Hi! I'm a pediatritian from Russia. The doctor in this video was actually my psychiatry professor in med scool many many years later after this footage was filmed. So, i thought, maybe I could provide some context :) So, this footage was filmed in the mid 90'th in a University clinic in Moscow. Psychiatry in Russia has a particularly complicated and controversial history, as psychiatric hospitals were extensively used by the government during the Soviet time to detain people they considered to be dangerous for the regime. Unfortunately, I don't think that russian psychiatry has completely overcome the effects of it's tragic past even today, as it has basically stagnated during those years, or even developed in the wrong direction. We've reviewed and discussed this footage on one of my CME classes on child and adolescent psychiatry recently. And we've come to the conclusion that the young man in this video likely does not have a schizophrenia, but rather some form of ASD. And that some of his difficulties that we see on this footage can likely be attributed to him being treated for an illness he did not have and not receiving the help he actually needed. Of course, it's hard to say anything with certainty now, after nearly 3 decades, but in that historical and social context this version seems to be entirely plausible.

[@cornbone]

thank you for adding this valuable context! i also felt like he had ASD and understood his movements as stimming. i move in a similar way and so does my brother who has ASD.

[@Thisismyaccount82]

I thought his symptoms lined up more with ASD then Schizophrenia.

[@armeyyyy]

Was there any news on where he is now in life? Also, thank you for adding context and the ASD input. Makes a lot of sense.

My lineage has similar affect. It is autistic, but I have both autism from father and schitz from mother's side. It's a sort of crossbreed, the schitz affect stuff isn't as severe as say hearing voices .. but 'suggestive ideas', 'disordered thinking' 'strange preoccupation' and the rest of the usual battery of symptom suspects etc. It's very similar to say what I have read up on anomic aphasia, though different. I believe all of these various diagnoses are of the same family .. some autism variants, schitz, adhd. My best guess is that they're all downstream of genetic and/or indirect epigenetic damage. Essentially, primarily a loss of regulatory brain function, a loss of Purkinje neuron clusters in the cerebellum, and oversized early amygdlaa (6 months-2 years) and later unusual or undersized amygdala. The effects vary of course, but the craziest part is every case I've seen from my own research that has a similar family of effects is that the face and skin or prerhaps heredity are uncanny similar in some aspects. It could be a visible sign of this variant of dmaage, but that's possibly a long shot.

[@redactedredacted5955]

As an autistic person, this seems like autism to me, and it seems like I'm not the only one who sees it.

[@camfg8908]

Same. I realized his autism symptoms almost immediately. But I didn't really know where would the psychosis be seen

[@redactedredacted5955]

@@camfg8908 exactly it seems so obvious!

[@isabellefaguy7351]

As an autistic woman, this young man looks like he has a lot of familiar behaviors.... Before I was correctly diagnosed with autism, I was given antipsychotics and it did made me unable to think (significantly lowered my IQ while I took them), and also got me so hyper that I seemed like I was having a manic episode. I do understand antipsychotics are great for people who need them, they reestablish the chemistry balance. But when you don't need them, it actually creates an unbalance and that should make you (doctor) question wether the diagnosis is actually the correct one.

[@eden.nd.]

There's a pretty significant comorbidity between the two as well, especially when stemming from genetic disorders some of which he possibly shows physical traits of. He would probably benefit from genetic testing as some of them are associated with other serious health issues, though of course this was filmed nearly 30 years ago.

[@ikr2377]

Your absolutely right.its done the same for my son and I don't know if he will get better or can he even be put off them and how

[@shcheerchic1011]

Right?? Austism wasn’t as well diagnosed back then so it’s completely possible he was misdiagnosed or at least not all of the aspects of his behavior is due to the schizophrenia. Even just the way he’s sitting

In the "beginning of footage" you asked if its innapropriate or not to smile. I speak Russian and I understand enough to tell that they are speaking Russian as well, if this was filmed in Russia or not do note that Russians consider it to be off-putting/innapropriate to smile without reason. That is all I can provide in terms of information but it may at least fill in contextualization and whatnot.

