Check out my reaction to Bojack Horseman: • DOCTOR REACTS TO BOJAC...
It's a Sin reviews: • DOCTOR REACTS TO IT'S ...
This Doctor Reacts video is looking at the South Park episode called "The Death of Eric Cartman". I cover Butter's suggestibility and what this means when working with suggestible people in real life, but also what poor Butters has to endure at the psychiatric hospital and the diagnosis he was given. Is he psychotic? Does he have repressed memory syndrome?
Let me know what you think.

The episode "you're getting old" is such a really good depiction of depression.
And people that exaggerate a disability for social excuses
Jadedness, not depression.
@@grabble7605 both
@@grabble7605 no it definitely can be both I do have depression I don't get depressed as often but my medications can cause that, but.. How stan was acting is how I have acted during long episodes of being depressed, I'd be feeling nothing, snapping at people on accident and abusing substances to get a dopamine rush to feel better Im not saying you're wrong I just wrote this on the account of I do really uh relate to that episode
I'd love to see you tackle the relationship between Craig and Tweek; it is interesting analyzing the way they first got together due to it 'inspiring' the town, only for in later seasons them to be genuinely in love.
I believe Tolkien and Nicole have a similar situation.
As a queer mom, Tweek and Craig are my favorites. . They are the only functional relationship on the entire show.
I love the Tweek and Craig episode where Trump is constantly tweeting about Tweek causing him MASSIVE anixiety and Craig helped Tweek talk through his issues with love and concern. It’s one of my favorite SP episodes of all time. ❤
@@Persephone_Personified Often with relationship-based episodes, South Park is deliberately obtuse and avoids actually offering serious advice, but Put It Down was an amazing example of how to deal with relationship issues. Sometimes, a partner isn't looking for pure logic and reasoning but understanding and empathy.
@@happy.time.boredom Tolkien and Nicole was different in some ways. Cartman wanted them to be together because they were both black, but Steve Black thought it was wrong/weird that Tolkien got together with the only black girl in town. From what I remember the town overall didn't really care all that much.
Craig seems to have a real type, blonde guys who are slightly damaged, if you recall the episode with Thomas. I love Craig and Tweek, and I have writing about it for fun, in-between serious writing.🙂
I feel like "super AIDS" is not South Park being bad, but Butter's parents being bad.
Ya its a similar gag to how Butters Parents will so easily lie all the time to butter just so he will listen to them. I am pretty sure Mr. Scotch said same thing about being afraid of the super devil who is more evil than the devil to Butters.
I thought it was fairly obvious, 'Don't be afraid of ghosts be afraid of something real like Super Aids' where it's something that's not real/blown out of proportion in a ghost story like way (especially with the example)
I have diagnosed schizo-affective bipolar disorder for about almost 3 years now watching your videos is really educating ! I love it !!! Who knew a South Park video can be educational lmao
Most people who actually watch this show.
Dr. Elliot forgot what show he was watching right before the probe came out...
When I was in middle school, kids would bully me all the time, and the school didn't do anything about it. I appreciate you pointing out that bullies do not have low self-esteem, I've seen way too many people online arguing that bullies have problems in their own life and people try to use that as a way to paint the bully as some sort of a victim, even though the bully is literally the opposite of a victim, they are a perpetrator.
...Yeah, but "Super-AIDS" is so much funnier.
See, I took psychology and they've said that REM sleep happens after 60-90 minutes after falling asleep. However, I used to have lucid dreams of skateboarding or bicycling and falling only to wake up less than 20 minutes after dozing off. It happened often enough that I was able to start keeping track of the time I was falling asleep vs when I'd wake up from those dreams
if you’re consistently sleep deprived, that can make you enter REM sleep earlier than you would otherwise. i believe this is called REM-rebound.
