COVID-19's impact on the globe can’t be understated, and while the vaccine has dramatically reduced the spread of the virus in nations that are lucky enough to have access, the global toll on our mental health, vaccinated or not, will be felt for years to come. To better understand the ramifications of the global pandemic on the hearts and minds of humans everywhere, I sat down with two experts, Dr. Ali Mattu of The Psych Show here on RUclips, and Dr. Tarun Dua, the head of Brain Health for the WHO.

hi
Omg I'm a subscriber
Have wanted this collab for so long! So glad it happened.
@@furrypuffskein6585 Please seek professional help, however you can. Not everything can be dealt with without (professional) help.

My daughter has severe ADHD and when everything was moved to online she went from being a straight A student to failing 4 classes. She could not handle doing class when there was not a teacher in front of her putting pressure on her. And they let the kids study at their own pace which meant that she just didn’t do it.
That must have been hard on you. I hope she is doing better now, I’m praying for you!
Oh, that's horrible! Hope covid will end soon enough and schools re-open! just make sure to let her now she's not the problem and that she can always trip and stand up agn! wish her luck!
My best wishes to your daughter and may she be fairing as well as she can be. I hope the change in her study methods and grades have not negatively affected her confidence or sense of self. If you may, please understand/affirm her her grades do not define her, her ability to complete tasks or remain productive do not determine her worth. Struggling in the present circumstances is absolutely valid. Encourage her to treat herself with kindness and to see beyond her books. School exists now, but it does not define her forever. Maintaining a healthy mindset and sense of self will lead to a positive future far more than maintaining school grades ever will.
i as a student with adhd has a similar situation (going from all B to barely scrapings by with a c- in every class) and i hope your daughter can get grades back up, i sympathize
Same. My elementary daughter is in a charter so as soon as she was able to go back to school, she did. We didnt even last 3 months and she was back in school face to face October 2020.
One thing I learned about the mental health system in this country, even before the pandemic, is that you are truly on your own.
Very true. Getting quality help is so challenging and makes it so easy to want to give up.
Amen!
I could not agree more!! So so true!
Unless you commit a drug related offense, then outpatient treatment is mandated and completely ineffective. People either want the help or they will refuse it. Can’t have it both ways!
@@Saixjacket I wanted help and in the last 20 years I have sought counseling thru my employers employee assistance program , several times. I was amazed at the incompetence of the counselors I was sent to. I finally gave up realizing that real help simply does not exist.
Since the pandemic, I've lost all interest in things I used to love. Hard to get motivated to do anything. Struggle to even go outside to run errands. My whole life has changed dramatically.
I hope it gets better, I know, I struggle with same thing. Some days are better than others. And add to the stress the climate change and the heat wave and drought we are experiencing in the NW and it starts to become overwhelming. I don't know how those of us who don't have as many resources manage during tough times! Wishing you the best.
All the climate change and oppression. Im just such a depressed and scared loser. I have no motivation to do anything.
turn off the news
China and Fauci caused this.
Best wishes to you! It's tough, but you are strong!
Since I'm in my late 60s and retired, I self-quarantined for a year and a half. Now I have difficulty dealing with others face to face. My social skills have deteriorated badly.
I much appreciate your honesty and sharing. Thanks.
Same with me. And I'm feeling lonelier than ever.
I am in trauma therapy for a sexual assault that nearly ended in being killed, and was hospitalized for months after. i have moved past a lot of it. but having my therapist now in these times, is SO helpful too!
So happy you're alive and doing well. You're a living example of Post Traumatic Growth 💚
Im so glad you’re doing better now. Keep it up!🥺🤍
Hope you are doing well...stay strong❤️👍
so glad you are alive and doing better!😢❤ you are stronger than anything else for going trough all that, i hope the best for your future❤❤
Hope you're feeling better soon.
My anxiety is the worst it’s ever been. It’s so hard to find help that takes my insurance. I feel so lost. It’s so hard.
I suffer from severe anxiety too. I find it really difficult to concentrate and focus on things like i used to before and it sucks. It has gotten to the point where its hard to think of words to speak in normal conversations. I do feel like i have lost my mind at times. I understand how tough it is. Really. Just know that there will always be some way. Things do get better somehow. Just Dont give up yet. We got this :)
I've been targeting anxiety posts throughout the internet, urging them to work on their physique. I suffered SEVERE anxiety for the last decade or so, and I got everything fixed by working on my body and posture. Anxiety often comes from lack of oxygen or shortness of breath (even if you don't feel you have those), because your bad posture is not allowing your lungs to inflate and get oxygen to your brain, which causes the sensation of constant danger. Work on that. I GUARANTEE you'll fix it. Of course, the "story" you tell yourself in your mind determines the outcome. Have a great life sir.
I feel that. And what makes it worse is my anxiety preventing me from seeking help bc either I'm too worried to bother someone or it getting in the way of work
@@serinawong3019 yes I’m even scared to leave the house sometimes
I really feel that. Have you tried looking on psychology today? They have a filter for people that take your insurance. It’s tricky because most are really booked out or not accepting new patients in my area at least, but I think that would be the best place to start so you can hopefully get some help. I’d recommend just emailing 6+ people at a time for the best chances of finding someone in a reasonable time.
I was already well on the road to struggling with the recurrent symptoms of childhood trauma when Covid hit. Trauma on top of trauma. Meanwhile, the mechanisms that were supposed to be there to help me instead abandoned me. The worst of it is that we as a society have become so desensitized to the nature and impact of trauma, falsely assuming that trauma only exists in violence, catastrophe, life-threatening adversity. We too quickly overlook the person who suffered shame and exclusion as a child, or bullying, or have disengaged parents.
We forget that the children we’re always so quick to “save” yesterday have become adults today, but we’re still talking about saving the children. Why? Because children can’t tell you if what you’re doing is actually working or if your efforts to capitalize on their misery, while making you rich, probably isn’t doing anything to really solve the problem.
As person who has struggled with Mental Health their entire life, this video means a lot.

