How A Psychiatrist Interviewed A Bipolar Patient

The psychiatrist asks this older woman to sit across from him and watches her carefully.

What I like about this man is that he talks to this woman humanely and calmly as if he really does want to help her.

This older woman seems to be anxious and stumbles over her words and you can't help but feel as if you want to comfort her.

He keeps talking about how two months ago that she talked a lot and how she was feeling cheerful. 

How she has changed since then and asks her if there is anything she'd like to do.

This woman seems so down and shamed of her behavior it seems like to be wanting to ask for help from this psychiatrist. 

The most famous line she says is, "I don't know." Then she keeps looking at the floor and looks as if she is about to be scolded by this authority figure. 

He keeps asking her questions about what she does in her days, what she feels, and what would she would like to do in this moment in the film. 

The psychiatrist talks about treatment and she seems admit about not receiving treatment at all. 

It makes me think did her spouse convince her to come see this man or did the doctor influence to see this psychiatrist. 

I hope this woman got the help she received in this time period and if not. I hope she feels safe and healthy in heaven.

1950s Common Alcohol Glasses

Many people drank lots of alcohol during the 50’s era. Mostly men though as woman would have been criticized if they drank too much. As they had to be sober and fully aware to take care of the children. One glass that is popular is the 1949 vintage whiskey glass. It is a small, but it can contain lots of alcohol.
