- Thanks.

- Everything alright?

- I'm not very experienced.

You don't have to smoke.

Let's go inside.

- Thank you for letting me come.

- You're welcome.

It's great of you to come.

It's always nice meeting Anye's friends.

Have you been here before?

No, I haven't.

It's beautiful.

I think we're supposed to go over here.

- Look. Have some to eat.

- What's that?

It's a food bar.

- I don't want chocolate.

- You haven't eaten anything.

It's ok. I don't need to.

Why couldn't Daniel come?

- We broke up.

- Sh*t! What happend?

Don't tell mom.

She loved him.

- Are you ok?

- I'm fine.

Lord, take it away from me. Get rid of these thoughts.

Take them...

- Long day?

- Yes.

Are you able to get some rest

when you get home?

Yes.

Are you cooking food every day,

or do you eat out?

I'm mostly cooking at home.

What have you been eating today?

I made some vegetable soup.

Are you shopping down there?

Yes.

What is it, Thelma?

Nothing.

I can tell when there's something wrong.

I...

I...

You can tell me anything.

It's important that you do.

I've been drinking alcohol.

And I'm very sorry.

How much?

Two beers, with a couple of friends from the university.

Was that on the same

day you didn't call until late in the evening?

Yes.

Yes.

It's probably alright.

You're a grown up now.

You have to experience things.

One beer doesn't hurt.

Be careful not to lose touch

with who you really are.

I know that.

- I'm not.

- Lot's of people drink too much.

It's easy to lose control.

Yes.

- I'm really sorry.

- It's alright.

It's alright, Thelma.

Don't worry about it.

I'm glad you told me.

- Try to get some sleep.

- Yes.

- Ok. Talk to you later.

- Yes, we'll do.

- Bye.

- Bye.

The power that overcame death

lives on in those who believe in him.

The tomb is empty,

Jesus lives

in honor and power.

Death is forever beneath him.

The tomb is empty,

Jesus lives...

Hello! Come inside.

Hey.

There you go.

- Sorry, do you want something else?

- No, I'm good.

Are you sure? Cool!

- Hey.

- Hey.

- You're drinking?

- Yes.

Where have you been?

Did you not get my messages?

I did, sorry. There's been a lot

going on lately. I forgot.

I'm sorry I had to leave. Could you

tell your mom I had a good time?

I'll do that.

- Are you ok?

- Yes, why?

Did you arrive here with Kristoffer?

Yes, we walked together.

Ok.

Hey!

I'm not having any.

- There's lots of people here not smoking.

- She knows that.

I'm leaving.

Inhale it into your lungs.

Oh, sh*t.

- Do you feel anything?

- Perhaps a little bit.

That's good. What?

One more time.

Now I feel something.

- Yeah?

- You're wasted.

Is this common?

Yes.

Hey!

Hello?

I'm just messing with you.

There's no weed, only tobacco.

Get it? They're idiots.

- Yes, they were joking.

- Yes, we messed around.

- It got out of hand.

- Did you think that was cool?

No, it wasn't cool, but...

Oh, sh*t.

- Are you alright?

- Sorry.

The scan we just did rule out brain tumor.

I'll be sending you to an epilepsy clinic.

We'll have to measure your brain activity

during a sizure in order to diagnose you.

- Why?

- They've got room for you.

They're able to monitor you over a longer period of time.

I'm sitting here with your journal.

It says you had a seizure when you were six years old.

It was diagnosed as a nervous breakdown.

Are you sure about that?

It says that you were put on

antipsychotics afterwards -

-for irregular sleepwake rhythm.

- I didn't know that.

- They gave you Nozinan.

Nozinan is a very powerful drug

for a child.

Yes.

Apart from that, there's very little here.

Almost nothing.

My dad is a doctor,

so he always took care of things.

- You're dad is a doctor?

- Yeah, a general practitioner.

You should ask him about this then.

- He'll probably be able to explain it to you.

- Ok.

Mom?

Yes.

Not right now, Thelma.

Can't you see that he's eating?

You!

Go downstairs and draw something, ok?

There you go.

Mattias?

Mattias!

Where's Mattias?

Did you take him? Don't do that.

Where did you put him?

- I don't know.

- Tell me where you put him.

Tell me where you put him, Thelma!

Thelma, where did you put him?

Quiet. Trond!

Trond! He's here!

Be careful. Yes.

One more time. Could you open your eyes?

Breathe in and out.

Good!

Could you close your eyes?

Open up your eyes,

then breathe a bit faster.

Breathe in.

Notice how you're filling up your lungs.

Keep it in. And breathe.

Good.

We're ready to begin.

To provoke a seizure,

we have to -

- go to some rather unpleasant

places.

If it gets too uncomfortable,

just say so.

Ok.

How are you now, leading up to the exams?

Are you stressed?

Yes, quite so.

It's alright for you to answer.

You may also nod or shake your head.

Think about the things I'm asking you,

and let the thoughts come to you.

You said you had a breakdown

as a child.

When you were six.

Do you remember any of it?

Do you remember anything about

your parents from back then?

- It must have been difficult for you.

- Yes. No, I don't remember much.

You moved to the city

not long ago.

Have you gotten any friends?

What about boys?

If this is painful, try not

to block it.

Is there someone in particular?

Perhaps it's not a boy?

Close your eyes.

Breathe a bit faster.

Faster. Good.

Breathe even faster.

Hello?

Hello?

Open your eyes.

Watch the light.

Breathe faster. That's good.

I can tell you're thinking about something painfull.

Don't ignore it. Reach into it.

Go deeper.

Breathe faster.

Breathe in and out.

Lord, take it away from me. Get rid of these thoughts.

Take it away from me.

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

I'm forwarding a bit here.

Watch this. Nothing happens.

If it was epilepsy,

there would've been a significant change.

So it's not epilepsy?

No, it's not.

What is it then?

What is happening to me?

It fits with so-called non-epileptic seizures.

Ok?

These seizures could be the result

of something else.

The body reacts to something being repressed.

- I don't understand.

- It could be because of stress.

It could be some sort of trauma.

Lots of different things.

But I've been looking a bit at

the genetic systems.

Your grandma had a history of

mental health problems.

- Are you saing that I'm mentally ill?

- Not at all.

- Am I crazy, like grandma?

- No...

Calm down.

I'm not sure what she suffered from.

But she was admitted for a long period of time.

You probably know more about that

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.
