Delusional Jealousy | Dr Syl's Analysis 

That’s such a kind comment - thank you for sharing!

Agreed is a fantastic dr.

Was he asked to give out examples? Not everyone feels like telling the details if you haven't asked about them specifically.

​@@HigoIndico Maybe but it's still odd to me that he goes into the amount of detail he does but still doesn't say anything specific really. All the details he gives are poetic summations of the situation. It just strikes me as off that someone who wants custody of his kids and almost killed himself over this would play down what he thinks been done to him. Not that people are always logical.

Yeah - that's exactly how it is. I'm a pathological liar and constant cheater now, even though I'm the only one in my relationship who hasn't cheated and always talked about how important honesty was. I've always told him when I did something he wouldn't care for. But nope, now I lie constantly. Just decided so one day, haha. It's really great. So cool.

​@@HigoIndicooh, that doesn't matter. From personal experience, the answer would be something completely mundane, even normal in their relationship, that he suddenly decided was a sign. If he told the person interviewing him what the signs were, they would be baffled by the response. One time I scratched my nose and my husband said I was hiding my mouth so I could secretly talk to someone. No phone in sight, mind you. I also had to stop singing to my infant because he said I was singing to hide the conversation I was having. So, fear ruined that once in my lifetime experience for me. Psychosis and Delusions have no real weight most times.

@@ericapierson-way213 When deciding if someone's delusional or not, it does matter. If one person has decided that a person seems delusional, due to not questioning them deep enough, then the next one analysing the person has their bias set up and just assumes every word coming out of patients mouth is because they're delusional. That's how misdiagnosis happen and other problems that patient may have, aren't recognised. And there's nothing cool about lying.

You are lucky to live in a culture that does not over-diagnose mental illness. This interview did not give enough information about his 'delusion', Dr.Syl seemed more delusional and had a very biased interpretation of the interview. The patient's delusion' started when the wife and the kids left him alone and went on vacation, we do not know how often his wife goes on vacations without him, and we do not know the excuse. We also do not know the jokes that made him question the relations; the wife accidentally brings a male underwater from those vacations and when the husbands notice she brash it off with a joke. The husband might have reasonable concerns about the relationship and reasonably does not want to lose his kids.

