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.

Women were Disowned for Having Children Out of Wedlock

  Many women during the 1950’s gave up their children for adoption and it was mostly because of babies being born out of wedlock. Within this time ladies who got pregnant out of wedlock were shamed and disowned by their friends and families. They were considered a disgrace to the family to have a child before marriage. During this era, it was widely judged. Which I can understand why they would be disowned because they could not wait until marriage but on the other hand it happens sometimes. Many women gave up their babies up for adoption had the right to refuse to disclose the identity of the father. Lots of the ladies did choose to tell people who the father was but it was more common that the women refused to tell. Social workers at the time respected these women’s decisions about this situation. I personally have mixed emotions about this topic. I do not think that people should be ashamed for having children out of wedlock but still should be widely influenced to...
