"Let me get this straight, you want this random dude to be your therapist?" Literally this entire comment section: "I do, and I'm tired of pretending that I don't."
Look at it this way. The reason for memtal health resulting im violence is a.stigma is because moat of the time, people view things in a wromg/negative way. Why can we view.things in a positive way, instead of always being negative?
I just feel like everyone's all super awkward towards each other at first, once you get to know the person you'll eventually get comfortable around them, trust me I still feel hella awkward towards my best friend idk I just feel like he feels forced to hang out with me because I don't talk with anyone, we've been through elementary-highschool, but its just something that I try to keep out of my brain loop I guess Edit: there's assholes out there trust me, my best advice is to worry about yourself, better yourself, you came into this world alone, you've made it this far, whats another 19 years right? GO GET THAT BAG MY ENWARD OMM
I feel like Joker definitely has some symptoms of psychosis-- just not in this scene. But throughout the movie, he has these relationship building scenes with his neighbor, where he believes he's spending time with her. But at the end of the movie we see those scenes again, and see that she was never there with him.
The film had a funny way of over exagerating his toughts as mental ilness.If he had a normal paying job in a normal functioning city, where criminals didnt parede around, Wane enterprize.HE would not have any actuall problem in life.
@@JazzSingh many psychiatrists don't have any positive regard. They are in it for money quite often and don't care about their patients. Also, you don't have to have completely calm demeanor to present unconditional positive regard.
Girl Interrupted (both the movie and book) was so important to me when I got diagnosed with BPD. It showed me that, no matter how bad I felt at the time, I had a chance to live a normal life again.
As someone diagnosed with dysthymic disorder (long-term low mood….like Eeyore) I felt that movie on such a deep level. To this day, one of my favorite movies! 🥰
I've only seen the film and once when I was sent to a clinic for reasons no one really remembers (I was misdiagnosed with BPD, I struggle with depression, PTSD, GAD and panic attacks), all I could think about was that film and I was terrified. Fortunately I was able to convince my family to get me my own room. At first I avoided everyone until I couldn't anymore. Then it was like being with co workers.
@@levianleviathan9244 Tiktok can be very toxic. Ive seen "people" brag about pushing multiple people to suicide... Someone was proud because they did that to 3 or 4 kids who were furries...
I remember someone commented on Inside out that each parents central emotion might show what kind of thing they're dealing with. like with the dad for example anger rules and he might have anger issues or with the mom sadness rules which might show that she's depressed in a way
Not necessarily. The whole point of the movie is to show that having negative emotions is OK. These may just be their primary responses. It just the way that they deal with things. It doesn't necessarily mean that they have a neurochemical imbalance like in the issues that you mention.
Year late but I remember seeing a theory that the parents central emotion is a deeper symbol for a matured emotion like protective being anger for the dad and compassion as sadness for the mom, I think this would make sense as emotions are subjective but I don’t get the mom one
It's the driver's seat. Riley is "piloted" by joy; she pursues joy when she can and values joy as her objective. Showing joy is what makes her parents share that joy. Her mom is run by sadness, which here means empathy. She can see sadness, struggle, in others first and acts on it, trying to help. Their dad runs on anger, though that may be an unexplored, evolved version, such as assertiveness, protectiveness, or riotousness. The point is, the middle seat is the *driver* seat. The one who's "in charge".
And the fact that you so vaguely agree with his vague statement shows that you don't hold much water in your knowledge of mental illness, as he doesn't. People who are mentally ill do understand that there's something wrong with them, and it has a huge impact on how they see themselves and the world in general. If that's not the definition of "defining" then I'm not sure what is.
I used to drink a lot and get really loud and embarrassing at parties before I realized I had intense social anxiety. People didn't believe me because I seemed like a party animal, but I was really just manic and got drunk to cope
This man is SO COOL. The way he speaks is so powerful. He doesn’t definitively say something if he is unsure of it and he thoroughly explains everything in a way that everyone can understand. I hope that more people in mental health can be as educated as him
This guy is promoting ABA as a “treatment” for autism, which in the autistic community is seen as being abusive and causing trauma. Please do research on these things before just taking everything he says as fact. Just because someone has studied psychology doesn’t mean they’ll be correct about everything, and can even be discriminatory towards people with certain disorders or neurodivergencies.
"when am i gonna see a depiction of someone with mental illness that's not going to make me feel like im gonna turn into a serial killer?" THAT part. That's the shift we need to do with mental health in the film industry.
"it's a medication issue" really helps me personally, if i miss my meds and feel dangerously sad but i realize it's because of the medication, I feel better because I know it will pass. What sucks is when the sadness isn't a medication issue :(
I’ve personally found therapy/counseling helpful on sadness that isn’t “cured” by medicine. If you haven’t considered it or are currently in, then I recommend maybe just looking into it. :)
As someone who has dealt with PMDD levels of sadness, I hear you. Even if we feel it in the moment, intensely, just knowing "Ok, there's a physical reason for this and it'll eventually pass like clockwork" makes it bearable, even while finding things like coping. Sending hugs!
Therapy is always the most healthy choice if you feel like you have a mental illness like anxiety or your going through something really hard and need someone to help you. You just need to research a few sites and therapists to find out which one is qualified and which ones are faking (trust me, there are tons of awful therapists out there that can make your anxiety or illness worse). But if you ever feel like your having trouble with your life, maybe going through something crappy, a therapist is the most healthy option instead of suffering. Therapy doesint have to be scary as long as your careful, trust me, there really nice and there here to listen, so your don’t think your annoying them! :)
You just need the right therapist. I was lucky enough to get a good therapist, but unfortunately many other people in my life that I care for don't have access to actually *good* therapists.
"Mental illness is a part of who they are, it doesn't define them." It is so refreshing to hear that. Not everything with mental illness is crazy and non functional or on a ton of meds. Loved these breakdowns!
I absolutely love how passionate he is when he talks about how people correlate violence and mental health issues. My brother is schizophrenic, and while I understand why people associate that with dangerous behavior, it still saddens me greatly.
I have a brother who is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and he definitly was dangerous. He tried to kil my mum several times, attacked my dad , set fire to their car, attacked several women, trowed bricks through al my windows , etc. He is 57 years old now and the last 10 years he is much more calm and a lot less aggresive. But i have a friend who has 2 sisters with the same diagnosis who are not aggresive at all.
My mother has it, it's not easy growing up with a parent who other people consider a dangerous nutjob. My mother is the literal sweetest person in the entire universe.
I think the most important thing that Lars represents is the importance of community-based therapy. The doctor is bringing together a very broad web of care and support which is crucial for any social deficiency.
part of that might be because the mom has had a history of depression, but considering the theme of the movie i think sadness being the lead shows that she is deeply empathetic as well. sadness = understanding a person's pain enough to be there and help them get through it
He was so right about teenagers opening up more with no direct eyecontact. All the deep and meaningful conversations I have with my parents happen in the car or walking where were not making constant eye contact.
I wish there was a movie about bpd that portrayed the “less severe” side of things where the patient even doubts that their diagnosis is valid because their episodes are “not as bad” as those portrayed in Hollywood.
@@marlow4388 I promise it does!! The character’s mental illness doesn’t have to be the main plot. As in real life, there’s a lot more to someone than their illness! I’m a film student so you could be seeing that movie in 10 years 🙇🏽♀️
Yikes these TH-cam comments are enlightening lol. People hearing someone else say common sense and they come away thinking oooooo genius sooo profound. Nah lol
@@TonyDanza4Lyfe not completely sure what ur talking about tbh, but i disagree with him on the 'joker is overplaying the idea that mental illness and violence are linked' thing, being a violent, mental psychopath who just wants chaos and violence is literally his entire character
I never realized how they depicted how the adults were emotionally mature. Even though Anger was the dads captain and Sadness was the moms they all sat at the table as equals and worked together as a team instead of one conpletely taking over the controls like in the teenager.
That was for us. We realised she wasn’t his girlfriend. It was a delusion. She wasn’t following him around giving him advice. It’s called an unreliable narrator... He doesn’t leave the asylum and he isn’t the joker. Spoilers
