so I just finished binge watching daredevil season 3 over on Netflix and
they introduced a brand new character named debts and he has borderline
personality disorder but how did the show do with showing the signs and
symptoms of this mental illness what is everybody this is Chris from the rewired
soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new
to my channel my channel is all about mental health and something fun that I
like to do is take different like movies and TV shows that I'm watching and see
how they depict mental illness like did they do it good did they do it bad what
are they doing so if you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe
and ring that notification bell because I make a ton a ton of videos in this
video I will be doing kind of a mental health review of season 3 of daredevil
over on Netflix great great great great series I love that series so much but
anyways there's gonna be spoilers so if you haven't watched yet you might want
to leave the season but I was late to watching the season so you probably
should have beat me to watching this before we jump in the decx okay
bullseye let's get this out of the way Karen page what are you doing did you
learn nothing from the Shane Dawson Jake Paul series we've been manipulated by a
sociopath who doesn't care about the truth you can't just go around labeling
people sociopaths even if this kingpin that was a joke calm down but yeah I go
through this review we're talking about borderline personality disorder like I
do want to say like you know some people are going to look at you know is this
perpetuating a stigma and all this and like I don't know it's a TV show and I
don't think but I do want to point out some things they got wrong for anybody
who watch this season is just wondering like is just what borderline personality
disorder looks like because they did get some stuff wrong but they actually got
some stuff right - so
bullseye bullseye looking into him he pulls all these records so let's talk
about you know the kingpin is reading about what happened was well bull's eyes
like super power is that he can like just like nail in his shop that he wants
you like bank stuff so anyways you taste the baseball a pole hits the coach in
the head kills the coach right so he goes to get assess psychologically now
around this time Dex is probably I don't know if they said his age in this scene
but he's probably around 12 or 13 I'm guessing to a rule you can diagnose
somebody with a personality disorder until they are an adult one of the
reasons being is that their brain is not even fully formed yet so yes it's
possible for kids to have mental illness but a personality disorder isn't
something that any kind of mental health professional would diagnose now going
back to the stigma like did they stigmatize this lose I know a lot of
people are gonna watch this and say not everybody wear BPD is violent yes that's
true but I think the little light loophole that they gave themselves was
that they wrote down the behind psychotic tendencies okay so what was
interesting is it kind of like reminded me of Dexter you watch so much like
videos on it and was trying to get him to kind of keep it under control all
right so you know we like these emotions like somebody even maybe showing you I
don't know like a decent amount of attention or they're they just fit into
this like box of who you would be attracted to maybe they're you know
pretty smart kind you know listen Chris you don't have to fall in love with
every single woman you meet you know what I mean so that part of it like yeah
that that does happen to people with BPD like the obsession and the stalking I'm
sure it has happened before but I wouldn't say this is like a depiction of
all people with borderline personality disorder obsessive and like texts to a
million times call you a ton like like these are these are like kind of but
they wouldn't I don't know it's just from my experience many people who sort
of who would go to like this level of stalking the Dex did so lastly let's
talk about one of the main symptoms of borderline personality disorder which is
black and white thinking which is also called splitting okay when people with
borderline personality disorder have relationships with anybody it could be a
friend a family member it could be just somebody at the grocery store there's an
depending on how the person treats the person with borderline personality
disorder they could switch boom boom boom like this is borderline personality
disorder to have relationships not just intimate relationships well with friends
with family members because they'll love you one minute and hey to the next
minute so kingpin is you know he's a guy who's always like manipulating
situations moving pieces around and all that so it seemed like kingpin took
advantage of Dexter's Poindexter's personality disorder and he knew how
that was so kingpin helps out debts he helps out debts in little ways just tiny
little ways because what kingpin is doing is he's moving to the good side of
deaths right the decision is yours see right there even says I will never
abandon you and that's something that people borderline personality disorder
struggle with this intense fear of abandonment and in most cases it's
imagined right so one of the things that kingpin did to manipulate the situation
was he put Julie indexes like situation
abandoned so kingpin was able to play into that is this something that could
really happen absolutely absolutely 100% so if anybody
watching this is struggling with borderline personality disorder you have
to be careful about being manipulated by people who understand your mental
illness now what's interesting is a lot of people a borderline personality
disorder get accused of being manipulative but it's also positive for
somebody to manipulate somebody with BPD so that's how kingpin gets the loyalty
of debts and gets debts to like you know well the people and do all sorts of
crazy stuff that's how kingpin doesn't but daredevil my boy Matt Murdock he
ends up telling really happened turns on Wilson Fisk aka kingpin so as you can
see like kingpin went from like this father figure this person who would
never abandon debts and king pain also said some things to debts like where he
is putting his his fiancee who turns into his wife Vanessa above decks and
that could be very very hurtful to somebody with borderline personality
disorder because just gonna leave them gonna get pushed aside by somebody else
so decks like even before all this stuff happened he went and got this painting
that kingpin wanted because he thought he can get you know he could be you know
the light of kingpins eyes and all of that so but what you see is this switch
that keeping goes from from the white to the black area like they're either all
good or all bad it's difficult for people with borderline personality
disorder to say okay maybe this was a one-off or maybe this person was having
a bad day like they see you in one of two categories that's why it's really
really important where people were borderline personality
or to recognize when this bleeding starts to happen and kind of like think
rationally something I always suggest is to write down traits of the person and
say what is true what is false right like what are the real characteristics
of this person and what are the lies that my brain is telling me right now
such as this person doesn't love me they don't care about me they want to get rid
of me because we put it on paper we can kind of acknowledge like the crazy
places that our brain starts to go some psychotic traits so evil supervillain so
like but anyways if you watch the episodes where I would love to know your
thoughts this video and you struggle a BPD let me know your experiences with
some of the things that I talked about like intense emotions or black and white
