    This song is about him being misdiagnosed and given psych meds and the effects it had on him when all the time he was sick with Lyme disease, and your right, the mental health care system is broken and needs to be fixed, loved the reaction , he has a wealth of songs out there, Insomnia is a very profound one as is Jenny and Screech.

    I have complex chronic illnesses like Ren, and he captures the medical gaslighting that SO many of us experience so so well. I have had several doctors regularly dismiss my suffering as being psychological in origin, before they investigate other conditions that are actually the cause of my symptoms. So i think this goes beyond the mental health industry - it really is a commentary on how doctors are so often dismissive of our suffering (for whatever reason) which leads to delays in diagnosis, treatment, and support. And how medication is just so readily given, without concern about side effects and/or whether suppressing symptoms through medications is even the best and most appropriate 'treatment' for various conditions. This song really is SO powerful for the chronic illness community - it quite literally gave me a voice to express my frustration with the system to my therapist and I fully intend to bring it up to other doctors I have too x

      It’s truly tragic how doctors blame so much on psychological without looking into what their patients are telling them. The amount of times I was told by doctors that it was all in my head…..MRI proved it was NOT all in my head. As my current and amazing doctor pointed out, who wouldn’t be depressed being in so much pain that they are bedridden and have no quality of life.

    I really appreciate your openness. One of the many things I like about Ren is that he makes people talk about things that are often brushed aside, and he brings different conversation partners to the table. If find his quietness and statement that he thinks that it is all making sense, straight after his cry out as drowning 'without making a sound' so profound. People shut up and comply when they lose trust in the system.

    As a CRPS patient from four failed back surgeries I absolutely feel his pain and struggle. Being labeled a seeker and shopper almost needed my life. My diagnosis came almost by accident after more than 5 years of bagging for hope and being divorced. It’s humiliating to not be listened too. Add to that when family believe Drs over you it’s heartbreaking. I hate knowing so many people go thru this and tbh I’ve had to stop going to chronic pain support groups bc the amount of suicides got too hard to deal with on top of every thing else. The healthcare system is broken and the US govt has enabled apathy at alarming levels. “Sit their and tell me I’m sick w a smile on you face!”

    Thanks for your insignt from a clinical perspective. It's a pity you felt you had to remove yourself from that industry as I think those practicing (and prescribing!) in heslthcare would do well to hear this message - there are 1000's of Ren devotees who have connected through his music expressing similar experiences/struggles and let downs, feeling unheard by those employed to listen and not just be palmed off with numbing meds or their experiences discounted with the "it's all in your head / you're just suffering stress. Things like that push us deeper into the Darkness that is hopelessness.
    I recommend Challk Outlines (Live) with Chincilla; Insomnia and Diazepam. I've not yet checked of you've reviewed Hi Ren - the raw exposure of himself that catapulted him finally after more than 10 years into getting some global recognition for his musical, lyrical and performance genius

    As someone who went misdiagnosed for my entire life until I was 26 (2 years ago), Rens music really hits different. Its honestly helped me understand my own emotions about my chronic illness and whats been happening to me (I also never saw an artist with mcas who talks about it).
    I was given meds that made me worse and made me sicker, then the mental health issues were treated when they were really just a symtom of the actual main issues (seizures) that was undiagnosed. Doctors decided I had generalized anxiety disorder and everything was in my head, because I'm a female that was ot for me. Doctors see "anxiety" on your chart and thats it. Inwas having a seizure and a doctor literally asked me "Are you sure this isnt just an axiety attack."

    Thanks for this reaction. Very lovely to see a reaction from a honest MD. I am 39, and I am an indie video game developer who diagnosed with OCD years ago, then ADD and recently with ASD, also experienced four episodes of major depression along the way. Like Ren, I am also dealing with an auto immune disease since the last 7 years. None of our biology was designed for this ultra fast, high sensory, globally connected, consumerist modern lifestyle, and the society labels the minority who falls in the last ranks of their rat race as "sick". Genes and neurological varieties are like random dices which adapt species for the ever changing conditions of our universe, but our society tries to "fix" and "eradicate" those dices unfit to this bullshit type of existence we only created a century ago. This is what neuro-diversity movement try to stand against and I notice that, a lot of neuro-diverse people have anarchist tendencies like me, because we are the most oppressed. I am taking therapy since almost 10 years and using medication not because I need a "fix", because I have no such power to "fix" the whole society.

