Learning Diagnosis
Duration: 00:11:46
Story:
Paulina has come for therapy out of fear that the horrible symptoms she previously experienced might come back. She explains that after a lifetime of normalcy, she began experiencing significant emotional disturbances, which progressed to a point where she was having delusional thoughts and hallucinations. Eventually, the symptoms ceased, but she believes they will be back. By observing Paulina's therapy session directly, viewers are given an opportunity to hear her story, consider her words, and look for clues in her behavior that may indicate a potential diagnosis.
