Vintage Psychiatric Interview | Psychotic Episode and Delirium in a Teenager

Same. It can be very easy to lie to yourself and pathologize yourself as an excuse to be lazy, selfish, or arrogant.

[@jolenea.8267]

We are about the same age and I relate to this guy on another level. I just recently came out of a psychotic episode that lasted around 1.5 years. I lost my memory, my feeling for time and even reality and was very paranoid most of the time. I had to drop out of high school 2 months before graduation because the hallucinations and delusions were too much to handle. I thought I was the devil, I thought that my family were clones. I am still not fully recovered but I learned a lot and I'm slowly starting to feel 'normal' again. I will start an online program to graduate from home in 3 days and I hope to be able to study criminology in the future. To everybody currently struggeling, don't give up on yourself, it gets better. To friends and family members of people with psychosis: don't give up on them, it may seem like you lost your loved one but they are in there. Much love to all ♡

I smoked laced weed with PCP and for half a year I wasn't the same person I felt I wasn't in control of my thoughts and actions it was terrifying. I dropped out of high school my junior year following that but now I'm much better started college early January this year about to finish my first semester. Hope things continue to get better for you and anyone else going through the same experience.

the world fails people like this. highly intelligent, well spoken people, who simply needed help with finding direction in life due to things out of their control. i get sad thinking of all the people who seek help, just to be turned away and become even more insane than going in simply because, there aren’t enough people who truly care, or at least, that’s the world we live in even today.

Well said

[@Valdeceata]

More than true. One more cent to add, the present world is actually _very_ incompetent when it comes to helping people such as this, they don't know or understand a thing they're doing, sadly. I believe they lack the capacities to do so as of now.

[@GGdmk]

Most people diagnosed as insane or crazy are, in fact, extremely intelligent. I joke that when one gets smart enough to start truly understanding all the mysteries of life, whatever it is they come to understand breaks the mind because it is far too unpleasant or disturbing for the human mind’s ability to deal with.

[@ibitha]

@@Valdeceata i believe that as well. i was telling my brother last night actually that i wish school taught us about the human species itself more. more than evolution. in depth about the human mind and why we feel disturbing or happy thoughts, because i figure, people just don’t know enough. even those who are meant to help people with mental health, i’ve struggled all my life and have had little help from people solely because, they didn’t know themselves how to handle it. but again, people don’t seem to care enough unless they are the ones experiencing it or are affected by it.

[@TAROTAI]

No, it is not an example of _tangential speech_ (and it's not _tangential __*_speak_* ) - so right out of the box you have proceeded inaccurately . The young man is speaking coherently and demonstrating logical and deductive thinking, including self-awareness of both his present state, as well as his hopes for the future - he even analyzes his drawings with thematic inference; so you are entirely off-base and _playing_ diagnostically with psychiatric classifications. Let me spell it out for you - tangential speech or tangentiality is a communication disorder in which the train of thought wanders and demonstrates a lack of focus, and importantly, *never* returns to the initial topic of the conversation. Now, go read some Alfred Adler or Benjamin Rush for a refresher course in psychoanalysis & psychiatric therapy.

[@thomasdupont7186]

@@TAROTAI hi there, thanks for the name dropping and your patronizing. Just in case, are you fluent in French ? Because i’am and after watching the video again with the subtiles : i noticed that they were giving more "reasonable talk » to this kid than he actually says in French, actually sometimes the subtiles says something enterily different, which is commercial honestly. There is indeed many moments in this interview when the focus and his train of thought goes in many directions without any conclusion or even rational ending. It doesn’t stop during many moments. I’m pretty sure he’s more stable during this interview, but we can « imagine » what his speech was like before. He goes from one symbol to another and never truly explain (meaning he kinda thinks we already adresse familiar with his ésotérique thinking or doesn’t bother/or think about being really being understood). But you’d have to be familiar with french as a language and all it’s symbolical meanings to notice i guess...

[@MentalHealthTreatment]

@Thomas Dupont You're absolutely correct. It is a very difficult task to translate non-coherent/non-linear speech. It would require a much greater level of fluency than I possess, and also would be helpful for someone to have studied the theory of translation...Should a translation be as true as possible and literal, should it rather try to convey a similar message while allowing for deviations in literal meaning, or should it aim to capture the spirit/essence/emotion of the source instead? Indeed I often defaulted to trying to "make sense" of what he says, and probably took some liberties. If you have suggestions on how to improve the translation please let me know.

This guy is a perfect example of how we can all come back from something traumatic. Dude was literally losing his mind but fought to get it back, and you can tell how damaged he was just by how aware he is of what he’s saying possibly sounding crazy because it messed up the trust he has with his mind. Edit: The translation and American romanticism of the French language probably do play a part on my assumption. Nevertheless, he clearly wasn’t completely well yet and don’t know the whole story (or if it’s even been told) but would hope that he came out alright.

