Doctor Saves Woman From Committing the Unthinkable | Chicago Med

Suicide isn't unthinkable at all. For some people it is all they ever think about.

Man deserves his own show

It's a shame that for most people who're at that point in their life, this isn't the reality they face when they're getting 'help'.

Doctor Charles is the reason i'm watching Chicago med, he's truly amazing

"recognizing that this happened in the past and processing it are two different things" is why I can openly talk about all my problems to random people but not my family, who was involved and did nothing to help me when I needed to heal

when she described a "normal life", i related so much that i started tearing up

I feel so sorry for Dr. Charles, he tried so hard to help her before it went too far

all we need is a hug, someone to talk to, and a hand to help us out.

I think the reason why Dr. Charles is so good at his job is because he didn't let his trauma in his life destroy his empathy, he used it to strengthen his empathy and to fuel his compassion. That's what makes a truly great mental health professional. We all have trauma in our lives in one way or another and to be able to deal with other people's trauma day in day out takes a certain kind of person.

I would genuinely watch an entire show that is just Dr Charles helping people.

I love that they show this situation happening with a grown woman. It often feels like this is a "Teenager issue" and going through this as an adult means there's something wrong with you... at least that's how I felt... It took me a long time to feel comfortable letting people around help me. The people around me had to tell me that there's nothing to be ashamed of. That it wasn't just teenager stuff. That it's not my choice. That I have nothing to be ashamed of. It took me a while to let them in, but I'm very grateful to have felt supported during that time.

The same balcony Dr. Wheeler jumped off :(

Dr. Charles is such a great and smart person

I love Dr Charles so freaking much 😭

She represented society now, most strangers nowadays just don't want to be settled out by a shrink. Leading to them doing exactly what she did in this show. Sometimes someone thinks that it's a waste of time or even a hassle to even think about talking to a shrink. But it's later realized that even a small talk with someone is enough to help them.

Dr Charles is such an amazing person and doctor. His compassion always shines in through

As someone with depression, this really hits home. Sometimes i wonder just how i make it through the day

Been in a depression for the past 15 years, finally decided to let the better of me accept I need help it'll take years but it's normal when you truly try and change a full character to its former self cause after this long of duration depression roots alot deeper and feels like a part of you

Dr Charles did very well keeping the professional distance, it's important in any case but in particular in cases like this, even if you know the distance makes the patient suffer or become angry.

doctors in films or tv : "i'll be right there!" psychs/doctors irl : " it's after 4.30pm, am finished now. there's always the e.d."