I also get into REM sleep really quickly, they're usually followed by a sleep paralysis. All from laying down to waking up from paralysis within the span of a nap, my most recent one happened just a few hours ago. My sleep schedule is extremely fucked and i'm struggling to fix it lmao😅
@@user-hn5zw8nq9m true, but these events happened when I was in high school. I was getting healthy levels of sleep back then. Now I'm constantly sleep deprived (3.5 to 4 hours every night) but I haven't had this happen to me in a long time
On the subject of psychiatric hospitals looking/feeling old I totally get that, I was hospitalized for a short period as a psychiatric ward in Sweden and that place was awful, I think I honestly felt worse being in there than I did when I wasn't. I'll never forget that when my mom came to visit me the first thing she said to me was something along the lines of "Couldn't they at least use a brighter color" refer to how the walls were all gray or white. I dunno how it is in most other places but I never had any good experiences with that place, everything from un-friendly staff to one of the nurses at the place telling me to try electroshock therapy when I was in my hospital room crying heavily because I felt overwhelmed and didn't wanna continue with life or anything.
Very similar or even worse epxierience in Poland.
About a year ago I checked myself during bipolar episode tied with alcohol abuse tied with self-flagellating out of guilt of said abuse.
I landed on pretty unlucky timing because covid quarantined 3 out of 4 sectors so there were no longer very specialized areas, just open 8 bed rooms, two male rooms and one female.
First day after check-in I wake up to some woman searching me for smokes and I spent rest of the week trying to get out, constantly harrasing psychiatrist who gave me a
referral, finally striking a deal that I will wait for the end of the week for basic evaluation if he will give me some books to pass time.
But I admit in short term at least this experience helped me with self-destructive behavior, because place was so awful I was locked into survival mode.
Bonus anecdote: Bed next to me was Ukrainian portrait artist who spoke only english, but obviously spoke more languages because he was reacting to polish but never spoke polish, ukrainian, or russian himself. In short, he leeched to me because not knowing what mistake it will be, I admitted to speak english fluently, so I was hearing all week how he was reincarnation of Jesus, who was also a famous painter, who was also a special ops sniper. He was very annoying but clearly an intelligent and talented man and to this day I am not sure if he was really believing it, or was intentionally misbehaving because he simply didn't have any other place to go.
That's a thing, even in "rich" Luxembourg. Not that bad by far, but you really do feel that the psychiatric unit (in all-specialities hospitals) tend to be the last getting "updated"
concerning just infrastructure and medical devices. Just a random example being manual/mechanic hospitals beds when in the other wards they have been automatised long ago. I even somehow understand, because psychiatric patients may generally be the least likely to have purely physical emergencies. And as hospitals have to watch their finances too, it can't be denied a certain logic that they put possibly more acute (physically speaking) wards first. Like an ICU would likely have the most modern devices first.
In what concerns the staff members, from my experience it seems at least to have evolved a little for the better.
As at teenager I ended up in a ward that was just terrible. (I was there by force, dealing with sever anorexia and being heavily underweight. So I had to take weight, which was already bad enough, and one time I was crying desperately in my room precisely because it was so terrible for to just be forced to take weight and seemingly noone caring for how I felt inside, for how sick and tired I was of being reduced to a number on the scale. They told me to stop crying, because it would burn to many calories and thus endangering the obligatory growth of that number on the scale. They then threatening me to put me under sedatives if I would not stop crying. Just one incident...) I was traumatized and terrified for more than a decade, completely refusing to even consider a hospitalization in such a ward ever again. I still got so bad in November 22 that I actually accepted - and luckily it did really help me back then.
But there still are big differences between different hospitals.
And mental health just still is taken less seriously, sadly often enough even inside the medical community.
I did not expect to see South Park on this channel. Makes sense though. Behind all the humour, there is some serious topics and messages being covered
His done a few, this isn't the first south park vid he did
@@XHUERO3yeah I honestly forgot that he did that as well and only watched them a week ago but I’ve only gotten into South Park a few months ago so that explains my ignorance about him already covering it a bit
I’m a family medicine physician in the US. I don’t do inpatient psych but I do inpatient medicine. In my hospital, when we have an agitated patient who is lashing out (most often I see this in sun downing geriatric patients with baseline dementia) the first course is always frequent reorientation, minimizing external stimuli (ie vitals checks, telemetry, etc), keeping the blinds open, and so on. If that doesn’t work then we’d consider a small dose of a second gen antipsychotic like Zyprexa because it has a PO and IM option. The very last option for an aggressive patient would be soft restraints for the shortest duration possible. Restraining patients is associated with worse clinical outcomes, and increases incidence of rhabdo
On the subject of confusingly vivid dreams (by the way, have you ever covered sleep paralysis?), I had a confusing experience once while suffering from sleep deprivation due to incessantly noisy neighbours. I had started to sleep on the floor of a small room because it was the only space that wasn't directly beneath the 24/7 party people upstairs, and one morning I woke up needing to use the toilet so I stumbled to the bathroom only to find, in place of the toilet, a hole in the floor! I was standing there, racking my brain as to how/why someone would have broken in and ripped out the toilet bowl without waking me up, when a strange thing happened; I started to "hallucinate" a wall of patterned carpet weave in and out of my vision. Over a couple of seconds the image fixed and I woke up to find the carpet was the floor of the room I was sleeping in, and my initial "waking up" was actually a dream! I got up and went to the toilet and was relieved (!) to find it was intact.
