It's cute how Elliott keeps calling Braugher's character "Holt" even though that's not who he is in this show.

Can we talk about how believable Hugh Laurie's acting was in House?

I love that we got Dr. Mike reacts to the physical side of House while you react to the mental side, because I want to hear both sides of the story.

I love these episodes in House. It feels like it's written for stage in the best ways. Also watching this form of therapy is what made me realize what I want from a therapist because I also have a tendency to be pessimistic about life because it feels more rational than optimism. I need someone I respect who can offer a change in perspective and why I might believe it rationally speaking. I want to be clear, I'm highly emotional and sensitive so I'm not saying "rationality" because I'm less emotional. I have a sort of paranoia that people all think negatively about me specifically and that sadly, people are more likely to do the wrong and selfish thing over the selfless thing. I do believe that humanity has the tremendous capability of doing great good, but sadly most people do the selfish self serving thing and are more likely to react negatively to everything different or new. It feels statistically more accurate to me but I have no actual evidence to back me up. I probably have a moderate to mild undiagnosed personality disorder but most likely it's due to my own mini traumas from my life simply growing up different from everybody else. I kinda relate to House a tiny bit in that regard, it is lonely being different...unfortunately in my case my differentness doesn't make me a savant.

3 causes: 1. a metastasis to the hippocampus, 2. a high grade glioma affecting the limbic pathway, 3. cancer-related cognitive changes secondary to chemo (I have a theme to my answers)

andre did an amazing job at this! this makes me sad 😢

Fun fact: pavlov never used a bell. He used a lot of stimuli including a "tone" but never a bell.

it was me, i reached out about this episode! I've been wanting you to react to it since you started House so I'm super glad you did. RIP Andre Braugher

my guesses for 3 causes of amnesia: psychological trauma, head injury, chemical imbalance? (that last one is a stretch) RIP Andre Braugher; such an amazing actor and human being, gone too soon. ❤

I love your videos because I've always been curious what my therapist thinks about what I say and I love your perspective. Seems like mental health issues are a lot like a muscle knot. Work through it little by little until the pain goes away.

This actually really helped me. I've been in and out of therapy for over a decade but no one ever explained like you did, thank you

Three causes of amnesia (?): - head trauma/injury - traumatic incident (psychological defence mechanism/dissociation) - stroke

Glad you did this episode. Loved it!

[sees Andre Braugher, runs off crying and screaming in Black, trans, & queer]😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🖤🖤🖤 […comes back to watch the video because I love your content🥲]

The first one I thought of was a traumatic brain injury of sorts or amnesia due to dissociation. She‘s a bit young for dementia but delirium stemming from an infection, severe dehydration, drugs or something of sorts could be possible. I‘m not sure if this type of severe amnesia is common with delirium though…

Love your insightful content, thanks for the upload x

That was a great episode & I loved your analysis

My grandfather had dissociative amnesia brought on by "shell shock" when he was in world war 2. He was found in a field in Holland not knowing who he was, looking at his hands thinking they weren't his own. They treated him with electro therapy (he said there was a medical officer that forgot to anaesthetise him on one occasion) and he spent a month in a padded cell before being moved onto a ward. When he got home, his father took him on open-top buses that went all around the city trying to jog his memory and enlisted the help of a local electrician

I really enjoy your videos and your insight

I have a phrenology skull and palmistry hand to ponder and remember what was believed and how things can change without change or changing.

House was MY SHOW before I ever fell in love with B99, I didn't even realize he was in this. So sad he's no longer around. 😭

I would love to see you react to (some of) Tony Soprano’s therapy sessions. Admittedly, it might be hard to choose a specific episode.

Have you seen "the father" it broke me, but i want to know how accurate it is

I’d love to see you react to Mr Robot. The show is incredibly mental health driven and deals with complex dissociative disorders. Along with just being a fantastic show

Rip Andre Braughner. As a teenager watching this show growing up as it aired and many more times since, the first time he appeared in House was the first time I remember seeing him in anything but I know he was in other shows and movies before that. Unfortunately I don’t really like Brooklyn 99 but I’ve seen clips of him in the show and he’s hilarious. My dad was shocked by how dramatic a Brit comedic actor (Hugh Laughrie) could be while still maintaining that smartassed, sarcastic part. Made the show a perfect dramedy

A wise woman once said, the truth will set you free but first it will piss you the hell off.

