Woman:
Tavi, I can't believe
you just did that.
Tavi:
Well, he--I told you!
(slaps)
Stacy:
All right, forget it.
We're going.
Come on, Elexa,
let's go.
(girl crying)
Woman:
You haveto maintain yourself.
Tavi:
Don't ever bring
your son here.
(crying continues)
Shut up!
(crying)
Hey!
I'm upset! I'm upset!
I don't care!
You don't hit her!
Really!
No, 'cause you don't know
what the f*ck is why!
Damn it!
Stop it!
(crying continues)
Stop!
Now!
Ow. Stop.
'Cause I'm not
in a good mood...
Okay!
...is the hell why.
(screams)
Stop! Stop.
Oh my God. Elexa!
Damn it, Ethan, knock it--
knock it off now. Now!
No, don't. No, Ethan!
Why don't you guys get
the f*ck outta here, dumbass!
I'll kick your ass!
Shh! God damn it. Stop.
Stacy:
...hit the chair with?
Ethan:
Shut up!(Elexa crying)
Stacy:
What did you
do that for?
Stop!
Ethan:
I'm upset!
Okay. You can be angry
at Uncle Tavi.
You don't need
to be angry at Elexa.
Ethan:
Because I'm not
Stacy:
Okay, but she didn't
do anything--
Ethan:
I'm not in a fricking
asshole mood!
(crying)

Liza Long:
I'd been trying for years
to get help for my son.
I... I was desperate,
and I thought
I was the only mother
in the entire world
who felt the way I did,
the only mom.
How can I not get
my child help?
Surely all the other mothers
Why not me?
What's wrong with me?
Creigh Deeds:
You know, I used
to worry that--
that Gus was gonna wind up
at a jail or a hospital
or-- or homeless.
Um, all of those
would be preferable
to the situation I'm in now.
If a state senator,
um, someone who's run
for governor,
whose name's
been in every paper
of the commonwealth--
if I can't get the help,
what does that say
about ordinary people?
We don't treat
mental illness the way
and so the care
is just not available.
(Elexa crying)
(crying continues)
Stacy:
All right.
Thomas Insel:
Somebody once said that
affects somebody you love.
And in a way,
there's something to that.
I'm not
in a good mood!
Thomas:
For peoplewho have serious mental illness
and who are not treated,
there's a tendency
to violence,
especially towards the people
that they're closest to
and, most of all,
towards themselves.
And only about half
of the children who have
a mental disorder
are going to receive
any kind of care whatsoever.
(rain pattering)
All I get is people
that want to just sit there
and lecture me.
I need to do this.
"Do you understand that
your son's gonna do this
and that your son is this way?
Do you understand?"
As if I'm in denial
of something,
as if I might be able
to get some extra help,
but I'm just not wanting to.
And it is so frustrating
and so exhausting.
I can only stick
to my guns so far, Tavi,
because it becomes
too dangerous,
and that is why you're right.
Giving in to him in the end--
in the end
isn't the best idea,
because it does make him
more manipulative
and more worse.
Yes, but not giving into him
when he's really persistent
is also just as dangerous.
And that is why
the behaviorist already said
that he doesn't believe that--
anything I can do at this point,
he doesn't believe
there are any consequence--
he doesn't believe
I can do anything, myself,
at this point.
You think that--
Tavi, you think that,
but I hate to say it,
you think that,
but it isn't same.
You can train a dog easier
that a child like this.
