Persistent grief symptoms nearly doubled the risk of death within 10 years, showing that unresolved grief has serious long-term health effects People with high levels of grief were far more likely to use antidepressants, sedatives, and anxiety medications for years after their loss Frequent doctor visits remained elevated for up to seven years in those experiencing unrelenting grief, highlighting the strain it places on both mind and body Long-lasting grief keeps stress hormones high, weakens your immune system, disrupts sleep, and increases your risk of chronic disease Taking steps like honoring your unique grieving process, supporting your body with sleep, healthy diet, and exercise, and using techniques like the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) helps you move through grief and protect your long-term health
A reanalysis of a study found that fluoxetine alone showed no measurable benefit over placebo in treating adolescent depression after 12 weeks Researchers uncovered 11 additional suicide-related events that were hidden or misclassified, bringing the total to 21 serious incidents Statistical tactics and selective reporting made fluoxetine appear safer and more effective than it really was in clinical trials A different reanalysis mentioned that adverse events and many side effects were minimized or excluded from the original reports Improving gut health, getting regular exercise, undergoing therapy, and optimizing vitamin D are viable approaches for treating depression
Can depression be healed without antidepressants? Josh Trent welcomes Pixie Acia, Spiritual Wellness Coach, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 771, to share how nutraceuticals helped her transition off 15 years of antidepressants, why trauma shows up in our bodies until we face it, and how breathwork, community, and cycle-breaking practices can unlock healing far beyond pharmaceuticals. Nutraceuticals from Altrient (LivOn Labs) In order to repair the structural damage caused by a continual barrage of toxic substances and pathogens, your body requires a constant supply of phospholipids. Whilst humans can synthesise some phospholipid compounds, others are sourced from food. Phospholipids that are obtained from the diet are called ‘essential phospholipids'. The liposomes used in Altrient products are made from essential phospholipids that include a high percentage of Phosphatidylcholine (PC). These liposomes not only provide optimum protection and transport, but they also satisfy the body's need for PC, omega-6 fatty acids, and choline. Now Altrient has taken the power of LET out of the laboratory and put it into your hands. It's why Altrient products are so effective. High-performance nutrients delivering enhanced absorption! Try it for yourself In This Episode, Pixie Acia Uncovers: [01:10] Nutraceuticals: Natural + More Efficient than Anti-Depressants The role of nutraceuticals in treating depression. Why Pixie spent 15 years on depression medications. How liposomal applications help us absorb 80-90% of nutrients from a supplement. Why nutraceuticals provide clarity and allow us to feel our emotions more than antidepressants. How nutraceuticals affect both the brain and the gut. Why depression is a combination of trauma and imbalances in the brain. We can't heal from depression with just one practice.

Why she attached her identity to being vegan and stopped listening to her body. How she switched to a carnivore diet to feel better. Resources: The Effects of Vegan Diet on Fetus and Maternal Health [12:50] The Gift in Traumatic Experiences Why we care about what other people think about us based on evolution. How trauma took Pixie's innocence and childhood. Why tattooing her body was a trauma response. How she channelled her trauma to help others. Why Pixie learned to detach from her body when she was abused. How forgiveness can help us let go. [19:10] Healed People Heal People How healed people heal other people. Why Pixie believes she went through her trauma for a reason. How her traumatic experience has helped her help others move through their trauma. [22:30] The Healing Power of Breathwork How breathwork helps us connect with our body. Why breathwork allowed Pixie to free herself from her traumatic sexual past. How breathwork can open us to new dimensions. Why we can get downloads from breathwork sessions. What led her to change her name from Amber to Pixie. [29:30] Why Do You Chase Dopamine? How the body is always looking for safety. Why Pixie attracted the same type of men until she healed her wounds. How chasing dopamine is a trauma response. Why Pixie created