One detail I noticed, after waking up, was the difference in quality of the dream of "waking up" and actually waking up; in reality I was aware of the cold floor on my bare feet, which I didn't have during the dream. I have had other confusing "waking up" dreams but I have found that focussing my awareness on physical sensations (or lack of) can allow me to recognise when I am dreaming (a kind of low-level "lucid dreaming")!
"If there's a problem, take the oxygen away from it."
You really do need to keep the metaphor intact - 'fire', not 'problem' - for that to not be murder advice though.
Very educational and entertaining as always Doctor Elliot!
4:52 I love how you were all ready to agree with Butters’ dad and then…that 😅
My mom is almost 70, and after an accident she had constant seizures as a teen and she had to do electroshock therapy and it sounded like hell
If you havent already, you should absolutely watch "city sushi"
Mental health professionals in most countries have mandatory reporting laws, which very often stand directly opposed to people's human rights. I hate it when people in that field say that, while having a position of authority over the people they see
Aren't most of these laws about protecting other people? Though I do agree that it's wrong that you can't get fully private mental help.
I love these videos! As always you're knocking it out.
Will say re: Super Aids comment. I feel like Butters' dad saying that is more supposed to be a reflection on how incredibly dumb he is as a person and how unreflective he is. He's just as suggestible as Butters. I mean...look at how both of his parents just take everything the doctor says as gospel. They're literally watching their child get booty non-coned and are like, "Yes, yes. Makes sense." They only are able to parent because they understand "What a parent is supposed to do" but they put no thought behind it.
I've always shared a kinship with Butters. I wasn't always as kind as Butters is, but I def suffered similarly to him. I feel like on my journey to getting better I've found my inner Butters to care for and it has made me much kinder. I do hope one day when the show ends, Matt and Trey have him finally get one over on Cartman. Having Butters grow would be the ultimate send off ala Kenny dying in the movie (spoilers).
do you watch the entire episode or just clips of it? feels like your reaction suggests some scenes are missing but it's barely noticeable. good vid either way
I still giggled when they brought-up SUPER AIDS (TM). Context is everything.
One on my psychopathology teachers always tolds us that a payient is to be consideres is his or her cultural context. He often took the example of a patient who believed himself tonbe possessed by a Djinn. The Psychiatrist hence dealt with the Djinn in order to treat his pathology.
As far as restraint goes, it’s still relatively common, after I had a post octal psychosis episode in 2020 I woke up strapped down all over, granted I had torn the arm off a gurney and was apparently well on my way to total escape when they sedated me but it was quite disconcerting to wake up in a unfamiliar location with no wat to move while strangers refused to acknowledge me. Had an absolute monster of a headache at the time too so I just kinda wanted to hold my head
15:40
Fun fact, the red bulb the doctor's holding was supposed to be the original one but they felt it was a little too much lol
"Take breaks, use simple language"
I think Court appointed intermediaries should just mass produce cue cards with that advice on it at this point
Can't shake the feeling that people doing studies on the causes of bullying might have an ulterior motive, if they keep looking for evidence that bullies are the *real* victims despite never finding any.
South Park Tsst Season 10 Ep 7 would be a interesting Episode for Parenting Psychology
The only time I had a lucid dream was when I fell off a cliff or jump. I don’t remember I was really young. It felt so real like I was actually falling before I hit the ground. I woke up, sweating and breathing heavy.
