my grandma passed from korsakovs and liver damage from long term drinking. please drink responsibly folks, trust me when i say its no way to go out. she was only 60

My grandma died the same way, from alcoholism and liver failure. She was only 63. My dad was only 35 and I was only 5. Very sad. My dad was also an alcoholic but thankfully stopped drinking completely when I was 14, and has been sober now for 31 years, thank goodness. He's 75 and doing well.

Im 46 and have developed class B Cirrhosis. Stopped drinking about 14 months ago (I dont keep track of the days) and now need a transplant, which statistically isnt likely to happen. It can creep up on you. Get regular liver function blood tests people, if you drink a lot. I recognise this guys thiamine deficiency delirium. Had it once before xmas, like a dementia. Its like being in an awake dream.

I'm no doctor, but as an alcoholic myself this man has a quality that is very familiar to me. I'm almost 10 years sober and videos like these remind me to stay the path and that alcohol has nothing to offer those of us who cannot moderate our usage. I really hope this guy got better.

@ladybaabaa3294 9 ай бұрын

It's interesting how long it often takes for the gentleman to respond to the questions. He doesn't speak overly slowly in general, but he seems to take a while to process the questions before being able to find words to try and answer them.

I think this man went to high school with my (now deceased) uncle. His godfather's name is the same as my uncle's step father. He grew up in the area, the accent is dead on, and he went to the same college during the same years... I'm...just wow. Wasn't expecting that from a 5 am youtube rabbit hole. It's so heartbreaking to watch this man. The pandemic really changed the way I understood the (medical) significance of alcoholism. Was working at the state alcohol control at the time and was classified as essential. I received genuine thanks from (mostly ER) medical providers because as dangerous as alcoholism is, had the spirits dried up overnight the hospitals would have even more critically ill people needing help.

There’s not much said about West Virginia because we are thought of as a failed state in my respects. Anyway, I thought I’d mention that. I watched some of these videos before I found your channel; it’s nice to have an actual psychiatrist give their feed back to them.

in past i had osdd(dissociation disorder) due to (c-)ptsd but not anymore because years of therapy, good life balance and ssri(for anxiety) has helped me a lot💜 i still have anxiety but its under control, years ago when i had a lot of dissociation(depersonalization and derealization) i didnt recognize myself from mirror and i often didnt quite recognize who i was, who people around me were and where and when i was, especially during flashbacks(havent had that in years💜) and when that dude didnt know the time and place it just felt really sad, i hope people treat him well in the hospital, im also surprised how chill he seemed to be, many people would probably get scared and anxious if realizing how they arent aware of their surroundings, maybe he didnt realize how out of touch he was and that abled him to not get very tense? or maybe im just not good at reading peopleXD or maybe he couldnt express himself very clearly due to his current state

@Amazing_missB 8 ай бұрын

I had depersonalized/derealization indirectly due to CPTSD. I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar and pulled cold turkey off my SSRI and I pretty much went insane. They pumped me full of lithium and benzos and refused to put me back on an SSRI. My DP/DR came when they did a rapid (2 week) benzos taper. That symptom was absolutely awful. It felt so scary and I thought I’d never feel like myself again. It was pretty much constant for about 4 months and then slowly I’d get 5-10 minute clarity every few days. Almost two years off of them, I only get that feeling for a brief period and only when I’m very, very stressed.

@rosemadder5547 8 ай бұрын

Perhaps he already knows? I have been diagnosed exactly as you described, dissociative disorder from CPTSD, manic depression, anxiety characterized especially by OCD, and trichotillomania. I don't know if I always recognized my dissociation, but I feel like I did. I definitely have known I do it since my teens, and I'm 37 now. Wasn't diagnosed until a s**cide attempt at 22. I wasn't put off at all when they told me. I'm very glad you're so much better. I am too. I'm an EMT now and can help other people like myself ❤

Its funny Dr Syl, when you take a sup from your blue cup with the flavour tag sitting out on the side, I recognise how some people working from home a few years back myself included would have wine in that cup and tape the tag string to the inside of the cup for when in the many zoom meetings. An old/new trick.

