    Hello Dr. Syl,
    This is Silvia from Romania writing to you. I am a trauma specialized psychotherapist and have been working in private practice for 4 years. I came across your UA-cam channel through Ren, the British artist, while watching your reaction to his "Hi Ren" video. I greatly enjoyed your reaction and I believe you did a wonderful job. Since that video, I have gone through many other original videos created by you. What caught my attention from the beginning is your gentle and warm voice with a soothing tone. Furthermore, the content you create is amazing for me, filled with useful and eloquent information that is easy to understand. I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you because I think it might be encouraging for you to realize that you can reach and help someone even from the other hemisphere of the Earth.
    I will continue to enjoy your content and let myself be educated by it. Thank you for your work!

    For people that dont quite understand the how a delusion works - They just decide something is true one day and then grasp at straws, sometimes even completely made up scenarios, and use them as "evidence" to support their new fixed belief. And there is no convincing them otherwise - not even with provable facts

    This is so painful because my wife is going through this. I love her so much and it changed her. She’s lost so much weight - my wife is gorgeous and you will never think of her that way. It hurts that as I type I hold back my tears because she was my little girl to me and I may have to leave her and take the kids so that she can focus on herself. Man I’m 54 yo and I would never have imagined this - I never even heard about it until I started to dig in because I was confused and angry that my virtues as a father and husband was being attacked to then realize maybe she is bipolar but then maybe psychosis then found Othello Syndrome and it was exactly what’s going on and I had to keep reading on it and its dangers. Right now I’m on a trip for work and she has me do FaceTime and walk the room then go outside to prove where I am then she made me hurry back to the room
    And my guess he wanted to see if a girl was there. I’ve never ever have cheated on my wife. Not
    Even close. Now to know that I may need to abandon her scares me.

    This is the impression I get, and it's only an impression.
    He seems fixated on his own helplessness. He's slowed down. There's no space to breathe in his mind; it's like he's in a tiny room with no windows and stale air. He's trapped in a corner, staring at a disgusting, frightening object which contaminates his foot. Sometimes he tries to shake it off, but it clings and frightens him even more and so he mostly remains still. His wife stands by the door and continually renews the disgusting object through an invisible process of connection and eruption. The possibilities for escape are limited and unpleasant. He could destroy himself and thus remove the corruption. He could try to destroy his wife, but perhaps he fears she's all-powerful. He could walk past his wife and through the door but the object will still cling, exposing him as an object of horror, ridicule, and contempt. He's an immediate danger to himself and his family- kids included. Poor soul.

    the guy's story of his wife cheating sounds convincing until I noticed he never gives a real remembered example of what his wife did that makes him sure she was cheating. He mentions her joking about him but what was the joke exactly? He says its little things that built up but he won't say what exactly those little things were. most people would say "oh my partner is cheating on me and I know because they smelled like someone's perfume/came home late a lot/ too flirty with so-and-so" things that are small but memorable.

All the details he gives are poetic summations of the situation.

      Yeah - that's exactly how it is. I'm a pathological liar and constant cheater now, even though I'm the only one in my relationship who hasn't cheated and always talked about how important honesty was. I've always told him when I did something he wouldn't care for. But nope, now I lie constantly. Just decided so one day, haha. It's really great. So cool.

      ​@@HigoIndicooh, that doesn't matter. From personal experience, the answer would be something completely mundane, even normal in their relationship, that he suddenly decided was a sign. If he told the person interviewing him what the signs were, they would be baffled by the response.
      One time I scratched my nose and my husband said I was hiding my mouth so I could secretly talk to someone. No phone in sight, mind you. I also had to stop singing to my infant because he said I was singing to hide the conversation I was having. So, fear ruined that once in my lifetime experience for me. Psychosis and Delusions have no real weight most times.

      @@ericapierson-way213 When deciding if someone's delusional or not, it does matter. If one person has decided that a person seems delusional, due to not questioning them deep enough, then the next one analysing the person has their bias set up and just assumes every word coming out of patients mouth is because they're delusional. That's how misdiagnosis happen and other problems that patient may have, aren't recognised.
      And there's nothing cool about lying.