It's a crock. 100% of the problem is Capitalists taking advantage of EVERYTHING. Ala carte health care gives people anxiety.
@@whatadaytobealive He's saying..who cares if you appreciate it
I really appreciate that Dr Ali brought up that different people need different methods for dealing with their struggles. It’s stupid common that people try to fit others into this box and do things their way without caring that said methods may actually make things worse for someone else. I’ve been surrounded by people who come at me with “you need to do X and it is the only way for you to get better.” And that’s incredibly stressful, especially when it inevitably fails.
just work out.

Spot-on. And a pervious comment seemed to have missed that, by posting " Turn off the media." Guess we're all WIP (works in progress!)
@@ninjablack4347 work outs are a great stress buster. Used to do it myself until I became disabled. With that gone it becomes tougher.
I work nights, so when I drive home in the morning, I'm typically greeted with a sunrise. I spend about 20 minutes a day reflecting on the natural beauty of things, and consciously smile on my drive home. I find repeatedly doing this helps my mood a great deal.
That's nice ♥💯
I would love to learn to drive.
I live in Chicago and grateful that I had already getting help for the improvement of my emotional health.. My heat is so grateful that I got a trauma therapist weakly sessions over video calls..Self Care is awesome and we all deserve to feel safe.
Living in the real world and experiencing what is around you, and ignoring the manipulation of mass media will do that for ya! Pay attention to this person, people, this is the key to happiness.
Night shifts are cancerous.
Now take that feeling and top it off with a fat blunt honey and ignore these idiots talking bout anything but
Yep, do some research
Dr. Byram Bridle of Canada 🇨🇦
I find it weird that my anxiety and PTSD has worsened during this period but its not directly correlated with covid🤔. Like I just noticed when something triggers me, my reactions have become more extreme...I don't get it.
I have felt the exact same way. It's like my triggers are the same but they manifest in different and more intense ways.
Same, I think it's because I haven't socialised in a long time and kind of lack practice in a way. Idk if that makes sense.
Same as y'all, Beautiful and Amara! Both my anxiety and PTSD seem to have spiked out of no where and are manifesting differently than before and not directly because of Covid. It's like my mind decided now is the perfect time to try "exciting new ways" to deal and show anxiety/PTSD.
I've had something similar and me neither couldn't trace it back to any specific change covid has brought us but I still think that it came from the quarantine/homeschooling and different social life...even tho I can't directly trace it back to anything and it just somehow began.
@@jasajadinzdesic5472 that makes perfect sense actually, thank you
My three school age kids were all effected differently. 1- couldn't get any work done being remote, 2- started getting A+'s but missed the social interaction, 3- had severe anxiety and trouble leaving the house at all.
Okay I don't want to bash your kids, but as a highschooler our school found the any of the kids who thrived grades-wise were cheating. It's easy and accessible for most and there are no consequences in the moment
@@elijahhogan2497 my 3rd grader wasn't cheating. There was less distractions and he was able to get work on his own time. There was more one on one time with the sped assistant.
@@elijahhogan2497 Your school officials should be ashamed of themselves! Yes, there may have been some who were cheating, but many introverts thrive in remote situations. Some people need the freedom to do things on their own time and a schedule works better for them. Just because a student wasn't doing well in the classroom doesn't mean that they are cheating when they are at home! Your school officials should be fired!!! That is horrible!
@@RiverWoods111 I guess it's different because in the high schools there was no time to work on your own. You had the same schedule it was just on zoom.
@@uicornpoorainbows our school was the exact same as before just on zoom so the only difference was that kids had access to Google. Good for your kid tho, I hope they allow for the remote option permanently
I was having severe anxiety & panic attacks most of my life. Introduce the COVID and it escalated so much more. Depression then hit, worried constantly about my children, grandchildren and family 24/7.
i was having severe anxiety and panic attacks before covid and now i have severe depression as well
"It's not the load that breaks you down. It is the way you carry it."
As stated in the video, every person is different. I hope each one of you will find the best way to cope/carry your load.
Great video as always!
I'd like to add, the weight of what you're dealing with can overwhelm you given you don't have the tools to deal with it either.
I like to sleep and drink tea when I get overwhelmed helps me cool down from stress if I feel to stressed or overwhelmed I just lay down and sleep for a hr or so.
Well said
"You are not crazy. You are awake in an insane world. For that exact reason, most people will call you crazy"
Exactly. Another thing, a lot of folks need to get out from in front of the TV and live life, plant flowers, go bike riding, teach your kids to cook, change a tire on a car. Get up and get moving. All the mental illness in first World countries has grown exponentially with staying inside all the time. TV was the first great invention to get mankind to "check out" and not keep up with what the government is up to.
Precisely kind Sir

