Reckful talks about his Depression with Dr. Kanojia 

Thanks alot man, this talk was great!

Oh wow it’s really him! This was AMAZING, keep going!!

Keep it up dude, you help a lot!

Really great session with reckful, could see he was a changed man in just 2 hours talking with you. I myself dont suffer from any mental health issues but I was moved as well by your rhetoric. Keep up the good work!

RIP Reckful....

This is hard to watch, RIP

Time to go back through this...RIP

He is helping a lot of ppl too while hes helping Byron

Good investment for him lmao

@@EliasOwnage95 He's a Harvard educated psychologist. Even if he became a top streamer he still wouldn't make as much as he could if he put as much time into his trade in other ways.

@@0sba who says he has to choose 1 income?

@@0sba This is a form of him putting time into his trade in other ways. Twitch is an avenue to grow and make money.

dahalofreeek That’s true, you can’t cure depression but you can halt it’s effects on your life. There is still a button in you brain that can be triggered by a certain event occurring.

@@dahalofreeek The probable therapeutists' worst feeling is on that if he caused or contributed towards his suicide when he reinforced him to think all this, because he didn't know him good enough and this was only one theraphy session, so there wasn't any room for interventions with him or other medical professionalist - eventually Reckful as a smart guy, thought himself to death. That's one of the worst feelings when you're touched deeply into someone as a professional, but the blame shouldn't be on the therapeutist at all. Respects for them both!

dahalofreeek If you still think Dr K doesn’t care deeply despite being a professional, I don’t think you’ve been paying attention.

dahalofreeek Dr. K cares more than most. He was making a big deal about xQc's rather minimal problems and even heard Katerino out instead of making fun of and memeing her like TwoMad

@@pokingHali I think what he means is that Dr. K does a good job of not letting the emotional weight of these deaths interfere with what he does. Not that he doesn't care about the people he talks too.

Ray Wonder of course it’s from a toxic edgy nerd with a skull for an icon lol

@@Quaquadaqu True and people actualy care about a Jew who off'd himself? What's new? LOL XD

No hate, but he doesn't deserve to be honored or mentioned. What a bad example to young kids.

@@imqsqs do you understand the pain you have to experience to override your will to live? Regardless of your perception about what his choice means about him as a person, choice and free will is an illusion. We are born as blank slates and our journey is set in motion by all external factors, as in if you went through the same things he did you would have committed suicide as well. What I mean is that his choice to committ suicide does not define or stain his entire life, he was a good person and didnt mean to hurt anyone.

@@imqsqs He might've been depressed for most of his life, but he overshadows it with the successes he's made, the smiles he's brought upon his viewers/to the people around him (other streamers, etc.), and how open he was about his life just like a best friend or a family member. Saying he's a "bad example" to kids is an understatement. Many people would love to disagree with your opinion. His depression was hidden behind a mask, but he did what he could and he made the people around him love his overall personality with his positivity and kindness. Not to say depression is a good thing, but the thing is, you don't know what a person is going through unless you're in their shoes.

haha i saw that too

but twitch chat gets funny at 1:36:43

yes this chat was very entertaining and i just had to stop there to laugh as well when they spammed "breathing exercise" or "this is too hard man just give me some pills"

best comment on youtube

i literally lol'ed

omg nice

Global AoE, probably will be nerfed next patch

@@SoKewlify How about nah?

zoomed out for a second in the middle of the video to write exactly this, this is the best thing I've ever seen on the internet.

Reckful has quite a few ridiculously amazing streams tbh... ironically he is by far one of the best streamers when he’s not obsessively playing some boring ass game

@@dogfood142 Yeah like the one where he met Natalie, one of the GOAT

@@dogfood142 I love reckful playing hearthstone but I also like his personality and real life streams.

Kahoobb yes those streams are ok but they are no way near as food as when he does shit like this - remember when he asked chat to turn their streams and spent hours looking at different peoples places? Actually genius.

