@@jessicamurphy8817 True that body language could be a useful tool. However, it should not be used as the main or only tool. If he said it's not a true science, I'd actually mostly agree on that one. Pretty much all analyses on body language are somewhat flawed, as people can fake everything (including body language). Furthermore there are many meanings/reasons and various interpretations to numerous movements, voice ranges, etc. I've personally seen countless times people incorrectly interpreting body language. To have a more scientific method of analyzing a person's character, it must be coupled with other factors (i.e. persons history, relationships, life experiences [including PTSD, traumatic, good, bad, indifferent...], persons health&wellness, bodily toxic levels, etc.), etc. Although, if just trying to determine whether the person is being honest/genuine/lying, being deceitful.., then it could increase probability for a more accurate assessment.

My son is continuing his education and working on his PhD in Psychology,currently passed the FBI security and was approved for clinicals at Fort Leavenworth prison under the guidance of his professor. He watched one of this so called "Dr Grande's" video and stated "Who is this person? What's his education background, practice blah blah blah ". So my son did his own research and found that Dr Grande isn't even qualified to diagnose any person. According to my son,he feel that Dr Grande's videos are disingenuous. Btw,my son has enjoyed your analysis videos and has much respect for Forensic psychiatrist.

absolutely agree- also - a phd in counsellor education doesn't give anyone the authority to make diagnosis, I have trained as a councillor and had years of counselling. I was not getting better, and knew I wasn't stable enough to ethically practice. I was later diagnosed with BPD and received dialectical behavioural therapy which saved my life. I am now in recovery. Not one therapist in over a decade picked up on the fact that there might be something more complex going on. This isnt to say that counselling cant be helpful in many cases. I do however think that there is a massive blind spot within the profession when it comes to mental illness, particularly if someone is eloquent and presenting well.

Agreed. I was in & out of counseling for decades, never seeing any substantial, lasting improvement (aside from the years I coincidentally adopted a pretty enthusiastic meditation regiment). It took my impulsive & self-destructive behavior landing me in JAIL, & subsequently being evaluated by a qualified PSYCHIATRIST, along the lines of Dr Das here, before I got my BPD diagnosis! And that did not take place until I'd reached the age of 37. The decades of turmoil & all the meaningful relationships left in ruin, it's a shame I didn't understand what was going on with me sooner. Who knows? I might have had a happy & fulfilling life! ✌🏼

Dr. Grande gives legal opinions and frequently acts as judge and jury by saying someone is guilty or ot guilty beyond a reasonable doubt or commenting on the "quality" of the evidence against someone.; he does not have a law degree or police experience, so his comments are more than unhelpful. What he does is grounds for discipline if he is a licensed therapist! His disclaimer he is not diagnosing is BS, as you point out.

Thank you so much for calling this out. I used to watch his videos and in a few videos he even claimed to be an expert on personality disorders. I was a Psych student and was watching his videos in the beginning and one day I came across his video on HPD (well, his one of many), having a parent with HPD I thought I would click it. I was appalled by what he said. He claimed that people with HPD dont show anger, mood swings, or rage. He basically described people with the disorder as silly goofs who wear bright colors and tell stories.....to say I unsubbed after that video is an understatement. I was literally in shock as both a Psych student and someone who lived with a parent with the disorder. How someone who claimed to be an expert on personality disorders could get that so wrong was so odd to me. So then, I did some digging, and found out his qualifications or lack thereof are not what he portrays. It really angers me beyond belief.

I tend to consider Chris Watts' plea bargain our nation's own "Deal with the Devil." In the legal media system the term "A deal with the Devil" is used to refer to a crime which is extremely heinous and demented in nature and the accused pleads Guilty to the charges against them in exchange for a lighter sentence or pleads Guilty to lesser charges again in exchange for a lighter sentence. This term was first used in Canada during the investigation of Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo; aka the Ken and Barbie killers. Karla pleaded Guilty to two counts of Manslaughter in exchange for a twelve year prison sentence and testifying against Paul. When the police found videotapes showing Karla was more involved than what she told the police; the term of "a deal with the Devil" was coined in the Canadian press and the rest is history. However, I don't believe that Chris was insane or psychotic at the time of the murders because one of the key criteria for an insanity defense (had Chris rejected the plea bargain and instead pleaded Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity) to be accepted by the court system in Colorado is whether or not the accused knew right from wrong at the time of the crime. Chris clearly knew that his actions were wrong; but he did not care about the consequences.