Fun fact, girl interrupted was written originally based on the writers real life experiences with bpd.. the movie was an adaptation of the book and may be why it depicts bpd pretty accurately unlike some other Holly wood produced movies
If you've read the book she says at the end she doesn't think she had bpd and that normal issues that others don't understand are grouped in with mental illness (eg her not going to college is Not really an indication of lack of direction and mental illness). It is very interesting.
If we think of autism as a "sensory processing" disorder instead of a "developmental" disorder, it helps explain the need for routine and consistency. If I constantly felt like how I feel when I'm at an international airport during the holiday season, I'd lose my mind whenever one little thing was out of place too.
It is not a sensory processing disorder though, it is literally a developmental disorder ( neuro diverse). The sensory processing is part of the neuro diversity
Sensory processing is absolutely part of Autism. But that's not.. "what it is". That's kind of like saying.. let's not think of a car as a car. But, let's of of it as just the seat. Like yeah, absolutely all cars have seats. But if it's just a seat, it's not a car. Autism is a Neurodevelopmental disability. Part of it is SPD. But it's all the mix of things that makes it autism. And not just spd. Not a huge fan of them having used rainman to represent autism here. They chose of the one in a million type representations. *sigh* And, many autistic people are VERY empathetic. So empathetic that it can be painful. Which is why we try to avoid it sometimes. We shouldn't just be looking for empathy to diagnose autism. Especially in girls
Neurodevelopmental disorder makes sense. Our sensory perceptions are due to neural processing. Neurodivergent people have literally had their neurological structures built and grown differently. This leads to differences in sensory experiences, executive functioning, language and communication, etc. It is very common for many neurodivergent folks to have sensory processing differences whether it’s sound, receptive language, tactile. While there are a lot of overlapping behaviors, experienced, symptoms, it’s different for everyone.
I love his point made on the Joker movie with how violence and mental health should not be connected. My best friend and I watched the Joker (and loved it) but she kept telling me afterwards that society has this misconception of mental health illness being associated with being violent. Thank you Eric.
I think the misconception lies more on what defines mental illness and normal person to begin with. What exactly makes someone violent if it's not because they're ill in some way? What makes someone violent to a point that isn't what a normal person would do and why is that not mentally ill? When you think about it, it doesn't really help or even make sense.
@@xXJLNINJAXx (Quote): "What makes someone violent to a point that isn't what a normal person would do and why is that not mentally ill? " Mental illness isn't a choice. Being violent is a choice. That's the distinguishing factor. Mental illness is a pervasive behavioral or mental pattern that causes significant distress or impairment of personal functioning.
This pops up on my feed: "This could be interesting, but there's no way I could watch the full 41 minutes of it" 41 minutes and 21 seconds later: "Why is this video only 41 minutes long? I want more!" :D
THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this video. Having a wife with several of these disorders, it's so important to be reminded sometimes, what it must be like to be ill. And the way you led us gently to understanding that coping and medical treatment need to go hand in hand, that's so very very important to always remember.
for a cartoon, Bojack depicts quite accurately a lot of the state of mind of maladaptive behaviours common in people with varying degrees of mental health issues
I had a question though I've heard some mental health workers say that psychopaths dont actually exist and it is the wrong word for ANOTHER personality disorder. Is this true?
I really liked that this expert pointed out what a true psycho path is not a person with anger and rage those are normal emotions but someone who lacks empathy or feelings and can't deal with their emotions properly
While attending Med School, my Psychiatry professor always linked the topics we were seeing with some pop culture reference. By doing so he made sure we truly understood how people do act and also don't act while having any mental illness. This guy also does a terrific job on calling out all the depiction mistakes of mental illnesses
BoJack Horseman is literally my comfort show because of how well it portrays trauma, mental illness, and the journey to wellness. I turn to it on days where I just can't seem to find happiness in anything, and it's really helpful.
I’m not 100% sure if I fit into all these categories and tbh I don’t care, although when I am not doing the things I need to do to keep my body healthy I can get very depressed and anxious/unconfident avoid all social situations/interactions. To me this comes down to cause and effect and these symptoms are an individual umbrella effect that I’m sure is very similar and can vary slightly depending on the person. I really hope the comments and people I’ve seen that turn this darkness in life into a social fad or group to be amongst aren’t actually what they say or want to think they are because watching shows or eating things to “bandaid” problems are the exact thinking they led to your physical body crying out for help. Anyone hope I didn’t offend anyone just feel for the people that may actually want to get out of this funk of a spot after a few years it will start to feel “normal” and listening to your local pharmaceutical dealer can really make people think they are imbalanced and drugs is the correct way instead of going for a run everyday.
I don't think Joker was saying all mental illness people get violent. It's this man, who has been abused, pushed aside, ignored, and has just had enough and snapped. And we do know why, the movie literally shows us why.
@@hcf4kd1992 the majority don't, but some still do. Almost all serial killers have mental illnesses and some degree of abuse/trauma in their background. Joker going through what he did and snapping isn't unrealistic, its just uncommon. The issue is that there aren't many 'happy' movies about mental illness that show someone actually living with it successfully, because thats unfortunately just less of an interesting story.
Just to add my own little addition to what he said about routines being a comfort to people with autism: These routines can be so important because they help people on the spectrum to feel more in control of what is happening in a world that is hard to control and also allows them to have a better idea of what to expect which can help to ease anxiety as they can try to make plans for how to deal with things that may be required e.g. conversations, actions needed etc. Ps. Getting frustrated is natural but it doesn't help anyone. The autistic person is not doing it on purpose to annoy you.
Also, it’s highly important to note that the traits for ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) in the DSM-V were written in the context of how Autistic people (and, for awhile long time, young white boys who were studied the most) behave if they’re overwhelmed, over stimulated, and trying to deal with people who misunderstand different behavior and communication styles and navigating a world not designed for ASD people in mind…
It is okay to try therapy, theres nothing to be ashamed of. Your mental health is just as, if not MORE important than your physical health. Take care of yourself
there's no shame in going to therapy :) I've been going for a few months now, and it already started to change my life in a profound way. I couldn't recommend it enough.
Bojack horseman is so underrated. People downplay it because of being a cartoon but it's possibly the most accurate series about mental illness and reality....ironic
This guy is actually amazing. I wish more people addressed issues like he does. He is that rare breed that combines actual empathy and a real knack for psychology. Some people just go to school to make money.
Seriously thank you Dr. for specifying that it “used to be called Aspergers” because ppl don’t realize how important that is and why we don’t call it that anymore
I *have* it and I sometimes call it that as shorthand, because people understand it more easily. I don't mind the term, even though I know it's no longer a technical one.
@@neighandwhinnymchorse2100 my cousin has been diagnosed that at 5 and it explains a lot. I think it was cool to have a classification for people with autistic traits but without the heaviness of the fonctionning impairment, but I understand what they're trying to do with having it as a broad spectrum too.
I mostly agree with the borderline diagnosis, but there's so much that was left out, I think sometimes how intensely someone feels is insane ...I get so happy I have to take anxiety meds to calm down, and that's something that only a few understand.
I have this too! Sometimes I’ll be excited about something and get too amped up. It turns into anxiety to the point I don’t even want to do the thing anymore.
also we dont fake anything for attention some people might, but if you see me seriously struggling with anxiety and always talking about how i want to unalive myself, theres probably something more serious going on than "wanting attention"
I literally cried my eyes out to my mom and asked her to get me therapy and she just told me depression doesn’t exist at all and then went on to make fun of me to my dad like...wtf 😃
I should say this to my “grandma” but her existence annoys me a lot, sorry but it’s true she’s the outcast of the family, and I literally can’t forget when she said I’m not allowed to be depressed because I’m young, she’s old, I have friends, her friends are decreasing, like wtf? I just literally had a reliving talk with my parents at 1 AM and you’re gonna ruin that for me cause you want attention? I mean you could just talk things out with us and not be aggressive about it, like seriously, it’s annoying, you’re making us all depressed.

