Real psychologist reviews mental illness memes

[@drali]

What are your favorite memes about mental illness and mental health?

[@rea8585]

Mental illness in the kidneys was epic

[@drali]

So good!

[@ashmikashrivastava]

Procrastination at its best🙋

[@drali]

I've got that one in part 2!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKDdkmCorN9lj9E

[@samamies88]

Not the best ones to see shared but best ones to start deep and constructive coversations: the quotes/aphorisms that seem to have a good message at 1st but when you think about them they either don't make sense, are false or even harmul ways to think. Like "Depression isn't about being weak. Its cuz i tried to act strong for too long". Also "Painful things teaches us lessons" (not actual quotes but i've seen multiple that had those ideas)

[@MidnightRose.]

Psychology should really be a required class in school. Maybe then people would be less ignorant of all these disorders.

[@cooper197]

Sam W the fact I didn’t like because the number 3 and multiples of such scare me (obsessive compulsive tendencies) proves your point hurt know you should have one more like than that

[@crisptomato9495]

It’s taught at my school but it isn’t mandatory.

[@VotEtoPizdets]

We are about to see a generation of psychologists that are akin to the Ambulance Chasers of the discipline of law. I agree with you completely. Psychology should be a standard class in intermediate and highschool. The only problem is the public school districts regulating their standards for who is qualified to teach the class. Unfortunately today, i see so many psychologists who are not qualified to perform their work. The most toxic trait ive been witnessing is psychologically fractured individuals such as recovering addicts entering the field of mental heath and wellness and then using their minimal education in psychology to justify acting on their character defects. I could discuss this for hours and not run out of alarming experiences regarding these individuals and the damage they cause when they use their clients as a coping mechanism or using their clients session as their own therapy at the expense of their clients wellbeing. People do not like being called out for this. I find it difficult to constructively criticize peoples acting on this without having the individual immediately take offense at the mere suggestion of it. As we know, this shuts them down quite fast and has the opposite effect that one would be looking to have on the situation. You would think that a clinician would be the epitome of Self Awareness yet this couldnt be further from the truth. At least that is my own subjective experience in life. I sometimes wonder if i am engaging in this form of though as a way of justifying an unhealthy level of objectivity or if it is truly as bad as i perceive it to be. Clinicians need therapists more desperately than their clients do, haha.

[@echotheresa]

"Is that pot?" What we have here, fellow audience members, is an Actor. Fantastic acting.

[@drali]

Haha...honestly, I just had a hard time seeing it on my phone.

I didn't know I could learn so much from a meme review

[@drali]

Yay! Part 2 will be out next week if you're interested in learning more.

[@Cassxowary]

Watch Dr Mike and Dr Hope’s même reviews if you are interested in physical health ones

[@lorettamowell8764]

6:03 I sometimes hear voices. I noticed a new coping mechanism for myself. I recently got a pet and a boyfriend. If I hear a negative voice I'll glance at my dog or BF. If either one of them seem completely calm and don't notice me looking around, then I'm able to realize it might just be in my head.

[@inconnu4961]

Thats a very good idea! I also tend to hear things once in a while that others dont. I have hearing damage, so i will hear phantom sounds or voices.

[@elisapiva3309]

when you talked about trusting your therapist I really felt it. at the time, I was working with her for about two or three months and I talked about a lot of things, personal things, but avoiding the real hard truth. once, I was so sad, so worn out of my feelings and alone that I went to an appointment with her and I started crying even before she asked me how I was feeling. that's the moment I understood that I undoubtedly trusted her because I never let myself cry in front of other people (let alone a stranger) and since then I improved with my mental health. still not out of the mess I created in my head, but I definitely feel more comfortable sharing my life with her and that's liberating

[@DrAdnan]

This was a fun one! I haven’t seen most of these memes, surprisingly.

[@drali]

Stay tuned! Part 2 will be out next week.

[@shoutarho6081]

I never would have thought I'd come to a point in my life at which I accidentally stay up til 4am watching a psychologist doing a meme review. I loved it though, and your commentary gives very good insight and a basic foundation to start seeing things from different perspectives.

[@kirstywalker6950]

Lets play whats that stomach ache today -hunger -stress -nail biting -eating to much -general illness

[@LaBowza]

I really needed to hear that little bit you said about acceptance today. I’ve semi recently been diagnosed with MS and am trying to get to that point of accepting this new reality and the physical, mental and emotional challenges I now have to face that I never had to prior to all this. I like what you said “It’s not your fault you’re experiencing this and it’s your responsibility”. Thank you for creating this channel! Keep on keepin’ on ✊

[@drali]

Thank YOU for sharing this! I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It's always difficult to face a chronic condition. When you are ready, it might be helpful to connect with other individuals who have MS and learn more about how they've faced some of the situations you might face, including coming to terms with the diagnosis. Thanks again for being a part of this community!

[@MagisterialVoyager]

As someone with no mental illness (at least I believe I don't have any, I function normally with occasional sprinkle of laziness and "oh no that cat doesn't like me!!! it's personal") I feel really healthy mentally just by watching this for I can't relate to any of it. I'm sorry for everyone who does. I wish you all the best with battling if not living with it.

[@SuviTuuliAllan]

Mentally well? Neurotypical? Btw a lot of people say person with blah blah blah but blah person is preferred (unless some individual prefers person-first then go with that)

[@ellw7830]

😊 thank you, it really does mean a lot. For me, at least, a little extra support can change my world.

[@milofinnliot1617]

its a wild ride

[@bearded-cat]

I am very jealous of your mental state.

