Dr. Drew Pinsky joins Tudor Dixon for a wide-ranging conversation about the Lindsay Clancy case, postpartum psychosis, psychiatric medications, addiction, marijuana, Adderall, GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, and what he sees as major failures in America’s mental health care system. Dr. Drew breaks down the complicated medical questions surrounding Lindsay Clancy, including her psychiatric treatment, extensive medication history, and the critical difference between postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis. He explains why he believes the case raises serious questions about continuity of care, psychiatric prescribing, and whether patients with severe mental illness are receiving the intensive treatment they actually need. Tudor and Dr. Drew also examine America’s reliance on prescription medications, including benzodiazepines and Adderall, as well as the role childhood trauma can play in ADHD and addiction. Dr. Drew reflects on his experience treating patients during the prescription opioid epidemic and explains how aggressive opioid prescribing helped fuel the addiction crisis that eventually gave way to heroin and fentanyl. The conversation then turns to Hollywood and the struggles of former child stars, including Amanda Bynes, as Dr. Drew discusses the psychological toll childhood acting can have and the relationship between trauma, addiction, mental illness, and substance abuse. Plus, Dr. Drew sounds the alarm about increasingly potent marijuana and its potential connection to psychosis, bipolar illness, and cannabis hyperemesis syndrome. He also shares his concerns about the explosive popularity of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, including potentially serious side effects and what he describes as a troubling new form of body dysmorphia. It’s a candid conversation about mental health, addiction, modern medicine, and whether America has become too quick to reach for a prescription instead of addressing the underlying problem.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Erica Gerard tried to find the right antidepressant for over two decades, one where the benefits outweighed the side effects. Finally, she decided to get off her medication. What followed was a harrowing journey she was not prepared for. On this episode, what people should consider before quitting. We also explore whether new tools could help doctors better match patients with medications. Journalist Erica Gerard was first prescribed Prozac in college after years of feeling sad, lonely and disconnected from her peers. The medication helped — but it also left her constantly exhausted and feeling as though she was watching her own life from behind a screen. After more than two decades, she decided she wanted to stop taking the medication. She documented her journey for The Pulse, and what she learned about tapering off safely. A new federal initiative aimed at getting Americans off antidepressants has put a spotlight on this issue. Psychiatrist Jonathan Slater joins us to discuss the complexities of de-prescribing these medications. He says there's a lack of training and guidelines for tapering off safely, adding that the process requires individualized, monitored care with psychological support.  When a mental health issue made it impossible for British author Madeline Dyer to focus on her writing career, a physician suggested she should try an antidepressant. She was reluctant to give it a shot, fearing it would make her less creative. The medication ended up helping her a lot, but she says it impacted her genre of choice.

Thirteen psychiatric drugs. Seven prescribers. Four months. Three dead children. Everyone knows what Lindsay Clancy did. Almost nobody knows what was done to her first. Her husband told them the drugs were making her worse. A hospital team wrote it in her chart. She said it herself, over and over, in her own words, in writing. There is a note in that record explaining why nobody listened. One phrase. It is the reason this keeps happening, and once you hear it you will not be able to unhear it. Dr. Roger McFillin lays out the timeline and the question nobody is asking in that court room. 

⚠️ This episode discusses antidepressants, mental health treatment, withdrawal and sensitive topics around psychiatric medication. Please seek professional guidance before making any changes to your medication.This week I'm joined by Dr Mark Horowitz, clinical research fellow in psychiatry, co-author of the Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines, and one of the most important voices in the world right now on antidepressants and how to come off them safely.We explore the science behind antidepressants, what they actually do to the brain, and what nobody told you about coming off them.Dr Mark Horowitz is a clinical research fellow at University College London and North East London NHS Foundation Trust. He co-authored the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines, which have begun to change clinical guidance on antidepressant withdrawal worldwide. His research on tapering and withdrawal has been published in leading medical journals and has directly influenced NHS and international prescribing guidelines. He founded the National Prescribing Support Service and has trained clinicians at Outro Health in America in safer tapering approaches. He has personal experience of antidepressant withdrawal, which led him to dedicate his career to helping others through the same process.What we explore together:Why 1 in 6 people in England are on antidepressants — and whether we are overprescribingWhat antidepressants actually do to the brain and why the chemical imbalance theory is misleadingWhy the clinical trial data on antidepressants is far less impressive than most people realiseThe emotional blunting effect — what it is, why it happens and what to do about itWhy 85% of people recover from depression within 12 months with no intervention at allWhat withdrawal actually feels like — and why doctors so often get it wrongHow to taper safely and why doing it too fast causes so much unnecessary sufferingWhat the alternatives to antidepressants are and why they are rarely offered firstLove, Sarah Ann

