Psychiatric Interviews for Teaching: Mania

give that man an oscar!

I was certain this was a real patient. One of the best standardized patients I've seen representing mania

He is a brilliant actor great representation of a person in the height of mania

"The voice doesn't come through your ears, it comes out your mouth" this part always kills me!

This guy deserves an academy award. Absolutely brilliant in his presentation and the Dr. is great as well.

even his shirt is manic. i love it

"They call me the manic mechanic" Me: *Died*

It's extremely difficult to interrupt a mania patinet. I failed the my oral test in an interview with a bipolar patient. What a lesson I've learned.

The actor played terrifically. Thanks for the video

If this man is playing the part of a manic episode he deserves an Oscar. I don't think anyone could fake that so well. I've seen too many of them in real life.

This is SUCH an accurate representation of mania and what I go through and how my family and friends stay patient during my episodes (literally nearly word for word how I will act!!!) Thank you for this video and explaining how it truly looks 💚

Brilliant acting! All of the difficulties in interviewing patient's with mania comes through really well.

I'd sit and listen to this guy for hours!

She is WAY better than the "doctor" from the "psychosis" video. And the acting is more realistic here again, the guy suddenly closed at the end, as the result of loosing the trust  in the doctor, even though she's been very careful.

first good example of mania here on youtube, reminds me a lot of my first psychiatrist vidit during full blown mania.

I can really feel what it was like interviewing a patient with maniac when in psychiatry class. Patience is the thing!

Great technique. OSCEs are under 8 minutes, i guess there are certain part where you would have to interrupt and get to the point. Some of you are commenting on how rude she is but this is meant for Medical students and psychiatry trainees. We are trained to confront with patients in this manner because our exams are under 8 minutes and thats inclusive of presenting to the examiner our findings. So yes, there is nothing wrong with her interview, i am sure she is a professional herself. The only thing wrong is, it should be quicker and more straight to the point (this is to prepare medical students for exams anyways.

The actor was very believable. I've worked on an acute adult crisis stabilization unit for 12 years as a psych RN and am all too familiar with patients who present with severe mania. In the description it states he is an actor, but I'm pretty sure he is also a doctor acting the part of a manic patient because of how well he represented all of the nuances... especially calling the interviewer a $hit doctor. I have heard patients say that to our psychiatrists many times over the years. Good job.

This actor is amazing! I rarely see mania so accurately depicted.

I've dealt with people in maniac episodes, and this is very on point. His acting skills are amazing! It's almost like he is not acting, and really experiencing mania.