@@freespiritchristinaMy professors in the Addictions Counseling Master’s teach us how to help clients with various diagnoses, and how to use treatment modalities appropriate for people with various diagnoses, and their characteristics. They explain how to identify people who might have specific disorders. The difference between diagnosing someone or not is the official capacity to do so. If You can’t diagnose someone if you’re not qualified to make that determination. Anyone can discuss psychiatric disorders and speculate. An official diagnosis will follow you through your life. It could be argued that YT discourse can do the same, but it is not a diagnosis, and is unlikely to affect your medical care, ability to purchase a gun, legal decisions, etc. It’s no more damaging for someone highly educated in Counselor Education to discuss psychiatric disorders than the lot of True Crime Karen’s who usually do. While I don’t agree with all of Dr.Grande’s assessments, I don’t think he’s claiming they’re expert assessments, or asking us to. If a professor isn’t an expert anymore, though, what is the state of our attitude toward education in the U.S? It’s common for doctors of philosophy to offer analysis and opinions about many topics. I’d rather hear an educated perspective, including those who have lived experience in the criminal justice system, than most True Crime channels out there, including network channels.

Listening to the facts I was well aware I was waiting to hear the evidence segment yet failed to notice there was no evidence of this individuals guilt and began to form an opinion.

I think that psychopath's may fool some of the people some of the time but can't fool all of the people all of the time. Our bodies betray us. Even as smooth, charming and manipulative as psychopath's can be, their body language will still betray them. They may be master's of control but I doubt they can master 100% all of their autonomic responses 100% of the time. I may be wrong but I think it would be nearly impossible to master that, especially under the microscope.

This video and you discussing the thought insertion aspect reminds me of something that happened with my former brother in law. He had been diagnosed Schizophrenic when he was around 20 years old. When my ex-husband invited his brother to live with us for awhile, he was 26 I think, so he had had this diagnosis awhile. I did not really think much about it. He seemed for the most part a regular person. I know he had to take medication every day. And that my ex an I would be making sure he did not forget to take it. (Which we thought we were doing.) But after awhile I started noticing odd things (because I was staying at home all day- I had a 6 year old and infant). I started to become uncomfortable. He would start laughing hysterically in his room. And I would hear him talking in there (by himself). He started compulsively reciting the Quran too- even when he had not showered for days. (Muslims, or people who know Islamic customs will know that this is really odd behavior, because you have to be clean to even touch Quran.) His brother would have to fight with him to get into the shower sometimes. A few times I woke up to find him staring at me. Or staring at the baby in the crib. When I would ask what was the matter he just looked blank and would turn around and go back into his room. My ex told me to lock the door whenever I took a nap and keep the kids with me. Because even he thought that was weird behavior. I had a conversation my my brother in law, because it seemed like his medicines were actually not working anymore. I asked him if he is talking on the phone in his room. He started laughing weird and said that he could see Djinn. I was like OMG these medicines are not working at all. He also told me he first started to see Djinn after he saw a witch in the desert. We used to take vacations to Ouarzazate a lot, Near the Sahara. He said he saw a witch or fortune tell there. Maybe he did see someone and it effected him. He had a habit of wandering off into villages and talking to people when we would go places. He said the woman told him to bring her an egg, she opened it on a fire and said some spell and did something to him. After that he could see and speak to Djinn. I told my ex and that is when he explained more about his schizophrenia. And that maybe he should send him back to Morocco to his parents. The last straw was when the smoke alarm started going off in the kitchen when I was napping with my kids in my locked room. I go out there and see him throwing herbs, salt, sugar in the oven... It looked like anything he could find in the kitchen he was adding to it. I was like what are you doing! Stop! He looked at me a said that he had to do it. He had to smoke the Djinn out of the house or they were going to hurt my daughter (the baby). He said other Djinn told him to do this. (Good Djiin. There are good and bad Djiin in Islamic lore.) His brother had to fly back to Morocco with him. (Escort him. And he did not go willingly. He even flushed his passport into the planes toilet and caused and huge problem.) Eventually his brother told him that he was not taking his medication. He thought the medication was making him worse, or not being able to know what the Djiin were up to. Anyway I have never been so freaked out in my life. But everything defied logic or sense, and was random behavior, or spontaneous. Nothing provoked my brother-in-law. we would just be sleeping and in our own rooms and he would hallucinate or have auditory hallucinations. Chris Watts had an agenda. To be free and be with his mistress. It lends to reasonable conclusion that he was not having a psychotic episode when he did what he did.

