The first comment you read really resonated with me. I'm native American and have lived in the UK since I was a young child. I live almost the entierity of my life never thinking about the colour of my skin, when people asked "where are you from originally?" I was happy to tell them. Then I fell in with a group of woke students from Oxford University, I was taught to see racism everywhere. Suddenly when people were showing an interest and wanting to know more about me it was racism. When I went into a pub, I'd notice that I was the only non-white person in the room. If someone didn't like me, whereas before I'd think "well you can't win everyone" now it was because of my skin colour. THAT takes a toll on your mental health. My white wife was accused of "fetishising" my brown skin, when I questioned the dogma I was accused of having "internaslised colonial mindset". I had to get the hell away from those people and get back to living my life not obsessed with the colour of my fucking skin. It's nice to be back to normal.

I really like the hoop dance-I like how various figures resemble actual animals I also love Japanese culture-but turns out that online I can't express my love for other cultures. Everything is racist, everything is xenophobic etc etc. Few years ago I was brainwashed into thinking that wearing kimono is a cultural appropration. Turns out many people in Japan think it's totally okay for foreigners to own and wear traditional Japanese clothing I want to explore the world, make friends but I don't want to be seen as a monster just because I'm white.

@_trash_possum_ oh I'm south rather than North. My grandparents were Quechua. They lived in the Andes herding animals in the mountains. Unfortunately, so much of the culture of their ancestors has been lost to history after the Spanish Inquisition. I remember my grandmother telling me that she would look at the ruins left by Inca and wonder who built them. But there is still a lot of fascinating culture and the nice thing is I find that it's a lot less corrupted by North American identity politics. People are more than happy to share their culture (although probably for a price). Peru has it's problems with racism, the Spanish descendants generally live in the city's and the native descendants live in the mountains and jungles. The people in cities see them as backward peasants. But under a unified Peruvian identity things are slowly getting better. And they achive that by unified identity not by obsessing over differences. People care very little about the things that wokeists say they should.

When Trump, who is supposedly very homophobic (he’s not btw) was president, my life as an openly gay man did not change like everyone said it would. Oddly enough, the most homophobic thing that has been said to me in over a decade came from a trans activist on a dating app that called me a transphobe for not wanting to be with a trans man with a vagina and was using terms like “genital preference” to shame the fact that I’m a biological man attracted to other biological men.

On top of lectures on “social determinants of health,” we have had community diversity panels in which people of different races, sexual orientations, gender identities, and physical disabilities would come in and discuss their negative experiences with healthcare. The panels were simultaneously attempting to say “assume that because of these characteristics, your patient has had a rough life,” as well as “make no assumptions about your patients.” Altogether, between the lectures, panels, and videos from the Diversity Health Series I had to watch, it probably ended up being 50 hours of my “medical training.”

They also don't like to feel helpless. Also, pregnant women and cancer patients need to be very careful with what medicine they take, and if the doctor suspects either of those, they won't perscribe, but they can't diagnose you for cancer without imagining and in Canada that takes a while to get. That being said, oftentimes it can be fixed with exercises or supplements, sometimes dietary changes if allergies are the cause, so no need not to try mild "natural" interventions as they look into it further.

This began with junkies "busting scrips" and a few doctors over-prescribing pain meds (not for cash, of course) then fed bean-counters started keeping a *very* close eye on it. Now doctors are terrified to give patients enough meds to actually help (my daughter is dealing with this now). To make matters worse *someone* opened the borders and flooded our country with fentanyl, but that's a matter for another day.

@@aubreymorgan9763 The thing is that there often isn't anything else they can do. And painkillers, apart from the addiction problem, often don't even really work that well. It'll take the edge of, but it won't solve it. Unfortunately, pain is still to quite a large extent actually a mystery. We can't even do the most basic thing, which would be to measure it. In other words, nobody actually knows how much pain someone is in, including doctors. We know people experience pain differently, but despite all our medical knowledge, the best we can do is ask the patient to rate it on a scale - which doesn't really mean anything because a 10 for one person might mean something completely different to another person.

I’m 20 now; I was friends with a lot of obviously neurodivergent girls in middle school. They are all either they/them or tranž now. I also had to cut them off- because the negativity they constantly bring. Despite me trying my hardest to be helpful and caring- they continued to suck any energy out of me. I was constantly trying to make them feel better or show them the world is worth so much more- that they were worth so much more. Instead I was always greeted with awful behavior and they would constantly be comfortable in their chaos, and they simply didn’t want to change.