    Hi Dr. Syl! This is my first encounter with your channel - thanks for the information. One thing to note is that people with DJ can really make their stories sound believable to the untrained ear. Just look at the comments under the original video and how many people actually believe his story! If they're smart enough they can even fool their counselors, especially if the counselor just assumes from the beginning that the client's story is true and doesn't press for details or ask the right questions. My ex spouse of 21 years, who also had BPD and PTSD, has his friends and family absolutely convinced. I'm fortunate that he left me as a punishment, thinking that I would "come clean" and "confess." And then when I wouldn't tell him what he wanted to hear he was stuck living 85 miles away with no reason to move back, and that's how our marriage ended. I haven't heard much about him for about 2 years, but i do know that he still absolutely believes that I was having an affair and probably will for the rest of his life, with or without treatment. It's sad because I still really miss the guy I married, but for all intents and purposes that guy is dead now. All that's left is the body he was living in, his entire personality has changed, but I know that deep down in his subconscious there HAS to be some small part of himself that knows he's wrong. But he'll deny it to himself forever, and that's the hardest part ...knowing that there's this shell of a man that i once loved walking around out there who will forever hate me for something I didn't do, when it doesn't have to be like that.

    1:36 I once started going into metabolic acidosis because I got dehydrated from vomiting while sick which started a vicious cycle that made me go to the ER because I didn’t think I could stop vomiting long enough to breathe. I can confirm it’s very unpleasant. Annoying part was the ER treated me a bit dismissively at first because I have mental health in my chart which apparently means “panic attack until proven otherwise” but they took it more seriously once my blood tests came back with almost every value abnormal.

