This story always makes me think 🤔 I am very thankful that my kids are the awesome human beings that they are and I gave them enough hugs and discipline and they have mental health treatments in place and that all that and more causes me to be fortunate enough to have well rounded kids. I got lucky,because this is so sad.
I just wanted to tell you I bought your book on my kindle-I could not put it down! I was surprised by your young life and college years ( don’t want to spoil it for others). I really read it into the early hours and enjoyed it VERY much. Thank you…I am a subscriber 😀
It’s worrying that he had antidepressants at such a young age? But as a parent I was reliant on medical profession,if they said it was appropriate think I’d go long with it, they wouldn’t know that it’s out of the ordinary as you do. Parents who feel they may have passed on a condition feel guilt more than anything I would think? To do that kinda crime he must have been incredibly disturbed! How often do you think over medicalisation is responsible for cases like this?
Hi Dr. Das. This video is a good example of personality disorders explained for the teen yrs. Will be watching your new videos as well as the old ones too. Thanks for covering these cases that we otherwise might not hear on other channels. Thanks sincerely from S.C., peace and love to you and your family , love, Janine Smiley😀🙂😎😍🤩✌👍👟👡👞👠📿💄👑👒💎💍🍉🍊🍅🍇🌽🍍🍌🆒️☕☕🥧🍩🍪🎂🍫🍧🍨🍦
I’m a gen-xer and I cannot understand why drs prescribe meds like adderrol for attn deficit. Is anyone allowed to b slow or just uninterested these days or simply not all that smart? I get that u wanna b the best u can b but at what cost? What are the long term effects to the brain of these stimulants? In my day anyone that cdnt sit still or cdnt concentrate just wasn’t the best student and it wasn’t ideal but parents didn’t wanna run to get their kids on meds. … so nowadays there’s a name for everything and drs seem to think meds are necessary. It’s a scary thing when u hv addiction in the family to think u may need to b on meds to function
Is it possible that the mother here might have been PROJECTING some of her mental illness on this kid, that MAYBE he wasn't really clinically depressed & needing to be put on antidepressants at age 10. Maybe he was just a quiet, introspective kid. I had a wonderful psychiatrist discharge me from care once who told me, "There's nothing wrong with you. If anything, you are too keenly in tune with reality, & it makes you sad." And maybe he didn't have ADD or need to be put on Adderall. Maybe he just wasn't challenged enough & was bored & acting out, & not the "perfect" son that his older brother apparently was. I developed hypothyroidism as a result of some of the psych meds I was prescribed. Could this have been the case with him too? Psych meds have so many side effects, some of them quite serious, like diabetes, which can lead to heart disease, & can shave YEARS of your life. I understand if they are genuinely HELPING. I'd take a shorter life with a higher QUALITY of life over a prolonged life full of mental anguish any day of the week, but having been on SO MANY different psych meds, almost none of which helped me, I would advise ANYONE, especially a child, or the parents of a child, considering a course of medication for their mental health issues, to give, as you said, "talk therapy" an honest go, with everything they've got, for as long as their disorder is manageable. I would advise them that psych meds should be considered ONLY as a last resort, if therapy doesn't work & the condition is not manageable. Also things like diet & exercise should be looked at. Some hyperactive kids just eat WAY too much sugar! And they spend WAY too much time indoors on their phone, or gaming system. If they'd go outside, get some fresh air & sunshine, burn off some of that "kid" energy, maybe they wouldn't be so restless & fidgety, y'know? I've got a Jack Russell Terrier mix, & if I don't take him somewhere where he can RUN & JUMP & burn off some of his pent up energy, every single day, he's bouncing off the furniture, knocking s**t over, being a real brat. Yes, I know he's a dog, & that dogs & children aren't the same, physiologically, but you get my point. Maybe this kid shouldn't have been taking all those pills at such a young age. They change your brain chemistry. THAT'S what they do! And if there's nothing