What blows my mind is that these two men could never have imagined that their brief conversation in this small room would be seen by 22 million people 61 years later.
No he knew. And he kept trying to tell the interviewer that there was 22 million people lying on their sides watching him through glass orbs powered by burning coal. Then the interviewer gave him more lithium and he forgot all about it
This is an old comment about this man that seems to have been lost: This man was my uncle. I'm not going to give any names, but for those of you who are concerned with how things turned out for him, not well. There's so much to address here. First let me say that he was being treated in this video with meds. Without the medication his mood ranged from complete delusion to catatonic. As for being gay, I don't think he had much of a sex drive at all. With or without meds. As for the idea that he was put here because he was gay by some unloving family, that's ridiculous. I don't have time to say all the things my family tried just to make his existence somewhat peaceful just for his own sake. My family had a couple of openly homosexual and lesbians in it even back in the sixties and with the exception of my mother's father no one gave a shit. My uncle suffered with meds and even more without. After forty some odd years, most of which he spent in institutions, he took his own life by way of drug overdose. By the way, the comment about the plot twist, he never had a piano was funny because he didn't. His seeming obsession with piano came and went as did obsessions with religion, especially the Catholic Church and government. As far as I know he couldn't play a lick. He was very ill at his best and a living shell at his worst. I hope that answers some questions because that's all I have to say on the matter. He's been gone since the late eighties and I really hope that other members of my family don't see this video, mostly because of the comments from people that somehow think they understand him better than the people who suffered with him. One last thing, I think people thought that he was talking about sitting or standing effeminately or something. No, he was talking about sitting or standing motionless for hours. Usually not even his facial expression would change but when it did it was usually related to something in his mind only. I really can't begin to tell you all how heartbreaking the whole thing was. He did seem intelligent and with meds he did remind me of a high functioning guy with autism I once met.
His body language and eye movements give off a vibe of being uncomfortably trapped in a prison of one's own mind and body that no matter how hard you try, you cannot escape. May he rest in peace.
More like he has experienced an overload of pain and is careful in his wording so that he can avoid further pain likely through some form of punishment (I think at this point it would have been very likely that he experienced this). I am guessing he was given medication etc if he acted up. I would say he is detached and in a way does not care, but would prefer not to experience more pain. The impression I have is that his existence is barely tolerable. Perhaps he is catatonic because it was already unbearable and a part of his consciousness shut down as a result (seems like he is experiencing anhedonia).
What is known so far today is that a lot of people suffering from psychosis which are not drug induced do have a brain damage caused by toxic oxidation of the brain due through their own body chemistry. The strange eyemovement is a symptom of the damaged brain and it can also be very rapid. Most psychotic patients are also reporting really bad headache. Our healthsystem and society should start to threat those people as what they are: Patients with a brain problem... We are not living in the 19th or early 20th century anymore and it is really disgusting that society is so little informed.
@@marc5445 I get the impression from the interview he played a piano before as a pure novice (pressing random keys to make a sound) but was very interested in learning how to play correctly.
@@ilikeuploadingvideos Who was the family member? can you send me a link for any info to this? I am really intrigued to find out what happened to this chap after all these decades.
he speaks like that due to meds and fear of saying the wrong thing and getting further electric shocks, was common practice back then, even now still in some cases is common practice
@@jaktam8765 people should not dislike anyone just because he is different from them, specially when it's not his fault that he is different . It's not his choice . So I don't understand what you mean exactly !
Depression haunted my life from a very young age, and I was put on a bunch of SSRIs as a child in attempt to deal with it. None worked. Psychedelic mushrooms was brought to my attention. It was the first thing that actually had real effects. They should only be used with great care and respect.
I hear this is supposed to be good for people who have mental health issues. I actually just started the research process of microdosing and all that. Im to the point where I want shock treatment.
For anyone who hasn't seen this already, here's a quote from someone who may be this dudes nephew or niece: "This man was my uncle.

