    I believe this to be a case of the condition “erotomania”. A condition where the effected believes that someone is in love with them and possibly thinks that the target person communicates with the effected through code. Usually the effected targets someone of a higher social status. She probably genuinely believed that the pastor loved her and was trying to, or succeeding in communicating with her. It also explains why she seemed “normal”, as this was likely one of her only delusions. As for her death, that’s a whole different story.

      This is often a symptom of schizophrenia. Talika tweeted about hearing 2 voices and was trying to handle it on her own. The sad thing is schizophrenia can't be self-treated and the fact her family was in denial of how she passed could be an example of the stigma around mental health in the black community (I myself am black before anyone reading takes this the wrong way). It's sad they didn't notice what was wrong because she had moved away from home. I don't blame them though, there's no way they could have known how bad it was

      The death reminds me of another "mysterious death" that sounds like a mental health episode. I wish I could remember her name. But before her death she was acting very strange. She called 911 saying people were in her apartment. You can hear her roommate in the background saying "no one is here, look, there's no one here". She believed people had broken in and that she could hear them talking and going through things while on the phone with 911 but no one was there and her roommate was trying her best to show her no one was there. Then one day she went missing. Security cameras showed her walking her dog, and it looked like she was talking to someone who wasn't there. She then took off. Her body was found in the water. They believe she thought someone was after her and she went to the water to hide then died. Her family is in denial, doesn't think she had any mental health disorders and thinks she was murdered. Another similar death was Elisa Lamb.
      Another one that sounds very similar to this, Mitrice Richardson. She ran up a restaurant bill then tried to leave without paying, which was odd behavior for her. They noted other odd behavior from her. She was arrested for it, never gave her a psych evaluation and just released in the middle of the night in freezing temperatures and went missing.

    As a person who suffers with psychosis; I completely understand this "break" of hers. I almost feel as if she wasn't getting enough sleep. Being a doctor is unimaginably difficult. And the things she may have seen could have contributed to this episode.
    It's genuinely very common with psychosis to feel as if they are being watched, stalked, intimidated or ridiculed.
    When my psychosis was incredibly bad, and I was sectioned. I began to think there were people outside my house, people chanting at me and every person that walked by was plotting against me. It got so bad that even when I was watching a football match (soccer), when the crowd were doing their respective teams chants, I could hear the crowd chanting and plotting to kill me.
    From my own experience, this seems like a telltale sign of someone falling into mental disrepair.

      It really bothers me when people use big platforms like YT to play devil's advocate/imply there's something else going on, based on symptoms of a medical condition that they don't understand. A logically related event is not needed to trigger episodes like this, and the insistence that "something must have happened" feels a little gross, akin to sensationalism.

      This is genuinely one of the saddest things I've seen in a while. I don't agree with stalking, but 2 things makes me have some sympathy: 1. I've not heard of her sending threats to the man/his family (if she did, I stand corrected), 2. She didn't have a good marriage and said her husband was abusive, making me wonder if she listened to the preacher's songs and sermons to get her through, grew fixated, and (because of her condition) latched onto that. Even people who are mentally altogether can obsess, so her condition exacerbated it.
      But at the core, she seemed very sweet (and was reportedly so by those who knew her), she was smart, she seemed to want someone to take care of and share sweetness with. It's so doggone sad!

      @PestoMayo manic episodes can last for a year and can take a year to develop. I huge misconception is that someone “snaps” and something triggers the episode when in reality it’s more common for manic episodes to slowly develop overtime until they hit there peak. And then they slowly come back down.

    • @keys5595
      @keys5595 Год назад +3

      @PestoMayo very true, I’m a undergrad in psychology and when I learned that I was surprised as well. Manic episodes can come with psychosis such as bipolar 1 disorder. But often they are described as being feelings of great “purpose” like you can do anything and no repercussions will happen which ultimately results in risky behavior and extreme changes in mood. I think the problem is that episode is commonly misused to mean something that “just happens” when actually the real definition of “episode” suggests the opposite. So while I agree with you, I think it’s just a problem with people misusing the word when discussing maniac episodes. Because most people don’t know that a typical maniac episode takes weeks to months to slowly develops and that same amount of time to come down. So people just assume “episode” means short and abruptly.

    • @keys5595
      @keys5595 Год назад +2

      @PestoMayo that’s why most videos of someone showing there “manic episode” is just completely false. Because you can’t know when it’s going to happen. There are signs but those sings are there for weeks to months. So they would have to be recording everyday to accurately catch it. If you ever see a video of someone trying to show what a maniac episode is and they just start acting weird out of nowhere. Then they are lying. You can see someone gradually build up but often times it’s overlooked as well. That’s why I’m so shocked people where trying to find telekas “trigger” because there doesn’t have to be one for Bipolar, ESPECIALLY one as bad as hers (assuming she has this of course which I think it’s safe to say she does).

