  1. You’re gonna start out with the really big spiders. Common sense says start out with smaller less scary spiders and then if possible move up to the big spiders. Psychiatry driving school where on the second day they just throw you into NYC rush hour traffic. Psychiatry pilot school where on the second day they put you in the cockpit of a 747.

  2. 13:19 I had a Psychiatrist who would along with the pharmaceutical treatment give me homework in the forms of books and audio stuff and among the weird assignments was to watch Inside Out

  3. No questions about ECT. Seriously? Should be banned worldwide. No proper testing. No proof. No knowledge about what actually occurs other than the obvious danger of electrocuting someone and causing them to have seizures. Totally the opposite of what most medico’s try to lessen. (First- DO NO HARM. Do psychiatrists take this oath?)

  4. 6:21 its refreshing to hear this take on the whole adhd-self-diagnosing craze. Most of us display some, but not all symptoms required for a diagnosis and are simply not used to be bored anymore. We have trained our brains to constantly stay stimulated, and everything in todays world goes extremely fast, no wonder we all struggle to come down or concentrate on something.

  5. Evolutionarily speaking the role of the freeze reponse is to keep us very still so there’s less chance of us being seen by a predator. Hence why cats sometimes freeze, but then run when you get closer to them.

  6. More on the SSRIs, SRNIs and tricyclic antidepressants. As someone who’s been on escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline and mirtazapine in this year alone, I think it’s interesting how one type of antidepressant can be much more detrimental than another.

  7. I was talking to a psychiatrist, and things like being misunderstood, or working in a depressing place, or just stuff like that weren’t relevant. Everything to this person had to be some kind of technical sounding DSV authorized "disorder" to be relevant. They lose sight of common sense to such an extent that it warps their perceptions, and as a result they fail to see so much of what is scientifically relevant. Perhaps common sense needs the scientific method to guide it, but psychiatrists discredit common sense and that’s just as bad or even worse than ignoring scientific testing of theory.

  8. I had a full on visual hallucination once, as a rare side effect to a medication. Itโ€™s super scary. Itโ€™s so incredibly โ€œreal.โ€ Itโ€™s terrifying how our brains can dish up a completely false visual situation and convince itself that itโ€™s 100% real.

  9. When I was 19, I was at a party and I smoked Peyote. It did not produce the typical hallucinogenic response; it was very calming. Perhaps this could be explored as a benzo alternative?

  10. okay so there is a study saying that these shrooms can have benefit. Well perhaps said study fails to factor in other relevant facts. Maybe it makes people feel better temporarily but does not address deeper issues. These studies about magic mushrooms might appear scientific and rigorous on the surface but miss relevant factors.

  11. Follie a deux : Follie = craziness, a deux : presenting in two people who perhaps share those delusions.
    The best translation would perhaps be something between shared craziness and delusional duo.

  12. You draw a line between just feeling anxious and "anxiety attack". Does such a clearly marked line really exist?

  13. I heard a religious theory of paranoid schizophrenia, that it is a fear is towards demons trying to infiltrate a person. Well John Forbes Nash Jr. did some demonic things – I’ve seen evidence he oppressed his wife. I believe he cheated on his wife and had a kid out of wedlock. Perhaps was not the best father. So, uh, maybe his "paranoid schizophrenia" was trying to tell him to change his ways. I think there is a picture of him with his wife on the ground and he has his foot on her. Oppression. And as for demons: are they just mindsets and attitudes? Or are they spiritual beings with horns and forked tongues this is a theological debate. He thought people with red ties were part of a communist plot. Well could have been American beatniks or US citizens didn’t have to be KGB agents.

  14. St Peter Gore Seer,
    Two World Wars Lead Up To Highter Rate Off Mental Disorders In The Public, Then The Treatment Given To The People By Goverment Increase Mental Heath, Its A State Manurfactured Sickness For The People.

  15. So really you aren’t beating depression, you’re managing it. And you become dependent on SSRIs to manage depression. He’s either forgetting or ignorant to the fact that some people have lifelong depression. He literally said, "we think" not "we know". This psych doc needs to learn more and choose his words more effectively.