@@cherifaimenemaroc1450 Thanks for the repost, I saw that comment a good while ago, not sure if it was posted somewhere down this video or on another upload
Our son lost his battle with schizophrenia in 2015. The voices were always negative but, through his immense suffering, he remained a very gentle, kindly soul totally empathetic for people and animals. I love you son and am sorry for this terrible affliction.
Sorry for your loss💕 I'm bipolar with psychotic features and the on and off psychosis is literally some of the scariest experiences of my life. I can't imagine what it was like for him to probably deal with psychosis every single day...
Watching this is so incredibly difficult. His internal preoccupation is palpable, and I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for him to focus on and answer the questions. From the beginning, I felt he spoke his truth, that he was there because he was "not like other people." I have worked in the field of mental health for over 20 years, especially with people with schizophrenia. And he is not wrong. Obviously, schizophrenia is a complex illness with both genetic and environmental risk factors. But, from a social perspective, one of the main experiences people with schizophrenia suffer from is that of not feeling quite like everyone else. And in many cases, the way they are treated by society and institutions, often as a nuisance or a menace, contributes to the sense of alienation. The loneliness of the illness is often what ends up killing them, and many people end up taking their own lives, either passively or actively. Also, I don't know if the interviewer is a psychiatrist or a psychologist, but his line of questioning is such bullshit, and he treated the guy with cold indifference, hostility, and suspicion. The interviewer knew exactly why the patient was there, but instead of trying to learn about his experience or provide him with comfort, he wasted his time by grilling the poor guy and condescending to him. UNACCEPTABLE! My heart is heavy with the grief for these people's experiences and with their families as well.
As a therapist, I can agree. He was very brash and definitely not compassionate at all. I’m sure he used this “cookie cutter “ men all clients…such a disgrace to the field.
Absolutely. I only wish someone who wished to understand him would have interview him, instead of someone only wanting to prod at and gawk at someone different than themselves.
I agree! The interviewer obviously knew why the man was there; he had the chance to ask more involving and purposeful questions… it’s a shame most psychological interviews from the past all seem to be so dated. I truly hope all patients in mental institutions in the present have improved in how they treat/view their patients.
It is amazing how you can see in his eyes that he is hearing seeing things, etc. and when he begins speaking about piano you can see his eyes be able to focus and move less, this makes me feel like speaking about something you love calms you and that calms his mind. It is just so interesting to see, this is amazing.
He was thinking of his answers he was trying to shut the voices off hes hearing before he answers cuz schizophrenics feel like their thought process is voiced arguing in their head telling him "hes stupid and dont answer him and dont trust him he doesn't like you that's a stupid answer dont say that"its always negative and poor self esteem he has delusions probably hallucinations watch his eyes.He is completely not intuned to this world,his frequencys way off.He barely understands why hes there.How can someone watch this and say hes smart,thoughtful,ect. I mean he only wants to play the piano for the peoples.Hes creepy but completely harmless.super paranoid.so sad
the pause denotes "catatonic schizophrenic"... it may also be that he is being queued when to respond? either way he seems to be a genuinely tortured soul.
@Ace Carter your comment is the reason America is at this situation! Look at the places which is not diversified, still backward and full of narrow/shallow minds (like you)! The country is mostly run by the diversity, this country built on diversity! It is still consider a great strength!
This dude is having a mental battle inside. You can see it from his long pauses before answering, and eyes shooting around. He's got a tough mind though he's very composed.
"as soon as I express the belief that I do not belong in this hospital... which is a mental hospital.. then... those who dislike me want to find a worse place for me..." I find this line from the patient very heartbreaking in particular, because it goes to show how he was considerably aware regarding the world around him... Medicine and psychiatric science has come a very long way undoubtedly, although, I can't help but to feel we're all just as ignorant regarding schizophrenia as we were 50+ years ago. so subjective from patient to patient, and such a very complex disorder without a doubt.