I love episodes where characters are placed in psychiatric treatment. The last season of LAW & Order CI has a similar set of situations. Your comments give me insights into how my mine works in those contexts.

Hannibal and House videos! We’re being blessed!

Very curious as to how you'd analyse Oliver Queen from Arrow after his 5 years on the island being presumed dead and how he handled his return to society after his rescue. Love your videos! Keep 'em coming!

Two of the best actors I’ve seen.

I would like to see his reaction to something related to Warhammer 40k, but I can't think of anything that from a contemporary perspective wouldn't be pants crappingly insane, and completely disconnected from anything in the same area code as mental health.

"memory" - so i have very poor "procedural" memory, but really good "episodic" memory, creating a funny situation in math class where if you asked me "how do you do this equation" i would draw a blank - but if you asked me "how did the teacher explain this" i could walk through the lecture nearly verbatim by just remembering what she did on the board. when it comes to procedural stuff i usually have to do things copycat like that - remembering in my mind and doing it as i see - until it becomes intuitive, because i CANNOT remember steps to save my life.

Oh man! I hadn't realised he had past! Loved him in this and Nine-Nine T.T

Causes of amnesia: head injury Drugs /booze Does Alzheimer's count?

There's something that I think you can consider reacting to. It's the TV series Elementary (modern Sherlock Holmes in New York). Sherlock, as always, is dealing with addiction and recovery and there are some very powerful episodes where he tries to explain his struggles and to find a way to stay sober long-term. I would be very interested to hear your opinion on these topics. I can point you to specific episodes and/or scenes, if you'd like :)

House's model of phrenology is a direct reference to Sherlock Holmes' habit of delving into the absurdities of humanity to glean insight, as well as a simple understanding of belief that may be relevant at some point to deduction. All data must be considered, no matter how absurd, in order to narrow the probabilities; you can olnly rule out what you know.

Aw Andre Braugher. You are missed.

I have had therapists who chose low lighting in their offices. I do not like it and have asked them to turn more lights on.

Half of these are guesses lol but 1. Traumatic head injury 2. Dissociative episode/fugue state 3. Psychological condition like DID 4. High fever? 5. Bed reaction to meds/substances?

If a psychological trait is intelligence, and we use the size of the skull in mammals to depict brain volume, which is usually a big factor in intelligence, but then it's somewhat applicable. See Orca for example.

Traumatic brain injury, transient global amnesia, intoxication

3 causes of amnesia 1.Physical- physical trauma to the brain or systems connected to the brain effecting its processing. Concussions and injuries that have involved the brain. 2.Biological- this can be by conditions that can cause the brain to become compromised or chemically imbalanced. Dementia, Schizophrenia or medications can cause this. 3.Psychological- This can be experiences in a person life that can cause someone as he said “to dissociate” from reality. This can cause; a long term behaviour change, spontaneous behaviour changes caused by a trigger external or internal, or dissociation just as examples.

3 causes: stroke, traumatic brain injury, seizure(?)

Three causes of amnesia: 1) tramatic brain injury, 2)dissociative fugue, 3)alzheimer's and other dementias.

You should do a reaction to the Black Books episode "Hello Sun". There's a really good example of a therapist using silence and letting patients reach their own conclusions (hugely exaggerated for comedic effect). It also has a good demonstration of spiritual bypassing too

I really relate to Alvie in some aspects, especially in the "flight of ideas" area, and not wanting to take my medication. When i slow down, it makes life more miserable for me. I guess after going through it for so long, it feels more like me than if im slowed down.

Dissociation, head injury, and Korsakoff’s syndrome that’s very advanced also causing retrograde amnesia, but if she doesn’t have anterograde amnesia then that wouldn’t fit…um, depressant, particularly GABAergic drugs

"You're late." "Yes, yes I am." fin.