wrong with your brain chemistry, & you're taking a bunch of psych meds & hormones that change your brain chemistry, wouldn't you be changing it for the worse? Did his parents at least get a 2nd (or even 3rd) opinion before putting him on psych meds? I just feel he was overmedicated at too young an age, that he wasn't an outgoing, popular kid (which is OK!) & his parents, his mom in particular, wanted to "fix" him, when he didn't particularly need fixing. He just had a different personality than she wanted him to have, & between taking meds he didn't need, & her undermining his self-esteem by making him feel like there was something wrong with him, it really screwed him up. Obviously, right? Then you add the immense pressure of being a teenager, wanting your classmates to accept you, like you, think that you're cool, & the way that everything seems SO IMPORTANT at that age, like life or death...it just wasn't a good combination. All these factors sort of aligned to form the perfect storm. I'm not trying to victim-blame. I'm sure mom was acting with the best of intentions, & wasn't consciously aware that she might be projecting something onto her son that wasn't really there. And I'm not trying to excuse him from his actions. He hadn't had a psychotic break. He had a firm grip on reality. He was aware that what he was doing was wrong. And he showed zero remorse afterward. I think that the parents of young children should take this as a cautionary tale: Let your kid be who they are, let their personalities fully form, their bodies grow, before intervening with prescription meds that are going to alter their brain chemistry. Not every boy is going to be the captain of the football team & go to prom with the homecoming queen. Some of them will be quirky & socially awkward until they find their tribe, where they will be accepted, which is all any of us really want. Tragic, senseless story. A real shame. Great analysis, as always, Dr Das! Nice guns 💪🏼 too! Have you been working out? Hmmm...? 😉✌🏼
I would never have agreed to give any child of mine all those prescription drugs at such a young age. I feel the same way for myself as an adult. I took drugs to treat depression. They never really worked, but they did leave some adverse reaction to my health, which made me decide to stop using them altogether. I've personally been living with depression for at least 30 years, maybe more, so I'm familiar with the feelings involved. I have to tell you, Dr. Das, that I lost trust in psychiatrists and psychologists a long time ago. I had multiple negative experiences with several of them, which didn't bode well for the profession, to be honest. No offence to you ... you look to be a trustworthy professional, but at the end of the day, it's still one person's opinion that may well destroy another person's life.
In those interviews his clearly intelligent and also articulate and friendly. Other than his gigantic size (I think he was 6ft 9"!) he appears to be a nice, easy going (maybe bookish from the glasses) guy. Just another example of not judging a book by its cover, with hansome Ted Bundy being another example. Kemper was so good that a team of psychologists had also fallen for his charms. Showing that you never truly know another human, with the darkness often being very well hidden. Then you have someone like me. People cross the road when I walk into town. Security guards follow me around shops even when I have my children with me. Police pull me over while I'm driving and I've even had them stop me on foot before! I've been told (same with my younger brother) that I have scary eyes or look like I'm about to kill someone. So I get 'profiled' constantly due to my appearance/walk/eyes/I literally don't know what, but the real deal human predators roam free!
I find Edmund Kemper to be the most terrifying because he is so good at disarming people with his personality and mannerisms. Listening to his interviews and such, I would find myself occasionally thinking he sounded like a nice guy, before remembering what he's done. I would love to see Dr. Das do a video on him.
@@madalice5134 agreed! Watching his interviews you'd literally NEVER guess the depraved stuff that he was/is capable of. His sheer size (6'9" and 300+lb!) would also mean that probably 90% of the world's population would have zero chance of defending themselves at such a man mountain!
