how to get to know yourself and maybe get an idea of what kind of help one needs - me! need help but i dont know where or what kind of. was in therapy two times but i dont rly think they helped a bit so i quit at one point.
What about books or shows that portray mental health? I think you did movies before, would be nice to look into more of those. I remember in my abnormal psych class we watched one f,ew over the cuckoos nest and we had to indenting which patient was in the ward for which pshycological behavior and why. Would be fun to play the game with the audience and tell us what you believe the answer to be. Ha e you talked about sex and relationship therapy yet? Also can you elaborate on what industrial psychologist does? It’s an up and coming field and I would like to know more about what they do!
Listening to music that reflects and even exaggerates my emotions helps me externalize them, which makes them more concrete and easier to deal with. Usually I feel relief afterwards. Whereas listening to music that's calm when I'm anxious or happy when I'm not can be exasperating.
Relatable.. I do have anxiety but if anyone ever sees me I will always seem confident and I have a permanent smile on my face and everyone believe that I am the happiest person on the earth... But they do not know what goes down behind the closed doors..
I remember having what I consider to be a "manic" episode when I was a teenager. I remember being bolted out of sleep with an idea to direct a version of The Lorax for my high school. I wrote out the script, revised it, considered costumes, casting, props, thematic imagery, rewrote, reimagined it. I remember the feverish intensity of like a drug rush of ideas pouring out of my brain. It lasted all night long. Then the next day it was like all the energy was gone and the idea seemed kind of dumb. But during it, I felt like Shakespeare.
A girl at my church said, “I’m soo organized, like, if nothing is in its place, I get suuuper upset. Like, I HAVE to have OCD, I know it. I don’t even need it diagnosed, I know for a fact.” I asked her if she ever had to do unnecessary things to put her mind at ease, like open and close a door just because it might not have closed all the way, and she said, “That’s anxiety, OCD is when your super organized.” She said that to a person with severe anxiety, me. I don’t even have OCD, but based off what she said, it’s sounds like she just wants the mental illness excuse when it’s a daily struggle you really do *not* want.
just a note: the self care reward stickers are by an artist named Gemma Correll and they used to be available on her website.:D but she has some new ones now! I have ordered from her before :)
Great video as always! :) I had a seminar about Bipolar Disorder last week and it was emphasized that it is very unrealistic for people to be highly functioning when they are manic (like you pointed out in the video). But unfortunately it is often portrayed this way in films and TV shows. And yesss to the OCD meme! It is so annoying to me that people are throwing around phrases like ''I like my apartment to be tidy, that is my OCD'' and also '' this person is so borderline'' completely out of context. I think there is a lot more education needed to raise awareness what it means to have OCD and BPD.
10:53 I really needed to hear that as an artist who got into a life project and recovered some mental health, i just let things marinate for like 7 years, started it as an unstable manic teen and stopped progressively untill last year, only making microscopic progress, but i don't think I'll leave it. Man, i was so creative and my head was so filled with constant flow of ideas and scenarios and, now im healthier and a little bit more under controll, but im not used to this now, my head is not constantly being bombarded and it feels weird, i feel kinda empty at times. I'll figure it out some day.
The bpd meme ahhhahaha bless...would love to hear your thoughts about how those inflicted should tell folks about personality disorders without having to use overextended pop culture references for their comfort and understanding that only minimize the actual pain and profound hate we have for ourselves???? Having a time and woke up not feeling like a person, desperately needed the relevant lols this morning to test the lie. Thanks doc xoxo
This video was fun. I can relate to many of the memes. The last one, about re-reading the motivational conversation works extremely well for me. Also many a times I end up analyzinging too deeply about something and then end up not feeling the worth to give it a try, and yet i can control it sometimes by thinking, let's take a risk!
You see, music for me is, When im in a deep depression hole and in a very bad mental situation i tend to listen to up beat music, electronic, things that tend to have higher pitch and are a bit more positive And when im fine, stable and apreciate life a bit more i tend to listen to more slow, and low pitch music, like vaporwave or post rock/punk or just plain static at times. Idk why it is but it is, and it helps me find a stability between extremes, maybe unconsciously.
at the 10:30 point there is a great meme that I recognize myself in. At first going to therapy was a little stressful as it has certain stigma attached to it where I live and especially in my profession. After about 6 months on the days I went to see my therapist, I felt so relieved, and so up beat, because finally I could work through the things I am going throug, that I really did not suffer in the same way that day as I did the rest of the week. It makes zero sense to me, other then to me, that day is better just by the fact that the therapy session is going to take place. I think it must be frustrating for therapists at times too, as someone like me who feels their entire body tensing up ready to run or fight at the sound of someone dropping a book on the floor, yet on those days that tension is almost completely gone.. It is hard to explain, and I am not doing a good job at it... sorry for rambling.
I started crying on the one about Is Depression causing me to not want to do anything or is not doing anything causing my depression Because my mom always tells me “you’re depressed because you don’t do anything” And it makes me feel like a lazy, useless waste of space, and a burden.
American horror story season 1 is really interesting in therapy/ psychology. Especially with the character tate langdon. You should react to it at some point
6:44 wow this is exactly what happened with me & it’s exactly how I’ve felt for the past year and a half!!! Is there any further reading on this theory you could direct me to??
Breathing properly DOES help your anxiety that's when the emergency room gives you a brown paper bag to inhale all that CO2 your blowing off too fast. Then a shot of ativan to calm you the heck down.
Totally agree, I always use it as the following though: Fucked-Up Insecure Neurotic Emotional But yours sounds nicer 😅 my version sounds more like I'm making fun of it or as a joke which is initially how I cope with my emotional state since it is idk easier I guess and I hate worrying others. But whenever my therapist or someone I care about asks how I am, I say "I'm fine" and follow it up with that, or if someone says that to me I say that and am like so what's up? Like talk to me, I've been there, felt that, kind of thing. So totally agree with this!
Information and help for lack of asleep is great, but CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OR TALK ABOUT TOO MUCH SLEEP!?!?! It's so hard to stay awake for me, and there's barely any information on it out there!
Will my anxiety/ panic Attacks go away after I give birth? I suddenly got hit randomly by this during my pregnancy... I never had this issue ever in my life.
I’m nowhere near being a therapist, but what would you think of a day with a therapist (prolly the first) just taking time to earn the trust of the patient?
Hai sir. You still not answering my question yet. I was diagnosed as a person with DID. But i'm still confused, what's the different between DID and MPD :(
Thanks for your question! Multiple Personality Disorder is the old name for the problem that is now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder. They're the same problem, one is just an outdated term that we don't use anymore. I hope this helps!
Thanks for your question! I honestly don't know much at all about Indian PhD training in psychology. I recommend reaching out to this organization: www.napsindia.org/.
What do you want me to review next?
The Psych Show my life :’)
how to get to know yourself and maybe get an idea of what kind of help one needs - me!
need help but i dont know where or what kind of. was in therapy two times but i dont rly think they helped a bit so i quit at one point.
Haha...that would be a bit more complicated than reviewing memes.
Hmm...good idea I'm not sure how to make a video about that yet. Let me think about it. Thanks for the feedback!
What about books or shows that portray mental health? I think you did movies before, would be nice to look into more of those. I remember in my abnormal psych class we watched one f,ew over the cuckoos nest and we had to indenting which patient was in the ward for which pshycological behavior and why.