    My hearts breaks for Teleka. I was diagnosed with psychosis at the age of 14 when I attempted to run away from home, while I was running away on the streets, my dad was running up to catch me. I could’ve died as I would run and cars would pass by. Fortunately my dad caught up to me, a stranger had stopped me and next thing I know I was in an ambulance. After, that everything was so vague. The next thing I know I was at a psych ward with other kids with similar problems of their own. Psychosis is scary. After that incident, I would run away 2x more times. Eventually this stopped. Why I no longer experience psychotic moments, I do experience mania due to my bi-polar 1 disorder that was diagnosed in par with my psychosis. What Teleka experienced was definitely really real, that love that she created in her head was so strong she was willingly to stay and be with that pastor. Only those who’ve experienced delusions or mania could understand. I empathize so much with Teleka.
    This year ironically, I created a false delusion in my mind and fail in “love”with someone who one was in love with someone else, and someone whom I only met once. However, this fantasy or illusion of us being together was so strong that I only ended getting hurt. We no longer speak to one another as it ended in a negative manner over text and we’ve blocked one another on social media. So I can imagine Teleka and this illusion she had with being with that pastor.
    May her beautiful soul and spirit rest in peace. She deserved all the love in the world. 🕊️

      It seems like she wasn't treated well in her marriage, so maybe that could be why she retreated into fantasy where she couldn't get hurt. I could see the preacher's songs and sermons helping get her through some dark days and her latching onto that. However, because she was unwell, she took the fantasy too far.
      She was a pretty young woman who was very intelligent, sweet, and had a great job. She was going to be someone more. And it's all the more tragic because it didn't need to happen and she could have had the resources to stop it. I so wish she'd not forgotten her money but had checked into the hotel instead (though not absolutely certain she didn't meet with foul play).

      @@iamjackspyramidshapedhelmet I never said it's a common thing, but it does happen. I don't like using anecdotal evidence, but just to make an example it happened to a guy I knew, Max. Perfectly normal middle aged man, married with kids, living happily in Alaska. Suddenly over the course of a few days he just started acting super bizarre and sometimes violent. By the third day he disappeared without any of his belongings. He was found some months later in California as a crazy bum rambling about Jesus. His family said nothing happened to set him off that they're aware of. He never went back to his family. Instead he made his way to Michigan where he continued his crazy antics and once tried choking me in a gas station. Apparently according to his cousin who moved around with him, the county psychologists said he had some late onset schizophrenia. They believe one of his parents had it. (They also suspected other disorders too, perhaps borderline personality.) He was just a rare case that didn't experience it earlier in life. So at this point anything could've set it off. My point is, while it's not common, it does happen. And sometimes it happens without much explanation. At least Max was able to get diagnosed.

      As someone who experiences mild psychosis, I can say that it actually can be really hard to notice. Not to mention she was a doctor and therefore already would have been showing signs of stress, which some people might have attributed to that. Sometimes I have no idea what I should and shouldn’t say to people, but sometimes I’m aware enough to understand that even though I KNOW what’s happening is true, other people wouldn’t believe me. Sometimes I avoid telling people about my delusions because I know they’ll say it isn’t real (even though at the time I believe it is), or sometimes because I’m scared they may call the police or my family to inform them of my delusional state. It isn’t always easy to spot, especially if you don’t live with the person or if the person is always busy while you interact with them (work).

He asked if she needed help, she replied no. What else was he supposed to do?
      Like, of all the people involved in this tragedy, I think it's her family and coworkers who could feel guilt, because they can be haunted by this idea that they didn't notice these changes in her. Or even the Gospel singer, I can kinda see how he would be bothered.

    Her obsession with Marvin Sapp is called erotomania, the belief that someone -- often a famous person -- is in love with you and that you are in a relationship. This delusion is usually accompanied by another psych disorder such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
    There's an Oscar-nominated movie about this called "The Story of Adele H" in which Adele Hugo, daughter of the famous French writer Victor Hugo, develops erotomania for her former fiance even though he had married someone else and moved to a different country. She spent the last 40 years of her life in a mental institution.
    Teleka's deterioration also reminds me of Olympic skater Debi Thomas, who became a brilliant surgeon, but then lost everything due to bipolar disorder and is now living in a rundown trailer.
    As the saying goes, "The struggle is real." My heart goes out to her and her family.

      So do I. It seems like she was having a forbidden affair with someone and they only communicated through diffrent Twitter accts, and also whenever they met up at that hotel, which is why she didn't take her own car. She fell in love. He didn't. That's when a forbidden relationship becomes dangerous for the married party. He had ignored her for 2 days. She felt used and probably threatened him with exposure. She worked around doctors who are trained to recognize mental illness. Her coworkers said on that particular day she was acting strange. She was scared. She knew he was powerful enough to have her killed.

    as for "what triggered her manic episode," there isn't always a trigger at all. often it just happens.
    I think it's pretty obvious that she was in a different state of mind (mania or psychosis, not drugs) during this - it's pretty easy to spot when you've been in a similar state of mind yourself. mental disorders are nothing to scoff at, and a lot of the time peoples' struggle goes completely unnoticed until it gets too big to ignore, such as what seems to have happened here.