I'm 36 and have had it since I can remember. Also anxiety and c-ptsd. I think we're drawn to these kinds of videos and it's refreshing to see other people with mental health issues in the comments. Makes you feel less alone in the battle ❤
The Joker was really disturbing to me, but not for the reasons I thought it would be. It was incredibly sad that any happy moments or memories that he had were delusions. You could just see his character disintegrating.
there’s quite a famous man in japan who has legally married a fictional character who helped him cope with the trauma of being treated poorly by people all his life.he gets so much attention for the eccentricity of it but i truly hope he can be helped out of that mindset that other humans are so untrustworthy and only someone fictional could love him. truthfully not too long ago it became extremely difficult for me to trust happiness but i guess i haven’t given up completely even if i’m extremely lonely.
I knew a person with bipolar disorder who went in to the deep depression state, and she just... Isolated her self to the point of not letting anybody in to her house for months. And if you tried to reach out, she wouldn't let anyone help her, not ever for food. In consequence, she died (we never found out the cause of her death) and found her several days after. It was very sad, bacause when she was kind of "OK", she was very sweet and caring of the people she loved.
@@suktadas9737 In my experience, if someone really doesn’t want anyone to help them, they won’t even let those they care about in. They will shut everyone out just so they don’t have to have others worry about them. Or so they think nobody will worry about them.
The Joker actually did deal with psychotic issues, the scenes where he’s with the “love of his life” were just fragments of his imagination. In the end it was revealed to the audience that it was all just in his head.
I think this guy, and many people in the comments, mistook the Joker having a mental illness, with his mental illness being the root of everything evil he does.
Watched the movie a while ago but wasn't his relationship with the mother and son who lived across the hall a delusion too? I think there was a scene where he confronted her and she seemed like she only knew him as the guy next door and nothing else. The scene might have played differently idk but I could have sworn that relationship was part of a delusion too.
@@Sarablueunicorn the love affair was never real. In one scene near the last half of the movie, Arthur enters his supposed fiancé's apartment, only for her to be shocked about him intruding.
on the topic of autism, a lot of autistic kids and even adults are often abused by parents or caretakers because what seems like not a big deal to them, is a big deal to the autistic person, and that can lead to emotional needs being neglected
@@kajielin4354 This is the comment I came here for. I wish more medical professionals would really look into the neuro-affirming approach and listen to Autistic Adults...
Gosh. This reminds me of when I was literally 10 and my mum told me that I was too sensitive and that I'll never make it in the world, instead of actually trying to help me become better. Seriously, knowing others went through the same thing makes me feel a bit comforted, but also a bit sad that they all dealt my pain, if not worse.
I have ocd and its extremely inconvenient to deal with the overpowering anxiety that something bad will happen if you don't do the thing your brain is telling you to do, the mental exhaustion if you mess up and have to start over... it sucks

