Épisode 30 - Psychology of Music

15 juillet 2015

Music psychology, or the psychology of music, may be regarded as a branch of both psychology and musicology. It aims to explain and understand musical behavior and experience, including the processes through which music is perceived, created, responded to, and incorporated into everyday life. In this video, we talk about how music affects the psychology of our emotions and mood. Article referenced: http://www.psych2go.net/music-and-its-effect-on-mood/ A big thanks to Joy, Greg, and Pavlova for their hard work!

Épisode 20 - What is ASMR? Happy International ASMR day!

9 avril 2017

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, ASMR, is a tricky feeling to describe, and I can only talk about it secondhand. From what I understand from conversations with ASMRers, it’s a tingle in your brain, a kind of pleasurable headache that can creep down your spine. There are plenty of people out there who never heard about ASMR that we might be able to help in different ways, so it’s good that we can promote ASMR in a positive way so that other people who deal with sleeping problems or high levels of stress for example can give ASMR videos a shot. We got the special honour to reach out to Hermatic Kitten to shed light on AMSR and give you a asmr video through her gentle whispering. This video includes asmr sounds, asmr whisper, asmr role play. If you feel your brain tingles, do not be alarm. Also, for those who don't know, Hermatic Kitten pointed out today is also International ASMR day (April 9th) to celebrate those who engage in ASMR and to promote awareness of ASMR across the world. Hope you enjoy! Also, be sure to check out Hermatic Kitten's Channel to listen to more of her ASMR audios: https://www.youtube.com/user/hermetickitten/videos Cheers from Psych2Go.

Épisode 174 - 8 Things People with Depression Want You to Know

26 novembre 2018

Depression and mental illness can feel like they are weighing down on the quality of life. For Giving Week 2018, Psych2Go wants to share a compilation of what people with depression what you to understand, because it's easy to make assumptions about a depressed person. Depression isn't as easy as "just" being healthier or exercising more, and it's not easy to understand why one might feel depressed. It's not that we're not trying hard enough when we are depressed; we can't snap out of it that easily. We feel like a burden when we are depressed, and don't want to annoy or bother others. We truly appreciate your efforts, but don't want you to try and "fix" us, either. Do you empathize with any of these feelings? Please remember - the Psych2Go family is always here for you, if you need someone to reach out to. Our comment section is always a very friendly and inclusive safe circle! Psych2Go is delighted to be a part of Giving Week 2018, specifically the Brain & Behavior Foundation! Please do not feel pressured to make monetary donations, as even just liking the video and sharing it to others will be great! 100% of every dollar donated for research is invested in their research grants, which funds the most innovative ideas in neuroscience and psychiatry to better understand the causes and develop new ways to treat brain and behavior disorders. These illnesses include depression, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, autism, bipolar disorder, and more.

Épisode 177 - 10 Signs of High Functioning Depression

1 décembre 2018

The symptoms of High Functioning Depression (HFD) are similar to that of clinical depression. Many people suffer from High Functioning Depression, and might not even know it; do ~you~ have HFD? 10 signs of High Functioning Depression include being more intelligent than the average cohort, having tendencies of perfectionism, and having a family history of depression. People with high functioning depression often try to endure it without getting proper help, which allows HFD to build up gradually more and more overtime. Those with HFD don't engage in regular hobbies, and tend to confuse high functioning depression with burnout. People with high functioning depression might have symptoms of clinical depression. Do you have high functioning depression? Do you have any stories or coping mechanisms that you would like to share? Please let the Psych2Go community know, in the comment section!

Épisode 29 - 6 Signs You May Have Depression and not even know it

4 mars 2019

Are you struggling with depression, but you are not sure if you have depression? The signs of depression can be very hard to spot, especially in high functioning depression (HFD). You can watch our video about high functioning depression here if you haven't: https://youtu.be/h50-JYAbKik If you are not sure if you have depression or not, we recommend talking to a professional. The word Depression often makes you feel embarrassed or ashamed. These feelings come from ourselves; or sometimes they’re put on us by other people. Unfortunately, some stigma surrounding mental illness remains, but depression is an illness, not an embarrassing habit. There are more than 300 million people of all ages worldwide are going through different types of depression every single day. You aren't alone. Nobody is perfect, so don't blame yourself for having it. Be proud of who you are because living with depression is hard work and an obstacle every single day.

Épisode 37 - 10 Signs of High Functioning Anxiety

18 mars 2019

Anxiety is a bodily natural response to stress. When you don't know what to expect, your anxiety can be triggered. For example, your first day of school, meeting someone, or giving a speech. The fear of feeling judged or not knowing what's going to happen can trigger feelings of intense anxiety. Some people describe signs and symptoms of anxiety as feelings of nervous or restlessness, sense of panic or doom, having increased heart rate, breathing heavily, sweating, trembling, and so on. The list can range. Personally, when I experience anxiety, I can't sleep the previous day. Perhaps, that's what you feel too? #psych2go #highfunctioninganxiey #mentalhealthseries This video is animated by a new animator of ours, also part of our design team. Natasha Ho - https://www.instagram.com/natashaho_/ She's a new animator for our team and if you guys like her work, be sure to support this video by leaving a like or comment. High functioning anxiety isn’t actually considered a mental health diagnosis. Instead, it’s a term many people can relate to when they have anxiety and can still carry out everyday tasks at a functional level. It could be the valedictorian in your class, your coworker who has an exceptionally polished resume, or it might even be you. It’s no surprise that this has become widely relevant when roughly 40 million adults struggle with anxiety. When someone tells you they’re fine or always has a smile plastered on their face, they might actually need your help.

Épisode 45 - What is Stockholm Syndrome? Psych 101 ep1

27 mars 2019

You may have heard Stockholm Syndrome mentioned when people talk about things like true crime or Beauty and the Beast, but what is it really? Where did the term come from? Why does it happen? And how common is it? Well, you’re in luck for some answers! We did the research, so you don’t have to. Stockholm syndrome is generally defined as the occurrence where hostages form emotional attachments to their captors and/or begin to feel sympathy for them. Criminologist and psychiatrist Nils Bejerot first coined the term Stockholm Syndrome in 1973. #stockholm syndrome #psych101series #intropsychology Do you want to see more series like this?

Épisode 63 - 10 Signs of Emotional Abuse from Parents

Unlike physical abuse, being emotionally abused doesn’t leave you with visible scars or bruises that can be easy to detect. In the U.S., every ten seconds, a report of child abuse is made. That means on a yearly basis, this involves more than 6.6 million children who are affected. Emotional abuse weakens the individual’s emotional development and sense of self-worth that can have lifelong damaging effects.

Épisode 74 - Gaming is Bad for YOU?

11 mai 2019

Do you wonder if video games have scientific benefits? We have you covered. Video games help with emotional stability, helps you be a better multi-tasker, helps visual-motor coordination, helps with social skills, helps with vision and even aging. Side note: Sorry, we missed point 2 in the video. :'( But it's essentially this: "2: Gamers Are Better At Multi-Tasking Multi-Tasking is something we all attempt to do throughout the day… With varying degrees of success. But what if video games could help? A 2013 study tested two groups of people, and found that those who played video games over the span of ten weeks were better at multi-tasking than those who didn’t. Even better - gamers were able to focus on secondary tasks without interfering with primary tasks. So why are gamers better at multi-tasking? Think about it. If you’re playing a first person shooter, you have to track objects, keep an eye on your ammo, and focus on the mission - all at once." #videogames #psych2go Sources and transcript included in this doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KGopDh10Y0sWG1EeEc7md4bi8P7dgjTGroeMquQv9Ns/edit?usp=sharing Team Members: Script Writer: Elliot Figueira Script Editor: Steven Wu VO: Lily Hu Animator: Maxine Gando YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong Founder: Tai Khuong Need sources to prove to your parents?

Épisode 104 - Demisexuality

23 juin 2019

For LGQBT+ Pride month, we decided to work on the topic of Demisexuality, what it is and what it is not. You might be asking, “wait, is demisexuality a sexual orientation?” It is believed to be a subset and add-on to an individual’s identity rather than being an individual’s sexual orientation. Sexual orientation as people see it, is which gender(s) you are sexually attracted to or not. Demisexuality is a way of experiencing sexual attraction; it being about how you want to go about a relationship rather than WHO you would want to be in a relationship with. A demisexual can also identify as gay, straight, or bisexual, and may not have a gender preference when it comes to sexual attraction.

Épisode 109 - 7 Signs Your Relationship is Making You Depressed

30 juin 2019

Are you wondering if a relationship can actually make you depressed? Love can be a double-edged sword. Sometimes it makes us feel more alive than we ever thought possible, and sometimes it has us at its mercy. Sooner or later, we need to evaluate our relationships and let go of people who may be toxic towards us. The unfortunate truth is that some people are just not ready for relationships and may not have your best intentions in mind. Accepting that your partner is contributing to your depression is hard to face - especially if you desperately want things to work out Credits: Script Writer: Elliot Figueira Script Editor: Steven Wu VO: Megan Edwards Animator: Ben Carswell YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong References and resources used: Depression Can Be Contagious https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/how-be-yourself/201606/is-depression-contagious Women are twice as likely to experience depression as men, and abuse in relationships. abuse often goes unreported, and estimates state that between 18 and 36% of women have experienced relationship abuse.