I read that prior to the Olympics (I think it was the Olympics) being held in Russia, hundreds of service staff had to be trained to smile while dealing with tourists.

[@PhysicsRoxs]

I love these videos. My mother has early on set dementia and went through several stages where psychosis and delusions were common. I would love to find more videos where doctors discussed different symptoms of different types of dementia other than just memory loss.

[@CyclingM1867]

@PhysicsRoxs these are great videos, and you're right - seeing videos related to dementia that deal with more than just the memory loss would be great. There's much, much more to know about dementia than just that. I work as a residential care aide in an assisted living facility, but I've also worked in long term care and have cared for people with various forms and stages of dementia. I've always felt it quite fascinating, but, much more importantly, it's always been made very clear it is to me to have a gentle touch when helping those with dementia, especially when they have a dementia in which they have things like psychosis and delusions and they're at their highest peaks of these. Some people I've worked with have tried to reason with people with dementia, despite the people we're caring for not being able to be reasoned with. It was taught to me, and I've always followed this, that, unless a person is causing harm or is in danger because of their delusions, when they're "off in their own world," so to speak, to just leave them be. Just go along with it and help them where they are, and that works quite well. I've usually been able to find a way to get them to do what I need them to do, like go for a bath or to meals or to bed, by letting them stay where they are in their mind. I hope that your mother is getting the very best care possible and that you and the rest of her loved ones are also being cared for, as it's not easy when people we care about are going through things like dementia in any form.

[@sarahk802]

Very interesting. His behavior to me seems more autistic. He is distracted, intelligent, with fixed interests, and repetitive behaviors. Emotional lability could also be explained by autism. Like you mentioned, there were some derailments but otherwise thoughts are organized, though illogical at times. Maybe it was delusional thinking in the beginning when he said the men in room three beat him, but not outside the realm of possibility.

[@DavidBowman-mq1bm]

Yes both. I have both.

[@isabellefaguy7351]

As an autistic person who interviewed undred of other autistic adults, being mistreated, even severely abused, by caregivers (either family or professionnals) is not uncommon at all... Alternatively, if he was having meltdowns, even if the caregivers are just trying to calm you, physical touch can be feeled/perceived very harsh (even painful) by the autistic person and thus be interpreted as assault even if there was no intent from the caregiver to be abusive. Both are also possible, I know a few autistic people who have delusional thinking. But very often we're accused of having delusional thinking when actually we're perceiving a situation correctly, but we have difficulty putting into words in a way to be understood by other people. Or we have interpreted a situation in a concrete way, when there was some "obvious" hidden way to interpret it.

[@briereckersley8823]

I'm autistic (and I haven't finished watching) but this is what I thought too. Its very possible that it's not autism or it's a combination. It's hard to know just from a clip

[@MyHeartsBeat]

To my understanding the hebephrenic schizophrenia and autism are quite close and I am sure there are some misdiagnosed people on either site. Unfortunately diagnosing mental illness isn't as easy as with physical illnesses. If a leg is broken you can see it on the X-Ray; but if a person is in between things with their symptoms there's no X-Ray you can take. He shows a lot of symptoms for autism but also for hebephrenic schizophrenia. I hop this young man was diagnosed correctly and got the right help.

[@butterflycucumbers6279]

I have schizophrenia and I remember at the onset my mind being entirely helpless and it’s not like physical exhaustion but all mental and emotional aspects of the mind are helpless and exhausted to nothing. It’s a very vulnerable state to be in because my mind couldn’t do important things like be discerning and judge the value of information and I couldn’t be assertive either and I had no context for a lot of things. It’s like mental poverty kind of. It’s bad to get bullied in a state of helplessness, because I internalised the attitudes of my bullies as my own attitudes about my self and it’s very upsetting. And I tried to make a reality type of thing with just random information that came my way but the majority of it was useless trash, but that’s what I had to work with and then I wasn’t clear thinking and I made some very abnormal decisions, and ended up doing abnormal behaviour.