Professor Emma Schymanski reveals what water carries, why bottled may offer no advantage, and how our daily choices flow back into every glass. We turn on a tap, fill a glass, make a cup of tea (many cups, in my case) dozens of times a day without thinking twice. But our water carries traces of everything around it: the medication we take, the cosmetics we wear, even the flame retardants in our sofas. Some of it is monitored closely. Some of it we're only just learning to detect. And water, of course, doesn't stop at a border. To unpack all of this, I sat down with Prof. Emma Schymanski, Head of Environmental Cheminformatics at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine, University of Luxembourg, and an FNR ATTRACT Fellow. Her work combines chemical detective work with high resolution mass spectrometry to find chemicals hiding in water that nobody knew to look for, and to trace them back to their source. The Water Cycle Ignores Borders Water moves the way weather does: without any concern for what is a political border. Rain falls, rivers carry it across countries, and it sinks into groundwater that doesn't recognise a map. For Luxembourg, sitting downstream of its neighbours, that means inheriting chemical traces long before they reach a Luxembourg tap. Even in the Alps, even in Antarctica, contamination that starts on one continent eventually cycles back down in rainwater on another. Your Water's Fingerprint When people hear "water contamination," pesticides usually come to mind first. But that's a small part of the picture. Emma's team also finds pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, flame retardants, anti icing agents and dyes, everyday traces of everyday life. During the pandemic, her team watched caffeine levels in wastewater drop as the working population stayed home, and medical imaging dyes vanish almost entirely as routine cancer diagnostics paused. Antidepressant levels rise every winter. Antihistamines spike every spring. The Detective Work So how do you find a chemical when you don't know it's there? Emma's team runs water samples through mass spectrometry and looks for anomalies: a signal spiking above baseline, or one that suddenly disappears (in one case, tracing back to a factory shutting down for a six week holiday). It's forensic work, applied to a glass of water. That same technique now underpins wastewater epidemiology, used across Europe to trace drug use, and even, in one memorable case, to work out how drugs were getting into a prison. Tap Water vs Bottled Water Now here's a way to save money and perhaps stress. Emma's own research compared tap and bottled water across Luxembourg and found no statistically significant difference between them. The only real difference was between filtered and unfiltered tap water, and even filtering introduced its own new, if fewer, unknowns. She drinks from the tap herself, no filter at home. Even reverse osmosis, often floated as the ultimate fix, has a catch. It strips out almost everything, including the minerals your body needs, meaning treated water then has to have things added back in. "If you're drinking snow only, it won't quench your thirst, because it will actually start to strip the salt from your body," Emma explained. What You Can Actually Do This isn't a call to panic. It's a case for informed, small choices: Let the tap run cold for a couple of minutes before drinking, especially in older buildings, to clear water that's been sitting in the pipes. Favour metal, ceramic or glass over soft plastics for reusable bottles and cups. Don't assume "eco" means chemical free. Some paper straws are treated with solvents to stop them going soggy. Wash new clothing before wearing it. The New Frontier: Data Centres AI and water is a massive discussion right now. Emma noted that the cooling systems have their own knock on contamination risks.

After 22 years on antidepressants—escalating from a quarter dose to maximum doses of multiple medications—Dr. Noushin Hart hit a wall: her psychiatrist said he had nothing else to offer. Instead of accepting that as an ending, she embarked on a journey revealing the real root of her depression: 30 years of untreated childhood trauma and a nervous system locked in survival mode. This episode explores why the serotonin hypothesis misses the full picture, why repeating trauma stories in talk therapy can re-traumatize you, and how somatic approaches process trauma in the body without requiring you to relive it—leading to genuine healing without medication dependency. You'll learn the neuroscience behind why your HPA axis and nervous system dysregulation matter more than serotonin levels, hear about alternatives like transcranial magnetic stimulation and plant medicine, and discover how saffron offers natural mood support. Whether you're stuck on antidepressants, skeptical of talk therapy alone, or searching for integrative solutions, Dr. Hart's story and practical insights offer both hope and a clear path forward.Dr. Noushin Hart shares her 22-year journey from antidepressant dependency to somatic healing, revealing why conventional psychiatry missed the trauma-informed approach her body needed. This conversation examines the limitations of the serotonin model, the re-traumatization trap of repetitive talk therapy, and the nervous-system science behind why body-based modalities create lasting transformation.Key takeaways:• Antidepressants work for acute depression but long-term chronic use leads to tolerance, escalating doses, and side effects that mirror original symptoms—making it impossible to distinguish depression from medication effects.• Depression frequently roots in unprocessed childhood trauma and nervous system dysregulation (HPA axis), not serotonin deficiency alone; the body keeps score for decades.• Repetitive talk therapy—retelling trauma stories over and over—can re-traumatize the nervous system; somatic approaches that process trauma at the body level without re-narration create safer, faster healing.• The sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight) can remain dominantly activated for 30+ years due to childhood trauma; somatic work restores parasympathetic balance and safety.• Dependency on practitioners or modalities signals unhealthy treatment; true healing empowers you with self-directed tools so you become your own healer.• Natural alternatives like saffron show strong evidence for mood support, insomnia, and concentration—offering a gentler starting point or complement to other interventions.• Being told 'there's nothing else to offer you' reflects a practitioner's limitation, not your capacity to heal; seek modalities and practitioners that fit your nervous system's needs.Resources mentioned:• MAP (somatic trauma processing modality)• Plant medicine protocols for trauma and depression• Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)• Saffron (clinical evidence for mood, insomnia, and concentration)• Dr. Gabor Maté (trauma framework and nervous system science)• HPA axis regulation and polyvagal theory• Somatic and energy-based healing approachesLinks mentioned:• Heart to Heart Cancer Consultants —https://h2hcc.com/• Healing by Hart — https://healingbyhart.com/

