This episode of a psych doctor REACTS is on Brooklyn Nine-Nine which is such a fabulous show. This one, called "The Therapist" covers some interesting topics on the different ways humans manage and process their emotions, some of the logistics around having therapy and perhaps best of all, we can look at this popular idea of "multiple personality disorder" and whether its really a thing.

Freud: “All men secretly want to sleep with their mothers. It’s called the Oedipus complex.”
Oedipus, who literally blinded himself and went into exile for the rest of his life after he learned that the woman he had been sleeping with was his mother: “I’m sorry, it’s called the WHAT complex???”
Poor Oedipus, he really deserved so much better.
Yeah poor guy had no idea! It's not like he was twisted and wanted to have sex with his mother
I think the complex has to do with wanting to dethrone the father to be close w the mother so they just picked that and said close enough 😂
@@alexandraethridge2232 Oedipus didn’t want to dethrone his father though. He killed his father without knowing who he was and when he found out, he wanted to kill himself.
@@alexandraethridge2232actually a fortune teller told him about his destiny, so he ran away from home to make sure it wouldn't happen, but it turned out he was adopted. He killed a man while on his travels (not knowing it's his real father) and then saves a town from a giant sphinx and to thank him, they make him king and let him marry their queen (not knowing she's his mom) when the mom finds out, she kills herself and leaves him a letter telling him why, and he takes the pins out of her dress and stabs his own eyes out and then leaves their kids to be homeless and just wanders the desert. Fun story.
I think the female therapist knew Jake was lying and was just having fun with him
Yes that’s what I thought as well
considering how shocked she was when he left the room i doubt it.
Yeah she is was definitely trolling him
i don't think so but it would be funnier if it was

“I bet there’ll be a child, a girl, and a foreign accent”
Jake: *does all three at once*
I'd say over here Jake's attitude is more common, especially with men. Going to therapy is seen as a weakness because you're 'supposed' to bottle things up and not let it affect you.
Yeah, most people I know (as an American) seem to think that going to therapy is an admission that something with your mind must be terribly wrong, and that if you don't go to therapy then that must mean that everything is okay. I don't agree with that mindset but I see it all the time. I will say though that younger people seem to be generally much more accepting of the idea of regular therapy compared to their elders.
Also constantly being ridiculed for having feelings for the last 40 years in media, by other men and women and even family. Doesn't help.
it is a weakness
@@jaxorgate no it isn’t
@@mahekmittal1379 it is. never cry. never show your emotions. or the women pounce like fleas to attack and torment you.
As a psychology grad student in America, I just wanted to clarify your confusion about who goes to therapy. In American media, the terms “therapy” and “counseling” are used interchangeably. In practice, however, therapy is considered long term (months to years) and the appropriate treatment for chronic mental health conditions. Counseling, on the other hand, is short term (approx 4- 10 weeks) and available to the general population to relieve short term distress that may be social, emotional, or behavioral in nature. Hope this is helpful!
You say counselling is available, I’m assuming this is paid? Therapy in the UK is around £40-£50 per hour (depending where you live of course).
@@izzy6388 It depends on your insurance. Also, many counselors work on a sliding scale to accommodate for a range of incomes. So you have to pay for the service, available was in reference to it being an option.
@@juliatoews5446 makes sense, thank you 😊
Hey, I'm actually trying to get a degree in psychology, can a psychologist treat people with chronic mental illness? Also, what's the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?
@@rakshyakharel9398 Yes, a psychologist typically works with individuals with chronic mental illness. There are a variety of options in setting to do so such as in patient, private practice, and nonprofit work. A counselor or therapist typically has at least a Master’s degree, a psychologist has a doctorate (PhD or PsyD), and a psychiatrist has a doctorate and a medical degree. This is because psychiatrists are the only mental health professionals with the ability to prescribe medication. Hope this helps and best of luck with school!
I like Brooklyn 99, in a lot of ways they are mindful of saying the right things or sending the right messages on a lot of issues (mental health, equality, etc), it's a comedy at the end of the day, but I don't think they ever go after certain groups of people for cheap laughs, so I respect that
i agree, some serious topic they talk abt r stuff like: racism, misogyny/feminism, sexuality, birth (as in choosing to responsibly bring a human to earth), mental health, etc.
THEY EVEN TALKED ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE AND MADE RESPECTFUL TRANS JOKES. THEY’RE THE BEST.
They've nailed the ability to joke about demographics without it being at their expense
I agree with you apart from the representation of disabilities. I haven't seen the last season so maybe there was something good there, but the only disabled characters I remember turned out to have been 'faking' which is a terrible stereotype that really harms the disabled community.
I would say they make fat people the butt of the joke on several occasions
In the US, doctors can basically violate doctor patient confidentiality if they believe the patient is going to hurt themselves or others. So in this episode, the doctor believes this patient is going to kill his wife, so that’s why he hands over his notes.
