- An interview with a person who is suffering from Catatonic Schizophrenia - you can found the original link here: • Video
Catatonic schizophrenia, rare severe mental disorder characterized by striking motor behaviour, typically involving either significant reductions in voluntary movement or hyperactivity and agitation. In some cases, the patient may remain in a state of almost complete immobility, often assuming statuesque positions.

She was actually doing a really good job communicating her experiences in a way that can be understood. Number one thing that strikes me when I hear about people’s experiences with schizophrenia is how exhausting it sounds.
I have Schizo and the only thing that Will help us Who have this is freedom. The clothes we wear, being inside. Words especially Words fk with our heads,. Traumatic expériences but like its all linked to everything. Sounds. Its like being hyponotized 24/7 in autopilot unless im outside doing meditation & when i Do méditation,its like I see the world for what IT is no Words just surroundedby trees, natural things & suddenly im mentally free. They call this mental illness but IT was created and its still going but its everything around. The material. And its getting worse everyday. I just need the courage to drop IT all and live naturally. The first time I had this intense meditation where suddenly i was out of m'y body and i could feel everything around me and m'y intuition just told me likethe physical world is and illusion.i couldnt deny what i was seeing. IT was too strong. M'y thoughts were haunting me at first until i went outside and the trees were suddenly Alive and its like I could communicate telepathicaly and i could feel the energy Everywhere going Up and down my spine. That experienced changed the way i see everything and im mostly certain that humains can naturaly communicate telepathicaly and that words were invented with the purpose of taking that away from us and adapting . Its not a human évolution. Its a d'évolution. Not only that when the out of body expériences happened. I remembered everything about being born. And IT all just clicked. Knowledge is a rumor until its Lived in the body
@@Psych369 very remarkable thoughts Psych. Me and my brother used to talk about advanced mental availabilities and communication methods. Some people develop differently or sit at different stages in the human evolution. Keep an open mind and don’t mind the people that are not as advanced as you. Sometimes the simple things are what makes us the happiest. Also remember, we love you. Always. ❤️
@@Psych369 yeah interesting insights, I have struggled with similar over sensitivty for a long time. It is likely that many with such 'mental illness' are just sensitives and are struggling with the parts of the brain, intuition and awareness which is switched off in most other people, and yes words/labels/constructs totally distract from a more pure experience of life. I would consider taking up something like the Wim Hof method too, get in nature and develop more of a grounded foundation, even resistance training, martial arts, focus on developing the body more and get out of the mind. Breath work can be amazing though, it can help iron out a lot of the physical stress and even potentially resolve the over activity that is going on inside.
You speak french?
@@learningtoyoutube9033 I stand differently when I'm away from the piano...
My daughter is a CNA who works for a home medical company. One of her clients had catatonic depression. This was the first time my daughter had ever had a mentally ill client, and it was by far her most difficult. She initially met her client while she was having a great response to her medication, but as time wore on she saw her wilt and disappear into herself just a little more every day, until she showed up one day to find her client in bed, staring off into the distance, with absolutely no response. It tore my daughter up to see this once- vibrant woman no longer responsive. She sat by her bed and talked to her, read to her, but never broke through. Her client was eventually institutionalized, and she never saw her again. My daughter grieved for her client. It was a tough initiation into psychiatric care. It takes a very special person to work in mental health.
That's so awful 😢 seems they should have stop the medication? Maybe something else or something... 🫂😔🕊
I suffer from AD/HD, so this condition must be the polar opposite of catatonic, at least physically speaking.
I believe the doctor makes her walk at the beginning to show how little movement she has it’s almost robotic
very robotic
And because catatonic schizophrenia causes odd movements in people. This is the doctor pointing out one of the symptoms.
Interesting it can almost be a bit like paralysis, almost like being trapped in a certain state of fight and flight/hypersensitivity. What I found really interesting just yesterday was watching the before and after of Cecilia on the Special Books for Kids channel, in the original interview she is quite tense/highly strung then in the after she looks completely different because she is far more relaxed and naturally expressive. I think this goes to show how mental illness sometimes can be just a mind/neurological/body phenomena and maybe it is retrainable by retraining the body, even just getting people relaxed properly and unstuck.
Yeah, really robotic, very sad.😢
For us who don't speak French the "interuptions" is quite helpful in getting some understanding of what this young lady was going thru.
There is another channel with her interview and it has subtitles and no interuptions The channel is "Pika Grape Snack" ☮️🌈💖
Wonder where she is now. If she’s still alive after so many decades
To anyone wondering if they can trust his translation, yes you can. It's pretty accurate.
@@kova1577
This lady is a dear friend of mine…. We are going to lunch tomorrow…… she is now 77 & doing well.
She went on to be a school teacher in Ontario as she is originally from Quebec & travelled the world with her mom.
@@creatorschild8247 how nice for her
How she’s dressed isn’t really for clubbing or anything...pretty standard everyday women’s fashion for the time. She probably dressed like that for work, plus people did used to dress up for a doctor visit then.
I dress up for a Dr's visit now. Pulling out the nice blouse for Dr Malony.
