OCD and the accident, pain, and massive amount of drugs

[@sarahfellows3074]

I feel sad that even though he lived life to the full, making the most of his huge potentials & opportunities, life was still horrendous to him in the end. The airplane crash which caused him to suffer chronic painful neuropathy 😔 & a subsequent addiction to coedine, for instance, it confirms my belief that there is no rhyme nor reason to the awful things that can happen in this life & sometimes it is better to play it safe & have a simple life than to be innovative and take big risks. Makes me anxious for the little people who still have so much innocence 💕. It's lucky we are getting better at helping people with addiction & wellbeing but I don't know what can be done to help chronic pain & neuropathy & countless other random tragedies that life can bring that cannot be helped. That's why we should look after ourselves and each other 🌎 ❤️

[@angelachouinard4581]

As usual, this was excellent. So much written about Hughes glosses over his injuries and their severity. As a chronic pain sufferer myself, I can only imagine what he endured. The sad thing to me is that he was surrounded by yes men because of his money and no one insisted he get proper care. I suppose he'd have fired them if they tried, though.

[@cancel_naomi]

Exactly and the worst thing for someone that could have ocd or a phobia is a yes boy.

[@JesseWright68]

Hughes busted his ass pretty badly when he crashed his plane attempting to make an emergency landing at a golf course. His flight was wrought with errors and the investigation that followed showed that he didn't follow his flight plan nor did he follow established procedures for test flying a new plane. He was one-hundred percent at fault for the crash.

[@violetlove1893]

Chronic pain can make someone seem mentally ill when in fact the physical pain makes one get depressed, stay on meds to try and function, and at the tiny moments of slight relief , one can run around happy. And then the vicious cycle begins again. 😢

Thank you, Dr. Grande, for including Howard Hughes in your repertoire of interesting videos.

Speaking as someone who's actually been diagnosed with both temp based as well as mechanical allodynia I can say hands down it sucks and I'm literally naked this very moment as well as any time I'm home and either have no company or have no projects going on. This explains a lot as I know it can be quite the stressor on its own and took me years come to terms with. Thankfully after about three decades I was finally diagnosed with chronic lyme disease and since you getting some treatments the symptoms have reduced dramatically

[@lightseeker134]

Great analysis that deepened my understanding of the man and his history. He was a genius in business and technology and made significant contributions to the world of aviation. It's unfortunate that the inordinate wealth and privilege that afforded him so many opportunities had drawn him into a worldview that was far removed from reality. He lived in a gilded cage where money resolved every problem or difficulty and shielded him from consequences. It's ironic that in the end, he found himself alone and a "prisoner" of his fears and failing health which no amount of money could liberate him from. Thanks for another interesting video, Dr. Grande!

Very good summary of Howard Hughes life. Very interesting how OCD can contribute to such success through attention to detail in some professions. This is fascinating. Thank you Dr. Grande!

[@michelleA9502]