I Hate That. My Opinion Is Even If The Patient Has Gone Through Psychotic Episodes, Even If They're Schizophrenic; Believe Them Until You Can Run The Proper Diagnostics Necessary To Rule Out Whatever They Say/Believe To Be Happening-Then From There Determine If There Is Another Factor & When All Is Said & Done; If Mental Illness Does Seem To Be The Answer; The Doctors/Hospital Should Be Responsible For Calling In A Mobile Crisis Team To Better Assess The Patient Before Determining The Next Route To Take. So Sorry You Have To Go Through That. I've Also Had/Continually Have The Same Experience. Sept. 29th 2018 I Got Robbed At 3 In The Morning. Two Guys Came Up Behind Me Trying To Steal My "Friends" Phone I Had Been Using. After Blows To All Over My Body & A Long Struggle, I Still Wouldn't Let Go Of The Phone & One Of The Guys Headbutted Me In The Face, Twisted My Arm & Stole My Bag With $1,300 Worth Of My Most Valued/Sentimental/Personal Belongings. The Other Guy Had Already Ran To Their Car To Turn It On & The Dude With My Bag Ran To The Car & I Ran After Him. He Got Into The Car & I Had Caught Up Right Behind The Car Just As It Was About To Accelerate. Out Of Feeling Defeated, Crushed, Upset & Not Being Mindful Of The Outcomes; I Had In My One Hand A Lighter & I Had Swung At The Back Windshield Of The Car, Basically Utilizing The Lighter As A Fist Pack. The Glass Immediately Shattered Like A Spiderweb From Where I Had Hit It-Outwards; Then POP & It Imploded. I Was Literally Right In Front Of It. I Shouted An Explitive Before Quickly Turning Around....Long Story Long, I Then Began Rejecting Glass Out Of Every Single Place In My Body, Some Areas Taking Longer To Begin Rejecting Than Others. Around 10 Months In; I Began Rejecting It From My Gumline (Likely Due To Shouting Said Explitive) & Unintentionally Swallowing It, Resulting In 3 Major Infections In My Trachea, Larynx & Some Other Part Of My Esophagus, Multiple Pulmonary Embolisms & My Appendix Being Removed. I Have Severe Nerve Damage All Over My Body From The Glass Rejecting Out Of My Skin & Damaging The Nerves In My Body. After Going To 9 Different Doctors & Them Just Straight Up Dismissing Me Without Even Running Any Radiology Whatsoever, After Going To My Primary Doctor & Him Screaming At Me, Saying I Need To Change My Lifestyle (Insinuating I Was Experiencing Drug-Induced Psychosis) & 86ing Me, Telling Me He Would Blacklist Me From Any Adjacent Facilities Because Upon Him Saying I Needed To Change My Lifestyle; I Began Crying Hysterically Because I Feel Like It's So Hard For Me To Reach Out For Help & Prior To This Happening; I Was Finally At A Point In My Life Where I WANTED To Live, I Was Excited For Life...He Said I Was "Too Emotional"...I Can't Even Bring Myself To Keep Trying To Find Help. It All Felt Like I Wasn't Worthy Of Saving, Wasn't Worthy Of Validation, Wasn't Worthy Of Not Having Immensely Severe, Excruciating Pain To The Point Of Suicxdal Ideation; Wasn't Worthy Of Receiving Any Sort Of Treatment Or Any Remedy & Was Essentially Forced To Self-Medicate With Opium So I Can Actually Live A Productive Life Where I'm Not Constantly Bed-Ridden, Crying In Pain & Miserable, To The Point Where Offing Myself Would Be The ONLY Other Way Out. I Can't Even Work A Scheduled Job Because It's The Curse That Keeps Cursing In That I Constantly Have New Health Issues/Medical Emergencies Etc. That I Can't Navigate Accommodations For Or Exactly Plan Around When I'm Going To Be In A State Where I'm Unable To Properly Function/Work With The Utmost Efficiency. All Of It Is Honestly Heartbreaking. Bc I Can't Even Get On Disability Bc...Well...If A Doctor Doesn't Validate It, It Must Not Exist. I Still Constantly Have Glass Rejecting Out Of My Body. For About 5 Months I Kept Believing Everyone That It Would All Come Out Soon Until I Read A Blog Post _(Vera's Log Glass In Skin Warning Gross)_ & Seeing All Of The Other People Who Have Gone Through Similar Situations & How Long They Have Been Rejecting Glass From Their Bodies. I'd Suggest You Google That Cuz It Is Honestly Pretty Wild & Pretty Damn Sad How Many Who Have Had Nearly Identical Experiences When Trying To Find Any Solution/Remedy To A Problem Few Ever Have To Face, Rarely Anyone Can Ever Truly Fully Empathize With & Is Detrimental To Overall Quality Of Life & Emotional/Physical/Mental Well-Being. It Honestly Changed Me As A Person Entirely. I Don't Have The Same Sense Of Humor Anymore. I Can Hardly Do Things I Used To Be Passionate About Doing. I Can No Longer Have A Job In My Chosen Career Field & Can No Longer Decorate My Temple As I Once Did, Bc The Glass Will Come Out Of Any Already-Opened Wound Before It Creates A New Flesh Tunnel, Meaning It Comes Out Through Any Piercing Hole, Over Any Tattoos, Etc. It Is Depressing Beyond Belief.

Hi this is happening to my husband right know.

I like this question, so I'm only commenting to see if anyone has an answer to this.