Épisode 136 - 8 Reasons Why Ted Bundy Became A Serial Killer

8 octobre 2019

With the release of the Joker movie, we at Psych2Go thought this would be a good time to also release a video about Ted Bundy and how he became a serial killer. Psychopathy official name is antisocial personality disorder, which is part of the DSM. Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD or APD) is a personality disorder characterized by a long term pattern of disregard for, or violation of, the rights of others. A low moral sense or conscience is often apparent, as well as a history of crime, legal problems, or impulsive and aggressive behavior. Common understanding is that psychopathy is born whereas sociopathy is made. In the case of Ted Bundy, and the character Joker, do you feel they are made or born?

Épisode 11 - The Top 7 Most Common Phobias

29 janvier 2020

Sometimes, fears become excessive and irrational, to the point where we can’t function normally. The intense worry and avoidance caused by these fears can interrupt day to day living, causing panic when that fear is encountered – that’s when the fear becomes a phobia. There are three types of phobias: social phobia, agoraphobia, and specific phobias. Specific phobias are further grouped into five major categories: environment, situational, animal, blood/injection/injury, and others. In this video, we discuss 7 most common phobias: Cynophobia, Aerophobia, arachnophobia, Ophidiophobia, and Arachnophobia (fear of spiders). If you find this list of phobias, weird, scary or unbelievable, you are not alone. These types of phobias are common phobias. They are phobias you might have or your friends might have them. Do you have a fear of phobias or any specific phobias?

Épisode 12 - 6 Signs You're Dealing with Energy Vampires

1 février 2020

Are you an empath or a highly sensitive person who is easily affected by the emotions or energy of others? If so, then you might want to be careful around emotional energy vampires. An energy vampire is a person who feeds off your emotions, or psychic, energy. People who display energy vampire traits generally lack empathy, sensitivity, and emotional maturity. As a result of the pain or insecurity they feel inside, energy vampires are addicted to preying on the vitality of others as an attempt to heal their inner suffering. Are you in a situation, where you might be the energy vampire, or someone close to you? Are you wondering if you're an energy vampire as well? If so, then this video will show you the signs that you are dealing with energy vampires. Energy vampires' behavior can be very similar to narcissistic abuse.

Épisode 25 - 10 Strengths of a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)

11 mars 2020

Drama queens, crybabies, whiners, wet blankets – Highly Sensitive People (HSP) have been labelled all of these things and more, when the truth is, there’s a lot of things most people fail to understand about the concept. HSP was originated by Dr. Elaine N. Aron (1996), and it refers to an inherent, biological predisposition some people have to process and perceive information on a much deeper level. If you’re an HSP, then you think and feel things with greater intensity, in a way that many others can’t understand. Sometimes, HSP are mistaken as empaths. Do you know someone who might be an HSP? Do you agree with these signs? #hsp #highlysensitivepeson #psych2go Credits Script Writer: Chloe Avanasa Script Editor: Rida Batool & Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera Animator: Winshard - https://www.youtube.com/user/NathanShawnRockheart YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong Special Thanks: WeTheKim https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU0tDOJ1f_eV6E67_WfDjEQ References and sources: Aron, E.

Épisode 31 - Introvert, Extrovert, or Ambivert: Which One Are You?

18 mars 2020

In this difficult time of the Covid, Covid 19, coronavirus, which ever you prefer to call it, staying at home has never been easier, especially when you're an introvert. But what happens when you're someone who is extroverted or ambivert? Do you think staying at home would be difficult? None the less, if you’ve been keeping up with the Myers-Briggs Indicator Type trend, then you’re probably familiar with introversion and extraversion. But sometimes personality tests, although they mean well and have helped with career-building and personal development, they can still be...well...very black and white. In a perfect world, we’d only have to worry about two options. But, people are more fluid than that, and sometimes, things can get messy.

Having suicidal thoughts does not mean a person will carry out the act. The CDC also states: males are 4 times more likely to end their life. While women more often have suicidal ideations. Disclaimer: None of these points mentioned are direct causes, but rather there could be an indirect relationship between them. Just like most psychology research, findings are correlational at best. If you or someone you know are having suicidal thoughts, it's best to consult professional help. #suicide #suicidalthoughts #psych2go Script: https://psych2go.net/suicidal-thoughts-17-things-that-contribute-to-it/ If you’re looking for affordable and convenient online therapy to deal with stress, anxiety, or depression, check out: http://betterhelp.com/Psych2Go http://betterhelp.com/Psych2Go Credits: Writer: Michelle Linette VO: Amanda Silvera Animator: Napassha Julpisit YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong To those struggling with suicide, here is a letter for you: https://psych2go.net/dear-suicidal-person/ Want to submit your stories, you can email editorial@psych2go.net with a request to submit your story to the world.

Épisode 77 - 10 Signs of Hidden Anxiety

16 mai 2020

Hidden anxiety is not actually a clinical term. Hidden anxiety refers more to symptoms of anxiety that are underlooked in the DSM. The purpose of this video is to raise awareness on less common signs of anxiety that people may not notice. Someone with or without an official diagnosis of anxiety disorder may still experience these symptoms. Do you have a friend or know someone who may be experiencing signs of anxiety that are hard to pick up? Disclaimer: Do not use this video to self diagnose yourself or someone else. To receive a proper diagnosis, a professional is recommended. You can, however, use this video as a guide when explaining your symptoms to your doctors. According to the American Psychological Association, people with anxiety have a future-oriented fear which leads them to avoid anything that could potentially trigger a stress response. In 2017, the National Institute of Mental Health reported that approximately 40 million people worldwide suffer from anxiety. Anxiety disorders are highly treatable, but recent surveys show that only 36.9% of those suffering from it seek treatment. This might be because most people with anxiety worry about the judgment of others and how the stigma against mental illness might negatively affect their lives. Does this sound familiar to you?

Épisode 78 - 13 Problems Only Highly Sensitive People Will Understand

17 mai 2020

Do you consider yourself a deep thinker and feel things much more intensely than others? If you answered yes, then chances are you’re part of the small percentage of people who are highly sensitive. Being a Highly Sensitive Person – or HSP - means that you are naturally predisposed to process and perceive information on a much deeper level than most. You’re also likely perceptive, empathetic, intuitive, and self-aware. HSPs are also emotionally intelligent and incredibly creative, passionate, people. As you can imagine, though, feeling and processing more intensely has some downsides.

Épisode 90 - How Your Attachment Styles Affect Your Relationships

23 mai 2020

Are you wondering what your attachment style is? Attachment theory, originated by psychologist John Bowlby in 1968, suggests that there are four major attachment styles: Secure, Dismissive-Avoidant, Anxious-Preoccupied, and Disorganized. People with a secure attachment style, tend to feel worthy of love. Dismissive-avoidant attachment style types tend to only believe themselves and distrust others. Anxious-preoccupied attachment style is where the individual doubt their own self-worth. While someone with a disorganized attachment feels insecure most of the time, because of trauma. Are you wondering how each of these attachment styles affects your romantic relationship, friendship, parenting, and world view? If so, we cover each of these in this video.

Épisode 109 - 9 Signs Someone is a Narcissist

1 juin 2020

June 1 is World Narcissistic Abuse awareness day. Unlike physical abuse, narcissistic abuse leaves emotional and psychological scars. Do you suspect that someone might be a narcissist? Perhaps, a narcissistic friend, narcissistic boyfriend or girlfriend, or even a narcissistic parent. If you suspect that you yourself or someone you know might be narcissist, here are some signs to watch out for. The vision of psych2go is to bring awareness to our own behaviour and behaviours of others so that we can all grow together. If you suspect that you might be a narcissist or someone close to you is, you can use the insights from these videos to help them or yourself. Also as a disclaimer: A narcissist is not the same as someone diagnosed with Narcissistic personality disorder. Someone with NPD would have to be officially diagnosed by a professional whereas a narcissist is more a layperson term for someone who shows the behaviour and tendency of someone who may or may not suffer from NPD. Also, do not use this video to completely diagnose yourself or others. Use it for insights only. #narcissisticabuseawarenessday Credits: Writer: Anonymous Script Editor: Denise Ding & Kelly Soong VO: Megan E.

Épisode 113 - Can Depression be Good?

5 juin 2020

People always talk about depression being a bad thing, but can it actually be good? If you’re one of the 264 million people worldwide who live with some form of depression, then you know what it feels like to have the disease always hang over your head like a rain cloud. Someone who has never lived with depression has never had to think too deeply about things like reaching out for support, how they talk to themselves, or not letting their emotions build until they explode. However, for someone suffering from depression, not thinking about these things can mean the difference between taming the disease or continuing to live under the weight of their depression. Despite all that, can depression in some way be seen in a positive light? Can depression help us think, feel, and see life more deeply? They do in fact, say that sometimes the more intelligent a person is, the more likely they are to be depressed. Could there be a link between intelligence and depression?