As someone who has multiple family members with OCD I have observed what has been true for them. Yes, very attentive to details, perfectionistic, and very conscientious. For the people I know, they start out well at a job or endeavor because of the above traits and because they are intelligent. But in a varying amount of time, from weeks to months, they gradually begin to lose control over the OCD and become ever more stressed. Even though they remain conscientious, their productivity falls dramatically as obsessions and rituals either about rechecking that their work (whatever type it may be) has been done correctly and perfectly, or the strains of trying to hide their problem and symptoms out of shame becomes overpowering. Supervisors and coworkers who initially praised their work begin to express unhappiness that work is not on time anymore, or that "you should have completed 10 chores today like you did before, but you only did three..." They begin to feel shamed and inadequate because of a disorder they can't help having, know they are letting people down, and try to compensate by working more, or skipping lunch, etc. Other people don't understand why the great worker is so "lazy" now, and inevitably frictions develop. This only increases the OCD sufferers symptoms, and everything starts swirling like an F5 tornado down the drain of failure. This leads to them quitting their job, or being fired, only to return to the job market, make a great first impression, and the tornado slowly spins again. I have seen this in 2 family members. It breeds great shame, embarrassment, hopelessness, lots of anger, and a feeling that they can never live up to the high potential they innately have. One family member described the disorder as "being burned at the stake every day but never being allowed to die." It made me feel so sad, because there wasn't anything I personally could do. Another relative's OCD revolved around religiosity and scrupulosity to the point that they spent much of their time praying and being worried that if they thought of the devil accidently, they'd become possessed, or if they had an "impure thought" that that meant they were going to act on it unless they exercised Puritanical control of everything so they wouldn't end up wearing a scarlet letter. That person drove me away from them, because they judged others and me like they did through their own sadly warped glasses. OCD is a horrible destroyer of people who have a lot to contribute, but who are so worn out from fighting this demon, that they aren't allowed. I have studied my family extensively. People think OCD is only worrying about germs, cleaning, or washing your hands. For sure, it contains those elements, but I've seen people with the cleaning and hand washing, along with worrying about the devil and being perfect on the job. Also, symptoms shift and change over time. They may conquer one obsession and be ecstatic, only to find that a newer, even more malicious one has adapted itself to what they care about most. I wish I could write a scientific paper about this so doctors can understand. Because I've been at the doctor's with different family members, and no one seems to realize the extent to which this thing extends it's nasty tentacles through the person's brains and thoughts.

Alot of mis information here..... Myself and wife both worked at Hughes Aircraft Company, my dad was a mechanical engineer in the early days of the aerospace program..... he worked at Aerophysics, DelMar engineering and Hughes Aircraft Company (HAC) starting in Culver City (many of the same engineers worked on Helicopter and tool company projects- depending on what day of the week it was & needs of the day). He later went to HAC Aerospace Division which was established in El Segundo California....which was later split into HAC Space & Comm and Missile Systems Group which moved to Canoga Park, California (today aka Lake Balboa) which I where he went as well. There are still engineers alive to that worked back in the early days and remember Howard (aka "Pappy" which was his nickname) well..... My dad's boss was Bill Hubert...the engineer who designed the fuselage for the Spruce Goose.... yes my dad did meet and received directives from "Pappy" on certain projects as did many of the engineers. My wife actually knew Pete Maheu, worked with his son and grandson as well as Dave Grant (aka the professor). The last years of his life were as well documented "designed" to abscond with his money upon his death.....An FBI agent upon his retirement wrote a book on the happenings and who was involved... and this included financial sector people, lawyers and a host of outsiders from around the world. The foundation took the info to Federal Court in Nevada... although it was heard by a Judge, he early ruled that because 100% of the money had been vastly distributed over the past 10 years, there was nothing to gain by a trial.... his own medical team and physical trainer that he had your decades was replace in the last 3 years (IIRR) with another outsider group which is when he began going downhill. Did he have discomfort from his airplane accident- yes; Did he have hearing deficiency from the airplane crash- yes; Was he germaphobic from his mother- NO; He was a child in Texas when the Black Plague" was around and the ONLY prevention that every parent knew was isolation within the family unit and hand washing (constantly). Was he a "sad" person- NO, prior to the criminal financial activity he was happy, active, like his cars and motorcycles and had a good life (that one could have given the notion/international espionage activities)... and had a complete fleet of Aircraft house at Santa Monica Airport with fulltime A/E mechanics that maintained the planes.....Barker Hanger was where they were at. There is just SOOO much mis-information derived from SM/PR that I can't even begin to go into this. But if you would like to interview me, I would be "open" to this.

