Unfortunately, there are many cases in the United States, especially in the 80s, where minors were interrogated without any adult consent and provided with leading questions and false confessions. So that scene with Eleven, is unfortunately accurate.

I was going to let it go, but you kept saying the show was set in the late 70s, but it's set in the 80s. Season 4 is set in 1986, specifically.

This reaction made me think of another scene I’d love to see you analyze, which is a mental asylum in “Dickinson” which showcases how mental illness has been weaponized against women in the past.

This video was really interesting. It must be really difficult trying to treat someone in that kind of setting. I saw pictures of criminal wings of "mental hospitals" while in college. Unfortunately, I can confirm, at least here in the US, many did look like that. In fact, hospitals for the treatment of juvenile offenders often looked like that as well. It's barbaric. Then again, the US system has never really focused on care and reentering society. It's more profitable/easy to send people to prisons or to house them in hospitals indefinitely. Our system is really fucked up.

If you’re a fan of stranger things, I’d love to get your thoughts on Robin’s coming out scene from season 3, especially since the show is set in the 80s when homophobia was still very prevalent, as well as some of the queer coding around Will and whether he really is gay. I was introduced to your channel through your Heartstopper reactions.

Hello.... Is there going to be Henry Creel character analysis?! He's a really great villain and I really need to know what's going on inside his head!!

This season is actually set In 1986. Love the video!

I legit got an advert for Stranger Things 4 before this started! 🤣🤣🤣

But that is in America. Where there are plenty of instances where a kid was never offered a lawyer or notified the parent. 2:10

I'm sure you'll get a million people commenting this, but this season takes place in 1986, not the late 70s. love the video though! great points!

you’re so right about things getting worse before they get better-i did emdr therapy for a few months last year, and after about a month all my trauma responses got super strong. it felt like they were responding to my efforts to dismantle them, and i felt super nauseous and dizzy for like a solid two weeks. it was also really hard to think/remember things during that whole period and i also had pretty bad headaches. that phenomenon is WAY more real than i’d like it to be lmao

I used to receive services at Central Louisiana State Hospital (Originally the Hospital for the Insane of Louisiana founded in 1906). Its a cottage style facility that once housed 3,000+ patients and was also used as a tuberculosis hospital in the early years. I knew none of this when i started going there. But after entering the grounds and kinda being in awe of the heavy beauty of the place (specifically the Rose Cottage) i told my husband it just FELT different. So i researched it and yes, to make a long story longer, the history of mental health facilities is heartbreaking but sometimes these sites can hold a complex allure to them. As a Schizoaffective person myself i try to view the history of these kinds of places with both fear and respect, because if i have been born when my grandmother was that could have been my fate. In regards to Victor singing Ella Fitzgerald to himself, that is so heartbreaking because i cant help but think if he had not been written off by the hospital staff he might have been able to start dealing with what happened LONG before this.

You're so cute and empathetic, I can feel it when I see your videos. This brings me joy and warm chest feelings. I wish you were my psychiatrist :) In fact, u remind me of my ex psychologist, he is very empathetic and emotive. He helped me to feel a lot of stuff I was avoiding. I could be compassionate with myself again. Many hugs from Brazil :) Keep posting please.

Loved the video as always. Btw this season is actually set in about 1986

The mention of Bedlam reminds me of the show Penny Dreadful the first season showed the older harsher outdated modes of treatment on the main character. The 3rd season I think showed a more modern approach to treatments at least from the new psych character they introduced.

YES!! I just finished this episode and was going to ask if you’d cover it! You beat me to it!

I just watched this episode last night and wished you reacted to this and my wish came true this morning!

Yes, I was so hoping you'd do a reaction to this 😊

‘Bloody journalists’ spoken like a man who has seen much 😂

Great reaction! And yes, kids: don't toke and drive. Also: Maya Hawke is a talented actress. I wonder if you could react to the movie *Girl, Interrupted.* It has to do with young women with various disorders (BPD, ASPD, OCD, schizophrenia, etc) and is set in a psychiatric hospital in the late 1960s. It stars Winona Ryder, Angelina Jolie, Brittany Murphy, and Whoopi Goldberg, amongst others.

14:40 I have FND which is a condition very few doctors have a good understanding of. I went to A&E over the summer and it was a fairly quiet day on the ward so the doctor on shift came and sat with me for a while. He told me he did his undergraduate in neuroscience and was autistic he said that he’d developed a fascination with FND over the past year and couldn’t stop reading about it. He gave me some amazing advice he told me how to get doors opened in the NHS because he was realistic about the challenges I would face (this was very shortly after my diagnosis, I was in A&E as I had my first seizure). I was so thankful for his fascination as it really helped me in many ways and it gave me hope after seeing about 10 doctors and medical professionals at that point who made me feel like I was making it all up.