[@GlennDavey]

You only say that because you don't understand how crazy he sounds in French. He's just rambling. For you it's a nice story to read. But to listen to in French it's clear he's crazy. He starts out saying what he thinks will help him, but never stops talking, speaking in a monotone with no self-expression, and reveals his tortured mind through a monotonous monologue.

I went to the hospital right away and blacked out ahd started doing stuff I had NO idea I was doing. It was crazy. I spent four days in the hospital. two days out of the four feeling out of it and my meds taking time to work. I felt okay on the third day and definitely the day I was getting ready to leave. My mother returned back home but doesn't matter anyways because she's verbally abusive and an alcoholic. I had to stay stuck with her because I couldn't work after college due to depression getting severe plus severe anxiety (panic disorders) so I was afraid to live by myself due to the abuse she caused when I was younger. I hate her for what she did and how she ruined me and my sister's life but I ask God please forgive me and help me change and to bless her.

This comment section is freaking amazing! All of you that DO realize the Truth of things. Please please eventually come into your personal power and STEP UP for the world. For the newer generation of consciousness to come forth. So that we can eventually have a revolution of change that ACTUALLY BENEFITS HUMANKIND rather than make things worse like the ones before us have. There are SO many of you souls super intelligent and sensitive. The WORLD NEEDS YOU. We all need to do this together! And eventually bring about change in our own groups and communities first before finding one another and collaborating and supporting each other to create an even bigger ripple effect! There are so many of us that realize the truth of mental health, that this crazy world still don't get. Let us all please rise up and bring forth our wisdom for humanity. For you are all worthy and deserving of a better world. We all are!❤ P.S. this psychologist didn't even know how to honour healthy boundaries. And to respect this person anymore just because he has even more awareness and insight into his inner world. This is the imperfection of being human. And those of us that are more aware, never ever let this effed up society take that Light away!!!🎉

@@maggiemae7539 Maybe on a basic level. However, it wasn’t added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-III) until 1980 - more than 100 years later. The definition of trauma (a severe, catastrophic stressor outside the individual) and how that can affect a person psychologically (overwhelming the individual’s ability to adapt) has not been fully addressed until recently. Our treatment methods have also improved over time. The most successful interventions have been shown to be cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication, neither of which existed during the Civil War. CBT was just being developed during the 1960’s - around the time or just after this was recorded. SSRIs such as Prozac didn’t become available until the late 80s. Prior to that, anti-depressants had many undesirable side effects.

[@noraramos3798]

Is this psychosis? Maybe it’s the language barrier, but to me, it sounded like the musings of an intelligent and analytical mind. There were clearly lots of times where the questions being asked of him were cut out, making this sound like rambling when in fact I think his thoughts were provoking and clever. There were times I felt he was being too hard on himself, maybe. I understand that the subtitles may not have conveyed his “madness” as acutely as a native French speaker would have had this “madness” conveyed, but I found him to be introspective, intelligent and interesting. Maybe he is a bit mad. Maybe I’m a bit mad. Maybe we all have our own brand of madness? I found his thoughts to be at times poignant and beautiful. Maybe there is a small bit of beauty in madness.

Reading the comments, I think most viewers are not really understanding how messed-up this guy is. While he appears calm and well-spoken, he's rambling around through multiple disconnected subjects even while finding illogical connections with others. He reminds me of a bipolar friend I knew 40+ years ago who would go through similar phases; sometimes she was clearly manic and frenzied, while at other times she could seem rational the way this guy mostly does, even though she really wasn't, unfortunately.

[@Sojj1]

He corrected himself and said green meaning marijuana. I guess whenever he was high off it he must've felt relaxation of some sort

[@renetahadjianguelova5920]

Wow, all we need is Love. He just needs somebody to believe in him so he can believe in himself, to trust himself, to understand himself better. I loved when he said "I had to fight with my inner self ...my conscious need to appear normal and my subconscious need to express myself." The subconscious mind always wins as it is automatic, we have no control over it except through the conscious mind. Wow, if he was allowed to express himself without judgement, he would satisfy that need and there would be no such conflict. If that video was that old, I don't think that this would have been the case. When was this recorded? Any more information?

[@chillcreep4926]

Psychosis is exhausting, more so during the day (when you have to interact w people and do ordinary human stuff) than at night (when there's less pressure to be social and you have privacy). Alone with his uncontrolled thoughts, he only felt alive at night, but also felt like he was dying at night, because the experience was overwhelming.

And i think when that seed of evil rooted in me and made me rotten. This young man fight his devils with drawing; few years ago my writings were sadomasochistic bullcrap which now serve me to see how demented i became, only because i never seeked help for my issues.

So they shot me. Right in the head. I wanted to live but there was no other escape. I was more than terrified. When I woke up I didn’t sleep much for awhile after that.