Same, this just fucking sucks

I am gonna tell you the truth about Itachi Uchiha

You are the MVP! :D

50mins onwards I was sobbing. That’s when it felt it got really deep and real. I don’t watch reckful and had no idea about his depression and life events. Now I have a huge amount of love for him.

ward

you're dope

4Love

I am stronger from listening to this conversation with the doctor

yeah, fuck man. I dont think many in his situation would be able to this kind of thing live

this guy is Jordan peterson 2.0, dont forget to buy this guys book when it comes and sub to his patreon. You guys are so gullible, LOL.Except this time its with Hinduism instead of Christianity.

>sO bRaVe

@@jessicaban8728 Why does it being "Christian" or "Hindu" disqualify it for you? cause someone is making a living of being the middleman for it?

that is actually a really good fucking idea lmao

@@MrDycole Yeah, like in WoW you have Ben Brode, because he had influence on the community and I think this dude had huge influence on Reckful. Damn..

And 5 year old Reckful too.

That would be so fuckin pog.

im always that random guy PepeLaugh

holy shit XDDD fucking morelo

Jesus fuck I was saying this too, I was like "when did LS go to Harvard?"

Ls has a degree in toxicology

Lmaooo

Seriously though, I didn't play them back to back, but his voice *reaaaally* sounds like LS's.

Same I was even doing the meditation thing, I had to blow my nose too

Same here it made me realize a lot too.

honestly same!!

Does jordan peterson help you too?

it helped me so much too, especially the meditation

True, seeing the process of release happening helps releasing stuff you are dealing with too.

goatstop Who says so?

@Midousuji Akira You need help

Twitch chat reminds me of my 13 year old self

ill assume you're 13 ok doesnt matter maybe

The twitch chat is a collective manifestation of the epitome of an unconscious mind.

Can u guys just grow up.

@@LukasAaronBader-uk6yq i died when they started spaming MAYO😂

good. That means you feel Empathy. So you're probably not a Phsycopath. ;)

So basically all the time

@@MrHogzor am i a psycho then for laughing lmfao???

@@sonagi8437 yes

@@sonagi8437 nah you are just a child that doesn't get it, it's fine when you get older you might pick up empathy

I think he gave him a positive upswing and the down swing was too much to handle. That´s why patients have to go to a psychiatrist regularly. RiP Reckful.

@@pexrinne5144 So true. Mental health is not about a quick fix

@@pexrinne5144 Thats actually true, unfortunately i have depressed cousin and what people dont understand about depression is their state of mind, explanation would be too long but in short, they have very rare moments of happiness and "drive" in general, when they feel it and when they lose it, its like 1000% worse they feel they will never get it again and they fall apart completely, their whole brain chemistry is messed up, God forbid to anyone to deal with that stuff! Mood swings happen on daily basis, non depressed people learn how to deal with them, depressed people have no idea how to regain control and root themselves in the moment, they just focus on the negative and enter into infinite thought loop as my brother described it "the only way to get that out of my head is to take a drill and push it into my temple"

nah he made it worst this shouldve been private, bet reckful was annoyed after this seeing ahole in the chat acting like they know him and telling him to kill himself

Dude yes. I had to choke back tears at work because of this

I had to sold something while listening and said I had to tear up due to the vapeing in my eyes xD

He's a professor at Harvard, what did you expect. They pick out the best of the best.

Animato but mostly Indian 👈🏼✌🏼👳🏾‍♂️

@@animato6441 actually... looks like he learned from Yoga more than he did from harvard. So if anything, his monk-like past should be credited. I am not saying that Harvard didnt had big and positive influence to him, i am just stating what i seen --- that he was too much influeced by yogic teaching

As a psychiatrist I can confirm that the Dr noticed there was a bigger problem. Thats why he asked him you can always ask me anytime

@@DrSardonicus what are you supposed to say or do? even if the gesture doesn't stop someone from killing themselves, it's in our nature to show empathy/concern when there's clearly something wrong, and I don't think that deserves such harsh criticism.

Kiwa Nozukai exactly there’s nothing we can do about it man all we can do is try

@@DrSardonicus For a lot of people someone saying they're there is EXACTLY what they need. Reckful probably needed more but that's not Dr.K's responsibility and it doesn't mean that the offer wasn't appreciated and comforting for Reckful, even if it was just temporary. Nobody here is saying that systemic changes aren't needed, because hopefully we all know they are, so you saying this doesn't help the conversation.

