Psychiatrist Breaks Down Mental Health Scenes From Movies & TV | GQ - Zábava
This dude looks like a superheros secret identity
Except he's not a superhero, he's a real-life hero!
@@avalonjustin fair
Clark Kent lmao
Hahahahaha nice
@@edward9628 was thinking exactly the same thing lmao
“I’m a child, adolescent, adult, and forensic psychologist.”
First Clip: *HORSEMAN*
LMAO
😅🤣
Our do the assburgs system.
Isn't he a psychiatrist? 🤔
@@stephanyflores506 ah you’re right I fudged the quote up. Joke still stands tho.
The association with violence is exactly what gives mental health its stigma.
Look at it this way. The reason for memtal health resulting im violence is a.stigma is because moat of the time, people view things in a wromg/negative way. Why can we view.things in a positive way, instead of always being negative?
And that it is a "weakness"
@@nicholascrow8133 yup definitely
Exactly. While it can definitely lead to violence, that's often not the case.
this exactly
I feel like Joker definitely has some symptoms of psychosis-- just not in this scene. But throughout the movie, he has these relationship building scenes with his neighbor, where he believes he's spending time with her. But at the end of the movie we see those scenes again, and see that she was never there with him.
his description of narcissistic personality disorder fits the behavior of POTUS #45 like a glove...
Yes! And his delusions of being on TV before going on TV
He obviously didn’t watch the full movie
He look like Dr Who’s Harvard grad brother, Dr Why
This comment needs more likes 😂😂 Pure comedy!
Bahahahahaha
You should meet their Architect brother, Dr. How
How is this not the top liked comment?
Now I know what he reminded me of
5% of the comments: *something something mental health*
95% of the comments: This guy is ripped wtf
yeah, as a guy with Asperger's I was completely insulted by a lot of what this muscle brain said.
@@tyrant-den884 Nice bait.
@@snkybrki don't belittle me.
@@tyrant-den884 Not belittling you, just calling out your attempt at messing with people. Hence, bait.
@@snkybrki i hate how everything is just too much sometimes
I remember someone commented on Inside out that each parents central emotion might show what kind of thing they're dealing with. like with the dad for example anger rules and he might have anger issues or with the mom sadness rules which might show that she's depressed in a way
Led me to think
Not necessarily. The whole point of the movie is to show that having negative emotions is OK. These may just be their primary responses. It just the way that they deal with things.
It doesn't necessarily mean that they have a neurochemical imbalance like in the issues that you mention.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Year late but I remember seeing a theory that the parents central emotion is a deeper symbol for a matured emotion like protective being anger for the dad and compassion as sadness for the mom, I think this would make sense as emotions are subjective but I don’t get the mom one
Girl Interrupted (both the movie and book) was so important to me when I got diagnosed with BPD. It showed me that, no matter how bad I felt at the time, I had a chance to live a normal life again.
That makes me happy to know 😁
Man he’s really a child, an adolescent, an adult, and a forensic psychiatrist? His parents must be proud.
Ah yes the four stages of life: child, adolescent, adult, forensic psychiatrist
His kids must be too, I hope also his grandchildren as well.
I have been a child, an adolescent, and am now an adult. Three out of four ain't bad, but my parents aren't all that proud of me :(
Hahaha love this comment 🤣
@@Soph149 thank you, thank you
“psychiatrist breaks down” the irony on this
LMFAO
“Fun is not something one would consider balance, but this, this does bring a smile to my face..”
It's not irony it's a turn of phrase.
@@kicrazy4208 when balancing the universe*
@@Vote_By_Mail i mean, it is ironic
"it's a medication issue" really helps me personally, if i miss my meds and feel dangerously sad but i realize it's because of the medication, I feel better because I know it will pass. What sucks is when the sadness isn't a medication issue :(
I’ve personally found therapy/counseling helpful on sadness that isn’t “cured” by medicine. If you haven’t considered it or are currently in, then I recommend maybe just looking into it. :)
yh sometimes it reminds u that ur not the problem
As someone who has dealt with PMDD levels of sadness, I hear you. Even if we feel it in the moment, intensely, just knowing "Ok, there's a physical reason for this and it'll eventually pass like clockwork" makes it bearable, even while finding things like coping.
Sending hugs!