For decades, millions have been told depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. But what if that story isn't supported by the evidence?Former FDA medical officer and psychiatrist Dr Josef Witt-Doerring joins us to challenge some of the biggest assumptions surrounding antidepressants. We discuss SSRIs, overprescription, withdrawal, the lack of long-term data, and why he believes modern mental health care has become too dependent on medication instead of addressing the root causes of suffering.PATREON Support The Hard Yarns and get access to exclusive drops, content, live shows and promo codes : www.patreon.com/thehardyarnspodcast FIND US Email: info@thehardyarns.com Instagram: @thehardyarnspodcast YouTube: https://youtube.com/@thehardyarnspodcastTikTok: @thehardyarnspodcast Web: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.thehardyarns.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ SPONSORS All Trades Cover - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.alltradescover.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Crafted Finance - https://www.craftedfinance.com.auHard Yarns is Produced by B32media ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#hardyarns⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#comedy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 

Have you or someone you loved considered taking antidepressants for mental health, but had concerns? Listen in as Dr. Andrew Novick talks about the research and the science behind these drugs and other options for those struggling with MDD and other mental health concerns.    In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Andrew Novick discuss major depressive disorder (MDD) and its treatment options. Dr. Novick explains the key characteristics of MDD and discusses some of the many treatment options, which include psychotherapy, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy, and pharmacological interventions like SSRIs. He highlights the effectiveness of esketamine for treatment-resistant MDD, and also addresses the controversy surrounding SSRIs and the potential of new treatments like psilocybin, noting ongoing research and regulatory challenges.    Key Takeaways: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) can begin in childhood, but can often show up as irritability rather than other traditional depressive symptoms that we would see in adults. It's also more common to see it manifest during puberty, rather than before. Treating MDD does not require starting with psychotherapy. Medication can help more immediately, especially because there is an obstacle to accessible therapy for a lot of people. It can also be a tool used in tandem with therapy.  While there are no blood tests or simple diagnostic tests to see if you have depression, like with an infectious disease model, there are some brain scans that can show signs of depression, especially across wide populations of individuals.  There is no one gene that is associated with MDD. However, through research, many different genes have been identified, often related to brain function and stress response.    "If depression goes untreated, the most awful consequence of that is potential suicide." —  Dr. Andrew Novick   Connect with Dr. Andrew Novick: Professional Bio: https://som.cuanschutz.edu/Profiles/Faculty/Profile/29109  ResearchGate:  https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Andrew-Novick  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/annovick    Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Matt Walsh, the conservative commentator from the Daily Wire, set the internet on fire this week with a thread about therapy. The people defending him and the people attacking him are making the same mistake. Dr. McFillin's honest verdict on what's true, what's reckless, and the questions nobody thought to ask. Nobody is going to like all of it.

There is nothing wrong with antidepressants. Anti-Depressants Are So Not A Big Deal. Given all the barriers to access and stigma, it is more likely that there are people out there that would benefit from but are not taking these medication than people taking them when they don't have to.-o-www.everythingispublichealth.comBluesky Social: @everythingisPHMastodon: @everythingispublichealth Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com    Photo credit:Photo by Alexander Grey on UnsplashSupport the show

Most of us assume antidepressants are there to help. For many people, they do.But for Erik Peers, the experience was very different.In this deeply personal conversation, Erik shares how he was prescribed antidepressants during a stressful period in his life, despite believing he wasn't depressed. What followed was nearly ten years of medication, repeated attempts to stop, severe withdrawal, and a growing realisation that the treatment he trusted was actually keeping him trapped.Today, Erik helps others who are trying to safely come off psychiatric medication, and in this episode he explains what happened to him, what he wishes he'd known, and why he believes people should be fully informed before starting treatment.This is Erik's story. It isn't an argument against antidepressants, which many people say have helped them. It's an honest conversation about another experience that deserves to be heard.In this episode, we discuss:Why Erik says he was prescribed antidepressants when he didn't think he needed them. The horrific withdrawal symptoms that he experienced time and time again.  How medication affected his work, relationships and family life. Why he believes dependency on antidepressants isn't talked about enough. His long journey to come off medication. What he learned about recovery, lifestyle and emotional wellbeing. The advice he gives to anyone questioning whether their medication is right for them. You can contact Erik and find out more about his work by visiting his website www.erikpeers.com. Please note: This episode reflects Erik's personal experience and opinions. If you're taking antidepressants or other psychiatric medication, never stop taking them without first speaking to your doctor or another qualified healthcare professional. 