That's probably the case in most places, it's private until the therapist suspects you're at risk to yourself or others
same in canada
That is the case in most countries, but you can not hand over the notes!!!
I think everywhere is like that
@@marieklenke2916 exactly, u can say "he's thinking of suicide, be around" but not give the notes about everything that the pacient has been trough
It's pretty messed up that they named it after Oedipus, since he absolutely didn't have any resentment towards his father or attachment to his mother. He didn't even know who those people were.
Yea didn’t he marry his mother without even knowing she was his mother? It’s been a while since I read about it.
@@trayas2272 if you dont want to read, just watch OSP (Overly Sarcastic Production) on youtube. It short and impressif summery
tbh, alot of these stuff named after greek myth are not faithful to their source material and are just vaguely similar to its myth. take for instance, pymallion effect. Taken from the character pymallion who sculpted galatea. Now look at the definition of pygmallion effect(found out about it from b99 ofc, then did my research), and it prolly has liltle to no connection to the myth. It kinda bummed me:/
@@justalapisfloatingaround1223 isn’t that what My Fair Lady was based on?
@@trayas2272 my fair lady does have some aspect of the Pygmalion effect(expectations cause changes in one behaviour). But not the myth tho. The only reason Pygmalion created Galatea was because according to the myth, he despise ordinary women, no women could fit his perfectionist view and deem that only his creation/depiction of a women in the form of a sculpture could suit him. Like the total narcissistic arse that he is, expectedly fall in love with his creation to the point that he begged the goddess Aphrodite to make Galatea to life. Yes , the story is filled to brimmed with misogyny and narcism if u say it out loud
Tldr: my fair lady took some creative liberty to suit the society norm then, ain't exactly a good message that a narcissistic men can only fall in love with things he create.
1:30 for the record Terry had a emotionally abusive dad and Boyle’s not exactly the picture of emotional stability
Plus they’re police officers who see lots of violence and murder on a daily basis
1:57 Also knowing Hitchcock it’s probably a little bit of both
And I love how you analyze the whole episode and not just the main theme
The Boyle family is like the Mcpoyles from its Always Sunny. Freakishly loving in family. only difference is that Boyles smother with love and generally just weird out the 99, while McPoyles are like old school British royals: incestual, disturbing and terrible compared to the Gang
When did we see Terry’s dad?? 😮 Are you sure you’re not thinking of his brother in law who is suuperr tall?
Wasn't Harley Quin a therapist but was driven mad by the Joker?
she was a psyciatrist who the joker corrupted
And Dr. Strange was a neurosurgeon before he became the Sorcerer Supreme
@@brandyanderson3522 You're mixing up Dr. Strange's:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Strange
@@SoulStealer50 Thanks, I've only heard him referred to as Professor Stange. But I'm not a huge Batman fan so even that is a very vague recollection.
Yes
Love to see his input on Caleb the Cannibal; the amount of issues with that guy is a whole video in itself.
Personally, I see a therapist once a week because i have p severe social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. But, that's not exactly the kind of thing i wanna broadcast to people lmao. So if i ever DO mention to friends that I see a therapist, if they ask me why i just say for self improvement tbh. I don't owe anyone an explanation about what i talk to my therapist about
That’s very understandable! I only tell my close friends I go to therapy and I tell them it’s for anxiety and depression because when living together in college it’s hard to hide when you’re taking medication. But I totally agree what you tell people is up to you! But I wish there was less stigma on telling people about disorders.
I've reached that point where I start the video and immediately click the "thumbs up" button. That's right. I stand by it.
Same man haha
Righhhjjjttttt same
Great policy for great channels as this one!😁
Yaaas omg so true
i automatically like every video before i watch. it's such a habit i don't even know i do it.
- "I bet there will be a child, a female and someone with an accent."
- "I would like to talk to the 8-year-old Victorian girl."
Boom! 🤣
In America if you can afford it, counseling is pretty readily available. Don’t really need a severe mental illness. But specific therapies for specific illnesses aren’t as readily available for patients who either don’t have insurance or just can’t afford it. For example my bf has BPD and needs DBT and it’s hard to find a provider that takes his insurance and also specializes in personality disorders. But I see a therapist monthly for mdd and gad.
Has your boyfriend tried to seek the manual? It’s by Marsha M. Linehan. As I continue in my biopsych studies, I have learned that they are thinking about changing BPD to complex ptsd in the DSM- the diagnosis manual. A lot of people with bpd have trauma and there’s people in the field discussing how the stigma of bpd and language used is actually shaming the patient by calling it a personality disorder. I hope your bf gets support with dbt. It made the world of difference for me, but everything in that manual must be actively attempted. For example, changing some patterns of though, it’s all about Neuroplasticity and getting your brain used to the new thoughts. It’s possible to change.