If we think of autism as a "sensory processing" disorder instead of a "developmental" disorder, it helps explain the need for routine and consistency. If I constantly felt like how I feel when I'm at an international airport during the holiday season, I'd lose my mind whenever one little thing was out of place too.
It is not a sensory processing disorder though, it is literally a developmental disorder ( neuro diverse). The sensory processing is part of the neuro diversity
@@daisybelle1025 Diversity and developmental disorder are not synonyms, wdym.
Sensory processing is absolutely part of Autism. But that's not.. "what it is". That's kind of like saying.. let's not think of a car as a car. But, let's of of it as just the seat. Like yeah, absolutely all cars have seats. But if it's just a seat, it's not a car.
Autism is a Neurodevelopmental disability. Part of it is SPD. But it's all the mix of things that makes it autism. And not just spd.
Not a huge fan of them having used rainman to represent autism here. They chose of the one in a million type representations. *sigh*
And, many autistic people are VERY empathetic. So empathetic that it can be painful. Which is why we try to avoid it sometimes. We shouldn't just be looking for empathy to diagnose autism. Especially in girls
"Let me get this straight, you want this random dude to be your therapist?"
Literally this entire comment section: "I do, and I'm tired of pretending that I don't."
I'm in this group lol
yes yes yes yes pls
I feel called out
Im in this picture and i dont like it
I am your 666 like
Bojack Horseman is a mental health masterpiece that dives within the human brain so well it required animals to release tension
yeah definitely bc if it was human it will be really bothersome and harder to watch
yeah exactly, imagine how much more depressing and saddening it would be for some people to watch
A+ show
Fact.
@Sam Glueck no it was fine just the party anxiety scene
When Jack Nicholson walked in to the therapist's office and just went "hi. HAAALP!!" is probably the most relatable moment of my adult life
I think the most important thing that Lars represents is the importance of community-based therapy. The doctor is bringing together a very broad web of care and support which is crucial for any social deficiency.
Clark Kent you ain’t foolin me just cause you went back to school and changed your major
This comment is underrated
🤣🤣😂😂😂
Lol
😂😂😂 my god this is everything
KEKW
Next time: serial killer breaks down death scenes in movies.
omg yes
Serial killer is a bit vague. I'd prefer a specific killer known for their sadism.
"Thats not very accurate, when your breaking in the house you should always wear gloves."
@@Oneday-bw8gu depends on the type of gloves, but I have already said too much
Serial Killer breaks down crying
I could listen to him talk about these topics all day.
I never realized how they depicted how the adults were emotionally mature. Even though Anger was the dads captain and Sadness was the moms they all sat at the table as equals and worked together as a team instead of one conpletely taking over the controls like in the teenager.
The fact this guy doesn't have a British accent oddly upsets me
I feel that too haha
He legit lools like Matt Smith
I feel that too
I wanted him to sound like Clark Kent
i wanted him to sound like giles
Social anxiety is so bad because it's self fulfilling. You're so worried, you become the person you're afraid of being
Yeah😞
Stay strong my friend, I know the feeling. But the fact of being worried is a good sign that you will not.
This is a very true way to say that. I couldn’t had said it better myself! I send my love to you
And usually there is a lot of people to make things worse and adding fuel to the fire
I just feel like everyone's all super awkward towards each other at first, once you get to know the person you'll eventually get comfortable around them, trust me I still feel hella awkward towards my best friend idk I just feel like he feels forced to hang out with me because I don't talk with anyone, we've been through elementary-highschool, but its just something that I try to keep out of my brain loop I guess
Edit: there's assholes out there trust me, my best advice is to worry about yourself, better yourself, you came into this world alone, you've made it this far, whats another 19 years right? GO GET THAT BAG MY ENWARD OMM
I do like that he states violence within psychopathy/sociopathy is rare. People tend to construe violence with those personality types.
I mostly agree with the borderline diagnosis, but there's so much that was left out, I think sometimes how intensely someone feels is insane ...I get so happy I have to take anxiety meds to calm down, and that's something that only a few understand.
I have this too! Sometimes I’ll be excited about something and get too amped up. It turns into anxiety to the point I don’t even want to do the thing anymore.
Same, i feel euphoric, and i get a burning feeling in my chest
it's a short video why do you expect a whole break down of every mental condition?