I have watched the older videos of "therapy". Not one time has the therapist have any guidance or validation of his feelings. Just to be able to hold this man's hand and hug him, just to let him feel peace and happiness. Heartbreaking!!
therapy for patients with psychiatric problems is bit different from what we do in a psychotherapy for healthy people with problems or concerns. You should not validate imagined thoughts or hallucinations
@@lenkahomolova3715 hi there, i am a psychiatrist who works exclusively with severe schizophrenia (clozapine and beyond) for the last 5 years. Although youre right in saying that we should not reinforce delusional beliefs, we can and should validade and help them naming their feelings, even though they are a byproduct of psychosis. We even can say some remarks like "you may be very afraid of telling me things and i do bad things to you" as the patient appears sometimes in this interview. These US vintage therapists are stone cold and very technical, nowadays we know that setting the affective tone by making our own emotions very clear and expressive may be very therapeutical to them. This absolute neutrality (heritage from early psychoanalysis influence) can make the patient more anxious as they have impairments in social communication skill and "reading" the interviewer feelings ans intentions. I'm not sure if i was clear, english is not my first language, sorry for any mistake
I feel so sorry for him. He seems such a gentle soul. Lost in a world he doesn't understand. We can go to the moon, but we can't help people like him. So sad...
@@curtisvenom32 i’m not sure if you thought patricia’s comment was negative, but nobody’s saying anything is wrong with the man in the video in the sense that he’s hurting anyone. schizophrenia is a very difficult, complex, and scary thing to have and in severe cases like this man’s, just “letting him be” means letting him suffer with a debilitating condition. patricia was just expressing their wish that he could have had more help dealing with his schizophrenia.
I was actually diagnosed with schizophrenia 20 years ago as a teenage. Spent my whole life fighting schizophrenia. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma
Don't confuse mental illness with mental retardation. Being highly intelligent doesn't prevent that intelligence from being used incorrectly. He was very intelligent, but somehow his wires got crossed and he was living an alternate reality.
Chances are he may of been traumatized, he seems almost like when a child is in trouble but doesn’t know what to say to deescalate the situation. Medicine has come along way but make no mistake it was not kind to people who were mentally different.
If you have an anxiety problem then you can get traumatized very easily. If your amygdala is malfunctioning, or overreactive, you're going to be very anxious and insecure. You'll have a very difficult time relating to other people because you're so confused on how to do it. Do they hate me for who I am? Did I do something wrong? You're overwhelmed by paranoia and distrust, constantly fighting ghosts in your mind, and also resenting the fact that you have to deal with others in your life. In addition to that, you can get delusional and think you're more than you are while at the same time thinking others have prevented you from doing your best. It's you against the world and the world against you. You've developed the biggest ego but have the smallest self-esteem. Going from one extreme to the other is what drives you crazy and paralyzes your life. There are so many issues going on you don't know what the fuck to do. Sadly, I'm talking from experience.
My heart breaks for him. It seems clear to me that the lack of time in his responses is likely because there are voices attempting to answer these questions for him and he relays those answers when the "voices" finish telling him. Most people will never understand schizophrenia just like most people don't have much compassion for those afflicted by it. It sounds as though he has since passed away and I'm certain that he's in heaven with all the clarity he will ever need (happiness too) RIH
"As soon as I express the belief that I do not belong in this hospital, which is a mental hospital, then those who dislike me want to find a worse place for me." That's so sad.
He saw him self as a normal person, he doesn't understand what is wrong with him so he would never recognize he is ill. I also bet that the care takers in that hospital could have been cruel to him, to the point of threatening him to take him to a worst hospital.
and what’s fucked is that’s really how it works. I’ve been in and out of institutions, the more you try to say you’re fine or “normal” the more they push onto you, and the worse they treat you for being resistant. God forbid if you get too rowdy or else they’ll hold you down and give you some sedatives.