Edit: also, look into transcranial magnetic stimulation for major depressive disorder. I’ve had MDD since my first assaults in high school. all the medications tried and bad side effects never worked, but I am 2 months into TMS and my MDD episodes are barely present and it’s making the biggest difference. However, I am also still working on changing the inner critic by changing the language in how I treat myself and meditating and therapy
I think we just are to assumed Boyle has Jake phone tracked personal since of his over protecting nature over Jake
And yes, people go to therapy in North America regularly, but there also a huge difference between therapists and doctors.
That’s what I was thinking about the tracking. I share my location with some family and friends and vice versa.
I'm in the US and therapy is wild here. You have people who desperately need mental health services who cannot afford them, and people with privilege seeing therapists just to vent. I'm torn about the latter, because I guess talking things out might help some people avoid developing unhealthy behaviors or suppressing emotions and developing actual mental disorders as a result. It's incredibly frustrating on all accounts. I was diagnosed with depression and am dealing with suicidal ideation, but I can't afford therapy, so I- and many others like me- spend each day fighting to find a reason to stay alive. It sucks.
how are people who can afford a therapist, privileged? it's not that expensive.
@@countbleck35 People who can afford therapy are privileged. Low-income and disabled people like myself are literally unable to access life-saving services because we don't have the money for them. If you don't have to go hungry, miss work, etc to see a therapist, you're privileged. If I were to try to afford to see a therapist, I couldn't eat that month.
@@countbleck35 really? How much is it where you are? Do you not understand that for people who are struggling to pay the bills, regular sessions means making hard choices about what to forgo, like food, medicine, heating etc?
I didn't know what the word 'ideation' was before reading this comment, so I learned something thanks to you. Therefore you have a positive effect on the world. Does that help?
Hey! You’re important and I’m glad you’re here. If you’re interested in free therapy resources I’ve got tons, just let me know. I know it’s frustrating and it’s definitely a privilege, but it’s possible. You deserve support for your mental health no matter what and I really hope you can get that.
I’d love to see a take on the theory that Jake has ADHD. I personally see a lot of my ADHD symptoms in Jake, but it would be interesting to see an expert view.
I'd say as someone with severe ADHD.... he's definitely ADHD
i also think amy is autistic :)
depends on what you consider an expert, but i remember a video of someone with adhd (i don't think she's an 'expert' as in a psychologist or anything) reacting to adhd in media and jake was in that video. i'll edit this if i can find the link.
edit: found it, czcams.com/video/hVjWlEVUzAU/video.html
I love how he's correctly "predicting" what happens next as if he's never seen this episode before.
As an alter in a system that has been diagnosed with OSSD-1b (which is very similar to DID just slightly different), we are different people. Every alter in a system has their own personality, likes, dislikes, hobbies, etc. and intergration is a very touchy subject with many systems. I know for certain that none of the alters in our system want to integrate, and many other systems do not want to intergrate either. Instead of forcing intergration, much of the time what’s better is helping the system gain better communication and be able to work and function better together as a system sharing one body.
I was curious about that myself. The goal of treatment for DID. Cause with depression my goal is to be rid of suicidal thoughts. But with DID each of those personalities are different people to the point where there is no one personality to integrate into. I always assumed communication between alters in the system was a better goal than integrating them all. But I can’t speak to it since I don’t have DID myself.
@Hi, I'm Sky
Not an expert and not a system, so take what I say with that in mind.
I believe there's a bit of a confusion concerning the term "integration." I've seen that some people have started to use the term "fusion" to describe two or multiple alters essentially "merging" into one, basically what most people imagine "integration" to mean. Final fusion would then be a state where all alters have "fused" into one cohesive personality. From what I understand, fusion is NOT a clinical term, it's just something I've seen being used in the community to make the distinction clearer. Either way, many systems don't have fusion as their end goal, many don't want to or can't fuse completely. It's not the only treatment option AFAIK.
*Integration,* then, refers to the breaking down of the amnesiac barriers between alters. So, in that sense, integration would indeed be the final goal of treatment - it's basically the ultimate improvement of system communication. There can still be distinct alters, but the way I imagine it, they form more of a unit this way. That's how I understand integration as the end goal of treatment - not as necessarily leaving only one alter, but rather as integrating, breaking down the amnesia/memory barriers between them.
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on any count. This is merely what I picked up on but I have no idea how it's perceived by experts. As far as I've seen, integration is still most widely understood as the "merging" of alters.
Take care!
@@efoxkitsune9493 ahh that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the explanation!
THANK YOU. We are a system as well and that triggered the fuck out of me. Functional multiplicity is just as valid as integration. So little psychs understand DID or even believe it.
@@efoxkitsune9493 so, I’m not a professional either but as a part of a system the way we describe it and have always seen it talked about by other systems and actual professionals is that integration and “fusion” are the same thing
It’s when all the alters come together to form one singular personality
Functional multiplicity is when the system all works together as a whole and over time very well may break down amnesia barriers, but they are not integrated if they are still separate alters
I very well may be wrong but that’s how we and many other people see integration, and even if that is correct, many people don’t think of it that way and speaking of integration without using that specific context can be extremely triggering
I mean to be fair these guys are cops. They see and do some pretty intense stuff from day to day so I think it makes sense that some of them would attend therapy regularly in order to sort out their feelings over it.
