psychiatry was the obvious thing. that was my intention from the first day. i was lucky because it was probably the easiest branch of medicine for me to do once i was hurt. >> hurt. that doesn't begin to describe it. when did you realize the accident was life altering? >> the second it happened. >> after the break. okay, call me crazy, but i like it when my hygienist lets me know i'm doing a good job. i like it when my toothpaste lets me know too. that's why i went pro. go pro with crest pro-health. it's specially formulated for an intensive clean. it's great. i can really feel it deep cleaning my mouth. for a clean that's 4x better, try these crest pro-health products together. my hygienist is going to love this. crest pro-health protects all these areas dentists check most. go pro, with crest pro-health i knew i was going to nail it. yep, i did! i take prilosec otc each morning for my frequent heartburn. because it gives me... zero heartburn! prilosec otc. the number 1 doctor-recommended frequent heartburn medicine for 9 straight years. one pill each mornin

psychiatry was the obvious thing. that was my intention from the first day. i was lucky because it was probably the easiest branch of medicine for me to do once i was hurt. >> hurt. that doesn't begin to describe it. when did you realize the accident was life altering? >> the second it happened. >> after the break. this is the time of the year when the flu starts to spread. before the first sneeze, help protect with a spray. before the first tissue, help defend with a wipe. and help prevent with lysol. to get ten times more protection and kill 99.9% of germs around the house. this season, help protect your family with lysol. start healthing. cozy or cool? exactly the way you want it ... until boom, it's bedtime! your mattress is a battleground of thwarted desire. enter the sleep number bed. save $300 on the final close-out of the c3 queen mattress set. he's the softy. his sleep number setting is 35. you're the rock, at 60. and snoring? sleep number's even got an adjustment for that. only at a sleep number store, find the lowest prices of the season, with the

grof had studied freudian psychiatry, psychoanalyst, sorry. and he had, you know, it was a brilliant theory and very absorbing to study, that the reality was that when people got into psychoanalysis they would go for years and years, and nothing would happen. they wouldn't get better. they wouldn't change their destructive behaviors, and he was so frustrated with this at that point that he was thinking of becoming an animator to make animated films. and then he had this lsd experience, and they completely changed his idea of what he wanted to do. because here he felt was a tool that could not, not sort of treat symptoms of mental illness, but he could help the patient transcend the mental illness itself and actually change all these things that no method known have been able to change. so he began to experiment with this with people with psychiatric problems, and he did thousands of patients with tremendous success. and he noticed a pattern and he felt what was happening was dashed in what he was he gay patients a series of lsd sessions, and h

. >> he uses reverse psychiatry. al sharpton tried this with me in church. you ain't black enough. you ain't hip enough. people said hillary clinton was blacker than him. he got tricked into the reverse psychology game. i'm telling you now -- >> i know that al sharpton does bad stuff and he's selling a false narrative. i'm not going to sit here and call him a weasel. >> here is what i'm saying. when the president has the pow wow with the community leaders and everyone else, he didn't have the reverends we have on this show. he didn't have those who are men of god from a different point of view. he didn't have the ones that said it's about personal responsibility. and not blowing an incident out of proportion to the reality of the moment or victimhood. their points of view, i think, should have been listened to as much as we had the al sharpton on this network as well. >> they were and are because you have them on your program. >> they should be at the white house. they should be on the other networks. do i have to do the media's job alone? >> yes, you do. you raise a good point abo

in would denigrate psychiatry to the point that it suggested that an individual could use it as an excuse and make up mellow illness as a consequence of his or her actions. it's my opinion that the true nature of mental illness needs to be understood. i don't believe having process or procedures in place to determine whether or not an individual was so severely mentally ill as to not know what that person was doing was wrong or appreciate the nature or consequences of other actions. i don't believe given the circumstances that the situation and protections in place that then an individual can fake it, and remove him or her from the gurney, so to speak. >> what do you think? would it be a manipulatable system, if we try to be specific about who clears the bar and who doesn't? >> i agree with george in large part. very few people are able to ma linger in such a way. i wealthed counsel from government and assumed that they were telling the truth. we're talking about an infetessimal amount of people. the reason why it would be unwise to draw a bright line in this gray area. as richard said, t

panel covers and production to the problem, a at doctor david unit for rector of the instrumental psychiatry at the university of pennsylvania. brian tefft. you for morning, thank inviting me to this meeting. i'm going to start with what terrifically dangerous to drive. the first thing to remind those listening and looking at these near as we hat as know, all animals need to sleep, he must i know exception. sleep is an essential part of our survival and we have to do it on a daily basis. to achieve healthy sleepand an adequate duration so we don't have drowsiness or sleepiness during the data. this slide is just a reminder when we do not receive fall ate sleep we tend to asleep very rapidly. the graph going down on the left shows that alongour away the more rapidly will fall more rapid we a transition of sleep. on the right issues the depth and intensity of that sleep, this is an inherent part of the sleep system pretending to the need he brain from to sleep, other speakers will talk about what happens to drowsiness when you do not receive that depth of sleep. people obtain enough sleep? the