Because “they” don’t “understand” or see what you see/know to knowledge so obviously your wrong one or confused lol 🤷🏾♂️
The only major mental health crisis is/was an epidemic of Munschausen’s within our health care community. Specifically, Munschausen’s-by-Proxy.
“It’s possible to be struggling and growing at the same time”
??????????? Did you really have to ear it from someone else? You couldn't just think it yourself and come to the realization that its most likely factual?
You needed someone else to say it or something? I don't get this. Do people not critically think?
@@wrathaloss6091 no lol, nothing about “I couldn’t rationalise my way to this” is implied by the comment… lmfao but stay mad, I guess
It’s just simply a true statement that I decided to highlight. You sound like something’s bothering you.
@clint Murphy hes saying its common sense and that the first guy shouldnt have needed a quote to realise it. but honestly its a nice quote and for me it was a nice reminder that even though im struggling im growing at the same time
TRUTH! WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING NEW YOU WILL STRUGGLE BUT YOU WILL ALSO GET BETTER AT IT AS WELL
Gatekeeping on which quotes are worthy of commenting and which aren’t-that’s wild to me lmao… honestly have never seen anything like that before
Legitimate doctor with a doctorate: mental health is important!

"You have power over your mind - not outside events.

Marcus Aurelius
Straight up and down
The 2 guys in this video are gay
Quoting Marcus Aurelius isn't exactly hitting the nail on the head. He may have been viewed as the wisest and intellectual of all Roman emperors; except his belief in Stoicism (a philosophy that emphasized fate, reason, and self-restraint) leaves one being skeptical of his mental health. Someone with a mental illness does NOT have "power over their minds" to make things all nice, warm, and cozy by being philosophical.
The single greatest discovery from Covid 19 is that we are a very fragile society.
No, it proves a few elites can take over the world with a virus that is 99% treatable.
Shameful. Crimes against humanity.
Shameful!!