Ridiculous medical anomalies aside, House is the only past series (besides Hannibal) that I still go back to once in awhile. His character is my all time favorite, and although I'd like to think I've changed quite a bit, I still relate to his worldview and bleak humor so much. Also, I'm pretty sure the phrenology head was meant to be ironic.😆Either that or a terrible prop guy. Andre Braugher could twitch a few facial muscles and tell an entire story on his beautiful face. His character's brief appearance on the series single-handedly (?word?) saved the series from otherwise bad writing in the end. He had a knack for elevating everything he was involved in all the way back to Kojak. We lost him way too soon.

amnesia: hm 1 head trauma, 2) acute emotional trauma 3) dang i can't remember.. haha dumb i know. but now i only have to think of 2! XD great video.

My three guesses are: Malnutrition Traumatic head injury Some form of psychosis (I was mostly guessing with this one 😅)

I’m sorry to say that I use distraction for my conscious mind. It has always worked well for me, as it allows my unconscious to do a good deal of heavy lifting. This usually leads to an epiphany for me. I suppose it’s probably really unorthodox, but it works for someone like me, otherwise I would obsess 😮

0:53 I see a biblically accurate angel. Much like a seraph to be exact.

1.) Head Trauma 2.) Brain cancer 3.) Vitamin deficiency (but I forget which specific one)

You have been reading some fine psychodynamic theory - or does this form a part of modern psychiatric training these days? Fine observations (as always!)

RIP Andre Braugher

I dont know how or why but according to my mother i was born immune to mad cow disease and the bubonic plague..

House is an entertainment show, not a documentary. Any medecine is secondary to the episode's entertainment value. No hospital or MDs operate the way the actors do on House or any other medical-themed series. If any medecine is accurate, it's just pure dumb luck that the writers and the medical advisor to the series have worked in concert. There are lawyers who criticize law enforcement series for the same liberties taken for reasons of drama or comedy. It's increasingly obvious as time goes by that as John Lennon once put it: "Nothing is real."

I was late, it would probably be because of the ADHD. I usually have enough time, but end up pushing everything to the last ten minutes.

Physical trauma, emotional trauma (psychosomatic?), malignancy? (I don’t know I’m no a doc)

Thanks for great content I hope you can use suggestions in the comments: I watched “do it yourself, Mr. Bean” with my kids on new years, (family tradition) and I kept imagining your comments on it. It’s comedy of course, but it obviously depicts someone with severe mental difficulties, and I figured it’d be an interesting topic for a video. Love you, bye!

1. ECT 2. Head Trauma 3. Stroke?

3 causes of amnesia OTT: TBI, drugs, dissociation.

Please check out the FX series “Legion” it has characters from the the Xman universe and centers around a man how is institutionalized for multiple personalities. It’s criminal that it flew under the radar because it’s incredibly amazing all around. It was created by the writer/director Noah Hawley the maker of the fantastic Fargo series Cheers

💖

Wait he died?! Oh that's so sad indeed

Sometimes, I want my therapist to tell me what I should do instead of trying to lead me to the appropriate decision. Sometimes, I just need a second opinion from someone of sound mind.

13:28 - I have a phrenology head in my room for the same reason, yes he was a pathetic racist lol. But it’s there for the irony and an amusing talking piece, I think House mentioned it in an episode, but maybe not.

3 causes: TBI, medication, and Traumatic event 🤷‍♀️

i didnt put it in the comment, but i got 2 right!

DID, head trauma, alzhimers

There’s an episode with a hot sociopath?

Can you please react to greys anatomy?

Linguist here. “Actual English” Dr. Elliott? Come on. You’re better than that. I imagine you were probably teasing a bit though. Regardless, love the channel!

"In actual English." What an obnoxious joke.

Cognitive dissonance: The profession of psychotherapy.

Okay. At 4:20 you just dismissed and passively aggressively shamed non RP, non SSBE English speakers for not pronouncing "process" correctly per your standard. Prescriptivism in linguistics is bad. Full stop. "in actual English" was the tell. Accent shaming is bad. Bad practice. Bad thought. Bad professionalism. Bad mind set. Other English speakers speak differently than you do and that is entirely okay. Value judgement based on accent and pronunciation differences amongst the many beautiful spoken variations of English is unseemly and beneath you. Please stop.

fuck bigotry. even "joking" bigotry. bye.