[@taylortiwari7118]

I loved this video because the memes are my life, and your commentary was very soothing and validating.

[@drali]

So happy to hear you enjoyed it! I ended up recording 60 minutes of this so I'm splitting it up. I'll have part 2 up next week and part 3 up the week after.

[@dylanbellisario9171]

what’s your reddit username?

[@meltheflyingpotato]

Your videos are so comforting. I was just diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and mild depressive disorder and I’ve been going to therapy as well as taking meds just to live from day-to-day as a uni student. The constant urge to isolate myself and run from every possible interaction that had the slightest chance of humiliating me or resulting in confrontation terrified me so much that I’ve cut ties with so many people and I was faced with the pain of having panic attacks and depressive episodes more often than when I was younger. I’ve been binge watching your videos and the information you give to your audience is packaged in such a calm and comforting way and I honestly hope that this channel blows up and reaches not just people like me who are struggling but also those who have no idea at all about mental illness.

[@drali]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me that my videos have helped you in some small way. That’s why I make them 🙌🏽

[@AB-oq4sr]

I would love for you to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 5 Episode 16 "The Body" Her mother dies unexpectedly and everyone is reacting and coping differently with their grief. It's the most realistic portrayal of dealing with death I've ever seen, and it's critically acclaimed as "the best hour of television of all time." So I think it would be pretty wonderful for a psychologist to review it.

[@TheVirus199613]

Great video! You also have a very calming presence.

[@drali]

Thank you!!!

[@Haffina]

Acceptance of my mental illness has been, and still is sometimes, the hardest part of it all.

[@ashmikashrivastava]

I really liked the detailing (tied up skin) on the cartoons back

[@lillab477]

I thought he was gonna start beinglike "oh no memes are bad dont cope with jokes " but nah I learned more through this video than I have all school year.

[@breeb2638]

Wow. As someone with various mental health issues, this video is very validating for some of the symptoms I experience. I imagine you are an excellent therapist. Validation of perceptions of experiences can do a lot in it of itself.

[@gozuvelasco1042]

0:46 I relate to this so much, my endo said it, my neurologist said it, my nutritionist said it, my therapist said it, my parents said it, even i said it. Im exercising every day, 1 hour 30 minutes or more, I've been for over a month now i belive. im still anxious, im still having random panic attacks, im still having depressive episodes, i feel the same, just more tired and disconnected from myself, but imma try to do it for 3 more months to see if it gets better. You know that immediate chemical reaction, cerotonin, melatonine or something like that, that happens after or during workout? I get none of those.

[@ultimateninjaboi]

Little victories are honestly just as important as major breakthroughs and milestones. They're just easier to miss.

[@happy2game726]

Good impression of Rick :D

[@drali]

THANK YOU!!!! I was wondering if anyone would notice 😀

[@redbean7782]

My favorite is "When you're depressed as f*** but nobody cares because I'm not a girl"

I binge watch shows to help me and one that helped the most was stranger things, I’d love for you to review eleven as a character because I relate to her so much

[@drali]

Thanks for the feedback! Maybe I could do a reaction video for the next season coming out this summer?

Aww thanks so much! I’ve got more psychology and mental health channels listed in the channel tab if you’d like to check out other folks. There’s also this playlist I made: kzbin.info/aero/PLItaCgXIQkHdqJsAuBUdeICqXUuz1SYt4

[@loadingmikke7451]

I have ADHD and had to rewatch your video, because of your awesome poster in the background, and getting distracted reading comments.

[@anikixvi]

The last one hit hard, I didn't even think that something like that would be in this vid

[@trybeinggr8239]

Why do we binge watch shows to cope? Is it because it's a temporary escape from our own problems and life? Also some people read or play video games. For me reading is too much work if I'm feeling emotional. I look for minimum work with maximum entertainment.

[@aleyhfreak]

Loving the cookie Steven shirt!

[@brynnagrace-]

Okay but what's worse than not getting a text back is sending an emotionally charged letter and getting no response

Just found your channel! You weirdly look so similar to my psychiatrist haha (wish he was as animated as you!)

[@castiels_trenchcoat974]

My anxiety is a bit less extreme when i’m at home so i sometimes think it’s fine. But then today, someone knocked on my door. I didn’t open, i was shaking like a leaf and the last time my heart was racing that badly i had a pulse of 145

[@rebeccajones9757]

The one about exercise is totally me! I can feel like complete garbage while I am hiking in the woods. Exercise and fresh air are great, but don't replace medication and therapy. I think these things keep me from getting worse, but they don't fix it.

[@mousetronauts783]

Hello sir. I was diagnosed as a DID patient a couple months ago. But till now i still confused what's the different between DID and MPD. Would you explain it on your next videos? Or you already have it? I love how you explain it, and yeah. I'm sure i could understand you better than my psychologist.

[@Micrurus]

Mousetronauts 7 MPD is the previous name designated to the symptoms of what is called DID now (assuming you mean Multiple Personality Disorder)

[@LourenceLeeServidad]

MPD is the layman's term for those who don't understand DID (and it's not even right), that's why we still hear about it now though they have updated MPD to DID. So basically, no difference.

The one thing that I couldn’t stand when I had a therapist was when they would ask how I felt and then I would say that I was okay and then they would say “okay is not a feeling is it?” Then they would keep trying to get me to give them emotions that I was feeling and would listen when I said that I genuinely didn’t know how I was feeling.

Once I see someone serious saying "There's literal no proof depression is real. Since is a mental thing it's always, of course, all made up" I lost some IQ talking with that person.
