Doctor REACTS to Ratched | Psychiatrist Analyzes Hydrotherapy & LSD | Dr Elliott

[@lunacouer]

99 F = 37.2 C 119 F = 48.3 C In other words, sweet jeebus that's torture.

[@nanajiloh]

Very that

[@mehlover]

The hydrotherapy scene was hard to watch. And wild to learn irl the people administering it was thinking it was a compassionate act because there were no other treatments at the time. Love hearing your insights on Ratchet!

[@atomiccrouton]

first degree burns occur around 118 degrees F. They're cooking her alive in the clip.

[@carr0760]

a 5 minute exposure at 120 degrees can cause 3rd degree/full thickness burns. This would have been SO much worse than what they portrayed!

[@atomiccrouton]

@@carr0760 yeah I'm not a doctor but I have cooked for my entire professional career and people grossly underestimate just how dangerous heat can be.

[@carr0760]

@@atomiccrouton I just recertified in first aid and CPR a few days ago. (Hence this info was fresh in my mind when I watched this today) Everyone else in the class was doing it for the first time and they were shocked by how severe burns can be in various circumstances.

[@atomiccrouton]

@@carr0760 yeah, sometimes I have to have conversations with people about why we do certain things for safety reasons. Like it's crazy how dangerous stuff can be.

[@mangantasy289]

The hydro therapy was really terrifying. The more so as it was (in this case at least) uses to "cure" homosexuality. So good that by know the latter is bot seen as an mental disorder any more. I understand a little, that some people might really wanted to help but just didi not know better. Makes me beyond grateful that I live today where medicine in general has improved so much. But still makes me wonder how doctors in the future might judge some treatments that are practiced today... Gets me thinking... and thanks for your view on this

[@kiernanmooney6210]

"Tripping balls" is now an official medical term. Thank you, Doctor.

[@babyJes444]

Yay, glad you did another one. I loved this mini series and love your psychological breakdowns.

[@windows95leon]

I know it wasn't the main focus of the video but I was just doing defences of capacity module in my Law Degree and you did a really good job of briefly and succinctly mentioning the law in the UK on this matter for a non Lawyer. Great work. 👍

[@Someone-ob5zk]

I loved this show so much, I thought you had forgotten/weren’t going to react to this show anymore. This was a very pleasant surprise! Loved it as always

[@sheepslayer2513]

I almost cried while watching this episode.

[@martianpudding9522]

If they actually did this at 35-38 celcius normally that seems pretty nice. I can imagine a normal hot bath could help someone's mental health.

[@HolyTurtleOfDoom]

I'm pretty sure there's some "proof" that ice baths/cold shower are great for mental health, but probably not curing any lesbianism lol

[@dawnydawny123]

Damn thought I found my cure

[@mathildevinther7329]

Wow this was so interesting and fascinating to watch. An already intriguing show and your takes and explanations are great as always - really loved this! Pretty crazy the methods they used to use back in the day 🙃

[@lolapkh]

Thanks for the great reaction video. I was really happy to get the notification flash up on my phone 🔔 Ratched has some very dark themes that are often tricky to watch, but your viewpoints helped lessen the horror with tieing in how proper use of hydrotherapy/LSD could have been of help for some mental health issues in the past. The TV conversion therapy with hot 🔥/freezing🧊 water was grim viewing. 119°F is just over 48°C!

[@seamstressdragon8707]

Great video Elliot, it might be worth you checking out the 2008 film Changeling starring Angeline Jolie. It is based on the true story of Christine Collins whose young son went missing and was a victim of the 1928 Wineville chicken coop murders. The police bring back what is supposed to be her son and she knows he is not. The police gaslight her and have committed to a mental asylum against her will, where they show scenes of ECT.

[@mothturtle7897]

Hydrotherapy *sounds* so nice. Like a nice little swim and a stint in the jacuzzi. How horrific that scene was.

[@mandipandi303]

This was fascinating. I knew recently they've been doing more research into the use of psychedelics to treat certain mental health conditions, but I wasn't aware how far it went back. I wonder how hydrotherapy even worked and if it was a placebo effect.

[@veronika.rel.wiesner]

The hydrotherapy part is really creepy. I mean - to cure homosexuality with nearly boiling water? That's crazy! It's enough that my mother used to drag me into the freezing shower to "cool me down" when I got into a meltdown (I am autistic... and nobody bothered to explore this posibility). It's something that doesn't help, it only das harm.

[@pvanukoff]

Yes, completely creepy and ridiculous and akin to torture. However, let's be realistic here -- 100 degree water is far from boiling. Water boils at 212 F.