Épisode 123 - 7 Things To Know About Your Haters

12 juin 2020

Cyberbullying or cyberharassment is a form of bullying or harassment using electronic means. With the rise of social media and technologies, cyberbullying has become very common among teenagers. Cyberbullying is very harmful and in fact traumatizing. In fact, Hana Kimura, from the Netflix's series Terrance House, took her own life in part due to the major stress she was getting from online bullies and haters. In this video, Psych2Go want to cover some of the main reasons why haters hate. Do you know any haters in your life? Are you dealing with haters right now? A hater is someone who’s negative, who’s critical, who judges you harshly for no reason. So, how to deal with haters, you might ask? Hate is almost impossible to avoid. "Haters gonna hate" and there’s always going to be people out there who can’t deal with who we are. But what can we do? Perhaps, understanding why they hate would be a good start. Empathizing can always be the start of a piece of mind. What do you think? Is empathizing being the bigger person? If you find this video helpful, you can share it with someone who might be experiencing cyberbullies, bullies, or haters to help them empathize.

Is your subconscious mind trying to tell you something? Intuition can be a very powerful thing when it’s in the right hands, and it’s a gift a very rare few possess. But regardless of whether or not you’re more intuitive than most, we all have an inner voice telling us what’s right and wrong, what we should and shouldn’t do. Deep down inside, we all know what it is we want and what it is we truly need. And even if we still don’t fully understand the mysterious ways in which our intuition works, there’s no denying the power of human instinct. We've made this video to help you figure out what your subconscious mind might be trying to tell you!

Self awareness, also known as metacognition is a measure of higher intelligence. What makes human different from other animals is that we have the ability to think about how we think. This means the ability to plan, set goals, and analyze. A lack of self awareness causes us to become self-destructive and to put ourselves in toxic or unhealthy situations. You do not want to be on auto-pilot or a robot do you? What makes us unique and grow is our ability to be self aware. And that's why psych2go's videos aim to help us learn more about ourselves. Are you looking for tips on how to be more self aware? The first step towards being self aware is to learn more about it and recognize the signs we might be lacking self awareness.

What is mental strength? Mental strength is defined as the measure of an individual’s resilience and control over their emotional and psychological well-being. Building on your mental resilience takes a lot of time and patience. Oftentimes we can do things that hurt our resilience and make us more mentally weak.

Épisode 216 - 7 Warning Signs of Emotional Abuse

14 août 2020

Emotional abuse is defined as the repeated degrading of another person’s mental health and well-being through nonphysical actions. Even if a family member, friend, or romantic partner doesn’t get physically violent with you, they could still be emotionally abusing you. Emotional abuse, verbal abuse and psychological abuse are also harder to spot than physical abuse because the signs are generally less obvious than physical evidence of abuse. However, being in an emotionally abusive relationship can cause low self-esteem, PTSD, depression and other mental health problems. Knowing the signs is the first step to helping yourself or someone else who finds themselves in an abusive relationship So, we've made this video to help you identify the warning signs before it's too late. We also made a video on gaslighting, which is also a form of abuse if you want to check that out too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuSSuuUkrNI&feature=youtu.be If you relate to this video, we have also left a list of hotlines below you or a loved one can use to seek help for emotional abuse.

Épisode 226 - 7 Hidden Signs of Borderline Personality Disorder

26 août 2020

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a type of personality disorder that affects about 1-3% of the population. People with BPD struggle with self-image, and their behavior and view of others can change quickly as they battle waves of sadness, anger, or anxiety. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, BPD may be linked to traumatic events, brain chemistry, and family history, but these factors aren’t always present in people with the disorder. Hidden, or quiet, BPD occurs when symptoms of BPD are present, but internalized (Healthline, 2020). Because symptoms of hidden BPD are not displayed outwardly, it can be difficult for someone without BPD to understand that a friend, partner, or family member’s actions are due to borderline personality disorder and not a toxic personality or a different mental disorder like anxiety. Disclaimer: Do not use this video as a self-diagnosis. But If you see yourself with these symptoms, it's best to consult a professional. #bpd #hiddenbpd #borderlinepersonalitydisoder Hope you find this video helpful!

Épisode 228 - 9 Things Highly Sensitive People Do Differently

29 août 2020

Highly Sensitive Person (or HSP for short) is someone who is born with an innate disposition of processing and understanding information on a much deeper level than most. This makes HSPs more perceptive, self-aware, intuitive, and observant because of their deep-thinking and empathetic nature. Recent surveys show that up to 15-20% of the global population are Highly Sensitive People – that’s as many as 1 in every 5 people all over the world! Still, even with so many of us experiencing the same thing, Highly Sensitive People remain misunderstood by those around them. So many HSPs don’t even realize that they’re HSPs because there is so little awareness about the matter. So, we made a list of things HSPs do differently from others to help you understand more about how HSPs think. If you think you're an HSP but still not entirely sure yet, we have a video on signs you're a highly sensitive person: https://youtu.be/zP1Ac8fXBjE Writer: Chloe Avenasa Script Editor: Rida Batool Script Manager: Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera Animator: Karen Fong YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong Aron, E.

Épisode 233 - 7 Signs Of Unhealed Relationship Trauma

31 août 2020

Unhealed relationship trauma is far deeper than you being relationship-challenged. The difference between trauma and stressful situations is subtle but important. Stressful situations end and leave fewer exit wounds than in traumatic situations. A traumatic situation involves a great deal of fear, terror, and powerlessness. The stress involved in a traumatic situation tends to be harsh and ongoing. Also, the after-effects of trauma tend to get worse over time. If you are wondering if what you experienced in your relationship was more traumatic than stressful, and whether you're dealing with unhealed relationship trauma, this video is for you. The goal of this video is to build awareness on the topic of relationship trauma and abuse. If you feel someone could benefit from these videos, do consider sharing! #trauma #relationshiphurt Also, if you want to learn more about the signs of unhealed trauma in general, we have a video on that too: https://youtu.be/41-dra66Y0o Writer: Spicevious Script Editor: Rida Batool Script Manager: Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera Animator: Evelvaii YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong References: Bedard-Gilligan M, Zoellner LA.

The first 200 people that sign up will also get 20% off their annual subscription. What was your childhood like? Have you ever wondered how your childhood affects your mental health? Not everyone gets to spend childhood in a stable and supportive household. Some children experience abuse at a young age, while others are victim to poverty, bullying, illness, or discrimination. The things we experience as a child often stick with us well into adulthood. Habits are learned, relationships often repeat themselves, and every big change we encounter leaves a lasting impact. In this video, we will be diving deep into more examples of how your childhood affects your mental health. In a previous video, we briefly talked about attachment styles and how each type responds to parenting, relationships, friendships, and outlook on life.

Épisode 237 - 7 Signs of Depression Caused By Your Childhood

5 septembre 2020

In our previous video, we talked about the signs of anxiety caused by your childhood, but what about childhood depression? Did you know that, as of 2018, depression is now among the most commonly diagnosed mental disorders in children? In spite of these steadily rising incidence rates, so many people are still ignorant and unaware of the fact that children, too, can struggle with mental illness. Because of this, many more cases left undiagnosed and untreated. And what's worse is that people who become depressed at a young age tend to have more severe symptoms and become less receptive to treatment because of how long they’ve gone without any help. Have you ever had a traumatic childhood experience and fear you may now be suffering from depression because of it? To help raise awareness, we've created this video to help you identify the signs your depressions may be caused by your childhood.

12 septembre 2020

Have you ever had a sneaking suspicion that someone might be trying to get the upper hand? Do you only hear from that one friend of yours only when they need something? Feeling used by someone else can be seen in all aspects of our lives, and it can harm your self-esteem and mental health. Maybe it’s a friend in your life that you only hear from when they need something. Or a supervisor that pushes you to stay that extra hour. Perhaps it’s even a controlling partner that insists you buy them that new makeup kit they’ve been eyeing. Have you ever had a sneaking suspicion that someone might be trying to exploit and manipulate you or get the upper hand? If so, we've made this video for you to help you identify the signs someone is using you. Reminder: While we here at Psych2Go understand that it’s hurtful, we just want to remind you Psych2Goers of your worth! It’s important to remember that we’re not responsible for the actions of others, but we are in full control of how we react to them. But if you still feel hard to forgive yourself or are too hard on yourself about this, we've previously made a video on the signs you may be too hard on yourself: https://youtu.be/seHB34meY-M Domestic Abuse and Violence Resources: National Domestic Hotline www.thehotline.org/ U.S. Department of Health & Human Services www.tinyurl.com/y5fwvzjo Writer: Michael Ritchie Script Editor: Rida Batool Script Manager: Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera Animator: Naphia (www.youtube.com/channel/UCFZpFR9GzTx_YqVDVYrb_DA) YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong “Are You Being Used in Your Relationship?

