I like that this is a relatively small channel with a smaller community, and a smaller comments section. It’s so high quality too. I like that I got here before it explodes, it makes me feel like one of the founding fathers of this community.

Awesome video, thank you so much for the clarity of everything you explained!

Another great video. Thank you dr Syl!

Thank you!!

I could listen to your voice/accent all day! Seriously, I enjoy your videos. You might have explained positive/negative symptoms of psychosis. I know what you mean, but others might not have.

Thanks for the comment Phyllis!

Hey Dr Syl, I'd love to see a video on ADHD. Love your videos, they're very engaging and easy to follow for such content heavy subjects! Thank you.

You have a lovely voice and are excellent at explaining mental illness. Some treatments I didn’t hear you mention were lithium (if I missed it, forgive me) gabapentin, and various magnetic and electric treatments. Can you do a show on TMS, deep brain stimulation, EXT and other physical interventions?

Hello from Brisbane Dr.Syl I am Forensic Psychology Student i find your topics pretty interesting Great channel 👍😊

Hi Dr. Syl! Is it appropriate to take antipsychotics for severe anxiety? I'm quite concerned... 😟Especially tardive dyskinesia frightens me a lot!

Untill the problem is addressed the anxiety will continue

You didn't talk about the negative effects of psychosis. What are those?

Yes a course in that would be interesting

I would like to know if years of rotating shifts and the consequences of sleep deprivation can cause mental illness, with symptoms of extreme anger issues. The mining industry is rife with suicides and is mostly responsible I’m sure for a lot of relationship breakdowns.

Does Piglet have generalized anxiety disorder?

Eating disorders aren't normally considered a mental illness? It would be the behaviors just like any other addiction.

I like, how you sneaked in a little cognition test by having no third group but two fourth groups ;)

Are they listed from best to worst or cringe to slay?

Does saying 1/2 the population has a mental illness sometimes in their lives, not demute the significance of serious chronic mental illnesses? It is a slippery slope. If Jim got over his depressive episode with brief counseling, then Janet should, too. One could easily think Janet should get over chronic bipolar like, Jim did with his illness. I'm not negating Jim. Even short or brief episodes of unipolar depression can become debilitating and chronic. It's not diagnosed as major depression until a second episode. There has to be a way to explain brief single episodes vs. more serious and chronic illnesses. This is true with multiple symptoms and levels of impairment. I doubt half the population has serious mental illness that impacts daily living on a disability level. I do feel for anyone going through anything. Even mild and transient symptoms can have a life changing impact on people. It's hard to determine who will reach full recovery and who won't. The quantity vs. quantity of symptoms is another factor. It tricky. I hope I'm expressing my concerns clearly and compassionately. I have multiple mental health diagnoses and have been in treatment for about +/- 20 years. It's taken a long time to get accurately diagnosed and treated. (I'm still in treatment. )

I'm surprised Personality Disorders wasn't in the top 5.

Personality disorders not illnesses. They are descriptions of patterns of behavior. People get confused because they often are co morbid with an illness, but they are not the illness.

Most simple one is I will take 20 minutes making sure I have everything bed I leave home. Even that most of the time it’s just my phone and wallet

Everything in the US says 1 in 5. NAMI for instance and NIH. I am confused.

Dear Dr Syl, you're awesome but you systematically confuse "inhibition" with "disinhibition".
