All language subtitles for Brain On Fire

Have you ever been caught?
Lost in your own body?

Lost in your sense?
Lost in time?

So desperate to escape.
To... come out.

Help! Mother!

Help! Far!

Mother! Help!

I'm new to you.

I am 21 years old and here I am
On my dream job at the New York Post.

I live in New York.
We all have dreams, right?

Do not laugh at me.
But working here was my dream.

- Richard, will you check this?
- No. No time for babysitting.

Irritate Margo instead of. Out of place

I had my whole life in front of me.
I was fearless.

And I did not even think,
What was waiting.

- Hi.
- Is that my pen in your mouth?

- Maybe.
- Send an email in the future. Save a tree.

I do not know why,
But it just works wrong.

No, it's good, Susannah.
But move the end to the start.

And find for God's sake
On a new heading.

"Danger in the hinterland.
Illegal Russian nose implants"?

- Really? You are better than that.
- I'm just taking the sad tasks.

Slowly, but surely,
I work towards the front.

That is at least
A real article.

People have died of this.
Perhaps it leads to litigation.

- I want to help people.
- You are so blue-eyed. Put on the glasses.

- Well, is it him?
- Get up straight now.

- I will kill you.
- What a smile.

- Do not.
- It's huge. Is he your guy?

- Is he your new, delicious guy?
- Margo.

- Drop down now.
- It has become quite serious, right?

- Now let's see. Who knows?
- I have no time for more talk.

Excuse me? Pretty lady

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Sorry, I'm late.
- It does not matter.

- You look good. Nervous?
- Thank you. No...

- Yes a little bit.
- You should not be. It is fine.

- I'm in my stiffest plaster.
- You look like a sunburned smolder.

That was very sweet said.

It is just for fun.
I am crazy about it.

- Good, are you ready?
- Yes. Let's get it over with.

Well, Stephen. What are you working with?

- Jeg spiller musik, mr. Cahalan
- Jaså?

What genre?

A mix of Smiths and Tom Waits.
That is certainly my goal.

Is that all you do?

I'm also working in a record store.
That was where I met Susannah.

- It's good pocket money.
- Pocket money?

Susannah has said,
That you are working with finance.

I did that.
I'm about to change my career.

We are considering something new.
Not true, Giselle?

- It's a new beginning.
- Hi Mom! We are on the roof!

Excuse the delay. Again.
Happy birthday, honey.

- Hi Mom.
- My beautiful girl.

I hear you have been engaged.
Congratulations.

Where is it exciting?
This is not a trace of awkwardness.

- What about alcohol?
- Great idea.

- Let's go to the party.
- Tom, congratulations.

Congrats to you.

Congratulations, dear Susannah.

Congrats to you.

- Hello
- Wish something.

Want help? One, two, three.

- It was beautiful.
- Congratulations.

Thanks. I love you.

- Shall I cut it out?
- Yes.

- Do you want to order me the plates?
- Of course.

It looks really delicious.

- The birthday party first.
- Thank you.

Funny, Stephen.
It sits right in the closet.

- Do you think so?
- What are you taking so long?

- Stephen, kom nu.
- Okay.

- Did not you like it?
- I did not say anything about that.

I said that I thought,
It was interesting and quite cool.

Godfather ... Stephen!

Good morning.
Good morning.

That style will suit you.

Do you want coffee?

Oh no. I'm late on it. Much.

- How disgusting.
- What?

- Why are you smiling so early?
- Stop it.

It does not matter in New York.
It is unnatural and untrue.

- Do you do that, Margo?
- You look foolish.

- Maybe I'm happy.
- I know what it is.

- It's the cheap plastic points.
- Susannah!

See for yourself. He did not smile.

You do not listen. Come on in here.

I'm completely indifferent.
Let me cut it out in cardboard.

We run the story,
And then he must live with it.

No, then he keeps his cock in his pants
And saves the underwear for itself.

- Chewing gum?
- No thank you.

You have to interview him
The unaccompanied senator next week.

It did not sound like a question.

I never ask Susannah.
You know that.