      Doctors are victims as well for sure - most of them get extremely disappointed they are not allowed to respect their oath unconditionally, UNLESS proof of payment is possible. So in a short while, they either give up their job or they will just get colder and colder with their patients. The tick (read it problem) in this system is the insurance system and also people abusing the medical insurance system, throwing lawsuit for almost anything. Doctors in most evolved countries began to reduce amount of investigations to a person just to avoid not getting them (the patients) broke - can anyone even process that? We destroy the little good we have by allowing everything we build so far to be abused. IF tomorrow all the doctors will decide to go to strike to fix this will you cover their back? Cause all the big corpos will definitely put the cannons on them indirectly and some of them will also get licenses revoked without the slightest care, to be set an example.

    My exgf who had sickle cell was regularly told she was drug shopping when she was in the middle of a sickle crisis, as blood clots were being pushed through her lungs, through her bone marrow, causing excruciating pain. She ended up living over double her life expectancy. (Her parents were told she wouldn't make it to 20.) One of her sisters died in her 20s. She made it to her 40s, but it wasn't an easy life. The whole medical profession gaslit her for her whole life. Doctors don't like people with conditions they can't fix.

    I truly wish I could wax poetically about the struggles with all my diagnosis as succinctly, simply and to the point as well as he does. It refreshes my soul to hear a mental health professional acknowledge the current system is broken in so many ways. Here he is SPOT ON about how patients feel about their doctors, treatments, and seemingly lack of true compassion for patients. In fact, the frustration with this system, especially Doctors who sit across the table from you with glassed over eyes, sometimes causes me more stress and anxiety than other parts of my life. Hearing your analysis gives me a new perspective and also hope that there are professionals out there who do care, and one day the system may improve. Until then, we have been essentially marginalized by society. THANK YOU FOR THIS. Take listen to "Pocket Full of Pain" please as well. I will be following your channel closely now. Glad I found it.

    I really like your reactions and insight considering your position regarding mental health and such.
    You have a very pleasant and soothing voice and i can hear just from your way of speaking that you have a very therapeutic understanding of these serious issues.
    Another thing i love is the fact that even though you might see people with very rough situations and mental conditions quite often, it still get's to you because you are after all a human being too and that gives us who don't trust the "system a bit of hope, it is after all very hard to watch people suffer.
    So, as someone who has struggled with severe depression for over 38 years now i have to commend you doing the hard work that inevitably will help us understand the human psyche a bit better over time.
    It ain't easy dealing with other people's misery, it has a tendency to drag you down if you are surrounded by negativity all the time, no matter how strong you are.
    I think REN is one of the most brilliant minds of the modern era when it comes to putting words on feelings that a lot of people have but may not be able articulate as precise as they need.
    Personally i'm no fan of this song, but Hi Ren and Chalk Outlines really hit me hard both musically and lyrically.

One slight cultural reference that might be missed, here in the UK the pig mask is a symbol that represents 'authority' mainly adopted from George Orwell's book 'Animal Farm'. To be derogatory towards the police you can use the term 'pigs' or you can say 'oink', you could also stretch the pig mask meaning to encompass the capitalist system as whole.

    Thank you for your reactions to Sick Boi, by Ren and Ren: Hi Ren. Another video you may want to React to is Ren X Chinchilla: "Chalk Outlines". "Chalk Outlines" is lighter but still thought provoking with beautiful vocals and presentation. As always Ren's guitar playing is superb.

    I will inform you that Ren was wrongly diagnosed with a number of mental illnesses for five years when he actually was suffering from lyme disease. He got worse an worse by his own illness and also by medicine he got for mental illness. He is still suffering from that and many of his songs reflects this. He has many deep thoughts on many different subjects. I find him to be a real truth teller. I hope you will check more from him. I suggest you check Chalk Outlines as next.