Sidenote I have oppositional defiance disorder the way they treated it in the early 2000s was to put me in a straight jacket. That’s what happened to me. When I was a kid lost control of my disability
Have you ever done a video on Derrick Bentley? I was just reminded of the case when you said how you often have cases of people with learning difficulties and also the suggestibility of Butters you mention here and in the previous South Park video.
I learnt about it from GCSE Drama when we looked at Let Him Have It
Totally should look at the Chinese guy’s split personality
"Whatever traumatized him we'll find it"
Found it
People talk about over-medicalizing, but I am of a very different school of thought: why on earth would I live with a negative trait that, through medication, I could avoid? I mean, sure, if there are severe side effects or some other reason to avoid the medication, then fine. But if there are no significant consequences, why *not* medicate to simply improve behavior?
Bluntly, isn't that what people do every morning when they have a cup of coffee? Or at a social event where they drink alcohol? Or take pain medication? We all have feelings and behaviors that just simply don't serve us, so we might as well just get rid of them.
I hope you watch episodes like 'Cartman finds love' and 'Cupid ye' since it becomes clear that Cartman is actually the one suffering from psychosis in the show, not Butters.
Did the freemium video get taken down? I saw it mentioned in the other south park episode but can't seem to see it on the channel
It's still up, it's the south park addiction video
I think you would like American Dad, it handles a lot of mental health issues and family dynamics.
can somwone tell me if restraints like that were present in the state of Colorado at the time
How to deal with a patient with alternative, or even delusional believe reminds me of how I was taught to deal with a patient with morgellons disease. Instead of performing repeated and wasted testing, or trying to find ways to convince the patient of their mental illness, you instead show empathy on how stressful their condition is and try and get them to seek psychiatric help for the stress they are under dealing with their condition.
Here is my theory on bullying: Bullying is a spectrum of behaviors some of which are socially acceptable and some of which are not. Because of personality differences, when someone feels "bullied" the other person may be not be intending to do so. They could be very assertative and extraverted. And as a result of not processing those emotions in a healthy way, as a person ages they think that's the way to interact with people in certain contexts or that it's acceptable behavior. So they feel because they were hurt, it's perfectly reasonably that other people experience the same thing.
Heres a hypothetical: If demons only tormented people through dreams or in the mind ad hallucinations, how could we tell the difference between a spiritual based assault and mental illness? If of course, such a thing were real.
Something I have been curious about is dreaming. I have something called Aphantasia where I can't visualise anything. I just see black when I close my eyes. But I'm pretty sure I do see images when I dream so does that mean that closing your eyes and trying to imagine something is a different function to when you're dreaming
When it comes to bullying, I always presumed it was merely a projection to distract and compensate for the bully's own inadequacies.
Normally self confident individuals lack the motivation to do so because they have no personal need to tear people down.
Just my take.
Since schizophrenia also came up in this episode, I'd love to hear your opinion on the series D!rt. One of the protagonists in that lives with schizophrenia, and it's a frequently discussed topic on the show
What about people with hypnagogia and lucid dreaming? I find my brain harmonises my memories with things that didnt happen through my lucid dreams and hypnagogia. How do you deal with that in forensic psychiatry?
🔥 please Analyzes 🙏

Hey! I really like your videos and have watched quite a few now. I'm not sure if you've seen/heard of it, but you may enjoy reacting to Big Mouth - it's super funny but also deals with puberty and adolescence (literal Hormone Monsters), but in later seasons and episodes has episodes about depression, anxiety and other things along those lines.
I stayed in a private mental health hospital in Connecticut in the US for self harm. They didn't use restraints. If you were a harm to yourself you were placed on 24 hour watch until you proved you could be responsible, usually just the first day or two.
My father was in a private hospita, in the same area, on the psych ward floor because he was suicidal. Unfortunately it was at the start of COVID so we weren't allowed in the hospital to visit, but he was never in restraint. To my knowledge they didn't use restraints either. It was the same thing as my experience with the 24 hour watch.
Super bug in the U.S. anyway i believe is Used to describe drug resistant variations of whatever infection or disease.
