Assistant Village Idiot: YouTube Diagnostics

YouTube apparently has even more uses than I suspected:

A first for me. I often look up patients new to the MH system on the web to see what I can learn about them. The paranoid, angry, psychotic young woman we admitted this morning posted several videos of herself on YouTube two weeks ago. I don't know when the videos were actually made, however. She was friendly and laughing then, except the last two have an eerie edge.

Things like this are going to become more common, and more helpful to us. I hope they are helpful to her as well.

Does this mean in the future my doctors will pour through my twitters and facebook updates, looking for possible symptoms?