Jared Lee Loughner Was diagnosed with schizophrenia.. He murderd 6 ppl and wounding gabby grifford, an elected official to the republic... A congress woman.... The last two school shooter, excluding the kid from Michigan who's name escapes me, without looking it up. R no different than Jared Lee Loughner .. Suffering from mental duress and acting out negative emotional bad behaviour, commiting egregious crimes motived by hate... That hate is Marxist ideology predicated on the weak minds of individuals who have no knowledge on proper behaviour in a normal society, to deal with Marxist socialist fascist societies.. Socialism is a disease, witch is well documented throughtout federalist papers, but never targeted exactly as leftist ideology, mostly dew to the fact it's not well known at that time of what socialism is, still today debated... ..This individual is in the right place for him, regardless of how he feels, witch is a clear indication of how he feels in this vid about how ppl c or feel about him, he can be easily triggered. .. His mental state can de radicalized by leftis ideology at a whim, because of his intelligence of reasoning and rasholiizing what is not right... Anyone can become confused of this.... the best thing for him is to stay institutionalize and away from a vigorous society that can aid him in murdering ppl... . He dose not know he is sick. .. Democracies have a tendency to revolutionize young minds... That's the idea of Marxisum.. I have watch ppl with mental health commint egregious sin for over 2 decades. Stabbing if multiple individuals with over 20 knife wonds to the upper torsos and face where the mentality I'll was revolutionized by thoughts of delusion grandeur.. All these individuals I have watched r well educated intelligent individuals who eventually became schizophrenia, al, the ones iv ceen have murderd.. Vary few like this one is kept in a safe place for his own safety. .. It's sad ...
He's like a real-life cartoon. Or a painting that came to life. It is amazing though, its actually the reason I opened this video....I wanted to see if it was CGI.
Its so sad to know that beyond his having an illness. He felt so out of touch with the world. What a lonely feeling. Many people i think have felt that way at some point in life. I had a family member who had a mental illness very similar and it is compounded i think with depression of feeling like they never belong or can be understood. I hope he is at peace and happy
I worked most of my life with DDAs, a few were just like him. I learned so much from them as a caregiver, I was blessed. They truly will always be some of my most favorite ppl on this earth. I wish I had known him. ❤
this is an instructional video made by actors to teach students of psychiatry. It's made by the Theater Arts Department of the University of California. Watch the beginning of the video. It's a tool for teaching students, it is often done, it's called a "video vignette". Look it up. It's illegal to show actual patients. For another example of a psychiatric video vignette, look at this th-cam.com/video/4YhpWZCdiZc/w-d-xo.html, and read the last paragraph of the introduction.
This was fascinating in terms of gaining a greater understanding of the immense diversity and complexity of the human mind, while also being horrifically sad in seeing the extreme pain that diversity and complexity can cause.
He looks like he almost has a smirk when he speaks of being disliked and certainly there’s a charm about him that lights up. He seemed like a sweet person with good awareness and understanding of how others perceived him. I hope he lived the best life he could manage and that people treated him better
I can watch him for hours, he is so gentle, calm and mezmerizing. But I cant sustain a 1 minute of any modern people talking. Am I alone in this opinion?
Something that struck me as crazy is his response..”I cannot describe an illustration”. Reason I say that is because when talking to a.I. chatbots about abstract concepts I got this exact same response several times from the a.I.
Paul Brinkerhoff There’s no point. Feeling bad for him is masturbatory. If he was still alive, your sympathy still couldn’t improve his situation. Feeling bad for him still wouldn’t make you want to spend time with him. I grew up with a close family member with schizophrenia. Learning that nothing you do can possibly change them, that you can never fix them.. It’s taken my entire life to accept. I’ve dealt with guilt for a long time over distancing myself. But, I promise you, they are a wood chipper that you could feed your heart to, and it wouldn’t change anything.
Я тоже когда смотрел видео где общались с такими людьми в прошлом, заметил их правильную и интересную речь. Люди в прошлом однозначно лучше излагали свои мысли.
Do you know what schizophrenia is you moron? He thinks people don’t like him when in reality they don’t care at all. That’s literally the disease, nobody actually dislikes him and he’s trying to convince himself that they do.
@@Bradyn08 Agree or disagree: Ableism exists. If you say agree, then assuming at least some people hate him because he doesn't act like them is automatically correct because of the existence of ableism. If you disagree, then either I envy you or pity you from how much you need to go outside.
This was such an intriguing conversation. From the interviewer and how he asks the questions in order to get more information from the young man to how the young man prepares his answers and response. "People dislike me because I am not like them" is very sad.
Yeah have you seen the special books by special kids videos on yt?? Some patients explain these issues way better since they have been through therapy. Its insane how it must feel to be them.
@@joserolon3910 it's a simple way to look at it for sure. However, a lot of mental illnesseses like this have been found to be caused by drug use or a trauma injury. Also, my use of 'god love him' is actually a saying that is said a lot where I come from lol I mean 'poor soul' or 'such a shame my heart goes out to him' its just a saying people say a lot where I'm from even if they are not people of the cloth x thanks for the comment ♥️
as a psychologist this video hit me hard. in years therapy models and methods have changed. we can analyze catatonia from different point of views but the sickness never changes. the soar and agony is universal for those people. i hope someday science can find complete recovery.
I chuckled too. That's when some of us find the humor when it was accidentally presented. Lol. Bless his heart. It's almost like when your child says they don't like your haircut or you're fat or something. Lol.
@Isabela McK It didn't seem that way to me because a few moments later he thought of a way to explain it a little clearer. The whole situation is sad though. 😢
I almost laughed, but the pause as with every other answer made me realize that mind of his was swarming and searching for ways to answer and he either found something he thought to be displeasing or legitimately couldn’t find a way to explain. Either way, the time he takes to think before answering is beautiful and sad at the same time.
No he can't looks at the doc in the eye. When the doc looks down he staresbat him and when the doc looks up he starts darting back and forth trying to look at him
He sounds so frustrated with the fact that people see him differently. He doesn't know what's wrong and people treat him differently. Sounds like a fucking nightmare.
It is indeed a nightmare. Such a shame how in principle noone looks at him differently, but becuase he thinks people do, people will ACTUALLY look at him differently. And then we are out here complaining when our train is delayed -_-
Yeah try to live with one and tell me you feel sorry after that! My great aunt shits and pisses on my carpet to get attention🤢🤮 thank god her kids are stepping up finally!
I feel so bad for this man. He is a genius it is clear to me. His responses & situation I feel completely attached in the same way empathetic & sympathetic I know exactly how he feels
I have working with inmates in prison, and patients in the psychiatric hospital, I have a great education in this spectrum , I so wish that I could have the chance to meet someone like him, he is/ was a sad person but great to work with and study. I hope that he had some kind of a worthy life, and got the best help that was available at that time.
this makes me really sad to see, im a person with paranoid schizophrenia, its always been a battle for myself to find people, who understand my way of thinking and it is very rare that i open up to people because of it. I dont want to seem weird or like a lunatic and it often makes me very lonely and depressed. The signs began when i was 14 and just got worse throughout the years, now im getting help. The inteviewer here is so far out. What some might not understand is that this young gentleman, say what he is able to he is describing what he is able to, in that situation. He is a very intelligent young man and should be talked to differently, he is a human being and he want to be treated so. He needs help to find the tools that fit him and to be put in a mental hospital, can eventually make things worse if it dosent suit hes comfort and how he will acually benefit from the help. I hope this gentleman worked out hes dream with the piano and i hope he found peace.

