DR DAS' Case FILES: Yasmin | PSYCHOSIS Driven KILLING of an INFANT

[@SkepticalTeacher]

It's such a sad case, but the fact that the family, and the brother especially, are willing to support her and understand that she was ill is very heartening...

[@lucieni]

This reminds me of a case at my NHS trust from 2007… A high flying insurance executive killed his toddler daughter whilst in the grip of an acute psychotic break, zero previous and nil family history. Family totally supported him as he was critically ill at the time. Sentenced to a Hospital order and has been well since. So very tragic and sad for all involved.

[@lc4011]

When I come across ppl that start talking about angels and demons, good spirits/bad spirits (which is common talk in my Native American communities here in the U.S.) I usually make a mental note that they may not be incredibly well-tethered to reality. Either that or they are watching too many horror movies. Thank you for your content @Dr. Das

[@Divinemessages69]

New subbie here from the UK. I found you from an interview with Mr Black on the topic of Beth Thomas, I have a big interest (always have) in psychology and criminal behaviours, my son went through a manic psychotic episode when he was 15 and had to spend time in a youth mental hospital for six months, eventually he was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, he is 33 now and been on medz ever since, have you ever seen anyone with this diagnosis able to live a normal life without the antipsychotic drugs?

[@ShepherdsCreek]

Any disorder that causes a break with reality is so tragic. Even if they don't do anything illegal, it is still very heartbreaking for them and their family. So sad :( my heart really goes out to her and the family.

[@clare1971]

This is completely heartbreaking

[@lornabrandt4983]

Came here from Mr black thought you was very honest

[@sheenaIlona2306]

Wow! More of this please??!! I am starting the first year of psychology in a degree in Criminology and psychology in October and I am absolutely sure these things will come up (maybe not in the first year with it being an introduction to psychology, but definitely in later years). I'm am so happy I found your channel through Shaun Attwood, I only hope I find my university lectures this engaging!! *Edit I will be buying your book! Please jeep us updated on launch dates and pre-ordering details!! x x

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

much obliged

[@lucieni]

I find forensic psychiatry/psychology absolutely fascinating. Worked at SLAM for 10 yrs as pharmacy staff (Now in Paeds at GSTT for 6 yrs, but we still see the odd really interesting psych case usually organic in origin ie Lupus, Encephalitis autoimmune or infection for instance). Keep on keeping me fascinated as your videos really do! So many cases and such little time.

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

I try my best! Thanks for watching!

[@sarahcullis1464]

I am so glad I found this channel, that was so sad, but really interesting. I want to know if her condition will ever go away, or will she need to medicate forever & are people born with these conditions & something triggers it, or does it just appear whenever? Can't wait to begin a new binge!

[@ShepherdsCreek]

Also, can confirm that since I subscribed to this channel, my dance moves went from Elaine dance from Seinfeld to Blackpink.

[@lisawickwar6660]

Thank you for sharing Yasmin's moving case and your personal experience. It seems that Psychosis could happen to anyone at anytime during their life.

[@gailcullinan]

Hello Dr Das. Early thirties, but you are only about 34 now 😄. Your usual clientèle 🤣 What a beautiful girl Yasmin is. Because of my background, I only see and hear facts, and never say how sorry I am for these patients. Shame. I am glad for this explanation. I know a non-violent person who believed that, as she says, she was in the television picture and was subsequently after much more, diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia. It is wonderful to hear a brilliant Specialist Forensic Psychiatrist, you. I wish that my father was still alive to hear you. He was a Specialist Anaesthetist who took his consultancy at Guys. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you.

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

And thank you, Gail, for always having encouraging words for me

[@margaretdrew2844]

Really enjoyed your chanel .i am 76 and must admit i do find murder cases fascinating . Its to do with how peoples mind work to do such a thing.i have subscribed .

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

welcome. I would highly recommend watching all of my videos back to back without taking any breaks...

[@sickeningnoandrealfierceto]

Das I adore your videos. You deserve way more subs. Keep up the good content! x

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

I agree! Do me a favour and spread the love by telling other people about my channel. Much obliged.

[@laurapardoe5347]

Here now hope you do lots of videos

[@ande100]

Heartbreaking! I used to work down The Strand opposite of the Savoy and got lots of court chatter in the pubs during big cases. Many interesting tales and sad dramas. Keep it up, Dr Das and greetings from Texas.

