Lisa Nowak (Diaper Astronaut Case) | Mental Health & Personality 

The part I found most disturbing is the fact that she was granted full custody of her children.

It would suck to be one of the statistically miniscule number of people who have ever been to outer space, and have that overshadowed by the accomplishment of being a member of the even smaller minority of adult humans who ever drove cross country in a diaper on a revenge quest.

"In March, the prosecutors filed only three charges: Battery, burglary of conveyance with a weapon and attempted kidnapping with intent to inflict bodily harm or terrorize, as oppose to attempted kidnapping with the intent to cause joy or spread peace and love." This made my day!

Spoiler alert. Wear max absorbency garment while listening to this video. Dr. Grande is killing it.

''Kidnapping with the intent to cause joy or spread peace and love'' might actually be how one of my friends acquired her cat!

“Nowak packed a few items that suggested the meeting would not be collegial.” Classic Dr. Grande line.

“Packed a few items that suggested the meeting would not be collegial” 😅

My favorite: "The notable shortage of rest areas in space."

Being remembered as a diaper wearing perpetrator might be a worse punishment than 3 years in prison.

‘’Love is blind and frequently stupid’’-Al Bundy

They did everything short of formally apologizing to her for arresting her.

"Attempted Vehicle Burglary With Battery" Of course you don't forget the battery. How else are you gonna start your stolen vehicle?

Meanwhile people are literally in prison for life for smoking pot too often.

“....suggested the meeting would not be collegial.” 🤣😂 We needed your humor today with the strife in DC. Thank you Dr. Grande.

Vid Title: Lisa Nowak Everyone: Who? Vid Title: "Diaper Astronaut" Everyone: Oh yeah, her LOL

The not so glamorous part of space travel, the lack of toilet rest areas.

“Diaper-wearing is generally an undesirable prefix”😂😂😂 I CANNOT😂😂😂

Dr. G., you are DANGEROUSLY close to 600K! Still amazed at your productivity. The hits just keep on coming!👍

My roommate and I laughed several times at Dr Grande's cheeky humour in this video! Well done!

"No one wants to launch into space, only to remember, that they left their toaster on." = Classic Dr Grande!! Good video. Thank you!!

Just a reminder I'm not diagnosing anyone in this video; only speculating what could be happening in a diaper like this.

I love your detail in rolling down a spaceship window.

" 'Diaper-wearing' is generally an undesirable prefix" - Dr. Todd Grande, 2021

I always look forward to your videos Dr. Grande." Notable shortage of rest areas in space." 😁😁

She divorced and was given.....sole custody of her children?! Seriously?

4:57 "as opposed to attempted kidnapping with intent to cause joy or spread peace and love. two completely different charges." HAHAHA i have NEVER encountered anyone with this type of humor. thank you again Dr. Grande!

At some point, could we have an assessment on mob mentality? There is no particular reason why I am asking.

God I’m such a simp for Dr Grande, his jokes are the funniest

The comercial that aired before this video was for Depends

I remember this story when it came out, I could hardly believe it.

Doctor Grande I love the SASS you've had lately you crack me up LOL! Your voice is so calming sometimes it takes me a second to comprehend what you just said and then I'll just start laughing out loud lol lol!

Thank you for the diversion from the chaos of the day. After watching the news all day, your voice is soothing and comforting. Thank you Dr. Grande!

Never cross a scorned and crazy woman with dedicated pissy-pants.

A rising romance is like rising water, even the experienced can underestimate its power.

..."don't even think about rolling this window down..." his deadpan delivery had me in stitches. You're in fine form today ;-)

It sound like she was treated much more lightly than a man would have in the same circumstances.

You’re my favorite Grande.

Nice to relax, listen to a tale of a diaper wearing madlass with healthy amounts of dr grande's deadpan sarcastic humor, while our country falls into chaos. Thank you, sincerely, for the distraction.

Never been so early🙌🏻 Thankyou for your continued dedication Dr Grande ❤️

Someone asked for this in a comment recently... I had to read up on it afterwards 🤣

“Because of the notable shortage of rest areas in space” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I admire your ability to keep a straight face Dr G!!!

On trial for attempted murder, and she still got full custody!? How?!