[@berf9445]

Ive been in hospital a lot for my bipolar, and I hate when they ask the "a rolling stone gathers no moss" or their favorite "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". Even now I couldn't tell you the answer without looking it up.

[@jax99888]

English is not my first language, so I have never heard of those sayings. But I kinda have an image what they could mean

[@stephE80]

​@@jax99888English is my only language and I do not understand what is meant of either of these....I would imagine people shouldn't throw stones from within a glass house for the obvious, but don't get why a stone wouldn't eventually gather moss with time. I'm sure there must be some non-literal meaning to both but I've never heard it

[@lilvampire8083]

@@stephE80I think the rolling stone stone proverb can actually be interpreted quite literally: if a stone is constantly rolling, it is impossible (or at least far less likely) for plants (eg moss) to grow on it, because the stone is always being scratched and bumped by whatever surfaces it's rolling over, which knocks any potential plants off of it. If you interpret it metaphorically, the stone represent a human being... always "rolling", aka moving from one place to another... which makes it impossible (or unlikely or difficult) for that person to "gather moss" aka collect things such as a family, friends, career, responsibilities etc. Whether that's a good or bad thing, is entirely up to the person in question, I'd say. So this proverb doesn't feel like an inherently negative or positive saying to me. If a person wants a family, maybe stop "rolling" and settle down somewhere. (Or take your family along and form a pack of rolling stones, LOL.) If a person wants to live a more carefree life, by all means keep "rolling" and entering into fun but possibly brief different adventures all over the place.

[@lilvampire8083]

​@@stephE80The glass house proverb is more of a Game of Assumptions, to be honest... What would you expect to happen if a person "A" throws a stone? My automatic assumptions: 1) person "A" is throwing the stone at another person, 2) that other person will want to get revenge, and 3) that other person will throw a stone back at person "A". That's when the glass house comes into play: if person "A" lives in a glass house... and assumption 4) they quickly run and hide in it... the stone will hit the house instead, which is made of glass, and hence will shatter. Conclusion / lesson learned by person "A": if I live in a glass house, I should not throw stones, because someone might throw one back, and my house will be damaged. Metaphorical interpretation: if my life is very visible for all of my family & friends (eg I am very open about it or I post it all over social media) ... and I tell a friend that they did something stupid ... they might just search through my socials for a mistake that I've made ... and then throw that (figuratively speaking) in my face in revenge. Aka, if I know I've made mistakes (and they can be found), it is unwise for me to comment on other people's mistakes. The 'problem' with all the assumptions is: What if the stone thrower is throwing their stone into a pond, not at a person? What if the other person simply runs for their life, or forgives the thrower, or would simply never dare to throw a stone back? What if the stone thrower doesn't hide in their glass house, but stands far away from it, meaning a stone-in-return would never hit their house? If someone's mind creates a different storyline during the literal interpretation of this proverb, they're understandably not going to come to the same conclusions and make the same comparisons as someone who makes the, I guess, default and expected assumptions. And who's to say that someone whose mind simply goes to "person A must be skipping stones in a pond, how fun, and they just happen to live in a glass house" doesn't have the more happy mind to live with. By default assuming person A is pelting another person and the whole situation is going to turn into a stone throwing war is actually not a very nice assumption to make. Long story short---next time someone asks you what this proverb means, simply ask the question in return: "In your narrative of the world, or mine?" :)

[@monte68x]

You have concrete thinking. That's what they're checking for when they ask you those proverbs/adages. If you have significant problems with abstract thinking, I would question that bipolar diagnosis. It's much more suggestive of a schizophrenia spectrum disorder.

[@nerfworthy218]

New sub from Idaho!! I love your videos, there's so many cases I never even heard of that you cover. Keep it up, doc!