The pain one in particular really grates on me. I a 32 yo biological female (white), was in a massive car wreck broke every bone in the right side of my face, broke several vertebrae in my neck and back, jaw wired shut for 4 months. They refused to give me pain meds. They discharged me from the hospital 3 weeks after the accident with NO PAIN MEDS. When I tried to get a script they couldn't find my doc. Two days W/O anything for pain, my husband got his dentist to give him a script for viocoden for a tooth filling before I was ever even able to get my doc on the phone!

Not feeling as though you can ‘adult’. Nearly becoming homeless because of rent arrears. The list goes on. Now, I have taken steps to make things easier for myself through research and reading many books on the subject. And I do not blame every mistake I make on the ADHD. I am accountable for my actions and this condition does not define me.

I've also had severe OCD my whole life, but my parents treated it like a joke (literally, they would watch me having compulsions and laugh it off with, "Oh you're so OCD," but never had the thought to actually get it evaluated), so I didn't actually get diagnosed or treated at all in any capacity until I was in my 20s. The worst part for sure is the obsessions, which for me is highly perfectionistic, which leads to physically and mentally harmful compulsions because if I "mess up," my life, and everyone's lives I'm responsible for, is surely going to end (obviously, logically not true, but that's the obsessive part talking). I would KILL to be "normal." Being diagnosed was both the best and worst thing to happen to me. The best because I finally had an explanation for all the thinking errors and compulsive responses, but also the worst because nobody wants to have a mental illness. It's a battle every single day. Also the whole "I'm organized so I must have OCD" thing bothers me. Because I'm NOT physically organized most of the time, mostly because I'm usually using up most of my energy trying to keep myself afloat and not to get my whole body to not be one giant decomposing, infectious mess from the compulsion to pick.

I’m white, and I’ve had horrible experiences with doctors and getting diagnosed. I was always told I just had IBS or it was in my head, or I should just have a baby and it would go away. I didn’t get diagnosed with Endometriosis until I was 36. This is very common with women. It has nothing to do with skin colour. Especially where women’s health is concerned. Endometriosis is a women’s disease, and I noticed the inclusive language and it angers me so much.

I had no idea my cousin had depression. Never mentioned it to his extended family at least, never made it a personality trait. How did we know he had it? My uncle finding him and then us getting a call explaining what happened. Sadly people who truly suffer end up doing it silently.

Jfc. I'm white. I've had doctors shove me off and ignore what's going on with me, I've had to fight to get help, and had doctors still ignore me and lie about me and what I'm experiencing, so I had to fight harder and set the record straight on numerous occasions with actually good doctors, who then helped me.

Women are apparently way less likely to get treatment, funny how that works huh? I’ve tried to look for it but I haven’t read that much about medical bias based on race. I’ve read a couple of articles (not in well known science magazines) that said something about around 10 to 18% of doctors believing black people have a higher tolerance to pain, which would understandably be an issue but it just doesn’t seem legit. Has anyone found anything on that?

My old ex-best friend also did this, she lied about having every mental disorder and anything that would happen she would blame it on her adhd. Also worth noting she was in the highest set in my school. She would tell me the saddest things (for example her friend committing suicide) and she would have the audacity to smile about it, when i asked her about it, she said you have to "live laugh love through it" As a member of late gen Z i am concerned for what the media and what will happen in the future, great vid btw

7:51 there actually IS a biased, but it has NOTHING to do wirh race. The pushback against rhe opioid epidemic was so intense in the medical field that doctors and nurses have been trained to avoid treating pain as much as they can unless it's absolutely NECESSARY. This leads them to ignore patients, despite the fact that they could still run test and identify the source of rhe pain. I've literally been trying to figure out what is causing my shoulder pain for over a year, they still won't run any exrays or anything. I 100% know something Is wrong, my shoulder blade and back feel all fucked up. I JUST want to know what's causing my pain so I can look to steps to solve it like physical therapy. So yea, there is a legit pain issue going on wirh doctors not helping or addressing snd taking pain seriously...but it's not a discrimination thing, EVERYONE is having problems wirh it right now and it only started after the huge internal pushback against opiods in the medical field. But a BIG problem with all of this is rhe nurses and docs assume "they complain about pain" = "I want pain meds" when it isn't. Modt people just want to know what's causing the pain and if there's a way to fix it, there's SO MANY ways to fix it without pain meds, but because docs have been trained to be extremely wary of people seeking pain meds they profile and luml people into that group when they're not. Especially if you look fine externally they don't GAF. You knkw, despite me nor being able to feel half my back for 6 months due to (what's probably now permenant) nerve damage, I look fine.

@@whenimmanicimgodly4228 Dang. I'm sorry to hear that. Wish I could get you to one of the 2 chiropractors I've used over the years. Which one I go to depends on my insurance but both are fantastic. One of them helped me get my disability approved.