12:28 I am a member of the autistic community. Specifically, I have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. Something people should know is that ABA is HIGHLY controversial within the autistic community. Historically, ABA involved electric shocks and other negative stimuli to force autistic people to stop performing behaviors considered to be abnormal. Many autistic activists argue that ABA is very psychologically harmful to autistic people. It has been compared to conversion therapy and "torturing the autism" out of someone. Of course, if an autistic person is harming themselves or others, they should be helped to stop that. But not all atypical behaviors that Autistic people do is wrong. Stimming is perfectly fine. We shouldn't be focusing on making autistic people "normal". We should focus on improving their quality of life and accommodating their disability. Harming a blind person won't make them see, harming a deaf person won't make them hear and harming autistic people won't "cure" their autism.
ABA isn’t about making people “normal”. It’s about helping autistic people learn life skills. An ABA therapist isn’t going to make a client stop stimming, they’re going to teach them to navigate social situations. Stop trying to scare people out of helping their kids live full lives.

One of my friends recently pointed out to me that in Inside Out, Sadness is in charge of all of the emotions in the mom’s head while Anger is in charge of the dad. I thought that was really interesting.
I’m 35 and was diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum a couple of years ago after always knowing something was wrong. I’ve been really struggling to come to terms with it so hearing it put logically without any judgement was what I needed
I know the feel. Been there. What really helped me come to terms with it was finding out how invisible and common autism can be. As I met several people who had it as well, but you'd never guess it. That, and how common mental health issues are in general. My mom's saying of "Every house has it's cross" (every family has their own struggles) really applies. You'd be amazed how many people are in the same boat, but you'll only ever hear of it once the topic comes up in a way that makes them feel safe to share their stories.
I hope one day i will be diagnosted well and know what's exactelly my illeness i really feel something wrong with me but not really significant in my case and after watching this video i feel like i have many illness combined a little influence of autistic syndrome ,pdp,and a major depression i try to figure out what's the main illness that causes the others i hope someday i will find the answer.
@@McSnezzly what is your issue with person first language? A lot of people on the spectrum use it to describe themselves and dislike being seen for their disorder first .
I ran across your channel and I'm so fascinated by the movie references to mental health diagnosis, I myself was diagnosed bipolar depression and adhd at 25, I had so many emotional issues that I didn't understand why I was so different and seemingly difficult to deal with until I seen a psychiatrist.
"Just leave me alone" isn't synonymous with "I hate you" it can also mean "I'm overwhelmed" or "I don't want to talk about this right now" or even just "I don't know how to answer that, please stop asking" Wish ppl thought of this >w
If you ask people to leave you alone and they dont, they normally are thinking more about themselves than you and you, in that same vein, who are expecting them to understand your inner thoughts without being specific about your needs, are thinking more about yourself than them. Communication goes both ways.
@@nunpho i said that first if you read. The person said it doesnt mean "i hate you" They may follow your request out of respect but that doesnt mean they will know why you requested it and that you dont hate them. That needs to be said.
i gotta be honest ive seen alot of these break down videos and this expert is easily one of the best, explains things so well and really does break things down.
It’s hard to kind of piece together but he was having a delusion of being with the girl in his apartment building, not so much hallucinating. Being that it is a movie and that there is some visual components that if not unaddressed can be confusing (think a beautiful mind breakdown). We see something play out that happened in the movie, but this doesn’t mean he saw these hallucinations, we just know that he believed he was in a relationship when he actually wasn’t.
Haven't seen the movie, but, if the girl didn't exist then yes, it would be a hallucination and could possibly be a sign of psychosis. If the girl did exist and the part in his head was their relationship, then that would be a delusion. Hallucinations involve the perception of stimulus that don't actually exist (in simple terms) whereas delusions are more so a twisted perception of reality. Neither of which are exclusively indicative of psychosis, but are possible symptoms of it.
so social anxiety disorder has caused me to not talk to anyone besides the people i live with for the past three years. ive lost all my friends. i rely on substances to keep me grounded. it is not fun. but having this dude talk about it with so much understanding was very comforting.
@@horsegirlb7120 therapy is expensive here too, and i can barely keep up with bills as it is. but as soon as im able, im hoping to find a therapist that would give me that same feeling of understanding, yeah
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my TH-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
So your assessment of people on the autism spectrum is very much based on male patients. I'm a female on the spectrum and no one can tell that I have autism because women tend to mask their social anxieties and mimic social behaviors more efficiently. I wish there'd be more awareness around this as many women are diagnosed at a late age (as was I) and fly under the radar, getting diagnosed with anxiety or depression way before anyone realizes that beneath the supposed social mask lies incredible effort to read and mimic others in social situations. Most people think I make eye contact for example, but I usually am looking between the eyes or at the mouth. People think I'm talkative but I rehearse scripts in my head days before meetings so I know what to say and how to respond. So just because someone seems to not be autistic doesn't mean they aren't. So many of us become depressed and suicide rates are high due to not being helped in time. Edit: wow I've never had so many likes. Thank you. Just a few notes: 1. Didn't mean to step on anyone's's toes with regard to their form of autism and relating to his description. I understand it's a spectrum. 2. Didn't mean to make this about gender per say, perhaps "high functioning" would've been a better term to use v.s. women 3. I get that he didn't have the time. I do want to bring awareness to this phenomenon though. Lots of us end our lives because of these issues never being recognized so spreading awareness is the least I feel I can do. Wasn't meant to be criticism on him I found his explanations interesting and insightful. 4. I'm still learning what ASD means too. I get that the masking is an issue for others as well. Not blaming anyone for not seeing through it. Can hardly blame anyone if even I had no idea.
I saw a girl on tik tok who explained having autism as a female, and the sad part is you're right they only studied males when they were making breakthroughs. Mental health in general didn't get the notice it deserves until recently so I'm only hoping a wider range of studies can be performed, statistics alone of people who don't get the help they need really needs to decline. Anyways just remember that you're not alone, there will always be somebody who cares. May you give yourself the life you want and always keep the positives in mind, take care and stay safe
I was searching the comment section for this necessary explanation. Thanks. But it's not only women's problem tho. There are also many men out there who misdiagnosed because of the exact same reasons.
That's exactly right! I never got diagnosed until I was 31 after having a mental breakdown. It's because of how bad everything was while still trying to mask, keep working and dealing with stress and other mental health problems (anxiety and depression). There are a lot of women 30+ getting a late diagnosis because all the research was male based. It wasn't picked up on in schools for us because "girls don't have autism" (when really we just express/cope with things differently). The weird thing is that I was mostly non verbal as a kid - 'selective' mutism and it still wasn't picked up. Thankfully things are changing.

Bojack Horseman is a mental health masterpiece that dives within the human brain so well it required animals to release tension
yeah definitely bc if it was human it will be really bothersome and harder to watch
yeah exactly, imagine how much more depressing and saddening it would be for some people to watch

Fact.
@Sam Glueck no it was fine just the party anxiety scene
The association with violence is exactly what gives mental health its stigma.
Look at it this way. The reason for memtal health resulting im violence is a.stigma is because moat of the time, people view things in a wromg/negative way. Why can we view.things in a positive way, instead of always being negative?
And that it is a "weakness"
@@nicholascrow8133 yup definitely
Exactly. While it can definitely lead to violence, that's often not the case.
this exactly
Social anxiety is so bad because it's self fulfilling. You're so worried, you become the person you're afraid of being
Yeah😞
Stay strong my friend, I know the feeling. But the fact of being worried is a good sign that you will not.
This is a very true way to say that. I couldn’t had said it better myself! I send my love to you
And usually there is a lot of people to make things worse and adding fuel to the fire
I just feel like everyone's all super awkward towards each other at first, once you get to know the person you'll eventually get comfortable around them, trust me I still feel hella awkward towards my best friend idk I just feel like he feels forced to hang out with me because I don't talk with anyone, we've been through elementary-highschool, but its just something that I try to keep out of my brain loop I guess

I feel like Joker definitely has some symptoms of psychosis-- just not in this scene. But throughout the movie, he has these relationship building scenes with his neighbor, where he believes he's spending time with her. But at the end of the movie we see those scenes again, and see that she was never there with him.