One of my daughters has ADHD and Autism. It was a major decision to allow her to be medicated with Ritalin as a child. She was diagnosed with the ADHD at aged 6 yrs. I didn’t like the idea of my 6 yr old being on drugs so for 2 years I tried to learn how to parent her opposed to my other children. At 8 yrs of age she was very disruptive, particularly in school and had been excluded from 2 schools! So we went down the drug route, I can honestly say that they changed her life! She’s an adult now and graduated from college with diplomas, distinctions and merits in IT. She’s still on medication for the ADHD, her autism is somewhat of a challenge. I don’t think I’d of agreed to my child being medicated at 6 with antidepressants and there is something worrying about a child that young being given them. Counselling and CBT may have been a better option. A lot of doctors are too eager to write a script for antidepressants instead of accessing other services. Changing direction from my younger daughter to my eldest daughter now, she is on mood stabilisers, antipsychotics, antidepressants and sleeping pills! She was in a very violent relationship and nearly died from the last beating, pancreas was split in half, many other injuries too numerous for a comment. This was in 2018, my question is why the hell is she on these meds still and they’ve been added to! The weirdest part is finding out all and I mean all, her friends and associates are on the same meds! She didn’t meet these people in hospital etc; they all live within a minuets walk from her! When I spoke to my own GP, saying I was concerned about my daughter, he offered me antidepressants! But I had to wait for antibiotics for a uti! Is it me or has the medical profession shot the plot!!? Good video Doc, I enjoyed your live feed with black belt barrister too, very insightful. The case in this video I’ve watched on Emma Kenny’s channel too. So I was somewhat familiar with it. But still an excellent choice, you both work in the same sort of profession yet you both give differing perspectives, whilst still saying the same conclusions. It’s like watching a movie from different angles. Keep up your great content, 🌹
I have ADHD (I know I also have autism as well, it's obvious!), I wish I'd been diagnosed as a girl and had the proper help, including medication. Concerta has changed my life in my late thirties. I don't know of any adult diagnosed who doesn't wish they had been given medication as a child. The social difference would have been the best one, not being ostracised by your peers.
@@SkepticalTeacher I do know quite a few adults with ADHD too, they too were either not diagnosed as children and/or were unmediated. All say the same as you, I’m glad my daughter got an early diagnosis and the medication. As a parent it’s a massive decision to put your child on medications to treat ADHD, I hope your now in a better place, where you can succeed and live a happy fulfilling life, I send you much love and happiness x
The entire explanation between 16:32 until 19:06 fully describes Amber Heards younger life and how she behaved as she was growing up!!! Listen to it again and make your own opinion with her in mind!!!
Did the people at the party somehow manage to see the disarray (through an outside window??) in his (deceased) parents' room and decide "this is how they like their furniture" and redesign the rest of the house to that pattern? Just seemed strange that they didn't break into the parents' room. If they can trash the rest of the house why not break into a closed room? I could go on. After all only Jeremy the Librarian sees the Silent Singer.
This is just a question and not in any way combative but in the knowledge you possess is there not a impossibility of almost anything occurring within the middle when I'll in some way , i.e. Hearing voices in the way this young chap heard ? And you absolutely correct with you description of your channel , absolutely no bullshit complete and complete experience!
I heard what you said about not considering the sofa fire as significant. I’ve also been led to believe that fire setting can be a major red flag for predicting possibly unknown or future behaviors aimed at harming others. I’ll be very appreciative if you can please explain how a professional working with the individual would be able to know the difference short of a psych eval?
I would love to hear your feedback on Anthony Templet. There’s a documentary on Netflix regarding his awful story “I just killed my dad”. I hope the best for him in the future. He’ll have to overcome a lot of things but, I think (and hope) he can!
Doctor, you mentioned him being born prematurely. Is there any side effects psychologically of being a heavy baby that was late by a few weeks? Very informative, professional and non biased videos. 👍
A little over a decade ago I was on citalopram for several years. I learned very quickly, that a mix with alcohol (beyond a glass of wine or two) led to severe worsening of the symptoms. To mix it with cannabis or narcotics must have been even worse. It's also rather...heavy medication, and like other medications of that type takes the bottom of your mood, it takes the top as well. That is not a good thing, because it robs you of the good days and good experiences. It made me feel even more isolated from the excited people around me. If we assume Tyler had a similar experience, this is cruel to do to a child!
19:06 - I think it's more likely that he took his time before following through with the murders due to the conscientious nature the perpetrator. He took drugs beforehand in order to disinhibit himself enough to commit the act. The whole "I savored the moment before striking" story is probably Tyler embellishing the act, because at his core he was hungry for attention. It's the same reason why he bragged to his friend about committing the murders. He wants the infamy that comes with being seen as a ruthless killer. He also didn't care that people were trashing his house and had no idea who he was because at the end of the day, people are still at his house, with him. There is a disconnect between positive and negative attention with this guy - it's all the same.
