i definitely agree with you, especially since he has such repeated appearances. my favorite person they interviewed was Richard Speck. him throwing that bird into the fan then delivering the coldest line. "It just wasn't their fucking night."
Man, please do more Mindhunter. There's so much good shit in this show, and the way these characters respond to the people they're interviewing and how they slowly like-- realize that in order to be effective at what they do they have to employ empathy, and that requires a look in the mirror and facing versions of themselves that they'd never EVER indulge, but need to understand. Bill Tench's arc in this show is SO good. I won't spoil it for you, but Mindhunter is one of my favorite-est shows ever.
@@missnandorfrom what I heard the creator wanted to move on and put it on hiatus because it took so long to make each time. More information was dripping out as to why though. Also, now one of the cast members is going to be in Doctor Who
I'm so happy you decided to watch this show. It is really one of the best shows I have ever seen and there is so much to cover. Thank you and hope to see more episode reactions!
I only watched the 1st season and I thought it was an amazing show. They really stayed true to life and the characters and ideas explored were definitely very nuanced. Nice reaction, hope you continue
Great video! really hope you make more reactions to Mindhunter. It's so intresseting to hear an actual psychiatrist talk about it instead of remembering stuff from highschool psych class
I'm so hyped to see a professional react to this series, especially since one of the characters (who also happens to be queer) is a psychologist. It'd be really interesting to hear your thoughts!
Plus, we have Jonathan Groff as the main lead being a openly gay actor not being typecasted for being out (just chosen to portray gay characters)! Huge fan of the production!!
Loved this show and would love so many reactions to it, especially as I don't really know first had how the origins of these forensic works are still in practice today. Shame its on hiatus, but I hope it will come back strong if they decide to
I don't know if you play any video games or if you'd have time to do so for the channel, but I'd really really LOVE to hear your thoughts on the portrayal of Senua in "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice" as she's a character that suffers from psychosis and the game in my opinion does a good job at taking an empathic view of her character and does really well to immerse the player in her world and see and experience the world as she does! If you don't play games or don't have the time to play the entire thing, I am certain there are compilation videos of the cutscenes from the story and stuff like that which could work as reaction material!
I didn't get hung up on technical terms or descriptions of mental health in the context of the show because it's set in the '70s, I figured they were trying to use the terms of the time. I could, of course, be wildly wrong. Love your videos.
I loved this series, great video as always. Hope you keep reacting to Mindhunter. Another one worth coming back to is Ginny and Georgia, just watched the second season and it have a lot to discuss.
The problem with psychosis and violence being associated is a cognitive bias where we only recognize or remember people who are psychotic when they become violent.
Well, when you are schizophrenic, normally people don't see you at all, either. Then if you have a rare person who does fester, then the only reference point they have is the violent act.
I would love to see you cover the rest of this series. I always learn something from all of your react videos, and it's very enlightening. Have you ever thought about reviewing/analyzing "The Patient" with Steve Carell? I feel like that would be very informative.
My mother had severe mental health issues, icluding BPD, depression and also alcohol and psychopharmaca abuse. I can't count all the times thnigs got really bad and we had to intervene. I clearly remember one particular time, when she had (another) car accident while dos (she had such crazy luck that she never had all too serious injuries from these, and never involved another person being injured). My sister and I followed the ambulance to the hospital. My mother did not want to stay (she hated being in psych wards with all her guts and I can partly understand that from her perspective) although it was very necessary to monitor her at least for 48 after the accident. She had lots of bruises, and a bump on her forehead. Nobody knew how exactly she was injured in the crash, and she could not tell. At that point it was the only time that the circumstances to admit her against her will were met. It was my sister who signed the papers for that. When we wanted to eplain to her and say goodbye, she completely snapped, running to my sister, trying to strangle her. I'll never forget the "mad" look in her eyes when she realized and yelled "THAT WAS YOUUUUU!!!!!" at my sister. Two male nurses immediately got hold of her and we just rushed out of the room. Mother was diagnosed with a "psychotic pisode", but released herself by the minute the legal time to hold her againts her will was over. We've seen A LOT with her over the years, but that moment was really terrible. She attemped to strangle me once too. She was once more really drunk and drugged, but wanted to drive somewhere. We sisters obviously would not approuve. So I took the car keas and hid them. In a fit of anger she attacked me. My sister intervened and in the end, mum got her car keys out of our helplessness. It#s likely not surprising that I myself have very severe mental health issues too. We were young adults these times. I was around 16 when mother's mental health started to spiral downhill. It was bad before, but her diagnosis came after divorce. She then got psychopharmaca added to the alcohol, and the stress of maintaining a job made it worse I guess. Sorry for the long comment.
Oh how I have missed you doing stuff like this. I hope you do more of this and more hannibal/red dragon type content. I just adore your channel. I wonder what you would have to say about Yellowjackets as well.
There is still such a difficulty in pushing psychology as real and valid. I know that isn't the focus of this episode, but there are points that are so similar to the view today. "That is all nonsense." "Stop being a headcase" "Stop overthinking, some people are just crazy." I wish we could accept nuance and study more easily to the mainstream.