Why is superman reacting on Joker's psychology
That's Man Hunter
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Antisocial Personality Disorder czcams.com/video/zoETiceo4U8/video.html
🤣🤣🤣
“Psychosis does NOT equal psychopath”...
I couldn’t clap f**king loud enough
JOKER SPOILERS
in the end it did show that most of the stuff that happened were hallucinations tho.
@@DevilsSpawn3 wait fr? Like what part? I didn't catch that when I watched
@@crustbucket2725 watch the film theory vid on it it’s great
Me: * a kid with psychopathic thoughts and the fear of becoming psychotic * Jajajaja 😅
Dude....... I need serious help. Plz help me :'(
@Bookniffler Thanks for the really obvious advice I guess.... Anyways I'm already going to the doctor because of my epilepsia.
I don't think Joker was saying all mental illness people get violent. It's this man, who has been abused, pushed aside, ignored, and has just had enough and snapped. And we do know why, the movie literally shows us why.
Reminds me of Elephant’s Memory (Criminal Minds). That episode nails it on the head really
I think he was saying that It's the only type that Hollywood makes movies about, and therefore, people get the impression that it's the norm.
But most mentally and chronically physically ill people have that experience... and don't snap. That's why the problem with the Joker thesis
Say youre a reddit user without saying you’re a reddit user
@@hcf4kd1992 the majority don't, but some still do. Almost all serial killers have mental illnesses and some degree of abuse/trauma in their background. Joker going through what he did and snapping isn't unrealistic, its just uncommon. The issue is that there aren't many 'happy' movies about mental illness that show someone actually living with it successfully, because thats unfortunately just less of an interesting story.
One of my friends recently pointed out to me that in Inside Out, Sadness is in charge of all of the emotions in the mom’s head while Anger is in charge of the dad. I thought that was really interesting.
No one is talking about how the acronym for Social Anxiety Disorder is literally SAD
and Seasonal Affective Disorder
@@joclark4619 which is funny cause this guy looks like Neil Cicierega, who wrote a song called SAD about his Seasonal Affective Disorder
Reading this in my psychology freshman year did make me chuckle a bit...
SAD(Social Anxiety Disorder), the big SAD
separation anxiety disorder.
The Joker does see things tho, he imagined an entire romance that didn’t exist.
I was about to say the same thing he must not of seen the whole movie because it very clearly showed a bunch of hallucinations
I think his point was that Arthur wasn’t having a psychotic delusion when he was on the Murray show. Not that he doesn’t ever have them.
he also hallucinated doing that great stand up when in fact he couldn't get a single sentence out of his mouth.
That was for us. We realised she wasn’t his girlfriend. It was a delusion. She wasn’t following him around giving him advice.
It’s called an unreliable narrator...
He doesn’t leave the asylum and he isn’t the joker.
Spoilers
I always thought he imagined it not that he hallucinated it
I really liked that this expert pointed out what a true psycho path is not a person with anger and rage those are normal emotions but someone who lacks empathy or feelings and can't deal with their emotions properly
Thank you so much for talking about depression. I have had it since I was 15/16 years old , now I'm 32 .
Do you got severe depression?
He's so gentle and kind in his words but also himself and professional at the same time. I bet he does a really good job treating people.
Yeah that's why he's a psychiatrist
Being a psychiatrist requires an individual to have a sense of unconditional positive regard for their client, which is why he sounds so calm
On his linked in it says he was named one of the bay areas best doctors in San Francisco.
@@JazzSingh many psychiatrists don't have any positive regard. They are in it for money quite often and don't care about their patients. Also, you don't have to have completely calm demeanor to present unconditional positive regard.
Considering that he's trained as a psychiatrist but brands himself as a therapist seems pretty telling.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this video. Having a wife with several of these disorders, it's so important to be reminded sometimes, what it must be like to be ill. And the way you led us gently to understanding that coping and medical treatment need to go hand in hand, that's so very very important to always remember.
Bojack horseman is so underrated. People downplay it because of being a cartoon but it's possibly the most accurate series about mental illness and reality....ironic
Never thought I’d see a Psychiatrist breakdown the mental health of a fictional cartoon character that’s a horse....
bojack horseman is one of the best tv series of all time, go watch it, its incredible
A cartoon I had never seen or heard of.