Remember, you see a psychopath every day outside, they are succesful psychopath that are more smart than the unsuccessful psychopath who can't stop their actions and emotions
He's actually probably struggling to answer coherently. One of schizophrenia's features is a disorganized type of speech, so often times they simply say random things ('word salad') or repeat what they hear (echolalia). Notice how he latches on to certain words the interviewer asks him, saying them multiple times throughout his answers- he's latching on to what pieces of reality he can. It's a sad condition, given the oft-misunderstood (and even scary!) appearance it creates, without any choice on the part of the patient.

I've always been thinking if there's any way we can make those people happy, I mean of there's nothing they can do for their families and society then at least they deserve to be happy till the end. They are not bad. They are sweethearts, and they are so pure that they deserve to have a good life. I dunno how they would live their lives with all that much of sadness without knowing why, what their faul is or what they did to deserve it. It is such a big question I've always had in mind. I wish one day those nice hearts would find peace and happiness.

@@dr.lexwinter8604 You don’t think it’s possible for him to become traumatized by his illness or a particular event triggered by his illness?

@@dr.lexwinter8604 Seriously, do these people not realize that there is literally something wrong with his brain? That's not a judgement against him but it's like saying that someone who is walking with a limp due to a broken leg that they've obviously been traumatized. It's insulting to the patient and their families. They don't need random internet people making up reasons why they're ill. They need the illness to be acknowledged and treated.
Ive had schizophrenia for 10 years plus, but now enjoy life, have a family, and hear no voices or see any good/evil so on. It was the worst time of my life and yes your trapped mentally with all the other spirits and anything you could imagine, its like having a bunch of bad mushrooms, its the trip of a lifetime that you have to deal with every day, non stop mental battle, stress and loneliness is what gave me mental illness, and family is what help me get over my mental battle was tuff but i got there in the end.
it's called masking and it's learned through abuse and the manipulation of those who claim to care for you. ABA is a technique used for autistic kids and the basis for it is to teach kids how to mask and fit in with others. It does tremendous harm to the mind of an autistic person. I would imagine that something similar has happened to him and he has learned to internalize most of what he is going through in order to not get more abuse. It's incredibly sad to say the least.
That's the effect of catatonic schizophrenia which means that those who has it are able to be still for various minutes without moving anything exactly how this man is in this video, google can explain it better
This is a comment I found from someone claiming to be his nephew or niece: "This man was my uncle. I'm not going to give any names, but for those of you who are concerned with how things turned out for him, not well. There's so much to address here.

We all hear voices, from multiple sources, of both internal and external origin. Of both infernal and extraordinary origin. The brain does a wonderful job, usually, of converting these voices into our own. Tricking us into believing it is all internal and our own.
He was my father. He fathered me and then passed away less than a year later so. You can not know the pain in my heart that this gives me. But he does not lie. HE TOLD THE TRUTH. HE TOLD THE TRUTH.
Or because this is actually real.... meanwhile Hollywood paying actors millions of dollars to IMITATE conditions that are actually real for others.... horror movies exploit these conditions.
@@streamylc Hollywood does that with everything…but it just has this creepy vibe. There is a guy on TH-cam that interviews people with these conditions (modern interviews) and they are so good. Can’t remember the name - but you get a much better understanding of the conditions. For example now I understand what they used to call multiple personality. He also interviews a high functioning sociopath and it is soooo interesting.

he is called catatonic because he doesnt initiate conversation or even movement. he has to be forced basically or pushed by a doctor to even speak.