Lindsay Clancy is standing trial in Plymouth, Massachusetts, for the deaths of her three young children. Her defense centers on postpartum psychosis. The prosecution says her actions that day were deliberate and planned.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, walks through the clinical reality with Tony Brueski. The conversation starts with what the public gets wrong — and most of the public gets it wrong. Baby blues affect the majority of new mothers and resolve on their own. Postpartum depression is a clinical mood disorder affecting roughly one in seven. Postpartum psychosis is a psychiatric emergency affecting one to two women per thousand births. These are not the same illness at different volumes. Psychosis involves a rupture from reality.Lindsay's providers allegedly charted intrusive thoughts when she was reporting a male voice commanding her to harm her children. Those two presentations carry completely different clinical weight. After the killings, a forensic evaluation diagnosed her with Bipolar I — a condition her providers had considered but never confirmed. Antidepressants prescribed for the wrong diagnosis can trigger the very psychosis the defense is now building its case around.Shavaun explains the spectrum, where the line between depression and psychosis falls, and why a woman in psychosis can build snowmen with her kids in the morning and be catastrophically disconnected from reality by that evening.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott discuss postpartum psychosis and the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy is on trial for the murders of her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Her defense concedes she killed them. They argue she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and could not appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions. The prosecution says her behavior that day proves intent.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, sits down with Tony Brueski to examine the clinical foundation the entire case rests on. The public treats postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis as the same condition at different severity levels. They are not. Depression is a mood disorder. Psychosis is a break from reality — delusions, disorganized thinking, impaired reality testing, and in some cases voices directing the person to act. The clinical difference between those two diagnoses is the difference between sadness and a psychiatric emergency.Lindsay was reportedly describing command hallucinations to her providers, but the records allegedly reflected intrusive thoughts. That charting distinction carries enormous weight at trial. She was later diagnosed with Bipolar I disorder after the killings — a condition her treating providers had noted as a possibility but never confirmed. Antidepressants given to someone with undiagnosed bipolar disorder are known to trigger the exact psychotic episodes the treatment was supposed to prevent.Shavaun explains where the clinical line falls, what a command hallucination sounds like from the inside, and whether someone in psychosis can appear fully coherent to every person around them.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, discuss the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Brain–Body Connection, Gut Health, Stress, and Medical Gaslighting: board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Susan Trachman, author of “It's Not Just In Your Head,” about psychosomatic medicine and the two-way brain–body connection. Trachman explains how patients with complex symptoms are often dismissed as having “medically unexplained symptoms” and discusses medical gaslighting, especially affecting women and people of color, with examples of missed diagnoses. She describes how inflammation, the gut microbiome, leaky gut, diet, probiotics, fermented foods, and even fecal transplants can influence mood and health, and reviews vagus nerve stimulation research. The conversation covers stress effects, including Takotsubo “broken heart” cardiomyopathy, CBT for anxiety, IBS, and pain, the role of sleep and the brain's glymphatic system, pandemic-related mental health and long COVID symptoms, concerns about GLP-1 drugs causing emotional flatness, and careful SSRI tapering to avoid withdrawal. 

You think some people are just born without fear, but my guest Koa Smith has spent 15 years paddling into waves big enough to kill him, and he'll tell you the opposite: fear never leaves, the whole game is what you do when it shows up. After a reef injury knocked him unconscious underwater and left him eight months numb, depressed, and unable to get a straight answer from a doctor, he clawed his way back with forest time, breathwork, meditation, clean food, and real sleep instead of a prescription. This isn't really a surfing video, it's about the same fear that keeps you from a hard conversation, a new business, or a decision you've been avoiding, and how getting clear lets you finally see through it.

In 2008, bankers made reckless bets with your money, burned the economy to the ground, and kept their bonuses while you paid the bill. Economists call it moral hazard: when the person making the decision never suffers the consequences of being wrong, they get careless. They get greedy. And they stop caring whether what they're selling you actually works.We swore never again. We were lied to. Right now, there's an industry embedded in your doctor's office, your child's school, and your own family that runs the exact same scam — except the losses aren't measured in foreclosures. They're measured in your kids. It knows things about its product it will never tell you. It gets paid whether you improve or deteriorate. And when it fails you, that failure doesn't trigger accountability. It generates the next invoice. You've probably already been a customer. You may be one right now.Dr. Roger McFillin builds the case one brick at a time — and by the end, you'll understand why the worst outcomes in American life keep getting rewarded with more money, more power, and more access to your children.Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

This is an excerpt from E178 of the Thinking Mind Podcast. In this clip, Alex speaks with neuroscientist and author Dr Dean Burnett about whether depression should really be understood as a disease.They discuss the disease model of mental health, why depression is more complicated than a simple biological fault, and why mental health problems cannot always be treated in the same way as physical illnesses. Dean explains why calling depression a disease can sometimes help people take it seriously, but can also be misleading if it makes us think there is always one clear biological cause and one simple cure.The conversation also explores the relationship between mental health and physical health, the brain-body connection, how stress and depression affect the immune system, and why the line between illness, adaptation and normal human suffering is often blurry.They also discuss antidepressants, SSRIs, how often they help, why they are commonly prescribed, possible side effects, withdrawal effects, and why antidepressants should be understood as one tool among many rather than a perfect solution or something to dismiss entirely.Dr Dean Burnett is the author of The Idiot Brain, The Happy Brain and several other books exploring neuroscience, psychology and the weird ways our brains shape our lives.They discuss why the brain is not the perfect machine we often imagine it to be, why intrusive thoughts don't define who you are, why anxiety and self-sabotage are often normal features of the mind, and why happiness is not something we are designed to feel all the time.Dean also explains what we do and don't know about depression, antidepressants, SSRIs, brain chemistry, neuroplasticity, withdrawal effects, and why mental health is far more complicated than simple slogans like “chemical imbalance” or “just think positive”.Interviewed by Dr. Alex Curmi. Dr. Alex is a consultant psychiatrist and a UKCP registered psychotherapist.Check out The Thinking Mind Blog on Substack: https://thinkingmindblog.substack.com/If you would like to invite Alex to speak at your organisation please email alexcurmitherapy@gmail.com with "Speaking Enquiry" in the subject line.Alex is not currently taking on new psychotherapy clients, if you are interested in working with Alex for focused behaviour change coaching , you can email - alexcurmitherapy@gmail.com with "Coaching" in the subject line.Give feedback here - thinkingmindpodcast@gmail.com Follow us here: Twitter @thinkingmindpod Instagram @thinkingmindpodcast