It was a great thing though!
for a cartoon, Bojack depicts quite accurately a lot of the state of mind of maladaptive behaviours common in people with varying degrees of mental health issues
What a time we live in
This guy makes me feel like its okay to try therapy.
It is okay to try therapy, theres nothing to be ashamed of. Your mental health is just as, if not MORE important than your physical health. Take care of yourself
@@crunchu2361 god I wish I thought the same thing
This guy looks like every girl begs him to rail them
There is no shame in therapy :).
there's no shame in going to therapy :) I've been going for a few months now, and it already started to change my life in a profound way. I couldn't recommend it enough.
I think that the most amazing thing here is that this guy knows so much, understands so much and can describe so much of these different aspects of the human psyche, combined with him constantly talking to patients, and he still functions as a normal person! I mean... just how much can one glaze into the abyss before the abyss glazes back into you?!
My close friend has schizophrenia, he is a full time and a wonderful parent. He has his jab's every 3 months. He has his issues, as we all do but he is a legend to his daughter. A good man he is shows that his mental health, even being diagnosed with mental illness still stands tall. He has a wonderful 8 year old girl and has her on a sound path for her future. Much respect to him!
Anyone feels like you have mental health issues, the speak openly. if we do not know, we cannot help!
He spent his youth getting a degree in psychology so he could spend his golden years being a hero
Actually he spent his years getting a undergrad degree, went to med school, and then did psych residency.
@@sandrameesala6804 youre fun at parties
@@ghazala2088 ....the original comment was a joke abt him looking like superman, are you guys dumb?
@@memali2939 they didnt get the joke
he's actually got a medical degree, then specialised in psychiatry. psychology degrees don't let you prescribe medication to patients.
Everyone in the comments can’t decide if this guy is Tom Holland, Matt Smith or Clark Kent

Just to add my own little addition to what he said about routines being a comfort to people with autism: These routines can be so important because they help people on the spectrum to feel more in control of what is happening in a world that is hard to control and also allows them to have a better idea of what to expect which can help to ease anxiety as they can try to make plans for how to deal with things that may be required e.g. conversations, actions needed etc.
Ps. Getting frustrated is natural but it doesn't help anyone. The autistic person is not doing it on purpose to annoy you.
Also, it’s highly important to note that the traits for ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) in the DSM-V were written in the context of how Autistic people (and, for awhile long time, young white boys who were studied the most) behave if they’re overwhelmed, over stimulated, and trying to deal with people who misunderstand different behavior and communication styles and navigating a world not designed for ASD people in mind…

I was just thinking about this
Dialect Daddy & Psychiatry Stud
Fine Fine, like really.
YASSS WE NEED TO SEE THEM TOGETHER LOL
I think in Girl, Interrupted the psychiatrists makes such an effort pointing out that Winona (I forgot the name of her character) doesn't understand the concept of ambivalence because it's also a sign of borderline disorder. Having strong feelings but never ambivalent ones.
I ran across your channel and I'm so fascinated by the movie references to mental health diagnosis, I myself was diagnosed bipolar depression and adhd at 25, I had so many emotional issues that I didn't understand why I was so different and seemingly difficult to deal with until I seen a psychiatrist.
"For many people, mental illness is a part of who they are. It doesn't define them." This is a very simple statement yet holds so much power.
Mental illness is a term invented to label individual traits of people, who are not functioning the way the system wants them to.
person-first perspective let's gooo
And the fact that you so vaguely agree with his vague statement shows that you don't hold much water in your knowledge of mental illness, as he doesn't. People who are mentally ill do understand that there's something wrong with them, and it has a huge impact on how they see themselves and the world in general. If that's not the definition of "defining" then I'm not sure what is.
TumblR was full of 'em
For some people, it does define them and they get completely lost.
We just all got a free session with a legit psychiatrist. I learned so much!
I also love better call saul
hard to take u seriously with that pfp
Don't know about the other disorders but what he talked about mine, Bipolar disorder, is very accurate. It's not all but it is a good depiction.
And some of those lessons, especially about autistic people, are wrong. And I know as I am autistic.
@@JeshuaSquirrel he did say that the autistic spectrum is quite diverse.