Thank you Tom. From the start of the video I instantly was concerned for his welfare. Your contribution here is very much appreciated.
Thank you for your comment and setting the record straight for those who assumed on his part without knowing the real story..RIP to your uncle.
His body language and eye movements give off a vibe of being uncomfortably trapped in a prison of one's own mind and body that no matter how hard you try, you cannot escape. May he rest in peace.
More like he has experienced an overload of pain and is careful in his wording so that he can avoid further pain likely through some form of punishment (I think at this point it would have been very likely that he experienced this). I am guessing he was given medication etc if he acted up. I would say he is detached and in a way does not care, but would prefer not to experience more pain. The impression I have is that his existence is barely tolerable. Perhaps he is catatonic because it was already unbearable and a part of his consciousness shut down as a result (seems like he is experiencing anhedonia).
You are very kind and very intelligent. Never let them go to waste help people heal and understand ❤
What is known so far today is that a lot of people suffering from psychosis which are not drug induced do have a brain damage caused by toxic oxidation of the brain due through their own body chemistry. The strange eyemovement is a symptom of the damaged brain and it can also be very rapid. Most psychotic patients are also reporting really bad headache. Our healthsystem and society should start to threat those people as what they are: Patients with a brain problem... We are not living in the 19th or early 20th century anymore and it is really disgusting that society is so little informed.

Sorry for your loss💕 I'm bipolar with psychotic features and the on and off psychosis is literally some of the scariest experiences of my life. I can't imagine what it was like for him to probably deal with psychosis every single day...
Watching this is so incredibly difficult. His internal preoccupation is palpable, and I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for him to focus on and answer the questions. From the beginning, I felt he spoke his truth, that he was there because he was "not like other people." I have worked in the field of mental health for over 20 years, especially with people with schizophrenia. And he is not wrong. Obviously, schizophrenia is a complex illness with both genetic and environmental risk factors. But, from a social perspective, one of the main experiences people with schizophrenia suffer from is that of not feeling quite like everyone else. And in many cases, the way they are treated by society and institutions, often as a nuisance or a menace, contributes to the sense of alienation. The loneliness of the illness is often what ends up killing them, and many people end up taking their own lives, either passively or actively. Also, I don't know if the interviewer is a psychiatrist or a psychologist, but his line of questioning is such bullshit, and he treated the guy with cold indifference, hostility, and suspicion. The interviewer knew exactly why the patient was there, but instead of trying to learn about his experience or provide him with comfort, he wasted his time by grilling the poor guy and condescending to him. UNACCEPTABLE!
My heart is heavy with the grief for these people's experiences and with their families as well.
As a therapist, I can agree. He was very brash and definitely not compassionate at all. I’m sure he used this “cookie cutter “ men all clients…such a disgrace to the field.
Absolutely. I only wish someone who wished to understand him would have interview him, instead of someone only wanting to prod at and gawk at someone different than themselves.
@@EditUnivers75 Me, too!
I agree! The interviewer obviously knew why the man was there; he had the chance to ask more involving and purposeful questions… it’s a shame most psychological interviews from the past all seem to be so dated. I truly hope all patients in mental institutions in the present have improved in how they treat/view their patients.
He killed someone you fool
It is amazing how you can see in his eyes that he is hearing seeing things, etc. and when he begins speaking about piano you can see his eyes be able to focus and move less, this makes me feel like speaking about something you love calms you and that calms his mind. It is just so interesting to see, this is amazing.
You are so right.
At least he thinks before he speaks unlike most people nowadays.
Exactly! The guy formulated his thoughts with great articulation. It's sad, honestly - he's almost too well-put for the world we live in.
He was thinking of his answers he was trying to shut the voices off hes hearing before he answers cuz schizophrenics feel like their thought process is voiced arguing in their head telling him "hes stupid and dont answer him and dont trust him he doesn't like you that's a stupid answer dont say that"its always negative and poor self esteem he has delusions probably hallucinations watch his eyes.He is completely not intuned to this world,his frequencys way off.He barely understands why hes there.How can someone watch this and say hes smart,thoughtful,ect. I mean he only wants to play the piano for the peoples.Hes creepy but completely harmless.super paranoid.so sad
the pause denotes "catatonic schizophrenic"... it may also be that he is being queued when to respond? either way he seems to be a genuinely tortured soul.
Amen to that.