Sometimes, Sometimes there can also be a series of events that a person without mental illness would think is normal but a person with abnormal behaviours or is psychotic may have aberrant salience which is where they may have a string of delusions with a pattern being recognised or an idea they truly believe from something that doesn't mean anything. Everyone is different so one person might just 'realise' something while someone else might closely follow events or things happening and see them as a pattern for something like being hunted down or followed etc

@@daisyasbury9593 What do you mean with "abnormal behaviors" in this case? If the person is psychotic, then the delusion has already started and those patterns are there afterwards and it doesn't start the delusion. If someone is closely following events and seeing them as patterns for something like being followed, hasn't that delusion started already when they started to follow those events? Or do you just mean, that some people remember every aspect of the things that happened more carefully and have more analytical mind where they store information with more detail?

@@HigoIndico So I say abnormal behaviours just as an umbrella term as some people can experience pyschotic symptoms or delusion without a diagnosis. I'm not sure I quite follow what you mean, so are you saying psychotic symptoms will come first, then a delusion? Many people are different. For different people what comes first will be different for each case. I don't know if you've ever experienced someone who's in psychosis but they can very quickly hold delusions. Like if you tell them to grab a red cup out of the cuboard and they're suspicious as to why and they can be quite reactive and may believe there is a reason for that, like I've poisoned the cup. Or some people may keep that in mind and almost keep a list of things I've done which will (in their mind) reinforce their ideas of what I'm doing (delusion)

If he was tweaked out then that sadly makes so much sense. It doesn’t make it right, but it explains a lot. I hope the best in your family’s recovery from something so traumatic. Please take care.

@@misstekhead thank you

Hi I’m sorry to hear that. This just happend to my dear husband of 13 years. It’s for 2 months right know. He left us just like that with the saying you cheated on me

Nice. I was focused on the plant on the left-hand side of the screen. It has really nice leaves 🪴. I am Autistic though, so watching faces can feel intense.

I wonder the same if alcoholism or substance abuse has deteriorated his thinking. I know someone developed weird obsessions and delusions due to his long-term alcohol and drug use.

Note the fact he is not bringing any concretes exemples to back up his thoughts about her wife being unfaithful. This is a very weird way in itself to describe the situation.

@@necrodefecator He didn't bring up specifics but he did bring up types of cues he was getting from his wife, for example the fact that she didn't want to have sex because she was afraid to have more children. This wasn't so long ago that birth control didn't exist.

I agree. Also, he said she kept laughing at him - disrespecting him. That was not nothing. I have also realised sometime after the start of being with someone that he was abusive, but not for a year or more, because of cognitive dissonance. My mind convinced me it was normal. I remembered conversations and actions with hindsight and wrote them all down to help me not go back to him.

@@tinypixiekitten7806 I'll be as nice as I could here, but that's why you're in the comment section of this RU-vid channel and not the shrink who is interpreting the footage here. You don't have the tools to interprete the situation beside your own bad experiences with abuse and gaslighting, which I 'm sorry for, but it is not a good starting point to evaluate somebody mentally, probably the worst starting point actually. This guy presents himself as the victim but you have no idea on what kind of situations he brought his wife and kids to begin with, we have his side of the story only.

And we have info that he sent letters to his wife anonymously. Can you imagine being the wife finding out your husband is trying to catch you cheating by sending you anonymous letters asking you to cheat? that is not how you find out if your wife is cheating on you with other people. She seemed alarmed to be getting anonymous letters asking her for an affair? yeah, that would freak a person who isn't having an affair out. Also, @Necrodefecator, you are also in the youtube comments section where nobody here has their college degrees and full life experience in every single comment that they make, but sure assume you're talking to an ignorant person and make sure they know it with your words that you are intellectually superior and have the right of the situation which neither of you have the full information on. You look real super like you like to be superior to others and you're doing a good job. Point, When does a person experiencing delusions USUALLY end up in front of a doctor? Not usually voluntarily. If his wife was just cheating on him and a hospital, the police and this psychiatrist were involved, do you think that they might have figured that out instead of labeling a man delusional?