[@veronika.rel.wiesner]

@@pvanukoff I am from Europe, so I didn't get the numbers right... sorry :)

[@carr0760]

@@pvanukoff 5 minutes at 120 degrees can cause 3rd degree/full thickness burns. This would be horrific.

[@pvanukoff]

@@carr0760 I'm sure it would be. However, it's not "nearly boiling water".

[@carr0760]

@@pvanukoff water boils at 100° C. Pretty much the entire world uses Celsius outside of the US, and This is a British creator's channel. It was an easy mistake to make. Logical, even.

[@puddincakes1005]

This show seems insane! Thanks for doing another reaction to it. Very interesting.

[@vojislavS8652]

LSD as you mentioned could provide a way into one's subconscious and probably make that person aware of some things and the root of some mental illnesses. I would really like to see some cases where this drug was utilized and had positive effect on certain treatments

[@V0ID_Pirate9]

can you please do another react video to it's always sunny? possibly the one where Dennis gets diagnosed with BPD or one from the new s15! Love your videos

[@carlables]

I love that you know and can so easily and thoroughly explain these things! Thanks for the videos, I look forward to them every week!

[@Squeech77]

I've just been diagnosed with ADHD and I've also just discovered this channel and really appreciate the insights here from the few videos I've watched Can anyone let me know if Dr Elliot has discussed adhd in media yet? I had a look through his list and nothing obvious is there

[@YellaRyan]

He reacted to the depiction of adhd in the Simpsons

[@maggiepie8810]

The US military did also research LSD as a potential bio weapon during the Vietnam War. The experiments conducted by military researchers included LSD administered to cats.

[@matthewcrome5835]

Dr. Elliot, can you react to Jacob's Ladder (1990, *NOT* the shit remake)? It deals with a lot of mental health themes, including PTSD, guilt, and hallucinations in a very well-wrought way, as well as addressing MK-Ultra/the drugging of Vietnam soldiers with LSD and other hallucinogens (I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but MK-Ultra actually did happen). It's one of my favorite movies and I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

[@lilmisou]

Hi! I would love to see you react to "this is going to hurt"!!

[@garros]

I think the 'undertones' of punishment you mentioned regarding hydrotherapy were more overt overtones, to be fair. They were shocking people with electricity while they looked at erotic images as well - seems like a pattern to me.

[@MrCovers85]

99°F => ~37°C i'd say actually not really warm... 119°f => 48°C, you don't wanna be in there unless you want some burns !

[@jnewmark41]

You are so adorable.....those empathetic facial expressions of yours are endearing....

[@afibuffygirl]

I'd really love to see him react to Ellie's ptsd in the video game the last of us part 2. Or even just the psychological toll it took on ellie watching joel get murdered infront of her and watching ellie become more aggressive during her journey for revenge.

[@nanajiloh]

Not Joey Jay doing a cameo on a video of a psychiatrist reacting to Ratched 😭 the doors he has opened...

[@estrajunkies]

Hi Elliot, i'd love to hear your Opinion on the change of how Personality disorders are classified in the ICD11 vs ICD10.

omg u should react to dexter! i was so surprised that you hadn’t already when i looked lol

[@IWantToRideMyBike]

My great grandma had schizophrenia and they would treat her with hydro therapy by switching her back and forth between ice baths and hot baths

[@simplechemistryarchives4315]

Did it work?

[@ChristopherJamesNeff]

So were the real hot baths in real life super painful like in this clip? Do they still do hot baths or cold baths anymore?

[@briannasausedo2017]

lmaooo “i don’t know what that is in celsius “

[@Scott_Forsell]

I once burnt my whole right hand, my wrist and a few inches of my forearm trying to restart my furnace. First degree. That was a really bad idea. Nothing to be done really besides a crap ton of ointment. I was like Peter Stormare in Fargo. "I need unguent." In a week all the dead skin basically sloughed off in flakes kind of the like the outside of puff pastry or phyllo dough after it's baked well.

I have intermittent acute priapism each time I see a tall Asian female, each time I wake up, and at random times. I cannot help it. Combined with my satyriasis, it is rather bad, combine it with macrophallus and it is rather embarrassing as well.

[@justalittleloser2482]

if anyone wants to learn more about hydrotherapy with less... horrifying context, i recommend the podcast sawbone's episode on the practice!

[@annakaraivanova6936]

Just gonna say BE CAREFUL with substances like LSD and don’t mix drugs!I accidentally ended up taking 400ug of LSD and 20mg of THC (recall these will have synergistic effects!) and had the WORST trip ever. Like the police and the fire brigade had to come for me. I had a psychotic episode and I cannot unsee and unhear some of the things that occurred during that trip. A year later, I still sometimes find myself questioning my own reality. Be safe guys
