1. Patients are natural feelings
Many videos about border personality disorder indicate symptoms that are daily experiences – such as feeling anxious when people change plans, face mood swings, and fear of giving up people’s behavior.
Another video clip aims to show how depression is manifested in the workplace as a lack of focus, a feeling of fatigue, low levels of energy, loss of appetite and irritation.
“While some” symptoms “overlap with depression, this can be attributed to a group of pain and conflicts,” said Liam Modelin, a treaty and researcher in Kings College in London.
2. Misuse of the therapeutic language
One of the video said that people with bipolar disorder suffer from mood swings because the emotional pendulum is widespread and widespread than most of them. However, this is a misunderstanding, because people suffer from mood changes extending over weeks instead of rapid “mood swings”.
“This is an example of a different mental health diagnosis of the wrong explanation or justification of behavior,” said Dan Bouter, former Minister of Health and NHS health doctor. “This bipolar disorder may find a dependency on his experience in living with stressful mental illness and a serious disease.”
Another common video clip indicates that when someone is about to commit suicide, it becomes almost “two -pole” – “language [that] Professor Reina Dutta, a consultant psychiatrist and professor of psychiatry at King’s College College in London, said it could lead to an increase in the stigma of mental health.
The signs of other abuse of use are constantly apologized; During the small differences; The need for reassurance; Struggle for openness; Being very sensitive to criticism, hiding feelings.
“The behaviors that it describes, although they may be present in abusive dynamics, are not exclusive to abuse and may occur in a variety of other contexts,” said Modelin. “By providing these signs without a sufficient context or a diagnostic difference, the video risk encouraging viewers to self -diagnosis or misconceptional relationships as ill -treatment.”
3. Impact treatments and false claims
This was the most common form of the wrong information contained in the videos.
One of the video he said is cheaper than treatment and had a lower side effects than antidepressants that could enable people to “recover from shock in one hour” and includes writing about painful experiences for 15 minutes without stopping.
“There is no research indicating that this is sufficient for treatment, and certainly not in an hour, and there is a danger of forcing himself independently on this painful mentality without supporting an experienced therapist,” said Amber Johnston, an accredited psychiatrist.
Another clip indicates that crying is a self -sedative and good to treat feelings, including by stimulating the release of cortisol. “The cortisol changes related to crying are complicated and cannot be distilled in this way,” said Amy Darden, a psychologist. “Crying can cry but not always. It can be soothing, but if the person who cries screams it negatively, he does not suffer from this benefit and they may feel sharp shame.”
Many videos included the GLIB quotes that experts view as unhelpful like: “If you do not change, you choose”, while another common quote said: “When you feel that everyone hates you, they sleep. When you feel like you hate everyone, you eat.
“This is a great simplification of how to address complex emotional states,” Dorden said. “It appears to withdraw from behavioral activation in behavioral cognitive therapy, but without any context or individual.”
A specific breathing technique has been upgraded to treat anxiety in another video. “There is no useful international breathing technique in all cases,” said David Okay, the nervous psychiatrist counselor. “If it is implemented incorrectly, exercises can be equivalent to hyperactivity, which can be very unpleasant and worsen anxiety.”
Another video indicates that depression is caused by alcohol, tobacco, msg, caffeine, sugar and water wheat. Modelin said that although lifestyle can contribute, “this frame is excessively simplified and likely to be misleading,” due to the presence of complex interlocking factors, including genetics, neuroscience, psychological and social pressures, childhood adversity, medical conditions and personality patterns.
Other clips boost nutritional supplements including saffron, magnesium glesnat and sacred basil extract to relieve anxiety. Although the psychiatrist Famia Askari said that there are some studies that show some benefits for each other, there is not enough consensus that these people become part of clinical practice – they are also manufacturing supplements, unlike the “natural” claims that appeared.
4. Stories evidence
Two videos recommend acceptance in psychiatry units based on personal experience, including one indicates that someone has improved largely after six days, and another offers a child template to request the acceptance of their parents.
Polater said this was “misleading” and could “create wrong concepts” about the benefits of accepting internal patients. “Acceptance of internal patients can actually lead to the creation and enhancement of the mechanisms of non -adapted confrontation,” he said. “It is also very rare for someone to lead to the mental health hospital the way the video depicts.”
Another video clip depicts a person in a hospital dress in what appears to be a psychiatric wing: “I was very honest with my psychiatrist.” This may be harmful because it “is likely to encourage people to openly and openly with healthcare professionals about their mental health.”
In another clip, a woman gives her strategies to anxiety management, including eating orange in the bathroom. Okay said: “There is no evidence for eating citrus fruits in the bathroom as a way to reduce anxiety, and I would like to worry that this will lead to an increasing vortex of unusual behaviors.”