The film had a funny way of over exagerating his toughts as mental ilness.If he had a normal paying job in a normal functioning city, where criminals didnt parede around, Wane enterprize.HE would not have any actuall problem in life.
He's so gentle and kind in his words but also himself and professional at the same time. I bet he does a really good job treating people.
Yeah that's why he's a psychiatrist
Being a psychiatrist requires an individual to have a sense of unconditional positive regard for their client, which is why he sounds so calm
On his linked in it says he was named one of the bay areas best doctors in San Francisco.
@@JazzSingh many psychiatrists don't have any positive regard. They are in it for money quite often and don't care about their patients. Also, you don't have to have completely calm demeanor to present unconditional positive regard.

Girl Interrupted (both the movie and book) was so important to me when I got diagnosed with BPD. It showed me that, no matter how bad I felt at the time, I had a chance to live a normal life again.
That makes me happy to know 😁
As someone diagnosed with dysthymic disorder (long-term low mood….like Eeyore) I felt that movie on such a deep level. To this day, one of my favorite movies! 🥰
🤤
I've only seen the film and once when I was sent to a clinic for reasons no one really remembers (I was misdiagnosed with BPD, I struggle with depression, PTSD, GAD and panic attacks), all I could think about was that film and I was terrified. Fortunately I was able to convince my family to get me my own room. At first I avoided everyone until I couldn't anymore. Then it was like being with co workers.

No one is talking about how the acronym for Social Anxiety Disorder is literally SAD
and Seasonal Affective Disorder
@@joclark4619 which is funny cause this guy looks like Neil Cicierega, who wrote a song called SAD about his Seasonal Affective Disorder
Reading this in my psychology freshman year did make me chuckle a bit...
SAD(Social Anxiety Disorder), the big SAD
separation anxiety disorder.
I remember someone commented on Inside out that each parents central emotion might show what kind of thing they're dealing with. like with the dad for example anger rules and he might have anger issues or with the mom sadness rules which might show that she's depressed in a way
Led me to think
Not necessarily. The whole point of the movie is to show that having negative emotions is OK. These may just be their primary responses. It just the way that they deal with things.
It doesn't necessarily mean that they have a neurochemical imbalance like in the issues that you mention.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Year late but I remember seeing a theory that the parents central emotion is a deeper symbol for a matured emotion like protective being anger for the dad and compassion as sadness for the mom, I think this would make sense as emotions are subjective but I don’t get the mom one
It's the driver's seat.
Riley is "piloted" by joy; she pursues joy when she can and values joy as her objective. Showing joy is what makes her parents share that joy.
Her mom is run by sadness, which here means empathy. She can see sadness, struggle, in others first and acts on it, trying to help.
Their dad runs on anger, though that may be an unexplored, evolved version, such as assertiveness, protectiveness, or riotousness.
The point is, the middle seat is the *driver* seat. The one who's "in charge".
"For many people, mental illness is a part of who they are. It doesn't define them." This is a very simple statement yet holds so much power.
Mental illness is a term invented to label individual traits of people, who are not functioning the way the system wants them to.
person-first perspective let's gooo
And the fact that you so vaguely agree with his vague statement shows that you don't hold much water in your knowledge of mental illness, as he doesn't. People who are mentally ill do understand that there's something wrong with them, and it has a huge impact on how they see themselves and the world in general. If that's not the definition of "defining" then I'm not sure what is.
TumblR was full of 'em
For some people, it does define them and they get completely lost.

This guy is promoting ABA as a “treatment” for autism, which in the autistic community is seen as being abusive and causing trauma. Please do research on these things before just taking everything he says as fact. Just because someone has studied psychology doesn’t mean they’ll be correct about everything, and can even be discriminatory towards people with certain disorders or neurodivergencies.
"when am i gonna see a depiction of someone with mental illness that's not going to make me feel like im gonna turn into a serial killer?" THAT part. That's the shift we need to do with mental health in the film industry.

"it's a medication issue" really helps me personally, if i miss my meds and feel dangerously sad but i realize it's because of the medication, I feel better because I know it will pass. What sucks is when the sadness isn't a medication issue :(
I’ve personally found therapy/counseling helpful on sadness that isn’t “cured” by medicine. If you haven’t considered it or are currently in, then I recommend maybe just looking into it. :)
yh sometimes it reminds u that ur not the problem
As someone who has dealt with PMDD levels of sadness, I hear you. Even if we feel it in the moment, intensely, just knowing "Ok, there's a physical reason for this and it'll eventually pass like clockwork" makes it bearable, even while finding things like coping.
Sending hugs!
I have told myself that too.
I'm scared of therapy, but this guy seems entirely comfortable to talk with
Therapy is always the most healthy choice if you feel like you have a mental illness like anxiety or your going through something really hard and need someone to help you. You just need to research a few sites and therapists to find out which one is qualified and which ones are faking (trust me, there are tons of awful therapists out there that can make your anxiety or illness worse). But if you ever feel like your having trouble with your life, maybe going through something crappy, a therapist is the most healthy option instead of suffering. Therapy doesint have to be scary as long as your careful, trust me, there really nice and there here to listen, so your don’t think your annoying them! :)
You just need the right therapist. I was lucky enough to get a good therapist, but unfortunately many other people in my life that I care for don't have access to actually *good* therapists.

@@peoplelegend8476 It really (can't understate this) depends on which country or region you live. That alone makes a huge difference.
"Mental illness is a part of who they are, it doesn't define them." It is so refreshing to hear that. Not everything with mental illness is crazy and non functional or on a ton of meds. Loved these breakdowns!
Erm, The Joker does not correctly illustrate true mental illness...
But some of us are... and that’s okay
whats wrong with being non functional????
edit: thats literally what my disorder causes those with it to be
Accept most people seem to choose to define themselves according to their mental disorders
There's one flaw to that statement
Pretty sure a psychopath is both who they are and it defines who they are
I absolutely love how passionate he is when he talks about how people correlate violence and mental health issues. My brother is schizophrenic, and while I understand why people associate that with dangerous behavior, it still saddens me greatly.
I guess it is because you cannot evaluate a person who shows unusual behaviour. It would trigger your fear to get hurt.
I have a brother who is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and he definitly was dangerous. He tried to kil my mum several times, attacked my dad , set fire to their car, attacked several women, trowed bricks through al my windows , etc.
He is 57 years old now and the last 10 years he is much more calm and a lot less aggresive. But i have a friend who has 2 sisters with the same diagnosis who are not aggresive at all.
My mother has it, it's not easy growing up with a parent who other people consider a dangerous nutjob. My mother is the literal sweetest person in the entire universe.
That's the hard thing about mental illness is that its different in every person.
@@gazepskotzs4 He was paranoid. That's why it's known as paranoid schizophrenia.
I think the most important thing that Lars represents is the importance of community-based therapy. The doctor is bringing together a very broad web of care and support which is crucial for any social deficiency.

