Check out my reaction to Bojack Horseman: • DOCTOR REACTS TO BOJAC...
It's a Sin reviews: • DOCTOR REACTS TO IT'S ...
This Doctor REACTS video is looking at two more episodes of Stranger Things. I was FASCINATED by the parallels between what was happening to Eleven and how we approach the treatment of mental illness, and there were some really interesting topics explored including synaptic plasticity, strokes, defense mechanisms of suppresson and repression, operant conditioning and much much more.
Let me know what you think!

It would be difficult to pin down to just a few scenes, as it runs through the whole season, but Max’s storyline in season 4 of Stranger Things is a brilliant representation of someone dealing with survivor’s guilt, trauma, depression, and suicidal ideation. There’s obviously a fantastical element to it, but it’s just so well done.
You should do this for Will (through the seasons)! He's definitely undergone a lot of trauma, plus being queer at a time when misinformation was even more widespread than it is now (aids, Reagan, etc..).. It'd be interesting to have your take!
- I didn't know they made Will gay. I liked that by setting it in the 80s that they would avoid the need to do the usual box checking but i guess you can't get to a 4th season without it. Still i havent seen a scene where they for sure say hes gay yet but i've got a couple more episodes in the last season to get through.
@@Babidi111 they haven’t confirmed it, but there have been a few seems throughout the seasons especially the latest seasons that hint towards it or something similar
@@Babidi111 It's something that has been hinted at since the first episode of the show
@@indigo6067 oh? I didn't notice, was there a particular scene that in hindsight would make it really clear?
@@Babidi111yeah, Joyce talking to Hopper about will being sensitive and bullied by kids and her ex husband for being queer. And Jonathan's flashback of Should I Stay or Should I Go, telling will he doesn't have to be into stereotypically boy things like baseball and should be whoever he wants
Can confirm in 20 years of nursing I have never given an injection to the neck!
Good!!!
Bit of a different situation here heh but yess good
I think it's kinda rude that my brain has decided that I can handle remembering my repressed memories now. Like we couldn't have a meeting? State our case, discuss pros and cons? Make a mutual decision? Sure it's nice to not have so many blank spots in my memories, but those blank spots were there for a reason and I honestly don't know if I'm happy or sad that I'm remembering
you should react to the rest of russian doll! the second season covers a lot of issues like generational trauma and psychological treatment. i think you'd find it very interesting :D
Doctor Elliott, I would love for you to react to Our Flag Means Death, from HBOmax! It's an LGBT period romcom that touches themes of love, identity and self descovery with middle aged men as protagonists. It's lovely and hilarious and I think you'd love it ~
Moon Knight Episode 5 'Asylum' is also a very interesting episode you could analyse! Moon Knight/ Mr. Knight - Marc, Steven and Jake (though they don't really know about Jake yet) - are a DID System and though in my (a singlet's) and the opinion of a lot of Systems who have watched the show the DID aspect is not portrayed accurately (for example, it's not possible for alters to communicate with each other through mirrors), episode 5 is really getting into the trauma and past of the System (ignoring that they use wrong terms like 'I'm just something you made up', 'that's the whole point of you', 'I always thought I was the original' and so on, but in general I'd love to see your analysis and opinion on it!
One thing about the show that makes me have a little more hope, is that the actor of Marc, Steven and Jake at least used the right terminology in the 'Making Of' episode (he was the only one, everyone else used terms like 'personality') and took the DID part actually seriously.
You had me at “no ma’m” lol Love all your reactions 😬😛
I loved your bobo the doll video, and I’d definitely be interested in some more some more content from you about past psychiatric methods and studies
Re: the rainbow on the walls, I can't say I can cite specific examples, but I do have memories of being a kid in the 80s and there being a lot of that type of design around. Rainbows were big for kids then, at least in the US-- it was on clothes, school supplies, a lot of toys, and I remember similar patterns being painted like that inside schools. Maybe they had a different reason for it here, but to me it reminded me a lot of the style in the 80s, anyway.
If you're up for another sci-fi/supernatural show, it'd be really interesting to get your take on Doom Patrol. It deals very heavily with trauma and the process of recovering from it, as well as things like disability. All of the main characters deal with different types of emotional and psychological trauma that manifest in different ways for each of them.
Edit: It also deals with queer characters and experiences. :)
I can’t stop myself from focusing on that rogue hair standing up😂
Half of the comments are recommendations... whatever, I'll add mine anyway: Tuca and Bertie S2E1. Very therapy oriented. Great show overall.
Every time I think i i'm "over" my PTSD, less hypervigilant, no night terrors etc, I realize I can BARELY LEAVE MY HOUSE! And it's back to the drawing board.
You should a reaction video to Vecna/001/Henry Creel.
Literally doing an ambulatory EEG as you said that it was the most useless test known to man haha.