Can you speak on the fact that people with psychosis/mental disorders are more likely to be subjected to violence than to perpetrate it? Because I feel like people who've had a lifetime of media portrayals of people with mental illnesses being violent hear that and think it's like a platitude or a cover-up. But if it can be connected to something people understand à la "Some people see individuals with mental troubles as being more vulnerable, unable to defend or advocate for themselves", etc. it can make the realities a little bit clearer.
Also it's cases like Nicholas Salvador, what he did was abhorrent but he is also clearly VERY unwell, but was he worthy of wrath? Especially after "justice" was served and he'll be in a psychiatric hospital "indefinitely"
Mainly from you mentioning Hannibal and the fan crossover, but have you thought about reacting to In the Flesh? Basically zombies are an allegory for a few different kinds of minorities and discrimination in the UK and the main character is queer and deals with his death by suicide because of the loss of his boyfriend. The second series focuses a lot more on the political landscape and medicalisation of issues and further discrimination and radicalisation. From what the creator said the third would have gone a lot more into the political side of it all, but since it was cancelled in 2013, it's been talked about coming back through crowdfunding a couple of times and the actors are still interested.
Yes! I second him taking a look at In The Flesh. It's so good! And the allegory used is great. A bit on the nose sometimes but I still think it was really good! I will forever be upset that it didn't get a season 3. 😭
@@AnxietyRat yeah I love it! I was in a little group that had a live message group for when the episodes aired. For a pretty small cult fanbase there are a lot of very creative people too I think by the second series it had fully decided to drop any subtlety 😅 For something coming out in 2013 and what the creator said on twitter, it would have done a pretty good job at predicting the creation far right movements and governments as well.
Maybe change the color of when you’re giving definitions or info to the audience. Like maybe a blue tone or something the red feels like you’re trying to give a warning or something idk it just feels strange.
im really interested to hear your point of view on studies associated with the use of psilocybin on depression, because it changed my life. i know its different for everyone but im really curious to hear your views as i absolutely love your videos!! :)
The serial killer that murdered my best friend's daughter was born evil. I won't relate what he did to her and her body afterwards. He had no history of abuse, was the only child of an aviation millionaire. He acted in his own defense at the trials of his victims. He is serving a life sentence; may he rot in hell.
Good question. The antipsychotics are divided into first generation (or typical) and second generation (or atypical) with each having a slightly different mechanism of action
I wish police had to take this de-escalation training, I’ve had many encounters with police in different countries while working on street performances and they actually often intend to do the opposite so they can get some kind of ticketing opportunity, it’s infuriating and I always keep calm because I’m not about to let a disturbed cop ruin my life but so many people can’t and it escalates and people get hurt, police should not just be trained but also have that training enforced
Anyone interested in gaining skills to deal with people in crisis, get a job in debt collection. I started my psych degree because i realised im really good at handling those situations. There have been so many situations outside of work where those skills ive learnt have come in very handy.
Dr Elliott, I wanted to ask you - with homosexuality and conversion therapy being included in past editions of the DSM, do you ever find yourself questioning what's in the current editions? Do you ever think maybe in the future we won't view mental disorders you diagnose now, as mental disorders?
Great question! I always question our current diagnostic practices. I do think there is enormous value in getting a diagnosis but there are some that I hugely question e.g. the new diagnosis of intermittent explosive disorder and how we continue to overmedicalise the diverse ways grief manifests just to name a couple.
So, coming both from a customer service (helpdesk) background, and as someone with autism, I've found that the biggest source of frustration comes from poorly set expectations. I always make it a point to let my customers (and coworkers) know what to expect, up front. Even if that means telling them about delays or complications, or things that haven't been decided yet, if they know that something is going to take a week, they won't get all bent out of shape at five days of not seeing anything happen. Also, a power that I have, as Tier 4 support, is that I can give my name and contact info to the customer and be their single point of contact. If they know that there's an actual person who is responsible for resolving their issue, and that they can get ahold of that person and get regular updates, they feel more secure. It's all about building a rapport of trust, and about properly setting expectations. I realize that a lot of customer service people do not have these privileges, but when you can provide that level of continuity, it can make all the difference. There's a guy on a related team to mine (my company makes software, and while I am assigned to a single customer, my colleague works directly for the programming team), who is even more accountable than me. Especially on new products or new features, where the product's reputation (and therefore the company's reputation) is on the line, he'll get sent to a customer site, with instructions to stay and work with them until the problem is fully resolved. Unlimited travel account, and full authority to re-task programmers to investigate / write whatever needs fixing. That goes a long way to de-escalating anybody's frustration with tech support. I realize that this isn't quite the same context as talking down someone with a gun and a hostage, but in both cases the key is convincing the person WITH YOUR ACTIONS that you are hearing them, that you are taking their concerns seriously, and that you are trustworthy. If you can do that, it's likely they'll give you the time and space to resolve their problems. If they don't believe you're listening and honestly going to help them... things get out of control.