Épisode 256 - What Your Attachment Style Says About Your Personality

12 septembre 2020

Have you ever wondered what your attachment style says about your personality? Your attachment style can provide insight into the types of relationships you’re likely to develop throughout your life. From the type of people you meet to the type of partner you are, your attachment style influences all kinds of interesting things about you, including your personality type. So, watch this video to find out what your attachment style says about your personality. Disclaimer: Like any “type” or “style,” though, these are meant to be a guide.

Épisode 262 - 6 Things Unhealed Trauma Makes Us Do

15 septembre 2020

Trauma can be a very difficult thing to deal with because it makes us feel overwhelmed and helpless. Have you ever had a traumatic experience before? Trauma is more than just life-or-death situations. Aside from all the accidents and natural disasters we see on the news, trauma can come from experiences of violence, bullying, assault, physical or emotional abuse. Sadly, some people never heal from the psychological scars of their trauma because they’re too afraid to confront it. They wrongly believe that it’s easier to just deny their feelings and act like they’re okay because they fail to realize just how harmful internalized trauma can be. So, we've made this video to help you identify the things that you might do due to unhealed trauma to help you better understand yourself and your emotional wounds. If you've related to this video and want to find out whether you really have unhealed trauma, we previously made a video on the signs of unhealed trauma here: https://youtu.be/41-dra66Y0o Writer: Chloe Avenasa Script Editor: Morgan Franz Script Manager: Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera Animator: Drean Bacatan YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong Ashe, J.

Épisode 267 - 9 Things Social Anxiety Makes Us Do

17 septembre 2020

Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is defined as an intense, persistent fear of being watched and judged by others. This fear can affect work, school, and other daily activities. Do you ever feel like all eyes are on you, just waiting for you to slip up or do something embarrassing? Do you always feel like this? It’s important to note that social anxiety is much more than shyness, as well; shyness is considered a normal facet of one’s personality, whereas social anxiety is not. If you suffer from social anxiety and want to learn more about that, here are some of the things social anxiety makes us do. Disclaimer: It is important to note that this video is purely for educational and interest purposes and is not to be used to self-diagnose social anxiety. If you or somebody you know suspects that they may be suffering from social anxiety, get in touch with your doctor or mental health service to discuss your symptoms further.

Épisode 275 - Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).. What is it?

20 septembre 2020

Narcissistic Personality Disorder, otherwise known as NPD is a personality disorder characterized by grandiosity. We may see it in people who have inflated self-esteem with little regard for others. It is important to note that NPD is a psychiatric condition and is more complex than simply being arrogant. The condition causes much distress to the people with it and to the people around them. In this video, we hope to shed some light on the condition, and signs that a person should seek help. Disclaimer: Please do not self-diagnose nor use this to diagnose others. This video is not medical advice, rather, it is for informative purposes only. Please talk to a doctor or mental health professional if you feel you have NPD or any personality disorder. If you want to learn more about narcissism and narcissistic abuse, we also have a video on the signs of narcissistic abuse here: https://youtu.be/H_Dqczmp8Kc Writer: Sid Thompson Script Editor: Isadora Ho Script Manager: Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera Storyboarder: Yi Lin Animator: Rimo (new animator) YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong Ambardar, S.

Épisode 280 - 5 Signs You're Emotionally Immature

26 septembre 2020

Emotional immaturity is when one's behavior that clings onto childish behavior when their physical age is well past their emotional age. Someone emotionally immature will find it hard to effectively communicate or process their emotions and can often appear selfish or aloof. Wondering if you're emotionally immature? Emotional maturity takes time and it is normal to be at different stages from time to time. In order to become more emotionally mature, we need to be aware of our behaviors and why we do the things we do. So, we've created this video to help you identify whether you might have certain behaviors to note so that you can become a better version of yourself. Disclaimer: Please note that relating to one, two, or even more of these points does not automatically make someone emotionally immature. These are simply guidelines and patterns to watch out for, but they are not meant to guarantee anything. We are all human and are all let emotions get the best of us from time to time. If you find that a number of these signs pertain to you, don’t worry: you’re not flawed, and you’re definitely all alone. You just might be in a different stage of the growth process, and that is completely okay!

There are a lot of different reasons why relationships fall apart – incompatibility, jealousy, dishonesty, and betrayal being some of the most common ones.

26 septembre 2020

Depression is a serious mental illness characterized by impaired functioning and a persistently despondent mood. And one of the most concerning risk factors for clinical depression is a lack of social support. Are you stuck with the wrong friends? Are they emotionally unavailable or unsupportive?

Épisode 295 - 8 Ways Emotional Abuse Traumatizes You

2 octobre 2020

Emotional abuse is defined as the continued and deliberate mistreatment of another person by means of psychological aggression, intimidation, coercion, control, and emotional manipulation. Physical abuse is a very pressing social issue being dealt with all over the world today, but very little attention is given to understanding and helping those who suffer from emotional abuse. Verbal abuse/ emotional abuse is one of the most rampant but also most overlooked forms of abuse. It’s elusive, misunderstood, and much more difficult to recognize, but the negative impact it can have on a person’s mental health and emotional well-being shouldn’t be taken lightly. So, in this video, we decided to talk about how emotional abuse can traumatize you to spread awareness on how any form of abuse is never okay and it’s something no one should ever have to go through. If you can relate to this list but you're not sure what you've experienced is emotional abuse, we've created a video in the past about the signs of emotional abuse: https://youtu.be/K_CCA7KAou4 Writer: Chloe Avenasa Script Editor: Morgan Franz Script Manager: Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera Animator: Drivenbaty (new animator) YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong O’Hagan, K.

Épisode 303 - 7 Differences Between Love and Being In Love

4 octobre 2020

What's the difference between love and being in love? Which would you rather hear someone say to you: “I love you” or “I’m in love with you”? While most people don’t realize it, loving someone and being in love with them can actually mean two very different things, especially in the world of psychology. Being in love is often associated with the early stages of a romantic relationship when things are still new and exciting. On the other hand, love is something that tends to naturally develop over time when there is friendship, understanding, and acceptance from another person. Do you want to know more on how to differentiate the two? Are you unsure if you're in love with someone or you just love them or vice versa? If so, this video is for you! In our previous video, we also talked about the difference between love and lust.

Why do we do what we do? The age-old question of psychology. While it’s certainly true that we are who we are because of our experiences and our nature, the little things matter, too.

So, we've made this video as a personality test to help you understand yourself better!

Épisode 329 - Schizoaffective Disorder?...What is it?

23 octobre 2020

You've probably heard of schizophrenia, but have you ever heard of schizoaffective disorder? Or have you ever met anyone who lives with schizoaffective disorder? It’s not surprising if you haven’t heard of schizoaffective disorder, as the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) reports only 0.3% of the US population--or 981,600 people--will get it during their lifetimes. Living with schizoaffective disorder causes intense emotional and psychological turmoil and can affect all aspects of daily living, including work, social relationships, and self-care skills. In this video, we would like to educate everyone about Schizoaffective Disorder to raise awareness as well as to encourage those who might relate to it to seek professional help. Disclaimer: it’s important to know we’re covering a mental illness that can cause serious consequences in the lives of the people affected by it. This means we’ll briefly discuss depression and suicide, which may be triggering to some viewers. Also, this video is made for educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Épisode 350 - How To Stop Caring What Others Think Of You

4 novembre 2020

Are you looking for advice on how to stop caring what people think of you or how to be confident? Our desire to impress others has been distorted by social media. Social media has set wildly photoshopped expectations of who or what we should be. Our lives have been commodified and assigned values through likes, share, or retweets, so we live with the constant pressure of what will they think of me. As a result, our desire for validation and our sensitivity to criticism increased. Granted, our insecurities are also formed due to trauma suffered in early childhood or negligent or abusive parents. But, what if you could stop caring about what others think? What would happen then? The possibilities are endless, but I am willing to bet that you would feel a lot lighter and happier. So, here are some ways to stop caring about what others think of you.

Épisode 424 - 10 Signs Someone Is Suicidal

18 décembre 2020

This is a video campaign we did to help raise awareness on suicide stats. We feel that as a mental health community, it is our duty to do our best to provide free resources to help others who are in mental or emotional distress and those who suffer in silence. That's why we give away a lot of our content for free and rarely sell merchandise. We feel it's more important to just put money back into content that goes viral and help people for free at scale. This video can also be triggering. Please watch at your discretion. When we first started Psych2Go, we didn't have money, but we figured there is a big mission. Hence, with a small team of individuals like yourself, we came together to offer help: Animators, script writers, researchers, voice artists, translator, and even mentors. We're all just people just trying to make a difference in this world too. As time grew, it became more evident that we are on to something. We are making mental health and psychology education and awareness digestible and popular for many people around the world. Now we want to expand into other languages, do more to curate resources available, and continue our goals to keep building and fostering a community of mental health advocates and psychology enthusiasts! Hope you continue to support our work! This video was made possible by Grant Vetters.

Anxiety is the single most prevalent mental illness in the world and it affects over 40 million adults in the US alone, with more being diagnosed each year. Have you ever had a problem controlling your anxiety? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by it and don’t quite know how to deal with it? Many of us are no strangers to stress and anxiety. Anxiety can be brought on by a lot of different factors, such as genetics, biochemistry, childhood experiences, and social environments.