I literally froze and then sighed when you said 'unless you're measuring seizures'. It's monitoring epilepsy progress time 🙃
The graph there was mapping out her psychic powers. Sci-fi stuff. I think powers in the show are related to seizures because they nosebleed when they do it
Your videos are always so interesting. Enjoyed this one immensely. Idk if you're planning on doing more episodes about this season, but I'm curious about your thoughts on the aspect of The Satanic Panic hysteria, paranoia and irrational hatred it caused, resulting in many innocent and falsely accused victims.
My dad tried the "sink or swim" technique on me to teach me how to literally sink or swim. Well I sunk, and it was a miracle he was able to fish me out of the lake He'd also spray cold water in me and my brother's face as a punishment. To this day as a 32 year old man, I cannot get in the shower without my pulse racing. My brother loves to swim and go in the ocean or a lake. Even typing about it has my hands shaking. I don't understand how we had two polar opposite reactions to the same thing, but we did.
My experience with this is similar to your brother's. I wonder why there can be that massively different of a reaction to something like this. My parents taught me how to hold my breath and dive by basically almost drowning me over and over again, putting my head under water until I started struggling, letting me get back up again so that I could barely catch half a breath, then putting me under water again, repeating until I almost passed out. And for some reason, I absolutely loved that?! And nowadays I absolutely love diving!
This was a fascinating breakdown. Thank you for covering so much, very clearly, in a short amount of time.
loved watching your video so much!! literally made my day
In horses, you inject intravenous drugs into the jugular vein. Due to the nature of owning horses and the culture of equine medicine, there are lots of people doing IV injections that are not properly trained to do so. You can imagine the devastating consequences of injecting into the carotid artery by accident (which runs right beneath the jugular vein as you get closer to their head). Even has happened to someone I know.
absolutely love your reactions !!! i’d love to hear your thoughts on will through the seasons, his trauma has been forgotten by basically everyone except his brother 😭 plus him being queer coded as well, i think it’d be interesting!!
You should totally check out Tuca and Bertie, especially since season 3 is premiering on Adult Swim
I've woken up in the hospital with an IV in my neck. I don't know why the IV was placed there instead of my arm. It didn't like having an IV in my neck, but I trust that the emergency room staff made the best decision to keep me alive.
You’re so great to watch man
Even if you have seizures EEGs aren't very helpful unless you have a seizure during one. And if your seizures are non epileptic then they're not very helpful as it rules out epilepsy, sure, but in my experience that just leads to neurologists not really caring and discharging you back to your GP without any help.
That really sucks :(
That's shit. Non-epileptic seizures are still very treatable if given the right diagnosis and right access to that treatment
@@DoctorElliottCarthy I eventually got it but it took two years, two neuroligists and a lot of self advocacy. The neuro psychiatrist I eventually managed to see was wonderful though.
Been trying to get help with this experience for too long
Welcome back doc hope everything is great 🙂👍👍
This was in 79 not 50s or 60s (:
Brenner doesn’t care about the well-being of any and that goes for other doctors too so it’s sadly realistic
Not supernatural, it’s the real natural (: poor El, she was just 7-8 when she got bullied there, 14 when she got bullied at school in California... whenever she’s in school or around others her age that aren’t her friends, she’d get bullied...
Love this though, hope you’ll do more! Have a good one!(:
So when someone with PTSD struggles to remember certain parts of the trauma, is that a form of dissociative amnesia?
You should react to dexter season 1 episode 8, Shrink Wrap. It’s about Dexter, a vigilante serial killer, going to therapy to get close to the therapist because he suspects him of murder.
You should react to Casualty! Series 36 Episode 2 is a good one for mental health!
Lovely to have you back..... Don't know if it's something you would want to do but would love to see you react to a video game.... it's quite old and it's called Alice: Madness Returns. It's a take on Alice in Wonderland but the aftermath. I think it's a very tragic and dark but wonderful story so would be fascinated to get your thoughts over a few parts.
Love your videos!
I must say you are incredibly good looking and I love your way of giving information
My little head canon is that the rainbow is there because they are trying to improve brain function and the color can help to stimulate their brains as opposed to boring white
I love the phrase "head canon"
@@DoctorElliottCarthy it's an established term for many years now in fandom communities! Actually my podcast on the intersection of asexuality & fandom, Aceterpretations, did our 2nd ever episode themed entirely around headcanons including explaining the nuances of the term and what we mean. ;)
@@VioletEmerald this is the thing I love about TH-cam. I post a video jabbering about stuff on Stranger Things, people tune in and then I get to learn stuff from them!
I'm not even in the medical field, but everytime I watch tv and someone injects by poking with all their strength in the neck or arm and pushes the needle all the way through feels cringy 😂
- do they really store meds that they inject in those bottles that you don't really remove the lids, you just stick the needle through the top and extract it? I always thought that looked cool but i have never actually seen a bottle like that.
They do. Covid vaccines are stored in that exact manner. Some laboratory reagents, as well. On the flip side, blood culture bottles, used to test for blood infections, have the same top and fill with blood the same way. Then if they turn up positive the lab tech uses a sort of needle that extracts through the rubber top to drop a single drop for the slide and one or two drops on each plate used to grow whatever bug the patient has so that it can be identified.
