental health.
That's so awful 😢 seems they should have stop the medication? Maybe something else or something... 🫂😔🕊
I suffer from AD/HD, so this condition must be the polar opposite of catatonic, at least physically speaking.
I wonder if it is the same case for Lucy Fletcher on the couch since her parents said something about her not wanting to move and leave the couch? Her parents were still so wrong to neglect her. I feel so sad about the world and how some poor souls can't deal with the harsh world. I'm an adult and the world still scares me tbh. May God help us.
THAT feeling when one is genuinely depressed so badly that they cannot move? When there is absolutely no energy left at all. And they just lay there like a barely alive roadkill hoping that the next car will put an end to it.
I believe the doctor makes her walk at the beginning to show how little movement she has it’s almost robotic
And because catatonic schizophrenia causes odd movements in people. This is the doctor pointing out one of the symptoms.
Interesting it can almost be a bit like paralysis, almost like being trapped in a certain state of fight and flight/hypersensitivity. What I found really interesting just yesterday was watching the before and after of Cecilia on the Special Books for Kids channel, in the original interview she is quite tense/highly strung then in the after she looks completely different because she is far more relaxed and naturally expressive. I think this goes to show how mental illness sometimes can be just a mind/neurological/body phenomena and maybe it is retrainable by retraining the body, even just getting people relaxed properly and unstuck.
Yeah, really robotic, very sad.😢
@@petecabrina That's essentially what cognitive behaviour therapy follows!
For us who don't speak French the "interuptions" is quite helpful in getting some understanding of what this young lady was going thru.
There is another channel with her interview and it has subtitles and no interuptions The channel is "Pika Grape Snack" ☮️🌈💖
Wonder where she is now. If she’s still alive after so many decades
To anyone wondering if they can trust his translation, yes you can. It's pretty accurate.

This lady is a dear friend of mine…. We are going to lunch tomorrow…… she is now 77 & doing well.
She went on to be a school teacher in Ontario as she is originally from Quebec & travelled the world with her mom.
@@creatorschild8247 how nice for her
How she’s dressed isn’t really for clubbing or anything...pretty standard everyday women’s fashion for the time. She probably dressed like that for work, plus people did used to dress up for a doctor visit then.
I dress up for a Dr's visit now. Pulling out the nice blouse for Dr Malony.
Mini skirts were just in and they represented being "with it" and "hip" right?
They still do in Europe. Unfortunately the US has lost their ways. Imagine when we saw people in pjs going to the store😅 not common over there and unseen.
@@lizgaby9761 no one dresses up for the doctor here
@@billyamer9314 it's not about dressing for the doctor but to look good. You don't have the concept and it's fine but once you've seen it and experienced it, there's no going back. I can't and will never wear pjs anywhere. I do think its an american culture though and I think it's cool if you like it, but I prefer to dress good.
Wow, it seems like she is holding her breath the entire time. My heart goes with her.
I was in my 20s during the 60s (I'm 77 now). First, her dress style was prevalent for young women, inspired by Twiggy, who introduced the MOD fashion of the 60s. Second, patient consent in the 60s was not a practice. By walking into the office of a medical professional, you essentially were "consenting."
Who are you? I think that I went to Uni with you?!

@@Improbable_Fiction Oh, I see. You reminded me of an old acquaintance from Luxembourg.
@@barneyronnie I was born, and raised and have lived in Toulouse, France, my whole life.
@@Improbable_Fiction Sounds like a great life! I used to vacation in Southern France -'a beautiful country.
I am not a medical professional, but one of the things that I noticed is an almost absent blinking of the eyes.
Only occasionally does she fully blink.
Great pick!
Yep, the UA-camr here pointed that out right in the beginning and since then, I've paid attention to it. I watched her blink exactly once...
Yes that would be catatonic. But also keep note that they do not specify medication and or treatment done prior to this interview.
It is particularly interesting because it is such an automatic thing. One might think that the brain has little to do with it.
He mentioned that.