one of the enduring legacies of many veterans was shell shock. ç greater development of psychiatry.haracters mrs. dalloway. we have the novels of pat barker discussing these issues. so there's another side of this issue. we have time for one or two more questions. >> how much -- how historically accurate was the novel "all quiet on the western front," and did it promote any sort of somebody for germans in general? >> i don't know how much sympathy it promoted, but it promoted sympathy for those who were opposed to warfare. it's the classic anti-war novel. it's one of several he wrote. there's a sequel. i think it's interesting how it had a greater influence as a film. i remember seeing it the first time i was just devastated by the realism of it. it reinforced pacifism for a great many people. of course, others like the nazis hated it because it did not glorify war. when they were trying to show that in germany, they tried to disrupt performances. they would set off smoke bombs and stink bombs so people would leave the theaters. it's the classic novel, obviously. it's classic film,

. >> is there a culture of drug dependency in the field of psychiatry. >> as an addiction psychiatrist i'm looking to uncover it. there's a lot of people that drink more than they should. there's a lot of people that, i think, with the desire for the quick fix, would want something like xanax for their excity, which is addicting. it's commonly prescribed for panic disorder. things like that. in that respect there's a little bit of a culture in the sense that mental health professionals prescribe it. >> why do we see it in young people. >> it's related to the use of m.d.m. a. the two drugs are used together. one could argue there's a psychological crash and a depression period and somehow people figured out taking cada mean - people could be helped by that. >> during, thank you for being with us. >> last month sony suffered a cyber breach. it targeted a studio. >> this is the largest hack, involving salary records, unreleased movies to notes from high-level executives, and president obama's name has come up. this is an email from amy, to scott. the executives were discussing a white hou

i think the thing is in psychiatry, everything is normal to a degree. so it's normal to be a little slow or uncomfortable around people you don't know that well. but when you're really, really impaired by this, you have a disorder most likely. >> does this affect boys and girls equally? does it have anything to do with how they perceive their physical looks? girls freel anxiety if they don't think they're pretty? >> it's just as likely to occur in boys as it is with girls. i don't think people get all that self-conscious about their looks. maybe you'll be less likely to have social anxiety disorder but it doesn't necessarily mean that. some of these kids will sit in their class and won't be paying attention to their teacher because they're so worried about what other kids are thinking about them. >> well, this is something that parents should certainly be alert for and try to do something about. >> absolutely. >> thank you so much. >>> a new rental service that could bring joy to your holidays and gift ideas for the hardest to buy on your shopping list.

>> it has to do with psychiatry. because people hear so much negative from the foreign media, which russia can get. internet is available. some newspapers are retranslated about the west's propaganda against russia. people know what is happening to russia. in this situation they are behind putin because they see there is no alternative. the legion that was going to ally with russia, that is now dead. >> were you talking about western propaganda, there are many who would talk about russian propaganda currently. thank you, dmitri babich, political analyst. >>> now u.s. commander has confirmed for the first time that isil training camps exist inside eastern libya. ahead of the u.s. africa command say that washington is monday monitoring activity there is. >> it's about people coming in for training and logistics support for training sites. that's what we see right now. as far as a huge network, we have not seen that yet. the numbers are somewhere around a couple hundred is the estimate. but again, we don't have a specif

of course that leads to greater developments in psychiatry. we have the characters in miss dalway. we have the novels of pat barker discussing these issues. there is another side of this issue, right? >> we have time for one or two more questions. >> yes. >> how much -- how historically accurate was the novel "all quiet on the western front"? did it promote any sort of sympathy for germans in general? >> i don't know how much sympathy it promoted but it certainly promoted sympathy for those opposed to warfare. it, you know, it's the classic anti-war novel. it's one of several he wrote. there is a sequel called "the road back" and then "three comrades." i think it is most interesting how it obviously had a greater influence as a film. i remember seeing it the first time, i was just devastated by the realism of it. and it certainly reinforced pass fism -- pacifism for a great many people. other people like the nazis hated it because it did not glorify war. when they would try to show that in germany they tried to disrupt theatrical performances. they would set off smoke bombs and sti

. >> here's a report from the front lines of psychiatry. i think that christmas and other such holidays ask people to show that everything is good. right? show how together you are. demonstrate with the ribbon and the tissue paper that your family is great and your marriage is on steroids and the truth is, we're all suffering. nothing is perfect. >> i'm in trouble. >> it's a bit of a calamity. >> everyone is in trouble. >> how do i become a recovering perfectionist in this part of my life? >> you go up to someone and you say, are things okay? just like that like i will. that's why i don't get invited places. >> the only stress i have is when i wrap my mom's gift. >> have you ever had a rear seat kicker? how about a drunk passenger? personal space invader? they'll invade your space with bad breath. what do you find the most annoying kind of airline passenger? we'll look at all of this. expedia was looking at the yearly rankings as people head off to the holiday destinations. take a breath mint, dude. you're driving along, having a perfectly