@@sweetembrace6706 Well you would say that, wouldn't you my brainwashed tax-slave friend. Go on and tell me about how the government loves us so very much 😍😍😍😍💕💕💕
We need to talk about the lack of empathy going on, in general, towards each other. We all were effected. We all should be nice!!
Ah, but my concept of "nice" might not by yours.
This is like saying “do what makes you happy” when the person you’re telling that to would be spitting in your face by doing so. You don’t want that much “niceness”. You won’t stay grounded
Actually I don’t care about your feelings. Take care of your own emotional problems. I won’t tip toe around worried about being “nice”. not important at all. Be realistic. There ya go. Pull your pants up and live your life.
Since when is this world “nice”? You’re not owed that, and it’s not coming. Better to find strength.
Democrats and Globalists deserve no empathy.
Lack of empathy is big. I’ve experienced many people pushing away from me since my father and sister passed at the start of the year. I’m praying for more people who don’t see me as a burden
I'm in that moment RIGHT NOW!!! That struggling and growth period is exactly what I'm going through now!!! One month ago I realized that I was no longer safe in the situation I was living in. It was very hard to express that I needed help... It is way better for me now that I'm "safe" and no longer living in that environment. With that said; I still occasionally struggle with different aspects of the aftermath of the situation. I don't blame myself for the situation but I do blame myself for the seemingly countless ripple effects that this has caused in my family and friends. It's a paradoxical dichotomy; a spaghetti plot of emotions that I would really like to never have to think about ever but can't move past it without working through it so these issues don't end up sneaking up on me in the future.
One last thing; that bit about "helping people in the way they want to be helped" is so accurate! I find venting (even if it's just to God) about things that are hard to deal with to be one of my best ways of getting through the emotions of the moment. I mean ya I can cry, eat ice cream and through a pitty party like the rest of them but in order for me to get through the emotions of the moment it's BEST to talk about it. Then later after I've cooled down if I want to reflect on it further I write in my "guided reflection" journal! That has been so helpful but also hurtful at the same time. You see the reason I prefer talking to someone about issues is because in my opinion if you simply write it down it gets the idea out but if you tell someone else about the issue (whatever it might be) they can help, encourage, uplift, hold accountable and check on you if anything else happens. But if you just wrote about these issues who would know to keep tabs on you and motivate you or help you in any way. I'm autistic and learn best hearing things though so maybe that has a part to play in the way I "decompress". I wish I can go back in time to August 7th when what happened on the 8th wouldn't have been a problem and things were okay again...
Thanks for sharing this video!
Everyone needs therapy. I don’t think there’s one person in the world that can’t benefit from therapy. If you feel like you need it please reach out to professionals.
This! My father is someone who believes that if you truly need to see a therapist, you're not mentally stable, and that you have something wrong with you. It's really upsetting, as I've been wanting to see a therapist for awhile just to help with my emotions, etc.
One of my favorite quotes is from Boston Legal, where Alan Shore proclaims: I think friends should always encourage friends to get their heads examined.
But also as a society, we have a lot of work to do to make therapy more readily available for everyone.
therapy never works for me, i’ve gone multiple times but i’ve never gotten anything out of it just more stress about worrying what will happen when i go to therapy. also i have trouble trusting anyone that is getting paid to do something for me because what if they only are saying what gets me to come back and give more money, i know that probably won’t happen but it’s still something that makes therapy really hard to get anything out of
@@HuffGLaDTem I'm sad to hear that :( It sounds like some other type of assistance maybe coupled with more long-term traditional therapy (with a therapist you feel comfortable with) could help, like for example support groups? The others there aren't paid, and you'll meet people who can understand what you're also going through and feel less lonely, a sense of connection, and possibly gain help in dealing with your own feelings through talking with each other. Support is one of the first most important things for our mental wellbeing, so even if it isn't professionally, having a support system like family members you trust or close friends is also very good.
I've also had mixed experiences with therapy, and most often it's been because I haven't felt like I'm listened to or my words are taken seriously by the therapist, which is a good sign you need to change therapists. Hoping it all works out for you, there's always some form of help to get
@@sugoish9461 thanks for the advice i will look into that

