Check out my reaction to Bojack Horseman: • DOCTOR REACTS TO BOJAC...
It's a Sin reviews: • DOCTOR REACTS TO IT'S ...
This Doctor Reacts video is on the new Bridgerton spin-off called Queen Charlotte. This captured my interest because it gives us a chance to look into the very real mental health problems suffered by her husband, King George. Some say he had bipolar. Others have said it was a much rare condition called porphyria. This video looks at clips from episodes 1 and 2 covering topics like anxiety, panic, cognitive behavioural therapy, mentalising, hysteria and more.
Let me know what you think.

"There are worse fates than marrying the king of England. " Tell that to Anne Bolyn.
and Katherine Howard
I loved this!! Please watch more of the series, the “doctor” that treated George used extremely questionable methods
Plenty more to come ;)
@@DoctorElliottCarthy The Madness of King George deals with this as well. Consider reviewing it if you have the time.
Most doctors at the time used what we would consider questionable methods. Willis used what was common to treat mental illness at the time, including restraints to break the patient's will, and bleeding and cupping to draw out the "unhealthy" blood, as well as purgatives and empties, but he also had the reputation of being kinder than other doctors and experimented with reinforcement to tey to control the King's behavior
I'm pretty sure the real life doctor also gave him arsenic (or a different poison) everyday so they were definitely questionable
OMG finally a certified psychiatrist reacts to the series!! I'm more invested in what is wrong with George because obviously, back then, there was no way to have a definitive diagnosis about his condition.
Historically then you will be disappointed because there was nothing wrong with him until far into his reign. He had a physical illness from what I remember and developed a mental health issues after that. He has 2 episodes, one after the illness, his baby son died then, a few years after that it happened again and the prince of Wales was about to be made regent but he recovered. Finally his favourite youngest daughter died and he never came out of that psychosis, eventually it was mixed with dementia and he never regained his senses again. All he wanted was to see his family but he was kept away from them.
@@rose080891 well obviously with every illnesses, there ought to be some explanation. Things don't happen without reasons. Of course his ilnesses didn't occur naturally. All i'm saying is it is fascinating to know how his illnesses developed and progressed, stemming from all sorts of tragedies happening in his life.
For me, as a person with bipolar and social anxiety, I really saw both in HM King George III. But this is just my very personel opinion. I really enjoyed watching "Queen Charlotte" and look very forward to maybe more seasons.
pretty sure it was meant as a limited series...but maybe some storylines will continue into the main Bridgeton series
Where are you seeing bi-polar characteristics?? I'm not seeing a flow of highs and lows. It seems like he only experiences mania and it's triggered by stress and then he goes into a catatonic state. 🤔 I'm bi-polar and I can't trigger or stop my depressive or manic state unless I'm on medication and then they are still very mild.
@@pryncessdi9358 Someone in the show said he has times where he is depressed and I think he was having a depressive episode before his meeting with Parliament. He tore up his mother's letter without reading it , wasn't able to get out of the carriage, and went home and hid under the bed. Yes, he was experiencing anxiety but there was also despair .
@@pryncessdi9358 I see it! When he was shouting to the sky naked. I suffer from bipolar I disorder and when I go into a state of psychosis I tend to believe I have a serious connection with God and nature beyond description. I’ve even gotten naked during inappropriate circumstances. I also tend to write and draw a lot as I excessively speak about my running thoughts. I thought it was bipolar too when I first watched the show
I like that they left him undiagnosed. People can relate to him more.
I would definitely love to see you comment on the barbaric methods the doctor used to “treat” George. I know that there was very little understanding of mental illness back then, and questionable methods were usually applied for treatment, but it was still so painful to watch
His mother mentioned to Lady Danbury that she and George was abused by his grandfather the King after his father died😢 I wonder did that cause him mental damage by him being so young?
George was a hardworking dedicated man. Back then it wasnt like the crown, he had power (although of course limited), he did rule and he directed what the government did. He was not ill until far into his reign. It wasnt a matter of hiding it, it could not be hidden so that is how we know when it kicked off. He had to meet ministers nearly every day and if he did not there would be talk. He had a physical illness, he recovered but thats when his mental illness was noticed. There are at least 3 recored episodes, after his illness, he recovered after a few months, a second episode in which the regency bill was about to be passed and he recovered and then he lost his favourite daughter and never recovered his sense again. Dementia is suspected of being added to his illness as time wore on.
I furiously googled “bipolar without medication” when I was watching the series, as I cannot fathom how serious mental illnesses were dealt with back then - before the inevitable trip to Bedlam of course.
I look forward to you analysis of episode 4 and wonder if it gave you further insight into what illness the producers have decided the King was suffering with.
It's like they took elements of autism, schizophrenia, bipolar I, and social anxiety and meshed it all together to serve the plot.