[@mentalitydesignvideo]

aside from the fact that we don't know what his state was like before the meds, I think he's not schizophrenic, not in the least. Hebephrenia, delayed emotional development -- yes. If not for the body of a young man/late teen, his responses (both verbal and an accompanying affect) would be totally appropriate for a bright 8 year old who REALLY likes trains. And is fidgety and quickly switches topics as is expected of an 8 year old. Getting beat up by violent patients on a closed ward is entirely realistic for a Soviet/Post-Soviet mental asylum. So, no disordered or inappropriate affect, no disordered thinking, no reported hallucinations or other psychotic symptoms, fidgeting appropriate to side effects of early anti-psychotics, loss of task focus appropriate with retarded emotional development. Cognitive skills etc are those of a (roughly) 8 year old.

Late onset Schizophrenia, I wish you will make a video about this. Our late mother was diagnosed with this. We even had to explain that this disease can appear after the age of 45 to an senior psychiatric expert in ADHD.. probably because when he studied in the U, by the DSM-III the symptoms must have appeared before the age of 45. I was surprised too... With a complex psychiatric family history: Cool & fun aunt w Bipolar Disorder, complicated aunt w Border Personality.... I assumed that by 30 yrs old I would have figured out already, if I inherited those faulty genes. Now I will need to wait until, forever? I would need to add Schizophrenia to the family future risks: Early onset Alzheimer (My Mom, her father and a nephew of him, plus a half brother (same father) of my Mom, but not at an early age) & ALS (another cousin of my Mom).

Is attention relative to hyperfixation though on a basic level? Your comment on his frustration about his inability to name the fingers and how attention is involved made me wonder. Because you later counter that interpretation of the behaviour using the example of listing the train stations, so I'm thinking, is that moment an actual display of attention, or does the fact that this is a specific interest of his and compulsion comes into play only to "move" the process to a different part of the brain and change the nature of the process?

🚝🚆🚇 Interesting. Was picking up on some of the language here and there primarily due to similarities to Ukrainian which I've been doing on Duolingo and secondarily because I went on exchange to Russia just a year or so before this video. -and yes, it is understandable why you at first thought it dated earlier than it is.. ..visiting in the nineties felt a little like stepping into an old sepia photograph of one's parents' or something.. ..it was a great trip, and has stuck with me, especially the long train ride Moscow to Sochi and the unexpected beautiful greenery of the mountains nr the Black Sea. I think my main concluding thoughts on this dear lad are that I think I could get along with him just fine and why is he an inpatient, how did this happen (I guess we don't know..) Although some of your explanations are quite plausible and possibly correct, I also wonder how much a person's character and personality and sense of humour plays a part, esp somewhere like Russia or Poland -I remember being told a few things about differences in cultural behaviour before going there, ie how, in general they can tend more toward straight facedness and some will view people who smile a lot (too much?!) as being a bit 'simple'/stupid.. ..or, the other way around, how some visiting may find some there quite straightfaced/not very facially expressive.. ..This was a while back.. ..I was young.. ..just post ussr.. ..I think in general we found this more with the grown ups than the young people.. ..re this chap trying to remember stuff; I can imagine it would be annoying having someone but in on your train of thought when you are trying to get your brain to recall something (no pun intended!).. ...or, for some, even simply the constant stream of questions.. ..aii!

Well the education system in Russia (and especially back in the USSR) is pretty good and I can guarantee you that even the least educated person in the country can answer that question at least within 10-20 seconds without a pen and a paper. Of course, a neurotypical person, I mean

[@odohertyfalstaff]

Note the simple easy maths questions as opposed to the confusion derailment created by “7x8” . hebephrenic(Bleulers terminology not currently used) schizophrenics can constantly be responding by smiling and laughing at unseen stimulus. In the night time the voices can become nightmarish derogatory taunts that they screams back at.

I'm confused. The video you're watching, is in another language? I've watched a few of your reaction videos. They're really great. But this one has me so confused! Also, why are his eyes blurred out?

[@utubekullanicisi]

He's following the video through the subtitles, if that's what you were confused by. As for why his eyes are blurred out, it might be to somewhat protect the identity of the person filmed. It is kind of badly done though, you can clearly see his eyes at certain points.

