what the psychiatrist said bergman? I don't understand

[jellyfishermann]

@BlarVarlen the psychiatrist said that bergman was extremely healthy, so he did not fix nothing really.

Fascinating that he was judged 100% healthy by a psychiatrist. I've read his autobiography (written after his breakdown in the mid-seventies subsequent to this interview), and he says that he realised he did have emotional problems all this time, but that he was simply so good at coping with them that he was superficially indistinguishable from someone who was 'healthy'.

Thank you so much for sharing, I very much appreciate it.

Very human for such a legend. I love the way he carries a casual conversation, especially when talking of his experience with the psychiatrist.