Hey doc! Great video. Whenever I think of ye olde asylums I think of Charenton asylum in France (which was portrayed in that movie about Marquis de Sade starring Geoffrey Rush). I wanted to let you know that at 4:29-4:30 there is a skip in the video where your sentence cuts off (probably a transcoding issue, hopefully not a recording issue). Take care!

Hi! Love your videos as a psych student, I'm here to suggest an idea if you're feeling it! I'd love to see you diagnose the gang from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia with whatever mental illnesses you think they might have (Dennis is the clearest example of this but I think there's a lot to be said about the rest too). I've watched your previous IASIP videos and loved them, I think this would make a cool addition to the collection. I've seen a lot of dissertation on what Dennis suffers from but not much for the others, or at least no consensus, and I'd love to see someone who is actually qualified give their take on the matter. Have a good day!

You so need to do season 2 OMG

Suddenly, Last Summer is a great movie from the 50's starring Elizabeth Taylor and Katharine Hepburn, deals a lot with mental health and asylums of the time. I would love to see your analysis and hear your thoughts on some of the scenes. Love these vids!

Can you please react to Casualty? It's hard to recommend a whole mental health storyline as they usually take place over months but there is one episode, series 36 episode 2 (which is still on iPlayer btw), that would be quite good. It's about one guy Jacob who's in an abusive relationship, and another guy Ethan who is dealing with grieving while being a single dad after his fiancee died on their wedding day (for context, the guy he hallucinates is his dead brother, and, although it's not mentioned in the episode it's kind of relevant to understanding his mindset, he's in the early stage of Huntington's disease). Love your reactions!!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on max and the running up that hill scene. So many metaphors for loss, depression and isolation. Also could you look at the idea that Robyn has ADHD traits. Fascinating to see your videos.

If you're taking suggestions, I think Grey's Anatomy season 6 episode 3 "I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watchin' Me" would be a great episode to react to--one of the plots revolves around a schizophrenic patient

I think you should do a review of "Barry". Hes an ex US Marine, that finds out hes really good at killing, takes a job as a hitman, and over a couple seasons becomes incredibly detached from reality.

I watched the latest episodes yesterday and thought the exact same thing when they interrogated eleven, that she's a child and there should be an adult of some kind present on her behalf

So the timeline for series 4 is 1987, I believe. Also, this is the US, of course, so the law and the way they deal with crimes etc is totally different from the UK!

Hi Doctor, this video reminds me of something I once read. That asylums in the early 20th century and around that time put a heavy emphasis of esthetic architecture when they were built. The theory being that beautiful buildings promoted better mental health. Would you say there was a grain of truth to that? I love architecture and I've also been to more modern mental health wards. The atmosphere of the two environments were very dissimilar (barring of course the awful treatment mental patients were submitted to back then). I feel like competent treatment in a beautiful environment might be more beneficial to patients with mental illnesses. What do you think?

You should review Monk!

19:10 - HOLY CRAP ROBERT ENGLUND IS ON STRANGER THINGS :D

You should definitely do a video on the show Mindhunters

There’s a lot of psych stuff in lethal weapon the series, a lot of ptsd and s**cidal thoughts. It’s really good. I suggest it.

Literally BEGGING you to watch and react to M*A*S*H episode Bless you, Hawkeye (S09E17). You don't need to watch the entire series if you haven't already, it's pretty self explanatory and it's stand-alone episodes. Dunno if the case in itself is that interesting but I'm crushing HARD on the psychiatrist 😩😩🙌 And would love to hear what you think of him!

There's Trinity the Tuck - also the episode was set in 1986 :P

This is a bit of a nitpick, but you said a few times throughout the video, that the show is set in the late 70's, even though it's actually set in the mid-80's

I would love to see you react to "call me by your name". In my opinion it's one of the most beautiful movies ever made

What’s your opinion with regards to opening up a bunch of trauma but also ending the session too early due to time running out? I think that also makes things worse and imo can break a lot of trust between therapist and patient.

Really feels like the solution is not to move physc hospital to general hospitals, but rather move general hospitals to beautiful estates

Yes!

No matter how many degrees.. it's so hard to diagnose. I was misdiagnosed because a drug (baclofen) was not well known. Psychosis.

So, I don't exactly know where to make suggestions, so Ima just put it here. Reacting to Helluva Boss, specifically episode 6 (Truth Seekers) and 7 (Season Finale Part 1), when it comes to Blitz.

You should really react to OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH!!! I think you'll love it!!!