👋 schizophrenic here. It’s.. interesting to see somebody else who has it. Especially so long ago. Luckily I’ve also been seeking help for a while and I’m now on medication and relatively stable
Whatkind of meds if you dont mind me asking.
@@rakgadim.mohlala1324 it’s something I’d rather not mention on... well, UA-cam
Good on you! Best way of maintaining your well-being is sticking to your medication.
Back in college I attended a conference by a clinical psychologist who was herself a paranoid schizophrenic: She would just disregard the "voices" her mind hallucinated hearing.
@@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq Well she is very lucky then, for many the voices would only get angrier and more insistent until it becomes just shouting... If ignored
It’s so nice to come across a reaction video (as much as I enjoy the music reactions) where I actually learn something about a really important subject -and to listen to someone who can talk eloquently. Thank you!
It sucks, cause she seems like a beautiful, gentle young woman.
please do more of these pointing out the symptoms. It's really helpful (as a med student).

@@DrSylgreat work. Keep it up. I've already shared to a few of my friends... 👍🏼
Keep it coming! Would love to see depression, anxiety and related disorders...maybe neurocognitive disorders too?
I've just started studying psychiatry and we're having vacations so it's really helpful to see cases and explanation like this. Thank you Dr.!
He is a very compassionate medical doctors, many psychiatrists here in the U.S., particularly those working in government hospitals, regard psychiatric patients as little less than weirdos.
When I was diagnosed Catatonic last year I was completely mute save for occasional echolalia. It's really bizarre seeing a similar condition look so different
Our son had it. But he had not been drinking or eating and had a low body weight so who knows
I've seen my mom in Catatonic states when I was younger. It was very scary for me as a child not understanding what was happening. Then she would have to go to the hospital and be fine for months until she was recovered. Each time it took shook therapy to bring her out of it. She would be okay for a few years then it would happen again. She passed ten years ago from natural causes. But, I guess as she got older meds changed it after I was in my mid 20s it didn't happen anymore. I can only attribute it to meds.
@@kiki29073 did your mum stop having it then? My son had not been eating and went into that state but he had a drip feeding him with vitamins and fluids . He was much better in the morning but then they decided to retain him he still laughs to himself

I don’t care what you believe.
I’ve been showing her some of the wonderful & positive comments…… she will have a great laugh at yours.
One of my best friends is a therapist and has worked in the field of mental health for years, including high acuity in-patient settings. She’s seen a lot, including witnessing a coworker being stabbed by a patient. She says the scariest thing she’s ever seen is catatonia. There was a resident who’s treatment gradually stopped working and his catatonia returned. She hadn’t seen him untreated, only knew him as a friendly, lively person. But slowly over days everything slowed down until he was essentially like a manikin. He completely stopped responding to stimuli and would remain in whatever position they placed him in. They only moved him for his care & safety. I don’t mean they posed him for their amusement by any means. But that was the most frightening thing she ever saw. To watch an lovely, outgoing man slowly disappear until he was completely locked in his body & totally aware of what was happening but unable to do anything about it. It really does sound terrifying
It is good that your sharing this. I have seen several people who are schizophrenic in my life but never understood what it really was. I cannot imagine what those folks are going through. Everyone deserves a chance at life. I hope there is a cure someday.
Ms Connie Jo, will you ever, if you want to wake up, you will need an imagination! I c you.

Lol, as for her dress style, one of my earliest school memories (for obvious reasons) was of a particularly beautiful young teacher who wore outfits just like this to school every day. She was the youngest teacher at that elementary school but this was a very common type of dress among the twenty-somethings of the late sixties/early seventies. Even at a very early age I was enamored with her.
@Dach
Unless that girl travelled backward in a time machine her dress style is most definitely from the 60s to the early 70s. Look at her shoes. That style didn’t exist in the 50s. The videos shown on his channel range from the forties to decades later. Why would you think this was in the fifties? The very first mini-skirt was invented in 1963, and didn’t spread to the masses for a couple years.
