    This dude looks like a superheros secret identity
  • @ManMan-ho5gu
    Man he’s really a child, an adolescent, an adult, and a forensic psychiatrist? His parents must be proud.
  • The association with violence is exactly what gives mental health its stigma.
  • @abbyshultz
    I feel like Joker definitely has some symptoms of psychosis-- just not in this scene. But throughout the movie, he has these relationship building scenes with his neighbor, where he believes he's spending time with her. But at the end of the movie we see those scenes again, and see that she was never there with him.

    “I’m a child, adolescent, adult, and forensic psychologist.” First Clip: HORSEMAN
  • @ItsJoKeZ
    Bojack Horseman is a mental health masterpiece that dives within the human brain so well it required animals to release tension
  • @darth0vada
    Girl Interrupted (both the movie and book) was so important to me when I got diagnosed with BPD. It showed me that, no matter how bad I felt at the time, I had a chance to live a normal life again.
  • @Javinkal
    I remember someone commented on Inside out that each parents central emotion might show what kind of thing they're dealing with. like with the dad for example anger rules and he might have anger issues or with the mom sadness rules which might show that she's depressed in a way
  • @mehikaner9554
    5% of the comments: something something mental health 95% of the comments: This guy is ripped wtf
  • @tagarth652
    The fact this guy doesn't have a British accent oddly upsets me
  • @summersmells
    "it's a medication issue" really helps me personally, if i miss my meds and feel dangerously sad but i realize it's because of the medication, I feel better because I know it will pass. What sucks is when the sadness isn't a medication issue :(
  • @MiciousDawn
    When Jack Nicholson walked in to the therapist's office and just went "hi. HAAALP!!" is probably the most relatable moment of my adult life
  • Clark Kent you ain’t foolin me just cause you went back to school and changed your major
  • @OoooshetriesSs
    “Psychosis does NOT equal psychopath”... I couldn’t clap f**king loud enough
  • @slarkaminsky
    If we think of autism as a "sensory processing" disorder instead of a "developmental" disorder, it helps explain the need for routine and consistency. If I constantly felt like how I feel when I'm at an international airport during the holiday season, I'd lose my mind whenever one little thing was out of place too.
  • @mbe67
    Everyone in the comments can’t decide if this guy is Tom Holland, Matt Smith or Clark Kent
  • @Schnipps
    I don't think Joker was saying all mental illness people get violent. It's this man, who has been abused, pushed aside, ignored, and has just had enough and snapped. And we do know why, the movie literally shows us why.
  • I think the most important thing that Lars represents is the importance of community-based therapy. The doctor is bringing together a very broad web of care and support which is crucial for any social deficiency.