If you relate to this video and want to learn more about the signs of hidden anxiety, we have a video on that as well: https://youtu.be/woJFvy5Jp1Y Disclaimer: For more serious cases of anxiety disorders, we advise that you seek real-life professional help.

Épisode 108 - Have Fear of Abandonment? 6 Telltale Signs..

13 mars 2021

The fear of abandonment is one of the most damaging fears to many. A form of anxiety, a fear of abandonment often starts to form in childhood for those who have it. Usually, abandonment issues begin when one has experienced some sort of trauma or loss already, thus developing a fear from an already traumatic loss. Each individual's experience is different, with some mental health experts theorizing that an abandonment wound can arise due to challenges with past relationships, troubling social and life experiences, or interruptions in one’s development of certain cognitive and emotional capacities. So, do you suspect you may have a fear of abandonment? Watch along. We also made a video on the signs you may have a fear of intimacy: https://youtu.be/9EtKgmVMsFQ Disclaimer: This video is for informative purposes only.

Épisode 112 - 5 Signs You're An Intuitive & Don't Know It - Which Type Are You?

17 mars 2021

Are you intuitive? You know that gut feeling you get in tricky situations? Have you ever wondered, "what is my intuition?" Maybe it’s telling you to change your plans and stay in for the day, maybe it’s gravitating you towards a particular choice or opportunity. When you’re right about these gut-feeling choices, you may ask yourself, am I intuitive? Intuition appears in our consciousness often without deliberation. That urge to follow your gut is a faculty in which those feelings and guesses about certain scenarios are made by our unconscious mind. Our unconscious mind uses past experiences and our knowledge to influence our decisions. This is intuition. To help you discover if you have a sixth sense, here are 5 types of intuition. Let us know which one you have at the end of the video! Not sure if you're an intuitive person? We also made a video on the signs you have good intuition: https://youtu.be/cUq8vWplkpQ Writer: Michal Mitchell Script Editor & Manager: Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera Animator: Hannah Roldan YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong References: https://pastebin.com/Pdva2eRZ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkJEpR7JmS36tajD34Gp4VA/join Would you like to animate for the team?

14 avril 2021

Are you an ISTJ? Have you ever heard of Myers-Briggs Type Inventory? The MBTI is a theory that roughly classifies one’s personality based on a set of tendencies and behaviors. The MBTI classifies into 16 personalities. Today, we'll be talking about the most common personality type, the ISTJ personality type, which is made up of approximately 13 percent of the population. ISTJ stands for Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, and Judgement and people with this personality type are known as the “Detective” or “Logistician”. Disclaimer: This video is based on the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory, which is just a theory and has personality types that are just rough tendencies rather than strict classifications.

Épisode 173 - INFJ & ENFP - The most compatible relationship?

4 mai 2021

INFJs are the rarest personality type in the world. They are idealists, advocates, and dreamers. INFJs are equally idealistic when it comes to romantic relationships. ENFPs are characterized by their charisma and enthusiasm. They are creative, charming, independent, and energetic. When it comes to relationships, ENFPs also bring their enthusiasm. For people with this personality type, relationships are a joyous process of mutual exploration, and a chance to connect with another person. Though INFJs and ENFPs seem like different personalities, they are quite compatible. Watch this video to find out why! We also made a video on the signs you're an INFJ, the world's rarest personality type: https://youtu.be/D89N3_fFwrA Disclaimer: The MBTI is a personality inventory designed to roughly identify a person’s personality type, split into 16 categories.

Épisode 189 - 8 Signs Your Child is Depressed (For Parents)

16 mai 2021

Consider sharing this video with your parents to help raise awareness and make childhood depression, not a stigma. The percentage of adults who experienced any symptoms of depression was highest among those aged 18–29 (21.0%), followed by those aged 45–64 (18.4%) and 65 and over (18.4%), and lastly, by those aged 30–44 (16.8%). Up to 3% of children and 8% of adolescents in the U.S. have depression. The condition is significantly more common in boys under age 10. But by age 16, girls have a greater incidence of depression. Just because a child seems sad doesn't necessarily mean they have significant depression. But if the sadness becomes persistent or interferes with normal social activities, interests, schoolwork, or family life, it may mean they have a depressive illness. Keep in mind that while depression is a serious illness, it’s also a treatable one.

Épisode 202 - 7 Examples Of Emotional Manipulation

24 mai 2021

Not sure if someone is actively exploiting you or influencing you in a harmful way? Here are a few examples of emotional manipulation to be aware of. Everyone can be emotionally manipulative towards others, even if they don’t intend to be. However, true manipulators perform each action deliberately and do so on a constant basis. Manipulation occurs when an individual controls another person’s emotions, behavior, and thought processes in order to satisfy a personal need. This can weaken relationships and also cause the victims to feel powerless, offended, and confused. Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes and is based on personal opinions.

14 juin 2021

Have you ever thought you were going crazy? Do you struggle with expressing your emotions, or properly trusting others? Does it feel like everyone else has it figured out but you? It can be easy to blame yourself for your shortcomings, but how you were raised also plays a role in who you grow up to be and how you handle your emotions. Your experiences throughout your personal upbringing have far-reaching effects on your life. By taking an honest look at how your parents treated you, your sibling relationships, and your family dynamics as a whole, you can spot the signs of toxicity that were present but you were unaware of at the time. If you relate to any of these six signs, you’re not crazy, it’s your upbringing. **Disclaimer: This video isn't made to blame anyone, but to help us understand why we are the way we are. *** Credit: Writer: Lily Mentriko Script Editor: Morgan Franz Script Manager: Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera Animator: Rory Mase (new animator) YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkJEpR7JmS36tajD34Gp4VA/join Would you like to animate for the team?

If you find yourself relating, remember to be kind to yourself. You can always work to correct or improve upon behaviors that might make you too needy.

Épisode 270 - What Your Eating Habits Say About You?

3 juillet 2021

Have you ever heard of the phrase “you are what you eat”? Well, what about “you are how you eat”? Though it’s not something we give a lot of thought to, our eating habits and table manners actually reveal more about our personality than we realize. Aside from their taste and preferences for food, you can actually tell a lot about a person just by sitting down and having a meal with them. From the way they were raised to their etiquette and sense of decorum, our eating habits are a natural (and often unconscious) extension of our most salient qualities and character traits. We also made a video on what your sleeping habits say about you: https://youtu.be/hLwpurgbktk Disclaimer: This is a disclaimer that this video is for informative purposes only.

Épisode 279 - 5 Subtle Depression Signs

8 juillet 2021

Depression is different from grief or sadness. Grief and sadness come in waves, and generally, you, your self-image, and your worth remain intact.

Do you always feel "lazy", unmotivated, and uninspired?

Emotional numbness, believe it or not, actually boils down to our bodies’ three evolutionary stress responses: fight, flight, or freeze. When you go through any event in life that is extremely taxing in an emotional or physical way, your body’s survival mechanism is activated and causes your psyche to go into the “freeze” mode.

Épisode 314 - 5 Things People With Depression Secretly Do Alone

24 juillet 2021

This is a hard pill to swallow, but our society is still not particularly welcoming towards those who walk around with scars. We are encouraged to not be as open about our wounds and fears. It is this idea that makes us a little less welcoming towards those with mental health issues. This is why we create this video to raise awareness on depression and mental health! To let you know that it's okay and you're not alone! Depression is a serious mental illness. Despite its severity, many people choose to handle it on their own. Some people bottle up their emotions for years and try to remedy themselves because they fear being stigmatized or rejected. Although those with depression sometimes exhibit certain behavior patterns, depression looks and feels different for everyone. If you notice some of these symptoms in someone you love, be compassionate, offer to listen without judgment, and if they ask, help them seek professional help. We also made a video on the signs you're depressed, not lazy: https://youtu.be/q8HRGiUeZwc Original article - https://psych2go.net/5-things-people-with-depression-secretly-do-alone/ Writer: Sara Del Villar Script Editor: Sid Thompson Script Manager: Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera Animator: Nayeli Meneses YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong Sources: Cirino, E., & Legg, T.

4 août 2021

Have you ever noticed a friend who always cancels plans last minute? It might be due to social anxiety disorder symptoms having kicked into their system, instead of rudeness.

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is defined as the “marked and persistent fear of one or more social or performance situations in which the person is exposed to unfamiliar people or possible scrutiny by others.” Disclaimer: The information in this video is not intended nor implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Épisode 347 - 7 Things That Make Others Subconsciously Attracted to You

For example, someone being kind, androgynous, or even wearing sunglasses could help your level of attraction! #attraction #psychology #subsconcious Writer: Michal Mitchell Script Editor & Manager: Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera Animator: Evelvaii YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong References: Jackson, L.