hard to take u seriously with that pfp
Don't know about the other disorders but what he talked about mine, Bipolar disorder, is very accurate. It's not all but it is a good depiction.
And some of those lessons, especially about autistic people, are wrong. And I know as I am autistic.
@@JeshuaSquirrel he did say that the autistic spectrum is quite diverse.
One thing that always bummed me out about the movie inside out is that sadness is the one leading in the mother's head :
Yep, but was perfect to explain some heavy family history to my kids.
Anger leads in the father's head so I think the "putting the foot down" scene being quick was his anger issues showing a bit
بس دراد
part of that might be because the mom has had a history of depression, but considering the theme of the movie i think sadness being the lead shows that she is deeply empathetic as well. sadness = understanding a person's pain enough to be there and help them get through it
Something is telling me the psychiatrist works out. 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
He was so right about teenagers opening up more with no direct eyecontact. All the deep and meaningful conversations I have with my parents happen in the car or walking where were not making constant eye contact.
So true, me too
Yeah me too

I could connect with my brother when we were driving and that was something I never expected to happen before! Totally agree with you here.

I wish there was a movie about bpd that portrayed the “less severe” side of things where the patient even doubts that their diagnosis is valid because their episodes are “not as bad” as those portrayed in Hollywood.
I get the sentiment but that... really doesn't sound like it has a lot of plot potential
I agree! I think people always go to the extreme because it sells but I think it'd be comforting for people who can relate.
@@marlow4388 I promise it does!! The character’s mental illness doesn’t have to be the main plot. As in real life, there’s a lot more to someone than their illness! I’m a film student so you could be seeing that movie in 10 years 🙇🏽♀️

@@aresuwu6793 YES!!! I totally agree. There’s no representation whatsoever of moderate schizophrenia in films that I know of.

I just think he misunderstood the movie
Yikes these TH-cam comments are enlightening lol. People hearing someone else say common sense and they come away thinking oooooo genius sooo profound. Nah lol
@@TonyDanza4Lyfe Fun Fact: Just because you know something doesn’t mean others do
@@TonyDanza4Lyfe not completely sure what ur talking about tbh, but i disagree with him on the 'joker is overplaying the idea that mental illness and violence are linked' thing, being a violent, mental psychopath who just wants chaos and violence is literally his entire character
I never realized how they depicted how the adults were emotionally mature. Even though Anger was the dads captain and Sadness was the moms they all sat at the table as equals and worked together as a team instead of one conpletely taking over the controls like in the teenager.
The Joker does see things tho, he imagined an entire romance that didn’t exist.
I was about to say the same thing he must not of seen the whole movie because it very clearly showed a bunch of hallucinations
I think his point was that Arthur wasn’t having a psychotic delusion when he was on the Murray show. Not that he doesn’t ever have them.
he also hallucinated doing that great stand up when in fact he couldn't get a single sentence out of his mouth.
That was for us. We realised she wasn’t his girlfriend. It was a delusion. She wasn’t following him around giving him advice.
It’s called an unreliable narrator...
He doesn’t leave the asylum and he isn’t the joker.
Spoilers
I always thought he imagined it not that he hallucinated it
Fun fact, girl interrupted was written originally based on the writers real life experiences with bpd.. the movie was an adaptation of the book and may be why it depicts bpd pretty accurately unlike some other Holly wood produced movies
favorite thing about girl interrupted is that i've been in the same institution the writer was and boy has it not gotten any better!
Oh I didn’t know that! I have bpd and would be interesting to watch this movie!
@@Thegreenpig22 i definitely recommend it really opens your perspective on bpd
Yeah I read the book first. It's great
If you've read the book she says at the end she doesn't think she had bpd and that normal issues that others don't understand are grouped in with mental illness (eg her not going to college is Not really an indication of lack of direction and mental illness). It is very interesting.

If we think of autism as a "sensory processing" disorder instead of a "developmental" disorder, it helps explain the need for routine and consistency. If I constantly felt like how I feel when I'm at an international airport during the holiday season, I'd lose my mind whenever one little thing was out of place too.
It is not a sensory processing disorder though, it is literally a developmental disorder ( neuro diverse). The sensory processing is part of the neuro diversity
@@daisybelle1025 Diversity and developmental disorder are not synonyms, wdym.
Sensory processing is absolutely part of Autism. But that's not.. "what it is". That's kind of like saying.. let's not think of a car as a car. But, let's of of it as just the seat. Like yeah, absolutely all cars have seats. But if it's just a seat, it's not a car.
Autism is a Neurodevelopmental disability. Part of it is SPD. But it's all the mix of things that makes it autism. And not just spd.
Not a huge fan of them having used rainman to represent autism here. They chose of the one in a million type representations. *sigh*
And, many autistic people are VERY empathetic. So empathetic that it can be painful. Which is why we try to avoid it sometimes. We shouldn't just be looking for empathy to diagnose autism. Especially in girls
Neurodevelopmental disorder makes sense. Our sensory perceptions are due to neural processing. Neurodivergent people have literally had their neurological structures built and grown differently. This leads to differences in sensory experiences, executive functioning, language and communication, etc. It is very common for many neurodivergent folks to have sensory processing differences whether it’s sound, receptive language, tactile. While there are a lot of overlapping behaviors, experienced, symptoms, it’s different for everyone.
Yeah I found this guy’s take on autism really ableist and outdated, ngl :(
Hurtful as an autistic person myself
I love his point made on the Joker movie with how violence and mental health should not be connected. My best friend and I watched the Joker (and loved it) but she kept telling me afterwards that society has this misconception of mental health illness being associated with being violent. Thank you Eric.
Studies show that mentally ill people aren't any more violent than the average person but has a higher chance of being the victim of a crime.
I think the misconception lies more on what defines mental illness and normal person to begin with. What exactly makes someone violent if it's not because they're ill in some way? What makes someone violent to a point that isn't what a normal person would do and why is that not mentally ill?
When you think about it, it doesn't really help or even make sense.
@@xXJLNINJAXx (Quote): "What makes someone violent to a point that isn't what a normal person would do and why is that not mentally ill? "
Mental illness isn't a choice. Being violent is a choice. That's the distinguishing factor. Mental illness is a pervasive behavioral or mental pattern that causes significant distress or impairment of personal functioning.