      I Hate That. My Opinion Is Even If The Patient Has Gone Through Psychotic Episodes, Even If They're Schizophrenic; Believe Them Until You Can Run The Proper Diagnostics Necessary To Rule Out Whatever They Say/Believe To Be Happening-Then From There Determine If There Is Another Factor & When All Is Said & Done; If Mental Illness Does Seem To Be The Answer; The Doctors/Hospital Should Be Responsible For Calling In A Mobile Crisis Team To Better Assess The Patient Before Determining The Next Route To Take.
      So Sorry You Have To Go Through That.
      I've Also Had/Continually Have The Same Experience.
      Sept. 29th 2018 I Got Robbed At 3 In The Morning. Two Guys Came Up Behind Me Trying To Steal My "Friends" Phone I Had Been Using. After Blows To All Over My Body & A Long Struggle, I Still Wouldn't Let Go Of The Phone & One Of The Guys Headbutted Me In The Face, Twisted My Arm & Stole My Bag With $1,300 Worth Of My Most Valued/Sentimental/Personal Belongings. The Other Guy Had Already Ran To Their Car To Turn It On & The Dude With My Bag Ran To The Car & I Ran After Him. He Got Into The Car & I Had Caught Up Right Behind The Car Just As It Was About To Accelerate. Out Of Feeling Defeated, Crushed, Upset & Not Being Mindful Of The Outcomes; I Had In My One Hand A Lighter & I Had Swung At The Back Windshield Of The Car, Basically Utilizing The Lighter As A Fist Pack. The Glass Immediately Shattered Like A Spiderweb From Where I Had Hit It-Outwards; Then POP & It Imploded. I Was Literally Right In Front Of It. I Shouted An Explitive Before Quickly Turning Around....Long Story Long, I Then Began Rejecting Glass Out Of Every Single Place In My Body, Some Areas Taking Longer To Begin Rejecting Than Others. Around 10 Months In; I Began Rejecting It From My Gumline (Likely Due To Shouting Said Explitive) & Unintentionally Swallowing It, Resulting In 3 Major Infections In My Trachea, Larynx & Some Other Part Of My Esophagus, Multiple Pulmonary Embolisms & My Appendix Being Removed. I Have Severe Nerve Damage All Over My Body From The Glass Rejecting Out Of My Skin & Damaging The Nerves In My Body. After Going To 9 Different Doctors & Them Just Straight Up Dismissing Me Without Even Running Any Radiology Whatsoever, After Going To My Primary Doctor & Him Screaming At Me, Saying I Need To Change My Lifestyle (Insinuating I Was Experiencing Drug-Induced Psychosis) & 86ing Me, Telling Me He Would Blacklist Me From Any Adjacent Facilities Because Upon Him Saying I Needed To Change My Lifestyle; I Began Crying Hysterically Because I Feel Like It's So Hard For Me To Reach Out For Help & Prior To This Happening; I Was Finally At A Point In My Life Where I WANTED To Live, I Was Excited For Life...He Said I Was "Too Emotional"...I Can't Even Bring Myself To Keep Trying To Find Help.
      It All Felt Like I Wasn't Worthy Of Saving, Wasn't Worthy Of Validation, Wasn't Worthy Of Not Having Immensely Severe, Excruciating Pain To The Point Of Suicxdal Ideation; Wasn't Worthy Of Receiving Any Sort Of Treatment Or Any Remedy & Was Essentially Forced To Self-Medicate With Opium So I Can Actually Live A Productive Life Where I'm Not Constantly Bed-Ridden, Crying In Pain & Miserable, To The Point Where Offing Myself Would Be The ONLY Other Way Out. I Can't Even Work A Scheduled Job Because It's The Curse That Keeps Cursing In That I Constantly Have New Health Issues/Medical Emergencies Etc. That I Can't Navigate Accommodations For Or Exactly Plan Around When I'm Going To Be In A State Where I'm Unable To Properly Function/Work With The Utmost Efficiency. All Of It Is Honestly Heartbreaking. Bc I Can't Even Get On Disability Bc...Well...If A Doctor Doesn't Validate It, It Must Not Exist. I Still Constantly Have Glass Rejecting Out Of My Body. For About 5 Months I Kept Believing Everyone That It Would All Come Out Soon Until I Read A Blog Post _(Vera's Log Glass In Skin Warning Gross)_ & Seeing All Of The Other People Who Have Gone Through Similar Situations & How Long They Have Been Rejecting Glass From Their Bodies. I'd Suggest You Google That Cuz It Is Honestly Pretty Wild & Pretty Damn Sad How Many Who Have Had Nearly Identical Experiences When Trying To Find Any Solution/Remedy To A Problem Few Ever Have To Face, Rarely Anyone Can Ever Truly Fully Empathize With & Is Detrimental To Overall Quality Of Life & Emotional/Physical/Mental Well-Being. It Honestly Changed Me As A Person Entirely. I Don't Have The Same Sense Of Humor Anymore. I Can Hardly Do Things I Used To Be Passionate About Doing. I Can No Longer Have A Job In My Chosen Career Field & Can No Longer Decorate My Temple As I Once Did, Bc The Glass Will Come Out Of Any Already-Opened Wound Before It Creates A New Flesh Tunnel, Meaning It Comes Out Through Any Piercing Hole, Over Any Tattoos, Etc. It Is Depressing Beyond Belief.

    Howdy im a peer worker with luved experience of voices. I have run many workshops that follow the Hearing Voices approach. If your ever interested in broadening your perspective on the diagnosis. I would really recommend the 'hearing voices' approach in your country. I honestly think all psychiatrist should do training in the field. You don't have to necessarily agree with it but it gives food for thought. And breaks down alot of stigma with the diagnosis, which at times has been really hard for me. Im a clozzy child so whilst physical side effects could be killing me, I am relatively stable over the past 10 years. I still found the training super useful.

    This is so interesting. If I didn’t know that he had attempted suicide, I would have thought that this was just a guy who was going through relationship problems and was pretty depressed. When I think about the suicide attempt, I wonder if he could have ultimately become a family annihilator. He seemed to think that there was no saving his children. I wonder, too, if Dr Syl would have come to the same diagnostic conclusions if we didn’t know about the recent attempt.

