2.10 "Noel" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Josh Lyman

Many of Josh's friends noticed that his behavior was a little erratic so they called in a psychiatrist to come and help him. Josh's odd behavior was due to his being shot during the season one finale of "The West Wing." The biggest issue, with Josh was how he cut his hand. Josh said he accidentally dropped a glass but it was revealed he cut his hand when he slammed it into a window and the window broke.

Answer: Stanley Keyworth

The psychiatrist that helped out Josh was named Dr. Stanley Keyworth. When he went to meet with Josh, he brought a graduate student of psychology along with him to observe his meeting with Josh. Josh told Dr. Keyworth he had no problem with the graduate student being there but he also told the doctor he felt like he did not have a problem. Dr. Keyworth informed Josh he was there to see if Josh had a problem.

Answer: San Francisco

When Dr. Keyworth came to see Josh, he told him that he was from San Francisco. After Dr. Keyworth ended his first session with Josh, he told him he would continue to treat Josh and that he would not immediately fly back to San Francisco. Dr. Keyworth made more appearances in episodes of "The West Wing."

Answer: False

When Stanley Keyworth first introduced himself, to Josh, he told Josh he was from the American Trauma Victims Association (known as ATVA). Keyworth explained what ATVA did and Josh said he knew what they did since he was the Deputy Chief of Staff to the President of the United States. ATVA is not a real group.

Answer: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Dr. Stanley Keyworth told Josh that he had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a result of being shot. PTSD is a mental disorder, characterized by the person having nightmares and flashbacks via certain triggers to a certain trauma in his/her life that unsettles them. People can suffer from PTSD in many ways, such as from surviving a rape, being involved in a natural catastrophe, witnessing a serious crime, childhood abuse, etc.

A common misconception is that all people who have PTSD get it from serving in combat. An example of a trigger associated with PTSD is if someone that was involved in Hurricane Katrina sees a weather report of a hurricane striking a state like Florida. Seeing that kind of weather report is likely to cause that person to have nightmares and flashbacks of the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

Answer: True

Dr. Keyworth saw that Josh was in denial about having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder since Josh felt he could not make a diagnosis after just a short period of time. Dr. Keyworth informed Josh that he made his diagnosis in just five minutes since Josh displayed many symptoms of the disorder. Dr. Keyworth told Josh that one of the triggers associated with his PTSD caused him to cut his hand when he broke it through a window and that helped him get to a diagnosis.

Answer: Pizza

Josh really liked Dr. Keyworth and wanted to treat him to pizza. Dr. Keyworth told Josh that he appreciated the offer but that he really had to get back to San Francisco. Before Dr. Keyworth left, Josh made sure he would get another session with him. Dr. Keyworth appeared in several subsequent episodes of "The West Wing."

Answer: Musical display in The White House

When Josh told Dr. Keyworth about what happened, in the past couple of weeks, he mentioned how he became agitated when he heard a musical display that was in The White House for the holiday season. Dr. Keyworth realized this triggered his memories of being shot in Rosslyn. Dr. Keyworth told Josh that seeing and hearing the musical display reminded Josh of the police and ambulance sirens on the night that he was shot.