BoJack Horseman is literally my comfort show because of how well it portrays trauma, mental illness, and the journey to wellness. I turn to it on days where I just can't seem to find happiness in anything, and it's really helpful.

I’m dealing with chronic depression. I’ll give it a watch.
i wholeheartedly suggest everyone watch BH, especially if they have any sort of mental illness
I’m not 100% sure if I fit into all these categories and tbh I don’t care, although when I am not doing the things I need to do to keep my body healthy I can get very depressed and anxious/unconfident avoid all social situations/interactions. To me this comes down to cause and effect and these symptoms are an individual umbrella effect that I’m sure is very similar and can vary slightly depending on the person. I really hope the comments and people I’ve seen that turn this darkness in life into a social fad or group to be amongst aren’t actually what they say or want to think they are because watching shows or eating things to “bandaid” problems are the exact thinking they led to your physical body crying out for help. Anyone hope I didn’t offend anyone just feel for the people that may actually want to get out of this funk of a spot after a few years it will start to feel “normal” and listening to your local pharmaceutical dealer can really make people think they are imbalanced and drugs is the correct way instead of going for a run everyday.
I will give it a try too, thanks.
I don't think Joker was saying all mental illness people get violent. It's this man, who has been abused, pushed aside, ignored, and has just had enough and snapped. And we do know why, the movie literally shows us why.
Reminds me of Elephant’s Memory (Criminal Minds). That episode nails it on the head really
I think he was saying that It's the only type that Hollywood makes movies about, and therefore, people get the impression that it's the norm.
But most mentally and chronically physically ill people have that experience... and don't snap. That's why the problem with the Joker thesis
Say youre a reddit user without saying you’re a reddit user
@@hcf4kd1992 the majority don't, but some still do. Almost all serial killers have mental illnesses and some degree of abuse/trauma in their background. Joker going through what he did and snapping isn't unrealistic, its just uncommon. The issue is that there aren't many 'happy' movies about mental illness that show someone actually living with it successfully, because thats unfortunately just less of an interesting story.

Smooth and sus my guy

Getting young Hannibal vibes
So shallow
Just to add my own little addition to what he said about routines being a comfort to people with autism: These routines can be so important because they help people on the spectrum to feel more in control of what is happening in a world that is hard to control and also allows them to have a better idea of what to expect which can help to ease anxiety as they can try to make plans for how to deal with things that may be required e.g. conversations, actions needed etc.
Ps. Getting frustrated is natural but it doesn't help anyone. The autistic person is not doing it on purpose to annoy you.
Also, it’s highly important to note that the traits for ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) in the DSM-V were written in the context of how Autistic people (and, for awhile long time, young white boys who were studied the most) behave if they’re overwhelmed, over stimulated, and trying to deal with people who misunderstand different behavior and communication styles and navigating a world not designed for ASD people in mind…

Yes. He has knowledge and concern.
do remember that empathy=/=sympathy and people with low or no empathy can still be sympathetic and kind human beings

I mostly agree with the borderline diagnosis, but there's so much that was left out, I think sometimes how intensely someone feels is insane ...I get so happy I have to take anxiety meds to calm down, and that's something that only a few understand.
I have this too! Sometimes I’ll be excited about something and get too amped up. It turns into anxiety to the point I don’t even want to do the thing anymore.

What should parents understand is that teenagers are not “too young for depression” like wtf that doesnt make any sense.

some people might, but if you see me seriously struggling with anxiety and always talking about how i want to unalive myself, theres probably something more serious going on than "wanting attention"
@@mossie_witch8220 agreed. even those who ‘fake it for attention’ also have issues that make them feel the need to do stuff like that for attention

I just literally had a reliving talk with my parents at 1 AM and you’re gonna ruin that for me cause you want attention? I mean you could just talk things out with us and not be aggressive about it, like seriously, it’s annoying, you’re making us all depressed.

Do you got severe depression?

@@HireMichaelEverson I cant tell if you hate the show or like it lol
there’s quite a famous man in japan who has legally married a fictional character who helped him cope with the trauma of being treated poorly by people all his life.he gets so much attention for the eccentricity of it but i truly hope he can be helped out of that mindset that other humans are so untrustworthy and only someone fictional could love him. truthfully not too long ago it became extremely difficult for me to trust happiness but i guess i haven’t given up completely even if i’m extremely lonely.
I knew a person with bipolar disorder who went in to the deep depression state, and she just... Isolated her self to the point of not letting anybody in to her house for months. And if you tried to reach out, she wouldn't let anyone help her, not ever for food. In consequence, she died (we never found out the cause of her death) and found her several days after. It was very sad, bacause when she was kind of "OK", she was very sweet and caring of the people she loved.
Scary. I have bipolar disorder and agoraphobia. I don't have any friends and I never leave my house.
I'm really sorry for your loss. Seeking help helps a lot in everyway. I really hope things get better for you and the ones affected
@@suktadas9737 In my experience, if someone really doesn’t want anyone to help them, they won’t even let those they care about in. They will shut everyone out just so they don’t have to have others worry about them. Or so they think nobody will worry about them.
I knew someone like this and she is still alive.
@@JessicabelliciMa1 Good to hear.
The Joker actually did deal with psychotic issues, the scenes where he’s with the “love of his life” were just fragments of his imagination. In the end it was revealed to the audience that it was all just in his head.
I think this guy, and many people in the comments, mistook the Joker having a mental illness, with his mental illness being the root of everything evil he does.
@@gabrielmeth4844 Well did he actually believe in that fantasy or it was just his platonic love affair.
Watched the movie a while ago but wasn't his relationship with the mother and son who lived across the hall a delusion too? I think there was a scene where he confronted her and she seemed like she only knew him as the guy next door and nothing else. The scene might have played differently idk but I could have sworn that relationship was part of a delusion too.
@@Sarablueunicorn the love affair was never real. In one scene near the last half of the movie, Arthur enters his supposed fiancé's apartment, only for her to be shocked about him intruding.
@@KashNoK Thanks, I've never watched the movie
on the topic of autism, a lot of autistic kids and even adults are often abused by parents or caretakers because what seems like not a big deal to them, is a big deal to the autistic person, and that can lead to emotional needs being neglected
There are also a lot of issues especially within ABA, it's concerning that this is what he mentioned as THE thing to go to
@@kajielin4354 This is the comment I came here for. I wish more medical professionals would really look into the neuro-affirming approach and listen to Autistic Adults...

Gosh. This reminds me of when I was literally 10 and my mum told me that I was too sensitive and that I'll never make it in the world, instead of actually trying to help me become better.