challenges to keep people accountable for their growth and getting healthy dopamine. It takes 62 days to create a new habit. [37:10] Becoming A Cycle Breaker Why Pixie found it hard to dance because of her sexual trauma. How expressing her sexuality made her feel like she would be taken advantage of. What pushed her to break the cycle. Resources: Michael Edward Johnson's Latch Theory The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk [43:50] The Value of Community Why community is the new currency. How human connection will become more valuable. What it means to be a safe container for others. How people come up against their projections and beliefs when they go to a retreat. Why when you let people see us, we become more lovable. [49:35] The Catalyst for Change What happened and why it happened doesn't truly matter. Why what we don't express shows up as depression or disease. How doing our own healing helps other people heal. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts All Resources From This Episode Pixie Acia LivOn Labs (Altrient) The Effects of Vegan Diet on Fetus and Maternal Health Michael Edward Johnson's Latch Theory The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk Power Quotes From Pixie Acia "What is repressed will eventually get expressed as depression or disease." — Pixie Acia "If you suffer from depression, you need nutraceuticals. They help not just build the foundational blocks in the brain, but also in the gut, affecting the serotonin and giving you the essential support that it needs to not be depressed." — Pixie Acia "Your nervous system is looking for familiar situations to identify whether it's safe or not. When we're used to repressing it, we aren't listening to the body to know if we're safe or not. And then we'll end up finding ourselves in similar situations again." — Pixie Acia
Tune in to episode 227 of Joy Found Here, where Jacques Martiquet—better known as The Party Scientist—shares how joy and human connection can transform our lives. From flash mobs to sober raves, he explores joy as a biological state, the role of community as an amplifier, and why joy may be the most underrated natural antidepressant we have.Jacques wasn't always the life of the sober party—he began as a festival medic, watching firsthand how alcohol and drugs derailed so many experiences. That pushed him to try something different: he started throwing sober raves where people could dance, connect, and feel alive without substances. Those events went viral and “The Party Scientist” was born. Since then, Jacques has built JoyCamp into a six-figure event brand, hosted corporate openings and adult summer camps, and led communities around the world in rediscovering authentic joy. His mission is simple but radical: design gatherings where phones are down, guards are lowered, and people leave feeling more connected to themselves and others.In this episode, Jacques unpacks the myths of escapism, reflects on the impact of FOMO and perfectionism, and highlights why authentic connection is essential to well-being. From daily habits to co-living experiments, he reminds us: joy isn't something we wait for—it's something we train, practice, and share.In This Episode, You Will Learn:How Jacques went from pharmacologist to The Party Scientist (3:03)Why joy is a biological state—and the habits that create it (6:43)The irony of drugs at festivals and how sober raves flip the script (10:44)Escapism, FOMO, and why joy is an inside job (14:11)The three pathways to joy: mindset, biology, environment (16:30)How Joy Bootcamp builds routines for lasting joy (20:06)Why community accelerates joy more than going it alone (23:30)The power of co-living and digital detox at Joy Mansion (28:58)How structure and play help overcome perfectionism and fear (36:55)What's next for Jacques and the future of Joy Bootcamp (40:57)Connect with Jacques Martiquet:WebsiteFacebookLinkedInInstagramLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

On this episode, Tudor sits down with Dr. Joanna Moncrieff to challenge the widely accepted narrative surrounding antidepressants. Together, they examine whether depression is truly caused by a serotonin imbalance and uncover the often-overlooked consequences of these medications. The discussion delves into the rising use of antidepressants—especially among teenagers—and the hidden costs, from emotional numbness to sexual dysfunction. They also question the pharmaceutical industry’s influence in shaping public perception and prescribing practices. The Tudor Dixon Podcast is part of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Podcast Network.