Edit: and a neurological condition yes, as seen with the tremors
Just wait for the next videos when I look at the rest of the season (spoiler alert, you might be on to something)
Exactly!…and maybe some neurological issues because of it🤔
I saw an interview with the actor who plays George and he commented that there was a conscious decision to “not diagnose” George, so my guess is they just applied a variety of symptoms to serve that.
And mixed with Parkinson as well with the hand tremors?
Where are you getting autism from? That’s quite a reach. Esp when everything we saw comfortably slots into bipolar, schizophrenia or schizoaffective dusorder.
Obviously anxiety disorders esp panic attacks would be a natural consequence in circumstances where showing any infirmity in public while having no direct heirs could lead to a power grab civil war.
the later episodes are heartbreaking man
Don’t swoon for George, Dr. Carthy ! You can’t fall in love with a patient!
Excellent as always! Though some viewers might have thought the portrait of Charles II was meant to be the Stuart King of England and Scotland. It was Carlos II the last Habsburg King of Spain whose father was his mother’s uncle.
I would like to see your reaction to the doctor's "treatments" later in the show.
I'll be doing another couple of videos on the season as there is so much to talk about
They were great.
Damn! This is the smartest reaction I've ever seen to ANYTHING. I thought the doctor was simply going to tell us whether or not Corey's characterization of porphyria (?) was on point. 😆 Instead, this video is jam-packed with loads of up-to-date and contextualized, scientific information. Excellent! I'm going to watch it again now. 😉
This series is heartbreaking. I know at the time people spoke ill of KG because little was known about mental illness and accepting anything out of the "norm" was non-existent. But I'm actually annoyed that it still happens in modern times. I'm calling you out Lin-Manuel.
On an unrelated note, definitely watch the two seasons of Bridgerton. A plethora of eye candy.
What happened with Lin-Manuel?
@@taylorw7395 I'm referring to how King George is portrayed in Hamilton. Basically making a mockery of his illness.
I love how at 9:54 you weren’t able to continuing discussing because of how attractive he is 😂 BECAUSE SAME! He gets more & more handsome & charming as you continue ❤Really interesting video - excited to watch more of your reactions + get more of an idea on his mental health.
Loved the analysis! Excited to see your opinion on further episodes. Btw, the Arrested Development clip, chef's kiss!
I really appreciate all the medical add-ons you give! It's so fascinating! Thanks a lot!
Loved this.😍 Hope you comment on the next episodes too, as it gets more explicit with more symptoms and experimental treatments that probably were real at some point in time.. 😒
In real life, Queen Charlotte and King George didn't let their daughters marry off until their 30s/ 40s. Charlotte didn't want them to be constantly pregnancy. George saw some of his sisters married off to less-than-nice people.
Love Bridgerton, love mental health discussion, love history, ❤️ the plants in the background.
Great channel and content!
I was waiting for this reaction video! Thank you.
Great video. Hope you'll make more on these series. Very much would like to see your opinion on the 'treatment' methods they used.
Yay, I am excited to see you do this show! And please do Bridgerton next. There is quite a bit of stuff to talk about that would be interesting to hear your thoughts on!
Ooo I was looking for something like this. I’d love to learn about how medical ethics developed. There is so much to talk about in this series.
Well done. I was doing the thing as I was watching Queen Charlotte for the 3rd time.
I loved this.
A word to medical personnel breaking the news of a patient’s death to a loved one.
My husband suffered a heart attack while I was away visiting friends, so I got news that they were working on him over the phone.
When I finally got the update call, the doctor started w/a listing of what had occurred. When I realized that was what he was doing, I cut him off with, “Is he alive???”
While his “I’m sorry, no, he did not survive” was devastating, it was better to hear the truth quickly than continue to be tortured by not knowing while
listening to a procedural rundown.
I’m not angry at the doctor for trying to soften the blow. Just presenting some lived experience for consideration.
🤓
Slight tangent for a PSA: If you’ve survived one heart attack, take your d@mn meds. If you don’t like the way they make you feel, keep taking them until you see your doctor. If you don’t like your doctor’s response, keeping taking the d@mn things until you find one who will listen to you. My husband’s last words [or at least what I was told by a good samaritan on the scene]? “I guess I should have taken my meds.” Don’t force your life partner to feel preventable anger/betrayal/abandonment in addition to grieving losing you. It has been 18 months since he died, and I’m just now starting to be able to mourn him. Don’t do that to your loved one.
💔❤️
I would be so angry at my spouse also now I will remember to take my meds ty😊
The Q-word is QUIET HAHAHA. I say it to annoy my colleagues when I'm bored at work.
So excited to hear an actual psychiatrist's opinion.