I am studying to become a clinical psychologist. Currently doing psychopathology subject. Recently discovered your channel... what a great resource to help with understanding different disorders. Please continue to make more videos. Thank you. 😊 🚂🚅🚈🚉🚆🚇🚄

[@Pandoradan]

It really looked like he was stimming when he was talking about the trains and the sounds they make.

[@riniks112]

Beaten, not treated with kindness. How about that as for an explanation.. Cooperation is assumed when he hasn't been seen in early childhood. It's a regressive functioning. He makes you feel the way he has been made to feel, confused. And instead of becoming angry because of the deprivation he has experienced he chooses to collapse awereness of it.

[@clairek-s8918]

I live with schizoaffective disorder and my husband has ASD. I also recognize the ASD traits more strongly than the schizophrenic.

Hebephrenic is a new word for me though I've been familiar with the word hebephilia for quite some time.

I've heard it is now called disorganized schizophrenia.

🚂🚃🚄🚅🚆🚇🚈🚉🚊🚝 Congratulations!! You're going to be excellent in your field and will help a lot of people. You show great compassion and caring for others, and you have a calm, gentle demeanour that is quite comforting and reassuring. You'll do very well in your chosen field of medicine. :) This was quite fascinating to me! Various human conditions related to the mind, whether it's mental illness or dementia (I work with the elderly and have cared for people with early onset dementia) or brain injuries, etc., have always been of great interest to me. Physical stuff, not so much, but when it comes to the mind, I'm incredibly interested. Thank-you so much for sharing your insights with various things through your videos. It really helps to have actual people who've been observed and for someone to react to videos of them as they go through various stages or phases of their conditions. When you were talking about being focused on a task until it's done, and just having to get it done and becoming hyper focused on that one thing, that's exactly what happens to me when I'm at my worst with my OCD. Most of the time I can manage it and feel fine without having to get every single thing just so, as I like it, but it does happen when I'm feeling stressed or unsettled or tired. I saw a bit of myself in Anton in the video, especially when he was bound and determined to list all the metro station names just as he felt they should be listed. Then, just like with him when he was done just as he wanted to be done, there's a great sense of relief and elation when a task is done just as I want it to be. It can be quite frustrating, as I just want to get something finished as it needs to be, and sometimes I do have to start a routine or sequence over in order to feel that I've gotten it right. When I'm in that mode, I just have to go through with it and get it done. I'm alone a lot, partly because I'm an introvert who lives alone with my cat and I work nights in a place where there's just one staff member on at night, and so when I go through OCD things, it's rarely ever seen by anyone else, but people are aware of it. Like I said earlier, most of the time I'm fine, but sometimes it does crop up and I have to go through my various routines and the like, just like Anton in the video with listing the metro stations.

I am one day older than this poor kid. That makes this 1995, considering he is 19 at the time. (8:41 I guess they cleared that up for us)..

[@hollyrobinson488]

🚂 love your videos 🚂

[@thenobin]

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but I feel like him saying he'll throw himself under a train may be more of evaluation of his circumstances and lack of perceived employability, rather than an actual intent. Sort of like a 'this is the only thing I know, so if this doesn't work out I've got nothing left.' Definitely not a healthy mindset, but easy to sympathize with for people who for whatever reason aren't able to pursue the career they have been working towards.

Wow mmm I guess I can tell I have a schizoaffective bipolar family: My mother had late onset schizophrenia and her sister Bipolar disorder. Anxiety, that risk our kids can inherited from their father side. I hope u will never stop visiting a psychiatric psychiatrist so you will remain balanced, also, I hope soon there will be genetic therapy for all those disorders/diseases (maybe you could participate in future researches on this field) Feel well!❤

@@empress2529 i actually stopped all my phycology treatment now. i don't have schizoaffective, but autism with psychos (and still all the other stuff). i had to stop because of the year chang over appointment not being able to get to it. ive been looking around for free online therapy because im out of work and i don't have a car. there's no such thing as free therapy but i do have 3 free sessions as a trial coming up but soon i will have to look around again.