Hey Dr.Elliot I have some questions so I’ve been to therapists, councilors and even to a psychiatrist. I have a severe habit of picking, I’ve had it since I was 5 and yes I know it’s an anxiety habit but I’ve been to so many ppl and they all can’t stop me I just keep doing it. I’m on an anti anxiety med, anti depressant and nerve pain killer (can’t get off of it due to it helping my fibromyalgia.) What do you suggest for my habit?😅 I also have a history of my father being very abusive and sister has very violent outbursts (she has autism and she functions 2-4. She’s 20 years old). I have also neurological symptoms, I hallucinate but not seeing people, not hearing voices but I see black holes, colored dots that look like electricity but I know it’s not real, and I see what look like black dots and what look like spiders. I also have pins, needles, burning sensation through my body. Is this all just a fibromyalgia thing? One last question, I think I have manic depression. Should I be on an anti depressant if I go into hypomania and have mood swings? What do you suggest for this?😅 Thank you so much!

this handsome beard man just said he remembers as far back as the 1600s

Are you going to do a video on Vecna/001?

You could react to Grey's Anatomy: Lexies case of Insomnia!

Set in 1986

Can I request that you do a video on Bo Burnham’s Inside?

Unrelated, I need some advice. Last time I saw my therapist I had a " blank " or " empty " meh kind of feeling arise which usually never happens in therapy. N I didn't rly know what to talk about all of the sudden n didn't feel like talking but was talking perfectly fine n energetic as usual before I suddenly had a drop off. How do I prevent that? Cuz it bugs me whenever that happens in my life. N is it related to my ADHD ?

It would be interesting to see you reaction to Criminal Minds.

the series is set in the 80s

I work in correctionals, and the mental health faculty is very lacking.

While yes there werent a lot of Asylums in england in the traditional sense of the word, there were Magdalen Asylum britain, which had a somewhat of an overlap with traditional. Though considering its history with Ireland I understand why an English content creator would not want to touch that topic with a 6 foot pole.

It’s set in the 80

should react to Mr in-between next so good show

this season is set in the mid 80s

Psychosis is a symptom of Schizophrenia, not a cause.

I don't immediately dismiss supernatural causes for real life things that happen. Like if this same story happened in reality, I would still consider the possibility a demon did it. I have a long history of mental illness though, so whether that has a place in the courts, or how to use it as a legal defense is an ecumenical matter above my head though. Also, bow ties look ridiculous. Especially polkadot ones.

I love the argument that its not that mental illnesses are worse off, its that physical illnesses are just as bad lol

Can you react to love death and robots? It's a tv show

This show is set in 1986 man

To be fair, hypervigalance in Hawkins is probably warranted

The show is all 80s

Would you be reviewing Season 2 of Why Women Kill?

This is set in mid 80's.

My psychiatrist was young and wore bow ties.

that scene is from season 4 which is early 86 not late 70s (: "she got a grade 2 concussion, did you know that?" "no" "she doesn't seem that upset about it, does she?" "no, she doesn't" well first of all mate, she doesn't even know what it means! Neither do most people probably, especially before the internet. And it was 1959, you can't be like "I'm not insane, it was an otherworldly being!" he just thought it was a demon and they thought he's insane and killed them... we now know insanity doesn't exist, it's mental illness or other stuff... fun fact, that "mental asylum" is actually a uni :p completely agreed about the prison thing regarding psychiatry, when you treat them like helpable equal beings, you get treated as an equal too and don't even need all that security stuff... and agreed with all the rest too please do a part two! there's more we'd love to hear your opinion on like robin and will's gayness and such... have a great and safe day, mate!

reaction call me by Your Name 2017 amzing movie thank you

Sir, not to be rude, but you say that you're a fan of the show but you think it's set in the late 70s? I'm not sure how you could have come by that perception given that the 80s throwback theme is this show's whole thing. This particular season is set in 1986.

Hey Doc! Have was wondering if you'd like to this cool project by a creator "The Costume Codex" called "One Scene For Hope" ? I feel like you're uniquely qualified to be coming up with something particularly and scientifically hopeful. Maybe you'd consider contributing?

You’ve spelt asylums wrong in the title just so you know :)

I have quite severe mental health and chronic illness issues, and I am (on average) voluntarily admitted to a psychiatric hospital about twice a year, which is always extremely beneficial for me. If anyone refers to the establishment as anything other than the correct term: psychiatric hospital, I find it deeply uncomfortable. HOWEVER, I do personally refer to it as the looney bin when I'm in there :') No one else can say that, but when we, the patients do it is very funny lmao

“Crack on?”

I genuinely like you…like🥰🤭

Gay. Nature or Nurture?
