This is a Doctor TRAVELS video (is that a thing?). I'm in Rome. I love mental health, I love medical history and I love travel and I'm combining these as I look into an apparent brain disease called Syndrome K that might have saved 100s of lives during the Second World War. But was it a real illness? Was it ethical? What were its symptoms?
Let me know what you think.

Those doctors vowed to save lives and, by Jove, they did!
As a Jew who lost all but one relative in the camps, in the last 3 days of the war.. these story’s amaze and touch me. I’d never heard this one before. Thank you! Love your channel.
I am sorry for lost ❤️ (from complete stranger on the internet)
I loved learning about this!
I left this comment on an old video about adhd, but wanted to leave it on your latest just in case you might be more likely to see it:
I’m a woman that was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD when I was 36. I got my complex ptsd diagnosis a decade earlier and only pursued adhd diagnosis after a decade of trauma therapy successfully addressed my ptsd symptoms but didn’t address my start/finish difficulties (among many other symptoms), and had significant improvement with stimulant medications. After the ADHD diagnosis, I also landed on a co-morbid PMDD diagnosis, which explains A LOT about the cyclical issues I had pre-medication AND post medication (as ADHD meds aren’t as affective in the luteal phase). Now that attempts to treat and track all of that is underway, I’m realizing that I’m also a “high functioning”/high-masking autistic woman, and I can track those symptoms back to childhood, now that I know what to look for thanks to more attention being paid to how autism presents in women. I’m about to turn 40, and I wish there was more known about all of these things and how they present in girls back in the 80s & 90s, as the trajectory of my life would have been much different and I’d be suffering less now as an adult.
Thank you for your channel and content.
I’d love to see you make a video about PMDD and pre-menstrual exacerbation of existing disorders.
This is a significantly underrepresented, understudied, and underrated influence that affects so many women trying to untangle psychiatric and hormonal entanglements and issues, which results in a lot of women losing decade of their lives to dysfunction.
What an amazing survival story. 🤩
I’d love to see this dramatised in film!
I love the Syndrome K story! There's a really good Stuff You Should Know episode (podcast) if people want to hear more of the background. So cool that you got to visit the actual location and walk through the history
What brave, brilliant doctors!
wow, never heard of that. And I love it. Brillant!
Thank you. I'm glad I learned about this today.
I love this story, thanks for sharing! And cool to see the actual hospital where it took place. Seems like you had a great trip!
I'm italian and I didn't know about this, thanks!
Hope u enjoy your holiday!
Fascinating
what a smart and amazing plan!
Those doctors are heroes
When I saw the title, I thought you were going to talk about some malicious disease that ravaged the fascist police or military