6:36 I had a dream before where I knew I was dreaming and could actively do what I want, this type of dream only happened once in my life and I would love for it to happen again.
This dream happened when I was maybe 13 or 14, I'm 26 and it has not happened again
It's called Lucid Dreaming. Look it up, you can learn it. It's really fun and can even be useful.
I had a dream that I was drinking a giant margarita. I woke up on the bathroom floor and there was salt on the toilet seat…😣
@@kunstlerischeintelligenz471 Pretty amazing, I'm going to take your advice and see if there are any ways I can increase the likelihood that it happens, thank you
South Park is just so good at presenting moral lessons. This one got you reflecting on how people with mental illness are treated, which I think is exactly what they're going for.
But, to make it funny, it happens to suggestible, innocent little Butters.
If the "treatment" had been realistic, such as a lobotomy or other "treatments" from olden times, it would have been much easier to just shrug it off. The futuristic machines makes you realize that we should treat people carefully and appropriately today and in the future.
If you need to pee in a dream just wake up you need to pee bad
i can lucid dream pretty much every night its rather neat
I been restrain and in the state hospital palms is trash sash good
Great. Today I found out from a southpark reaction video that Im schizophrenic. Fuck my life.Sideways.
3:04 Counterpoint: "Traditional beliefs" _should_ be dismissed if they are in fact incorrect and/or detrimental. It is the morally and intellectually right course. The very phrase 'traditional beliefs' is just a weak euphemism for superstitious drivel.
“Drug use disorder” is also BS.
funny, i don't rem, and to answer no they don't know why , how ever i have bene mistaken for coma , well i jsut sleep, all thier tests al lthat garbage waste of my time, and still nothjing, so expalin away that if you cna , , and by sleep i mean literal days some times 4 or more days, , when i wake up tohugh it a well it is anotehr matter, and well at any rate good luck out there and may the odds be ever in your favor, , toatly chmapion episode once more, shjaring your expertise and a keen intelect, i always enjoy these interspections ,
Why is his forehead so red?
Hey, please react to "psychology of eric cartman" by blooms,🎉
Lit ep
Speaking of bullies, please do a reaction to Key & Peele’s “A Wise Bully” sketch!
Love your channel
Would like to see ur take on Its Always Sunny when psycho Pete comes back. Dennis and Dee's dialogue was a great look into the taxpayers mind of how to deal with mental illness.
Thanks
14:05 In 2012 I spent two days at a psych ward in a hospital here in the states, and as they were showing me my room I noticed the bed had restraints on the sides. The nurse noticed my fear and said, “oh don’t worry those are only used in emergencies”. I’m guessing since where I was staying was for people who weren’t violent that maybe they’d use them for someone who becomes violent until they could be transferred somewhere else?
You have to do “What about Bob?”.
You just have to man.
Please.
So cute
Corporal punishment to correct behaviour doesn't work. Instead explain to your kids why their behaviour is wrong. "Spanking" only teaches kids that might makes right.
isnt it sad and ornic that it is a defiance, and a behaovurs issue , when the adults make children feel like garbage, but hey lets jsut keep blaming he children for eh adults mistakes, what a hytporcite man, ouch yuk, the only thing we are rebeling form are people and eh lieks of you ors and more, , that is the real issue, and when he audlt doesnt get their way form thier own problems that they refuse to deal with , what do theydo, they drag down al laround them, , and you are no diferent , and there is nothing that you cna say to change me or my mind, , but sure, live form new york it's aturday night,
Linking health to morality in society has done such catastrophic damage to the whole of human civilization (modern and otherwise), that my mind cannot even begin to imagine a world where that damage is repairable.
The damage done just for men alone incapable of seeking help just because of what society has breed into them still causing problems for us all now means we still have a very very long way to go.
“Fixed false beliefs that are unshakable” aka religion.
First!
More south park! yes
What happened to your forehead? It looks like you're bleeding
Looks like a break out
This episode was gold. Now I want to re watch the series.
I've got to ask, How many times have you sent someone home telling them that what they are experiencing are simply normal emotions and thoughts? Anybody go home without being drugged? now we keep our hopelessly insane in academia and government jobs instead. Oh, you forgot electroshock therapy. I knew a girl in high school who went through that "treatment". By the way I'm the poor man's psychiatrist, a retired bartender. -> I did't mean my comment to sound as negative as it does but i'm not a poet and i'm just used to communicating with drunks. sorry.