This lady who is now 77 is my dear friend. She ended up being a school teacher & travelled the world.
She’s doing very well 🙏🏼
@DannyDeVito this is my dear friend… she’s 77 now….. this video was in 1964
I have seen this video on 3 channels over the last few years. I have wondered who this woman was and if she is still around, and how she’s doing. Give her my best. I have long seen her a person with great potential to become better off and more contented, and I have felt great empathy for her. She has such charm, and sincerity.
I remember my English teacher from my first year of high school, 1971. Angela Glover was her name. She was quite short with long, black hair, was very strikingly beautiful with a very shapely figure & used to wear very short mini dresses. I often wondered how I & all the other boys managed to concentrate enough to learn anything in her classes. However, she managed to keep order very well in class & made sure we all learned correct English. I owe my ability to structure sentences, to punctuate & to spell correctly to her.
His commentary was very insightful and always helps people empathize with patients and erase the stigma, AND HE SPEAKS FRENCH AS WELL? You would make such a great doctor🤗
It's interesting to see how different types of mental illness can have similar symptoms?? (Obvs I'm not a doctor) but I have Social Anxiety Disorder and before I was able to get a hold of it with medicine and therapy, I kind of did similar things? I was always convinced everyone was looking at me and judging me and I was so scared of being perceived negatively I would hyperfocus on every part of my body and make sure I was sitting/standing/walking "correctly" and it felt super forced. I would even refuse to speak in class even if I was called on I was just so panicked. Luckily I'm SO much better now and can do so many things I couldn't before (I even had to leave school for a while), but looking back on it now with more insight I can see how strange I must have come off. Thank god for mental health professionals, I'd be dead without them.
Yeah I mean ppl with schizophrenia can also have very high anxiety levels and paranoia. I have social anxiety, generalised and agoraphobia. You can have levels of paranoia and fear of judgment with "normal" anxiety disorders. For schizophrenia is very very high levels though coupled with delusions and hallucinations. Can be very scary for those dealing with it.
I have social and general anxiety, a bit of agoraphobia, and I too have felt as you have described. Now I'm on medication but I don't think I'm on a high enough dose yet. It's good to know I'm not alone. Take care
Xanax and Dilaudid will cure anything😊
My son was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder around 10 years ago and it became worse. He was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia 6 months ago and finally we might get somewhere.
Me too! But have not got help yet but it sounds like if I recognize and talk about it it helps. Very similar feelings! Yes thanks😊
It’s people and cases like this that helped me decide on pursuing a career in psychology (and hopefully specialising in children and adolescents, maybe even trauma response)
Please ... help me! I keep getting sicker and sicker.
She is hauntingly beautiful.
You're weird lol.
the original video of this girl has some weird comments attacking anyone saying anything about her appearance or her behavior. its as if people are somehow jealous or offended by something were saying about her. seems like other crazies attack us to get attention.
@Glenn Newton I do wear glasses. But brother... That lady is not cute.
@Glenn Newton I say you're weird. This lady has issues and you're focused on how pretty she is man. 🤔
@Glenn Newton that girl has a strange body or that outfit is so wrong
what sucks about this illness it affects young people who are just starting in life and suddenly they're gone forever
Yep my brother in a nutshell. Locked up somewhere in Wales never to be seen again.
I receive treatment for schizoaffective disorder and I want to stress how incredibly insightful the patient is in her description of her catatonic state. I have experienced catatonia before and have barely been able to collect my thoughts, let alone analyze my symptoms or what I'm going through. Thank you Dr. Syl for commenting on this and giving it more context. Love to all
I don't wish to bother you or make you uncomfortable, so do not answer if you don't want to do so, but I would be interested in understanding what you experience during catatonia.

So good to hear it's useful James, comment the link to any videos you'd like a reaction video!😍
Very interesting to hear someone commenting on these videos which sadly come with little to no context and explanations. Thank you!