Just sharing for those who aren't familiar with allodynia, because it can be maddening and quite difficult to deal with. It's one of the things I have (best docs can figure is it's from the fibromyalgia and my whackadoodle nervous system), and the way I describe a bad day is *anything* that touches or brushes against the skin hurts, especially seams, cotton that isn't super soft or 'brushed', and even the slightest pressure (ex: from leaning back in a chair or lying down in bed). There have been times that I couldn't stand nail files vibrating my fingers (though I do grit my teeth, and file my talons as needed), and I have definitely fashioned a super soft, fleece blanket into a toga or wrap dress or jammies, and worn that around the house (sans literally anything else) on several occasions. I also have chronic pain, from several conditions, but I feel that is probably more commonly known than allodynia. I'm not trying to 100% explain Hughes with my comment - only offering a bit of pain warrior insight for those who said "ALLO-what? ALLO-who?" when the wonderful Dr Grande included this condition in his analysis. And thank you, Dr Grande, for opening the door that let me explain and educate just a bit about this symptom / condition.😊

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

Hi Dr Grande. I have watched many of your 'interesting opinions' on various people and their conditions. I am wondering if I could ask you a question on a more personal level. I have been diagnosed with PTSD arising from a 'love deprived' and violent childhood, various incidents as an adult and a ( non life threatening but debilitating ) health condition. I am a female, have just turned 68 and retired 6 yrs ago. Since retiring I have found my social anxiety has become worse instead of better. But I am glad to say the mood swings and uncontrollable anger which has plagued me for most of my life, has settled quite a lot. I am as happy as I expect to be. I am not even the slightest bit suicidal ( the opposite really). I am not sad nor melancholy. I DO have a feeling of worthlessness and I become very easily upset by people and hurtful comments ie. I am thin skinned ( a real issue all my life) I am depressed in the sense that I don't want to do anything which requires effort. mostly I just want to sleep. Daily routines like bathing, getting dressed or even eating have become chores that I put off as much as possible. I don't want any social contact and in fact have not spoken face to face with anyone for 10 months. I live alone except for my very loving dog, ( which is in fact the only thing I love or have ever really felt love for.) I have two grown children whom I care about but honestly I do not feel as much love for them as I do for my dog. In fact we are estranged and I have not had contact for 12 years. Most of my family are dead. . My husband is dead but we were estranged too. He contributed to my feelings of inadequacy though so I am not sorry there. I do not live in the USA but we are closely allied and frankly the whole POTUS issue at the moment is depressing as the outcome is likely to affect diplomatic relations between countries. It churns me up inside worrying about the future. NOW... Quite by chance I came across an interesting article that suggested that Borderline Personality Disorder is often overlooked as a diagnoses and PTSD / social anxiety / depression is diagnosed INSTEAD when they are just components of the BPD. Almost all symptoms of BPD fit me perfectly and I feel sure that I have that and nOT just PTSD etc.. I take 100mg of Sertraline daily which helps calm my churning insides about 70% but any thought of social interaction or even just going shopping and they are no help at all. MY QUESTION. Would a therapist want ME to tell THEM my thoughts and feelings on the subject ( my self diagnosis etc.) or should I just let them drag it out of me with questions. The person I saw before was extremely nice and competent and made me feel much better by just understanding. But I don't want to offend by insinuation that I need deeper investigation/ help. This condition has ruined my life and is so debilitating. I guess I am high functioning because it would not be evident to many people how I am feeling most of the time. I held down a job where human interaction was important, for over 25 yrs. But as I look back there were times when the symptoms of BPD were clearly evident and my emotional actions were definitely responsible for situations. I have empathy and sympathy but I am selective...eg. I have no sympathy for anyone who is effected by the Covid lockdowns unless they lost their job/ business or a loved one. Just whining that they cannot go to nightclubs or sporting events leaves me cold. But I am devastated for people who have lost everything in some of the natural disasters this year on top of the lockdown...does that make sense. Anyway.I am not asking you to diagnose me ( as I know you would never do that !🥴) but just your opinion on how I should approach the whole thing with a professional. I know Drs. don't like their clients to tell them their job. But it makes sense to me to cut out the unnecessary crap and cut to the chase. I am more than happy to discuss remuneration with you for your time ( should you choose to respond). Best Regards ( my name is Robyn) and thank you in anticipation. 🇦🇺

I supported a lady who had worked very closely with Howard Hughes (she has now died) she asked me to take her to see the movie "The Aviator" as she was curious as she had seen the trailer. After we watched the film she told me that she did not recognise Howard in any part of the film.. That he was made out to be "some sort of nice hero in the film" And that the film didn't touch at all on his most interesting aspects of his life or personality. She said he was entertainingly!! narcissistic, selfish (never learnt to share), truly entitled and very racist amongst other things (he was completely against black civil rights and had a low tolerance for italians). She said he had difficulties in respecting and listening to women including herself. Though he had married a woman she was pretty sure Howard was bi sexual "He fluttered". And he had boundaries/rules regarding everything. I hope another film maker in the future represents him properly in the future. As he is an interesting individual.