[@wooww91619]

@@LewisEthridge_95I hope you are okay and still seeking the right treatment if you haven’t found it yet. The right resources may be scarce and hard to find but they are improving quickly for schizophrenia, including schizoaffective. Neuroscience research is turning everything many people thought on its head. I’ve had a lot of unaware doctors and wasn’t able to advocate for myself. Now I’ve found the right help. I wish you the same ❤

Metro is dessert, very popular in Middle and Eastern Europe. It looks like metro. Maybe that´s where his association to the train comes from.

[@junglesuperstar9270]

He literally talked about Moscow metro very accurately

[@alecianewman4226]

Congratulations

[@carolmussotter8439]

To the best of my understanding the DSM 5 and perhaps even ICD10 have removed the specifiers for subtypes of schizophrenia (no more paranoid schizophrenia or catatonic schizophrenia and so on). I appreciate your sharing this video as an example of extremely disorganized thought and behavior but to advertise it as a subtype of schizophrenia is inaccurate at this time based on current diagnostic criteria used today.

[@ilikenapsandyou1060]

He does specify that these subtypes were used "back in the day". Not sure if you missed that part?

[@ThaOneChrisJONES]

"A typical case of derailment, no pun intnded"??! This should be fully intended, gold pun right there!!! Greetings from Germany!

[@f0nd004u]

why is it that you talked about Metro: Last Light and then 20 seconds later he starts talking about metros out of nowhere, seeming driven to do so? Do you find that odd? I understand causality "doesn't work that way" but it strikes me as extremely odd. Also the reason he was getting focused is because he was listing those metro stations in order and was trying to get the order correct. The doctor didn't realize that. I believe he was visualizing the rail line. He seems autistic.

They say I am schizophrenic, well paranoid schizophrenic. Not easy but oh well.

[@LivingDead53]

Yeah, it would be impossible for me say the alphabet backwards. I've had some strange adaptations in my illness. For example, we were playing a game where you throw sticks in a pile and asked how many sides and other weird questions. Without knowing that it was my friend's hands curled up, I started to get them all right without knowing it myself. It scared me. They try to say, "I have control," with the mind stuff. No, I don't. Remember when you were trying to freak me out, and I ignored you until you made me notice you were there? There's nothing I can do about it. They can torment me in many ways, and they have. They're full of their own lies. I lost most of my youth due to their stupidity and now have no skills. "Outland" by Celldweller. Now it's free love or weak love? America only brings you to your lowest point and then walks away. You can't have any life when they do that. They will always come back for more. And 8.5 months of agony due to my need for attention, not to mention all the times I went to the ER until they kicked me out when "passing out" is not a sign of low potassium--not bulimic then. Something is wrong. Even the ones who want peace and justice can't get me away from harm or help when I was in "Outland."21 in the actual hospital stays, plus 6 months originally. Something is wrong. It's not like I enjoyed my time there. They saw it on a scan three years later. Something is wrong. What happened, the pressure released in my brain. I'm not sure, but a lot of what the internet said, we die when that happens or many do. I hung upside down. You have not seen the things I've seen from ailments. Cizin is classic. When they had me in a holding room, I knew he was behind me. He would have liked me to turn around, yeah, he would have liked that, nope, the nice nursing is injecting something in my ass that will knock me out. I'm waiting patiently for their grand idea to explode and me to make a few phone calls in claims. That was rude and illegal. Want to talk about suffering and human rights, you effing shitholes? You let Marilyn Manson run around doing horrible things to ordinary people who graze in the background, not much to find there in us. Now who do I have a crush on? My head is not rent free.

He doesn’t have schizophrenia. It’s a ACD. I was born in Ukraine and Speak Russian. Also, he named train stations that weren’t open yet and wouldn’t be for five or 10 years! And then he says that he receives 40 bucks disability pension and says, how can you survive on those money? He says it’s not normal.

this video was taken in 1995 I'd wager