I love the meme about anxiety being perpetually hearing the boss music but never seeing the threat! So easy to explain
AGREED!!! It's such a great explanation!
We need a Dr. Mike x Dr. Mattu collab
Dr. Mike is awesome. Love his stuff!
YAAAASSSSSS
I know right I thought the same thing
Agreed!
now we got it
Listening to music that reflects and even exaggerates my emotions helps me externalize them, which makes them more concrete and easier to deal with. Usually I feel relief afterwards. Whereas listening to music that's calm when I'm anxious or happy when I'm not can be exasperating.
I agree! It makes me feel like I'm purging the emotions.
oh 😲😲🤯 no that's interesting..
Relatable.. I do have anxiety but if anyone ever sees me I will always seem confident and I have a permanent smile on my face and everyone believe that I am the happiest person on the earth... But they do not know what goes down behind the closed doors..
Exactly! Anxiety can so often be invisible to everyone around us.
Most underrated channel on TH-cam 💛 can't wait for your content to explode :)
Awww thanks so much! Really appreciate the love!
Thank you so much for talking about OCD. I go to therapy for it and there are so many misunderstandings about it so thank you!
OMG IS THAT A COOKIE CAT TSHIRT FROM STEVEN UNIVERSE?! Could you maybe talk about positive mental health role models in TV?
I remember having what I consider to be a "manic" episode when I was a teenager. I remember being bolted out of sleep with an idea to direct a version of The Lorax for my high school. I wrote out the script, revised it, considered costumes, casting, props, thematic imagery, rewrote, reimagined it.

Then the next day it was like all the energy was gone and the idea seemed kind of dumb. But during it, I felt like Shakespeare.
What kind of lamp is that in the background? Literally has distracted me the whole time and I love it
Got it from Urban Outfitters back in...2013 I think.
A girl at my church said, “I’m soo organized, like, if nothing is in its place, I get suuuper upset. Like, I HAVE to have OCD, I know it. I don’t even need it diagnosed, I know for a fact.”
I asked her if she ever had to do unnecessary things to put her mind at ease, like open and close a door just because it might not have closed all the way, and she said, “That’s anxiety, OCD is when your super organized.”
She said that to a person with severe anxiety, me. I don’t even have OCD, but based off what she said, it’s sounds like she just wants the mental illness excuse when it’s a daily struggle you really do *not* want.
MEME👏
REVIEW👏
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I want your lamp.
That "best work while manic" myth is a pernicious one. Encourages people to engage in poor self-care, and the results aren't even good.
Agreed! Much better to pursue creativity and balance your mental health.
That's the same T-shirt as last time! I love that little detail!❤
First meme, about sleep. It's 5:38 in the morning. I have no clue why I kept myself up watching TH-cam.
Robert Brookes I am having the same issue... ten years of hell. Ugh. I hope it’s not long term for you
just a note: the self care reward stickers are by an artist named Gemma Correll and they used to be available on her website.:D but she has some new ones now! I have ordered from her before :)
I love the shirt you are wearing! 🔥
COOKIE CAT!
I love Steven Universe. My best friend introduced me to it.
Great video as always! :) I had a seminar about Bipolar Disorder last week and it was emphasized that it is very unrealistic for people to be highly functioning when they are manic (like you pointed out in the video). But unfortunately it is often portrayed this way in films and TV shows.