Joanna Moncrieff is a British psychiatrist and academic. She is Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London and a member of the Critical Psychiatry Network. She is the author of The Myth of the Chemical Cure and The Bitterest Pills, which are considered central texts in the critical psychiatry movement. Moncrieff is critical of mainstream psychiatry's medical model of mental illness. Professor Moncrief's 2022 paper in molecular psychiatry didn't just make waves, it created a tsunami. Leading a systemic review of five decades of research, she and her team definitively demonstrated what no one had dared to state so clearly that there's no convincing evidence that depression is caused by a serotonin imbalance or any chemical imbalance at all. This paper became one of the most widely read scientific papers in modern history, ranking in the top 5 % of all research ever tracked. The world took notice because the world needed to know. Her groundbreaking new book, Chemically Imbalanced, The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth, meticulously documents how an entire medical narrative was constructed without scientific foundation marketed to billions and defended by institutions that should know better.https://joannamoncrieff.com/2022 paper in molecular psychiatry on Serotonin Chemically Imbalanced: The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here
John Ioannidis is a Stanford professor, a physician, and one of the most eminent scholars in the world in the field of evidence-based medicine. Ioannidis has spent his career exposing the weak foundations of much of modern medicine. His 2005 paper, "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False," became the most-viewed article in the history of PLOS Medicine and helped spark a global reckoning with reproducibility. He has since warned about how evidence-based medicine can be hijackedby industry influence, how biased reward systems in academia favor quantity over quality, and how even systematic reviews can recycle flawed data. His critiques extend to psychiatry, where pharma-funded trials often tilt toward positive results, guidelines are shaped by insiders, and neuroscience findings are more fragile than they appear. He is a tenured professor at Stanford and has an extensive background in medicine, epidemiology, population health, and data sciences. As much as he is a champion of good science, Ioannidis is also a lover of the arts and humanities. He's a novelist, teaches poetry, loves operas, and has written libretti for four operas himself. In this interview, he discusses the extensive bias that pervades scientific research, the problematic practices and pressures that enable flawed science, and the significant issues with antidepressant research. At the same time, he reminds us why good science is a gift to humanity and something we must protect for our well-being and dignity. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Have a message for Karena? She'd love to hear from you and share your comment or question on air!Leave Karena a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/KarenaDawnWhat if the breakdown you feared was actually the doorway to your greatest sense of peace?In this transformative episode of The Big Silence, Karena sits down with #1 New York Times bestselling author, spiritual teacher, and Dear Gabby podcast host Gabby Bernstein. From uncovering repressed childhood trauma in her mid-30s to navigating postpartum depression with courage and honesty, Gabby shares the tools that helped her move from chaos to calm. She opens up about EMDR therapy, medication without shame, reparenting the inner child, and finding relief one step at a time. Whether you're in the depths of anxiety, grieving a loss, or simply craving a gentler way to heal, Gabby's wisdom offers both compassion and practical next steps.How do you combine spiritual tools and evidence-based therapy to heal trauma without shame, guilt, or overwhelm?Healing isn't about being “fixed.” It's about creating safety, awareness, and compassion so you can finally live in peace.(02:06) Naming the Why Behind PatternsSpirituality and sobriety can plant seeds, but trauma will still surface in anxiety, addiction, or control.Memory of trauma can return much later in life; healing doesn't require forcing recall.Recognizing “what happened to me” instead of “what's wrong with me” reframes the path forward.(05:09) EMDR, DemystifiedBilateral stimulation (eye movement, tapping, sounds) opens a safe “window of tolerance.”Starting with a present trigger often links back to earlier wounds.Small issues may shift quickly; deeper trauma requires more time but reduces triggers steadily.(09:02) Postpartum Depression: When Meditation Isn't EnoughSigns include panic attacks, insomnia, and suicidal thoughts. This is biochemical, not a personal failing.Antidepressants can create a baseline of safety so therapy becomes effective.Meds are not a shortcut but a foundation; Gabby paired them with three therapy sessions a week.(14:37) Grief Without GuiltApproach grief in doses: feel some, then step back before re-engaging.Notice when numbing shows up; honor it as a protective strategy.Relief through TV, rest, or joy is part of healthy grieving, not a failure.(18:51) Getting Unstuck: The 3-Question InventoryAfter each trigger, ask: 1) What triggered me? 2) What do I feel? 3) How do I run from it?Recognize patterns as protective, not personality flaws.Writing it down builds compassion and creates room for change.(20:30) Reparenting Yourself with the 4 S'sSafe: Breathwork, sleep, and grounding to calm your nervous system.Seen: Validate your wins and speak to yourself with compassion.Soothed: Make therapy and support part of your routine.Secure: Consistency builds an inner foundation of trust and resilience.(24:54) Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy: Proceed with CareShould only be done with trained clinicians under clinical guidelines.Medication conflicts exist; research protocols carefully.Curiosity is valid, but sobriety and safety must guide decisions.(28:57) Resources & Next...