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

Howdy, Poppy

[@ndiama9288]

Very interesting Dr. Your videos are very educative for me as I am a mental health student nurse.

[@vermilliongecko]

In November 2022, my sister, who has a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia and a personality disorder (not sure which one) tried to strangle our elderly mother, later saying that she was trying to choke the devil out of her. She's not been taking her anti psychotic meds since February 2022. She was on a community treatment order before that, but was taken off it due to a shortage of beds in local psychiatric hospitals, so the community mental health team can't uphold their end of the CTO. My sister is still living with our mother, as otherwise she would be homeless and sleeping rough. I'm constantly worrying that my sister will attack our mother again and finish her off. Sorry to vent here, but mental health services in our area don't seem to care. The description of 'Yasmin', her behaviour and the things she said, are just like my sister.

[@ElleT94]

If you where worried about the behaviour of someone you know and where concerned they where in a prodrome state, what should you do?

[@gert8439]

Wow I can understand how that got to you, and inspired you to see you'd chosen the right profession. It's incredibly sad, how our own minds can ambush us and lead to such tragedies. And how caring and understanding the family was. The most 'inhuman' part for me was the prosecution using ''win at all costs'' tactics. I thought a prosecutor's job was to seek justice, not win. If the specialist whose expertise you have to rely on tells you Yasmin wasn't legally responsible for her actions at that time because of her mental disorder, justice isn't punishment, it's treatment. The family got it, the judge got it, the prosecution had no reason not to get it. Well done for holding your ground, gut gemacht!

[@cloe56]

I really feel for people that experience psychosis. It's truly awful. I hope Yasmin is getting the right treatment so she can be well

[@ak49snocat89]

Your mic sounds great!!! No more sounding like your in a tunnel or tin can sound, love it and way mo betta!!! Wow what a tragic story. You have an extremely incredibly interesting job. Your personality, or calming presence & voice and the fact you truly care is truly rare!!! Most are indifferent, snooty, don’t care, miss diagnose with that kind of attitude plus just mean, look down on the poor people with mental problems is incredibly sad as well as evil pill pushers. I sincerely hope that there REALLY are more out there like you. I honestly appreciate you, your job and have to say you’re one of a kind!!! Thank you for your sincere care of your job and the people you really want to diagnose correctly. Much ❤️ for you and what you do and care about as well as the people you take care of and about. Not sure I put that right but hope you understand what I’m trying to say without thinking I’m nuts. Btw, hello from Alaska USA 🇺🇸

[@jadeylemonadey7794]

Loving the new mic, I listen to your vids on my way into work and my car is so clunky and loud I always struggled to hear, this is perfect! Would love to get to CrimeCon one day, enjoy it and good luck with your book dude

[@jeanieq6153]

Phenomenal video thank you.

[@robynmeyer7796]

This is incredibly incredibly sad. I can only imagine what Jasmine’s life would be like without the intervention of Dr Das. Thank you Dr, you likely saved this family from further heartbreak. Could this condition randomly occur in anyone and what are the possible causes for it’s development?

[@danielx555]

I love this video. The editing is really good. It keeps the visual interest, and you as always do a great job of explaining.

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

Much appreciated, Daniel.

[@jackiemuthoga9161]

I listen to you from Kenya and I am truly inspired. You're story telling method makes it easy to listen, understand and recall your content.

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

Many thanks, Jackie. Do me a favour and spread the love by telling other people about this channel. I would love to have more viewers in Kenya. Much obliged.

[@rayjay6941]

Very interesting, thanks Doc..

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ThatMontanaMom]

I found your channel through watching Joshua Miles's channel. I love psychological sciences and appreciate your content and insights.

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

Welcome aboard!

[@cloe56]

Going to put 'in two minds' on my reading list 👍

[@kckc4955]

Hi doc! This is heartbreaking. Thanks for the great content!

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

My pleasure

[@georginamcmeeking7551]

Loved this video 👏👏👏

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

much obliged

[@NKA23]

This is truely tragic. Had there been any social worker or even just a student of psychology, social work or something similiar amongst her family members, chances would have been that that person would have understood Yasmin's prodromal symptoms for what they were, she would have gotten help in time and the little boy would probably still be alive today.