The “tracking your phone” is possible with “share my location.” As long as you’ve shared your location willingly with a friend, they can see where you are.
You don’t even need to be a cop to do that.
I’ve not been able to get help for DID under the NHS, partly because one of my previous psychiatrists just “didn’t believe” in it as a condition. On the plus side, when I get to see someone who’s more open minded now I get to describe it as “yep, got buttloads of peeps living in my brain, no doubt no doubt no doubt no doubt no doubt, we should talk about it”!
Omg same. Two psychologists agree I have it but the psychiatrist doesn’t believe in DID.
@@TheIndigoSystem it’s ridiculous right? I need to go through the hassle of asking for extra opinion, maybe finding if there’s a specific doctor in my area I should be asking for a referral to… ugh.
@@DissociatedWomenIncorporated same here ugh

Watch clips of Adrian Pimento from Brooklyn Nine Nine and break down what he might be going through and the truths and myths behind whatever that may be.
One of my favourite episodes was when Holt and Hake interrigating a killer dentist.
As someone with DID...no...you don't have to set integration as the goal. In fact, introducing that as a goal often feels quite threatening because it reads as "annihilation." I find it so much more useful to focus on relationships between Parts -- making them better, more functional, working on communication. If integration happens naturally during this process, then cool (it's happened for me a couple of times, and that's fine). If it doesn't happen, that should also be OK as long as the relationship is functioning well.
I have a question and I’m really sorry if it’s offensive I just don’t understand DID. Do you become that person and believe you are that person? Because I thought they were in your head but apparently not
@@Mia.S13 I don't have DID but I've watched someone with DID talking about it. It's not that you become and believe you are that person. You ARE that person. They are part of you. If I understand it right, it's like different aspects of your personality that separate from each other as disassociation. People without DID can also disassociate, but in different ways.
@@TheTossedOne So there’s like you and then there’s the other personality that you also are?
oh god, thank you, i was looking for a comment about this. i also have DID and i was hoping to see someone point this out.
@@TheTossedOne so I have a good friend with DID and at least in their case, there are 4 personalities who all work together in a system. It's kinda like they went through certain things in life and their disassociations from this trauma created new... And I know this sounds weird but it's how I've always seen it... But it creates a new mind kinda. Like there's 4 different minds inside one body.
As a relatively young person in the US, going to therapy, regardless of lifestyle/wealth/background, is definitely a "popular" thing to do where I live. Not saying that's a bad thing. I know so many people that go to weekly or monthly therapy sessions, just because.
In my mind that's the best case scenario. I think pretty much everyone would benefit from some amount of therapy. Unfortunately where I live (also in the US) going to therapy is not very popular among young people and completely unfathomable to most people older than ~30. I go every other week and it helps me immensely, but that is not a common thing where I am.
@@ianmininger I live in Italy and it's the same here. I go two times a week bc of depression and stuff, but therapy it's not really a thing here, wich sucks. If you do it you "have to" have a valid reason. But I agree, therapy can help everybody and everyone who can afford it should try it, even just to vent, wich can be extremely useful
As a lower middle class person with some fun diagnoses, if people in your life are regularly going to therapy “just because”, either they’re extremely financially secure or they’re just not telling you why they need it. This shit doesn’t come with a “just because, regardless of wealth” price tag.
@@kiwimusume Both things can be true. I'm sorry that's your experience. But people do live above their means all the time in what many of us perceive to be strange ways. While I sympathize for those that have serious problems necessitating therapy (and empathize as someone that has OCD and depression, and certainly benefit from therapy but choose not to because of the price... plus my meds have me in a decent place), the popularity of "therapy" culture speaks for itself. It's definitely something people of all backgrounds and income levels are doing more of, across the board, especially with services like BetterHelp, etc.
that pleased grin of "yeah I saw that coming" at 15:27. Very cute :D
I live in the United States of America, in a city. It is pretty easy to get a therapist. If a family is having a lot of conflict, it isn't hard to get a family therapist. If a couple is having conflict and want to improve the quality of their relationship, it is easy to get a therapist who specializes in couples therapy. Children who are having difficulty in school are often referred to mental health professional who specializes in helping children.