    I have one question for every single patient out there who are to be asked this question and that is if you are out in the general public and you don’t have a support person with you what do you need from a kind, compassionate, caring, empathetic person who notices you’re struggling? I would love to hear from every single person. How can somebody help you when you’re out in public and you know you’re going down that dark hole.
    What should we do? What should we not do?

    My dad has very similar thinking but less extreme compared ti this gentleman. He also thinks people at times are out to get him or not truthful but again nothing super crazy like. He still thinks my mom is out to mess up his life after they divorced years ago. Then thinks due to seeing her more than him I was brainwashed by her to do her ideas. He was getting better and the he got covid bad but not in hospital. Then things went bad. I know he has to be a narcissist because he fit all boxes well. Then in 2023 he went to the most extreme and hurt me some and locked me in his truck on the way to my grandmothers. My car broke down and needed a ride. We where at a full stop for a few mins and he never let me out. I got lucky and he let out after a few mins at my grandmothers. I took him to court and lost only due to not enough proof. He not in my life anymore due to this. Yet, now I wonder if he would fit into to this or something similar. He would never go to therapy or talk to me about his medical issues. He said people could use it against him and they don't need to know. he also is always the victim. I really hope he gets help and never hurts anyone more than the bruises he gave me and my mom. That was also the first and last time he very did that to me and he rarely hit her. He also cheated on my mom but to this day says she did. my mom has proof he does not. Also, a video on delusional memory or types of delusions would be a cool idea to do. I would like to understand more about delusional memory due to dealing with them my whole life due to my father.

    My ex suffered from this and spent every minute of his days (and nights) ruminating over my imagined infidelity. However when he was later hospitalized for severe depression the staff believed him and I was portrayed as the bad guy. Staff did not believe me when I said I wasn’t cheating and never had. Therefore my ex’s depression was treated but he actually felt validated in his delusions because the hospital staff agreed with him about my infidelity and wasn’t smart enough to see through his delusional thinking.

Included myself, our kids, family and friends. He discarded his child and started a new life with no connection with anyone from his family or friends, nobody. The trauma he inflicted to myself and child is something that will take a lifetime to recover. He also started taking ICe after I left, hence when the delusions became extreme. As well as jealousy and cheating, he accusations were him being followed by the Feds, phone hacked, he said he was magic, he said he was becoming a movie star, model, book writer, he said he grew his genitalia by magic, the abuse from him was horrendous

    After years of all sorts of abuse, my father murdered my mom. He was jealous of her relationship with their own kids (my 2 brothers and me) at the time. He always seemed to project his crap onto her and finally killed her. It was a very complicated life - there were times when he raged against her or my brothers, and also long periods of being "normal", the latter were much less frequent then non-existent the last 3 years before he killed her. Not sure if delusional jealousy was relevant for him, but his irrational behaviors draw me to some kind of psychosis.

      Sometimes, Sometimes there can also be a series of events that a person without mental illness would think is normal but a person with abnormal behaviours or is psychotic may have aberrant salience which is where they may have a string of delusions with a pattern being recognised or an idea they truly believe from something that doesn't mean anything. Everyone is different so one person might just 'realise' something while someone else might closely follow events or things happening and see them as a pattern for something like being hunted down or followed etc

If someone is closely following events and seeing them as patterns for something like being followed, hasn't that delusion started already when they started to follow those events?

For different people what comes first will be different for each case. I don't know if you've ever experienced someone who's in psychosis but they can very quickly hold delusions. Like if you tell them to grab a red cup out of the cuboard and they're suspicious as to why and they can be quite reactive and may believe there is a reason for that, like I've poisoned the cup. Or some people may keep that in mind and almost keep a list of things I've done which will (in their mind) reinforce their ideas of what I'm doing (delusion)

    I’m so sorry if I’m asking in the wrong way. I’m sorry if I missed a video.
    I wanted to ask about your education on PTSD and cases where trauma happens over and over. It’s debated a lot in the US amongst professionals and I just want to understand more. I’m sorry for asking a lot. I hope I’m not causing repeat videos for you.

