Idk why I feel like this if Hannibal Lector was real his rival would be this guy

in SPLIT he is a super powered human so he is stronger as the beast. That being said, someone with that disorder is scary for a super powered person

They got the most psychiatric looking psychiatrist to ever grace a psychiatrist video talking about psychotic psychos. This guy could break down your personality traits, brew you a cup of tea, bench press a Buick, and possibly also have bodies buried under his house and we'd never know it. 😂

for a guy with rather pointy ears… that was an oddly specific part of the body, and its shape to use as an example

Great video! Small piece of sartorial advice, if you undo the bottom button on that waistcoat it won't fold up around the chest.

‘Grabbing a grenade launcher is certainly a sign of aggression.’
I’d say so, yeah 😆
This doctor is great but that’s one I actually could figure out on my own lol

Sleep deprivation is unethical… And considered a form of torture… And yet…. Staring into the void as a new first time parent.😅

One point that really bothers me about how hallucinations are portrayed in films is that characters have coherent conversations with the people they hallucinate. That doesn’t happen. You can have visual and auditory hallucinations but they won’t be coherent with each other, and you cannot have conversations with them for sure.

The isolation stuff reminds me of Steven Russel, a con artist who is currently being held in solitary confinement for 27 years. He was granted parole July 11th 2024, and while I do think he deserves to be in prison for his crimes (scamming, fraud, impersonating an fbi agent, and escaping prison twice) nobody deserves his sentence.

No, doc, people with DID can and do switch rapidly. We had to, faced with an abuser. If it took too long there would be no benefit. You'd still experience the traumatic event.