If you've ever been told you have anxiety or depression without anyone checking your hormones first... this episode is for you. In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I dive into a conversation that I believe every woman needs to hear. Too many women are walking out of doctor's offices with prescriptions for antidepressants without ever getting a full hormone panel. While medication absolutely has its place, I'm asking a different question: What if your hormones are part of the real story? We're talking about how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone affect your mood, sleep, energy, motivation, brain fog, and anxiety - especially during perimenopause and menopause. I also share my own experience with hormone changes, why I believe so many women are being misdiagnosed, and the lifestyle habits that can help support your hormones before we even get into treatment options. This episode isn't about fear or blaming doctors. It's about becoming your own advocate, asking better questions, and making sure you're getting the full picture before accepting that feeling anxious, exhausted, or emotionally flat is "just part of getting older." #Hormones #Perimenopause #Menopause #MentalHealth   Key Takeaways: 01:41 The 3 Hormones That Control Your Mood 02:46 Why Estrogen Affects Your Happiness 03:58 Progesterone, Anxiety & Better Sleep 05:26 Low Testosterone = Low Motivation? 08:50 Why So Many Women Get Misdiagnosed 10:26 The Stats That Will Shock You 12:26 Why Blood Work Should Come First 13:39 Simple Habits That Actually Help 19:10 When Healthy Habits Aren't Enough 20:39 Getting Real Answers with Hormone Testing 22:39 What I Hope You Take Away From This Episode Links mentioned: Ready to feel like yourself again?

How America Became Dependent on Antidepressants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbz7oZA95g4Rents across the United States have spiked upwards of 20 percent over the last several years, and it turns out a good chunk of this may have been caused by mass migration. A new working paper from the Federal Reserve reports that large-scale illegal immigration was a possible driver to the costs of homes and rent increasing nationwide.We'll discuss this topic and others in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

One year after starting Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy, this is my honest TMS experience. I tried TMS therapy for my chronic, treatment-resistant depression, severe anxiety, and PTSD, and it completely changed my life. This controversial depression treatment isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, but after hitting rock bottom last summer, completing 52 total treatments by October, and returning for maintenance sessions in February, it gave me my life back. In this episode, I'm answering common TMS therapy questions, sharing my raw week-by-week PHQ-9 scores so you can see the real ups and downs of my mental health recovery, and discussing whether TMS is worth it. If you've ever wondered if TMS therapy works for severe anxiety or trauma recovery, I hope sharing my journey brings you clarity and hope.

Insomnia and depression are two serious and debilitating conditions. Insomnia on its own is linked to an increase in suicide risk, and insomnia can also exacerbate the severity of depression.Andrea Goldstein-Piekarski, assistant professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford, and Adam Krause, post-doctoral research fellow in Stanford's psychiatry department, are two of the authors of a recent study in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, or CBTI, is the gold standard for treating insomnia, and it's been shown to relieve depressive symptoms as well.Read the full study here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41386-026-02431-0 Hosted on Acast.

A free guide to FSM training is available there for licensed practitioners. https://frequencyspecific.com/how-to-choose-your-fsm-core-training Hosts:  Carolyn McMain, MA, DC   &   Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT In this episode of the Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) podcast, Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis discuss the importance of treating the whole patient—not just the injury—and strongly discourage using AI or published frequency lists to create FSM protocols, emphasizing hands-on assessment and clinical reasoning. They troubleshoot an ACL post-op case with patellar tendinopathy and quad inhibition, highlighting tissue-based detective work (especially the fat pad, scarring, nerves, and cartilage) and noting that effective frequencies should produce palpable softening quickly. They also explain how to differentiate disc versus facet referral patterns in the upper back based on flexion/extension provocation, recommend considering flexion-extension X-rays and hypermobility screening for chronic neck issues, address questions on statin-related neuropathy and antidepressant tapering, share carpal tunnel strategies and outcomes, and explore vagus-focused approaches for interoception, pelvic pain, coccydynia, and vaginismus. They close with course announcements and a reminder that AI cannot diagnose, treat, or provide reliable legal documents. 00:00 Healing Beyond Tissue 00:38 FSM Podcast Intro 01:05 OR Teamwork Mindset 03:01 Perioperative Care Gaps 04:53 AI Protocol PSA 08:02 ACL Rehab Case Study 13:25 Hands-On Over Algorithms 16:02 Tendonitis vs Tendinopathy 18:25 Neck Pain Disc vs Facet 24:34 Reading Imaging Like a Pro 29:12 Trust the Exam 29:43 Statins and Antidepressants 32:13 Carpal Tunnel Protocols 35:48 Interoception and Vagus 37:52 Pelvic Pain and Dura 41:44 Arachnoid and Simplifying FSM 43:45 Radiation Scar Case 45:15 Vaginismus Treatment Options 48:01 Athlete Anxiety and Safety 51:01 AI Limits and Connection 52:45 Course Dates and Wrap Up 55:08 Podcast Disclaimer

