Yesterday (ironically on Father's day) I had a breakthrough with my father. He never supported me in my pursue of psych degree and he always belittled the science itself. Unfortunately my mum has metastatic lung cancer, they just sold their house and are moving to a new one, his work is also stressing him out. He kept taking xanax (benzo) daily and he started developing symptoms such as forgetting to lock doors, misplacing items, insomnia, impulsivity etc. He called me and opened up about these things!!! We never had such a deep, genuine conversation and he had never asked for my help before. He always had the toxic masculinity mindset of "men cant show negative emotions" and never asked for any help, especially not from his own child. I happily referred him to a really good psychotherapist and im happy to say he is really keen on getting better. He now believes in what I do and it feels so good. This is what I always wished for (not the part where he is suffering but where he sees the beauty and importance of this profession). Sorry for the tangent, I just really wanted to share. Love your content as always❤
Sir I am currently 15 y/o, I want to be a clinical psychologist but I am not very good at natural science i am currently learning humanities (arts / social science) and am not very social able. So do you think it's a good field for me, if yes then what sort of courses or studies will be good?
I totally agree with you Dr. Ali. My parents disagree when I say "I want to study Psychology" because they think I'll work with "crazy people" And eventually become crazy myself. After all, I'll follow my passion of helping adolescents with their healing journey 😊 Happy Father's Day!
Your dad is so great man. I wish every parent was like that. He obviously just wanted to encourage you to be your own person despite his preferences. Man, he's pretty cool.
Thank you for sharing Dr.Ali! I'm an MFT and have a similar dynamic with my father who is gaining more awareness about mental health. My heart goes out to you as my brother struggles with his mental health as well. Thank you for sharing such a sweet and vulnerable moment with your father. It gives me hope for the continued growth of my family of origin. 😊
Im little late but happy father's day to both of you. 🤗 My son was diagnosed with bipolar at 7. He's 13 now and I am so thankful that I have fought to keep him in therapy. Its been hard.. so hard but it's getting better.. Im sorry to hear about your brother. May his soul rest in peace. 🙏🏻 I lost my 2 month old daughter from sids. Its a pain that never leaves and it changes you... sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worst. But To hear your dad talk about your brother was heartbreaking... i can't imagine losing my child like that. As i mentioned my son is bipolar and we have to anything dangerous like kitchen knives lighters and etc locked up. He has been doing so good even thru covid pandemic.. but I keep him on his meds and video chat with his psychiatrist and consulars on the regular. Its just a part of our lives. He gets frustrated but I explain that justLike children living with physical disabilities.. they need doctors to help them.. he needs doctors to help him with his mental health.
I'm sorry to hear about your brother 😞 I lost my sister to a physical illness (when I was 5), and it did impact our family, but we didn't get therapy for reasons similar to yours (I think).
Hey Doc Ali incase you see this comment I just wanna ask you about Pseudologia Fantastica (pathological lying) if it is real? In case it's real doc have you seen the movie "Stonehearst Asylum"? Cause I wanna ask you if it was portrayed properly in that movie? And lastly doc, how can it be cured? or is it curable? That's all doc ali incase you see this thank you so much fir reading this
Sir please reply my comment. When I am studying in my room, I unintentionally listen to fan sound even the fan sound is not much louder. It's disturb me to concentrate on studying. When i try to recall something i automatically watch an object that infront of me. Its disturb me. How to recover from this. Please help me 😔
Unrelated to the video (which the video is great btw!) But I look fairly young, I'm 18 and look about 14 years old. Would this in any way affect me in becoming a therapist? Sounds like a silly question, I know. But when people think of therapists they think of older and more professional looking people and I worry that when I begin to try and pursue this career I won't be taken seriously because of just how young I look. Is this me overthinking? 😂
Hey just coming from a soon to be graduating psychologist with a bit of a baby-face, don't worry about it! If you can show depth and experience in the way you communicate then if anything it's a bonus, clients (and particularly other young individuals, adolescents etc) may even feel more comfortable speaking to you later on when you're qualified if you just naturally have a youthful/approachable appearance. Everyone's different, don't let it stop you!
I unfortunately, one of those guys that believes psychology is not a real science, even point to very negative distain towards it and don't believe in mental health at all maybe cause I'm a narcissist I suppose , but I do like just people talking and your content
Hello Dr. Ali, this is Sania from Mumbai. I am currently in final sem of M.A Clinical Psychology. I want to do PhD in Psychology from U.S. Are you aware of any university which is fully funded for international students ?
With how much talk there is around race and privilege going on right now, I love how Anwar handled the news that the Indian actor in Short Circuit was actually a white actor wearing Black Face. Even though I’m white and I was horrified to hear this information, about to be upset, and Anwar pops up and says “well he did a good job!” Instead of choosing to jumping to be angry, offended or upset, he chose to say something simple, yet positive. I think it’s a lesson we can all learn from. Instead of going on the defensive and becoming upset in a situation similar to this where someone/some group is saying or doing something potentially offensive, we could try to stay positive and look above the situation, and not take it so seriously. Maybe the person/group doesn’t know what they did even offensive. We can’t expect the world to know what we find offensive by reading our minds, so maybe we could try to assume they don’t mean to be offensive. Just some food for thought!

Asian kids can be anything they want to be, as long as it's a doctor, lawyer, or engineer/j
Not true. They can be an accountant too
They can have government jobs too

I unfortunately, one of those guys that believes psychology is not a real science, even point to very negative distain towards it and don't believe in mental health at all maybe cause I'm a narcissist I suppose , but I do like just people talking and your content
Are you a Pakistani or Bharati or Bangladeshi or Nepali or from which country of south asia? because you are a south asian for sure!
Just asking
Hello Dr. Ali, this is Sania from Mumbai. I am currently in final sem of M.A Clinical Psychology. I want to do PhD in Psychology from U.S. Are you aware of any university which is fully funded for international students ?
I am wondering did Dr Ali become a psychologist due to his brother it's none of my business just curious 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
I see a TARDIS 👀
The TARDIS really gets around, huh?