I have been diagnosed with Disassociative Identity Disorder, Autism, Attention Deficit Disorder, Complex PTSD and Bipolar. I have been able to gain a lot of influence over the disassociation. I decided to love and value every alternate identity. I embraced my condition and trusted that my mind knew what it was doing. If I am feeling very distressed, I have silently asked for someone to step in and take over for me. I did have complete memory gaps and friends would tell me about conversations that I don't remember having and that I wasn't myself. A lot of the time, I have been able to be co- conscious a lot. My condition has been dormant for a long time, but I know that I am not alone or without support or unconditional love. This condition provided a lot of the things that were absent while I was growing up and I am grateful for it. I know that if I ever suffer trauma again that I have that help. 💚
oh hey we all have the same things! except bipolar, i actually have bpd but they’re similar ig
no one in. y system cooperates lol, they all hate fronting so i’m just 🧍♀️
Really like this video. B99 is one of my favourite shows and normally videos like these shit all over the show but it’s been done in such a good way and you can clearly tell he’s a fan of the show
In the US we can go for maintenance, usually every other week or once or twice a month, sometimes less often. But which therapist you can go to is sometimes decided by your insurance company. The therapist I clicked with in college was not covered by insurance so my parents were paying over $100 US. Luckily now that same therapist is covered by my insurance so it is $10 a session. It helps prevent crises.
In the us we usually start to go to therapy when we have large issues to deal with, but sometimes between the larger emotional work we’ll “small talk” through some sessions and talk about the day to day. I actually stopped seeing my therapist because we weren’t dealing with the larger issues, not enough guiding in the right direction she would just ask how my day was.
I have gone to therapy for years for depression. But I have to say in college I see a therapist and they mention that people go to therapy in college for pretty mundane things like stress in class, problems with friends, etc. and not always a major disorder or something.
I love Brooklyn 99, and I have DID. But this episode triggered me so much aha.
You'd have a BLAST with Parks&Recreation with Ron Swanson, his mom named Tammy and his ex-wives Tammy 1 and Tammy 2.
I have D.I.D and I was so excited when I saw you were going to react to this episode! Thank you so much for explaining what it really is, tv shows like this bother me when they mis-use terms and paint it to be something it’s not
I wholeheartedly believe the only person I could trust as my therapist is now Elliot ^
There are plenty of better and more experienced therapists than me but that's v sweet
I think what I like about the idea that everybody can got to therapy, even just for relatively small problems, and that it's normal to do therapy over a long period of time, is that maybe it takes the pressure out of therapy a bit? Because when I went to therapy I felt like I was only allowed to talk about the big issues, the ones that got me referred to therapy in the first place, and then sometimes I didn't really know what to talk about at all. I don't know if that makes any sense. But I just imagine that if I went to therapy regularly, regardless of how well I'm doing mentally, it might feel more like I can talk about whatever I feel is important to talk about. And also I wouldn't count how many sessions i've already used up and how many are still left and then feel stressed out by that. Oh, and I would have time to actually build up a trusting relationship with my therapist before being in a really bad mental healthy crisis (and also those relationship-building sessions wouldn't have to happen during the very limited amount of sessions available to me). I kinda wish I could go to therapy now...
Haven't even watched yet. You have already made my day better. Can't wait! 😁
Edits for actual reactions:
American fan here - I personally have a therapist to deal with past and current trauma and to help keep my depression and anxiety in check. We meet about once a week. Hope that helps answer your question.
Love how many moments you called in the episode haha!
I agree with you on the differences of how common therapy is in the states. When I told my american friend I had finished my therapy, he asked if I had stopped because I didn’t feel it was helping. He was very confused by my answer of “no I just ran out of sessions”
Michael Schur is amazing at making these complex things like mental health, ethics, philosophy, gender, sexuality, race, etc. entertaining and profound. People can consume these difficult things in fun ways that are still meaningful and do not gaslight the actual issues. His work is incredible and has evolved so much in the Big Shows he's been part of and made. There is a reason by his comedies don't have laugh tracks and have such cult followings. The Good Place. Parks and Rec. The Office. Brooklyn 99. They resonate and never feel too on the nose about these things either. And he allows his characters to grow and become more than what would be expected or what would normally fit in the mold. Leslie Knope and Jake are really good examples of cookie-cutter characters that could have just never grew and stayed in their boxes as "the butt of the joke" but became full humans. Even Hitchcock and Scully had significant development, and Jerry in Parks. Jason in the Good Place. Michael Schur is a genius.
Please react to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's "Josh Is Irrelevant". It's the best show about mental health, and this episode is special.
Wow I would love that. Such an amazing show.
As someone who actually has BPD I disagree. The show is okay but they paint us a problematic and consistently toxic which is not often the case. We have our moments but the person writing this didn’t seem to write ~BPD Well in my opinion. I did stop watching it early so maybe it gets better idk
@@TheIndigoSystem Rebecca is…complicated. She does things that are toxic, but tries to be a better person (kind of) constantly. But does get better over time after she lets go of Josh and Nathanial.
Yes. People use therapy as support to process our day to day experiences and keep us on track. It’s awesome.