Dr. David Healy, psychiatrist, psychopharmacologist, and author of Pharmageddon, returns to lay out what he argues the drug companies concealed about antidepressants. He says the healthy-volunteer trials showed sexual side effects in close to 90% of people while the marketed figure was under 5%, and he explains why he considers the word "antidepressant" itself a marketing term. Host Mike Vera, MS, NBC-HWC, walks through the trial data, informed consent, and whether the same pattern is now repeating with GLP-1 drugs. This is a discussion of Dr. Healy's research and perspective, shared for educational purposes only, and it is not medical advice.A note before you listen: this conversation covers antidepressants, SSRIs, and mental health, including the subject of suicidal thoughts.

Anhedonia is not a chemical deficiency. It is the protective collapse of an emotional system that has been suppressing for too long. Feeling returns when the survival persona is gently dismantled and the Authentic Self is given permission to feel again.This video walks through what anhedonia actually is, why it usually arrives at the moment your life looks most successful, and why pushing harder is the exact opposite of what your nervous system needs. If you sit through your own life feeling almost nothing, this names what your body is actually doing.Kenny Weiss is the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. This teaching maps anhedonia to emotional surgery, dead spots, the survival persona, and the titrated re-entry that brings feeling back online safely.Anhedonia is rarely a chemical deficiency. It is the protective shutdown of an emotional system that has been suppressing for decades. The nervous system pulls the master breaker because feeling anything would force recognition that the constructed adult life was built on not feeling.Anhedonia usually arrives at the moment a person's life looks most successful on paper. The survival persona finally earned everything it was trying to earn, and the body underneath quietly said, we did all of this for love, and the love still has not arrived, so I am turning off the lights.Generic interventions cannot reach anhedonia at the root. Antidepressants take off the edge but do not explain why the lights went out. Forced enjoyment, gratitude journals, and cold plunges ask the system to perform feeling instead of letting it come back online safely on its own pace.The Emotional Authenticity Method™ addresses anhedonia in titrated steps. Its six gentle moves trace the flatness from somatic down-regulation through earliest memory to Feelization, where the body builds a new emotional addiction to being alive instead of to being safe by feeling nothing.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist and the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™.

In his latest public health crusade, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, is asking why millions of Americans have been taking psychiatric drugs for far longer than ever intended. In the process, he's highlighting an open secret in medicine: that doctors are better at starting drug treatments than at stopping them, and that patients who want to end their treatment are increasingly taking matters into their own hands. Ellen Barry, a mental health reporter, takes us inside the growing movement to “deprescribe.” Guest: Ellen Barry, a reporter covering mental health for The New York Times.

The hardest part about antidepressants is often not the pill, it is the question you ask yourself before you ever bring it up: “Is this serious enough?” We think that question keeps too many people stuck. We are Ed Delesky (family medicine doctor) and Nicole Aruffo (nurse), and we walk through a clearer test: is depression or anxiety affecting your ability to live your life the way you want to live it?We unpack the stigma that makes mental health feel different from every other medical problem, even though it lives in the brain like anything else. We use simple, patient-friendly analogies to explain how antidepressants work: a dimmer switch turned back up, or glasses that help you see more clearly. We also cover the practical signals we look for in primary care when deciding whether it is time to consider medication for depression or anxiety: symptoms lasting weeks to months, daily function taking a hit, sleep and motivation sliding, and foundational steps like therapy, movement, and sleep support not being enough on their own.We also demystify what starting an SSRI or SNRI can feel like, including why these medications usually take six to eight weeks to show real benefits and why a subtle improvement can still be life-changing. If you worry about dependence, personality changes, or taking something forever, we address those fears directly and talk about how many people use antidepressants for a season, not a lifetime.

