Come in now.
- Swim out to me. - She was not herself.
I could not recognize her. When I look her in the eyes -
Is she staring at me?
And I can see, That she is not in there.
It's as if she's in a trance.
- Hi. - Susannah?
I think.
Oh no.
I just think you're in need To get the sleep through
We could think of it To go on a trip.
We could go up to the lake And just relax.
"We can read and eat good food. - Definitely.
I could use that.
Stephen.
It's all his fault.
It is youthful love. I can not hijack it anymore.
It's too much for me.
I have to tell him that.
It must be the newspaper.
It is the newspaper. I am unhappy.
I'm so unhappy there. That's Richard. It's Margo.
I'm just so unhappy.
I want to go back to school. It is necessary.
Something new. I want to change oil.

I'm so unhappy there, And I can not handle it.
Susannah?
Oh God!
Call for an ambulance!
- Do I get it? - You seem to be fine.
I've seen it with financiers, There is stress.
They fail nothing. That's something they imagine.
Look at me and be honest. I do not judge you.
How much do you drink during the day?
Maybe a glass of wine in the evening.
I sometimes share a bottle with my boyfriend.
- A couple of beers for concerts. - Do you take drugs?
It was a long time ago.
It's quite simple. She feels wild.
She does not sleep, And she works a lot.
I often see that in young people, There goes from school to job market.
- She's getting grown up. - Do you think that's the problem?
I almost have 20 years of experience here in the city.
I've seen everything. Make sure she does not drink.
And she must take her medicine. Then it's all going well.
It sounds good. Thanks.
I can no more!
What in the world...

Have you ever had this before?
I have always been energetic.
- Suicidal thoughts? - No.
Well ...
All daydreaming about it, But I do not want to die.
- Okay. "You're bipolar, right?"
It is too early to decide. But I see mixed states.
You are extremely high up And very far down.
But I agree with Dr. Samson.
There are many things happening In your life for the time being.
It can trigger manic behavior, Which is typical of bipolarity.
A blue mark on the face Does not mean you have been beaten.

Do it for your mother! Take the pills!
Give them a chance To work! Do it now!
You know what? When I die
I will be buried Next to grandmother.
Bipolar? That does not sound right.
Maybe she really drinks too much.
Do not you think you overreact?
You have not seen anything. You can not know anything.
Our daughter has trouble, And I'm exhausted.
I need your help. You must take her.
Okay. I'm watching her.
And we figure out what's going on, If we hold together.

Her blood tests are normal. Everything is as it should be.
She drinks too much and shows Classic signs of withdrawal.
I know it's hard To hear about her daughter.
She must take her medicine, Stop fixing and get rested.
I have not seen her drink For over two weeks.
I am known for enjoying myself A glass of wine or two -
- and I have never experienced Other than hangover.
Withdrawal? Are you kidding?
Do you really think, We take it for good goods?
She must be admitted. Now.

I have nothing to lose.
Good morning, Susannah.
How are you today?
Thanks. Do you want to get up?
Fine thanks. How are you?
You have to get me out of here. I do not want to be here.
I do not want to hear Somebody speak badly about me.
Who speaks ugly about you?
The people who are on television.
Okay.
Susannah, will you tell me -
How you had it Before you came here?
I felt I disappeared.
Can you elaborate on that?
Tired. As if I was not alive.

Now you will have peace.
I recorded some of my songs.
When you hear them, Do you want to remember some things?
Hello. Talk to me, Susannah.
Please be nice.
I ... I'm afraid.
I am just... Stephen, I can feel -
- that everyone here ... is talking about me.
- I need you. - Listen to me.
We'll probably figure this out.
And we can do it together.
- Is it true? - Yes.
I am suffering from personality cleavage.
Have you been diagnosed? By psychiatrists or psychologists?
No.
A psychiatrist said I was bipolar, But nothing about personality cleavage.
Did you get medicine for that?
No. They tried, But I refused to take it.
I spit it out.
Dr. Khan, I have to get out of here.
- I'm not safe here. - Why not?
They are talking about me. All of them.
I can hear them.
The nurses. They are talking about me.
And I can hear their thoughts.
Can you hear their thoughts?
Yes. They think I do not hear anything But I do.
I can hear them clearly.
I do not want to talk more with you.
Help!
No! No!
Help!
- Help! - Susannah.
There can be two things.
It can be either schizophrenia Or post-dental psychosis.
She is obviously psychotic, But the question is -
- what her behavior is due to
I want to print haloperidol.
It stunners her as we can Make more samples but ...
if her behavior is not changed, Should we consider hospitals -
- which is better equipped To take care of her.
No...
Our daughter is not going to Admitted to the psychiatric department.
How do you explain the attacks?
How do you explain, That she has never been before?
How can you reach it? Without knowing all the facts?
Dr. Ryan, do better The other samples -
- Before you start to threaten us With psychiatric hospitals.
- Now? - They do not know anything.
She has been here for over a week. They must know something.
Everyone gives us different diagnoses.
One says bipolar. Another says Schizophrenic or psychotic.
- What does it mean? - That nobody knows what's happening.
She is not psychotic. That's not the case.
Exactly. It is just The easiest for them to say.
We must put pressure on them, So they investigate her further.
- It is important. - Yes.
I want to be here every day, Till they know what's wrong.
I want to be with her, And she needs all of us.
Thanks, Stephen.
- I am pleased. - You have to apologize.
We should look for Neurological causes.
Susannah!
Hey. Hi there.
Do not be so generous now.
You look good.
I have plastic flowers with. Can I give you a hug?
Well ... Now I'm just doing it.
Hey Baby.
Do not you like to talk to me now?
I have something for you.
It's something very disappointing.
It's a sketchy card.
Everybody has helped make it, And they've written on it.
And a lot of people Said some pipe-flowing things -
- We would have made fun with.
Even Richard wrote on it. I think he misses you.
You are his little apprentice.
And I miss you.
And he misses you. This is...
I'm asking this.
We can make fun of it later.
We have tested Susannah For all bacterial infections.
All results are negative. This applies to borreliose -
- toxoplasmosis, cryptococcus, Tuberculosis and many others.
That all the samples are negative seems -
- that Susannah has A psychiatric disorder
It is probably schizophrenia.
What does all this mean?
This is not possible The right hospital for her.
She might have to move To a psychiatric hospital.
Listen, I will continue Keep an eye on Susannah -
Every day the next three days
Let's hope something shows up -
So we can help your daughter.
"Something"?
I do not understand this.
Our daughter dies in there.
The samples do not indicate, That she is dying.
They show that she is A healthy and healthy young woman.
- She suffers and we try ... - I want answers.
It's your job to give us answers!
This is not a kindergarten, Where you can play doctors
The life of my daughter is in your hands, And I demand answers.
Tell me what she's wrong!
The truth is that we do not know What Susannah is wrong.
We work and make choices Based on facts -
- and we do not have them now.
We are sorry, That we can not stand up anymore.
- Excuse me. - We have a bed on standby.
Now we are awaiting your choice.
She is catatonic.
- Are you feeling well? - Yes.
How do you handle it?
It should not be like this.
She's still in there somewhere. She's just caught.
I can look at her eyes, That she is screaming to get out.
I thought you're doing physicians -
- one give us some kind of hope.
It's your job, right?
- Have a great weekend. - Thank you.
And take it easy now.
I would also like to See you at hour next week.
Gee. Dr. Khan.