I am wondering if there was a disconnect to mum n dad , early bonding. Then it's hard to raise child. Maybe, early intervention to help early babies bond with parents might help. Given, there will be issues later and difficult for parents to navigate. Don't think medication the answer. So sad he got to that place and even more sad for his mum n dad. 😞❤️
I'm shocked that you say you don't usually prescribe antidepressants to people under 18. In America antidepressants are routinely prescribed to teenagers
@@APsychForSoreMinds It's not unusual in the US that the school district will force parents to medicate their child to allow them to attend school. I'm British so don't take my word for it! But I see some comments from people from the US here. We're talking combinations of stimulants, anti-depressants, anti-psychotics etc., all at the same time. And this can be for children of 11. These drugs are given off-label, because obviously they're not tested on little kids. Some US psychiatrists are convinced they can see symptoms of bipolar disorder in 6 years old and younger. No I'm not joking. They diagnose young adolescents with borderline personality disorder sometimes. They are almost forced to use these labels by the health insurance system - from my perspective it seems as though a child has to have a label in order for the cost of treatment to be reimbursed. Appointments with a specialist sometimes have such a high co-pay (insurance excess), that it seems like they prefer to throw ALL the medications at the person at once. Obviously if you're on three psychiatric drugs, you don't even know which side-effects are coming from what, or whether they are interacting! I'm not a specialist in any of this, I just look at it and go "that seems weird". So I may be completely wrong about everything. (PS: In future, might want to explain what you mean by "negative symptoms" cos lots of people won't know.)
@@hazelangus It's starting to happen more often here, too many of the young people I see have a history of parents desperate for something the school has demanded before they will take on their child. Reports from primary school follow the kids and often instead of what can we do differently the response is medicate them before we consider meeting them because we have been warned.
I would like your take on a chap called Fidel Lopez,which I came across on you tube shown by Law &Crime interview with him on 24th July 2022( I came across this interview by accident) Because there was no court case shown,I wondered what sort of a person could commit such an horrendous crime.I give a warning to anyone who may watch this,it's not for the faint hearted viewer.
I took fluoxetine (Prozac) for years for PMDD and had no problems; one doctor then decided to change me to citalopram, and within about three weeks I had decided that I needed to kill myself and started writing letters to people. I mean, I had never had any kind of suicidal ideation before or anything like that. Thankfully, I still had some grasp on reality and stopped taking it, went cold turkey. Later found out that ny brother was given this as a teen for depression and had a similar reaction to it. Not a nice drug! Seems to be implicated in many of these kinds of events where teens and young men kill their families or classmates.
I self-harmed pretty badly during the adjustment period to citalopram - a few times in the first six weeks. Needed stitches twice. This was prescribed to me for major depression. I've been prescribed a few different anti-depressants for depression. Now been on sertraline for my severe anxiety, nearly a year now. It's been brilliant for me! My primary problem has always been anxiety (likely related to ADHD), whereas my depression has been episodic.
Sorry I'm a bit drunk! I don't think you're a "prick" really! I am sorry. (A bit drunk! Fucking paralytic, some might say!!! Let me tell you this: I'm someone who was brought up in "care ' in the 80's ( And what a misnomer the word "care" is,FFS!). As a result of my childhood,I have BPD which has been a monumental struggle.Notwithstanding,I have singlehandeflly managed to raise a son who is a second year LA W student at Leeds uni. I love him and am very proud and cannot understand any young man who'd want to kill their parent.
Dr Das, Forgive me for asking.but what is the purpose of your channel? I like your content but what is your real intention? Sorry,I can't help but wonder.Are you with me..?!
This has been addressed before. Usually Das doesn't dress so informally, but it is his channel, and he can wear what he wishes. He is a professional, no matter what he is wearing. This isn't a professional office setting, and there are no set restrictions on the aesthetics. I just wanted to warn you. Das isn't going to change his apparel to suit his channel's followers. He's not that type of dude. He's his own person.
Finally! Someone who can assess mentally disordered offenders for me. This takes up so much my time usually. Thanks man XD
de nada
@@APsychForSoreMinds --
Love the Spanish/Portuguese response, Dr. Das!
Why?!
@@ruthadams6390 --
I'll let you think about it...
@@melstiller8561 noi idea,iwas drunk and can't remember.Ill watch it again have a ponder and let you know the answer .Is that okay love...?
Wow, Those poor parents, and I imagine traumatized teens attended the party and later found out. Love how you break it all down.

