Out of Darkness (Columbia Broadcasting System, 1956)

[@proud2bpagan]

she is so right about the initial feeling of resentment becoming a realization that it's been for your own good. When i was 15, my parents put me in a psych hospital bc i was violent and self destructive...i felt angry,and i was glad i felt angry,bc it meant i could still feel something. Other than anger,i was numb.I was angry bc i was a csa survivor,and the bitterness had long since washed over me. it was a speech by my therapist that began my journey out of the dark. he told the group that if we really wanted to show the person that hurt us they hadn't touched us, go out and be the biggest success you can be,and live as many of your dreams as you can. As i chewed on that,i began to realize he was absolutely right. That was the moment i began to reclaim my life.i am forever grateful. I'm 44 now, and 3 credits away from my BA in Psychology, then i'm going to go to get my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I want to pay forward the beautiful gift my therapist gave me.

Such care and compassion along with patience, what a wonderful example of how to reach people with love. This doctor sets a very high standard in care. I really wish that all patients in psychiatric hospitals could have this kind of understanding treatment. What a wonderful environment in which to recover.

[@BushyHairedStranger]

So do you mean Imagine being mentally ill and having caring Psychiatrists and Psychologists, professionals available who would actually show deference and compassion for patient’s? Imagine having the option to speak or not speak in ANY mental health appointment or any situation in life! without fear of negative reactions or consequences, responses. Imagine a world Where professional mental health care workers see you and speak to you three times a week, or more often, or less often, without judgement or forced participation or having bizarre ineffectual drug injections forced into you? So Imagine living in a world where non-violent People are actually loved because they are alive, that should be enough. We, as a Planet, can feed, house, clothe, & care for our most severely mentally impacted people, we can do it within our communities if we just talk together, with one another.. using less force, less judgement and less use of law enforcement as a means of controlling behaviors that do not harm self or others! That must start now.

[@DulceN]

Too bad we are not told what put her in that situation or what the diagnosis was…

[@flxmkr]

Back then, women were often depressed and lonely. They didn't have jobs; they stayed home and cleaned the house. There wasn't as much trash, not as much plastic, not as much to clean, so the housework was quickly completed. At the risk of sounding racist, she appears to have perhaps come from another country (although, she didn't seem to have an accent). Her skin tone appears darker. Back in the 50s and 60s, people were very judgemental, and racist against darker skin tones. So unless she was a member of a church or social group, which clearly she wasn't (or they would've showed up in the film), she spent entire days alone while her husband worked. If she came from another country, this would've increased her loneliness. Her family wouldn't be close enough to visit, and long-distance telephone charges would've been enormous; reducing the lines of communication even further. So she would've been isolated from her family. Her husband was at work all day. Television only had five channels, if she was lucky enough to have a decent TV (poor reception was the norm). Then when she ran into the streets unclothed, this would've discontinued any remaining socialization from the neighbors, and heightened her anxiety about being seen outside, if she had any lucidity at this point. During this era, ignorance was fear. If people didn't understand why a person acted a certain way, they cut off social contact with that person. They couldn't run to the internet to look up answers. They basically ...well...gossipped for answers. "Maybe somebody's uncle George had this problem." So neighbors talked to each other, causing further social anxiety in people who were the source of rumors. She appeared to be falling deeper and deeper into isolation with very minimal stimulation. It appears to me that her loneliness and lack of stimulation drove her into a state of general anxiety coupled with catatonic depressive illness bordering on psychosis. People need socialization. They need to be heard, they need to be recognized and they need to feel needed. Even people who appear to be withdrawn or in their own world -such as those with autistism or Alzheimer's - need socialization. They need to be recognized; and if they are in a retirement home or hospital setting, they need to be visited often. My guess is that as Doris sunk deeper into depression, her husband spent less time trying to converse with her-the opposite of what he should've done. Then when he probably asked her about running naked outside - a very normal reaction to the situation - her anxiety was impossible to manage, she completely shut down in a major depressive state and became catatonic. She continued to be approachable and reacted when guided, such as was the case when the nurse took her hand and guided her and fed her. But she didn't have enough mental energy to make simple decisions, such as where to sit. It took several sessions of patience, sitting and waiting on the doctor's behalf, before she was able to respond enough to pick up the comb. But I'm not a doctor.

[@LindaVanGalder-jt6yf]

The diagnosis was explained and I looked it up. In fact I had it before and it can kill you left untreated. Go back and rewatch everything. Why it is caused is sometimes poorly misunderstood even today.

[@patsulek1570]

That Dr. Was too creepy . That monotone speaking voice. The continued staring. Scary

[@danielvillasboas580]

These doctors look crazier than their patients.

[@BushyHairedStranger]

Dr. Louis S. Cholden was not a creepy man or doctor. He was incredibly loving and compassionate and its tragic we list him so early in hos life. He was on the path to helping the entire world. Speaking in soft semi-monotone is a calming technique, a proven successful use of therapy. Many schizophrenics have multiple voices screaming at them constantly, an avalanche of voices constantly smothering your senses. The Voices are often telling you to kill yourself, or to kill others, that you’re worthless, That you’re ugly, stupid, meaningless, useless, and these voices are ever changing in volume, demeanor, even sometimes mutating from male to female voices some that warp into little baby voices speaking in adult languages, backwards and sped down like a demonic wraith from Hades. Then the voices speed up to a hossing static noise, one that scraps across the insides of your brains, the voices speak in leering threatening tones often in other Iranian and Arabic languages, or in Russian and Spanish. Now imagine all that and then having a doctor speak to you with changing loud inflections! Yeah…not so calming. The technique in use of Calming voice helps ease stress response, it eases tensions, it works and has been proven scientifically to help calm hyper-vigilant patients and those struggling to communicate.

[@LindaVanGalder-jt6yf]

It really isn't creepy. It's realistic and that is the way mental health was back then and still is today often.

It almost looks like the brunette is falling in love with the therapist. It displays the desperate need of more female Doctors and therapists at the time. There was alot of abuse of trust in these institutions. Especially back then. And patients were placed in scenarios of which they would never be placed today.