Many mothers go to the doctor because they feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and they aren't sleeping - and leave with a depression diagnosis and a prescription. The message is: your brain isn't working right, and medication will help you cope. But what if the problem isn't your brain at all? In this episode, I talk with journalist Bob Whitaker, who has spent decades investigating psychiatric treatment in the U.S. We look at how women's distress has been medicalized instead of taken seriously as a response to impossible circumstances. We look at how antidepressants work, which is quite different from what the drug companies have been telling us for years.  He also shares the results of a New Zealand study on postpartum depression that should have changed how we support new mothers - but didn't. Questions this episode will answer Is it burnout or depression? Burnout and depression share a lot of the same symptoms - exhaustion, low mood, difficulty functioning - but they have different roots. Burnout is a response to sustained, unmanageable circumstances. Depression, as it's currently diagnosed and treated, is framed as a brain malfunction. This episode looks at why this difference matters, and why so many mothers get a depression diagnosis when they're experiencing burnout. Why are mothers more likely to be diagnosed with depression? Mothers in the US are frequently carrying an unequal share of household work, childcare, and mental load - often while also working full time - with little support. When that situation becomes unsustainable, the distress it causes is then treated as an individual brain problem rather than a response to a broken system. What prevents postpartum depression? A study out of New Zealand found that consistent, practical support - help with the actual work of running a household - significantly reduced postpartum depression. But even though the findings were significant, more support has not become the standard of care. Should I take antidepressants? Antidepressants may reduce symptoms for some people, but research shows they are far less effective than we've been told - and for mothers whose distress is rooted in unsustainable circumstances, medication addresses the symptom rather than the source. If antidepressants are helping you, that's OK (and do keep taking them!). But antidepressants should be used to help create space for other interventions to work, rather than used long-term. How does society affect women's mental health? When we treat women's distress as a potentially life-long medical problem rather than a signal about unsustainable circumstances, we direct attention away from the structural changes that would actually help. This episode traces how that pattern developed - and what a different approach might look like. What you'll learn in this episode Why the mental load of motherhood is a structural problem, not a brain problem that medication should fixHow psychiatry functions as social control when it diagnoses individuals instead of the broken systems they're living inWhat the New Zealand postpartum depression study found - and why its results were largely ignoredHow drug advertising has shaped what we believe about women's distress - from Valium in the 1960s to antidepressants todayHow to shift from asking "what's wrong with my brain" to "what would actually need to change in my situation" If you want to learn more about Bob's work and the research on depression and antidepressants, go to https://madinamerica.com/. Want to go deeper? The full one-hour conversation with Bob is available to Parenting Membership members. In it, Bob traces exactly how depression came to be understood as a chemical imbalance - not because research proved it, but because psychiatry in the U.S. wanted to rebrand itself as a legitimate medical discipline in the 1980s.  He walks us through how pharmaceutical companies funneled money to academic psychiatrists to become "thought leaders," how Prozac was marketed as making people "feel better than well," and how the industry captured the entire profession so thoroughly that by 1998, the New England Journal of Medicine couldn't find a single academic expert on depression in the US who wasn't taking money from pharmaceutical companies. We went deep on the STAR*D trial - the largest antidepressant study ever conducted. The public was told 70% of patients got better. The actual stay-well rate at one year, once a researcher used a Freedom of Information request to get the raw data: 3%. Bob walks through exactly how that number was inflated - the protocol violations, the patients who were already in remission when they enrolled, the switched measurement scales - and why he calls it a straight-out public betrayal.

It focuses on the problems in the head of the individual, not in the social way we arrange our society. 06:25 From hysteria and electroshock therapy (mostly given to women) in the 1800s, to marketing benzodiazepines to wives in the 1960s, the pattern of pathologizing women's distress has been consistent. 08:32 When benzodiazepines were recognized as addictive in the late 1970s, psychiatry reframed anxiety as a type of depression and switched women to antidepressants, another numbing drug that keeps women quiet and functioning in an impossible situation. 13:31 In the New Zealand study, it says that when women got daily help with housework for six months, postpartum depression was prevented. Yet this support became standard care nowhere, because the system still believes the problem is in people's brains, not in their circumstances. 14:17 Wrapping up today's topic

Millions of Americans take antidepressants, but far fewer are warned about how difficult coming off them can be. Laura Delano spent 14 years inside the psychiatric system before discovering that many of the symptoms she believed were signs of mental illness were actually linked to psychiatric drug withdrawal. We discuss why antidepressant tapering is so often misunderstood, how withdrawal can be mistaken for relapse, and whether a lack of training around safe tapering is quietly contributing to today's mental health crisis.Thank you to our sponsors!ZEBRA: Use code "ALEX" for 10% off any orderBLDG ACTIVE SKIN REPAIR: Use code “ALEX” for 20% off your orderA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICS: Use code "ALEX" for 25% off first time ordersCROWDHEALTH: Use code “CULTURE” to get your first three months for only $99/monthWILD PASTURES: Get an exclusive discount on your next orderVOTE ONLINEOur Guest:Laura DelanoLaura's Links:WebsiteInstagramYouTubeFacebookInner Compass InstagramInner Compass Initiative Website'Unshrunk' BookXFOLLOW ALEX:Instagram |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @realalexclark⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@cultureapothecary⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @yoalexrapz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @RealAlexClark⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcast |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to ‘Culture Apothecary' on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In this episode, we explore four unique antidepressants that do not fit neatly into the traditional SSRI or SNRI categories: trazodone, nefazodone, vilazodone, and vortioxetine. Trazodone and nefazodone are classified as serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitors (SARIs), working primarily through blockade of 5-HT2 receptors while also inhibiting serotonin reuptake. Trazodone’s strong antihistamine and alpha-1 blocking properties make it highly sedating and commonly used off-label for insomnia, whereas nefazodone causes less sedation but is rarely prescribed today because of its association with severe and potentially fatal liver toxicity. Both agents are notable for producing less sexual dysfunction than many traditional SSRIs. We also discuss two newer multimodal antidepressants: vilazodone (Viibryd) and vortioxetine (Trintellix). Vilazodone combines serotonin reuptake inhibition with partial agonism at the 5-HT1A receptor, a mechanism often compared to combining an SSRI with buspirone. Vortioxetine has an even more complex pharmacology, acting as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor while modulating multiple serotonin receptor subtypes through agonist, partial agonist, and antagonist actions. This multimodal activity may contribute to benefits in cognitive symptoms associated with major depressive disorder. Throughout the episode, we compare receptor pharmacology, clinical applications, adverse effect profiles, and the unique characteristics that distinguish these medications from more commonly prescribed antidepressants.