Watching a Misha Petrov video for 32 minutes and 48 seconds is a pretty good way to pass the time for 32 minutes and 48 seconds, wouldn't ya'll agree? 🙂

As someone with BPD it’s very embarrassing to speak about or even seek help for, I never wanted to tell my parents or even my ex who was the main cause because I just KNEW that they would think I was faking it like everyone else, of course online people “record” their mental breakdowns like that’s something normal or the first thing on someone’s mind when that feeling comes up. I hate it here, I love ur content Misha! You and Amala Ekonobi are my absolute favorites, just a breath of fresh air that reaffirms that we aren’t all insane out there.

Thank you Misha for this channel, I want to start my own to talk about this important topics

I can confirm the Ontario Canada comment. I had gone in a few years ago when I was looking for a new doctor (because the one I was seeing was just glossing me over like everything I was struggling with was in my head and not a real thing..) but the one I went to see, she immediately wanted to put me on antidepressants. I didn't take them because I felt her assessment was way to short and she was way too eager to get me on them... I have found alternative ways of managing my stress without medication since then, but I was definitely unnerved at the readiness to get me on them...

Same. I have been dealing with chronic pain and every doctor I have seen reverts to antidepressants. My own family doctor basically told me to come back to her when I’m “ready” for them, after I told her I’m not comfortable with taking them for pain when she didn’t even assess me for any mental disorders…

Yeah they get a kick back from the government and want that money.

Ocd is definitely a form of anxiety. But honestly, people who say they have it bother me because they’ve likely never experienced being a child having a persistent thought that if I didn’t go and shut a light off or if I didn’t shut a door, or did something a certain way when it popped up in my head, my parents would end up dying. Like it was CONSTANT. My anxiety like this was bad as a kid. I still vividly remember lying in my bed, feeling too lazy to shut off the light to sleep, and then a thought popped up in my head that if I didn’t shut off that light, my parents could die. And I would try to ignore it, but it would just get stronger. Thankfully it’s gotten so much better when medicine but I really don’t wanna be on that all my life.

Yeah, my mom and I don't have have that. We just feel the need to straighten stuff out or reorganize a lot. I think that's a "tendency", but maybe you can fact check me on that Can definitely relate not wanting to take medicine for the rest of your life I have to take two pills everyday so I don't have seizures. I hate it, but I hated having seizures way more Maybe one day they can find a cure for us, but for now, medicine is all we got : (

the thing about the autism thing is so real 😢. I got diagnosed at 25yo; n i cant really explain what i have so well or why i get randomly overwhelmed at times and i doesn't help all these ppl making something edgy out of it. Like I get im able to get myself up and go to work and all but I also wish ppl knew how much that takes out of me everyday.

You help keep me sane in these times

I used to cry and feel awful because I was hateful against trans people back when I was trying to be liberal. I didn't understand why I felt so angry. I thought I was sick and wanted to die. The truth was I was right about everything, and when I realized that I felt a whole lot better. I'm not crazy, they are.

I lost a good friend after she went down the mental illness rabbit hole and began using a self diagnosed anxiety disorder as an excuse to be a terrible person. Anytime she was called out she would start bouncing her foot and slapping her knee, telling us that she was just having an anxiety attack and she was trying to redirect her feelings. I finally cut her out of my life when I asked her to watch my puppy while I went out of town for a trip. (The puppy was too young to go to be bordered and she was experienced with dogs.) The day I came back from my trip I called her and asked what time would be good to pick up my dog. She then told me that she couldn’t talk to me about that right now because she had been having a multi-day anxiety episode and she had bonded to the puppy as a grounding tool. That maybe I could have my dog in a week but we should talk about me just giving her the dog. I screamed at her, drove to her house with my husband, forced her to answer the door, and took back my dog. Never spoke to her again.

When I was about 4 my kindergarten teacher suggested I might have autism, so my parents got me tested. Result: no autism 👍 except when the doctor said "he does have some traits that overlap with autism, but so do a lot of people", my mom heard that I have "autistic traits" and for a long time she insisted I was on the spectrum. She sounded almost gleeful sometimes.

@@samaragon6588 I believe you (now) it is just such a saturated place online and in digital spaces currently which I find so disrespectful towards true DID sufferers. There is a video I watched once in which a patient graciously allowed an interview with one of her alters, her little I believe. In describing, it sounds cringey because of these fakers online, but that video instantly made me a believer that DD is truly a real disorder, because there is no faking what I watched. I’m sorry you have to deal with such a confusing and medically obscure disorder. I wish I could remember the video name & the creator because it really is powerful.