Dr. Grande, you are terrific. Love the way you treat your subject very seriously yet manage to throw in a funny or two. Very clever.

Dr. Grande, your wit beamed throughout this one. Thank you ever so much. 😂

Omg, I have been wanting this video ever since my addiction to this channel started!!!

In space, no one can hear you socialize...

You're becoming quite the comedian there doc.

She was just picking her up to do some home improvements😂😂

Dr GRAND-EHHHH!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thank you!! This is the case study I was praying that you would do!!!

I had to actually draw a chart to keep track of this soap opera.

I remember admiring her tenacity and resolve in the matters of the heart. Then I had a couple of therapy sessions. I find her actions disturbing now. I'd also like to take this platform to apologize to boyfriend I had in my 20's............

Doctor is so stable with his channel, despite the crazy times we live in. 🙂

Must say this is the only planned kidnapping I've heard of with the assailant armed with a BB gun

I appreciate the wit and insight you bring to this platform Dr. Grande. I love your humor. 😂 This is one of my favorite channels.

Dr G! Not only are you a great clinician, you take subscriber requests seriously!!!! Thank you for this analysis!

Imagine a world where a husband who was cheating on his wife, and charged with conspiracy to 1st degree murder, get sole access to his three children.

Diaper Astronaut!!😢😢😢😢This case was one of the craziest ever!!!

wow someone literally just requested this Dr. Grande is FAST! Can't wait to see my request on Jimmy Savile.

This comment is entirely unrelated to the video but I had to share that my 3 year old just looked at my phone while I'm watching & said "who's that guy?" 🤣

I am addicted to Dr. Grande's analyses. I find listening to him comforting .

I laugh out loud every time I watch one of Dr G's vids! Love it 🤣!

I'm in agreement with you, Dr.Grande. Those diagnoses were a bit sudden and convenient. I think she was just another graduate from the Jodi Arias "I love you to death " school of romance." Very interesting stuff and no justice certainly wasn't served.

I mean this in the nicest way possible. But I 100% account for at least 20 views of each video because I watch them at the end of the day and end up falling asleep and I rewind it so many times and continue to fall asleep. Love your work!

Thanks for this one, Dr Grande. I was just thinking about this case some weeks ago, but couldn’t remember the astronaut’s name. It was shocking at the time, how someone so intelligent can descend to such depths, driving across the country in diapers so she didn’t need to waste time at restroom stops.

I think it's definitely a home improvement situation. 😆 This was very entertaining. 🥰

Since lockdown “alcohol fuelled and criminally motivated” is my new normal 🍷 😁

The astronaut forgetting that he may have left the toaster on was one of a few great and humerous moments in this video but as always very interesting thanks Dr Grande !

When I find myself having to do a quick 10 second rewind because I thought I misheard something important only to find out it was just Dr. Grande making jokes! Lol geez!

I see Dr Grande is slowly transitioning from a psychological analysis channel to a comedy channel

Of all the diaper cases you could have picked you had to pick the one with the astronaut.😂

Dr Grande. You do have a great, wry, sensor of humor. Another great unfolding. Thank you.

I remember her! The tabloid headlines were insane. My favorite was "The Dark Side of the Loon".

Oh, Doc, that analysis was to die-per

this reminds me of the Right Honourable Julie Payette, Canada’s current governor general (Vice Queen of 🇨🇦 ) - Julie Payette is an astronaut, computer engineer, pilot, academic, musician. - She flew two missions in space ✅ - CBC news reported she abuses her employees at Rideau Hall - Privy Council Office launched an investigation ✅ - «In one four-month period, roughly two dozen people reported abusive conduct by Payette » -« Sources say she is known for dropping what they call "explosions," "tantrums" or "bursts of emotion" on staff» - Newspaper reported that Payette is a deeply private person who is involved in the minutiae of administration✅ - Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent to satisfy Gov. Gen. Julie Payette's need for privacy at Rideau Hall, but she still hasn't moved into her official residence almost three years into her five-year mandate.✅ - $140,000, spent studying and designing a private staircase for her - $117,500 on a gate and series of doors to keep people away from Payette's office - Reports say she is uncomfortable with being in the constant presence of staff, RCMP security and, the public - According to multiple sources, Payette doesn't like maintenance workers in her line of sight - Payette was charged with second degree assault in Maryland, on November 24, 2011 - assaulted ex-husband, Billie Flynn✅ - Not relevant, but, Payette has accidentally struck and killed a pedestrian with her SUV in 2011

I have no idea what this could be about but I'm strapping in for another great video!