He regrets and wants in the media
With an apology to the wife.

It can be the story -

- We need now.
And you must get it in house.

Let me just think about it.

You should not think.
You just have to do it.

Are not you ready? That meant Margo,
And you're not new to the subject anymore ...

Hello? Follow now, thanks.

Just fill out the newspaper
And put it online. Are you following?

- Yes.
- Well. What do you have for me?

- Social Media Status.
- Terrible. The readers will love it.

- You get it on Thursday evening.
- I can trust you. Scrub off.

- I know what you've done.
- What?

- I know it all. Thanks.
- You deserve it.

I was just a little too loud.

- Should I take a mask?
- I'm fine enough.

- What do you work with?
- The bedbugs. It is so disgusting.

- What about you?
- Status on the Internet.

- We always get the important stories.
- Yes, they are violent.

Edward R. Murrow vender sig i graven.

What are you doing? So wake up!

Hi, Susannah. Where are you?

It was a long time ago.
Are you feeling well?

Margo?

How does a bite look?
From a bedside out?

Do you think you've got bedtime?

Because they are all kind of.
They're in my dreams.

Look here. Does it look like this?

No, I can not see anything.
You survive.

Can not you see it?

- There is nothing.
- Now look good.

- Cant you see it?
- I can not see anything.

- What are you talking about?
- Margo, it's right there.

I can see you in need of color.

- Can not you see it?
- Susannah!

What's the matter with a bug?

There are spelling mistakes and factual errors.
What the hell have you thought about?

Our legal department
Would go crazy.

You said it was ready on Thursday,
And now it is Monday.

Yes, it's Monday.

Richard... I'm ...

I'm sorry. Okay?

I have not been myself.
I've had it bad.

I have not been able to sleep. I...

Write it over. Be aware
On spelling and grammar.
Our legal department
Would go crazy.

It must be ready tonight.
This is unreadable.

Even in a bad state you should not
Could do that cheating

Get it done now. Out with you.

And she's still here.
I said you should go.

Hello!

Scrub out my office.

Even in a bad state you should not
Could do that cheating.

Are you okay?

Susannah, where are you?
You are really late on it.

If you do not come,
Do you miss the meeting at ten o'clock?

Susannah, now I'm skiing.

You miss the meeting,
And I do not like this.

I'm not your mother.
Get together and get to work.

I do not want to call again. Goodbye.

Really?

One's career is finished when you
Suggests stories about his mother.

Come on right now. Well then.

Susannah. Thank you for coming.
It was good you reached it.

- Who else has something?
- The senator's briefs are popular.

We hear about Susannah
is on the case. Are you ready?

Are you ready for the interview
With the senator?

- Yes. Complete.
- Everything depends on you. Are you ready?

We're counting on you.

Let's change the subject.
Who has something juicy people?

Give me something exciting.
Who has something?

That is always the case
The missing road covers.

Missing road covers?
Okay, we can use that.

I feel very bad.

My main works,
And I have a stomach ache.

My hand is numb.
It's my leg too and I...

I'm not good, Stephen.
Do not track well.

Do you ever hear?
Are you sitting and playing guitar?

- No.
- Oh God.

Okay, I'm sitting and taking something.

- Is it a tingling feeling?
- I do not know.

It just feels strange.

I have never
Experienced something similar. Never.

- Could it be a hangover?
- I drank almost nothing.

- You are not pregnant?
- You are not for any help. Goodbye.

Hello. What in the world
Are you under your desk?

- Stephen... It's just...
- Do you want to talk about it?

Should I come down
Under the table for you?

- I'm getting coffee. What about you?
- I just want to sit under the table.

It's wildly popular
With the demanding blondes.

Susannah, what's up there?

I do not know. It's a good thing
About influenza symptoms.

I have been numb
In the left arm and leg.

I feel dizzy all the time.

I do not know,
If it has anything to do with it -

-But I've got some...

I have some prayers
From the bedside arm on the arm.

- Let me see.
- There. Can you see them?

Have you had borreliose?
- No.

Look at my nose.

Do you want to keep your arms straight ahead
With your palms upwards?