Love your plants 🪴 😍
Can't wait for your Bridgerton season 1 and 2 reaction
Could you please do an episode on the birth-related risk factors? My son had a horrific birth and I’ve always wondered how it may have influenced his low IQ and behavioural issues.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the rest of the season because I was confused by King George's mental health symptoms.
Quiet! A word also never used in a veterinary ER:)
SHHHHHHHH!
As a PSY student I found this show and your video extremely interesting, thank you!
I hope you keep watching this because there's so much in it.
The minute the show came out I could not wait to see your reaction 😭
I naively thought I could cover all the main clips in one video but how wrong I was
I know this is just a show, but it Mae me exstreamly emotional. As a pretty mentally ill person, I've never truly taken to time to consider that I will live a long time with this metal illness. I guess I always assumed I would K*ll myself before I got old because, the thought of living like this for such a long time, is terrifying. It's so scary to know this will always be in me, lurking. No matter what meds and therapist visits, there is no actual cure.
Eliott, I enjoyed your analysis and look forward to more as the story unfolds. I'd like to pose an alternative diagnosis which could explain all of George III's symptoms. He was born prematurely and most likely in his time that was associated with some hypoxia at/after birth which could have caused mesial temporal lobe sclerosis and TLE. TLE could explain his unilateral tremors, his affective instability of the bipolar type, and his psychosis. While I'd not disregard either BD or AIP completely, it would be nice to have a unifying diagnosis. Also, his mood changes occur rather quickly. While possible, it decreases the likelihood of BD in my mind. We'll never know, of course, but speculation is interesting.
My daughter has Bipolar Type 2. Without medication she cycles between a deep depression and extreme anxiety and periods of OK so George's behavior is familiar to me. Shes had an episode of disassociation that got her hospitalized for a week. She now has a great tream to help her (therapist and psychiatrist-who is leaving the practice).
Yesssssss please!! I cannot wait until you reach further within this series! You are in for a ride.
That was very interesting!
The Q word is quiet! Lol. There is also the S word and that the also brings chaos after saying it. lol
You should start Bridgerton with season one. For the plot. 😏
I have had to tell so many people that their loved one has died. It never gets easier. 🚑. The Q word being bad luck is TOTALLY LEGIT!
Hey Dr Elliott, you mention in this video that catharsis can help temporarily with emotional release but other methods are probably better. What examples can you give of emotional release strategies or ways of identifying the emotion underneath the stress?
I want Shonda Rhimes to do a series on Tudor England. The Tudors walked so Shondaland could fly!
I replayed 13:54 maybe 10 times! It sounded like percussive, nonsense scatting because so many letters in the words "some people can become" disappeared😂
Love this. Love the breakdown, but would add that it is *usually* xx or xy
What about Epilepsy?: focal seizures with hallucinations/delusions related to it. And in some cases it can be accompanied by compulsive writing/drawing.
I guessed 'Qunt' for the 'Q' guessing game.
This show really got to me. Both my patents were alcoholics. Im sure both had undiagnosed depression, ive had severe depression myself. Thanks to medication and therapy im much better.
My daughter has high functioning autism, PTSD from an auto accident and she was finally diagnosed with Bipolar Type II. She has responded well to medication (Vrylar) and therapy. And yes, as a caretaker you do tend to devote yourself to their welfare to the exclusion of all other things.
Are you going to be doing a video on "Gary and His Demons" now that season has been released?
In DBT there is a check if the thoughts and feelings being experienced fit the facts of a given adversity (A). Once again, thoughts about a given 'A' may or may not be factually true. If you suspect, or infer that another person is feeling/thinking 'X' about you - this could well be true. Thoughts are not facts if they stem through the lens of the 10 most common cognitive distortions (Overpersonalisation, Magnification/Minimisation, generalisation etc). This is it seems what you are referring to. I hope.
i don't know if you'd ever be willing to do musicals, but i would absolutely love if you reacted to some songs from falsettos :)
And Next to Normal
@@susanlevitt4873 oh for sure!!
every time i hear someone say “the q-word” i just think “queer” but i’m assuming that’s not what you were referring to 🤣
hahaha
Same 🫶🫶
He was referring to the word quiet. Lmao.
The Q word... Scrubs did an episode on that lol.
13 kids is a lot.... I am one of ten... And unpacking the internalising if saying 'one of ten', rather than ' my parents have 10 children' or 'I have 9 direct blood siblings' lol
OH MY GOD THANK YOUUU
for the plot 🤔
it's not just XX, and XY, yes those are the most common but not the only set of sex chromosomal sequences.
Quiet is the Q word.😊
Why is there a tendency amongst men throughout history to look down on women and want to control them? This is a universal phenomenon - what causes it? What causes a person to repeat the trauma on others that have traumatised them? Why don't they see how wrong it is and break the cycle?