Depression is often treated as a single condition. But two people with the same diagnosis can have completely different underlying causes. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm rejoined by Dr. James Greenblatt to explore why depression may be less of a disease and more of a signal that something deeper is going on. We discuss how a root-cause approach can uncover what's driving symptoms and why finding what's beneath them matters. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We discuss: Could nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, or gut issues be contributing to symptoms of depression What tests can help uncover the biological factors that may be affecting mood and mental health Why can two people with depression have different root causes—and require different solutions How do blood sugar imbalances, hormone changes, and metabolic health influence the brain What should you know about antidepressants, tapering, and addressing the factors that may affect recovery Hope doesn't come from ignoring symptoms—it comes from understanding them. Sometimes the most important question isn't "What's wrong with me?" but "What might my body be trying to tell me?" One of the key themes in this conversation is that mental health is deeply connected to what's happening throughout the body.

Born in Germany and raised in Denmark, Fiona Frenzen is a qualified teacher with a master's degree in anthropology. For years, she had a dream about living in Iceland, seeking the grounding and healing effect of nature. But due to her health challenges and severe withdrawal syndrome, this dream seemed unrealistic. However, this past fall, she moved to a rural part of Iceland where she began teaching at the local elementary and high school. She dreams about putting her degree in anthropology to use by working in research and contributing to the awareness of the risks of antidepressants and the difficulties of withdrawal. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

In this episode, Kelly interviews Dr. Mark Horowitz, a psychiatrist and author, about the long-term impacts of antidepressants, the challenges of coming off these medications, and the future of deprescribing. This conversation sheds light on why many people remain trapped on these drugs and what can be done to change this reality. Key Topics: The origins of Dr. Horowitz's involvement in deprescribing and his personal experience The widespread use of antidepressants in America and the long-term health risks How withdrawal symptoms can be mistaken for a need to stay on medication The insidious side effects of antidepressants, including weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and increased risk of fractures The lack of long-term studies and regulatory oversight on the effects of antidepressants The importance of informed consent and alternative treatment options How marketing and legal factors influence prescribing habits Strategies for safe tapering and support resources for deprescribing The evolving awareness and cultural shift regarding antidepressant risks Deprescribing book https://markhorowitz.org/ Listen to my Tedx Talk: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Why we need adult sex ed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Adult Sex Ed Master Class:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Interested in my sexual health and hormone clinic? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Waitlist is open⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To learn more about Via vaginal moisturizer from Solv Wellness, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠via4her.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and get 20% off your first order.

Went to your doctor in your early 40s with sudden anxiety, insomnia, brain fog or unexplained weight gain — and walked out with an antidepressant? Author and nurse practitioner Dani Williamson joins Dr. Chris Motley to explain why SSRIs are not the answer to perimenopause, what's actually happening in your body as estrogen drops, and how healing your gut can bring your thyroid and hormones back into balance.  Key Takeaways from this Conversation: Women are being prescribed SSRIs for anxiety when the real cause is perimenopause. There's no SSRI for that.  Estrogen-loss comes with mood symptoms, weight gain and health concerns like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis as your thyroid begins to slow down.  Fix your gut and your thyroid and hormones will (usually!) fall into place.  Dani Williamson's Top 7 Most Inflammatory Food: Gluten Dairy Soy Corn  Sugar Eggs  Peanuts If your doctor's reaction to a health concern brought on by estrogen-loss is “let's just watch this for 6 months,” it's time to find a new doctor.  A tiny low-dose estrogen patch can change your perimenopause game.  Healing trauma and abuse is key (especially when it comes to thyroid health): Unaddressed childhood trauma can collide with the body-chaos of perimenopause. EMDR and talk therapy can help with this journey.   ------  Follow Doctor Motley!

Welcome to today's episode on the tricyclic antidepressants, commonly known as TCAs — one of the foundational medication classes in psychopharmacology. Although newer antidepressants like SSRIs often dominate modern prescribing, TCAs remain highly relevant in clinical practice because of their effectiveness in treatment-resistant depression, chronic pain syndromes, migraine prevention, insomnia, and certain anxiety disorders. In this episode, we'll break down the pharmacology behind these medications, discuss how tertiary amines differ from secondary amines, review major adverse effects and drug interactions, and highlight the key clinical pearls that healthcare professionals and students need to know. Whether you're a medical, pharmacy, nursing, or PA student preparing for exams, or a practicing clinician looking for a practical refresher, this episode will give you a solid framework for understanding this classic but still clinically important medication class.