The strange thing is that she earlier Was perfectly fast.
She did not get any medicine at all.
The physical tests were normal. The neurological samples were normal.
No infections, autoimmune Diseases or poisoning.
- It was all negative. - I have to say that sounds interesting.
But as I said, I teach now.
She will be sent soon To a psychiatric hospital.
Based on what you say, Then it might be the right place.
No. It would be easy to call Her bipolar or schizophrenic -
- but something tells me, That it does not hang together.
I know that feeling very well. Okay, I'm looking at her.
How is he doing? I hope he is competent.
- Hello. - Hi. Rhona, Susannah's mother
- It was a pleasure. - Empty. I'm her father.
I am Dr. Najjar. You must be the famous Susannah.
Call me Souhel. The pleasure is mine.
- Please page down. - Okay.
Susannah? I will do My best to help you.
I do not want to hurt you. I do not want to lie to you.
Okay? Let's get started.
What is your name?
What year are we in?
"We must be strong for Susannah. - I know.
We'll probably get through this.
I hope so.
Can you touch your nose with this hand?
It was beautiful.
- Stephen ... - What's wrong? Is she okay?
- Mr. Cahalan. - Hi.
You know what? Just call me Tom.
After all you've experienced, May you call me anything.
Thanks.
Take a better home and have some sleep.
So...
Can you go for me?
Get out of bed.
No no.
She can do it well.
Now you have to go for me In a straight line.
One foot in front of the other.
Okay...
There is nothing to see. What is I overlooking?
Susannah? Would you like to draw a watch for me?
Write all numbers from one to twelve.
Just as you remember them.
It is nice.
Now you write the numbers. One to twelve.
Dr. Najjar, what can you see?
I work late tonight. No, everything is fine. Yes.
Dr. Ryan, that's Souhel.
Yes. But I have something, You might be interested in.
Good morning. How are you? - Well.
I may have An explanation for you.
I think her right brain Is heavily weakened and inflamed.
When a hemisphere fails, The world becomes distorted.
No one with a psychiatric problem Would draw a watch this way.
I think it would be best To take a brain biopsy.
- What does it mean? "We need to look into the brain.
We must take a sample of it, Before treatment can continue.
- I do not know... "I can promise you one thing.
If she was my child, I said yes. There is no time to waste.
I know it sounds invasive, But we can lose her.
We shave ten centimeters of yours Panning your icecream.
Then we take a cut and take A sample. I'm coming tomorrow.
Seven o'clock. You should rest in the evening. And she must not eat anything.
- She's going to fast. - Thank you.
Are you okay?
I just do not want to Have false hopes again.
Rhona, we have seen so many doctors -
- with so many opinions and theories, And always we have been disappointed.
- Who says he knows better? - Look at me now.
Then we move on to the next one, Until we find the answer.
Now I need to know one thing. Are you following?
I need you. And Susannah needs you.
Hello. I have been informed.
The sample showed the presence Of NMDA receptor antibodies.
- What is it? - It is an autoimmune inflammation.
The antibodies attack important Receptors in the brain.
I do not understand. Can you simplify it?
Her brain is on fire. It is attacked by her body.
Okay. What happens now?
We can handle it. We caught it early.
She will get 90 percent Of his cognitive abilities back.
So we can get her back?
As I said, Mr. Calahan, Then it is very likely.
Now let's hope her body Accepts treatment.
Thank you.
You'll be fine again.
I found you.
I'm lucky. In a system, Where people like me are overlooked ...
- I start treatment. - Thank you.
I was found Thanks to dr. Najjar.
He found me.
- My body attacked my brain. - Are you okay?
It completely destroyed My ability to work.
How many do you think, It has been diagnosed -
- as schizophrenic, Psychotic, bipolar -
- or simply crazy -
- when they suffered from something, That was so easy to find?
It took forever to come home.
I have brought this to you.
I love you. Very high.
Susannah, do not say no.
In gods. You had One in reserve all the time. Come on.
No no...