I remember by biggest fear when I learned I had a mental illness was that I was gonna be locked up for being “crazy” because of what I had seen in movies and shows. Accurate representation is so important!
there’s quite a famous man in japan who has legally married a fictional character who helped him cope with the trauma of being treated poorly by people all his life.he gets so much attention for the eccentricity of it but i truly hope he can be helped out of that mindset that other humans are so untrustworthy and only someone fictional could love him. truthfully not too long ago it became extremely difficult for me to trust happiness but i guess i haven’t given up completely even if i’m extremely lonely.
I love how delicately he talks about Borderline Personality Disorder. It's refreshing.
Ikr! ☺️
Agreed
Agree.
Yes!
Ugh same 🥲🥺
I need a therapy session with this guy. He’s so calming.
Ok
Thats the point
It is his job after all
I need one with him, to help understand myself better.
That will be 4000 per session lmao
i gotta be honest ive seen alot of these break down videos and this expert is easily one of the best, explains things so well and really does break things down.
Individuals like these are why I'm so particularly interested in the science of psychology -- breaking down at a very human, personal level why individuals are what they are, the situations they've been in that might have shaped what they are and just overall gently explaining some things that people might have not necessarily "wrong" about the way psychology and psychiatry are perceived now but educate and debunk.
I wish more individuals, especially whenever there's an expert on television shows or news programs, were like him.
One thing that always bummed me out about the movie inside out is that sadness is the one leading in the mother's head :
Yep, but was perfect to explain some heavy family history to my kids.
Anger leads in the father's head so I think the "putting the foot down" scene being quick was his anger issues showing a bit
بس دراد
part of that might be because the mom has had a history of depression, but considering the theme of the movie i think sadness being the lead shows that she is deeply empathetic as well. sadness = understanding a person's pain enough to be there and help them get through it
Something is telling me the psychiatrist works out. 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
Everybody's saying he looks like superman but for me he's the pychiatrist version of Tom Holland
AHHAHAHAHHAH YES!
Thats what I was thinking
He looks like Matt Smith to me.
I can see that
@@jquiznos2283 I just searched him up, and he does!!!
I have ocd and its extremely inconvenient to deal with
the overpowering anxiety that something bad will happen if you don't do the thing your brain is telling you to do, the mental exhaustion if you mess up and have to start over... it sucks
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my CZcams channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
I'm scared of therapy, but this guy seems entirely comfortable to talk with
Therapy is always the most healthy choice if you feel like you have a mental illness like anxiety or your going through something really hard and need someone to help you. You just need to research a few sites and therapists to find out which one is qualified and which ones are faking (trust me, there are tons of awful therapists out there that can make your anxiety or illness worse). But if you ever feel like your having trouble with your life, maybe going through something crappy, a therapist is the most healthy option instead of suffering. Therapy doesint have to be scary as long as your careful, trust me, there really nice and there here to listen, so your don’t think your annoying them! :)
You just need the right therapist. I was lucky enough to get a good therapist, but unfortunately many other people in my life that I care for don't have access to actually *good* therapists.
dont bre, go there if u need help. i wish i could go
that's the point. These people are well educated. Their whole job is taking to people, listening, and helping them.
@@peoplelegend8476 It really (can't understate this) depends on which country or region you live. That alone makes a huge difference.
American Matt Smith doesn't exist, he can't hurt you.

I was looking for someone who says he looks like matt smith lmaooo
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT
THANK YOU
Matt Smith. My thoughts too!
I like this American Matt Smith. I'm down to seeing him exist.
Really needed to see this video today.
I have PTSD also severe anxiety most of the time which can be debilitating. I can't make new friends or 'fit in' but I'm at an age that I don't even wish to make new friends. I can talk to people I don't know but only if I HAVE to - will talk easily with people I am totally familiar with. I've cut off many toxic people in the last few years, cut out all social media & it has helped immensely. I have lost many people in my family (bc of death or suicide). I was abused as a child & in my adult years (obviously there are things I'd definitely omit here) but I know my trauma & pain does not define me.
When I was 18 and getting anxiety and panic attacks before I knew what they were I realized grounding myself by recognizing everything around me worked so well. Sometimes it works more than other times but that and breathing in a brown paper bag works for me

Agreed
he inspired me so much
He also has massive hands, witch I think is pretty gosh darn kool
@@ab0lishp0liticians67 weak bait
This guy is promoting ABA as a “treatment” for autism, which in the autistic community is seen as being abusive and causing trauma. Please do research on these things before just taking everything he says as fact. Just because someone has studied psychology doesn’t mean they’ll be correct about everything, and can even be discriminatory towards people with certain disorders or neurodivergencies.