@@davidwilds8647 Neato. I had always wondered if it was just something they did on film cause it looks cool.
Hey Dr Elliot, I like your reactions :)
If you like BoJack for its themes of intergenerational trauma and abuse and how it affects adults, you should watch Moral Orel. Its basically the same as Bojack, but its from the perspective of children living in Christian fundamentalist households. It has other themes, like mental illness, neglect, abortion, zealotry, abortion, age regression, dementia and other heavy topics
Some episodes that are good for analysis are:
"Nature, part 1 & 2" These episodes have the dad (Clay) taking his kid (Orel) hunting and it turns very sour and dark. Lots of projection and trauma dumping on the dads part.
"Passing" Shows the dads upbringing and sheds light on his childhood trauma
"Sacrifice" Clay gets drunk at a bar and exhibits the behaviour he learnt as a child
"Numb" Shows what Bloberta was doing at home during her husband/sons hunting trip. (Self harm)
And my personal favourite (Because i relate to it the most out of every episode) "Dumb"; Where the child (Joe) of a dementia ridden old man is being neglected. This episode has themes of absent and neglectful parents, infantilization and the fear of growing up to be like your parents.
Hope you check it out :)
Doesn't EEG also help localize physical brain trauma? I guess that would be more neurology than psychiatry though.
Doctor Elliott I think it would be so cool if you reacted to Esther Coleman for the 2009 Orphan movie x
Also! There's a scene in season 1, episode 6, -5:23 (it counts down the minutes left on Netflix, not how many minutes have passed like youtube) anyway, the scene depicts Eleven being "shocked" (emotionally, not literally) out of her trance by seeing the demigorgon, and it cuts to what I can only guess is an EEG reading, but with only one wave with deep, long peaks and valleys in the reading, after she's screaming and very present mentally. Would you say there's any significance to that? Like.. what the hell were they measuring here? I know the duffer bros said everything you see is significant, and I'm reading way too much into everything because holy shit I MUST KNOW if theres clues eddie will be back (I stg, never got attached to a character so fast 😅.. he reminds me of me and my friends growing up. Can you say trauma bonding over shitty family and abuse? Lol.. shrugs.. it's how we coped and got each other through but we were often seen the way eddie is)
But also, I've seen that a lot of strictly "scientific" scenes they've screwed up, for instance, they put multiple electrodes on eleven but only read one wavelength, or the wireless electrode things... way off base.
Do you think it means something, or is it another issue of "bad sciencing" in Hollywood?
Its Jinx as Judy Garland!
where's the yellow lego man?
I was sectioned for a years as a child and was injected regularly. They always injected into my bum, this was in the uk. It was incredibly traumatising, shoulder seems much more dignified, has this changed recently?
That sounds absolutely awful, I hope you’re okay now, as a child that is such an intensely traumatic event:( I’m sorry you had to go through that, big hugs
@@bisforbebebeth9401 Thanks so much, doing much better now but it's definitely one of those things that never leaves you, I always talk about it so people know the reality of psychiatric wards ❤️
You should do Korra from Avatar: The Legend of Korra. Her PTSD and depression :)
So I have a very cheesy stroke joke. My friend had an issue a while ago (herniated disk or something. It caused his arm to hurt or go numb.) He thought he was having a heart attack and goes to ER. (Like me he has a lot of anxiety issues so the panic attack along with the arm enforced the idea in his head that he was having a heart attack.) They ruled that out of course, and for a while they were floating the idea he may have had a stroke (which he was young so would've been unusual. ) I was with him in the hospital and he was asking the doctor what would've caused the stroke. I said, "the coxswain!". I tell you NO ONE LAUGHED. Nobody gets me.
Are EEGs really that useless in Psychiatry? I know EEGs are sometimes used to help diagnose ADHD in adults, and there seem to be legitimate studies showing it can be useful for that purpose.
It should not be used for that. False positives are going to be the vast majority of positives.
DOI:10.1177/1087054712460087
Actual biological tests in psychiatry are only used to rule out actual biological causes.
I've seen alot of videos where you comment on TV shows and movies. Have you ever seen Supernatural? And if so ever think of doing a reaction or 2? Maybe something about codependency or toxic family environment.
So what is reinforcing wanted behavior through praise and support considered? Still positive? I think they would be right but I'm not sure lol
You should react to some music videos. Suggestions: Breath Me and Alive by Sia, Recovery by James Arthur, Numb Little Bug by ‘Em Beihold, Monster (Under my Bed) by Call me Karinma
Hi are you still gonna react to the rest of Heartstopper?
You should react to tony Stark's (iron man) alchohol addiction.
Can you react to Max? I was quite taken by her story in season 4.
💖
Are repressed memories a real thing?
Doc, please also react to the new BBC show This Is Going To Hurt.
He did
You look really nice