    Her behavior leading up to and especially on that night she went missing is pretty troubling... She was very unwell and people were none the wiser, until that night when even then I kinda feel they weren't concerned enough. They at least acknowledged that her behavior was unusual... but in hindsight you wish they'd done more for her.

    First, I do want to say that my heart, thoughts and prayers go out to Teleka’s family and friends. To have a loved one go missing, not knowing why they disappeared or where they disappeared to, must be the most horrendous thing to go through. This is why we, as a society, must stop stigmatizing mental illness as taboo.
    Mental illness does not discriminate, does not care about the person’s financial status, does not care about the ethnicity of a person, does not care about the gender of the person, and does not care about the age of the person. Mental illness can occur in anyone at anytime, so we must be more vigilant about our loved one’s mental health, and about our own mental health; and, we must do everything possible to make sure that our mental health is taken care of, just like we take care of our physical health.
    I think that there’s a high probability that she had one or more of the following: Erotomania, Obsessive Love Disorder, Celebrity Worship Syndrome, and/or schizophrenia. I honestly think that she did believe that Reverend Sapps was in love with her, and she was incredibly frightened for her life.
    There are going to be many, many unanswered questions about Dr. Patrick, and why her mental health deteriorated in a quick manner. Why didn’t her coworkers witness her erratic behavior? Why didn’t any of them report her erratic behavior to their superiors? Was she able to “hold” it together in front of her colleagues and patients?
    I just hope and pray that she’s resting peacefully in her eternal slumber, and is helping to take care of the angels in Heaven. Teleka sounded like a sweet, superbly kindhearted, highly intelligent, extremely talented - her voice was that of an angel, and very beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.

    I have gone through a traumatic experience that made me lose touch with reality so I can say that it sucks she didn't have anyone close to her to help her. During my episode, I was lucid enough at one point to call the police from a motel room and I got treated in a hospital. I don't have total memory of what happened but I remember thinking I was on a Greyhound bus going to hell and that everyone with me was going to hell too. Luckily I never really got violent but I was really close to walking out into the cold in Wyoming.

    What a horribly dark and tragic story all-around. It's absolutely terrifying what your own mind can put you through, especially when the illness or condition is left untreated. Rest In Peace, Taleka. You deserved so much better.

    It’s scary to me how one day some people just snap, maybe there was a reason for her manic episodes but it’s scary to think there wasn’t at all. Usually with cases like these families see mental health deteriorating over time but sometimes you never know what someone is going through.

      Most of the time, mental illness can worsen due to stress and external factors. So, it's not no reason, she just was unfortunately never treated.

    She definitely had psychosis, the connecting patterns, erratic behaviors, moving to be with someone, obsessions, delusions…it’s sad how no one noticed…I’ve had psychosis before and luckily it got caught early and my family noticed as none of my classmates did. I always check up on ppl to see with they are okay bc of this experience. It’s sad that no one could help her before it was to late…

      Care to expand upon your experience with psychosis?
      Have meds fully helped you?
      What do you struggle with still?
      I hope you have found peace as the people who I know have these issues struggle greatly with staying out of jail & prison.

      What's wrong with you people in the comments? People are not going to notice something a lot of time because people with MI can hide things well. Not only that, but just because you try to check up on someone doesn't mean you know if they're well. They can hide that and lie about it as well.

    This is tragic....this is a perfect example of how stressful life really gets. we have no idea what people are dealing with. the saddest part our society is far from empathetic. Its so easy for people to say "they should have done this or that". But none of us know what they going thru. Also shows money don't buy you happiness or peace of mind.

    I can see from her videos that she already looked unwell :( Even though she smiled and spoke cheerfully there was something unsettling and vacant in her gaze, as if she was battling an inner turmoil which she tried to mask with her smile. RIP Teleka

    I have a cousin in her 50’s one day just had a psychotic break after living a normal life for 50 years. She told us things we couldn’t believe and even ran away from what she was perceiving as threats. Once we couldn’t find her for over a week. Mental health is a very fragile thing. She even started to be paranoid against us, her family. We have to keep an eye on our loved ones 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I don’t know how recent this case is but I’m praying for her and her family

    I hope if people take away anything from this heartbreaking video, they understand that psychosis and mental illness can happen to anyone. Teleka was a doctor, she worked and studied hard and was obviously incredibly smart. If something seems off in your loved ones life, please pay attention. This type of stuff can happen out of nowhere, but there are usually at least some signs leading up to such an event.