    People who cheat and then ascribe the cheating to a spouse/partner and become jealous and hateful, like we see in narcissistic individuals, seems close to this. Even the attempt at suicide but in a mild manner, more of a show then actual attempt.
    I'd love to know how he acted towards the wife and kids in daily life.

    Interesting video. I learned a lot from your explanations, but admit that the analyzed video itself wasn't all that convincing. On its own, it could have just been an interview with a man who was depressed because his wife was truly unfaithful and he felt trapped by his loyalty to the children. I have to assume the rest of the background info is strong evidence of the psychosis.

    Hi! thanks so much for yours videos, I learn a lot about myself and other who same strugles with mental illness. If you can, could you watch "How I Cured My Mental Illness" of jREG, its a rlly good and creative video about schyzoafective illness, specific the part of hypomanic/depressed state. I that video he use niacin to treat the hypomanic, can you give your opinion about that? I cant find anything trustworthy about niacin.

      @@necrodefecator He didn't bring up specifics but he did bring up types of cues he was getting from his wife, for example the fact that she didn't want to have sex because she was afraid to have more children. This wasn't so long ago that birth control didn't exist.

      I agree. Also, he said she kept laughing at him - disrespecting him. That was not nothing. I have also realised sometime after the start of being with someone that he was abusive, but not for a year or more, because of cognitive dissonance. My mind convinced me it was normal. I remembered conversations and actions with hindsight and wrote them all down to help me not go back to him.

      @@tinypixiekitten7806 I'll be as nice as I could here, but that's why you're in the comment section of this UA-cam channel and not the shrink who is interpreting the footage here. You don't have the tools to interprete the situation beside your own bad experiences with abuse and gaslighting, which I 'm sorry for, but it is not a good starting point to evaluate somebody mentally, probably the worst starting point actually.
      This guy presents himself as the victim but you have no idea on what kind of situations he brought his wife and kids to begin with, we have his side of the story only.

    • @Rabaheo

      And we have info that he sent letters to his wife anonymously. Can you imagine being the wife finding out your husband is trying to catch you cheating by sending you anonymous letters asking you to cheat? that is not how you find out if your wife is cheating on you with other people. She seemed alarmed to be getting anonymous letters asking her for an affair? yeah, that would freak a person who isn't having an affair out.
      Also, @Necrodefecator, you are also in the youtube comments section where nobody here has their college degrees and full life experience in every single comment that they make, but sure assume you're talking to an ignorant person and make sure they know it with your words that you are intellectually superior and have the right of the situation which neither of you have the full information on. You look real super like you like to be superior to others and you're doing a good job.
      Point, When does a person experiencing delusions USUALLY end up in front of a doctor? Not usually voluntarily. If his wife was just cheating on him and a hospital, the police and this psychiatrist were involved, do you think that they might have figured that out instead of labeling a man delusional?

    I think it might be helpful/safer for your audience if you avoided commenting on the relative dangerousness of different methods people use to attempt suicide, particularly mentioning that something is especially dangerous or difficult to treat. That kind of information can stick in the minds of vulnerable people and might lead them to choose that more dangerous method if they feel very low and desparate in the future.

    Your thoughts on the research into links between cerebellum insult during early childhood and later onset of schizophrenia?
    Also, prevalence of FASD being misdiagnosed as ASD.
    Any idea as to the prevalence of FASD in children who also experience neglect?
    Your thoughts on Dr CA Childress, his parental alienation model under attachment injury, and parental alienation as a child safety issue more than a child safety issue?
    Parental alienation as a "ex-partner equals Ex-parent" mindset, consciously or otherwise.
    Could the combination of all these increase a child's likelihood of BPD and other personality disorders?
    How would you inform policy suggestions to minimise harm to children at the hands of their family animosities?