As the Downton Abbey franchise comes to an end after fifteen years, with the cinema release of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale this Friday, we discuss the enduring appeal of the upstairs-downstairs class-based period drama with the chatelaine of the 'real Downton', Highclere Castle, the Countess of Carnarvon, and with Caroline Frost of The Radio Times. Suede frontman Brett Anderson talks to us about the 21st century anxieties which have informed the renowned indie-rock band's new album, Antidepressants. Two medical professionals who've turned a razor-sharp scalpel to writing informed by their careers in the NHS: Adam Kay, the junior doctor-turned writer of the bestselling memoir This Is Going to Hurt, discusses writing his debut novel, A Particularly Nasty Case, a murder-mystery set in the corridors of a busy hospital. And nurse and playwright Uma Nada-Rajah talks about her tragicomic production Black Hole Sign which is set in an A+E department and which opens in Scotland this weekend.Plus we hear about a new initiative - launched today - which aims to develop filmmaking skills in children as young as 3 years old. Presenter: Kirsty Wark Producer: Mark Crossan
"I got the writing bug very early," says Suede's iconic frontman Brett Anderson. "I was fascinated by the simplicity of what was in front of me: You have six strings, and a limited number of notes, and 26 letters in the alphabet, and all of these things simultaneously mock you and inspire you. And it became a sort of an addiction for me quite early on, trying to search for that song, trying to reach for those chords, trying to write that album, and it still is. I still love it.”In the lead up to Suede's excellent new album, Antidepressants, which the Guardian has hailed as a “late career triumph,” I had the pleasure of connecting over Zoom with Anderson for a conversation about his creative evolution. One of my favorite things about our interview was hearing him describe his passion for the process of writing and the fact that, even though it can be torturous, it's ultimately so satisfying. He said that he resonates with the famous Dorothy Parker quote, “I hate writing, but I love having written.” And so we talked about writing throughout Anderson's life: as a kid, when he first connected with his urge to put pen to paper and evoke notes from an instrument, the early days of Suede and moments when he first knew he had hit on something so powerful, and writing of the new album.
Mientras el britpop vive de sus recuerdos, Suede han continuado manteniendo su identidad y su calidad con solvencia a lo largo de muchos años. Acaban de publicar 'Antidepressants', al que llaman su álbum post-punk, es un disco crudo y distorsionado sobre las tensiones de la vida moderna, la paranoia, la ansiedad, la neurosis, desconexión social y la soledad. Traumas sobre los que sobrevuela una idea: solo la música nos volverá a unir.De soledad, la buscada y la no elegida, hablamos con la psicóloga clínica Rosana Corbacho en nuestra sección 'Discociadas vivas'.

Why vaccines have become so polarizing; Florida to remove all vaccine mandates; A modest proposal for revised Covid vaccine guidelines has the CDC in an uproar; Gastroparesis—what causes it and how to alleviate it; options for treatment of tricuspid regurgitation; New tech enables continuous home testing of levels of stress hormone; The mystery of a dog's sudden death.
On Joe Untamed today, we dive headlong into truths the establishment wants buried. From covering the safety of prescription drugs to the CDC looking to sabotage RFK, confronting the battle for election integrity and systemic corruption head-on. With Tina Peters' unjust imprisonment still sending shockwaves nationwide, we probe the chilling question: what happens when truth-tellers are branded political prisoners, and who's orchestrating this assault on freedom? We welcome Kim Witczak, a relentless drug safety advocate whose personal loss fueled a two-decade mission to expose Big Pharma's dangerous practices. Her work has driven critical Black Box warnings, challenged FDA complacency, and revealed how profit-driven systems sideline patient safety. Kim's revelations about antidepressants, medical ethics, and regulatory failures are a must-hear for anyone who trusts their health to the system—a conversation that will open your eyes and demand action. Next we have Dr. Murray Sabrin, a fearless economist and champion of free markets, returns to unpack what the mainstream ignores: how the Federal Reserve's reckless policies, tariffs, and world trade are colliding together. With clarity and conviction, Dr. Sabrin maps out the roots of this crisis and the urgent reforms needed to reclaim financial liberty. This episode is a clarion call for patriots, families, and truth-seekers—tune in to seize the narrative and fight.