At least he kept his promise and did it months later

Damn.

seeing the lyrics too, "cant prepare for death any more than I already have" fuck me man

same dude

I knew Reck. He was brilliant, INTENSELY loving and caring. He shared millions. He was open about everything. He just couldnt get it right in his head. Wasnt a hatred of any of us, sadly he disliked himself in the end. You actually cant give me a more amazing and loving and intelligent person that decided to jump at the end.

Not every psychiatrist pushes medication that is an overgenelarization, altough I do acknowledge the fact that they have a tendency to put medication first.

Ayurveda comes from india, its common for indian doctors not to push drugs over anything else natural.

I don't know. I would probably trust psychiatrists to know better than others the degree of effectiveness of drugs.

?? Well 1. He can’t prescribe drugs over the internet. And 2. Most psychiatrists practice talk therapy. There are levels of mental health issues, Byron has bipolar (and this isn’t discrediting his issues) but just like physical illness there are levels, and for some people they are pretty much a necessity. But this guy is no where near the only psychiatrist who does talk therapy, the majority do.

11DaltonB Well but aren‘t you talking about psychologists and not psychiatrists. Because, here in europe at least, psychiatrists basically only do prescriptions of medications and psychologists do the therapies. And from my perspective i can only confirm what this indian psychiatrist in this video was saying about western psychiatrists. They basically just fill you up with drugs like ssris etc. It‘s really bad, i swear.

Yeh its sad

I loled so hard at that I was like aww shit chat really? We gotta beat that dead horse?

Don't forget the 11+4's lmao

I laughed so hard

Rip

warrior

chat is a hivemind, who the fuck sits all day on someones stream and send bunch of emojis and simple texts every 5 seconds

Chat's laughter there is self-deprecating. Video games have been a tremendous part of all of our lives and yet we have a culture where we agree video games are objectively worthless. They laugh an uncomfortable, self-bullying laughter because they relate to him. We haven't all tried to kill ourselves over video games but we have all dedicated a massive portion of our lives to video games.

I am careful of laughing in any kind of chat when the ongoing subject is not generally light or funny u never know how the streamer will see it as ..like for a split second they look at the chat and they are personally nervous about it and see a comment go "haha fool"... u never know what state of mind they are in just a little comment even when you didn't mean anything wrong with it might make a huge impact specially when they are vulnerable i am basically worried that i don't make someone feel disrespected

It's a common defense mechanism to laugh when it hurts. 99% of chat are depressed losers so they related more to what Dr. K says than they are comfortable with.

thats exactly what is messed up. Most of us today, especailly post covid, live largely online lives. Yet there is no social opprobrium attached to negative comments on line as in real life.

OSfrog that made me laugh so hard shit was awkward man

DUDE FUCK THAT WAS THE MOST AWKWARD THING IN THE WORLD WTFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was really WTF moment

Gemik what are The odds of seeing u here lol. Im Ferdy if u remember me

very wholesome moments i love it

RIP

I know you mean hope for Reckful but the video can still be watched so personally it gives me hope that his hope to help others struggling through similar situations can realise they can get help from therapy or their peers or maybe just videos like this. I never saw any of Reckful's content but my god do I respect him for his this goal of wanting to help coming from such heartbreak. RIP indeed

joe mcalister Hope for me and for him . Take care of yourself too

For all we know this interaction with Dr. k prolong his life for that extra 6 months. Cherish every hour you have on this earth, lets all be kind and more understanding to people. I think that's all reckful would've wanted

A bunch of mixed reactions to when he started talking about physics.

its a collective

The guy talking about suicide and chat saying pepega and omegalul is amazing isnt it

@@koji2072 i couldnt stop laughing at the chat when he started the quantum physics stuff

@Lolboii Lol it's the language of the gods

Sadly most therapists seek money instead of honestly help people. Most current doctors do that sadly and people lose hope on the mental health care, thats also because those "Doctors" dont open up to new ideas and studies, instead they make do with what was given to them. (which usually does not freakin work, usually most sessions lead to a means to distract one's self from the core of a problem therefore making things worse in the end, especially because people rely on doctors so much and dont do their own personal development when able to). Healthy mentality and how to go about it should be taught in schools early on, not necessarily eastern meditation but simply awareness and stuff like that, those things were once occult (not to be confused with "cult") but now they have been modernized enough to be used normally, oftentimes mental health is equal if not more important than physical bodily health.