this made me laugh too hard!! i needed it. thank you, Dr. Mattu! ✨
The anxiety one at the beginning is so true. I had to explain to someone what pinging was just to clarify they knew
The bpd meme ahhhahaha bless...would love to hear your thoughts about how those inflicted should tell folks about personality disorders without having to use overextended pop culture references for their comfort and understanding that only minimize the actual pain and profound hate we have for ourselves????

Omg, that going to bed early meme is me. Especially the last two weeks. I hate being alone with my thoughts.
please keep these coming! i love how i know more about psychology while also laughing at the memes to blow some stress off!
These videos make my day! Fun memes and mental health rock
Glad to bring a little extra joy to your day!
This video was fun. I can relate to many of the memes. The last one, about re-reading the motivational conversation works extremely well for me. Also many a times I end up analyzinging too deeply about something and then end up not feeling the worth to give it a try, and yet i can control it sometimes by thinking, let's take a risk!
The Tuvok meme is me
Yay the old man anxiety meme is my favorite!
SO GOOD!
Hey Dr Ali I would love to see a day in a life of a clinical psychologist vlog type
You see, music for me is,
When im in a deep depression hole and in a very bad mental situation i tend to listen to up beat music, electronic, things that tend to have higher pitch and are a bit more positive
And when im fine, stable and apreciate life a bit more i tend to listen to more slow, and low pitch music, like vaporwave or post rock/punk or just plain static at times.

Because my mom always tells me “you’re depressed because you don’t do anything”
And it makes me feel like a lazy, useless waste of space, and a burden.
That's a shame.
She doesmt understand and isn't empathising..which in turn hurts you more.
Not good.
American horror story season 1 is really interesting in therapy/ psychology. Especially with the character tate langdon. You should react to it at some point
I think Catra from the new She-Ra cartoon is a great representation of BPD :)
6:44 wow this is exactly what happened with me & it’s exactly how I’ve felt for the past year and a half!!! Is there any further reading on this theory you could direct me to??
Careful for serotonin syndrome with the over the counter medications
Breathing properly DOES help your anxiety that's when the emergency room gives you a brown paper bag to inhale all that CO2 your blowing off too fast. Then a shot of ativan to calm you the heck down.
Most people say sleep is like defragging a drive... he says it's like flushing a toilet! I guess most peoples mind is full of crap.
It's not necessarily a meme but it should be.
I'm FINE
Frustrated
Insecure
Nervous
Emotional
Sometimes we try to cover-up what we really feel.
Totally agree, I always use it as the following though:
Fucked-Up
Insecure
Neurotic
Emotional
But yours sounds nicer 😅 my version sounds more like I'm making fun of it or as a joke which is initially how I cope with my emotional state since it is idk easier I guess and I hate worrying others. But whenever my therapist or someone I care about asks how I am, I say "I'm fine" and follow it up with that, or if someone says that to me I say that and am like so what's up?

Listening to 'happy' music makes me fell worse
4:39 Had me in the first half
Information and help for lack of asleep is great, but CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OR TALK ABOUT TOO MUCH SLEEP!?!?! It's so hard to stay awake for me, and there's barely any information on it out there!
woaww....... where do u find these?? 😲🤯
When you said you love Star Trek voyager 😍 lol 😆
🖖🏽
This was great!
Will my anxiety/ panic Attacks go away after I give birth? I suddenly got hit randomly by this during my pregnancy... I never had this issue ever in my life.
I listen to lim bizkit when I’m sad
Will David Sylvian, The Durutti Column, and Kate Bush make me more depressed? Definitely not emo music
I’m nowhere near being a therapist, but what would you think of a day with a therapist (prolly the first) just taking time to earn the trust of the patient?
That is actually called session 1 in the official handbook of therapy
I want a bacon biscuit
Hai sir. You still not answering my question yet.
I was diagnosed as a person with DID.
But i'm still confused, what's the different between DID and MPD :(
Thanks for your question! Multiple Personality Disorder is the old name for the problem that is now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder. They're the same problem, one is just an outdated term that we don't use anymore. I hope this helps!
The Psych Show sir, so thank you for your answer. I'm glad that i could hear your voice as a psychologist. Hope we could meet sometime

Two of my favorite things: medicine and memes
Your Steven universe shirt is so distracting. Damn I wish you where my therapist
COOKIE CAAAAAAAT!!!
FIRST
🙌
Tbh I feel more sad listening to upbeat generic radio music. Not saying I listen to depressing songs, but metal isn't necessarily upbeat happy music.