technical understanding of loss and economics and calculations, proved much less valuable than psychiatrynd philosophy and counseling, empathy. much more valuable. in assuring the success of the program. >> what did you get out of new york law school, what year? >> i graduated 1970. >> what did you do then? >> then i was a law clerk to the chief judge of new york for two years, imminent jourist, then after that i went to work as a prosecutor in new york. then to work for senator kennedy. >> you were there in what years? >> i was with senator kennedy from 1975 through 1980 when i left him to go into private practice. >> how long were you in private practice? >> i've been in private practice oned off from 1980 to the present. >> how much of your ability to pull this job off is due to your personality, and i'll say a couple of things. you're very distinct, you have the boston accent. you're very pronounced, there's no sense that you don't -- what you say is quite strong. how much did that play when you had to sit down with these families who were either looking for more money or looking for

numbers or busy signals or other specialties that didn't apply in this case, like child psychia y psychiatry i'm not surprised at all boo i that. >> reporter: paul john freed dough is president and ceo of mental health america, an advocacy group based in alexandria. he says our experiment is a reality for most americans, regardless of where they live or how much money they earn. >> we have too few mental health providers and one of the reasons we have too few mental health providers in the country is because we don't pay them very well. insurance doesn't reimburse them adequately and it doesn't really make it worth the while if people who are in school to decide to go into those professions. >> reporter: one 2009 study from the university of north carolina found that we need 25.9 psychiatrists for every 100,000 people to treat everyone with a severe mental illness. but researchers found there are really only 10 psychiatrists per 100,000 people, a short am that 38-year-old erin wallace experienced firsthand. >> to acknowledge that i potentially needed anti-depressants, i needed to see a psych

in child psychiatry alone, there are 7,000. we need 30,000. we need people who specialize in this because when it comes to severe mental illness like schizophrenia, half of those, symptoms appear by age 14. 75 by age 24. if we don't have enough people to treat that, we end up with missed treatment, denied treatment and people deteriorate over time. we have to focus more on treatment. >> congre host: a trained psychologist and co-chair of the house caucus. larry is joining us from fort worth. good morning, as we talk about the sandy hook shootings two years to the day and mental health issues in general. larry, go ahead, please. caller: good morning, c-span. i have a comment i wanted to make. i notice on fox news that every time every time someone commits these crimes, there is a mental problems but when a black does it, he is a thug. host: we will get a response. congressman murphy? guest: whatever the attribution made by anybody, we have to get to the root cause. the sad thing about minority populations is -- and others may be 10 times more l

and of course, that leads to greater development of psychiatry.we have the characters of miss gallo way. we have the novels of pat barkei discussing these issues. so there's another side of this issue, right? we have time for one or two more questions. >> yes. mo m how historically accurate was t the novel "all quiet on the ietn western front," and did it promot pe any sort of sympathy r germans in general?>> >> i don't know how much sympathy it promoted, but it produced sympathy for those who were opposed to warfare. it's the classic anti-war novel. it's one of several novels he t. wrote. there's a sequel called the road back, and then three comrades. i think it's mosta interestin how it was -- it had a greater influence as a film. i remember seeing it the first time i was devastated by the realism of it.ed b and it certainly reinforced gre pacifism for a great many people. of course, others like the nazis hated it. because it did not glorify war.r when they were trying to show that in germany, they tried to disrupt the theatrical off performance

marston has that same quality, but there's a kind of free-wheeling world of psychiatry and psychology in the 19 teens and '20s that he's really caught up in, and he comes to believe that women and men share an experience of emotions in which all emotions come down to four kinds of emotions; dominance, submission, captivation and inducement. which is where all the bondage in wonder woman comes from. [laughter] you'll have heard the words -- can your ears sort of perked up and said, dominance? he actually weaves -- believes that they are essential to our experience of one another emotionally, and in particular the experiences between women and men. so there's this sort of psychological origins of this idea about gender, but also especially about sex. and that leads him in his one big sort of master work on emotions of normal people, it's an argument against the idea that there is abnormal psychology. anything you feel is knew roan is, therefore, normal, and you should learn to love the love parts of yourself, he says. it's an argument for tolerance, and it's an interesting manifesto in

so when we have that psychiatry now, which we have expectation of recovery, it's really something that he supervised on his own with other people thinking it through. so this is a map from the american front here and you can see this is where the headquarters were and what was discovered is that if you put hospitals in the field and train doctors who had these mental symptoms, but you could filter out and this is going up and down here. you can see here the advanced or logical hospitals. and this includes when they exhibited the kinds of things that you associate. in this includes the only dedicated psychiatric hospital and the entire army. and this includes if they don't get well and 72 hours. it's a simple protocol that it's quite remarkable. and that includes when they are shaking so hard that they can't stop and they have symptoms that gives them troubles, and so he's empiricist, so he watches. and so we might not be talking about this here, we may be talking about simple exhaustion and combat fatigue. this is the view from the top of the chÂteau in france and they commandeered thi
