:30:00
Do you understand the consequences
of these proceedings?
:30:04
Yes, I do. I am facing involuntary
commitment to a mental hospital...
:30:09
with indeterminate release.
:30:11
Attorney, you may proceed.
:30:13
- Please state your name.
- Dr. Elizabeth Bowen.
:30:16
And Dr. Bowen, are you board-certified
to practice in this state?
:30:20
Yes, I am.
:30:22
Why do you think Mr. Jones should be
on a hold?
:30:25
I believe that he is suffering from
bipolar manic-depressive disorder...
:30:29
and he's currently in a manic cycle.
:30:31
What behaviours or attitudes can
you report to support this assumption?
:30:34
Two incidents.
:30:36
In the first, he had to be restrained
on a roof for his own safety...
:30:41
after claiming he was going to fly.
:30:44
It's actually, it was a fairly creative act,
if you keep your mind open.
:30:47
Okay, all right. Sorry.
:30:50
In the second, he was brought to us
by the police...
:30:53
after disrupting a symphony orchestra.
:30:55
Excuse me, is the original conductor
here also?
:30:58
Mr. Jones, please.
You'll have an opportunity to respond.
:31:02
Thank you. Thank you very much,
Your Honour.
:31:04
Continue, Dr. Bowen.
:31:06
I think that his judgement is impaired
and that he is a danger to himself.
:31:11
In what way?
:31:12
The manic state is usually followed
by depression.
:31:15
What are the symptoms of depression?
:31:19
Hopelessness. Despair.
:31:23
The inability to experience pleasure,
the inability to function.
:31:29
Mr. Jones?
:31:34
"Despair". "Hopelessness".
:31:38
"The inability to experience pleasure".
:31:42
Now, Doctor...
:31:45
are these words and phrases that come...
:31:47
spontaneously to you
when you look at me?
:31:49
Are they? I don't think so.
:31:52
I deeply respect Dr. Bowen.
She is a wonderful doctor.
:31:56
I respect her and her advice,
but I graciously say no.