Did the people at the party somehow manage to see the disarray (through an outside window??) in his (deceased) parents' room and decide "this is how they like their furniture" and redesign the rest of the house to that pattern?
Just seemed strange that they didn't break into the parents' room. If they can trash the rest of the house why not break into a closed room? I could go on. After all only Jeremy the Librarian sees the Silent Singer.
This is just a question and not in any way combative but in the knowledge you possess is there not a impossibility of almost anything occurring within the middle when I'll in some way , i.e. Hearing voices in the way this young chap heard ?
And you absolutely correct with you description of your channel , absolutely no bullshit complete and complete experience!
This was interesting - thinking of florida - would you cover Austin Harrouff?
I heard what you said about not considering the sofa fire as significant. I’ve also been led to believe that fire setting can be a major red flag for predicting possibly unknown or future behaviors aimed at harming others. I’ll be very appreciative if you can please explain how a professional working with the individual would be able to know the difference short of a psych eval?
I would love to hear your feedback on Anthony Templet. There’s a documentary on Netflix regarding his awful story “I just killed my dad”. I hope the best for him in the future. He’ll have to overcome a lot of things but, I think (and hope) he can!
Doctor, you mentioned him being born prematurely. Is there any side effects psychologically of being a heavy baby that was late by a few weeks? Very informative, professional and non biased videos. 👍
Dr Das! I like myself,who do you like??!;! Now I really do have to drag myself into shower!!
Love the little lion on the table! Terrible story…ghastly and grisly.
A little over a decade ago I was on citalopram for several years. I learned very quickly, that a mix with alcohol (beyond a glass of wine or two) led to severe worsening of the symptoms. To mix it with cannabis or narcotics must have been even worse. It's also rather...heavy medication, and like other medications of that type takes the bottom of your mood, it takes the top as well. That is not a good thing, because it robs you of the good days and good experiences. It made me feel even more isolated from the excited people around me.
If we assume Tyler had a similar experience, this is cruel to do to a child!
I have narcolepsy so I have been on adderall since 12 and it changed my life to better.
👋Hi Dr. DAS,
Greetings from Savannah Georgia 🇺🇸
Here from Black Belt Barrister.
welcome, Ms Esteem x
19:06 - I think it's more likely that he took his time before following through with the murders due to the conscientious nature the perpetrator. He took drugs beforehand in order to disinhibit himself enough to commit the act. The whole "I savored the moment before striking" story is probably Tyler embellishing the act, because at his core he was hungry for attention. It's the same reason why he bragged to his friend about committing the murders. He wants the infamy that comes with being seen as a ruthless killer. He also didn't care that people were trashing his house and had no idea who he was because at the end of the day, people are still at his house, with him. There is a disconnect between positive and negative attention with this guy - it's all the same.
I am wondering if there was a disconnect to mum n dad , early bonding. Then it's hard to raise child. Maybe, early intervention to help early babies bond with parents might help. Given, there will be issues later and difficult for parents to navigate. Don't think medication the answer. So sad he got to that place and even more sad for his mum n dad. 😞❤️
I think if he was on adderall that played a part. It would have made him more aggressive and less empathetic.
wow el nivel de traición y falta de aprecio
I'm shocked that you say you don't usually prescribe antidepressants to people under 18. In America antidepressants are routinely prescribed to teenagers
yikes. That does not sound healthy x
@@APsychForSoreMinds from my own experience, I can say that it is not healthy at all
@@APsychForSoreMinds It's not unusual in the US that the school district will force parents to medicate their child to allow them to attend school. I'm British so don't take my word for it! But I see some comments from people from the US here.
We're talking combinations of stimulants, anti-depressants, anti-psychotics etc., all at the same time. And this can be for children of 11. These drugs are given off-label, because obviously they're not tested on little kids.
Some US psychiatrists are convinced they can see symptoms of bipolar disorder in 6 years old and younger. No I'm not joking. They diagnose young adolescents with borderline personality disorder sometimes.
They are almost forced to use these labels by the health insurance system - from my perspective it seems as though a child has to have a label in order for the cost of treatment to be reimbursed. Appointments with a specialist sometimes have such a high co-pay (insurance excess), that it seems like they prefer to throw ALL the medications at the person at once. Obviously if you're on three psychiatric drugs, you don't even know which side-effects are coming from what, or whether they are interacting!