I find this line from the patient very heartbreaking in particular, because it goes to show how he was considerably aware regarding the world around him... Medicine and psychiatric science has come a very long way undoubtedly, although, I can't help but to feel we're all just as ignorant regarding schizophrenia as we were 50+ years ago. so subjective from patient to patient, and such a very complex disorder without a doubt.
I have watched the older videos of "therapy". Not one time has the therapist have any guidance or validation of his feelings. Just to be able to hold this man's hand and hug him, just to let him feel peace and happiness. Heartbreaking!!
therapy for patients with psychiatric problems is bit different from what we do in a psychotherapy for healthy people with problems or concerns. You should not validate imagined thoughts or hallucinations
@@lenkahomolova3715 hi there, i am a psychiatrist who works exclusively with severe schizophrenia (clozapine and beyond) for the last 5 years. Although youre right in saying that we should not reinforce delusional beliefs, we can and should validade and help them naming their feelings, even though they are a byproduct of psychosis. We even can say some remarks like "you may be very afraid of telling me things and i do bad things to you" as the patient appears sometimes in this interview.
These US vintage therapists are stone cold and very technical, nowadays we know that setting the affective tone by making our own emotions very clear and expressive may be very therapeutical to them. This absolute neutrality (heritage from early psychoanalysis influence) can make the patient more anxious as they have impairments in social communication skill and "reading" the interviewer feelings ans intentions.
I'm not sure if i was clear, english is not my first language, sorry for any mistake

Don't confuse mental illness with mental retardation. Being highly intelligent doesn't prevent that intelligence from being used incorrectly. He was very intelligent, but somehow his wires got crossed and he was living an alternate reality.

If you have an anxiety problem then you can get traumatized very easily. If your amygdala is malfunctioning, or overreactive, you're going to be very anxious and insecure. You'll have a very difficult time relating to other people because you're so confused on how to do it. Do they hate me for who I am? Did I do something wrong? You're overwhelmed by paranoia and distrust, constantly fighting ghosts in your mind, and also resenting the fact that you have to deal with others in your life. In addition to that, you can get delusional and think you're more than you are while at the same time thinking others have prevented you from doing your best. It's you against the world and the world against you. You've developed the biggest ego but have the smallest self-esteem. Going from one extreme to the other is what drives you crazy and paralyzes your life. There are so many issues going on you don't know what the fuck to do. Sadly, I'm talking from experience.

My heart breaks for him. It seems clear to me that the lack of time in his responses is likely because there are voices attempting to answer these questions for him and he relays those answers when the "voices" finish telling him. Most people will never understand schizophrenia just like most people don't have much compassion for those afflicted by it. It sounds as though he has since passed away and I'm certain that he's in heaven with all the clarity he will ever need (happiness too) RIH

He saw him self as a normal person, he doesn't understand what is wrong with him so he would never recognize he is ill. I also bet that the care takers in that hospital could have been cruel to him, to the point of threatening him to take him to a worst hospital.
and what’s fucked is that’s really how it works. I’ve been in and out of institutions, the more you try to say you’re fine or “normal” the more they push onto you, and the worse they treat you for being resistant.

This was fascinating in terms of gaining a greater understanding of the immense diversity and complexity of the human mind, while also being horrifically sad in seeing the extreme pain that diversity and complexity can cause.
He looks like he almost has a smirk when he speaks of being disliked and certainly there’s a charm about him that lights up. He seemed like a sweet person with good awareness and understanding of how others perceived him. I hope he lived the best life he could manage and that people treated him better

I loved it when the interviewer asked if he could make a certain point clearer and he answered simply “no”. 😂
Yeah like I was thinking man he is being pretty clear so when he said no I thought it was great
Before he answered no, I had a feeling that he was gonna say it! 😄

“Could you make that clearer.”

I’m back watching this, I first watched it when I was taking psych class in 2020
I’m here after watching beautiful mind November 7 2023. Tuesday.
It's like he is listening to multiple answers in his head and then responds with the best answer.