I can answer this question from my perspective, but I only represent myself and anyone that feels they relate to my experience. First of all, I'd like to tell you thst it is not a tendency amongst men, but a tendency amongst humans towards people that hold less power than you do. I myself am a woman that has been abusive, and I myself have been abused by both my parents, a woman and a man.
What causes this phenomenon?
I would speculate that the cause is the power imbalance that strips the abuser of consequences, and we all are prone to do worse things when we don't face consequences for them.
What causes a person to repeat the trauma they have experienced themselves?
Well there are a lot of factors that factor into this, and I want to repeat that I speak for myself here. For me it is just how I learned to cope with the state of being a victim of something, I never learned an alternative way of resolving conflict. There was a point where I just felt an awareness that what is happening to me, is not fair, and I developed the desire to create my own balance by acting out in exactly the ways I considered deserving of the punches I received. It gave me a sense of control to what I chose for myself, my mental state took me to a place where I thought people can beat me all they want, it will not stop me from throwing stuff and breaking objects, because they can beat me unconscious, they will never break my mind. In that moment it was an empowering reaction, because to my core, I was rejecting the idea that a person deserves abuse because other people felt like abusing you. A lot of victims of abuse tend to internalize this, and think that they were deserving of abuse, and they for a lifetime struggle to stand up for themselves, and with their selfworth.
For me the reaction I had, to push back and fight back with whatever I could was necessary for my mind, it was the only control I ever got over what happens to me. So the flipside came when I got into a relationship and my boyfriend at the time had betrayed me and the feeling of being betrayed by someone you love, was all too familiar to me. I acted out in the same ways I have learned to survive, and looking back at that hurts a lot, because he didn't deserved that, and I was just so despreate to keep the one person I felt actually loved me, in my life. What else did I have? It took me years to see a therapist and actually discuss this, and actively work on this. I was 23 when my therapist taught me how to actually make an apology, I never got an apology and didn't know how to make one without implying the person is at fault for feeling hurt. I never understood the purpose of an apology beyond the aspect that I have to accept I'm in the wrong, it's also about letting other people know that they don't deserve the pain you caused and that maybe this pain was not your intent. She also taught me to step away if I ever feel the urge to fight back physically, since my mind has a lower threshhold to become violent, due to years of abuse, most people hesitate to cross over and get in a physical fight, but for me it's a reaction that kept me going for years. It is generally difficult to know the difference between when someone is attacking you or of someone accidently didn't consider how this could hurt you.
So I still have a tendency to be verbally abusive, because sometimes the words just escape my mouth before I could properly consider them, and I've had to apologise for that before, and I'm working on this and communicating this when it happens. By now I have to say though, while I am very aware of my behaviour, most people are not. I had more than one boyfriend critisize my tone while they themselves were quick to excuse their own verbal abuse and tone. Abuse is the entitlement to someone elses pain. We're never entitled to that.
Sorry for the long response, but if you have been abused and are unsure how it came to be, I hope I could provide a little bit of closure for you.
Heyyy what’s the Q word??? It went over my head🤷🏽♀️
Quiet
I love this movie
The Q word is quiet just in case anyone was wondering
The really Queen had 15. Her two youngest died before the were 4.
For the plot, obviously
I was born prematurely and have ADHD? Are these related at all?
hahaha you said superstitious and first thing I thought was "The Q Word" ...6 years in the OR
"people will talk" *cough cough Meghan cough*
I'm not a psychologist but I can verify that catharcism is a healer. It's not pleasant but self-inflicted introspection on pain of death is a dream. But then again, APD over here.
Could you pretty please make a video where you discuss in length how to deliver bad news? Sounds like something very useful and insightful for everyone tbh
Dr. E, I have a weakness for eyes and you have some gorgeous eyes!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I have to say, Bridgerton have very good plots… both seasons 😂
This season is the thinking man’s season because we already know they eventually fell in love. Every major character is a widow and one of them is half-widow which is it’s own type of grief. About the terror of slowly losing your mind. About how we age changes our value systems..About how and why distant mothers come to be that way. About the tragedy of gay love in that era. And about race and the burdens placed on the “first” to d sacrifice self for the group. AND it had sex scenes.
I know what the 'q' word is. You were in trouble if anyone said it on shift!
Not relevant...but god damn Jessica Walters, you are missed.
"You son of a-" Her face, the way she throws the purse ready to throw hands. Just...acting at it's peak.
Quiet …. 😂
🥰😘🥴
In the name of god, will someone please tell me what the q word is????
Quarantine? Quinine? What??!!
Quiet
Qovid
The way you keep mixing in clips from other shows is so confusing
I feel like you don’t use lip balm just to irritate me. Either that or drink more water
Love you review was wondering if you ever review a film call girl.inteterupted
For the plot obviously 🫶👑💜🏳️🌈
I watched a previous vid of yours, but I don’t remember which one 😅 But your personality is so memorable! Love the vids, hope to see more 😊
