than I do.

No, I don't. She died a long time ago.

That's strange.

It says here that...

She was admitted to Hellersmo in 2016.

The point is that further examinations

were done by a psychiatrist.

- That can't be right.

- It is.

It says here that she was admitted

to Hellersmo during the spring in 2016.

That's the latest one.

A psychiatrist will examine you from now on.

You'll be able to discuss these things

in further detail.

Psychological non-epileptic seizures is a

very misunderstood disorder.

She's having a grand mal.

For 3,000 years, people believed it was something supernatural.

That you were being invaded -

- or posessed by witches

who punished the sick.

The word "seizure" means being

posessed by external powers, -

- either gods or demons, depending

on what century they were living in.

Hello?

Grandma?

It's Thelma.

Trond's daughter.

Hey, it's Thelma.

She's been like this for years.

I don't think she knows we're here.

She used to be more lucent,

but then the delusions were stronger.

I think the medications she's on

is too strong.

What kind of delusions?

She took it pretty hard when

her husband disappeared.

- What happend?

- They never found his body, only the boat.

She thought it was somehow her fault.

She was awfully confused.

When she got cancer,

she thought she had given it to her herself.

- What do you mean?

- Well, she meant...

That she made things happen.

I told your dad the last time he came by

that the drugs were too strong.

He didn't seem too concerned.

Hei, it's Anja. Please leave a message.

...pretty clear. Apply the algebra for n-tuples to all values of n.

But then there's these

two and three-dimensional interpretations...

Something happend. I had a seizure.

I don't know what's going on. A girl...

What? What's going on?

A girl has disappeared.

And I know that it's my fault.

I can't stop thinking about it.

I know it's my fault.

Can I come home?

Of course you can, sweetheart.

Ok.

I know that it's been costing you a lot of money

for me not having to work during my studies.

- I'm sorry it turned out this way.

- You can graduate another time.

Don't worry about it.

What's wrong with you then?

I've been having these seizures,

epileptic seizures.

- But it's something else.

- Psychological seizures?

Yes.

I had a patient who were diagnosed

with that a few years ago.

- Ok?

- It turned out fine.

Drink your tea.

Don't worry about it.

The doctors says it could be stress,

but I don't know. I don't really understand.

Are you alright?

Yes.

I'm just tired.

Don't be scared.

We gave you something to calm you down.

We know what's happening to you, Thelma.

We'll help you.