No, he’s just catatonic

Look at his rapid eye movement. One can only wonder what is going on in his head. He seems very intelligent though.
I can imagine the inner monologue is really intense, but he's learned to choose his words very wisely.
I'm sure he hears and sees people in the room
@Chap ........... that is incredibly untrue. Don't know how you came to that conclusion, but you should really go out and do some extensive research.
@@juanvaldes3208 the guy on the video talked with Jordan Peterson...? Wat?
@Chap What? Are you joking? Yes you can be mentally ill and highly intelligent!
Something that struck me as crazy is his response..”I cannot describe an illustration”. Reason I say that is because when talking to a.I. chatbots about abstract concepts I got this exact same response several times from the a.I.
He has a lovely voice and that just makes the whole situation even more disturbing
I feel a deep sadness for this man. Fully believing that everyone hates you, including your father, based on your very existence. Breaks my heart.
Paul Brinkerhoff
There’s no point. Feeling bad for him is masturbatory. If he was still alive, your sympathy still couldn’t improve his situation. Feeling bad for him still wouldn’t make you want to spend time with him.
I grew up with a close family member with schizophrenia. Learning that nothing you do can possibly change them, that you can never fix them.. It’s taken my entire life to accept.
I’ve dealt with guilt for a long time over distancing myself. But, I promise you, they are a wood chipper that you could feed your heart to, and it wouldn’t change anything.

Don’t be foolled, schizophrenic people want you to feel empathy for them

I know, right? There's something to your suggestion.
You know what this is? This is a conversation piece. And the futher into the future we go the more relevant it becomes.
as a psychologist this video hit me hard. in years therapy models and methods have changed. we can analyze catatonia from different point of views but the sickness never changes. the soar and agony is universal for those people. i hope someday science can find complete recovery.
You missed your chance, and failed, the recovery wasn’t his to be made, it was yours!!
I had to laugh when the doctor said "I don't understand, could you make that clearer for me?". (long pause). Answer: "No". Love the honesty.
I chuckled too. That's when some of us find the humor when it was accidentally presented. Lol. Bless his heart. It's almost like when your child says they don't like your haircut or you're fat or something. Lol.
@Isabela McK It didn't seem that way to me because a few moments later he thought of a way to explain it a little clearer. The whole situation is sad though. 😢
adding that there is a similarity of Autism/ Spectrum with these responses! nowadays, we have progressed. I hope.
I understood what he meant
I almost laughed, but the pause as with every other answer made me realize that mind of his was swarming and searching for ways to answer and he either found something he thought to be displeasing or legitimately couldn’t find a way to explain. Either way, the time he takes to think before answering is beautiful and sad at the same time.
Notice his eyes darting back and forth. He has so much trouble focusing on the man or anything else. He seems so terrified and stuck. God bless him.
He's incapable of feeling fear

this makes me really sad to see, im a person with paranoid schizophrenia, its always been a battle for myself to find people, who understand my way of thinking and it is very rare that i open up to people because of it. I dont want to seem weird or like a lunatic and it often makes me very lonely and depressed. The signs began when i was 14 and just got worse throughout the years, now im getting help. The inteviewer here is so far out. What some might not understand is that this young gentleman, say what he is able to he is describing what he is able to, in that situation. He is a very intelligent young man and should be talked to differently, he is a human being and he want to be treated so. He needs help to find the tools that fit him and to be put in a mental hospital, can eventually make things worse if it dosent suit hes comfort and how he will acually benefit from the help. I hope this gentleman worked out hes dream with the piano and i hope he found peace.

I know that worried about how people perceive him probably! So sad
Remember, you see a psychopath every day outside, they are succesful psychopath that are more smart than the unsuccessful psychopath who can't stop their actions and emotions
He's actually probably struggling to answer coherently. One of schizophrenia's features is a disorganized type of speech, so often times they simply say random things ('word salad') or repeat what they hear (echolalia). Notice how he latches on to certain words the interviewer asks him, saying them multiple times throughout his answers- he's latching on to what pieces of reality he can. It's a sad condition, given the oft-misunderstood (and even scary!) appearance it creates, without any choice on the part of the patient.

I've always been thinking if there's any way we can make those people happy, I mean of there's nothing they can do for their families and society then at least they deserve to be happy till the end. They are not bad. They are sweethearts, and they are so pure that they deserve to have a good life. I dunno how they would live their lives with all that much of sadness without knowing why, what their faul is or what they did to deserve it. It is such a big question I've always had in mind. I wish one day those nice hearts would find peace and happiness.

yep, especially while heavily medicated and probed.
@@dr.lexwinter8604 Seriously, do these people not realize that there is literally something wrong with his brain?

Imagine having a chaos inside of your head and still able to be composed like that.
it's called masking and it's learned through abuse and the manipulation of those who claim to care for you. ABA is a technique used for autistic kids and the basis for it is to teach kids how to mask and fit in with others. It does tremendous harm to the mind of an autistic person. I would imagine that something similar has happened to him and he has learned to internalize most of what he is going through in order to not get more abuse. It's incredibly sad to say the least.

he is called catatonic because he doesnt initiate conversation or even movement. he has to be forced basically or pushed by a doctor to even speak.
