Isn't LITHIUM suppose to make someone who's BI POLAR more MELLOW???
If so, then why was ELADIO all HYPER MANIC and talking about how right his SHRINK was when she also never said anything to him about the people that he works for???
Something was not quite right this week.
Perhaps reading some reviews of what took place could help to better comprehend whatever it was that was going on with ELADIO this week???
OK. So WEEK 3 has her telling him she doesn't think he's BI POLAR and referring him to a PSYCHIATRIST??
So what is he???
Why does she think he needs to see a SHRINK who is also a MEDICAL DOCTOR???
I'm having a lot of trouble trying to find REVIEWS of this show but found this one:
http://www.tv-recaps-reviews.com/2021/06/in-treatment-409-review.html
Which says things that remind me of LAILA and her situation.
>>Eladio cannot accept compliments. Brooke connects it back to him having a mother who never offered him the support he needed as a child
>>His life is essentially shaped by the demands of their lives {meaning by the lives of JEREMY and HIS FAMILY}. He serves as an aide to Jeremy. He loves the job. He stays because of the person he is helping. He doesn't entirely feel appreciated in this role. He is the help. He is hired to do a job. He extends himself further than what is expected of him.
But whereas ELADIO is the HIRED HELP -- and LALIA is the RICH KID -- which also means the 2 of them are at opposite ends of the TOTEM POLE -- somehow they both still seem to be under the THUMBS of others who CONTROL THEM and their lives.
And with JEREMY saying UNKIND things to Eladio, one also has to wonder if the way he feels about EL (if he feels anything at all) isn't the same way as EL feels about JEREMY.
>>Jeremy says so many offensive things that El cannot tolerate. He provokes conversation as well. He calls out these heinous thoughts. He engages with the subject instead of just writing it off as the wealthy and privileged of the world being condescending to those not lucky enough to be in the same situation. It hits him deep in his soul.
Is it possible EL is also reading way too much into the way that he thinks JEREMY feels about him???
I'm also thinking JEREMY is going to DIE soon and then he won't even mention EL at all in his will ???
But it would still be nice if he did remember him and EL could end up with enough money to do something different with his life like WRITE a story or go to school and learn to become a SHRINK like BROOK.
Because he'd probably also be a pretty good one???
Or be a pretty good writer as well ???
Anyone else have any other thoughts they'd care to share about ELADIO???
🧐
HFS!!!
That was TRIPPY !!!
UNFORTUNATELY one also has FEARS that poor ELADIO is involved in a relationship with another NASTY NARCISSIST (like COLIN).
So ... if ELADIO isn't BI POLAR then what is he???
Here's the DIAGNOSIS that seems to apply to him:
Borderline personality disorder - Symptoms and causes ...

>>Borderline personality disorder affects how you feel about yourself, how you relate to others and how you behave. Signs and symptoms may include: 1. An intense fear of abandonment, even going to extreme measures to avoid real or imagined separation or rejection 2. A pattern of unstable intense relationships, such as idealizing someone one moment and then suddenly believing the person doesn't care enough or is cruel 3. Rapid changes in self-identity and self-image that include shifting goals and values, and seein…

Previously back in WEEK ONE Brooke also points out the ABANDONMENT ISSUES that Eladio described to her.
And we've also seen him IDEALIZE Brooke one moment and then suddenly leap to the conclusion that she doesn't CARE about him.
And the first thing he says to her when he finally answers the phone was that he didn't think she CARED about him.
So my guess is ELADIO probably suffers with a BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER.
LAST WEEK (Week 3) we also saw LAILA HIDE some kind of INJURY to her arm. And a Borderline Personality can also involve having someone CUTTING themselves (such as we previously saw happening in HBO's other show called "SHARP OBJECTS").
IF that injury to her arm was SELF INFLICTED, then it will also be interesting to see if LAILA also turns out to be a BORDERLINE personality as well.