Yeah lots of ppl r in denial.
Most of us who have experienced humility and Weren’t over sheltered or entitlement were just fine during the pandemic. most of us with experience in real world humility seen it coming under trumps incompetence. I was actually surprised things didn’t get wore under trumps “leadership”
The pandemic was awesome the exact wholeness I feel it, I'll never forget the memories of those days.
I have always been very introverted. I have become a hermit and the thought of re-entering society scares me. I already had cptsd, anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder.
My big thing is if I want someone to open up, I have to be willing to do the same. People are way more like to share uncomfortable things with you if you did the same. They need to know that no judgment will come if they share.
"As a friend, your job is to be a friend not a therapist."
These are important words.
Correct. Therapists are not there to be your friend. They’re impartial, but they also have to be blunt and call you out on bad behavior.
Who got challenged? What the hell, this is crazy. I am more scarred by the human reactions to the entire situation, than anything. The far left and right, have both destroyed all my faith in humanity. That is the damaged from this pandemic.
Yeah. My whole view of the world and our fellow humans is different now. Worse.
Too many people don’t know how to cope with life in a positive way, don’t accept there’s not much they can control & they are miserable trying like hell to control everything except their own feelings. When they blame their feelings on others… That’s when things get really bad.
Maybe if people started respecting one one another then maybe there would be less depress people and suicides.Gosh what a ideal.Then take account there are very few true friendships in the world.
@@zeeoracle True, but, I wasn’t speaking about criminal behavior and more along the lines of trivial things. And no matter what people experience, if they don’t choose to let things go, other peoples behavior can destroy them too.
@@zeeoracle I can give an example: malignant narcissism. While subtle enough to be trivial at first, it can be every bit as destructive as physical abuse, worse, even. The worst part: a malignant narcissist can get away with murder without even touching anyone.
@@nmccoy09 Had a woman boss who was a malignant narcissist. She took a malicious joy preying on subordinates, one after another. The turnover rate was 50%+ every year. No one stayed past a few years.
Had my first ever panic attack last may. I thought I was dying or having a heart attack. 3,000$ ER bill to show for it and no money. I’ve never struggled mentally until this pandemic. It’s been rough
Had my first this March
Glad you mentioned the ER bill.
Selective morality..many lives have been destroyed..I haven't seen any Real action on that.
Truly barbaric
@Mike G
Welcome to the world that *I WAS BORN IN.*
I hope you’re doing better. These are thought times. Your health insurance will pay the vast majority of the bill so don’t worry about that. The hospital can work out a payment plan for you for the portion you owe, which could be as little as a $50 or $75 copay hopefully.
@Paradigm Shift Excuse me? This person felt like they were literally dying . Maybe you're in a "better" place to deal w/panic attacks but this person wasn't. Mental Health IS diverse. I know bcuz I've had Depression/Anxiety since long before last year. Have a little more empathy..
what sucks is that people dont seem to understand the outside/school was an escape to some to get away with issues at home with abusive parents and family, really sad.
I’m from England and I’m a teen, something me and my peers have learned in the past few years even before the pandemic is that when you need help and support in the long term or if you’re in a crisis, you’re truly alone.
I’ve developed a pretty solid hatred for the government that claims to be representing us. I already wasn’t a fan before the pandemic but now I’d like to see every single one of those politicians gone.
Welcome to the club 👍🏻 Takes some people a whole lifetime to realize the government isn’t your friend.
Government is one hundred percent evil all the time. Don't let nerds convince you otherwise.
The massive increase in the acceptance of negativity is probably having an effect. I think we were trending towards this without the pandemic, but it definitely catalyzed it.
What do you negativity do you mean?
Toxic positivity doesn't help either. What most people don't realise is that having a balance is probably the ideal.
@@madhatterline Yeah I definitely hear you, but that whole thing about toxic positivity in my view is plainly just being unrealistic. Striking a balance between them is not as daunting of a task as your comment would suggest
They want us all to be free and equal on this planet where you have to pay to enter live and leave it and have political correctness of a democratic or Republican sides and choose on what you believe how these people we vote into office should lead us well I hear about all this change every 4 years but never see nothing maybe I'm just a mid class person and single who works everyday pays my Bill's and pay a personal property tax on a car I bought and own and always owe taxes every year and I'm told i dont qualify to get food stamps because i make too much yeah mind you it's a cruel world out there people dont talk about the whole continent off trash floating in the ocean how the Amazon was on fire oh but they did say those elephants in China were on a mission to go well they dont know exactly but they left where they resided a long journey or trek ... animals just dont get up and leave it's called migration because they feel that where they lived isn't suitable no more that's a problem but hey I suppose it's my mental health that makes me concern and question these things who knows
And no I don't need a bible thrown at me either
As an introvert, I never thought I would miss people. But here I AM😭
EDIT: Just hung out with a group of friends and I just remembered how much I enjoy being alone….
Gotcha Bro!
Misanthropic still dont miss humans 🤢
As an introvert all i realized was just how much i dont need or like other humans. We got chickens now though!
I feel it man
I never missed people because I’m around them constantly☺️👌🏻
The truth is that we are purposely being put into a state of extreme anxiety and stress though media/politics/irrelevant distractions so that no one is able to focus inward and develop there own sense of inner peace. If everyone were able to do that, no one would hold power over you or your emotions. This is the cause of the mental health crisis. We are children in a game and we have forgotten the power we actually have.
I wish I would've found this sooner. I'm still going to share it with my fellow workers. I work in a large grocery/general merchandise store. The pandemic was really rough on us as it has been for so many. It makes me happy to see that mental health is being discussed more and more. Thank you to all the doctors, nurses, healthcare workers and everyone else on the front lines. We wouldn't still be here without all of you and your hard work.
I have agoraphobia, anxiety and panic disorder. 🙃 I'm not new to mental health issues and therapy. I was working from home for 2.5 years before the pandemic. I had never felt more normal I actually made progress with my agoraphobia during the pandemic. I felt like I was training for this for years and was so ready to isolate ☺
Before the pandemic, I was very insecure and probably at the lowest point in my life. The pandemic changed that for me. I had that Post Traumatic Growth. I started listening to what I wanted to be and do and I actually became happier. Before, I tried pleasing others and putting myself in my own box. The pandemic had opened my eyes that everyone has their own things to think about, they aren’t the ones that have these high expectations of me, I did that to myself. I learned that I wasn’t being the person I wanted. I now want to do things I haven’t tried before and I want to do more social things, which used to scare me. I love the person I am now, but I’m still learning about myself now. I hope that anyone that has been through what I have that they know that I am routing for them and that I hope the best for them. What worked for me was leaning into stuff I love: dance, music, and art; but that can differ for everyone. What I want someone to take away from this is: do what you love and love what you do. In doing so, you’ll be happier and you will have a greater understanding of who you truly are 💕

