    Eric’s analysis on Joe Goldberg in You was actually insightful. “Serial killers can have relationships with other people but ultimately it’s about them and what they can get out of it.” Joe was always trying to find someone to fill that hole of abandonment placed by his mother.

    I'm glad he said Anakin was not a psychopath. I think his explanation that he has more BPD symptoms makes much more sense. Part of the reason Anakin even turned to the dark side is because he had this love for padme which made him do anything he could to make sure his vision of her death didn't come true. His fear blinded him so much that he essentially did the opposite of his goal which was that he ended up having some responsibility in her death.

    Anakin being borderline makes sense. He's not really cold and unfeeling (if anything he's overly passionate). He's a control freak that can't fix his world, and the more he tries the worse things get, which just digs him deeper into crossing moral boundaries. That's the big shift in the Star Wars series prequels. Vader is revealed to be just a tragic henchman, who has resigned himself to doing evil because he feels trapped by his own predicament.

    I grew up with a psychopath brother. Hard to explain to people. Videos like these give me some comfort, because this man explains what a psychopath is and that a psychopath does not form a bond unless there is something to gain. The bond is never really there. Manipulation is everywhere around the corner. For my brother, it became a game. He played with people's trust and then hurt them, either physically or mentally. There is something completely unpredictable about it, because his actions were logical only for him.

You make yourself vulnerable and an easy target, because people thing they understand you and that they’re always a step ahead. So many times people with personality disorders are mirrors of their surrounding and can’t regulate emotions OTHERS have projected on to them. But somehow it always gets turned around to you being the toxic one, the hostile one, the aggressive one. Because you have the diagnosis.

We’re human just like everyone else, and we’re a million times more likely to be a threat to ourselves than to another soul.

Late in the series, as his relationships progressed (particularly with Rita and his sister), I started wondering if it was his adoptive father who really made Dex a serial killer by training him for murder instead of getting him treatment for his obvious PTSD.

    I always loved the Clone Wars series because it brought more context to who Anakin was and why he turned. The guy was a child they turned into the face/hope of an entire organization. By his teenage years his "peacekeeping" cult is leading a war and he's relied on by the Jedi and the Republic as one of their best commanders and the best pilot. He's leading tens of thousands of lives, training a padawan (who leaves because she doesn't agree with how the Jedi act anymore), and has to hide what's important to him everyday. All this while growing up and is still a young man. Makes him seem less like a sniveling brat and more like a man who breaks.

      Psychology in Seattle does a lot of fictional character analysis with more nuance and accuracy than a lot of these kinds of things have, usually with a deep dive on a single character. Just know the CZcams channel and the podcast are very different content wise. The show is more of a reaction channel to relationship-based reality television, the podcast is more academic in nature with fictional character and hot topic psychological analyses, episodes or even a series of episodes committed to exploring a single disorder in-depth, and listener Mail. There are also a few episodes that are miscellaneous entertainment and don’t have a particular appeal to psychology.

    In the books, Hannibal eventually seduces Clarice and they become lovers. This happens about the same time as the movie "Hannibal", which is sequel to the Silence of the Lambs. Chronologically the first part should actually be the Red Dragon (third in the film franchise), SotL being the second part and Hannibal being the closing chapter.

    I appreciate him talking about bipolar and explaining what it's really like vs what people think of when we say someone is bipolar. I have bipolar disorder and while I didn't get diagnosed until I was 15, I've experienced symptoms since childhood and it greatly affected both me and my family, who were stuck in a house with me and my unregulated emotions. While I don't generally take it personally when people use bipolar as an adjective for someone's behavior in a colloquial sense it still sucks how misunderstood bipolar disorder tends to be. I've spent hundreds of dollars on projects that ended up unfinished during manic episodes, and they've all been ones where I'm taking (prescribed) medication regularly and going to therapy appointments each month. Even when I'm aware of the fact that my behavior is being influenced by a manic episode it can be difficult to keep myself in check because when you're in that headspace, consequences don't really matter because you've got all this energy and drive and you have all these plans for the things you're going to do and everything's going to be great. Unfortunately you'll always come crashing back down to earth again after playing Icarus, and usually the higher you've soared during your mania, the lower you'll get during the depressive episode that will likely follow. I'm very blessed to have access to the treatments I need and to have family and friends who support me, but even with all of those things I still struggle with my symptoms at times. If I hadn't finally admitted that I wasn't okay and gotten the help I'd needed I probably wouldn't be here today, so hearing my illness be explained for people who may not be familiar with what it really is like is very validating.

    It’s refreshing to hear someone educated and well-spoken speak about mental illness and not just spout common cliches.
    Thank you, Doctor and GQ, for this show.