Just one thing: when you were explaining while she talked I couldn't understand you at all. So that was a bit unfortunate. But still overall great insight! 🙏
Thank you for your translation as well as your compassion for your "patient" , and her rights under our HIPAA regulations (even though she's a French citizen lol😉 I'm an Occupational Therapist an have never seen Catatonic Schizophrenia so this was really interesting to me, and I appreciated your input and explanations! How sad that she felt such fear but it's certainly fortuitous that she at least knew how to get some help. God bless her, and I hope that if she is still living that her mental health has improved and she has had a full life.
If you ever find an example of autistic catatonia, Id love to see a video on it. I have it, and haven't ever met anyone else like that in real life.
this looks like an old propaganda PR work for psychiatrist industry and pharma...
my daughter had this happen to her in the mall. Her boyfriend called and said she wasn’t moving! She could hear me but couldn’t move or answer me. She couldn’t talk or move at all like this girl
I hope she is doing well.
There is another catatonic schizophrenic person interviewed in another "episode" and it's really interesting because a relative of the person being interviewed comments in the comment section regarding a bit more details on his life. For reference I believe the video is called Interview: Catatonic Schizophrenic. Very interesting interview where the patient describes being a pianist but the relative in the comment section said that he actually didnt know how to play but had this obsession over it his entire life. Very sad stuff and I also hope consent was given for that interview as well. Love these videos. Please keep them up!

@@DrSyl awesome! It might be posted by another UA-camr. I'll check now and edit this comment.
Edited: found the channel it's under and it's called "ktrypy1111"

Quite unusual if this was the 50's.
Her state of dress and fashion place this late 60's, early 70's.
Always ahead of the curve, the French, in terms of fashion.
I think this footage was from the 60s
Her body movements are really rigid. Like her hands make a slight movement but the rest of her body is dead weight or robotic.
On her outfit, I remember that time well, and this was considered a nice, daily wear dress.
not sure how old this video is but love to see a follow up of how she`s doing today in 2023
This is such a sad illness. It would be really interesting to see what happened in her future. Was she like this the rest of her life? Was she eventually able to continue working? Back then, were there any successful medications to help with this condition? I find these old videos fascinating, but they always make me want to know what the rest of their life was like.
Someone posted on another UA-cam channel that she killed herself. Apparently believing people were after her, she ended up jumping off a bridge to her death. Who knows for sure as it occurred so long ago though.
The Swiss psychiatrist Carl G. Jung saw a spiritual, not particularly or necessarily benevolent, side to many schizophrenia cases.
I discovered Pika's channel years ago! She was attending medical school while posting. Ultimately, she had to stop posting because it got to be too much. She took great care and pride which showed in her channel. Glad others are seeing her work!
This video is amazing. Thanks for the translate as well 😁
God bless her , hope she is well now, in heaven or wherever she is. 🙏 I saw a homeless girl today that I believe had schizophrenia. She wouldn't respond to me. She was in the hot sun and wore winter clothes. It's summertime. I put some Gatorade and an umbrella for her to be protected from the sun by her feet. I hope she will be ok.

@@rameenahmed226 why not hero.... that girl didnt look catatonic at all and id bet your left eye that this was an old video to promote uses of drugs and psychiatrist treatment.
I’ve watched pika grape videos for a long time and always wanted a medical commentary with them. Thank you.
Thank you!!
Its analysis like this that confirms that I have no business judging people with mental illness. And neither does the rest of the internet.
People say "I don't judge" and with their next breath, judge a person's behavior and value.
I had no clue about the things the doctor said until he mentioned them. If I ran across someone like this patient, I would think "well that was different" but assumed she was harmless.
I was watching videos from that channel cause I found them so interesting to observe. I am a junior doctor as well (GP) and I always observe people, I love you are commenting while observing these people, we never get to do that in front of a patient.
Nice videos!
Thank you, Syl, I appreciated your commentary and was glad to learn about thought blocking and pupillary dilation in catatonia.