Well. Push my hands.

Fine. Just take the jacket on
And take space.

I will take a blood test,
And you must be in an MRI scanner.

- An MRI scanner?
- Just as a precaution.

There can be arranged nearby now and here.

Thats it. Then you're done.

What? Why do not you stop?

Do it again. Say it!

I would not think so either.

Hi, Susannah.

We have good news.
Your MRI scan did not show anything.

Now we know it's not
A stroke or a blood clot.

I was worried too.

But there's nothing to see.
It must be the most important.

Thanks.

Hi, that's me.
Will you let me in?

So ... I'm very tired.

We can do it another day.
I'll probably figure it out.

Susannah, I've been driving so far.
It suits me best now.

Here's a lot of mood.
I did not count on ...

What the hell is that
For a smell, Susannah?

Father, I said,
That here was dirty.

Here's the look of the Lord.

Susannah, what have you been up to?

It's Stephens.
I almost do not drink.

- Not the world.
- You have to get along.

You are grown now.
You no longer go to school.

I will also take care of my duties.
I have hardly any time, dad.

Let me look at leakage,
And then we clean together.

- Is this here?
- It's upstairs, Dad.

There is nothing wrong here.
It is dry. Now let me see.

It dripping.

It did it right now, Dad.

- Did not you?
- Susannah, it does not drip.

It dripping.

- Are you doing well at work?
- Yeah, that's fine enough.

Such is not the case here
Come to look again.

I prefer,
That you live clean and comfortable.

Well, him Stephen ...

- Are you really happy with him?
- Yes.

He's a good guy and I think ...

I think you will love him,
When you get to know him.

He's not just temporary?

"Guys often get rid of it.
- Just like you.

- Now I'm slipping.
- I love you. Drive safely.

- Buy some garbage bags.
- I'll do that.

Okay...

Susannah, he's ready. Senator.

Oh God! Okay...

- I am not ready.
- Breathe. It will be OK.

Good luck.

- Hi.
- It's good to meet you.

Good what do you want
What do you want to say about your actions?

And what do you want to say?
To the citizens of New Jersey?

I regret heartily,
what has happened.

- I have thrown the family from me.
- And you've thrown your pants.

Sorry, keep on going.
I'm sorry.

As said, the voters in New Jersey have
Impressed me and ...

Sorry, it sounded like "annoyed".

You must admit,
That it really sounded like that.

"Are you good, young lady?"
- Yes.

I'm fine. I regret.

- I have more questions ...
- This interview is over.

- No no!
- Imagine that Richard made it happen.

Is Richard behind this?
It's all fun.

Sit! I'm not done!
You are not allowed to go.

- Godfather ...
- Are you okay?

I'm fine.

The publishers who represent
The senator is not just for him.

They stand for well-known
And athletes and many more.

And all the people
Which we would like to talk to -

- Will not even take the phone
because of you.

It will be a problem for me,
For my boss and for this newspaper.

You should be fired.

Get away from here. Out now!

I really do not know.
She has behaved strangely -

-i about a week's time

Does she drink too much?
She seems to have hangover.

I do not think. But I do not know,
What she's doing with her boyfriend.

- Does she take drugs?
- No. Do you really think so?

- Now I ask you.
- I do not think.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

She does not behave normally,
But she does not take drugs.

Let me keep an eye on her.

Just a while.

Okay, but it will be like this.

Keep me informed, if so
Stays on, she works from home.

I do not know what happens.
I mean it.

- I understand that.
- Fine.

Susannah? Susannah?

Susannah, stop with
To speak in sleep.

Susannah, get up now.

Susannah.

Susannah? Susannah!

Susannah!

- Stephen ...
- What is it?

You have to get me out of here.
You need to help me.

- What?
- Get me out. I do not want to be here.

No, Susannah.
- Come on.

We do not go anywhere,
Before anyone has looked at you.

- Stephen, I do not care.
- You should not be.

If you do not want to help me,
What are you doing here?

- Did you get any explanation?
- No. They said it was an attack.