Mini skirts were just in and they represented being "with it" and "hip" right?
They still do in Europe. Unfortunately the US has lost their ways. Imagine when we saw people in pjs going to the store😅 not common over there and unseen.
@@lizgaby9761 no one dresses up for the doctor here
@@billyamer9314 it's not about dressing for the doctor but to look good. You don't have the concept and it's fine but once you've seen it and experienced it, there's no going back. I can't and will never wear pjs anywhere. I do think its an american culture though and I think it's cool if you like it, but I prefer to dress good.
as someone with anxiety, i can understand a lot of what shes describing. feeling like everyones watching me and judging me makes it very difficult to go anywhere public, but a lot of people dont understand. its exhausting to feel constantly threatened.
The ones who might be watching and judging you are the ones who were mostly likely to have been neglected as infants. It's sad.
The good news is, you do not need to impress anyone, except yourself. Eventually just doing what brings you purpose and joy will naturally attract like minded people and valuable relationships.
Yeh anxiety causes intense imposter syndrome that's what it is, because first it starts off dysregulating for some reason, then quickly either go flat emotionally or your brains filter goes down and things and people that didn't bother you before and things they do suddenly somehow bothers you cos you can't filter it out and waft it away easily like you usually can.
Then comes quickly comes the intense imposter syndrome and the traumas start to surface and race around your mind, and you feel like an alien amongst everyone, you're scared of everyone cos you don't know who to trust, and you feel so much paranoia about people and it's transfering onto everyone, that we just can't be around people for a few days because everyone is just bothering us.
In general with anxiety we feel these things but at a lower frequency which really sucks but during episodes, which for me happen everyone 2 - 4 months, it's SO intense that i have to just have a few days of less activity until it then disappears like nothing happened lol i'm so incredibly overwhelmed by it and i definitely go more depressed than i usually feel too.
It certainly sucks always feeling threatened by people, although it's also totally valid cos of how much bullying and abusive behaviors we experience cos people sense something isn't quite right with us, or people just target us because they sense it just to be bullies, i attract these people like magnets and i've gone through a lot of abusive behaviors over the years, and i don't know when it started but i've always been this way as far back as i can remember and i think my hormone issues made it worse.
I totally feel ya and tackling the paranoid feelings is definitely an inconvenience cos we have no choice but to just relax and spend some time alone until we normalize again to... whatever "normal" levels of anxiety we generally feel, to where we aren't dysregulated. The biggest culprit for me is certainly my hormone issues.
It would be exhausting to believe you are constantly the center of everyone's attention. In reality, you are not. Accepting that fact is liberating. I hope you are able to get help.
@@smittysmeee That's not what it is at all... believe me it isn't, it's connected to a number of things and can even be genetic whether the mental health condition or some kind of hormonal condition or both like is prevalent with me and so many others too.
There's no preventing it from happening either because we don't have the medical means to fix these issues, as much as doctors try to say "do this... do that... it'll make you better" they even have women obsessed with diets and losing weight when it does nothing about how you feel and how it effects your mental health because ultimately simply "managing" symptoms doesn't cure it.
All the traumas, neglect, abusive behaviors, being shut down and invalidated over the years is a big part of it too and going through it for years on a long term basis, your messed up before you can even understand any of it.
So you experienced this from people your whole life so far so your nervous system is trained to feel scared and threatened by people as a result cos... people, and as much as people would like to think mental health conditions aren't effected by how people treat you and it just somehow... happens for no reason at all... it's simply not the case and so it's not invalid or "crazy" at all... it's just your mind and your body has learned to protective behaviors and mind sets from all these traumas you're going through when you're younger, and happens far more easily when you genetically have a condition.
Trying to change that is no easy feat cos it wasn't for no reason and starts to really effect you in your adult life when you need to be fully functional and start learning to survive on your own. Fact is we humans don't respond very well to higher levels stress and pressure it's not what we're built for, but ultimately we've made to live in a very messed up world full of high stress and pressure, clearly not designed for us and anyone can also become mentally ill as we just saw with all the unnecessary lock downs and how fast that can happen, isolation for long periods isn't good for us either.
It's a lot more complicated than a lot of people still want to believe unfortunately, and you'll still be effected by it for the rest of your life and have to live with it maybe on a lower level, but it's still always going to be there, that's the struggle of mental health and other conditions. So it's not because someone thinks they're "center of attention" it's a real fear of people cos face it... humans are scary and capable of anything.
One thing people get taught in prisons is to not do anything to draw attention to yourself and move away when there's trouble so they don't get caught up in it, and i noticed people in general are taught to do this in schools which is why people scatter when there's trouble, but what then when you didn't do anything to draw attention to yourself? then you may be seen as the problem not the victim sooo everyone should move away from you now, even when you've been trapped in the situation and it's how you're so easily alienated. When that happens in a way you were put in that lime light and made to feel exposed and violated, having that happen on a long term basis it changes you. Humans don't like that much attention all the time directed at them negative or positive.
I am not a medical professional, but one of the things that I noticed is an almost absent blinking of the eyes.
Only occasionally does she fully blink.
Great pick!