I wish the video’s english subtitles were on (as it mentions in the title of the black and white video) to more easily follow along and gain more insight through Dr. Syl’s additional translations. Very impressive translations on your part though! As a Canadian, not living in a French-speaking area of Canada and having to learn French (elementary school through to university) I still struggle to understand spoken French! Not much trouble speaking or writing, but listening and understanding is where I still struggle, so good on ya!
These are interesting, thank you for sharing your insight.
I've read reople can sometimes have minor psychotic episodes, and I think I had one 2-day one that was medicine-induced -- when I was a teenager I took Celexa and had a *very* bad reaction to it. Not everyone has a bad reaction, but it put me off SSRIs forever. Aside from feeling like my skeleton wanted to leap out of my mouth and like there bugs all over me, I was having constant thoughts of hurting others or myself, and an agitated reaction to noise and presence other people. I got through it, but there were times I'd space out and come to in the process of doing something I didn't remember starting or want to do. That last part was probably the most scary. I'm nearly 40 now, and haven't had a problem since.
I was on Celexa as well and I had a VERY BAD reaction to it, like lockjaw, paranoia, and I was physically unable to eat, Frick SSRIs
I wonder what eventually happened to her and whether she was able to live a somewhat normal life.
@jgtemperton damn
@jgtemperton how would you know this? Do you even know her name so someone COULD try to find out?
@jgtemperton that is so sad
@jgtemperton Some people just revel in misery and causing misery. I don't believe you for a moment.
@jgtemperton full of crap
This girl is gorgeous though. I feel horrible she’s sick, I wonder what happend to her, if seems like she is drugged up with benzos to me she is super calm, when she sounds like what she is experiencing is terrifying. No lobotomy but drugs? Gorgeous lady my god I hope she lived a full life .
Doctor, have you ever read the book The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat? It is a 1985 book by neurologist Oliver Sacks describing the case histories of some of his patients. I read the small getting my master's degree in school psychology. I think you would find it interesting.
I read it years ago. It was absolutely fascinating. The brain and the mind are such fascinating areas to study.
Would be interested in seeing you explain more videos from that channel! I also recently stumbled upon it and found myself entranced for hours. Your commentary was interesting and easy to follow, please do more!
Your French skills are on point... I was impressed.
The way she sits its as if she was a life sized barbie doll with built in articulation. The thought alone gives me the shivers my heart goes out to her.
She looked good and Dr feel-good made sure he kept her for observation
My thoughts too. I came here for some recreational research. She is the epitome of femininity. I could see why she might need a closer look. Possibly long term therapy. I doubt many people were looking at her or out to get her. Yeah right. MK-Ultra with a few medications.
I noticed how well groomed and attractive she looks and wondered in her state if she had help, like a caring friend or family member. Also this seems like the 1960s and I'm from Canada, but my aunt worked in an office during that time and she told me about a coworker who wore go-go boots and dresses that short to work, so I think that was just the style at that time. I remember my aunt said the woman's underwear matched the fabric of her dress, because whenever she bent over to get files from the filing cabinet her underwear would show.
A very pretty young French girl. I wish that I could have gotten to know her. Maybe go out for tea. Definitely, a sweet, little gal😊

Great idea to do this, the way you put out your feedback makes it easy to remember key points. Thank you.
I would say this is the mid-60s and in terms of dress, this is what most girls would have been wearing at the time so it’s not particularly over-dressed but she is very well presented. She would be in her late 70s by now, I hope she got well and has had a good life
This is invaluable to me as I am writing a book about my schizophrenic grandmother who was hospitalized in 1930's to 1970's.
Id love read it when its finished
Been diagnosed with schizophrenia since 88 it stinks just stay on my meds was hard in the past now get montly injection been arrested numerous times because of my illnesses it seems the older I get I'm learning to deal with what,I have better control over my thoughts
Needed this for a psych class Ty🙏 this really helped because of the little cases of catatonic schizophrenia
thank you for the translation it means a lot
I literally cried from how nice the interviewer sounds. Exhausting is right. It feels empty and meaningless what I have to say vs what they make me say. I cried cause it is down to how I never got rescued from my home and adopted and struggling with my health throughout the attention placed on this mental health concept makes me want a mom so bad cause mine can't be, but it's just dangerous to say that and not be adult enough. Not knowing anymore can take your life away in America today. It makes me wish I deserved that softerness still. Care is it's own alien but it's nice to hear and know someone did work like that.