[@sandram9330]

I found you from another creator, the next best thing I did was sub to you. I quite intrigued by you. Now I'm off to find your book......

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

awesome. Read it in one setting, that's my advice

[@59lizzz]

New sub, very interesting chats I have listened to.

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

Welcome aboard!

[@k33k32]

wow! a book! Congratulations! It sounds like it will be very interesting. i look forward to reading it. Re: Yasmin, what a sad, tragic case. Imagine being high on your grandiose delusion and after a time, coming back to reality to find out what you did. What a terrible thing she has to live with for the rest of her life. I wish there was some kind of blood test that could uncover mental illnesses in their early stages. Surely her brain chemistry was out of wack. Are there any chemical indicators for a mind that is manufacturing delusions?

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

Thanks for the props, KK. Unfortunately, there are no chemical indicators. All of psychiatry is clinical judgement.

[@energeticpink]

I literally learned of you through Joshua miles like 15 minutes ago so...here i go...

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

Welcome, Lisa! enjoy the vids

[@_bluephoenix_]

Commenting to help them algorithms and subs! Love the dino that has your six and the yo mumma joke 😂 Educate while you vegetate... i feel personally attacked.. and Im oddly ok with that.

[@TheKez1a]

Hey I was just wondering, you mention Yasmin 'festering' in prison when she first arrived - I would've thought the reception process would've included a mental health assessment especially given the unique nature of her offending and her presentation in the police cells. Is there any screening prior to prison placement/ at reception? I know here in the specific state that I live in, in Australia, we have specific mental health court clinicians that would've assessed her prior to a remand warrant being created by a judge, and they would then flag her with the Prison mental health team (which is a non-gazetted service/ operates within the corrections act of the state rather then the mental health act, with specific legal orders being required as with this case to then treat a patient under the mental health act).

[@carlareilly6594]

This was in your book!

[@queeng5925]

hmmmm im not noticing my dancing improving.... do u think it could have something to do with the wheelchair??? lol xxx

[@MegaDublinguy]

What a tragic case. It was great though that you could get her found not guilty by reason of insanity so that she could receive the treatment that she needed. Fair dues as well to her family for standing by her.

[@whatkatydid7901]

Can schizoaffective disorder be comorbid with borderline personality disorder?

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

Absolutely. Most personality disorders and psychosis can coexist

[@lindapow9351]

where did this young girl at the age of 18 get such a topical mindset - subject where Sacrifices stemmed from the schooling background.. Who trained such a young girl? Sasha Stone -

[@wintergarden7539]

Why does it seem like so often child murders are done with the idea of removing demons. The Andrea Yates case comes to mind. Why is psychosis often rooted with religious undertones?

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

Great question, winter. Bear with me. I'm looking into doing KZbin shorts to answer some questions. Keep an eye out.

[@wintergarden7539]

@@APsychForSoreMinds I will!

[@clare1971]

I remember Andrea Yates, completely tragic

[@Isisbridge]

A similar case was Sheila Caffell, who killed her six-year-old twin sons (and herself). She felt they were possessed by demons and wished to return them to God. A bloodstained bible was found beside her body.

[@incensejunkie7516]

That's the question I was about to write as well.

[@rawbathandbeauty]

Tell me about the dinosaur on the table please

[@Irene-xs9pc]

He is a dad, so his children will be able to answer that, he is a forensic psychologist not a David Attenborough ✌🏽❤️

[@fisharefriends598]

This story seems very familiar… I swear I’ve hear it before

[@flej01]

I suppose with this case is not patting yourself on the back on how you were able to "rehabilitate" its how you would feel if she were to re-offend as many people that have been released on "expert" decisions, have dine, including my sons best mate growing up, R.I.P Toff. I know my reaction would have been much different to her brothers. There would be no room for forgiveness if anyone hurt my children, family members or friends. She should never be allowed back into society again. Also what advise would you give a child obsessed on getting people to like them all the time, to help them cope with this very social problem of modern day life? Cheers

[@ttrainor70]

Betcha she was borderline

[@LisaRichards_123]

That woman thinks Trump can be president more than 8 years, which is super ignorant.