Épisode 348 - 8 Signs You’re Dealing With a Psychopath

12 août 2021

What comes to mind when you hear “psychopath?” The term is often used to describe anyone from serial killers to problematic exes. In reality, psychopaths make up only 1% of the general population, about the same percentage as redheads. Psychopathy is not an official diagnosis but refers to a combination of behavioral traits including antisocial behavior, “callousness,” and low levels of empathy and interpersonal emotions. People whose behavior mostly falls under antisocial tendencies are instead diagnosed with sociopathy — officially antisocial personality disorder. So here are a few signs to look out for. Disclaimer: This video is not made to attack or demonize anyone who may display these signs or anyone diagnosed with psychopathy, sociopathy, antisocial personality disorder, or any disorders in general, but rather to understand them and bring more awareness to the topic! We also made a video on the things a psychopath might say: https://youtu.be/475XZVLp7TU Official Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/psych2go_tips/ Official Discord: https://discord.gg/EsWEvrJ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkJEpR7JmS36tajD34Gp4VA/join Would you like to animate for the team?

Épisode 420 - 5 Bad Habits Distort The Way You Think

20 septembre 2021

Thoughts alone are not as powerful as often portrayed. It is when we consciously feed or engage with it that it gains power. This key point is what differentiates a thought from a cognitive distortion. Cognitive distortions are not thoughts. They are ways of thinking we actively engage in, sometimes unknowingly. Persistent cognitive distortions can worsen or create mental health issues. Fortunately, distorted thoughts are habits, and we can learn to change them by becoming aware of them.

Épisode 450 - 5 Things People Who’ve Been Mentally Abused Do

8 octobre 2021

Do you know how common mental abuse is? According to The National Center for Biotechnology Information, 80 percent of the population has experienced some form of abusive relationship and behavior. However, despite how frequent it is, emotional abuse is still hard to spot. Unlike physical abuse, mental abuse doesn’t leave any visible scars; instead, it affects someone’s behavior, mindset, and mentality. This means some people deny they’ve been mentally abused, and others may not even recognize the toxic behavior. So, whether you’re reading this to be able to recognize emotional abuse in others or recognize it in yourself, these a few things people who’ve been mentally abused do are sure to help you be more empathetic and kinder. IMPORTANT: If you have been abused or you suspect someone else has been, we’ve left a list of resources to reach out to. Please do not hesitate to contact them for help for yourself or a loved one.

Épisode 466 - 5 Signs You Have ADHD, Not Laziness

16 octobre 2021

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (or ADHD, for short) is a condition that affects your focus. It can make focusing on everyday tasks and routines challenging. For years, people with ADHD were labeled as lazy, procrastinators, flaky, or irresponsible. These labels only produced shame and prevent those with ADHD from seeking help. To help reduce the stigma, we made this video! Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes and not intended for self-diagnosis. If you believe that any of the points apply to you, please visit a therapist for a proper diagnosis. Reminder: Do not let these labels prevent you from seeking treatment. Remember that these labels, whether they plagued you in the past or follow you in the present, do not represent who you are. You are more than that. So, if you ever need help, please reach out to a medical health professional for assistance.

Shyness is pretty common. But what happens if the shyness is so intense, that we shut ourselves out from the world?

Épisode 517 - 5 Ways Positivity Can Hurt Your Mental Health

20 novembre 2021

Generally, there is nothing wrong with having a sunny disposition towards life. It's admirable to look at the bright side of things. However, positivity must be genuine. Not a forced outlook. Toxic positivity can disguise itself as well-meaning comments or suggestions like “You’ll get over it!” or “Just be positive!”. The cult of positivity makes you feel like your opinions and feeling are unacknowledged. It typically results in denial, minimalization, or invalidation of authentic human experiences and emotions. Want to learn how to spot the signs of toxic positivity? Watch along! Do you relate to this video? Are you lying to yourself without realizing it?

Épisode 522 - The Dark Side of Highly Sensitive People (HSP) [8 Mil Bonus]

23 novembre 2021

We made a video about dark empaths, but what about the dark side of highly sensitive people? What is a highly sensitive person? An HSP is someone with a heightened central nervous system that causes them to be more physically and emotionally responsive to certain stimuli, or “things” part of their surroundings. HSPs are people with distinguishing qualities, including attentiveness, creativity, and more. However, just like anyone else, HSPs also have their not-so prideful qualities that balance out their good ones. Are you curious as to what some of these qualities may be, and if you or a friend relate to any?

What do you feel when you think about your childhood? Do you think of it as a happy place you’d give anything to get back to, or would you rather pretend it never happened?

Here are some of the common mistakes parents make that can leave their children traumatized. Disclaimer: This video is not made to attack anyone who may display these signs, but rather to understand them and bring more awareness to the topic. Sometimes these mistakes they make are really honest, accidental mistakes, made because they don’t really know better, but sometimes they can be a result of simply not caring enough.

8 février 2022

As introverts, you may find that it's harder to find a significant other because you are more comfortable being alone. But do you know that as introverts, you are more fluid than you think? In fact, there are actually 4 types of introverts. A social introvert may seem more extroverted. Thinking introverts are often lost in their own world. Anxious introverts represent stereotypical traits of an introvert. And lastly, restrained introverts crave routines and don't like change.

Épisode 210 - 6 Signs You've Been Abused, NOT Your Fault

24 avril 2022

While many abuse survivors move towards healing their trauma to become whole and healthy individuals, others may have to endure lingering effects of these experiences throughout their life. Repressed memories of abuse trauma, especially when experienced early, may also cause detrimental symptoms to arise, even when the experiencer of these symptoms is unaware of the root cause. Identification, awareness, external support, and a willingness to heal are the starting pillars to making a difference between moving forward and remaining stuck in negative coping patterns. If you’ve experienced abuse of any form, check-in with yourself to see if you can relate to any of the following signs of lingering effects due to your trauma.

Épisode 214 - Signs of High Functioning PTSD

27 avril 2022

Do you have suspicions that you are suffering from PTSD, but are not exactly sure? Maybe you are unsure if what you went through qualifies as traumatic, or perhaps you have doubts as to whether you have PTSD because you are still able to go throughout your day and fulfil tasks and responsibilities. Perhaps you have seen cases of PTSD in others (whether in person or in media), and have thought that what you go through is not as severe, invalidating your own feelings. Here are a few signs of high functioning PTSD. Please reach out to a qualified healthcare provider or mental health professional if you are struggling.

Épisode 224 - Borderline Personality Disorder vs Bipolar Disorder – How to tell the difference

4 mai 2022

Nearly two-thirds of individuals with bipolar disorder have been misdiagnosed at some point in their lives, and they visit nearly four physicians on average before receiving a definitive bipolar diagnosis. Perhaps the most troubling feature is the length of time it takes for a person to receive a bipolar diagnosis and appropriate treatment. It takes an average of 10 years from the time a person experiences their first bipolar mood episode until they receive bipolar disorder treatment. This treatment gap is the result of widespread misunderstandings about bipolar disorder and how it shows in episodes, as well as a general aversion to discussing a persistent psychological disorder, especially when symptoms are present in a young person.

Épisode 236 - 5 Signs Of A Dark Empath, Not Psychopath

11 mai 2022

While the term psychopath is not an official mental health diagnosis, it is used in clinical setting to mean someone who show signs of antisocial personality disorder. Antisocial personality disorder is the official clinical term for someone who has a pattern of using, manipulating and violating the rights of others. One thing that was highlighted in an abnormal psychology class is that psychopath actually have empathy, but they use it for their own gains. They manipulate others by using their ability to validate others for their own agenda. In a previous video, we covered dark empaths. Dark empath is a relatively new term referring to someone who also knows how to use empathy for their personal gains. However, there are differences between a psychopath and dark empath. Watch this video learn these interesting differences, and protect yourself from life difficult situations. Dark empaths are people who have a high level of cognitive empathy only, not emotional empathy or compassionate empathy. They don’t possess the ability to provide wholehearted concern the way full empaths do. This is because, despite the fact that they are high in empathy, they are also high in the dark traits of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. One might mistake them as psychopaths because of their similarities. But here are a few ways dark empaths are actually quite different from psychopaths. Disclaimer: If you suspect you or someone you know possess some of these signs, we recommend further research and also seeking help from a professional.

Épisode 259 - 5 Signs You Had A Traumatic Childhood (And Don't Realize It)

28 mai 2022

There are many types of childhood trauma that can range from events like physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical neglect, emotional neglect, divorce, substance abuse, or a mental illness. Difficulties like trusting others, low self-esteem, fears of being judged, constant nightmares, or self-destructive behaviours can be hidden signs that someone may have experienced trauma of some sort. Adults can develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder even if they have no explicit memory of an early childhood trauma, according to research by UCLA psychologists. Although you may recognize some of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it is BEST not to diagnose yourself. Please reach out to a professional if you want to get treatment of some sort. Psych2Go is on a mission to raise awareness of mental health and destigmatize mental health issues. We hope that this video will encourage you to talk.