Yep, the TH-camr here pointed that out right in the beginning and since then, I've paid attention to it. I watched her blink exactly once...
Yes that would be catatonic. But also keep note that they do not specify medication and or treatment done prior to this interview.
It is particularly interesting because it is such an automatic thing. One might think that the brain has little to do with it.
He mentioned that.
I was in my 20s during the 60s (I'm 77 now). First, her dress style was prevalent for young women, inspired by Twiggy, who introduced the MOD fashion of the 60s. Second, patient consent in the 60s was not a practice. By walking into the office of a medical professional, you essentially were "consenting."
Who are you? I think that I went to Uni with you?!
@@barneyronnie That would not be possible as I did not attend university.
@@Improbable_Fiction Oh, I see. You reminded me of an old acquaintance from Luxembourg.
@@barneyronnie I was born, and raised and have lived in Toulouse, France, my whole life.
@@Improbable_Fiction Sounds like a great life! I used to vacation in Southern France -'a beautiful country.
Wow, it seems like she is holding her breath the entire time. My heart goes with her.
It’s so nice to come across a reaction video (as much as I enjoy the music reactions) where I actually learn something about a really important subject -and to listen to someone who can talk eloquently. Thank you!
When I was diagnosed Catatonic last year I was completely mute save for occasional echolalia. It's really bizarre seeing a similar condition look so different
Our son had it. But he had not been drinking or eating and had a low body weight so who knows
I've seen my mom in Catatonic states when I was younger. It was very scary for me as a child not understanding what was happening. Then she would have to go to the hospital and be fine for months until she was recovered. Each time it took shook therapy to bring her out of it. She would be okay for a few years then it would happen again. She passed ten years ago from natural causes. But, I guess as she got older meds changed it after I was in my mid 20s it didn't happen anymore. I can only attribute it to meds.
@@kiki29073 did your mum stop having it then? My son had not been eating and went into that state but he had a drip feeding him with vitamins and fluids . He was much better in the morning but then they decided to retain him he still laughs to himself
What is echollia
@@alisonnorcross951 repeating the words and sentences. As if you asked him a question he won’t actually answer you, you would repeat it over and over
👋 schizophrenic here. It’s.. interesting to see somebody else who has it. Especially so long ago. Luckily I’ve also been seeking help for a while and I’m now on medication and relatively stable
Whatkind of meds if you dont mind me asking.
@@rakgadim.mohlala1324 it’s something I’d rather not mention on... well, TH-cam
Good on you! Best way of maintaining your well-being is sticking to your medication.
Back in college I attended a conference by a clinical psychologist who was herself a paranoid schizophrenic: She would just disregard the "voices" her mind hallucinated hearing.
@@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq Well she is very lucky then, for many the voices would only get angrier and more insistent until it becomes just shouting... If ignored
Thank you from the UK! Was really fascinating to have the discussion broken down and explained
please do more of these pointing out the symptoms. It's really helpful (as a med student).
love from India :)
Thanks so much Verbena, that's great to hear it's helpful. I'm aiming to do one reaction a week. Last week was Mania in bipolar and i've just finished filming a reaction to OCD. Graet to hear it's helpful, please share with your colleagues if you think it could help them!
Any conditions in particular you'd like to see reactions to Verbena?
Love from Sydney!
@@DrSylgreat work. Keep it up. I've already shared to a few of my friends... 👍🏼
Keep it coming! Would love to see depression, anxiety and related disorders...maybe neurocognitive disorders too?
I've just started studying psychiatry and we're having vacations so it's really helpful to see cases and explanation like this. Thank you Dr.!
He is a very compassionate medical doctors, many psychiatrists here in the U.S., particularly those working in government hospitals, regard psychiatric patients as little less than weirdos.
She is hauntingly beautiful.
You're weird lol.
the original video of this girl has some weird comments attacking anyone saying anything about her appearance or her behavior. its as if people are somehow jealous or offended by something were saying about her. seems like other crazies attack us to get attention.
@Glenn Newton I do wear glasses. But brother... That lady is not cute.
@Glenn Newton I say you're weird. This lady has issues and you're focused on how pretty she is man. 🤔
@Glenn Newton that girl has a strange body or that outfit is so wrong
I had watched this video before but didn't know what to look for... commentary was very helpful!
Lol, as for her dress style, one of my earliest school memories (for obvious reasons) was of a particularly beautiful young teacher who wore outfits just like this to school every day. She was the youngest teacher at that elementary school but this was a very common type of dress among the twenty-somethings of the late sixties/early seventies. Even at a very early age I was enamored with her.
@Dach
Unless that girl travelled backward in a time machine her dress style is most definitely from the 60s to the early 70s. Look at her shoes. That style didn’t exist in the 50s. The videos shown on his channel range from the forties to decades later. Why would you think this was in the fifties? The very first mini-skirt was invented in 1963, and didn’t spread to the masses for a couple years.
This lady who is now 77 is my dear friend. She ended up being a school teacher & travelled the world.
