This Woman Thinks Parasites Are Growing Under her Skin | Chicago Med 

This is why psychiatry is so important… the brain is so complex that it can create physical symptoms with no organic reason. The delusion seems extremely real to patients and it’s important to educate people that it doesn’t mean you’re crazy. I know this is a fictional situation but dr Charles is amazing as always ❤

the smile of relief after knowing she can talk to someone she can trust

This is one of the reasons why social isolation is so dangerous. It can not only exacerbate existing conditions, it can bring new ones on and you don't have anyone else's input to possibly recognize what's happening.

If you’ve been where she’s at, even the slightest, you’d really know how happy and promising the ending really really is.

Living in her head must be absolutely terrifying. I am so sorry to anyone who is going or went through this.

I will never not rave about Dr Charles. His approach is incredible, he knows when enough is enough, and he will apologise if he mi's steps. Being able to hold yourself accountable as a therapist or mental health professional is the most important thing as your integrity is your best tool. Can't gain people's trust if you can't hold yourself accountable when you've stepped wrong.

I almost shed a tear. Hope everyone gets the help they need.

I really hope all doctors treat people the way dr Charles does! He’s so respectful, so caring. He sat down, looking at them in their eyes in the same level.

It's so nice seeing someone get psychiatric help and appreciating it

It is horrifying what the brain can do to the mind and body. Scary as all hell.

Years ago I was so stressed that I eventually started feeling like I was being choked. All day long I had a severe pressure on my throat, so bad that it hurt and I had trouble breathing. I checked with a few doctors but there was no physical problem. It bothered me for years and eventually faded. Sometimes I still feel it when I'm stressed but it's not that bad anymore. It was all in my head, but I felt it in my body.

This show is awesome, I love how it portrays patients in need of psychological or psychiatric help in a healthy way

I went through this exact same thing for 3 years although mine wasn't psychological but actual mites from pigeons nesting in the ceilings of the building at work. A lab found eggs after doing swobs in my office and around parts of the building close to it and the scientist had bites on her afterwards! Apparently some people are more sensitive, mostly women, to the bites than others and I nearly lost my mind from it. Other colleagues would scratch without realising it and just get mild rashes. Some laugh at you and some don't want you near them because they think you're infested. I would get huge welts and pimples and scarring. Sleep deprivation and constant hyper awareness of where items were placed and what/who they touched became a norm. Cleaning the car, couches, bags, clothes, shoes, shaving hair, multiple scrubbing showers, fumigation, isolation.. I can so relate to this episode. Most expensive and exhausting time of my life feeling your skin, ears and scalp constantly crawling and itching and you can't see what's causing it while everyone's telling you it's in your head because they don't want a lawsuit. Doctors refused to get involved because it was a government institution involved. I eventually left the company because my skin became hypersensitive even to dust mites and after getting rid of and cleaning everything I had no more bites, just like every time I went on leave to clean and be away from the environment. During the pandemic I realised that sanitizer or any rubbing alcohol is the only thing that kills them instantly without fumigation. A late discovery lol but hopefully someone going through mite infestation can use that trick for temporary relief. I now cringe when I see pigeons and bats nesting anywhere!!

I don’t even like medical dramas, I binge these when I’m under the weather or super emotional because I like hearing Dr. Charles’ voice.

Tbf she could have explained the questions on finding where the mites came from like moving, from a partner, family, etc...

I love dr Charles, he reminds me so much of my grandad

I know this is just a show but I was left with a smile on my face cause of the empathy

Parasites are fucking SCARY. My sister had to go to a therapist bc she developed a compulsive disorder. She kept getting pinworms, which are super annoying to get rid of permanently. I remember my mother constantly washing the bedding and towels and freezing our plushies which you couldn't wash, to kill the eggs. And the entire family having to take the pills. But she kept getting the worms, she is just more susceptible I guess. And seeing how frustrated my mom and the rest of the family was getting, she got super scared to get worms again, causing her to obsessively wash her hands until they were so dry the skin was cracking and bleeding. The therapist managed to help her tho, and while she is still scared of getting them, she doesn't constantly obsess over it anymore.

That was some good acting, bravo!!

I thought she was saying "Mice" for half the episode and was wondering why she wasn't sent for psyichiatry sooner lmao

Cases like this always amaze me. Our brain’s our so powerful they can mimic physical illnesses and issues so well that we become this sick and end up in hospital or even in an ICU. I just wish people were less close minded when it comes to the idea their issues could be mental over physical.

That acting was fabulous ❤

This is a very crazy video! I wonder why she didn’t come when she first realised it!

YOO SHES FROM ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK

I love Dr Charles so much

As someone who has a hard time trusting people, I can see the relief in her eyes when she said that she knew Dr. Lavine if I had to change counsellors or psychologist, it would help with my new one new my previous one because then I know that there’s someone I can trust ❤ The relief and Abby’s eyes just brought tears to my eyes❤😢

Doctor Charles is so lovely.

This also could be Mollagens disease. I know someone that has this. Very hard to prove. There is a lot of debate if it is a mental illness or physical. Joni Mitchell has it as well.

I love your video's

How much of it was fuelled by the dermatologist who got paid every time she had an appointment or treatment?

Oh poor girl I hope they can help her

You where things once and then just throw it away? Oh I hate to see the bill on those clothing

I love this actor!! She was in orange is the new black

I love this I need more lol

Is this before or after her prison sentence at Litchfield?

this came out after my birthday

I wish there was more medical professionals like Dr Charles in real life. Dude's a steely eyed missile man.

You can have this when you have clogged bile ducts. You constantly itcy. My grandad had it. Nearly drove him mad.

I get her pain and loneliness, I do... ❤

Poor Women

Being on the spectrum I know the isolation all too well. Those of us who are on it value our alone time because we can control our environment. However, we can isolate ourselves to the point where we no longer want to go out and we flip out if we do. I have learned the signs my body tells me when I need to get out to avoid becoming too isolated. I would love to see a Therapist but right now financially I can't. People often think that by seeing one, that they have something mentally wrong with them and it is so not true.

This is how I felt when I was pregnant with my son. I had the worse case of Cholestasis.

This is kinda scary , but fr fr scary 😅
