Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we continue our analysis of the Harry Potter series with "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" featuring our dear friend and Yale and Harvard affiliated child and adolescent psychiatrist, Dr. Zheala Qayyum (@zheeque). In this episode, we talk all about adolescent development and watching the characters navigate crushes and their first school dance. We also continue exploring the film's astute depiction of development, focusing on Harry's evolving ability to connect with the good and bad parts of himself. We also wonder if Harry meets criteria for PTSD yet?! And discuss our feelings about the adults' role in the trauma unfolding at Hogwarts. We hope you enjoy!

Episode 84 - "Baby Reindeer" Trauma and Stalking Jun 10, 2024

Show notes

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are covering the new Netfix hit, Baby Reindeer. This show was especially interesting since it was based on a true story which writer and actor Richard Gadd depicts in this minis series. Donny, played by Richard Gadd is a wannabe comedian working at a local bar when Martha, played by Jessica Gunning, finds herself as one of his patrons. The series takes a dark turn when Martha begins to stalk Donny and harass his current and past love interests. We analyze Martha and discuss why people stalk as well as co-occurring pathology. In episode four we learn about Donny's traumatic past and discuss the impact sexual assault can have on future relationships and sexuality. This episode covers some upsetting themes so please take care.

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, as part of the final week of our fundraiser for the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation, we are thrilled to be interviewing Dan O'Brien (@bydanobrien) about his recent play "Newtown." In this special episode, we explore Dan's use of writing, theatre, and other creative outlets to process his own childhood trauma and, in sharing his story, giving others a way to feel less alone in their own struggles. We also hear about his experience creating a play based on real life tragedy and explore how all involved were able to support their mental health along the way. Finally, we also answer the hard hitting question - what IS a dramaturge?!? We hope you enjoy!

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are spending time with the incredible Jennifer Hubbard, founder and president of the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary. Jenny takes us through some of the many parts of CVH like their seniors program, animal adoption events, education opportunities and their belief in creating compassion and healing through the human-animal connection. Jenny reflects on noticing Catherine's love for animals early on and her curious spirit that can be seen in Pippi Longstocking. Catherine lost her life tragically and publicly in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, this June would have been her 18th birthday.

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we're release part 2 of our analysis of season 1 "American Horror Story: Murder House" focusing on the Langdon family played by Jamie Brewer (Adelaide, the daughter with Down Syndrome), Jessica Lange (Constance, the mother), and Evan Peters (Tate, the son). We use these characters to (once again! it's everywhere!) explore narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and the narcissistic family structure with Constance as the matriarch. We also discuss Down syndrome and spend some time at the end reviewing the latest data on characteristics of mass shooters. We end the episode with a special announcement about our ongoing fundraiser to benefit the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation, an animal sanctuary founded in honor of Catherine Hubbard, one of the Sandy Hook victims, by her mother, Jenny Hubbard. Stay tuned for an extra special episode with Jenny Hubbard later this week. We hope you enjoy!