I was already depressed for months before covid started, didn't talk to anyone. only went out a few times for groceries, I nearly cried once while shopping. I was already alone with absolute no emotion to anything. It was the worst. Covid hit and everyone started freaking out about staying home and not physically seeing their loved ones. Honestly it hurt seeing everyone freaking out about being socially isolated and unable to go out. I saw this and then I realised how awful my life has become because people were living it. I started working on the 24/11/21 and I was the happiest I've ever been (first job) it was exactly what I didn't know I needed. I felt like I had a purpose for the first time, that I'm worth something, people were talking to me, I was learning, gaining new skills, was contributing something that was needed, the job had so much variety and it made it so fun, I loved it so much. I stopped getting shifts at the end of the year last year and this year I haven't been rostered. They say it's because it's slow this time of the year. I've been pretty much unemployed and slowly getting back to how I was. The difference this time is I talk to two sometimes the people. But yesterday I didn't want to talk to anyone. Also I cried at something super silly that happened. I don't think I talk to anyone about my feelings but RUclips somehow makes me feel comfortable sharing
Thank you. Being bipolar and living with the pandemic stressed me out badly for awhile. Now I think I know where I sit with this whole thing. It took quite awhile to work this whole thing out. Pandemic stress and bipolar stress at the same time is not cool but I grew as well. That said nothing in life has ever been easy. We have to do whatever we can do to keep ourselves above water.
For a long time, I've dealt with anxiety and depression, and the thought of going to a therapist was really scary to me. Eventually though, I overcame that fear, and I'm so glad that I did!

I probably should go to one, but I once did it in school and it was awful. Also cause of my age they tell my parents everything so I'm kind of lost what to do cause I know I need help but the whole parent thing throws me off. Anyways how were you able to be vulnerable because thats what I struggle the most with when talking about my problems?
Same I've been dealing with anxiety and depression
ME TOO! I was fortunate enough mine was rather inexpensive and I had the funds to pay out of pocket the first year. Now she takes my insurance and I only pay half. Therapy is now at the top of my "must have" list.