In America, plenty of people have the myopic view that going to therapy means acknowledging "weakness" or think "therapy is for messed up people. I'm not like that." due to personal emotional insecurities. Naturally, they fear being criticized for who they are or fear deeper analysis leading to insights they may not want to accept.
the is was very informational and interesting and I can't get over the fact that Elliot said "there will be a child, there will be a female, and there will be an accent" and the first one she suggested crossed all three the "the mischievous seven year old British girl"
i'd love to see your reaction to psych (as in psychic lol) both to a bunch of the characters - shawn's deflection, lassie's anger, yang's...... whole person - and to season four episode eight, "let's get hairy". this episode is more along the lines of what you normally react to without giving anything away lol. there's also season six episode six, "shawn interrupted", where they go undercover in a mental hospital, and season six episode eleven, "heeeeere's lassie", which is a pastiche of horror movies like the shining and rosemary's baby but still has mental health stuff to analyze. but yeah! i really love your breakdowns and appreciated your video on trans mental health :>
Would love to see you react to Psych, Season 1, Episode 7. They take on the dissociative identity disorder and it feels a little more realistic.
I think Mr.Robot also had a pretty realistic potrayal of DID
Silence of the Lambs was one of the best of movies. I guess it's a bit like jaws that it created a kind of cliché around sharks/psychiatrists. Great videos, very thoughtful and informative, thank you
Charles and Jake probably have each other on a location tracking app like Life360 either for safety purposes or just because that’s exactly the kind of info they would do haha
Its pretty common for people to be in counseling for years to work through day to day issues. Obviously there are still huge stigmas around mental health, but in some circles frequent therapy would be considered a good way to unpack childhood trauma or learn emotional skills for dealing with new situations. I've found it SUPER helpful for breaking out of bad patterns, although I don't have any of the more "medical" mental illnesses like schizophrenia or bipolar.
I've never watched Brooklyn nine - nine but it was funny and informative when watching u watch it. I have been hooked on your videos ever since I've seen them
B99 is so funny! Like it touches on a lot of important topics and problems, while being comedic but also serious when actually facing serious topics? But it's an easy watch, and the first few seasons you don't have to have watched everything to simply enjoy the episode! Which is something I love about the show, because when a new season airs there is not a need to recall every single episode... I've binged B99 so many times tho lmao! It's just so easy to watch, and doesn't require that much from you to keep focused! Which is perfect for my ADHD brain.
It’s great you really should, it touches on feminism, racism, mental health, LGBTQ+, homophobia and misogyny while still being hilarious
@@Mia.S13 thiiiis!!! Like it covers so many serious topics in such a good way, and bc it is a show most people can enjoy, they reach a solid audience - so maybe opening some eyes that keep denying the issues we face in this world 🙊🙊... like they even covered racism/racial profiling by cops, misogyny against female cops, homophobia... it's so funny, but also so ON POINT on mistreatment within the police! But in a way that doesn't turn watchers away bc "it's too political". It's like subtle 🤣
@@KrisHe1 Yeah, it wasn’t like when shows spend like seasons on political stuff and it turns viewers away because it’s “too political”
@@Mia.S13 yessss! Like I'm so happy when shows with big viewer numbers actually use the opportunity to put focus on so much - like Grey's Anatomy has also had several solid episodes showing so many real life issues (as well as Station 19), and I love the last seasons of both, but idk it truly are issues I am invested in - but I do think a whole season of both shows being ALL pandemic, BLM etc might turn certain people more away? So I do wish they did it a LITTLE less directly, but at the same time I'm very grateful they did show it in a proper, real way... just know too many of the people that are against these things (anti-maskers/anti-vaxx, anti-BLM and protesting etc..), are going to feel it was too political... but at the same time, I am so happy when they see they are like some of the most popular shows on TV, and can afford doing that? Bc obviously unless it is a show meant to focus on these issues (Pose forexample), they know the audience are there because of that - while shows like Grey's have a wide variety of fans? But they also have the budgets to "risk" viewers?? So not that big of a risk 🤷🏽♀️. But yeah, too openly political often turns away the people that SHOULD see this...
Thanks for all your videos. I've been struggling with my own depression this year and your vids are really helping me think about mental health.

To be fair, what happens there is that the patient told her he thinks he has a personality disorder.
It does not mean that he really suffers from something like that, only that he thinks he suffers from it.
This is actually very similar to a lot of real cases of patients trying to explain to themselves their condition according to what they know from the popular media
as a system with DID, please can i say that integration therapy honestly shouldn't be the ideal. integration is traumatic to the system and is unreliable (we begin to split more when under trauma/extreme stress), instead we need to work on cooperation and teamwork. systems need to learn how to work as one, instead of trying and failing to integrate us into a single stream of consciousness
As a fellow system we fully agree. There isn’t even good research to support the efficacy of integration theory, it’s mostly just theory really, theory dreamed up by singlets at that.
yes, except integration isn’t inherently traumatic to the system. it definitely can be, especially if it’s forced upon the system, but when it’s a choice made for healing it’s often a beautiful thing, at least for my system and others i’ve spoken to.
Petition to make the NHS fund tens of thousands more psych doctors like you 💕
When I first watched the episode I was confused because they refer to Dr Tate as a psychiatrist but his office door says psychologist, which is a different career altogether.