Should we be doing more to save questionable teeth? What if you could buy more time — without compromising patient care? Dr. Omar Ikram returns for a powerful episode diving into the real-world decision-making between endodontics and implants. Together with Jaz, they explore tough scenarios — like teeth with nasty cracks or minimal remaining structure — and ask the critical question: when is it truly time to extract? They break down concepts like retained roots, root burial, amputation, and a new term Jaz introduces — palliative endodontics. Because sometimes the best outcome isn't immediate replacement, but smart, strategic delay. https://youtu.be/5msP908JvuI Watch PDP238 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: When discussing treatment longevity with older patients, tailor your language to be more relatable. Instead of saying, “I plan my dentistry to age 100,” say, “I want this to last well into your eighties or nineties.” This makes the conversation more personal and realistic, helping patients better connect with the concept of long-term outcomes. Key Takeaways Understanding the limitations of implants compared to natural teeth is vital. Medical history significantly impacts dental treatment decisions. Managing patient expectations is crucial for satisfaction. Palliative endodontics can provide temporary relief and management. Reading and interpreting CBCT scans requires skill and experience. If it's not that five millimeter defect, it's up to you. The second molar is a good one because often second molars can't be replaced with an implant. Retaining roots is definitely a good way to go. You need to risk assess the patient before extraction. Palliative endo is technically always an option. Success in endo can be often difficult to achieve. Asymptomatic and functional is a good criteria. If endo is on the table, it's feasible.

Visit the Sex With Emily Website: https://sexwithemily.com/ In this powerful episode of Sex with Emily, Dr. Emily tackles one of the biggest barriers to great sex: fear. From fear of rejection to body image anxieties, this episode explores how our sexual fears hold us back and provides practical strategies for overcoming them. Dr. Emily opens with the fundamental truth that fear is often "false evidence appearing real" - we create rules around what we're afraid of and then live by them, preventing ourselves from having the sex we truly want and deserve. Throughout the episode, Dr. Emily addresses common sexual fears from farting during sex to penis size anxieties to performance worries, emphasizing that we're all perfectionists when it comes to sex despite reality being much messier and more human. The episode concludes with the empowering message that facing our fears is the path to becoming our own best sexual advocate. When we ask for what we want authentically, we either get our needs met or gain valuable information about compatibility, because we all deserve pleasure and shouldn't put ourselves last in our own sexual lives.

When Dr. Roger McFillin first stepped into a children's psychiatric hospital, he was shocked by what he witnessed—kids as young as five being medicated into compliance, their trauma overlooked, and their humanity reduced to labels and prescriptions. That moment set him on a decades-long journey to expose the truth about America's mental health system.In this conversation, Dr. McFillin joins Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh to challenge some of the deepest assumptions in psychiatry—from the “chemical imbalance” myth to the widespread drugging of normal emotional responses like grief, fear, and anxiety. He shares gripping stories from his work with traumatized children, teens in the juvenile justice system, and adults on multiple psychiatric drugs, raising hard questions about informed consent, resilience, and what true healing looks like.This isn't just an interview—it's a raw, honest look at how our culture medicalizes suffering, why that's dangerous, and how reclaiming struggle and resilience may be the real path forward. Whether you're a physician, a patient, or simply someone searching for truth, this episode will stay with you.Rapid Fire TakeawaysWhy the “chemical imbalance” theory never held up to scienceHow normal human suffering became pathologized as “disorder”Why informed consent is missing in psychiatric prescribingThe difference between short-term crisis meds vs. long-term harmHow resilience, not over-medicalization, is the real path to healingAbout the GuestDr. Roger McFillin, PsyDClinical psychologist, writer, and host of The Radically Genuine Podcast.

What happens when you stop numbing and finally face what's underneath? Hey, Heal Squad! In this deeply honest episode, Maria sits down with The Challenge star turned certified meditation coach, singer, and author Tori Deal to unpack her journey of coming off antidepressants, quitting alcohol, and finding herself again. Tori shares what it's been like to be six months med-free, the tools that supported her through the transition, and how her Ayahuasca journey helped her release childhood trauma and reconnect with her inner truth. Together, she and Maria dive into the emotional toll of reality TV, the power of presence, and the spiritual practices that helped her finally feel whole. Whether you're exploring your own healing, questioning your relationship with medication, or looking for a reset, this episode is for you. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Coming off antidepressants is a layered journey: Tori shares how she weaned off medication after a decade, found stability without numbing, and learned to hold space for discomfort without fear. Healing doesn't always look like progress: Removing alcohol, sitting in stillness, and feeling emotions fully brought up grief, but it also unlocked clarity, creativity, and real self-trust. Plant medicine isn't a cure, it's a mirror: Tori's Ayahuasca journey revealed the pain she hadn't processed, but also the power of perspective, compassion, and choosing a new story for her life.