Why did not you call me?
- I did not have your number.

- It went so fast ...
- Did not you look in her phone?

Which idiot does not seem to look
In the phone under "mom and dad"?

I panicked and took my own.
The ambulance picked her up.

- What doctor looked at her?
- There was a nurse shown.

- Do you think it was a nurse?
- I do not know.

They just said,
That she had a seizure.

- That's all they ...
- What is wrong with you?

- Do you ever think of her?
Yes of course.

Thomas! Okay ... Do you know what?

Thank you for taking care of her.
Stop it.

Susannah, it's best,
If you take home with us.

It is very sweet of you,
But I report passports.

- It sounds like a good idea.
- Are you failing me at the moment?

- That's not it at all.
- Just dirty. You must have it hard.

Stephen, you should go home
And get a rest.

I can handle this.
I collect some of your things.

No, you should not collect anything,
Because I live here.

And here I decide.

- I do not want anywhere.
- Stephen.

If this happens again,
Then you should call me.

Of course.

- Where is your toothbrush?
- In the bathroom where it should be.

I love you.

Hi, Susannah! Come and talk to me!

Susannah, come here.

Tax?

What are you doing?

I swim, mom.
I only swim for a walk.

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 have to find a career,
That leads to something not?

I have to change myself.
I do it. Exactly.

No no...

No ... God, no. It's New York.

- It's New York. I'm unhappy.
- Funny, honey.

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...

Hello.

- Listen, Susannah ...
- What are you looking forward to?

Susannah, sit down.

I do not know why I cry.
I'm flat.

I've lost my job.
Stephen does not love me.

No one loves me! I'm lost.
I have nowhere to go.

Tax...

You are in the office now.
You have to fall down.

Taxes ...

- I'm so happy.
- honey

Margo, I'm so happy!
Now I know what to do!

Yes, bye!

Thats how it should be!
I'm so happy! Margo!

Richard! Richard! Yes!

Yes, Richard! Come here!
I want to talk with you! Yes!

Exactly! Goodbye. Come on, Richard.

This is not fun.
Back to work. Now.

Richard, we're gonna talk together.
- Okay, I'm coming now.

What are you doing?
I was sitting in a meeting.

I want bigger stories.
Better stories, Richard.

I want to be a hard-wearing
journalist. I'm ready for it.

Susannah, you scream at the office.
You're loosening.

- What is happening to you?
- I'm just upset, Richard.

Have you never seen anyone,
That was passionate and upset?

All your people are sitting and writing
On their computers -

- to make something,
But I do not want to.

Susannah, when did you speak?
Last with the family?

- What's up with the case?
- Have they seen you?

Richard, they support me.
Everybody supports me.

But I do not feel from you.
That is the question.

Do you support me like my family?
do it? As Margo does?

Or what?

Go home Then I support you.
I want you to go home.

- Are you firing me?
- No. I'll send you home.

Fine. Thanks for the talk.
Send me that email.

I would like
Susannah Cahalan's personal folder.

And her family's contact info.
Yes please.

- Sorry, will you repeat that?
- I'm bipolar.

- Why do you think that?
- I've googled it.

- Did you googlet it?
- Yes.

For two weeks I have not
Could think, eat or sleep

I smile, cry and laugh.
I'm happy and I'm sad.

But I'm a creative person, doctor.

I am creative,
And it affects creative types.

Many creative people are bipolar.

It's a part of me,
And I can only live with that.

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.

Now I'm printing olanzapine for you.

It is an antipsychotic agent
Against mood swings.

Take those pills
And let me know how it goes.

Then we'll talk about a month.

Why are you leaving me?

I beat it up.
That's not something I find.

Listen right now.
Do you want to hear the side effects?

"Euphoria, fever, malaise,
Soreness, headache -

"- hyperventilation, palpitations
And irritability. "Mother, that's it!

It makes me crazy!

Susannah, you've taken them for a day.

It does not matter, mom!
They are poisonous!

- Just take those pills.
- Do you want me to die?

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.

It's violent. Very scary.

Okay.

- Susannah? We have to eat now.
- It is a lovely day.