Lovely to hear a person in power ( never understood why people having no empathy,study and do jobs where empathy could make such a huge difference ) . I think your compassion is utterly relatable ,people are blessed to have you as a dr. Speaking as a patient prescribed addictive drugs as a teen,on repeat for years. I should never ever have been prescribed them ,ie methadone for painkiller dependence ,opiate ones and never heroin or anything of the sort. I deal with prejudice and patient generalisation continually,it could have inspired suicide as its horrible stuck on a socially unacceptable drug but without a criminal record,bad character or low iq,all of these are assumed i have as the culture is so negative in Scotland regarding trauma and dependence. Its ignorance,my current dr refused to anything at all to protect his patients from abuse in the pharmacies,community services, etc. ive been accused of being a risk to a child because of a prescription ive had for years that has no effect. Im having to prove im not a threat instead of the other way around and despite raising another child in exactly the same circumstances. Its accepted. Discrimination.very emotionally damaging.

The number thing, I can't do it, because of work memory deficit. I'm autistic, so there's that. What I want to say is that it is really exhausting to try to do this kind of task when you have a deficit of work memory. When the guy says it's too much, he's tired of doing this test, he really means it.

What really got me in the feels w this video was the fact that this man seems so poignantly aware of what’s really going on, but so unable to communicate properly. A profound confusion about his inability to connect the questions being asked to his own functionality. To me, it seems like he knows the answers are wrong, but he can’t understand why. I relate to that, and it’s extremely disorienting and jarring… I felt like I could see it in his eyes, idk.

Dr Syl, my name is Michalina and I greet you warmly. I have BD for many years and have been treating it for four years. Not once in my entire life and illness have I been depressed and have depression. Over the following years, I have at least 1-2 (once 3) episodes of mania with hospitalization per year, I have mania with delusions and psychoses, but not always. Between manic episodes, I still have recurring hypomania (light and medium) very often and it's hard to count. My first episode of the disease was a huge, spectacular "happy" mania with delusions of grandeur and acute psychosis. I wonder why this is happening to me? Drug therapy was very long and difficult to establish, I had to gain 146 kg and suffer a lot of side effects. It's very hard for me because I take large doses of medications and do everything as prescribed. What could be wrong with me? < I am pasting the corrected version of the questions again> sorry

@doreenplischke2169 8 ай бұрын

Sounds like the drugs you are taking might not be effective either by dosage or all together. Are you sure you do have BP? Seek perhaps another assessment or second opinion…

@Amazing_missB 8 ай бұрын

Have you taken a generic test to see what medications might be the most helpful. I tried dozens of meds and none helped with my depression and insomnia- turns out, these medications were highlighted to likely be not effective. Once they switched me to medications that were indicated to be most likely to work- my world changed completely and I’m finally able to function again.

The opera of Hansel and Gretel - the mother sings, “There goes the milk on the floor!” and it just bothers me, cause things happen and you can’t ignore them!! sometimes i think very concretely. but i also study psychology and animal behavior (double major). so what does that signify? a stitch in time and a bird in the hand, i get! people’s minds are so idiosyncratic. but in cases like this? of course, something is wrong. poor guy, he seems like he was a nice person. to be as far gone at his age he must have started early and drunk a lot. i hope he was able to get better. 😕🌷🌱

WAIT A MINUTE. I’m 39 and I think you just made me realise I’ve misunderstood the people in glass houses saying this whole time 😂 I thought kind of like he said - it would be a stupid thing to do in the circumstances. But you’re saying it’s because then other people might throw stones BACK and break your house? 🤯 Not delirious as far as I know but I have a high degree of ADHD and don’t ever do the “white lie” thing and cannot for the life of me explain the concept of a double bluff because it involves knowing how people will respond to lying (I think?!) so I guess that also applies to doing mean things on purpose like throwing stones 😂

It`s just so NOT the reason we are here, that`s what I keep thinking, anyways. But like you say, they have their own reasons for slowly destroying themselves.

My gf’s uncle developed that syndrome briefly from long term heavy drinking and had to go to the hospital. When he got back, he told us he had a tumour the size of an orange in his head, and had 3 months to live. Gf’s dad went with him to next appointment, where he got an MRI, and the doctor (different doctor, elective appointment) seemed bewildered as there was nothing there. I really couldn’t tell how much was confabulation and how much was typical lying from shame, but was incredibly bizarre. He had to get thiamin injections and basically be on test with vitamins for a while.

There is a good documentary called Drunk In Public about a California man who got arrested over 500 times for being drunk in public. Nobody thought he would survive that long but he did and he got wet brain and eventually died. I think it is scary that I am still addicted to alcohol after seeing that and going through it myself but I am on vivotrol shots now which are supposed to help so I hope that works.