Antidepressants are in widespread use, but there is considerable variability in how patients respond, with some seeing substantial improvement while others respond only partially or not at all. In this podcast, Dr. Antonio E. Nardi discusses the many factors that underlie response rates, including psychological factors, personality traits, and medication adherence. There are also some mood conditions such as demoralization that may seem to resemble depression but do not meet all the clinical criteria. Recognizing these different emotional states is crucial for both individuals and clinicians in the treatment of low mood disorders. Dr. Nardi, along with Drs. Richard I. Shader, Richard Balon, Anthony J. Rothschild, and Larissa Junkes, are the authors of an editorial titled, “ ‘I am depressed': The many meanings that may underlie variability in response to antidepressants.” The editorial is published in the September-October 2025 issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. doi: 10.1097/JCP.0000000000002053
A presidential executive order early this year directed federal departments and agencies to address the issue of chronic disease in the United States, including “the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs),” with a particular focus on youth. In this podcast, Dr. Jeffrey R. Strawn discusses his editorial, “Fact Versus Fear: Antidepressants in Children and Adolescents,” which is published in the September-October 2025 issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. In the editorial, Dr. Strawn and his coauthor, Dr. John T. Walkup, write that the framing of the issue in the executive order risks reinforcing stigma and diminishing trust in evidence-based pediatric mental health care. The editorial summarizes the evidence supporting the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of SSRIs in youth and contextualizes these findings within a discussion of the risk of withholding potentially effective treatments due to stigma and misinformation. The editorial is published in the September-October 2025 issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. doi: 10.1097/JCP.0000000000002054

The FDA held a panel discussion on antidepressants used during pregnancy. I was one of the expert presenters, and what I witnessed should alarm anyone who cares about honest medicine. In this episode, I break down the mainstream media response and what they kept out: SSRIs cross the placenta, change fetal brain development, and there is no proof they work at all- let alone prevent postpartum depression. You'll also hear why this is bigger than one drug class. It's about a system that medicalizes emotions and protects profit over people. If you want the truth the headlines won't give you, start here.

Fancy Scientist: A Material Girl Living in a Sustainable World
If you're involved in the wildlife or conservation field in any capacity, whether you are a current or aspiring career professional, someone volunteering their time to make the world better for wildlife, or simply just want to learn more to help out, chances are, you've struggled with the emotional toll that comes with trying to save a species, cope with the climate change crisis, get plastic out of our system, and the list goes on and on…Unfortunately, the nature of the conservation field (no pun intended) is inherently dealing with loss. And without giving ourselves the care and attention that we need, in addition to the Earth, these emotions can evolve into chronic conditions.Anxiety and depression are two such conditions that I have personally struggled with, have learned a lot about over the years, and now have largely overcome (although you'll notice in this episode I've had a lot of ups and downs). Also, I know that I'm not alone.Today I'm talking about my journey going on and now off of anti-depressants because I know many people in the wildlife field are struggling. I read Facebook posts from my friends who are struggling desperately in graduate school, and of course, I remember my own experiences while getting my PhD. Now, aspiring wildlife professionals are expected to work all the time, constantly put in their all, while their personal health and well-being take a backseat.Even major scientific journals like Nature and Science have started to take notice and publish many articles about graduate students struggling with mental health disorders. In addition to the challenges associated with biodiversity loss, those working towards becoming wildlife professionals are suffering due to the increased demands put on them driven by intense competition.This includes more papers to publish, more grant money to bring in, and the pressures of landing a job in this ultra-competitive field. It's tough for people to deal with. Even for entry-level jobs, expectations are much higher than they were just a couple of decades ago.In my decades of being in a wildlife and conservation field professional, I used anti-depressants really at the beginning of my career journey to help me cope. I thought there was something wrong with me that I just couldn't be happy without them. Although they have been a valuable resource for me, in the past few years, I've learned so much about my mind and have developed tools, practices, and more that have allowed me to go off of them completely – something I was told by several doctors that I would not be able to do. For today's podcast episode, I wanted to share this journey with you.Here, I detail my long and ongoing journey of dealing with anxiety and depression, and what I did to support my mental health to the point of no longer needing antidepressants.I recognize the value of antidepressants, and if you're currently on antidepressants, I'm not trying to convince you to go off them; rather, this is an episode about engaging in self-care. I provide you with the tools and mindset work that I've learned over the years. It's been truly effective, and the reason behind how I was able to go completely off my antidepressants.Specifically, I go over:How anxiety and depression are related to wildlife and conservationHow the demands of working in a wildlife career have changed over the yearsWhy focusing on mental health is essential and NEEDS to be a high priority for those in wildlife professions My personal journey going on and off of antidepressants: why and how I did itMy favorite books for teaching you how to truly love yourself and restructure your self-talkHow a healthy lifestyle and nature are essential tools that boost your mental healthOther mindset tools for dealing with mental health strugglesThe importance of prioritizing your self care and that mental health is healthAnd MORE!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist? Ready to turn your love of animals into a thriving career?