My therapist actually recommended I watch inside out so it’s cool to see that other mental healthcare professionals think highly of the movie as well and it’s ability to help you understand your emotions a bit more
I love the commentary about Savant Syndrome and ASD in Rain Man. Dr. Darold Treffert was a world renowned expert in Savant Syndrome and was a consultant for Rain Man. Not only do I have high functioning ASD, but Dr. Treffert lived and practiced medicine in my hometown, Fond du Lac, WI.
This pops up on my feed: "This could be interesting, but there's no way I could watch the full 41 minutes of it"
41 minutes and 21 seconds later: "Why is this video only 41 minutes long? I want more!" :D
I agree
They got ya 🤣🤣🤣
I wish he talked about Jolie's character too. We could learn about sociopathy a bit..
IT WAS HOW LONG!!!
So accurate, the way he speak and elaborate things is soooooo interesting
"I'm sorry Mr Kent, all the journalism classes are filled. However we have an opening in our psychiatry course...."
💀
Read my mind
YES, thank you! Very apt. :D
What I love about The Joker movie is that it really humanizes him, and shows how messed up/ under funded mental health programs are.
This was a great video! I love the series but this is my favorite so far. When I was younger I struggled with OCD, it was never diagnosed as no one believed me. However, I believe it actually helped me get through school entirely as my method of 'self soothing' was spelling out entire sentences in my head before and after they were said by myself or others. The spelling itself didn't bother me but the amount of time I wasted really got to me. I've also had issues with repeating actions to make a number that just feels better, such as an even number or groups of 3 or 5. I know it sounds stupid to someone that never dealt with it but it's just some people's reality and we deal with it in whatever way we can. Thank you for anyone that took the time to read this, even though it probably won't get you anywhere.
He was so right about teenagers opening up more with no direct eyecontact. All the deep and meaningful conversations I have with my parents happen in the car or walking where were not making constant eye contact.
So true, me too
Yeah me too
my parents sit me down and expect me to spill everything but i tell everything to my friends out of nowhere
I could connect with my brother when we were driving and that was something I never expected to happen before! Totally agree with you here.
Relatable
I used to drink a lot and get really loud and embarrassing at parties before I realized I had intense social anxiety. People didn't believe me because I seemed like a party animal, but I was really just manic and got drunk to cope
Bro... did you just describe me 💀💀 I'm shook
my life
In social situations I either dissociate or get super manic and talk and move around wayyy too much
Yea me too social anxiety disorder
Yeah and then you end up puking everytime trying to numb yourself so you aren't so anxious
Thank you for empowering us to help ourselves & others.
I have gone through a prolonged period of both mental and physical abuse and what you're saying is true. there is an anger inside, but it isn't something I think about on a daily basis, it just shows itself in my dreams. I have nightmares about it, the nightmares always end with me killing the people who hurt me in the past or me dying.
I thankfully don't have these dreams as much any more cause they really had a bad impact on my already bad sleep. so I didn't just have insomnia, I also had nightmares almost every night which woke me up and held me awake the rest of the night. this ended with me being sent to a psych hospital cause I ended up in a sleep deprived psychosis.
I had one of these nightmares this night and the one before was about 2 weeks prior. and it generally goes 2-5 weeks between nightmares so it isn't an issue anymore but I still go to therapy for other issues
This guy looks like he's actually gonna be on the cover of GQ
bro💕
Or on the cover of a magic magazine
He looks like Clark Kent
Lol right between this guy and Erik singer I’m beginning to think they choose gigachads on purpose
@@dardoura Yesssss!! 🥰 I was hoping someone would make this exact comment!!🤓
"Mental illness is a part of who they are, it doesn't define them." It is so refreshing to hear that. Not everything with mental illness is crazy and non functional or on a ton of meds. Loved these breakdowns!
Erm, The Joker does not correctly illustrate true mental illness...