Mostly Jake calls him psychiatrist, no? He might just not as a character know the difference? Since psychologists do the therapy and counseling and most psychiatrists I’ve seen only do the meds
In Canada you can access mental health services through the public system (funded by the government). But it has the same problems you've mentioned; long wait times and a lack of resources. You can also go private (pay yourself). After using the public system I was shocked when I booked through a private therapist office and was able to get in the next week.
I will say that private or public, therapy isn't seen as something you do forever. I've never met anyone who goes to therapy 'just cause' or to talk about their day. You go for a reason and hopefully you get the help you need and move on. But that's my experience, maybe other parts of Canada (or other socioeconomic classes) are different.
It's not just in America where you have regular therapy sessions, I live in Australia and we have that over here as well.
That Tobias Fünke-Hannibal Lecter comparison had me dead 😂
I live in America. I work in an ICU and started going to therapy every two weeks to help deal with what I was seeing. It was really hard at first in the ICU then got worse with Covid.
this is so calming and wholesome... exactly the kind of content i need rn haha
I really wanna see the dr react to the Hannibal tv show! So much of that show was psychological and im curious how accurate it was
It's on the list!
I got a request from my favourite show as a kid called teen titans where it shows the main character having ptsd and it really stuck with me i think it was season 3 x episode 5. It will be interesting to see what they got right and wrong especially as a kid show
I go to therapy weekly. We have set goals and are working towards those goals whether it be learn more about a diagnosis (trauma-based therapy, personally), managing personal relationships, or unlearning maladaptive behaviors (DBT)
This is quickly becoming my favorite channel 👀
Murder only ruins your career *if you get caught*.
Man! You have some great deduction skills.
You already predicted the little girl, the foreign accent and few other things.
You should react to some scenes of Sherlock where he is using mind related techniques like mind maps and his relationship with his psychopathic sister.
Sherlock has a lot sociopaths, maybe you can shed some light and analyse if they have depicted sociopaths and psychopaths accurately.
Rosa and Holt do not want to have less emotions they just like that. I mean when they are emoting but maybe not like other people expecting. They both are capable of strong emotion and maybe that's why they usually are more tough
also Jakes once referred to Amy is mother :D
the only people i know who've gone to therapy routinely without specific incidents were people with mental health issues that went to get an outside perspective on whether or not they were backsliding. otherwise it was more of a conflict mediation thing in families.
Big up Harold Shipman, and my old neighbour who sent him a card saying she believed him when everything came out.
Ahhh Hyde, what a pleasant area.
This was a really great video. Thanks man!
It’s not over. We haven’t seen the last season yet!
Yes, as an American I go to therapy once a week. I usually discuss whatever is bothering me most. I started going pretty regularly during the pandemic because I was overwhelmed trying to handle all the change and loss, and I’m at a point now where I might cut down to twice a month soon. My insurance made therapy completely free for me during the pandemic so I am taking advantage. This week we discussed my social anxiety as things are reopening, and even though I had talked to all my friends about it, once I was with a professional it was so much easier to be honest about what had really been happening and I quickly realized how hard I was being on myself. It’s not always intense sessions, but I really value that time with someone who is paid to listen (so I know I’m not overwhelming a friend) and who has a somewhat neutral investment in my life.
I wanted to add that I also saw a therapist regularly (once a week) when I lived in Rome. Didn’t realize this was an American thing?? It just keeps me grounded and happier! Like a weekly check-in. A good therapist will even give me homework (usually a book to read).
I wish you could be my therapist, your voice calms me
you said something about forcing them to acknoweldge theyre all one person. isnt that extremely dangerous though? and i figured it was literally impossible since alters have different memories and thought processes
Wait...you are a GREAT therapist. This video made me wanna try therapy again, but I just remembered previous bad experiences, and I don't wanna feel like a burden, or a waste of money cause it never helped me...blah, blah, blah, I'm back on square one, but I love how he knew what was really happening to Jake before he said it just because of little hints.
If there's one thing I've learned when it comes to how things are portrayed in TV/Film, It's rarely ever 100% accurate. Sometimes if something is too real, or too true to source material, it doesn't work. It doesn't translate into TV/Film. Either it's distracting, or becomes more about that than the story/plot etc. So many things. That's why a lot of movies differ from the books they're based on. So when it comes to the Psychology aspects, it's usually enough to be recognizable and believable, but isn't 100% textbook accurate. And also why they usually stick to the same bits.
11:55 When pieces grow separately they eventually became individuals.Talking to them like they are individuals is not encouraging anything , it's just acknowledging them
13:24 as a Batman fan I’ve always wanted to talk about how a decent amount of his villains are actually doctors/Scientist or have doctorates/PHD’s
Harley Quinn and scarecrow were both licensed physiatrist
Poison Ivy was a botanist
Hugo strange was a phycologist
Mr. Freeze was a cryogenist
Hush (Thomas Elliot) was a surgeon
Man bat was a Scientist/Doctor
I just find this funny since he’s probably the hero to have the most messed up mental health
Yes, humor is a necessary coping mechanism. I work in a forensic psychiatric institute, and humor is a necessity, especially when working with patients who’ve committed violent and criminal acts.