This guy is very wise, has helped me a lot. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bVygt45dqtc.html

Glad for you. I'm super depressed too it's pretty bad

No one's that good

@@metalslave94 hahaha

:(

Rip

Thank you

hope you’re doing good now man ❤️

True this guy took his life experiences high level education and instead of just helping a few people every day for profit, he knew he could help a larger amount of people across the world in his free time.

Lmao because the average person is extremely stupid and thinks they know better than someone who was trained at Harvard for several years. Can't really be helped

It's because this guy takes an eastern approach which is completely mindblowing to anyone used to western philosophy and medicine. It's not just that they're stupid, it's that his point of view actively challenges the very pillars that found our view of life.

i dont think he is a shit doctor even if he doesnt seem 100% professional. however there are many shit doctors that studied psychology for years so that is not a very good argument.

@@BReedhomies yea its called dunning krueger syndrome

I don't know if you are serious or not (though I feel like you are), just wanted to say don't downplay your problems, sometimes people think that their problems are not as big as other people are having and end up not seeking help. If you there's something bothering you or not letting you live a more fulfilling life, just talk about it. You can start trying to solve them with family or your best friends, or just go straight to see a psychologist. Because most of the problems rarely solve themselves, especially when it comes to human mind and psychology. And what's worse, problems that are left may grow to much bigger problems in the future. I learned this myself the hard way... So remeber, all problems are important, there are no problems that are too small, the sooner you get started to solve, to treat it, the better will be for you. Sorry for long comment and my bad english. Hope this helps you or someone that will read this. (I was super hesitant to leave this comment, because of thoughts that this is meaningless and no one will read this, but here we go).

@@TheEdenas It's not meaningless. Thanks for this.

@@TheEdenas What if you don't remember them or know them :thinking: well my main problem is a schedule and the system anyways.

@@Tyrvana If you can't identify the problem itself or it's hard to tell what is at fault, then you can try evaluating what are you thinking is causing you to feel bad or is causing other problems, for example: If you think your main problem is your schedule and the system, you can try to pick it up apart. Starting with schedule - you can start with answering questions what it is causing, why is it affecting you and how much and how do you feel because of it? Same with the system. You can even do it while writting, because if there's a lot of things going on your mind, that way it's easier to track your thoughts and sometimes it even helps to come up with solutions or easier to pick it apart when you see it physically written. And other option is that you can go to a psychologist, because they help you to indentify problems, to find out what's underneath them. As I said earlier, no problem is too small, because to see a psychologist you don't need to have a clear or heavy issues, because those issues become bigger and heavier as we leave them or underrate them. Even if after the visit it becomes clear that they are your main problems, then they can give advices, guide you to solving them or even if it make's it a tiniest bit better it's still good, because you are making progress and every bit helps. And if you having doubts about going to psycologist for one or other reason, the best way I can to say is that psychologists not only help to overcome serious issues, but they also help to prevent bigger issues from happening. Sometimes it may be hard to indetify or understand what is causing you to feel one way or another, but there's always a solution and there's always people and specialists that are more than willing to help you. Hope this helps you and if you have more questions I am more than happy to answer them or atleast try to help you in any way!

@@kevinlandrini6799 And thank you. This means a lot to me, it makes me feel a lot better too, knowing that maybe I helped someone, because I know how hard it can be, and it makes my life a lot brighter, when I can hope that my experience may help someone else.

The part where he talks about how other practisions dont tell you how your mind work and how that is wrong hit me Hard and is so true for most people.

isnt that kinda obvious

That is comedy gold right there

dark humor doesnt need to be neccesarily malevolent. In my country we have saying ,,Fun/jokes must exist, even if we dont have money for bread"

Felt the same way. Something about seeing him cry just brings out emotion.

Because it is a very honest moment. Faking tears is easy but bursting out crying like that, that is some powerful stuff.