But some of us are... and that’s okay
whats wrong with being non functional????
edit: thats literally what my disorder causes those with it to be
Accept most people seem to choose to define themselves according to their mental disorders
There's one flaw to that statement
Pretty sure a psychopath is both who they are and it defines who they are
You can tell this man is a thinker. I feel like he is presenting information that is textbook but doesn't necessarily only rely on that and really takes what is presented to him on a case by case basis. I can say as someone with BPD that he really nailed it in terms of descriptions of inner thoughts. The more I research the more I find out that a lot of these illness' fall in the "spectrum" even though that they are not painfully presented as such. I would really like to see a film that goes after dealing with mental illness' concurently. I am starting to learn that there are tendencies that I have that lend itself to one diagnosis compared to another. I feel like that is something that they're really missing, to help show that this individual is not only dealing with what seems like one issue but a whole circus of problems.
Thank you so much for sharing your life saving advice . God bless you 🙏
The joker literally hallucinated a whole relationship w his neighbor
Thank you. I don't think he watched the movie 🍿 just the clip.
That would have been much more interesting for him to talk about
Came here to say this!
Every happy or comforting moment he had was a hallucination or a delusion.
Yeah...doesnt seem like he even watched it...
the joker hallucinated an entire relationship with his neighbour,,,,,,,
I think he was specifically talking about that one scene
Also with murrey on the start of the movie
Im a health and social care level 3 student. Cant analyse him properly, but he is displaying both neurotic and psychotic symptons. Plus psychopaths have no or significantly reduced emotional responses, hes the opposite, hes extremely reactive such as the scenewhere he absoloutly brutalises the man who sold him the gun in his ao
apartment then jokes with and kisses the nice guy with dwarfism. Hes got some kind of mania though thats for sure
Yeah when the dude was speaking about delusions and hallucinations and that the Joker does have that, I questioned if this person has seen the movie, or just looking at one scene. Because the Joker has multiple delusions.
@@TheOriginal_Unaleska He is just analysing the scene
I love his explanation of autism vs savant syndrome. If more people just understood these basic traits, it would go a long way to neurotypical/neurodivergent harmony!
BoJack Horseman is so good with stuff like that. Really one of the best series that came out relatively recently.
The intensity with which I related to the adherence to a routine outlined in Rain Man... makes me wonder. I don't require it, definitely not to the point the man seems to, but I do appreciate it probably more than others would. To me, it was always a means of comfort. I know what is going to happen, I don't have to deal with (many) new variables. It's probably why I keep watching the same content over and over or visit the same places and eat the same foods. I handle changes to my routine pretty well unless they are unexpected or pushing me into something I really dislike.
I absolutely love how passionate he is when he talks about how people correlate violence and mental health issues. My brother is schizophrenic, and while I understand why people associate that with dangerous behavior, it still saddens me greatly.
I guess it is because you cannot evaluate a person who shows unusual behaviour. It would trigger your fear to get hurt.
I have a brother who is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and he definitly was dangerous. He tried to kil my mum several times, attacked my dad , set fire to their car, attacked several women, trowed bricks through al my windows , etc.
He is 57 years old now and the last 10 years he is much more calm and a lot less aggresive. But i have a friend who has 2 sisters with the same diagnosis who are not aggresive at all.
My mother has it, it's not easy growing up with a parent who other people consider a dangerous nutjob. My mother is the literal sweetest person in the entire universe.
That's the hard thing about mental illness is that its different in every person.
@@gazepskotzs4 He was paranoid. That's why it's known as paranoid schizophrenia.
These are honestly the only GQ videos I like
Theirs are the best ones. Vanity fair tries, bless their hearts.
Same
They make other videos?
Yes
Agreed
as someone with mental illnesses and psychosis I love this dude everything he saying is so respectful and how things actually are
I watched girl Interrupt, which was really hard because I analyzed the movie on an emotional, empathetic level (this was before i started a psychology class). Now i know much more about mental health, and I can watch tv shows, videos, and movies on an informational and educational level and distinguish the good and bad representations of mental health.
This guy looks like he's about to release a toxic crazy gas on Gotham city.
He looks more like the type to make webs any size and catch thieves just like flies.
@@therandom1315 oh yea! Iron Man!
I am so glad that I am not the only one who thought this, thank you!
"You look like a man who takes himself too seriously. You want my opinion? You need to lighten up."