People genuinely told me for years that I’m not introverted. They believed it was just something wrong. And pushed me around in conversations or ideological topics cause people talk over my head and behind closed doors. My name comes up in many conversations while I’m close by, and I hear much more discussion than they think.
Getting help for mental health is a huge problem. Psychiatrists typically don't take insurance and charge close to 1000 dollars for initial consultations/assessments. Clinics use psychiatric nurses instead of doctors and they simply do not have the knowledge/ability to treat complicated cases. Psychiatrists have turned their practices into businesses and that leaves millions of ppl who cannot afford their fees with subpar treatment.
the segment about processing trauma was really encouraging to hear. Ive dealt with the struggle processing trauma and to be validated on the actions I took keeps me motivated. During the pandemic my experience has been as sour as anyones else's. ended a bad relationship, people I cared about have passed, and my job became a dangerous and toxic environment. I took the necessary action and decided to spend more time healing myself. Writing in a journal, meditation and exercise has been my bread and butter to get through.
*****your segment on coping hit home too. I have a family member that has always had poor coping skills. starting rituals that keeps them in a safety net. living every day on repeat just to survive. it has horrible sad to see over the span of 10 years
Nice story....
I don’t agree with “than anyone else” but I’m glad your doing okay
I can relate to your experience. So much loss in the external world both professionally and personally but so much gain in my internal world. I’m now in a new career with a knowing of my true strength and resilience-like meeting myself for the first time. I guess that’s why there is always opportunities in a crisis. I send you ❤️
@@lilcabbagepatch2703 I have been doing everything that you have said for decades. For me it's not poor coping skills, I did pretty good for years considering the many issues I had to deal with. Decades of chronic pain have done me in, everyday is just a repeat of the previous day. I have just been waiting for death to free me. It is sad but at the same time it's just a normal behaviour! There is nothing "wrong" with me and there's nothing that needs to be "fixed"! It's just the life that millions of people have to survive as long as they can!
I'm an essential worker and things are getting better in my country. I was supposed to see my family (outdoors) today after seeing people (outdoors) yesterday. Instead I have been crying in bed intermittently. I just feel overwhelmed. I wasn't expecting this part to make me feel this crummy.

About month ago I went to a funeral (outside with masks) and I almost had a anxiety attack. I'm vaccinated but it was so hard to be around so many people
Do you think you might have PTSD? It sounds like it. When things should be picking up, for you, your psychological skeleton finally gives out. Possibly because you've had to power through the episode while a lot of us have been able to alter our daily lives. Relief can often be when we first notice the damage we've accumulated.

I find "struggle" and "fight" to basically be synonyms. To struggle is to resist, to fight is to resist. Not sure the point of your distinction.
The issue comes if one is so overwhelmed by their illness that the struggle becomes too much, and they cease fighting.

It's been very positive for me as well, but only because I came from such a low. In 2019 I finally got the strength to work on my physical health after doctors had given up on me, but it also broke a (toxic) relationship as he lost control. I ended 2019 with the ability to walk, a suitcase of stuff, back in my home country after years of isolation that may as well have been lockdown, with no idea where to go or how to get there. COVID bought me time and understanding that was misplaced but well needed to sort things on my own, to slowly get used to human interaction again etc.

"Listen to understand. Don't listen to respond."
Fantastic info right there! I am very introverted. I get so frustrated w my roommate (who is also my best friend of 10+ years) because he is always so fast to respond w what he assumes may be a fast answer to the serious issues I'm dealing with. Which makes me feel like he doesn't take my issues seriously or listen as attentively and empathetically as I try to. These last few years have easily and undoubtedly been the most difficult I have ever had to deal with. Not only because of covid and all the problems arisen because of it, but extreme family turbulence and the fear of losing our home, living in poverty, food insecurity, etc etc. Just trying to hold on to any thin shred of hope I still can.
I am seeing this today in 2023 as I have been struggling a lot in 2022 with multiple surgeries, family medical emergencies, uncertainty, a covid infection and general stress from work and day to day life. It was refreshing to re-watch this. 🙂
i’m naturally very resilient. i struggle, i feel down, i have a hard time, but i always get through it. i just keep on keeping on because i know once i’m through, everything will be alright. it’s one huge part of me that i love. i am strong and i will be okay