I think you should cover anna leikovic, who killed her mother and removed her gut while she was still alive

It sounds like Lisa had every intention of murdering her rival. Her personality evaluations were confusing because the DSM-5 doesn't recognize "Psycho Killer" as a disorder.

“The notable shortage of rest areas in space!” 😂

All of us are destined to wear diapers. Somebody had to say it.

You are so great at being able to make humorous remarks while staying serious and I love the it

“Like going through the drive through, you run into that problem of rolling the windows down....”😂

"Attempted kidnapping with the intent to cause joy or spread peace and love" and, from that on, came the much needed deadpan humor 😅

YAAAAAAASSSSSSS. One of my favorite stories EVER! Where are they now? I'd love to know. Meanwhile, I can't wait to hear your take on this case!

This is the first time I've commented before watching the video. Dr. Grande's dry humour mixed with ANYTHING having a diaper as an element of the story is going to be epic. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the ride. Let's light this candle.

Dr. Grande, can you review the process on how these diagnoses are reached so quickly? You often hear of clinicians working with a patient for months to years before reaching certain conclusions and providing a diagnosis for some of these more nuanced/less prevalent conditions. I know that for some disorders you can run assessments, but if it is that simple, why do we always see such varying diagnoses? Not to mention that new patents often remain more private or augment the reality of what has really happened in their lifetime until a good relationship between the patient and provider is established. And I am sure there must be a lot of malingering, especially when the diagnosis is perceived as having the ability to sway the outcome of a court case. How is this all reconciled (the fact that NASA and the Navy missed these markers comes to mind)? I would love to know your take

Dr. Grande, I find you guilty of causing joy and spreading peace and love! Not to mention causing me to giggle with your sense of humour. :)

This was a perplexing case as emotional and psychological stability would have been paramount in her role as an astronaut. It is another cautionary tale and example that violence in or in relation to romantic relationships transcends socioeconomic status and effects all levels of income, education and occupation. As always, thank you for another interesting analysis and, as an aside, I stand with all those who were shocked and saddened by the events that transpired on Capitol Hill today.

Honestly, I've never thought so hard about astronauts, except maybe they're smart loners. Now I understand a lot of behavior more or try it in the future. Thank you Dr. Grande, it was again something completely different, but surprisingly obvious explained. 😘

Dr. Grande should do stand up comedy 😂! The man kills me!!

Just to be 'that guy' Nowak is a Polish name, in Polish 'W' is pronounced like a 'V' So it's 'Novak'

I do really enjoy your excellent research, analysis and stellar sense of humour. Factual, riveting, engaging and entertaining. Keep doing what your doing. This really seems to be your path.

That’s it! I just went to Patreon and became a subscriber. This was the funniest and instructive video I’ve seen in a long time. I just love your dry humor while educating us on psychology. Thank you for the content! I appreciate you saying she could not have passed the Navy and NASA evaluations. But you’d be surprised.

I will never understand people who think you can kill someone for love. If you are even thinking about crazy things like this, you are not in love and do not deserve the love you are seeking.

"..as opposed to attempted kidnapping with the intent to cause joy or spread peace and love." 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻

Awesome analysis as always. Your end thoughts were especially delightful. I needed a good laugh. 😂 I wonder if Robin Hood would be considered a criminally minded humanitarian? 🤔

I can start my day without my five coffee fix but I could not start my day without you. This is another great one. Keep up the good work and take care.

Exceedingly witty!!! I have played the video twice and can’t stop laughing. 🤣🤣🤣 As for the diapers, no matter how you put it, I don’t think there is a more unappealing way to go after a man. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Loved the video, very interesting and so funny! Thank you Dr.!❤️

This case is so interesting and perplexing. It always concerned me that somehow this "nut" was never flagged during her NASA career.

I read a request from a fan of Dr. Grande's asking him for this one. Aw, this is just another reason to like this dude. Virtual Hug's!!

Dr. Grande, your ability to inspire sudden and extreme incontinence, is particularly noteworthy. 😀