She’s doing very well 🙏🏼
@DannyDeVito this is my dear friend… she’s 77 now….. this video was in 1964
I have seen this video on 3 channels over the last few years. I have wondered who this woman was and if she is still around, and how she’s doing. Give her my best. I have long seen her a person with great potential to become better off and more contented, and I have felt great empathy for her. She has such charm, and sincerity.
I remember my English teacher from my first year of high school, 1971. Angela Glover was her name. She was quite short with long, black hair, was very strikingly beautiful with a very shapely figure & used to wear very short mini dresses. I often wondered how I & all the other boys managed to concentrate enough to learn anything in her classes. However, she managed to keep order very well in class & made sure we all learned correct English. I owe my ability to structure sentences, to punctuate & to spell correctly to her.
This video is amazing. Thanks for the translate as well 😁
It's interesting to see how different types of mental illness can have similar symptoms?? (Obvs I'm not a doctor) but I have Social Anxiety Disorder and before I was able to get a hold of it with medicine and therapy, I kind of did similar things? I was always convinced everyone was looking at me and judging me and I was so scared of being perceived negatively I would hyperfocus on every part of my body and make sure I was sitting/standing/walking "correctly" and it felt super forced. I would even refuse to speak in class even if I was called on I was just so panicked. Luckily I'm SO much better now and can do so many things I couldn't before (I even had to leave school for a while), but looking back on it now with more insight I can see how strange I must have come off. Thank god for mental health professionals, I'd be dead without them.
Yeah I mean ppl with schizophrenia can also have very high anxiety levels and paranoia. I have social anxiety, generalised and agoraphobia. You can have levels of paranoia and fear of judgment with "normal" anxiety disorders. For schizophrenia is very very high levels though coupled with delusions and hallucinations. Can be very scary for those dealing with it.
I have social and general anxiety, a bit of agoraphobia, and I too have felt as you have described. Now I'm on medication but I don't think I'm on a high enough dose yet. It's good to know I'm not alone. Take care
Xanax and Dilaudid will cure anything😊
My son was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder around 10 years ago and it became worse. He was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia 6 months ago and finally we might get somewhere.
Me too! But have not got help yet but it sounds like if I recognize and talk about it it helps. Very similar feelings! Yes thanks😊
Thank you, Syl, I appreciated your commentary and was glad to learn about thought blocking and pupillary dilation in catatonia.
Would be interested in seeing you explain more videos from that channel! I also recently stumbled upon it and found myself entranced for hours. Your commentary was interesting and easy to follow, please do more!
Girl: I feel like 2 different people at work and at home.
Every single person who works customer service: You and me both, sister.
Not the right place for this comment
It is good that your sharing this. I have seen several people who are schizophrenic in my life but never understood what it really was. I cannot imagine what those folks are going through. Everyone deserves a chance at life. I hope there is a cure someday.
Ms Connie Jo, will you ever, if you want to wake up, you will need an imagination! I c you. You wanted me to comment, I've seen your dream's, I've posted this comment, lucid dreaming is the beginning, admire the people that C , learn what they learn! don't pity anyone-ever! the shit they say could be warnings or advice and why we shouldn't spaz-out be "someone has divine instructions" and your too stupid to interpret them!
@@LtHarkness187 I don’t understand you and calling someone stupid is unkind. I watched this video to learn about this illness. I have empathy for anyone with illness no matter what kind it is. Be happy. Live your life and carry on.
Thank you for your translation as well as your compassion for your "patient" , and her rights under our HIPAA regulations (even though she's a French citizen lol😉 I'm an Occupational Therapist an have never seen Catatonic Schizophrenia so this was really interesting to me, and I appreciated your input and explanations! How sad that she felt such fear but it's certainly fortuitous that she at least knew how to get some help. God bless her, and I hope that if she is still living that her mental health has improved and she has had a full life.
I am a counselor in the US and these videos are very helpful. They will help me recognize things in my clients. I have always struggled with flat versus blunt affect.
One of my best friends is a therapist and has worked in the field of mental health for years, including high acuity in-patient settings. She’s seen a lot, including witnessing a coworker being stabbed by a patient. She says the scariest thing she’s ever seen is catatonia. There was a resident who’s treatment gradually stopped working and his catatonia returned. She hadn’t seen him untreated, only knew him as a friendly, lively person. But slowly over days everything slowed down until he was essentially like a manikin. He completely stopped responding to stimuli and would remain in whatever position they placed him in. They only moved him for his care & safety. I don’t mean they posed him for their amusement by any means. But that was the most frightening thing she ever saw. To watch an lovely, outgoing man slowly disappear until he was completely locked in his body & totally aware of what was happening but unable to do anything about it. It really does sound terrifying
A great analysis on an very interesting subject. Thankyou for your insight.. and the translation!
Your videos are really informative! Thanks for the translation as well!!
I was watching videos from that channel cause I found them so interesting to observe. I am a junior doctor as well (GP) and I always observe people, I love you are commenting while observing these people, we never get to do that in front of a patient.
Nice videos!
I’ve watched pika grape videos for a long time and always wanted a medical commentary with them. Thank you.
Thank you!!