Good for you! I'm very much the same way, and it truly helps. I know that whatever I'm going through, and I've dealt with a whole too big of a lot of severe trauma both physically and mentally, I will get through it. It's still not easy at all, but that mindset alone can take you so far.
This was so nice to hear. My way of getting over stuff is just venting and being heard. I don't need everyone to fix my problems for me, but my whole family is full of problem-solvers. Its was nice to feel validated and not just hear "well I'm your mother so I want to help you" I DONT NEED HELP I NEED YOU TO LISTEN!!!
My moms the same way. Every time I start to vent she’s like “ok here’s what you need to do..”. I’m 35. I know what I need to do. I just want you to listen to me!
You need to be more considerate of the person you're venting to. The person being 'vented to' may feel helpless when hearing you, and trying to give advice is helping them with that feeling as well. Just sitting and hearing someone whine while staying quiet is also awkward and mentally exhausting depending on how often it happens.
@@anaalina5964 If you cannot handle someone VENTING to you, ask them not to vent to you. Also, for someone who's poseing this as a "think about the other person's mental health" you should NEVER call venting "whining". You realize how damaging that is? Someone comes to confide in you and get support and you say "oh quite whining!"? Lastly, don't ever, EVER, assume you know my or anyone else's relationships from one singular comment. I've done much discussing about this with my mother but she is a mother in the end and want to help, so I don't vent to her.
SOLVE IT
@@rexana_rexana So, in your current mind, how is your mom supposed to know when you are venting as opposed to when you need her in a mutually communicative way? The struggle to become fully adult sometimes needs a bedraggled mom available on a limitless time frame. What may help is to know that by the time we are fully adult our moms get dead likely because they wanted to. lol!
Honestly mike I think you have hit home and yo6 should most definitely make another video because this not only made my heart feel like it wasnt empty but its given me a way to tell my family what exactly I'm going have been going through where I never knew how to describe it but the dark and empty hole I fall In and it helped me get out of bed today and responding to these people who just think and believe that nothing is wrong with me and having a voice to speak not only for myself but every other person who has been so strong and shared a little about themselves and I think of it as a smell you dont like but when you smell it you know exactly what that smell is and when and where and why you dont like and smells linger and you can try and get past the smell but sometime it shows back up and puts you right back in that hole but thank you and I think alot of people would appreciate it I know I would
I'm in therapy and it's given me an opportunity to talk about things that I can't talk about ( even before covid hit)
Therapy isn't for everyone we are all different individuals but it's definitely good for me.

I have complex PTSD and this last year has been such a relief! Maybe the pandemic is a way to balance out our extroverted narcissist worship? I’ve never been healthier in my life since I don’t have to deal with loudmouth selfish people out in the world so much!
I’m ready to stay isolated forever. It’s amazing.
It didn’t balance anything out, because everyone seems to narcissistically worship vaccination status.
im reallyyy really glad that something good came out for someone. YAY YOU!!
uite late to watch this, but thanks a lot for this video.
I struggle with severe mental health issues since teenage years (diagnosed, but likely even earlier) and I really appreciate your approach. And your collab with Dr. Ali! Just downright precious. You bring so much insight on the topic. I whish I could have had such a valuable source back then before I finally got heard out.
Since I was already in (yet another) deep depression before the pandemic started, the isolation itself did not affect me that much. I had pretty much curled up in my lonely snailhouse anyway. I could even benefit partly from the homework (that had not been offered before).
And the pandemic surely forced the awareness to take mental health seriously. (Still not enough, meaning all too often it is still seen as "second class", but definitely more than before. And mostly, (for very sad reasons of course) more people can relate better now.)
I start school as a mental health therapist. I can't wait. However, I had my own personal mental trauma that I had to conquer before moving on.
He really invented "diaring" when journaling was right there lmao
I'm sure he meant it as something more personal. If I'm not mistaken journaling you do it Infront of an audience or intended for an audience. A diary it's only for yourself, not for the whole world to read because you can write down really personal stuff you don't want others to read .
@@01wonderful i mean maybe, english isn't my first language, but I've never heard it defined like that. Sure you can show your jounal to other people, but I don't think it being intended for an audience is necessary to call it journaling
@@Eldariel15 I mean you can use the words interchangeably and people will still understand what you mean, since they're pretty much synonyms in the right context. However, diary will ALWAYS mean a record of personal events, feelings, etc. Diary is always a personal thing. Journal on the other hand is a more general term, and it can record many things: a writing (like English language arts) journal, a science journal, a technical journal, a personal journal (aka, diary). So, all diaries are journals, but not all journals are diaries. I hope this helps, and if you need more explanation I can help!
@@01wonderful a diary is a journal, but a journal is not always a diary. Journals can be generic shared documents, personal or private accounts, technical or scientific logbooks, etc.

Mad props for what appears to be real transcribed CCs too. This is a big deal to a lot of people! (fist bump)
When quarantine first hit and people freaked out about being stuck at home i was like "Its not that bad. Yall are just overreacting" but after a while i realized that it isnt normal to be comfortable in complete isolation. For the past four years I've essentially imprisoned myself for no reason and all its done is slowly deteriorate my mental health. At this point its turned into full-blown agoraphobia. I don't even know what to do about it because my social anxiety prevents me from reaching out for help.

to anyone who see this, kind words go a long way.
I think that I'm the happiest I've ever been right now (after some stuff) but whenever someone is kind to me it really stands out because most people just ignore me due to me being "quiet" (severe social anxiety),