Épisode 266 - 7 Signs Your Depression Is Lying To You

31 mai 2022

Are you feeling sad lately? What about depressed? Depression is a serious mental health disorder that needs professional help. One aspect of clinical depression is rumination or negative thoughts. This happens when we go into a spiral of talking negatively about ourselves. For example, "No body cares about me," I'm a burden," "I have no purpose in this world" are examples. The list goes on. If you're guilty of this, then we suggest watching this video to help spread awareness of how depression can actually be tricking us into thinking worse of ourselves than we really are. May is Mental Health Awareness month and as it is coming to an end, we hope to keep spreading awareness about the impact of certain mental health conditions on our wellbeing. We hope you can join us by sharing this video with those who might need it so they can start to recognize when their negative thoughts are getting too far. We also made a video on the signs it's depression, not laziness: https://youtu.be/q8HRGiUeZwc Writer: Chloe Avenasa Script Editor: Isadora Ho Script Manager: Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera (www.youtube.com/amandasilvera) Animator: Zara Brown (new animator) IG@artemis_sketches YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong Thumbnail by: Aury References: Anxiety and Depression Association of America (2017).

Épisode 273 - 7 Signs You're Depressed and Don't Know It

6 juin 2022

May was mental health awareness month. Even though we are late to posting this, we hope this video about depression can still help raise awareness. Sometimes, the signs of depression are not so obvious. For example, unstable mood, not being able to fall asleep, or losing appetite. Want to know how to know the signs of depression? We recommend seeing a professional if you see yourself relating to many of these signs. As a mental wellness channel, we hope that the channel has somewhat inspired you to seek your own therapy, and gained a better understanding into your conditions. We also have a playlist on various depression topics here as well: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD4cyJhQaFwUJVS9EhPoe69k17o7wk0-8 This video is not meant to diagnose any individual nor is it a substitute for professional therapy.

7 juin 2022

What is gaslighting? According to psychologists, gaslighting is a form of emotional or tactical manipulation where the narcissist or manipulator's goal is to get you to think that you are in the wrong. In reality, you may have just been gaslighted. Here is a list of gaslighting phrases that abusers may commonly use: "you are so sensitive," "I was just joking," "Relax" or "you are imagining things." The list of gaslighting phrases examples go on. You may have also heard of the Johnny Depp vs Amber's case and relate back to some of these examples as you watch this video. #gaslighting #gaslightingexamples We're on a mission to educate people on various mental health topics and we hope that you can be more mindful in your relationships so that you can achieve better mental health.

Épisode 276 - A man can be a victim of abuse and domestic violence

9 juin 2022

It's late posting this video, but recently in a court case, surrounding, Johnny Depp Trial and Amber Heard, there were talks and evidence of domestic violence, especially in that of Amber Heard being the abuser. Even though we are late to posting this video because of how long it takes for animation to generally get completed, we hope you can still watch this video. The purpose of this video is to raise awareness that domestic abuse can happen to anyone, and not just limited to women. DISCLAIMER: This video may be triggering to some as it discusses abuse and domestic violence. Gender pronouns such as "h/his" and "s/her" will be used for referencing individuals who identify as male or female. Also, we are not excusing any one side from any abuse they may have inflicted. We're simply shedding light on the fact that men experience abuse just the same as a female.

Did you know that little things like being able to paraphrase what someone says or showing them that you like them, can be highly attractive.

Épisode 328 - 5 Early Signs You Should NEVER Ignore in a New Relationship

7 juillet 2022

How do you describe your relationship? Or perhaps you're still single but you want to learn about the early signs of a toxic relationship? It’s always important to stay attuned to the behavioral patterns of our partners because it can help us detect red flags early on. Being observant of toxic behaviors from the start can prevent us from jumping into a serious commitment and maybe even walk away from a situation that could be potentially dangerous, such as domestic violence or narcissistic abuse. So, here are 5 early warning signs you should never ignore in a new relationship. We also made a video about the signs of narcissistic abuse: https://youtu.be/H_Dqczmp8Kc About the writer: Michelle Rivas is a passionate advocate for victims of domestic violence and for mental health awareness.

Épisode 330 - 7 Warning Signs Of A Mental Illness (Reanimated)

7 juillet 2022

Are you worried about someone who might be suffering from a mental illness? Or perhaps you’re worried about your mental health? Major mental illnesses such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder rarely appear “out of the blue.” Most often people recognize that something’s not quite right about one’s thinking, feelings, or behavior before one of these illnesses appears in its full-blown form. Being informed about developing symptoms, or early warning signs can lead to intervention that can help reduce the severity of an illness. It may even be possible to delay or prevent a major mental illness altogether. So to help you with that, here are a few common warning signs of a mental illness.

Followed up video 7 Things You Should Keep Private: https://youtu.be/6a3N16v_g1U Recently we’ve made a video about 7 Things You Should Keep Private. Some of you shared your thoughts with us, and today we’d like to acknowledge them! You told us about the types of situations in which you shouldn’t keep to yourself, but instead should share with those you trust. These may include difficulties in your family, relationships and workplace. And while sometimes, some things are best kept private to avoid unnecessary problems, we do encourage you to speak up about serious issues you may be facing. Talking about those problems in a safe setting, like with a mental health professional or a close friend could help you take the weight off your shoulders. So here are a few things not to keep private.

9 juillet 2022

Are you struggling with low self esteem but don't know it? Seeing value and worth in yourself despite what others think and what you go through is important to your overall wellbeing. It can affect how you think, feel, and act towards yourself, and also impact how you let others treat you. While many may think that low self-esteem looks like someone who is sitting alone by themselves not wanting to do anything all the time, it can actually manifest in a number of different ways, some which may surprise you.

Épisode 340 - 5 Signs It's Chemistry, But Not Compatibility

11 juillet 2022

Do you believe in love at first sight? Or maybe you even experienced it with someone? Attraction is not enough for a meaningful relationship. A deeper connection between two people is required for a couple to survive its ups and downs – a connection we call compatibility. It means to share values, beliefs, interests and lifestyle. It means being able to negotiate, set boundaries, solve problems and respect each other. Understanding the difference between the two can get confusing sometimes, but when you know what to look for, you can see if it’s just chemistry, and not compatibility. DISCLAIMER: This is for educational purposes and is not a substitute for professional advice. If you can relate to any of these signs, please know this feedback is not meant to discredit anyone. It is meant to be a self-improvement guide for those of you who have been feeling a little stuck. We advise you to always listen to your intuition and always do what is right for you.

23 juillet 2022

Are you wondering if you are showing signs of BOTH anxiety and depression? Comorbidity is a term in psychology for when two or multiple mental disorders are present at the same time in a singular individual. Certain disorders like depression and anxiety tend to occur together. The same for ADHD and anxiety as well as other very similar mental illnesses. Even if you are not officially diagnosed with both disorders, you can still show symptoms of two or more different disorders. If a condition causes significant impairment to your daily life and functioning, it is worth seeking out a professional. The purpose of this video is aimed to be educational. 1. You have been diagnosed with either depression or anxiety 0:52 2. You feel apathetic, but also on edge 1:12 3. You are tired in the day, but restless at night 1:39 4.

Épisode 370 - 7 Signs Someone is Secretly Narcissistic

27 juillet 2022

When people often talk about narcissism (NPD), the tendency is to imagine it in it’s most extreme and most easily recognizable form. But psychology actually says that there are two “faces” to narcissism: one grandiose and exhibitionist (called “overt narcissism”) and another vulnerable and sensitive (known as covert narcissism”). At first glance, you probably wouldn’t even realize someone is a covert narcissist because of how much more reserved in nature they seem to be than their overt counterparts. But make no mistake, a covert narcissist is still a narcissist, and they can be every bit as manipulative, exploitative, ruthless, and inconsiderate. Here are a few signs.

Épisode 383 - 5 Subtle Signs You're Being Gaslighted

3 août 2022

What is gaslighting? When an abuser manipulates you into thinking that you are delusional, be careful. Gaslighting is a common form of emotional manipulation tactic that narcissists use to get you to question your own judgement and perception. Gaslighting often happens in toxic romantic relationships, but can happen from friends and families as well. If you feel that you might be a victim of gaslighting abuse, we recommend the following: 1) Learning to draw boundaries 2) Recording the evidence 3) Consulting others or 4) gaining distance and perspective. Watch this video to find out if you're being gaslighted or not. On the other hand, if you find yourself being the gaslighter, and you want to change yourself, we recommend introspection. Ask yourself, what's causing you to gaslight? Where is the root of your behaviour coming from? Insecurities? A sense of wanting control? Once you find out the source, seek the help and available resources to learn how you can communicate or approach problems in relationships differently. You can also watch these videos about gaslighting that YouTube has too to educate yourself more on the topic of gaslighting https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=signs+of+gaslighting+ Writer: Paula C.

How is your mental health? Within the hustle culture and within society at large, the word “lazy” has negative connotations.

Épisode 412 - 5 Signs You Have Chronic Depression

25 août 2022

When most of us think of depression, we often think of major depressive disorder (MDD), where depression symptoms occur in episodes ranging from weeks to months. However, did you know that depression can persist for longer periods of time, where symptoms last over the course of two or more years without any relief at all? Chronic depression is also known as persistent depressive disorder or PDD, and is defined by a continuous depressed mood that occurs for at least two years. In today’s video, we will address the signs and symptoms of chronic depression. DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and is not meant to be used for diagnostic purposes. If you believe that you may be suffering from persistent depressive disorder, we encourage you to seek help from mental health professionals We also made a video on the signs you're depressed, not lazy: https://youtu.be/q8HRGiUeZwc Writer: Max Feng Script Editor: Vanessa Tao Script Manager: Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera (www.youtube.com/amandasilvera) Animator: AwesomeKickArt (www.instagram.com/awesomekickart) YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong References: Mayo Clinic Staff.