It’s people and cases like this that helped me decide on pursuing a career in psychology (and hopefully specialising in children and adolescents, maybe even trauma response)
Please ... help me! I keep getting sicker and sicker.
Great idea to do this, the way you put out your feedback makes it easy to remember key points. Thank you.
Very interesting to hear someone commenting on these videos which sadly come with little to no context and explanations. Thank you!
Just one thing: when you were explaining while she talked I couldn't understand you at all. So that was a bit unfortunate. But still overall great insight! 🙏
i love ur videos when u react to these ppl with Schizophrenia. i've always found it interesting and finally someone explaining!
I discovered Pika's channel years ago! She was attending medical school while posting. Ultimately, she had to stop posting because it got to be too much. She took great care and pride which showed in her channel. Glad others are seeing her work!
Damn! He's awesome at translating all of that! Good job man!
thank you for the translation it means a lot
Needed this for a psych class Ty🙏 this really helped because of the little cases of catatonic schizophrenia
I have just found your reaction videos and I hope you have done more because I have hit the subscribe button. I find these videos fascinating and your analysis is excellent.
Just so you know, the insight I got from this video is something I'd never have gotten otherwise. It's incredible to me that are experiencing something that to me would be a thought experiment.
So good to hear it's useful James, comment the link to any videos you'd like a reaction video!😍
New subbie, and really enjoying these reactions.. Please keep doing them! 😁
Pika Grape Snake has been doing this for a while. She's great
These are interesting, thank you for sharing your insight.
I've read reople can sometimes have minor psychotic episodes, and I think I had one 2-day one that was medicine-induced -- when I was a teenager I took Celexa and had a *very* bad reaction to it. Not everyone has a bad reaction, but it put me off SSRIs forever. Aside from feeling like my skeleton wanted to leap out of my mouth and like there bugs all over me, I was having constant thoughts of hurting others or myself, and an agitated reaction to noise and presence other people. I got through it, but there were times I'd space out and come to in the process of doing something I didn't remember starting or want to do. That last part was probably the most scary. I'm nearly 40 now, and haven't had a problem since.
I was on Celexa as well and I had a VERY BAD reaction to it, like lockjaw, paranoia, and I was physically unable to eat, Frick SSRIs
This is such a sad illness. It would be really interesting to see what happened in her future. Was she like this the rest of her life? Was she eventually able to continue working? Back then, were there any successful medications to help with this condition? I find these old videos fascinating, but they always make me want to know what the rest of their life was like.
Someone posted on another TH-cam channel that she killed herself. Apparently believing people were after her, she ended up jumping off a bridge to her death. Who knows for sure as it occurred so long ago though.
The Swiss psychiatrist Carl G. Jung saw a spiritual, not particularly or necessarily benevolent, side to many schizophrenia cases.
His commentary was very insightful and always helps people empathize with patients and erase the stigma, AND HE SPEAKS FRENCH AS WELL? You would make such a great doctor🤗
There is another catatonic schizophrenic person interviewed in another "episode" and it's really interesting because a relative of the person being interviewed comments in the comment section regarding a bit more details on his life. For reference I believe the video is called Interview: Catatonic Schizophrenic. Very interesting interview where the patient describes being a pianist but the relative in the comment section said that he actually didnt know how to play but had this obsession over it his entire life. Very sad stuff and I also hope consent was given for that interview as well. Love these videos. Please keep them up!
I'll check it out! Hit the bell icon to get alerts and I'll publish it ASAP
@@DrSyl awesome! It might be posted by another TH-camr. I'll check now and edit this comment.
Edited: found the channel it's under and it's called "ktrypy1111"
Her body movements are really rigid. Like her hands make a slight movement but the rest of her body is dead weight or robotic.
Really interesting video please react more of these videos we learn from you a lot thanks for doing this keep it up
Thanks so much! I made one other one about Mania. I’ll try do more :D
my daughter had this happen to her in the mall. Her boyfriend called and said she wasn’t moving! She could hear me but couldn’t move or answer me. She couldn’t talk or move at all like this girl
I hope she is doing well.
I watched this interview a few months ago and the only thing I really understood was this girl schizophrenic. So thank you for the helping us understand!
Hi syl, can you explain a bit more about the nature of the illness and how it presents when you start a video. That would really help lay people to understand it better.
I'm living in Sydney, diagnosed with DID. I'm studying psychology... I want to do theoretical research. The clip is rather short, we have to take it for granted that the diagnosis is correct considering the historical position of psychology/psychiatry at the time, but very interesting. I've seen a few of them, they are very interesting for educational purposes. Perhaps it's time a new series was done, with updated info.
I wish the video’s english subtitles were on (as it mentions in the title of the black and white video) to more easily follow along and gain more insight through Dr. Syl’s additional translations. Very impressive translations on your part though! As a Canadian, not living in a French-speaking area of Canada and having to learn French (elementary school through to university) I still struggle to understand spoken French! Not much trouble speaking or writing, but listening and understanding is where I still struggle, so good on ya!
Your French skills are on point... I was impressed.
Hi, I wouldn't have noticed the thought blocks without you bringing them to my attention.