I think your channel is better than Dr. Grande's channel. And it is different. I think you should keep doing what you are doing. I wish your videos were a bit longer. Only because I listen to KZitem in the background of doing stuff. I have wifi headphones and listen to content while I work, clean, cook, fold laundry- whatever. Short videos lead to KZitem picking my next content and taking me to Dr. Grande or random people's videos lol. I love Deep Dives. I like the Deep Dives of Dr. Kirk Honda, but most of his Deep Dives are on Patreon. And he does deep dives with colleagues so it's more like a discussion. I think this format is just nice to listen to. Especially when the two speakers are not 100% eye to eye on everything or they have different expertise.

Good on you, Mr "A Psych". I stopped watching "Dr" Grande over a year ago. It bothered me that he presented as a doctor when his credentials were in education. Plus, I never mind a bit of snark, but he became very pompous and sure of himself. On the odd occasion I'd done more research than him, I was like...whaaa..? He didn't seem to know stuff about them that he should have! And he was psychoanalysing them! Nah, a miss on too many levels for me.

So for me, when dr grande couldnt see such an obvious detail, I didn't feel anything he said was even remotely reliable.

I am so confused. I completely agree with your assessment, especially with the fact that he had never shown any signs (at least from what we know) of psychopathy before… which never made sense to me. Having said that, Candice DeLong, a former FBI criminal profiler and criminologist, said that Chris Watts was indeed a narcissistic psychopath. Not only that, but if psychopaths are basically sponges on society, with no long term goals in life, then how are some of them doctors and lawyers (for example)? Can someone please help and explain these things to me?

I always thought it was absolutely clear from Dr Grande's videos that he is not a psychiatrist. Also, he appears to have a phd is psychology, which makes him a psychologist. He never claims to be a forensic psychiatrist or forensic psychologist. In other words, he is not qualified to testify in court as an expert witness, to the mental state of someone, vis a vis a criminal act they have been accused "by the people" of committing,, and not qualified to testify in court, as an expert witness, to the mental state of someone, person A, whom someone else, person B, wants to hold responsible for performing an action, or hold responsible for not performing an action, an action that caused some sort of loss to person A, for which person A seeks restitution, of some sort, with help from the courts, from person B. In short Dr Grande never claims he is an expert witness. Also, in his biographical info on his youtube channel he does not make any offers, to anyone, of being available to be an expert witness. He doesn''t say "you can hire me as an expert witness" It is clear that he is simply an entertaining raconteur. Same as Dr Sahom das. What he _does_ claim is to have is a scientific understanding of human behavior and an ability to communicate that. I am skeptical about that claim. I am skeptical that any "diagnosis" that Dr Sahom Das' makes, have any value in regard to helping anyone understand the behavior of the person to whom the diagnosis has been attached.. The complexity of human thought makes scientific knowledge about it very difficult to acquire. I think what passes for scientific knowledge, about human behavior, is mostly really just bullshit.

If you're consuming the content of any social media personality expecting them to be right about everything or even have the highest degree of expertise, you've already lost. Dr. Grande puts out consistent content that's entertaining and informative. Do I agree with everything he says? Nope. Do i think he's misleading people or misinforming them to a harmful degree? Also no. Most importantly, do I ever have the urge to yell at the screen "STOP ADJUSTING WHATEVER YOU'RE AFJUSTING EVERY FIVE SECONDS!" while watching his conent? No I do not.

I'm even less qualified than Dr. Grande and my opinions are based on common sense, life experience, and a healthy interest in human behavior. I have no interest in diagnosing because like I said, I'm not qualified. But the one thing I have observed about Watts is this: Watts is an introvert and was generally overpowered (probably in all aspects of his personal life) by his extraverted wife. At first, he may have liked that about her; she took care of bills, household, etc, but over time, he grew resentful and unhappy...maybe emasculated even? I think he was intimidated by his wife's big personality which made him reluctant to say anything to her that he knew she would not like. He wasn't sure if he wanted out, but he was definitely unfulfilled in the marriage. Then came the affair. It triggered all the highs that come with a new relationship which only confirmed how unhappy he was, however, he lacked the confidence and integrity to confront his wife because he knew she would not take it well. And since she has a social media presence, he might have been worried about what she would broadcast to her followers about his transgressions and how she would portray him. To sum it all up, he didn't know how unhappy he was until the affair gave him a new outlook on his life, albeit idealized, and was too much of a coward to end his marriage. That's where my theory ends. Because i can relate to everything I described; we've all been there to some degree in our lives, but I can't explain his lack of remorse or his ability to kill his wife and especially his children. I leave that up to the experts.