“I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring.” Those words were spoken at one time by David Bowie, and thus are gospel to us here on The Art of Longevity podcast. Fortunately, some bands still live by that same philosophy. For evidence, we revisit the world of Suede. Suede has refused to become boring. Somehow, this band of 40 years have gone the other way - more exciting and visceral than ever. Suede are not hanging about to become their own echo! Albums like Autofiction and now, its immediate follow-up Antidepressants are not just the proverbial ‘return to form' type records. They are nothing short of a reinvention. Mat Osman, co-founder member with Brett Anderson and bass player, shares his views on the new Suede record:“It feels like Autofiction on steroids. If Autofication was a TV show, Antidepressants is the film version. We took everything more widescreen with this record”. However, for Osman - you can forget about that old cliche of a band making music for themselves and hoping the world will agree (that's what Rick Rubin has been telling us with The Creative Act: A Way of Being and to be fair, more than a few artists have told me it works for them. It's not for Suede. Instead, the band's creative mission has been guided by their fans - their reactions at live shows, to the band directly, but also the band's own interpretation of what a Suede audience really wants. “A band without an audience isn't a band. It's a hobby,” Osman declares. That emotional connection is Mat's affirmation - fan tattoos of favourite songs, tears at gigs, and stories about Suede songs at weddings. This fan connection is Suede's compass in the band's 4th career phase. And so we return to a key central theme of longevity; usefulness to people. “As I get older, those moments where someone says, ‘That song helped me,' mean everything,” he reflects. “That's what I'm proud of. There's a community feel [between the band and the fans] that becomes more and more important. It's evident from this ‘Revisited' episode, that Mat Osman and Brett Anderson have a fair degree of telepathy on many things - a shared vision that no doubt has added focus to Suede's current run of creative form. They even agree on the most ironic thing about where Suede has arrived; that they were the least likely band to survive in the first place. “Longevity is not something we strived for, it just happened as a side effect of our bloody mindedness and passion for making music”.They still have it.

