Hello and welcome to the Psychiatry and Psychothermic Podcast.

I'm here to talk about getting rid of burnout, increasing job satisfaction, and feeling

like an expert in what you do.

One thing that created a lot of burnout and angst for me was trying to get continued medical

education right at the last minute.

All right, today I am joined with Hans von Walter, Dr. Hans von Walter.

I'm Dr. Peter, and today we are going to go through an analysis of the recent film Joker.

And I would like to say that as a psychiatrist and a psychotherapist, something that really

gripped me with this movie was the depiction of human suffering, of Arthur, the main character's

suffering, and I had a mixture of nausea, disgust, sorrow, and pleasure.

I think I left the movie with the slight headache in the best way possible, right?

And maybe I think our discussion, in our discussion, I really want to go through the mental

health aspects of this movie, the depiction of mental health, we'll go through the different

diagnostic criteria, we'll also talk about mass shooters, talk about the narratives, talk

about why it's so controversial by people either love it or hate it.

So just starting out, what were some of your general sort of, this is how I felt watching

it and how I felt leaving?

Well, first of all, I just want to thank you for inviting me to the podcast, Dr. Peter,

it is truly just an honor to be nominated.