Maybe you think psychiatrists treat everybody's issues with drugs because you're a bartender who sells people drugs to treat their issues exclusively.
I'm not a practicing bartender but that's projection.
@@FrancisR420 i've never heard of one that doesn't and i used to sell non-alcoholic drinks too AND i listened to my customers problems. couldn't always help them but i tried.
THANKS BRO , full episodes are better than non context scenes .
i recommend you :
S 5 Ep. 4 - *Scott Tenorman Must Die*
S 5 Ep. 14 - *Butters Very Own Episode*
Great episodes but not good for the channel.
I am from Poland. Back in 2017 Ispent a month in a psych ward for teens. Restraints were used. Mostly on the autistic guy and the highly suicidal girl even though she was constantly watched by someone from the personnel.
Perspective of being too honest with anyone there was really scary as you couldn't predict the consequences. I got admitted voluntarily and had the legal option to get discharged (as I was 17yo) and that made me feel more safe. I stayed as long as I was advised to but still left in worse mental state that I got admitted. It was traumatising and in the following years even when I was at my lowest I did not tell anyone as I was having a panic attack while thinking of being in the isolation again. And I was aware I would end up being admitted to the psych ward at this point. Adolescent psychiatry is a joke in this country so the restraints used on daily basis weren't anything surprising
I’m glad restraint isn’t common in the UK. By the time I was 17 I had been in 4 points over 5 time (I’m in the US). Interesting note is that every time I had been put in 4 points I was misdiagnosed with BPD and I’ve been hospitalized several times as an adult properly diagnosed with Autism and other developmental disabilities and I’ve not been put in restraints for doing the same stuff that got me put in restrain when I was diagnosed with BPD. Also it was two different hospitals. I was also in a treatment center for children and teens and I was restrained there too when I was 16 and they did targeted pressure points to gain control of me leaving bruises all over my body. I’ve had horrible experiences. One time when I was in restraints I was crying and begging them to let me up so I could go pee so their response was to have a male tech come in and put a bed pan under me. I’m honestly so traumatized just from the amount of time I’ve spent in restraints and seclusion. I’ve been secluded for days before.
I have had the dreams where you wake up knowing something nuts happened last night but then and then have to seriously consider the fact that you were sleeping 20 mi away from where the memory takes place with no memory of traveling.
This is a comedy! They are no portraying mental healthcare in a negative light, if anything they are satirizing the misconceptions about the field.
Also, it is not fair to criticize South Park for what a character says. Stephen Stotch talking about "super aids" is a testament to his ignorance and stupidity, not the writers'.
I saw a business advertising neurofeedback as a treatment for pretty much everything from depression and anxiety to ADHD and migraines. Do you know anything about neurofeedback as a therapy and whether or not it's efficacious? It sounds entirely too good to be true, and I'm kind of assuming that it isn't. However, it would be really cool if it was.
I was taught from early ages 3 people in the world bullies and the bullied, and the people who don't care or fight back, and it's not a child thing it's a lifetime thing every age group has
Ongina in the background 😂
I saw it so late and died 😂
I think butters displays behaviors of autism, from his stereotpy to calm his nerves/things that make him feel at ease like rubbing his fists together, not understanding the room and what's expected of him in social settings. Also his suggestibility is pretty high indicator of autism too, leading questions that already have an desired answer from the questioner leads butters to go along with whatever others have to say or what they want to hear. Love butters so much he definitely doesnt have the support he needs 😭
We for sure have restraints in the US. But it’s usually with aggressive clients who try to elope.
2:23 Ok, so I know astrology is bunk, lol. Today it's a fun way to try to find a pattern in personalities (and us humans love our patterns), but no, the way the stars are aligned have nothing to do with it 😅
BUT, what I find interesting is there's correlations between the time of year a person is born and susceptibility to physical and mental illness. For example, there are higher rates of schizophrenia in people born in winter-early spring, and higher rates of social anhedonia and schizoid features in those born in June and July. There's lower rates of lung cancer in those born in winter, and higher rates of colon and rectal cancer in those born in September.