I'm not a specialist in any of this, I just look at it and go "that seems weird". So I may be completely wrong about everything.
(PS: In future, might want to explain what you mean by "negative symptoms" cos lots of people won't know.)
@@hazelangus It's starting to happen more often here, too many of the young people I see have a history of parents desperate for something the school has demanded before they will take on their child. Reports from primary school follow the kids and often instead of what can we do differently the response is medicate them before we consider meeting them because we have been warned.
I would like your take on a chap called Fidel Lopez,which I came across on you tube shown by Law &Crime interview with him on 24th July 2022( I came across this interview by accident) Because there was no court case shown,I wondered what sort of a person could commit such an horrendous crime.I give a warning to anyone who may watch this,it's not for the faint hearted viewer.
Enjoying your hols? A bit of recycling here. You could just turn RUclips off for a bit. We'll still be here when you get home. x
sshhh... Don't tell anybody x
Pink mackerel 😂😂😂
Oh snap! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I took fluoxetine (Prozac) for years for PMDD and had no problems; one doctor then decided to change me to citalopram, and within about three weeks I had decided that I needed to kill myself and started writing letters to people. I mean, I had never had any kind of suicidal ideation before or anything like that. Thankfully, I still had some grasp on reality and stopped taking it, went cold turkey. Later found out that ny brother was given this as a teen for depression and had a similar reaction to it. Not a nice drug! Seems to be implicated in many of these kinds of events where teens and young men kill their families or classmates.
I self-harmed pretty badly during the adjustment period to citalopram - a few times in the first six weeks. Needed stitches twice. This was prescribed to me for major depression. I've been prescribed a few different anti-depressants for depression.
Now been on sertraline for my severe anxiety, nearly a year now. It's been brilliant for me! My primary problem has always been anxiety (likely related to ADHD), whereas my depression has been episodic.
If you had to analyse your personality what would you say. ???
So I've heard 👀😂
Sorry I'm a bit drunk! I don't think you're a "prick" really! I am sorry. (A bit drunk! Fucking paralytic, some might say!!! Let me tell you this: I'm someone who was brought up in "care ' in the 80's ( And what a misnomer the word "care" is,FFS!). As a result of my childhood,I have BPD which has been a monumental struggle.Notwithstanding,I have singlehandeflly managed to raise a son who is a second year LA W student at Leeds uni. I love him and am very proud and cannot understand any young man who'd want to kill their parent.
Do you wear that shirt to your Day Job? 😎
The guys 100% fruit and nut.
Is that two radiators next to each other? Are you in the bathroom?
Ohhh chairs!
Move the pop filter away from the mic - about an inch will do it. (That what she never said)
Agreed, actually there are a number of presentational issues I'd suggest - but I can come across as rude!
@@Tymbus
Then don't. His channel,his choice of presentation.
16th July, my birthday is 17th July😊 and did you say he is from port St Lucy. My name is Lucy😊
This story has always left me befuddled. Hearing the assessment helps provides more clarity and the what in the world of this story.
That it! Gotta help global warming😉
(Your a Doctor so wouldn’t lie to us🤥)
Always!
Dr Das, Forgive me for asking.but what is the purpose of your channel? I like your content but what is your real intention? Sorry,I can't help but wonder.Are you with me..?!
Question. I'm trying to low-key take over the world. (but don't tell anybody)
Thank you, you've replied with a heart,but haven't answered my question! No worries, I've got to go to work in two hours half cur!!!
I'm with you darling! Together we'll succeed! Anything to stop another series of Dr Who!
He’s a helper type and he’s a teacher plus a little bit of an entertainer.
Would you mind wearing a shirt? Thank you. Uncomfortable watching you speak as a professional whilst wearing a tank top.
This has been addressed before. Usually Das doesn't dress so informally, but it is his channel, and he can wear what he wishes. He is a professional, no matter what he is wearing. This isn't a professional office setting, and there are no set restrictions on the aesthetics. I just wanted to warn you. Das isn't going to change his apparel to suit his channel's followers. He's not that type of dude. He's his own person.