After 38 years as a primary care physician, Dr. Gary Sprouse noticed his stressed patients all knew they wanted less stress, but couldn't tell him where they wanted to be instead. This led him to develop his revolutionary "happy place" framework that's helping people transform their relationship with worry and anxiety. In this week's episode I dive deep into Gary's unique approach: why our greatest human skills create stress as side effects, the universal architecture of happiness, and his game-changing "shoebox method" for managing overwhelm. Gary gives us practical tools to transform worry into planning and build resilience in our anxiety-inducing modern world. As someone working with autoimmune conditions, I see how chronic stress impacts healing and how powerful it is when people learn to build their happy place.For the complete show notes, links and transcripts visit: inspiredliving.show/203

Does psychiatric medication withdrawal exist — or is it just a myth?For anyone who's lived through it, the question alone can feel insulting.Psychiatric drug withdrawal is real. While the experience varies widely, for many, it's not “brief and mild” as many guidelines state it is. It can be intense, destabilizing, and often misunderstood. One of the most painful challenges is trying to determine whether what you're experiencing is withdrawal or relapse.Unfortunately, current clinical guidelines don't help. They often frame withdrawal as short-lived and minor, dismissing anything more severe as a return of illness. A potentially dangerous oversimplification that can leave patients feeling gaslit or unsupported.In this interview, Dr. Mark Horowitz, a psychiatrist and researcher who's both studied and experienced withdrawal firsthand, unpacks a new JAMA study that exemplifies the problem: guidelines built on inadequate evidence.In this episode, you'll hear:Why current drug withdrawal guidelines fall shortOverview of the new JAMA paper Incidence and Nature of Antidepressant Discontinuation SymptomsThe critical distinction between withdrawal and relapseThe truth about psychiatric drug withdrawalHow to design better research that reflects real-world experiencesWhy this information is often not reaching cliniciansHow we can conduct research that can better inform patient supportDr. Horowitz's story is one of courage and insight. As a clinician, he had no idea how wrong the guidelines were, until he tried coming off medication himself. What he discovered was far more complex than anything he'd been taught.To those navigating psychiatric medication withdrawal — especially in the face of oversimplified headlines and a healthcare system not yet equipped to support you — our hearts go out to you. You deserve care that is informed, compassionate, and grounded in lived experience as well as science. We won't stop until you have this.Expert Featured:Dr. Mark HorowitzX: @markhoroWebsite: https://markhorowitz.org/Resources Mentioned:Incidence and Nature of Antidepressant Discontinuation Symptoms A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysishttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/28362623 Long-Term Psychiatric Medication Studieshttps://www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-3223(98)00126-7/abstracthttps://journals.lww.com/intclinpsychopharm/abstract/2002/09000/discontinuation_symptoms__comparison_of_brief.2.aspxhttps://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/interruption-of-selective-serotonin-reuptake-inhibitor-treatment/F0241958CB073C51F366E2AABE636B5DOutro Clinichttps://www.outro.com/The Maudsley Desprescribing Guidelines: Antidepressants, Benzodiazepines, Gabapentinoids and Z-drugs
A large systematic review has been released looking at antidepressant withdrawal symptoms. The meta-analysis examined the findings of 50 randomised controlled trials, involving 17,828 participants. The average age of the participants was 44, and 70 per cent were female. Health professionals in Australia say the review provides useful insights, and there is room for further research in this area. - एन्टिडिप्रेेसेन्ट औषधीको प्रयोग रोक्दा हुने ‘वीथ्ड्रअल' लक्षणहरूलाई लिएर झन्डै १८ मानिसहरू सहभागी भएको एउटा बृहत् प्रणालीगत समीक्षा सार्वजनिक गरिएको छ। अस्ट्रेलियामा कार्यरत स्वास्थ्यकर्मीहरूले उक्त समीक्षालाई उपयोगी बताएता पनि थप अनुसन्धान गरिनुपर्नेमा जोड दिएका छन्।
Summer is in full swing and that means while Dr. Karin and Pastor Elliott are out we are going back in time to Ep. 262 and replay one of our more popular episodes on mental health! We believe this topic is just as relevant today as it was back in 2023. Whether you're hearing this episode again or for the first time we hope it will empower you! We're in the midst of a mental health war. Over the last 50 years, we've raised awareness and developed abundant treatment options, yet Americans' rates of depression and anxiety continue to skyrocket (Whitaker, 2015).Today, Elliott and I discuss my reflections on his recent messages about the epidemics of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and addiction.We conceptualize the current mental health landscape as a war for two reasons: (1) because so many Americans battle psychological concerns and (2) professionals are in the midst of deeply contentious disputes regarding how to best treat clients' emotional distress.Pharmaceutical corporations and many psychiatrists view this issue through a medical model i.e. patients are diagnosed with psychiatric illnesses and are prescribed pills to manage symptoms. But despite an exponential increase in the use of psychotropic medications, the number of Americans filing disability claims due to mental conditions has tripled over the last two decades (Whitaker, 2015).Elliott and I argue that a “medicalized” framework pathologizes reasonable responses to trauma and pain; this frameworks also disempowers clients—which is both an unintended and unfortunate consequence. Furthermore, and very importantly, most pharmaceutical interventions for psychological conditions simply don't work as promised—if at all (Brogan, 2016, 2019; Whitaker, 2015).