Obviously, there's biological reasons, like how in winter there's a drop in Vitamin D levels, or how the availability of certain fruits and vegetables changes throughout the year, or how there's varying viruses or allergens circulating each season. The timing affects fetal development depending on the trimester they're in.
But still, it's interesting that people centuries ago noticed patterns in personality based on the timing of their birth. It's just their framework to explain it was wildly off.
Thank you Dr.Elliot this is cool stuff😊
1:36 It's almost as if that was never a serious theory of any sort and just a coping mechanism for the targets of bullying (or a Fruedian excuse for people who want to believe the default state of humans is perfect fluffy goodness)...
We got a psychotic neighbour regularly vandalizing his appartment at day and night. Cops are often called but rarely do anything. Sometimes they take him en force to a hospital, where he stays for a few days or up to a week, released supposedly with prescribed medication. He stops taking it and a house of around 20 people is back to square one. been going on for about a year now. Till someone flips and takes a club to his head, it's never going to end. Ah, the joy of waking several times a night to sounds of hammering, thumping, crashing , death threats and insults screamed at the top of some other neighbours lungs.
Anyway, our preferential treatment seems to be: Here's your meds. Everyone else: Suck it up, buttercup.
13:37 I can speak for the Netherlands Restrains like 13:27 are basically illegal here for hospitals to use since 2018/2019. :)
I didn’t know about the negative symptoms of schizophrenia continuing. That gives me insight into the lives and diagnoses of people I have known.
In Denmark they do use restraints, though only in the most extreme circumstances. Like if the patient is a danger to themselves, other patients or staff. The retrained patient is never left alone or to long in the restraints.
They also use ECT treatments here. I had 9 sessions, when I had major depression and no medication worked (they had tried 26 different types). And since I was on the verge of ending everything, I was given the ECT. It did help, though I still have memory issues to this day(it’s been 5 years since I had the treatments). Also turns out I have an extremely rare gene error in my liver, which means my body responses very different or not at all to certain medications. So the doctors think that might be why the meds they tried didn’t work. But they found that out after I had the ECT treatments and after my psychologist pretty much begged the doctors to do the dna test for the genetic error.
I don't know if it has a name but I sometimes go through something like lucid dreaming but the opposite and yet it still has me questioning what is reality.
I'm neuro divergent and my mental images and dreams are super vague (sorta, hard to explain) and sometimes if someone wakes me up to tell me something and I go right back to bed, I have no idea if it was real or not
The question about restraints reminded me of an interesting video from John Green about the only mental health clinic in Sierra Leone. They practiced even worse restraints "chaining" but noted that it was due to lack of medication. Pretty interesting look at mental health treatment in other countries. ruclips.net/video/Xk_SfS5UTVs/видео.html
I realize that 5 months is probably a lil too old of a video to share an interesting subject but, you're curiosity of the history of psychology and advances in other countries made me want to share the dark story of The Pennhurst Institution in the U.S.
The story is technically way too long to share in a comment. However, the history of the Pennhurst Institution shows a dark look into how American medicine treated the "feeble minded" and disabled from the 1800s up into the 70s and 80s, all the while the government and society chose to turn a blind eye to cases just like Pennhurst all over the US for decades.
I made the very regrettable choice of choosing the subject for one of my first major research papers as a teenager with untreated depression and anxiety, despite knowing how overwhelming essays are for me in general.
The best way to start learning about it is to look for things about "Suffer the Little Children", the news documentary that was the very first media to expose Pennhurst for what it was.

RUclips Doctors and their famous phrases:
Dr. Mike: "Chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions!"
Dr. Carthy: "Fixed, false beliefs, held with 100% certainty, despite all evidence to the contrary!"
Mama Dr Jones: “Take a pregnancy test!”
I think until the age of 18 unless clinically depressed or in extreme cases. Then anti-depressants should be a last resort. Im a teenager i feel out of place and judged... Yeah.. Because your a teenager. You dont give teenagers medications to repress their sex drives because they started getting distracted and attracted to people in school.
I was suspicious that Butter's "testings" wasn't a standard practice