I like when you translate, so interrupt to your hearts content! 😂
I have seen this…..This Young Lady was very much able to say what she has been feeling she is almost like a Robot….
Someone in the Comments said she died 3 yrs after this…..So SAD…..
I think the comments saying she met a bad end are just people wanting to make others feel bad. I have read several such comments and they are all inconsistent. It's nonsense.
I can only imagine what it feels like to have thoughts from what feels like an external force and to not be able to trust in yourself or your own actions. It must be terrifying and intrusive all at once.
It is sad to see young beautiful people in this condition. I have a niece that suffers from Schizophrenia and it doesn't get better, only worse.
Its because your an NPC, your niece is fine, learn her quirks, relate too her, follow what she follows, let her be her!! if shes balls to the wall crazy just support and be there!, don't change her! listen too her conspiracy-bull shit, if you have too, then you can be a real guardian!
I'm correcting you. She was born and raised in Quebec. This interview was done there as well.
i love ur videos when u react to these ppl with Schizophrenia. i've always found it interesting and finally someone explaining!
I remember when I was taking an intro to psychology course my sister told me that a picture she took with her phone was moving + she heard a whispering sound next to her as the image was kind of moving. So that made me focus, and I gave her an example of the whispering, and she said "yes, yup, that's how it sounded like".
It made me scared because when I was 16-17 I did have the same thing once, scary as hell (imagine you being alone in the hosue and suddenly you get scared then a sound next to your ear is like "Booo :)", like it knows that you're scared and it decides to freak you out for fun). But that was it. And I did become very very bad/ill after taking antidepressants. I'm 22 and in medical school and when I heard my sister saying what she said (she's 12 , so most likely it's the hormones kicking into high gear skewing things up a bit), I told her a one time thing is not a problem. But inside I was like "Oh no, I hope this thing is not running in the family; because it sucks".
I did seek help (talking with a psychologist) because I was in a rut, and I was like "bluh" towards my academics, and careless towards things, not seeing the point of life (At one point I was like writing "Ok, I'm 22, give or take, I got about 50 years to live; that's too much" I was kind of feeling that since I'm suffering day by day, 50 years is like "hahahahaha; yeah right, it's just too much to handle". And I did hurt myself one night, I guess because I was focused on the anhedonia, I was trying to try and feel like I used to before. It felt for so long that I can't feel things fully, like I will not have a state of mind/mood through out the day; it was mostly flat and squeezed.
Then was where I decided to talk to a psychologist. It did feel like antidepressants did scew me up a bit. But I'm starting to get out of the whole I was in, I'm kind of doing things more and such; talk therapy works...
Great to hear that the talking therapies are having a positive impact , I know they are a lot of hard work but definitely worth it. Good on you! I would only add that there are many antidepressants to choose from so if you had a bad experience with one, that doesn't necessarily mean the rest would have the same side effects. Thank you so much for sharing and commenting and wishing you a wonderful week.
I had a therapist who would tell me about her childhood abuse and it felt really awkward. I felt like I was being her therapist. I dont know why but it was like I would tell her about something I experienced as a child then try to top it or tell a worse story. Then shame me for feeling sad about it still saying "it's not still happening so why does it bother you". I never went to another one again lol.
You should, this particular one was a bad therapist
Omg that's awful! Amazing how many crappy therapists there are..
I'm living in Sydney, diagnosed with DID. I'm studying psychology... I want to do theoretical research. The clip is rather short, we have to take it for granted that the diagnosis is correct considering the historical position of psychology/psychiatry at the time, but very interesting. I've seen a few of them, they are very interesting for educational purposes. Perhaps it's time a new series was done, with updated info.