You are totally correct. An 'expert' is someone who is 'qualified' to speak on a subject. Psychiatrists have a very important role in society. They keep society 'safe' and they deserve to be 'recognised' for the often unknown work that they do. Is 'Dr' Grande a naracist who loves publicity and attention that making videos gives? Many also love to use the title 'Dr' to imply that they are more 'educated' than everyone else. Are the 'mistakes' made actually deliberate in order to gain extra publicity by others having to 'highlight' all the 'mistakes'. Your videos are also giving 'extra' knowledge to those who are not 'experts'. The phrase 'a little knowledge is dangerous' would probably apply to Mr Grande. Can people who claim to be 'experts' not be 'regulated' and 'misrepresentation' not be allowed. Thank you for your 'expert' and 'true' opinions.

I don't have a problem with Dr Grande calling himself a Dr. He is a real PhD not a fake one, not an honorary one and he didn't get it from a diploma mill. I had seen his earlier videos so I was always aware what his degree encompassed. Experts are regulated by professional licensing authorities . If you have a complaint about Dr Grande take it there. As I am sure you know You Tube has no such regulatory authority. They are only concerned with cash coming in and their algorithm which is a proxy to prevent cash going out in the form of platform liability. The operative word being cash. As for one person being a real expert with true opinions, I believe you can find lots of different experts with different opinions--think back to the experts in the Johnny Depp case. All were experts, all of differing degrees of expertise and differing opinions. It's up to the listener to research and think for themselves to ascertain what level of validity to assign any expert's opinion.

Of course people can lie, so can you, that's why you don't always believe everything you see on KZitem. When in doubt, look it up.

Most of Dr. Grande's subscribers understand his videos are simply entertainment and don't take his opinions on as their own. He himself states he isn't diagnosing, as he is aware of his own limits. That said, kudos to someone who most never knew existed, for riding the coattails of a person with a following to be noticed. Well done. But again, Dr. Grande is purely entertainment and it's understood. He's liked because he's well spoken, his voice is calming, his topics are interesting, his wife and little dog make brief appearances, his choice of background is cute and mostly, for comedic relief. Any questions about his topics are researched for a true understanding of mental illnesses or other motives behind a subject's actions. It is common knowledge among his subscribers that a specialist in training counselors hasn't the knowledge and experience of a psychiatrist. You know that, but at least your video about Todd Grande got attention, which was your goal. Otherwise, I'd have never known you existed.

When I got hooked on true crime, I took a sneak peek into one (or two) of Grande's videos. My key takeaways were: 1/He creeps the bejesus out of me 😳😲😩 2/ He generally dismisses factual information and doesn't bother dealing with nuance 3/ His cadence is unnerving, and his delivery is incredibly boring. A note to you, Dr Das; the interrogation of Chris Watts, which resulted in confession, was a refined, well-thought-out method. Saying "they bullied him into confessing" is untrue, and misleading. Speaking of people who "seemed normal all their lives, then did the unthinkable"; please take a look at the Chandler Halderson case! His personality is SO blank, and his background was so perfect - by all accounts - that his murdering his parents (and THE WAY he did it, and the REASONS! pathological lying, avoidance of failure, etc) is one of the most inexplicable cases I've ever heard. There HAD to be red flags; and he MUST have some form of sociopathy and narcissism. There's a vast amount of material to look at. His trial, his jailphone calls and his jailtexts with his girlfriend. If I were a forensic psychiatrist, I'd devote some time to do an extensive research on him and his case. Edit; I edited the sh.t out of this comment. The 1st version was written and sent before my morning coffee 🥺😶

Thank you so much for doing this video! It has bothered me for quite some time, Dr. Grande’s “thoughts” on Chris Watts. I felt he was way off. Also way off on a few others too. It concerned me, given his huge following, and role as an “expert”. I am wondering if you would consider looking into some stuff regarding Shanann W. Some of us have been just sucked in by this case, really getting into the crooks of the Watts family dynamics. Many of these details oddly kept from the public. Based on Shanann’s own daily life chronicles on fb, it is apparent that she was extremely abusive to her children & Husband. Many of us actually see signs of Munchausen by proxy, at the very least medical abuse. Please consider exploring this, I think you would find it quite interesting. A good YT channel to get the most info for your time, is Neeks Peeks. She has condensed many important details into short vids. Again, thank you. It is not right that Dr. Grande presents himself as an expert, but he is basically giving false info.