Tesla? Howard Hughes? Are these prequels to an Elon Musk episode?

[@Zach-h2l]

well there's been someone that's been requesting a vid on Howard Hughes for the past couple weeks and dr. Grande hearted some of those comments so that's at least one reason

[@oliversmith9200]

I would be intrigued by the comparison. Disorders aside, I think they're birds of the same ideological feather. I was particularly interested when Musk quipped recently about a US backed coup change of government in Bolivia; something to the effect of - America can coup any country we want any time we want. Incidentally, the Bolivians managed to vote their leftist party of choice back in on the next election cycle. I guess the right wing government didn't get the Diebold voting machines in fast enough to control the elections. It must be wonderful to have some sort of accountable representative democracy going. I can only imagine from my location. Then too, Musk has announced that ~ his ~ Mars Colony won't be answerable to Earth governments or law. From this, I wonder if his vision is of a Martian Muskopoly? I wonder, has he watched "The Expanse"? 'Belters gona rise... [I'm a fan. Pardon the plug.] I find the minds of silver spooned egocentric elites the most fascinating of specimens... Oops. What clues have I just given to my own personality disorders?

[@derstoffausdemderjoghurtis]

Sad that people compare someome like Elon Musk with tesla..

[@robertcaffrey6097]

Thanks Dr Grande very interesting as usual. An ordinary average person with similar characteristics to Hughes would most likely get sectioned under the mental health act but as you say a wealthy person would be simply called eccentric. Please do a detailed profile on the traits and psychology of a loner.

I enjoyed this analysis of Howard Hughes. Thank you, Dr. Grande

[@carmen9432]

If he felt pain when touched, how did he manage to be such a ladies’ man? Like when you talked about him wearing the napkin with staff and girlfriends came and went.

[@sarah2.017]

Some things don't matter if you have money, and AFAIK most of his womanizing was before he became a recluse. Afterwards, he may simply have hired call girls.

[@garyjohnston6248]

Thank you for doing this analysis. I believe Howard Hughes was the most misunderstood person in the world. He was so mistreated and mocked because of his wealth. He got to see the 'Ugly Human Beings' This is when he cut off all conection with the outside world. Unfortanantely he then declined in health and the 'Ugly Human Beings' stepped back in to finish him off.

[@williammoore5277]

I worked at Hughes Aircraft from 1980-1998. In 1985 the Federal Govt changed tax law concerning assets belonging to Non-profits, which HAC belonged to, and HAC was sold to GM. We had many fun times doing our best to convince The People from Delco that Howard's ghost was hanging around because he he distained 'Bean Counters'.

[@litsabradford5043]

Great work, thank you. Will you consider doing Jordan Schlansky from Conan O’Brien’s show? Fingers crossed!

[@abramgaller2037]

There are two inventions by Hughes that are notable in that they give a clue to his personality and are still in widespread use ,that is the modern hospital bed,and countersunk rivets in external aircraft construction .

Crypto currency you think?

They always mean spot price, not the price of a round or coin. Spot price has more to do with buying large volumes, such as 1000 oz comex bars. You can't expect to get the same price as that when buying only one or two ounces. So for anybody still thinking of financial security I would say Buy Tesla stock and crypto 💯

Well done analysis. One tiny issue, though. As a Houstonian, I have to point out he was not born in San Antonio. Houston loves Howard Hughes and you can’t explore local historic buildings without being reminded of his childhood here. And his time at Rice, of course.