He looks like a certain doctor I know…
"when am i gonna see a depiction of someone with mental illness that's not going to make me feel like im gonna turn into a serial killer?" THAT part. That's the shift we need to do with mental health in the film industry.
Would anybody watch a film about a mildly depressed person with anger problems who never does anything dramatic though lol?
@@yehldyehld yes actually people will watch just about anything as long as the story is interesting.
@@yehldyehld as long as there are people that can relate there are people who will watch
@Man with hair I don’t get it, why would I make it?
@Man with hair I didn’t say that lol
Coming in two years late, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard someone articulate what BPD is and I needed that, thanks.
As someone with BPD and struggles with it every second, it’s cool to hear someone talk about it.
this guy looks like that old man on film 'up' but younger version
WAIT A MINUTE
He kinda looks like neil cicierega
@@snazztacular HE DOES LOOK LIKE NEIL CICIEREAGA
*This the most accurate so far 💀
Looks like a middle aged Tom Holland
so THIS is the therapist in those wattpad stories.
YES
i love you
Silver linings playbook is one of my favorite movies- I think that’s because I relate to both the characters (1 with bipolar, 1 seems to me has some bpd traits) I feel my personality is kinda a mesh between the two of them, & also because they’re still very likable! They’re portrayed as just real regular people ; not some monsters .. which was so refreshing! While I like the movie Girl Interrupted & I know it’s based on some real life events, for me it’s also frustrating.. I just felt in many ways it oversimplified what it’s like to live with BPD.
Thank you for these videos , I really enjoy them & really appreciate you making the distinctions between what’s factual & what’s just movies & dramatization. Unfortunately, many people don’t realize what they see in these movies isn’t exactly real life
Great commentary! I didn’t realize the 11th Doctor was also a real doctor (psychiatrist)! Seriously, this guy looks so much like him down to his hairstyle and facial features.
“The joker doesn’t have delusions or hallucinations, he’s of a sound mind.”
Joker: **Hallucinates half the movie**
I guess he didn't see the whole movie.
Exactlyyy, he completely hallucinated being with that girl after he couldn’t get his meds anymore
I think he meant that Arthur wasn't having delusions when he shot Murrray so he was of sound mind at that particular moment
Hey bud, start reading titles of the videos you watch
@@Cam-ej1cu yea that’s called withdrawal 😂
This psychiastrist looks like a grown up Tom Holland, and I'm here for it.
literally what I thought oh my god
When I saw the thumbnail I literally thought it was tom holland for a second lol
THATS WHY HE LOOKS BRITISH OMG
He also reminds me of Scarecrow in Batman Begins.
Omg
BoJack Horseman in general is such a masterfully crafted show. Funny, deep, insightful, melancholic, tragic - all with some silly animal characters.
Yes it's wacky, but the serious and dark moments hit so much harder. And the show goes to really dark places.
Give it a shot. I checked it out one night on a whim, not expecting anything but some goofy animated show and ended up discovering one of my all-time favorite pieces of media.
An amazing mental health portrayal that really gave me comfort with my anxiety disorder was Randall Pearson's battle with anxiety in 'This is us'. Sterling K Browns acting is so beautiful. It healed a lot of my anger and frustration towards myself and my panic attacks.
Wasn’t the Joker hallucinating that girl next door as his girlfriend therefore, he does have psychosis?
Hallucinations are not necessarily tied to psychosis
@@Mrmonkey1488 Hallucinations are usually tied to deep depression, insomnia, or Schizophrenia.
It’s hard to kind of piece together but he was having a delusion of being with the girl in his apartment building, not so much hallucinating. Being that it is a movie and that there is some visual components that if not unaddressed can be confusing (think a beautiful mind breakdown). We see something play out that happened in the movie, but this doesn’t mean he saw these hallucinations, we just know that he believed he was in a relationship when he actually wasn’t.
This guy doesn't exactly know joker.
He speaks of genetics, but Arthur is adopted.
Haven't seen the movie, but, if the girl didn't exist then yes, it would be a hallucination and could possibly be a sign of psychosis. If the girl did exist and the part in his head was their relationship, then that would be a delusion. Hallucinations involve the perception of stimulus that don't actually exist (in simple terms) whereas delusions are more so a twisted perception of reality. Neither of which are exclusively indicative of psychosis, but are possible symptoms of it.