It's not that routine yet but we're working on getting there it's something anyone can benefit from
It's very interesting and does make sense that he had therapy before and had a bad experience so is now reluctant to go back.
as an american, therapy for me was like a doctor checkup i guess if they see u need more help they’ll want to schedule more sessions back to back like once a week or every other week or once a month and they just kind of catch up with you idk i never rlly opened up to my therapist so most of our session were just kind of small talk and me talking about lowkey things that effect me yk
Dr Strange from Arkham Asylum had me chuckling. I assume you meant Dr Harleen Quinzel aka Harley Quinn from Arkham Asylum. Dr Strange is a surgeon iirc from Marvel Comics, Harley is from DC Comics.
That being said, it was a very interesting analysis. It would be very interesting to see your take on Anthony Padilla's interview with people who have DID. You gained a new subscriber! 😁
Omg I'm so rubbish. I told you I know nothing about comics!
@@DoctorElliottCarthy it happens to the best of us 😆
Isn't there a Dr. Hugo Strange in DC comics? A batman Villain?
actually Dr Strange IS a Batman villain (and in the show Gotham he's the head psychiatrist at Arkham). He's one of the first of Batman's regular Rogue gallery to have been introduced all the way back in 1940 while Marvel's doctor Strange was introduced in Marvel's 'revival' of the 60's with Stan Lee (created around the same time as Spider-Man and the F4).
So there's Doctor Hugo Strange -> Batman -> DC (1940)
and there's Dr Stephen Strange -> Marvel (1960's)
@@celia1888 I stand corrected 🙃
So I've just come across your channel. I love it! I also can't get it out of my head how much you look like Chris Broad from Abroad in Japan channel in youtube
I really enjoyed this reaction!
12:39 he knew he had it LOL
I loved the video!!
Omg I loved this video ! Maybe a cool video or series could be you unpacking the different personalities like Amy , holts , Charles etc
Jake really needed therapy the whole show but yeah he always wanted to joke about his trauma, avoid and pretend he was fine. Honestly I was kinda dismissive of therapy and thought it wouldn't help or that I was just overdramatising my issues by going. But yeah it's been helpful for me.
Okay, so I've stumbled upon your channel very recently (praise be, o CZcams algorithms!) and have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. I'm only subbed to about a dozen channels (been on the platform for about 15 years), so that's very rare. Your shared love for Always Sunny and the both hilarious and insightful commentary on them made me an instant fan. You throwing down nerdy Batman knowledge about Hugo Strange have just cemented my already high opinion of your content. Sub earned, thank you so much :) Also you're really fun to listen to and easy on the eyes, so there's that, I guess. Don't worry, I promise I'm no stalker or serial killer (: Keep up the good work, very excited to binge watch your channel the upcoming weeks!
Cheers

In the US, some people only do therapy as a crisis management and then some people who do it monthly, or even weekly, to regularly process, treat, and maintain mental health
1:28 I’m Canadian but I know for a fact that yes it is normal to go to therapy on a regular basis in the USA
I’m only a few minutes in but 1) if I were ever to ever go to therapy, I’d request you. Totally safe environment even over CZcams. And 2) I love this show but wow. 🤣 So mishandled at times, thank goodness it’s funny!
4:10 "an incredibly distressing and frightening experience where everything you're living is a completely different reality to other people around you"
you kind of get used to it. Once it gets to the point where people stop inviting you to "consensus reality" a lot of the pressure lifts and you just start doing your own thing
I see my therapist once a fortnight, both to deal with day to day stress and also to work through trauma.
And this is in Australia
Yes, in the US, it’s very common to regularly go to therapy. Best decision I’ve ever made once you find one you connect with. My first couple ones weren’t my cup of tea. The therapist I see now is incredible.
A good therapy session to analyze would be Helga on the Couch! I love that episode and am curious what you would say about it!
Yo. My grandfather is retired GP from the North West of the UK, and he was once at a doctors convention thing in his earlier years of practice, and there was a man; another doctor, at the convention that all the other doctors were avoiding and giving the side eye. So my grandfather, being nice, went and talked to the man for a little but the man wasn't very receptive and preoccupied with other things so it was only brief. A short while later my grandfather learns the name of that man. Dr. Harold Shipman.
His response was a resounding "oh no."
Oh no indeed
It's always great to hear someone reference Hugo Strange
With America, I would definitely say all the therapist stuff is the heaviest around schools, since a lot of schools suggest students go to therapy if they don’t sit still or whatever so they can then get medication for things such as ADHD so they are less disruptive. Because it is just dreadful that a kid isn’t sitting still or behaving in a manner that is convenient for adults.