I watched this interview a few months ago and the only thing I really understood was this girl schizophrenic. So thank you for the helping us understand!
She's still such a young child. Her pupils seem rather large. We hope she has had a normalized life ever since.
she's beautiful when she sits there distantly and explains her state monotonously.
God bless all. Grateful to understand as I'm 1/2 française. My heart sinks with respect to the horror and stigma etc. So many have endured.
Hello Doctor, I watched her interview previously and it had english subtitles. It would've been great to enable them during your reaction/brief analysis. Greetings!
A great analysis on an very interesting subject. Thankyou for your insight.. and the translation!
Damn! He's awesome at translating all of that! Good job man!
Good videos. I suggest checking audio levels on this and the other one with the piano guy. You are a little quiet and the video is loud. Thanks again
I’m a psych pre med so my major degree, nearly completed, will be in psychology/neuroscience. I’ve had extensive classes from every angle involving these devastating disorders and I have to admit, psychiatrists are built different
Yep, they're whack jobs also. The blind leading the blind, lol
This was super fascinating to watch. Perhaps most fascinating is the fact you've actually purchased UA-cam Premium 👀😲 lmao, great video tho
had the free trial then i forgot to cancel 😩 hehe
Please do more of these reactions. Preferably the Bipolar ones. It allows us a view into the struggle these people deal with.
I saw a different version of this video. In the one I saw she asked the girl to get up and walk long after the interview began. Also there were english subtitles.
Same.
That's the original video, I've seen that one too.
Yes I saw that she had issues with her parents I think
Your videos are really informative! Thanks for the translation as well!!
Hi syl, can you explain a bit more about the nature of the illness and how it presents when you start a video. That would really help lay people to understand it better.
I think the reason why she went to the Psychiatrist Ward or building is because she no longer wants to be with her hurtful parents and desires others give her the attention and support she’s always needed and wanted and to not be viewed as an inadequate person. Sadly, you’re viewed that way there anyway. What she needs to do is go to the Protestant church in her area and seek the love and truth she needs. She’s an adult now, so she can do it. I hope she’s not on psych meds today. If so, she’s probably chemically Lobo+omized by now.
I’m diagnosed with DID and until you said it was “thought blocking” I just assumed she was dissociating in that moment 😅😅 although I suppose mine would be more along your other example of “listening to auditory hallucinations” for a second
Yea she could be - I’m just speculating :)
I'm schizophrenic for more than 10 years, I had catatonic episode that lasted almost a year but I was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic. I don't think my doctors take good care of me or my parents. I'm 30 now and I have no job, money and still live with my mom. By the way, my doctor gave paroxetine for anxiety because when I leave the house, I feel too much anxious and I feel dizzy and lack of air to breathe (sorry about my english, I'm actually brazilian). Thank you for your video, it helped me alot with my insight.
My son diagnosed at fifteen despite all our efforts became catatonic by 26 it’s heartbreaking he doesn’t talk barely he really has to push it out. I watched my son change too many times. He became a different person. He was brilliant when little a Savant but became dangerous so the meds dumbed him down.
Really interesting video please react more of these videos we learn from you a lot thanks for doing this keep it up
Thanks so much! I made one other one about Mania. I’ll try do more :D
I have just found your reaction videos and I hope you have done more because I have hit the subscribe button. I find these videos fascinating and your analysis is excellent.
Very good translation in french dude !!! I'm !!! When she takes about moving her arms in the street, she thinks everybody stares at her.
I wonder if her good grooming/self care was the result of living with her mother, someone who cares for her. I could be wrong, but I can't imagine her sitting in front of a mirror doing her own hair or picking out her own clothes. It's so tragic. I hope she got a better hold of her symptoms later in her life.
Omg thanks for the shout out :)
With pleasure! Thanks for your outstanding channel!
If you research you can find some of the documents on their patient files.
Can you send me the link I'd like to try find a way to communicate with them to ask if they're ok with these videos.
I felt sorry and sad for her ,to think it's all in their minds and nothing physically wrong with them .