Épisode 413 - 5 Signs You've Been Emotionally Neglected In Childhood

26 août 2022

If you feel you or someone you know might have been emotionally neglected as a child, please watch this video. Child abuse doesn’t always leave marks and bruises but instead makes you grow up with invisible scars. Even if this kind of abuse doesn’t show on the outside, it can impact your whole life, even after you’re long gone from your childhood home. This kind of abuse is called childhood emotional neglect, a dark place where a child is ignored, not taken seriously, told their feelings don’t matter, and treated like they’re not even there. Because this form of abuse is often unrecognized and unreported, it could be difficult to spot the signs. This can be confusing when you grow up with emotional problems, and you’re left wondering why am I like this? So, we made this video to help you find more clarity about what you're going through now.

Épisode 437 - HIDDEN DEPRESSION: 5 Signs You're Smiling, But Depressed

7 septembre 2022

A key component of depression is feeling significantly sad and down. As such, if you have been smiling often, other people may not have suspected that you may be struggling with depression— and you may not have realized it, either. Even if you have been smiling and acting cheerful, have you also been feeling exhausted and depressed, perhaps from keeping up appearances, or from avoiding your more difficult emotions? It is important to be honest with yourself and assess whether or not you may be battling depression, so that you can address it sooner and seek proper help. DISCLAIMER: This video is not intended to diagnose or self-treat. This video is also not meant for diagnosis or to attack anyone with these qualities or to diagnose any individual.

Épisode 438 - 5 Signs You’re An Introvert, Not “Antisocial”

8 septembre 2022

Many of us are often mislabelled as “antisocial” when we prefer staying at home rather than accepting our friends’ invitation for a day out. Like many other psychological concepts and terms, “antisocial” is often misused in everyday conversation. Rather than calling people who are declining to engage or incapable of engaging in social interaction “antisocial”, the more proper term would be “asocial”. Silvi Saxena, a licensed social worker and certified clinical trauma professional, explained that “asocial” means feeling or being isolated from others, while antisocial behaviours are linked to antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). Similarly, introverts are often lumped in with antisocial people. Many defining characteristics can distinguish between introversion and antisocial. With that said, let’s take a look at the signs you’re an introvert, not “antisocial”: We also made a video on the signs you're an NOT an introvert, but a wounded extrovert: https://youtu.be/aVYUKIe1_UM Writer: Syazwana Amirah Script Editor: Rida Batool Script Manager: Kelly Soong Voice: Amanda Silvera Animator: Hannah Roldan YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong REFERENCES APA Dictionary of Psychology.

Épisode 504 - 4 Signs Of A Sex-Starved Relationship

9 octobre 2022

Sex is, or at least should be, the sign of an unconditional acceptance that we feel towards our partner, and that our partner feels towards us. It is through sex that two people send each other those comforting hidden messages: “I think you’re beautiful… I desire you… I love you”. But even still, many times our deepest desires go ignored. It may feel shameful and humiliating to admit that. We sometimes feel dirty for wanting more sex, but making love is the fundamental drive that makes us human. Without sex, our relationship starts to suffer, and we start suffering from the inside as well. Here are a few signs of a sex-starved relationship. What does sex do to you?

Have you ever wondered what else your body language reveals about you?

Épisode 546 - 5 Signs You’re Suppressing Your Sexual Needs

11 novembre 2022

Your sexual needs and sexual desire are important, whether it's in a relationship or with yourself. Sexual repression is a state where you prevent yourself from expressing your own sexuality. Sexual repression is often linked with feelings of guilt or shame associated with sexual impulses. Our emotions and desires have a life on their own and having sexual freedom should be one of them. Are you struggling with connecting to your own sexual side, continue watching to find out more. We also made a video on the signs of a sex-starved relationship: https://youtu.be/2a8UqhEMgGg Disclaimer: If you can relate to any of these signs, please do not take this feedback as an attack on your character.

Épisode 552 - 6 Struggles of Being Overly Intelligent

28 novembre 2022

Intelligence like anything else is really hard to measure. Even though we have what is known as general intelligence or the g factor coined by a famous British psychologist Carles Spearman (1863-1945), people still disagree that intelligence can truly be measured. For example, how do you separate those who have street-smart, and have life experiences, from those who are generally better with logic, reading, and taking tests? That aside, we will cover 6 interesting studies linking general intelligence and psychology. Highly intelligent people also struggle to find love, but why?

Épisode 559 - 4 Harsh Truths About Love People Learn Too Late

5 décembre 2022

We are taking a more philosophical approach towards this topic about love because many of you have requested something deeper. In this video, we talk specifically about the feelings of being in love, and not just merely being in a relationship with someone. You can be in love with someone, but not necessarily love them. The difference is when you are in love with someone, you get all these fuzzy or intense feelings around them, whereas loving someone does not necessarily include that. In this video, we cover 4 interesting facts about love that you need to hear about. Some may even surprise you! In today's video, we want to share harsh truths about love that may be unpleasant to hear and explore some of the reasons why dating and romance can be so difficult. Speaking of love, are you falling in love with someone even if you don't think so?

Épisode 562 - Are You a Highly Sensitive Person?

7 décembre 2022

Are you a Highly Sensitive Person? If so, you might be wondering what an HSP is. This video is designed to help you understand what HSP are and how they differ from other people. Did you know that 30% of the population is made up of Highly Sensitive People? A highly sensitive person is someone whose brain processes all information very deeply, including emotions, thoughts, and sensory input. This makes them more physically sensitive and emotionally sensitive than other people. High sensitivity is considered a normal, healthy personality trait, although one that — like all personality traits — comes with its own advantages and drawbacks. HSPs are often negatively described as “too sensitive.” But being an HSP isn’t a bad thing.

Épisode 569 - 7 Signs You Might Be Dating a Sociopath

15 décembre 2022

A sociopath is someone suffering from a serious psychiatric condition called antisocial personality disorder. While no one is born with this disorder, it is associated with a pattern of antisocial behavior that began before the age of 15. Recognizing a sociopath's personality, despite the existence of telltale indications, can be challenging. Similarly to predatory animals in the wild, sociopaths are masters of camouflage and cunning. Antisocial behavior and an absence of conscience and empathy are hallmarks of the sociopath personality. Knowing the telltale indications of a sociopath can be helpful for you to identify and understand people with these tendencies so that you can set healthy boundaries. How do you tell apart a sociopath and a psychopath?

8 mars 2023

ADHD, also known as Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition. There are three major types of ADHD: inattentive, also known as ADD, hyperactive, and combined. It is usually diagnosed in childhood and often persists into adulthood. But what if it's left undiagnosed? People with ADHD tend to be impulsive, hyperactive, inattentive, distractible, or a mix of everything. And it's can be even more traumatizing if it's left undiagnosed. If you have undiagnosed ADHD, they have a high chance of facing issues concerning family, relationships, education, employment, and more. The goal of this topic is to encourage people who suspect they have undiagnosed ADHD to get a diagnosis professionally to better their lives and get the help they need. So here are a few ways undiagnosed ADHD can negatively affect you. People often mistake ADHD as laziness and it's far from the truth. To spread more awareness, be sure to check out our video on the signs of ADHD, not laziness: https://youtu.be/im0uuCgJ-5E FRIENDLY DISCLAIMER: This video was not created to attack anyone who is diagnosed with ADHD or who may display these symptoms.

Épisode 835 - Why Are Introverts So Highly Misunderstood?

20 juin 2023

Why do introverts often find themselves misunderstood and underestimated? When I say introvert, who do you picture? Is it someone shy or closed off? Or is it someone confident and expressive? Billionaire Bill Gates, for instance, is introverted, but is unfazed by others’ opinions, and in no way shy. Even extroverts with larger-than-life personalities, like millionaire inventor Steve Jobs, can be prone to shyness. Introversion is often associated with shyness and social anxieties, but not all introverts are alike. Extroverts and introverts alike can suffer from occasional shyness, and it is crucial to recognize the differences rather than assume introverts are all the same. American author and lecturer, Susan Cain, explains that “shyness and introversion are NOT the same. Shyness is the fear of negative judgment, and introversion is a preference for quiet, minimally stimulating environments.” Ultimately, it's essential to recognize that introversion is not a character flaw or weakness. It is a different way of perceiving, processing, and engaging with the world. #shorts Writer: Brandi Michele Ortiz Editor: Morgan Swift Script Manager: Kelly Soong Voice Over:Voice Over: Amanda Silvera (http://www.youtube.com/amandasilvera ) Animator: Sunbiscuit Youtube Manager: Cindy Cheong Official Discord: https://discord.gg/EsWEvrJ REFERENCES: Bosker, B.