    It’s not only now the system is broken. And is not just burn out. It’s lack of training and most of all care!
    It’s been like this for the past 30odd years.
    It’s a true reflection of the medical system in the UK
    Am a cancer survivor with long term physical effects that affected my already existent PTSD, neurological issues, etc
    Have been misdiagnosed, butchered with lack of empathy and just given meds to ‘see if they work. Then pushed from dr to dr.
    I also have autoimmune illnesses that have caused a toll on my psyche. But mental health professional simply don’t listen to us as humans. They listen to some key words and don’t see the human and the pain in us

    Funny, I found this. As a Vet I finally went to the VA, out since 2008. Saw my Vietnam Vet father get BS'd by the VA over agent orange. Upon my first meeting with a head Dr. about ptsd I figured give'em a try. After unloading what was on my mind, well, the Doc says "sounds like you got a lot of baggage to get over." WTF? After 2 combat tours and attached to state level DTF seeing tweekers kill kids, guess I'll just get over that. And people wonder why vets move to the country to get away from a fucked up system they fought to defend.

    I been on this situation way to many times. I was explaining my mental health problems, how i feel how i cope in society and so on. And the 'mental health nurse' said i am ok as i have a wife a children.
    Here in Scotland we are basically sign posted to different places to 'help' i had been to all the places she suggested they didnt help. Then the nurse proceeded to tell me and added to my notes i am refusing to engage with services. At this point I walked out so angry.
    I find it hard to understand peoples behaviours and even i understood she didnt care.

    Name is a reference to 2 of the main characters (Renton and Sick Boy) in Trainspotting (1994) . Even the therapist in Sick Boi video has a Scottish accent and the song almost seems as if it could have been in the film. It's good but a sad message about today's healthcare .

  • @tom7471
    @tom7471 Před rokem

    Thank you for the reaction to Ren's brilliance. For a long time now I have seen that being well adjusted to a sick society does not make one sane. It comes down to each and every one of us, doesn't it, to see that our collective approach is so greatly fragmented, flawed, non-linear, and also that society is always but a reflection (and result) of the individuals that make up this collective, no? Like Ren says in his 'Hi Ren' there is darkness with the light in this dance, and to make the pendulum swing less extremely one (and everyone) need but relax. This state of the quieter mind(s) just might lead us to more thoughtfulness, more compassion, and ultimately better outcomes in every aspect of life. After all, it is the aggregate self-centered movements in our society that can't help but result in chaos and division. Perfection does not exist. But understanding our flaws (individually and collectively) at a deeper level can bring insight, which is actual change without an ideal to force others to adhere to, because it is on-going and non-conclusive -- insight is its own action. This could be what some people might call realizing the self, and of course one never really arrives anywhere but can see clearly one is always right here. It is not unlike seeing destruction of the self and others as the same. We know not to put our hand in boiling water, but somehow we lose that immediacy and intensity regarding our relationship with other human life. I enjoy your thoughtful videos.

    I only recently found Ren, and your reactions, and I gotta, say, you nailed it on mental health care...
    My psychiatrist gave me some meds to start my treatment (she diagnosed me with schizophrenia, depression, OCD, ADD (or is it ADHD? English is not my native language, I might misspell these, sorry.)...I found that weird since I assume there are tests to reach diagnosis, but I went through none, so I take the pills, they make me sick, I go back and ask to change medication because what I'm taking is making me sick, she explicitly says "I'll give you these, but you should know...if these don't work, I see no other recourse than "hospitalizing" you (basically having me commited but she can't say they'll have me commited.)
    I never went back, and I'm afraid to try therapy again.

    My biggest take from this video is towards the end where he draws the analogy of exploiting the Earth's resources and medication drip drip effect on his body, both unchecked leads to a similar destructive state. Fortunately in Ren's case, he's in a much better place these days, the miss diagnoses in the past, his Lyme disease almost eradicated. Unique perspective reaction, I enjoyed it!

    My psychologist of 7 years quit her job to go work in a small partnership. The clinic she worked for and I was a patient with, changed from an old, well known clinic into a part of a large conglomerate of psych clinics, managed by a very large investment group. Her job changed from taking in patients and treating them, to just doing intakes and referring patients to younger, less experienced and especially cheaper, psychologists, psychotherapists and even trainees. Triage, nothing else. She stayed the longest of all her collegues that quit, because she didn't want to leave her patients. She ofcourse wasn't allowed to take patients with her. She left and I quit therapy. Couldn't bring myself to start over with someone else. Haven't been back for over 10 years now. Hasn't done me any good.