There is a beautiful outside.

Do you want juice or water?

Are you okay?

Sit down now.

Do you want bread?

Thanks.

- Butter?
- No. No thank you.

Stop.

Stop chewing.

Do not you want anything?
It is your favorite dish.

Giselle really has
Struggling with the meal.

There was nothing to talk about.

What were you just saying to me?

- I did not say anything.
- She did not say anything to you.

Right now. Now you said it again.
You called me a spoiled mommy.

- No I...
- And again! She said it again!

Why are you so kind to me?
- What are you talking about?

I have not done anything to you.
Why did you say that?

I heard it myself!
Why did you tell me?

- Susannah, into your room!
- I heard it!

What is wrong with you?

- What's wrong? Say it.
- No no no!

- Get away from me!
- Otherwise, I can not help you!

Stay away!

Giselle wants to kidnap me!

- Nobody wants to kidnap you.
- Do not touch me.

Do not touch me.

It will be OK.

Listen, her EEG looks quite normal.

MR scan and it
Neurological examination is fine.

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.

Not tomorrow but now. I do not go,
Before she has got a bed -

- which we can put her in.
Just call the police.

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.

Susannah, now I'm asking you
Some simple questions.

You must answer them as well as you can.

- What is your name?
- Susannah Cahalan.

- Do you know what year this is?
- God, can you hear that? The.

Susannah, you have to concentrate
And answer my questions.

- You have to get me out of here. Now!
- Susannah ...

Susannah, we are trying to help you.

We will not hurt you.
I promise.

- Do not touch me.
- Okay.

Hold your arms out
As if you're on a hill.

Nope. I do not want to anymore.

- Why are you inquiring me?
- I do not, Susannah.

- Out! Out of my room.
- Okay.

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.

- What is due to this honor?
- I need your help.

I'm teaching now.
Leave me alone.

A 21-year-old woman. Right handed.

The symptoms began with mania,
Paranoia and sudden outbursts.

It led to an attack,
And then two more.

Her condition worsens
day by day.

Sabrina, I'm teaching now.

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...

If we will join
New York City Marathon This Year -

- then it's going to be pukles through,
My girl

Do not finally get up to work.

Because you are for sure
Not any comedian.

Your personality
Has been returned.

- Come on baby. You can.
- I should learn from scratch again.

I should learn to go again,
To talk again, smile -

- and being a daughter.

To love Stephen again.

Writing.

I should learn to exist again.

How are you doing?
- I feel good.

I still have medicine,
But I'm fine.

I read your first article,
Since you came

- Stop. It's not that good.
- Leave it now.

Do not put words in my mouth.
It's really good.

Better than ever.
Congratulations on your first page two.

- Oh boy.
- It's big, is not it?

Jo. Thanks.

I want something else from you.

You must tell your story.
From end to end.

People in New York must know,
What you've been through

You must write an article
From your own angle.

It's hard to write about yourself,
But you should consider it.

So... why not?

Do you think so?

Yes. If it can help others.

- Exactly.
- That's worth it.

It will take some time
To gather on the story, but...

Take a good time.

As long as I have it on Friday.

You will have it on Thursday evening. Do not worry.

Thanks, Susannah!

Are you okay?
- Yes. I'm fine.

I was used to the questions about
My rare and fascinating disease.

- But I had not put a word on it.
- Are you sure?

Margo? I've never had better.

Fine.
Stop talking to me.

The new Susannah is very similar
The old susannah.

But she is far stronger.

For the first time -

- Is ready to attack
The question of what happened.

I will find an answer.

An answer that may end
Saving a human life.

Susannah Cahalan was number 217
With diagnosis of cerebral inflammation.

Since then, thousands have been diagnosed.

Susannah's book has helped people the world
Over to the right treatment.

Dr. Souhel Najjar is still a doctor
And has opened a clinic -

- that treats
Autoimmune brain disorders.

He and Susannah
Are still close friends.

Susannah disseminates knowledge
To the disease -

-in his capacity as an author

In 2015 she married Stephen,
Her favorite musician.