What would you say is her prognosis considering the drugs avaialble at the time and the fact she has only been presenting for 3 weeks.
Great channel btw, I've subscribed. 👍🏻
So it takes a lot more info and time to get a good assessment of all the prognostic factors. And it’s a hard thing to predict but based on her baseline level of functioning, short prodromes phase (I’m assuming) and the fact that she probably hasn’t trialled any antipsychotics I’d be cautiously optimistic. And thanks so much for the sub please feel free to request any vids
Hello Doctor, I watched her interview previously and it had english subtitles. It would've been great to enable them during your reaction/brief analysis. Greetings!
not sure how old this video is but love to see a follow up of how she`s doing today in 2023
God bless all. Grateful to understand as I'm 1/2 française. My heart sinks with respect to the horror and stigma etc. So many have endured.
I love your channel, I just discovered it. I actually would prefer if you paused the video more often to talk about what's going on. The pauses are actually helpful. 😊
I feel really sorry for her and especially way back then when medications for what she has more than likely nonexistent.
Oh they had meds , yes they did
i like this. thankyou for the explanation.
I like when you translate, so interrupt to your hearts content! 😂
Sir, also please tell us, how to differentiate between the scripted videos(where they are acting), and where they are treating real patients.
Although, I am interested to see the both of the types, but still I'll know then.
I'm currently reviewing for boards for Psychometrician, this is very helpful 🙏
Omg thanks for the shout out :)
With pleasure! Thanks for your outstanding channel!
Doctor, have you ever read the book The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat? It is a 1985 book by neurologist Oliver Sacks describing the case histories of some of his patients. I read the small getting my master's degree in school psychology. I think you would find it interesting.
I read it years ago. It was absolutely fascinating. The brain and the mind are such fascinating areas to study.
Its analysis like this that confirms that I have no business judging people with mental illness. And neither does the rest of the internet.
People say "I don't judge" and with their next breath, judge a person's behavior and value.
I had no clue about the things the doctor said until he mentioned them. If I ran across someone like this patient, I would think "well that was different" but assumed she was harmless.
Good videos. I suggest checking audio levels on this and the other one with the piano guy. You are a little quiet and the video is loud. Thanks again
I wonder what eventually happened to her and whether she was able to live a somewhat normal life.
Read somewhere, she later jump of a bridge after her mother stopped the car they were driving. Can't find the link. Maybe someone has it?
@@jgtemperton damn
@@jgtemperton how would you know this? Do you even know her name so someone COULD try to find out?
@@jgtemperton that is so sad
@@jgtemperton Some people just revel in misery and causing misery. I don't believe you for a moment.
Please continue the videos
Been diagnosed with schizophrenia since 88 it stinks just stay on my meds was hard in the past now get montly injection been arrested numerous times because of my illnesses it seems the older I get I'm learning to deal with what,I have better control over my thoughts
I can only imagine what it feels like to have thoughts from what feels like an external force and to not be able to trust in yourself or your own actions. It must be terrifying and intrusive all at once.
Love the videos
Please, do more reactions to this old videos! Regards from Colombia, South America
God bless her , hope she is well now, in heaven or wherever she is. 🙏 I saw a homeless girl today that I believe had schizophrenia. She wouldn't respond to me. She was in the hot sun and wore winter clothes. It's summertime. I put some Gatorade and an umbrella for her to be protected from the sun by her feet. I hope she will be ok.
Please do more of these reactions. Preferably the Bipolar ones. It allows us a view into the struggle these people deal with.
Psychiatry question: I read a cataonia case report; they gave her courses of treatments (antidepressants and all). She had deteroration in self care and she started to become catatonic. The thing that seems to work for her was lorazepam; how does it help in catatonia?
Yea Benzos are the mainstay treatment of catatonia and a positive response to them actually supports the diagnosis. Not sure of why GABAergic meds help catatonia though - I'll ask my reg next week! Great question and thanks so much for the comment!
I remember when I was taking an intro to psychology course my sister told me that a picture she took with her phone was moving + she heard a whispering sound next to her as the image was kind of moving. So that made me focus, and I gave her an example of the whispering, and she said "yes, yup, that's how it sounded like".
It made me scared because when I was 16-17 I did have the same thing once, scary as hell (imagine you being alone in the hosue and suddenly you get scared then a sound next to your ear is like "Booo :)", like it knows that you're scared and it decides to freak you out for fun). But that was it. And I did become very very bad/ill after taking antidepressants. I'm 22 and in medical school and when I heard my sister saying what she said (she's 12 , so most likely it's the hormones kicking into high gear skewing things up a bit), I told her a one time thing is not a problem. But inside I was like "Oh no, I hope this thing is not running in the family; because it sucks".
I did seek help (talking with a psychologist) because I was in a rut, and I was like "bluh" towards my academics, and careless towards things, not seeing the point of life (At one point I was like writing "Ok, I'm 22, give or take, I got about 50 years to live; that's too much" I was kind of feeling that since I'm suffering day by day, 50 years is like "hahahahaha; yeah right, it's just too much to handle". And I did hurt myself one night, I guess because I was focused on the anhedonia, I was trying to try and feel like I used to before. It felt for so long that I can't feel things fully, like I will not have a state of mind/mood through out the day; it was mostly flat and squeezed.