I appreciate you. I actually have it kinda minor tho. So it's nothing that people in my life would realize. Only if I tell them. I couldn't imagine having it worse then wat I have tho. Also my little sister is a swiftie so I like ur pfp

I stand by, feel the emotion then let it go ❤ as someone who just disregards all of their feelings but also being lost in marinating in bad memories, this has helped me. I dont let myself feel a negative emotion for no longer than it needs to be felt. I do have ADD, anxiety, depression & Borderline so at times it is harder but training the brain is so helpful. People forget how powerful the brain is. Thoughts & feelings come in go in waves, its figuring out which ones help you grow into a better person and overcoming anything that would disrupt your peace

People are always shocked that I don’t care about labeling myself and that i instead focus on hobbies and things that will make me happy. I am diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety, but it doesn’t have to define me, and that really shocks some people.

Misha, I have diagnosed asperger's syndrome and hearing what you said about people glorifying it is so true. I have this condition and I wish every day I could just be normal. at least People with down syndrome get to be blissful and happy but I'm different and I know that I'm different and I know how it effects me in everyday life. Thank you for discussing this.

Have you noticed people like us who have asperger's act different from people with regular autism? Two of my dearest friends as well as myself are professionally diagnosed with the syndrome and realized this ourselves. It feels like we're just socially awkward and smart (with plenty of stupid moments too), but it's unnoticeable for the most part.

Thanks for dropping facts grl ! Really hope more people speak truth way you do ! Keep it up !

Thank God for you Misha. A voice of reason sorely needed in your generation. Everyone that criticizes my worldview and tells me that I’m “doing life wrong” when you examine THEIR lives they are absolute train wrecks. I’ll happily continue to live and believe just as I am. 😎

I honestly hate it when people invalidate people who have actual struggles. Like, pretending to have issues doesn’t make you cool. The people with issues don’t think it makes you cool. It just makes you an ignorant asshole.

I'm not sure if their behaviors invalidate others' struggle or not. People who medicate their mental issues seem a little defensive about the treatment and maybe less so on the condition itself. Having an food allergy or auto-immune condition is no joke. I think calling them "ignorant" asshole is pointless. Because from their point of view, you're inherently ignorant... The condition of mental kind is a whole other problem. People get upset when politicians talk about mentally ill people after mass shootings. No one can quite tell when someone crossing the line if it's because of either ineffective treatment, side-effects or if it's the underlying condition. What's fakeable is fakeable. The foundation of biomedical model is questionable without finding the cause. And this minimal interpretation of medical model can be harmful too. In any case, they could be at risk. And sometimes they weaponize it.

Doctor: no, i can't diagnose you with autism, because there is nothing wrong with you. Teenager: Fine! I'll do it myself 😤

Psychology doesn’t have a fantastic record with diagnosis, historically: I think we might want to be somewhat doubtful even of formal labels. If you’re using poop to write on walls or spinning plates, no doubt. Object rather than relationship focussed? Meh!

You are so smart Misha, great to see someone applying common sense to their thinking. It is a rare thing these days.

Also, in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy one of the first things you need to understand in order to succeed in the sessions, is that no matter who caused your problems or your trauma (because truly many of us didn’t cause it ourselves), it’s yours to deal with/fix/improve/work on. You need to accept that working on it, is your responsibility. It can be anyone’s fault, but the solution is only yours.

I've suffered depression for almost twenty years now, although not all the time, just for a period every now and then. It's like getting tired of managing life, everything loses it's colour and flavour, and you just want to wait and heal. But instead of embracing it, I've been fighting it every single time, getting better at recovering at first, and the last few years, getting better at not falling into it, too. Resilience is a great human superpower, and resistance is that as well. Keep fighting, keep loving your close ones, keep building yourselves and your environment 💪 PS: when you are in a negative or anxious state, it really helps to tell your brain to stop. I do it via mindfulness, it gets easier to do the more you use it.

I remember during the overturning of Row V Wade, Vice Media did a show on it. The presenter when speaking to Planned Parenthood, referred to women as “birthing people”. Of all things to say that affect women only, and she says that! It was just something else.

Loving your work Misha. I believe mental illness is not caused by wokeness, but wokeness is attracted to mental illness. In my experience almost everybody that claims mental illness is lying. I was diagnosed with bipolar, schizophrenia and just to shame me a little more, anorexia back in the early 90's. I mention these diagnosis only with my doctor, but I realize the irony of me mentioning it now. My point is this, people that have real mental illnesses never mention it, ever. We are ashamed of our failures. We don't like acknowledging them.

Misha doing great work.