12:28 I am a member of the autistic community. Specifically, I have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. Something people should know is that ABA is HIGHLY controversial within the autistic community. Historically, ABA involved electric shocks and other negative stimuli to force autistic people to stop performing behaviors considered to be abnormal. Many autistic activists argue that ABA is very psychologically harmful to autistic people. It has been compared to conversion therapy and "torturing the autism" out of someone. Of course, if an autistic person is harming themselves or others, they should be helped to stop that. But not all atypical behaviors that Autistic people do is wrong. Stimming is perfectly fine. We shouldn't be focusing on making autistic people "normal". We should focus on improving their quality of life and accommodating their disability. Harming a blind person won't make them see, harming a deaf person won't make them hear and harming autistic people won't "cure" their autism.
ABA isn’t about making people “normal”. It’s about helping autistic people learn life skills. An ABA therapist isn’t going to make a client stop stimming, they’re going to teach them to navigate social situations. Stop trying to scare people out of helping their kids live full lives.

One of my friends recently pointed out to me that in Inside Out, Sadness is in charge of all of the emotions in the mom’s head while Anger is in charge of the dad. I thought that was really interesting.
I believe you're talking about the Disney movie Inside Out... which is also my friend.
I’m 35 and was diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum a couple of years ago after always knowing something was wrong. I’ve been really struggling to come to terms with it so hearing it put logically without any judgement was what I needed
I know the feel. Been there. What really helped me come to terms with it was finding out how invisible and common autism can be. As I met several people who had it as well, but you'd never guess it. That, and how common mental health issues are in general. My mom's saying of "Every house has it's cross" (every family has their own struggles) really applies. You'd be amazed how many people are in the same boat, but you'll only ever hear of it once the topic comes up in a way that makes them feel safe to share their stories.

I don’t get why they call it “spectrum” now, like it was some kind of prism of colors.
@@stephenpowstinger733 because that’s pretty much exactly what it is

I’m a mental health provider and I’ve seen a lot of these videos- this doctor is legit and spot on.
I do hope you don’t use person first language or ABA for autistic people
@@McSnezzly You must of had a bad Experience with ABA there are several different types and not at all abusive.

I ran across your channel and I'm so fascinated by the movie references to mental health diagnosis, I myself was diagnosed bipolar depression and adhd at 25, I had so many emotional issues that I didn't understand why I was so different and seemingly difficult to deal with until I seen a psychiatrist.
"Just leave me alone" isn't synonymous with "I hate you" it can also mean "I'm overwhelmed" or "I don't want to talk about this right now" or even just "I don't know how to answer that, please stop asking"
Wish ppl thought of this >w
Thisssss
LOUDER
If you ask people to leave you alone and they dont, they normally are thinking more about themselves than you and you, in that same vein, who are expecting them to understand your inner thoughts without being specific about your needs, are thinking more about yourself than them. Communication goes both ways.
@@danan9061 they don't need to know your inner thoughts to follow your request

Wasn’t the Joker hallucinating that girl next door as his girlfriend therefore, he does have psychosis?
Hallucinations are not necessarily tied to psychosis
@@Mrmonkey1488 Hallucinations are usually tied to deep depression, insomnia, or Schizophrenia.
It’s hard to kind of piece together but he was having a delusion of being with the girl in his apartment building, not so much hallucinating. Being that it is a movie and that there is some visual components that if not unaddressed can be confusing (think a beautiful mind breakdown). We see something play out that happened in the movie, but this doesn’t mean he saw these hallucinations, we just know that he believed he was in a relationship when he actually wasn’t.
This guy doesn't exactly know joker.
He speaks of genetics, but Arthur is adopted.
Haven't seen the movie, but, if the girl didn't exist then yes, it would be a hallucination and could possibly be a sign of psychosis. If the girl did exist and the part in his head was their relationship, then that would be a delusion. Hallucinations involve the perception of stimulus that don't actually exist (in simple terms) whereas delusions are more so a twisted perception of reality. Neither of which are exclusively indicative of psychosis, but are possible symptoms of it.
so social anxiety disorder has caused me to not talk to anyone besides the people i live with for the past three years. ive lost all my friends. i rely on substances to keep me grounded. it is not fun. but having this dude talk about it with so much understanding was very comforting.

So your assessment of people on the autism spectrum is very much based on male patients. I'm a female on the spectrum and no one can tell that I have autism because women tend to mask their social anxieties and mimic social behaviors more efficiently. I wish there'd be more awareness around this as many women are diagnosed at a late age (as was I) and fly under the radar, getting diagnosed with anxiety or depression way before anyone realizes that beneath the supposed social mask lies incredible effort to read and mimic others in social situations.
Most people think I make eye contact for example, but I usually am looking between the eyes or at the mouth.
People think I'm talkative but I rehearse scripts in my head days before meetings so I know what to say and how to respond.
So just because someone seems to not be autistic doesn't mean they aren't. So many of us become depressed and suicide rates are high due to not being helped in time.
Edit: wow I've never had so many likes. Thank you. Just a few notes:
1. Didn't mean to step on anyone's's toes with regard to their form of autism and relating to his description. I understand it's a spectrum.
2. Didn't mean to make this about gender per say, perhaps "high functioning" would've been a better term to use v.s. women
3. I get that he didn't have the time. I do want to bring awareness to this phenomenon though. Lots of us end our lives because of these issues never being recognized so spreading awareness is the least I feel I can do. Wasn't meant to be criticism on him I found his explanations interesting and insightful.
4. I'm still learning what ASD means too. I get that the masking is an issue for others as well. Not blaming anyone for not seeing through it. Can hardly blame anyone if even I had no idea.
I saw a girl on tik tok who explained having autism as a female, and the sad part is you're right they only studied males when they were making breakthroughs. Mental health in general didn't get the notice it deserves until recently so I'm only hoping a wider range of studies can be performed, statistics alone of people who don't get the help they need really needs to decline. Anyways just remember that you're not alone, there will always be somebody who cares. May you give yourself the life you want and always keep the positives in mind, take care and stay safe
I was searching the comment section for this necessary explanation. Thanks. But it's not only women's problem tho. There are also many men out there who misdiagnosed because of the exact same reasons.
To be fair he did state there is a wide spectrum.
Well he did make sure to point out that there is a spectrum, it’s a few minutes piece he really can’t go that deep.
That's exactly right! I never got diagnosed until I was 31 after having a mental breakdown. It's because of how bad everything was while still trying to mask, keep working and dealing with stress and other mental health problems (anxiety and depression).
There are a lot of women 30+ getting a late diagnosis because all the research was male based. It wasn't picked up on in schools for us because "girls don't have autism" (when really we just express/cope with things differently). The weird thing is that I was mostly non verbal as a kid - 'selective' mutism and it still wasn't picked up.
Thankfully things are changing.
SO glad you got into the differences between OCD and OCPD.