Then was where I decided to talk to a psychologist. It did feel like antidepressants did scew me up a bit. But I'm starting to get out of the whole I was in, I'm kind of doing things more and such; talk therapy works...
Great to hear that the talking therapies are having a positive impact , I know they are a lot of hard work but definitely worth it. Good on you! I would only add that there are many antidepressants to choose from so if you had a bad experience with one, that doesn't necessarily mean the rest would have the same side effects. Thank you so much for sharing and commenting and wishing you a wonderful week.
Can you do a review of the other catatonic schizo video with the pianist? I really enjoyed this!
Thanks jasmine!!! Can you send me the link?

@@DrSyl Yes I'd be very keen on seeing your view on that one. It was the first one on the channel I watched and its quite impactful.
@@DrSyl yes! here it is! th-cam.com/video/IehtMYlOuIk/w-d-xo.html
Dr. Syl is a "Junior Medical Doctor?" A full explanation of that title and related practice experience would have been very useful. However, thank you for this quite brief commentary. I will view Dr. Elliot Carthy's review of this interview as well.
She’s so lovely ❤️
From a psych nurse you did an excellent job - very knowledgeable! Are you thinking of going into psychiatry?
Excellent. Let's blow up Dr. Syl!
Thank you Dr.
If you watch the actual video of the young woman, you can turn on the CC closed captions to see the English translation.
Thank u fr ur effrt
Hi, I am not a doctor, just curious. The lady said that she'd had the symptoms for three weeks, can a psychiatric illness of this kind manifest so quickly?
Thank you for this series of videos.
I’m not a doctor either but I believe so. The only case that I know personally was a brother of a friend that started officer training and literally out of the blue had a psychotic break. It can be triggered by stress and the thing everyone asks afterwards is “was it inevitable or did the situation cause it? “
Yeh they can fall into a bad episode out of the blue they never know when or see it coming, it happens in response to stresses, maybe going through constant bullying and abusive behaviors, traumatic events.
Hormones and deficiencies can play a big role in it too they can actually cause anxiety, depression and other mental health issues and even just a small drop in iron or something else in your body you feel the effects of it especially the fatigue and fogginess possibly headaches and body aches.
I wonder if her good grooming/self care was the result of living with her mother, someone who cares for her. I could be wrong, but I can't imagine her sitting in front of a mirror doing her own hair or picking out her own clothes. It's so tragic. I hope she got a better hold of her symptoms later in her life.
Could some of her affect also be caused from medication? It is especially her blinking for me. I mean her...partial blinking. Today, watching this video, I would write some of her affect off to the meds. But, I've never interviewed someone with Catatonic Schizophrenia. So, I would be wrong and could miss some important things.
I don't remember if they asked her when she got there. Is she just coming in? Or have they been treating her? Do we even know? I'm sorry. :) I sincerely want to know. What part of her actions could also be her meds. I guess I have always thought of CS as Richard DeNiro in Awakings. Where he would hold his position with his arm.
This is so interesting to me. I've only just started the video and I've written this much. I will keep further comments to myself.
Except, i am a senior at a university in the states, studying to be a social worker. LCSW is the goal. When I get back to school, I will 100% recommend your videos to my professors and classmates. I plan on going in to mental health and there are a lot of us at my school. Thank you!!
Already back..I think the self-care part is hugely affected by the fact it is the 60s. They wouldn't have let her appear any other way I don't think. Yes?
Ah watching a video like this is always as bit disconcerting. Processing the patient experience and the reactions and frameworks applied. And comparing my own experience to them.
My autism assessment that led to diagnosis, recently in my early forties, picked up on my report the times that I had wondered if I had schizophrenia having read a bit about it, and how I became a bit obsessed with it. And the reactiveness of my face was also mentioned.
This I guess ties in with the history of the diagnosis that used to be more closely tied to schizophrenia than it is today, originally considered a kind of schizophrenia.
I have also read via twitter blogs on a specific autistic kind of catatonia.
My head is all too full with a lifetime of experiences that might fit in different diagnostic boxes! As well as the relevant information absorbed and remembered and secondary thoughts! All that investigation, passive sponging-up and thinking had in trying to remember and work out those boxes. That done so as to navigate through without being a passive victim sucked up into a system that did more harm than good against my will nor left drifting without help. Unfortunately this does seem to be necessary but it's a complex balancing act for both sides. The best intentions can turn and have turned into ethically questionable misdiagnosis or removal of agency, misjudged capacity, misapplied treatments. And we're all human with a variety of motivations. Power dynamics can be abused, people even doctors make mistakes or have their own delusions or socially un-earnt authority. These are some of the really painful questions at the heart of patient collaboration/user-led services, survivor movements and indeed anti-psychiatry.
