you guys remember that time with Shane Dawson did that Jake Paul series and
everybody freaked out because Shane Dawson and Kati Morton were talking
about sociopaths oh boy was that crazy
what is everybody this is Chris from the rewired saw where we talked about the
problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel what I try to
do is take different topics from the YouTube community try to see what
lessons we can pull from them to improve our own mental and emotional well-being
so if you're into that stuff make sure you subscribe and bring that
notification bell and all of you loyal rewired soldiers out there you're
looking around and you're like whoa Chris that background looks different
well I'm in a hotel room because I am actually in Anaheim California here at
VidCon and it's been so cool I'm probably going to do some recap videos
and stuff there's been some really awesome panels a bunch of awesome
creators I saw panels today with like Kati Morton
with Jarvis Johnson Dan from the ASPI world all sorts of cool people so I
might do some recap videos on that I've also met some really awesome fans of the
channel I also got to meet nerd City the dude who put my crazy Shane Dawson
reaction video but yeah it's really cool I also got to meet the guy from deadbeat
my son absolutely loves that channel like that channel got my son into horror
movies anyways if you're a big con find me come say hi
let's check but yeah anyways tana mongeau I guess she's gonna be here at
VidCon too but I saw they uploaded this video today about them taking the
sociopath test and I remember when Tanner was doing the mukbang look bang
how do you say that with Shane Dawson or Ryland Adams and Morgan Adams and
everything like that and I think they were like talking about it anyways we
finally released the video where tana mongeau and Jake Paul take the sociopath
test so you can check out that video down below if you want to check that out
I just wanted to take a couple topics from that video and discuss them with
all of you beautiful people so those of you who don't know me I am
NOT a licensed therapist I'm not a licensed psychologist I do have
experience working in the mental health field I'm currently working on my
certified alcohol and drug counselor licensing and everything like that but
also disclaimer I don't know Tana mongeau I don't know Jake everything like that all
right but anyways those of you who have been
around for a while don't worry I'm not gonna diagnose anybody in this video
actually do want to talk about diagnosis so anyways one of the reasons I want to
make this video because there is a topic that we really need to discuss all right
and that is self diagnosis or even looking up symptoms online so like since
like the dawn of the Internet and like searching and googling and everything
like that or WebMD this has been the bane of people's existences right like I
get it like I used to be so anxious and obsessive that when I was experiencing
something I would look online for hours and hours and hours and if you have
anxiety and you get obsessive you know exactly what I'm talking about all right
if you've done this in the past let me know down in the comments below all
right anyways I just want to talk about this stuff like always see a doctor like
I said I'm not a therapist I'm not a psychologist although I talk about
mental health on this channel like something I'm always trying to get all
of you to do is if you have the resources go get help
alright if you have health insurance if you have the money whatever it is go get
help go talk to a doctor go talk to a therapist alright but looking up this
stuff online is never a good idea it's especially it's not good if they're
trying to get like an actual answer so here's here's my suggestion just for my
personal experience my personal suggestions if you're gonna take any of
these tests online like when when you see a doctor when you see a therapist a
lot of them do have like kind of a checklist that they go through to see if
you have certain symptoms that match up with a specific diagnosis order alright
and a lot of that information they just talks online but there's so many
different variables okay so what I recommend is like especially if you're
watching like here's the scenario I imagine
you're on YouTube and you're looking stuff up right maybe you see this
sociopath test with Tana mojo and Jake Paul right or maybe you're looking up
like do I have depression or do I have this or do I have that right
like with my videos like I hope like here's a little how to use the rewired
soul if I talk about mental health subjects like if I talk about mental
health subjects like I want you to see like does this sound familiar like can
you relate to that because if so go see a professional okay
like never try to diagnose yourself never try to diagnose anybody else
anything like that all right but like if you can relate to that like I've had
people like I used to make a lot of videos just about like the different
symptoms like I would talk about you know symptoms from the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual about different disorders and everything like that and
like a lot of people would just stumble across them you know because maybe they
heard about it I'm not sure how they found them right or what sparked their
interest but like oh wow it sounds like I might have this like another great
example is I did a video about maladaptive daydreaming not that we'll
meet last year and a lot of people stumble across this like oh my god I
think I have this right so like if you think you have something make sure you
set up an appointment I go talk to somebody okay
because here's here's one of the biggest reasons why that is like so many
different mental illnesses especially have like overlapping symptoms alright
so for example if you have PTSD you also have anxiety people with anxiety can
also have depression some people might experience you know manic manic episodes
and they might think they have bipolar disorder but it could be some other type
of mood disorder you see what I mean so when you work with a like a psychiatrist
a psychologist whoever it is you can get more of an accurate diagnosis because if
you're not getting an accurate diagnosis then you're not going to be able to
treat the right thing all right like the way I usually explain it is your your
gonna have a problem treating your arm if you have a broken leg you see what I
mean like so you want to make sure that you get an accurate diagnosis all right
so the second thing I want to talk about I am reading this amazing book right now
the most amazing book I love it so much it's called an invisible influence okay
if you're into psychology if you're into behavior like behavioral sciences and
stuff like that you have to get this book all right like it was recommended
to me by a friend but anyways anyways I'm like three chapters in I've been
listening I listen to it on my drive out here to LA and I've been listening to it
like you know when I'm like - going to and from VidCon and everything like that
but anyways like check it out check it out like I'm gonna do so many videos
about this book because it explains perfectly like mob mentality and why we
choose the things that we choose and everything like that baby ways there
there's some specific studies in here that they've talked about and I just
thought it was funny because Tana mojo and Jake Paul were taking this test
together okay and here's the thing like something this book talks about quite a
bit is your answers are not going to be accurate right and here's the thing like
one of the examples it gives in there was there was a study they did where
these like these psychologists who were doing a study they dressed up as waiters
and they went to this like local brewery right and they went to different people
and had him you know pick what beer they wanted and they had like six different
beers alright and what they found was cuz with one group they had that people
say it out loud and what they found was many of the people who picked a certain
beer were really dissatisfied with that beer but with the other group what they
had him do was write down on a piece of paper what beer they wanted right and
they saw their satisfaction went way up and basically what they were trying to
find out was like how does social influence like play into the decisions
that we make so what they found was with those beers right like people picked a
beer not even wanting that specificity or not even liking that type of beer
because other people at the table were all right like they even talked about
like another test another study that they did where they had somebody come in
and you had to match a line right you had a line over here and then you had
options a B and C all right and you had to match the line which one
is the same length right and the answer was C but what the person answering that
question didn't know was that the other five people in that room were actors
okay so even though this person knew that the answer was C all of the actors
said B all right so even when a person knows the correct answer on a test if
everybody else is saying something different they're going to pick the
wrong answer right like isn't that crazy like I think this is so important like
my friend who recommended this book invisible influence to me I was like yo
we got to get everybody to read this book like there is so much in there and
it's something that I'm really fascinated with not only as like
somebody you know who does YouTube but just as somebody who like yours really
interested in seeing why people do the things they do especially how about like
like crowd psychology works like obviously cancel culture is this huge
thing and just see how people are swayed in different directions because what we
start to see especially when people are in a group like they lose they lose
their own you know freedom of choice right they they stop making their own
choices they start choosing what the herd is choosing right so there's so
much interesting stuff and I have like 50 million video ideas and stuff like
that but anyways anyways the takeaways from this video is this take test by
yourself alright get accurate answers second off use any of these online tests
as like just just getting your wheels turned all right make sure you see a
professional to get an official diagnosis alright
never forget that okay anyways that's all I got for this video again I'm at
VidCon I might do some more videos while I'm out here if you have VidCon come say