Having had two psychiatrists dismiss the possibility of autism before a later crisis brought the referral that led to diagnosis. And the involvement of maybe more anxious paranoid thought as part of postnatal depression and some voice hearing a bit like intrusive thoughts and indeed self aware but insistent paranoia that spikes at times of stress but not quite attracting treatment or a personality disorder diagnosis either, despite disclosure all feels a bit complicated. I have also been interested in the area for a long time. And then again I'm aware of iatrogenic conditions and also of a range of different non-service-user, non-clinical perspectives. So I'm very aware of a lot of connections and possibilities. My life feels like Sliding Doors mental health edition!
It looks like I may have ADHD & dyspraxia too. On this current pathway.
I was always different, I was called many different kinds of names. When I thought about having schizophrenia most, at university, it was especially the negative symptoms and my religious experience I was thinking about.
But I have possibly always had a self aware tendency to more paranoid or weirdly expensive quixotic grand narrative thinking, a coping mechanism partly, and somewhat dissociated: I was always seeing everything ranged against me but able to challenge it and I had been subjected to quite deliberately harsh bullying to meltdown as a kid as well as struggling academically to write things down despite good IQ. A very spiky profile. Always developmental concerns.
I wonder how like this woman I am. But her condition seems more pronounced and more actute.
I'm not an expert at all and have no experience or knowledge on the matter. I found it amazing that a person can sit and talk for a long time period without even once blinking their eyes.
This is my dear friend who is now 77.
This was in Quebec not France. This video was in 1964
She went on to be a school teacher & travelled the world.
She currently lives on her own & is doing well.
Thanks for the info..I was just wondering what became of her..I'm glad she is ok...
I am so happy to hear this young lady went on in life. I would love to know how she did in life. One has to feel sorry for her when watching the video.
@@garytennant210 please don’t feel sorry for her……. She went on to college, became a teacher & travelled the world with her mom.
She is currently 77 and doing very well.
I’m actually taking her to lunch in an hour. 🙏🏼
Idk if I believe you js some random person on the internet-
@@kandgray
I don’t care what you believe.
I’ve been showing her some of the wonderful & positive comments…… she will have a great laugh at yours.
I bet back then they didn't even tell the patients there being filmed. Also I wonder if there's anyone on that channel back that was completely acting as I seen several people with the exact same diagnosis yet acting totally different. Some will constantly move uncontrollably which is really sad & others will not even move an inch.
I have severe insomnia from a rare breathing issue after a nasal surgery that went wrong in 2004 which approx 32% of the air I breath in doesn't reach my lungs and it feels like every breath I take feels like im suffocating & you never get used to it. It also gave me tinnitus in both ears so the most I get is 4 to 5 hours of sleep max but that's also with 2 nights not even lying down purposely staying awake so I can get in a stright 5 hours as it's worsened over the years so I could only imagine these poor souls that have constant thoughts racing& again some constantly cant stop moving so I wonder how they ever get any sleep at all.😔
This was super fascinating to watch. Perhaps most fascinating is the fact you've actually purchased TH-cam Premium 👀😲 lmao, great video tho
had the free trial then i forgot to cancel 😩 hehe
nice! hello from the Gong : )
Hello there! haha thanks for the comment
I wonder if this mental health issue is the same as the one in the true movie, Brain on Fire.
That woman had the same paranoia and moments of being catatonic. It’s not actually schizophrenia, but it is an immune disorder that attacks the brain and it’s treatable. It is often diagnosed as schizophrenia because the symptoms are the same.
Was she starting the beginning of splitting into another personality? And was this due to her job? It seems her job caused her so much stress, (specifically her boss) that she started to feel like two different persons (the one at work and the one at home)? She's so young. And I'm so curious as to what her home life was like. My mom is 76 and a paranoid schizophrenic for 50+ years. Her disease started in her early 20's. So this really fascinates me.
Lots of factors go into it really, genetics and hormone conditions are two of the biggest culprits or deficiencies which i know since i've recognized for the past couple years now i've always had anxiety and depression cos i've always felt different, foggy, disassociated, and anxious i've always had trust issues. Although my family dynamic is probs a main culprit too no doubt but it's always been like this, and anxiety conditions can turn into schizophrenia too in fact most mental health conditions are linked to anxiety, it just depends how it effects the individual person.
I noticed how well groomed and attractive she looks and wondered in her state if she had help, like a caring friend or family member. Also this seems like the 1960s and I'm from Canada, but my aunt worked in an office during that time and she told me about a coworker who wore go-go boots and dresses that short to work, so I think that was just the style at that time. I remember my aunt said the woman's underwear matched the fabric of her dress, because whenever she bent over to get files from the filing cabinet her underwear would show.
A very pretty young French girl. I wish that I could have gotten to know her. Maybe go out for tea. Definitely, a sweet, little gal😊

Hey... I'm interested in studying reality, life, death, philosophy...
Visit my channel for some videos on a wide variety of fascinating topics.
Cheers. :))
This woman has been admitted into hospital so I suspect she's medicated. Could this cause some of her symptoms? (lack of expression, emotion, dilated pupils, robotic movements)
I saw a different version of this video. In the one I saw she asked the girl to get up and walk long after the interview began. Also there were english subtitles.
Same.
That's the original video, I've seen that one too.
Yes I saw that she had issues with her parents I think
