Wenn über Gewalt gegen Frauen gesprochen wird, steht zu Recht der Schutz der Betroffenen im Mittelpunkt. Doch wenn wir Gewalt langfristig verhindern wollen, müssen wir uns auch mit den Menschen beschäftigen, von denen sie ausgeht.Was bringt Männer dazu, aggressiv oder gewalttätig zu werden? Und was kann ein Mann tun, wenn er merkt: Ich habe meine Wut nicht mehr im Griff?Meli Tüchler und der psychotherapeutische Experte Daniel Martos sprechen mit Mag. Hubert Steger von der Männerberatung Wien darüber, was hinter männlicher Aggression stecken kann, welche Rolle Rollenbilder, Kränkungen, Überforderung, Eifersucht, Kontrollbedürfnis und die eigene Biografie spielen können – und wo die Grenze zwischen Erklärung und Entschuldigung liegt.Denn auch wenn ein gewalttätiger Mann selbst Gewalt, Vernachlässigung oder Trauma erlebt hat: Die Verantwortung für seine Handlungen bleibt bei ihm.Sie besprechen deshalb welche Warnzeichen es gibt, wie man lernen kann, mit Wut anders umzugehen und was genau in einer Gewaltberatung passiert. Sie klären ob wirklich erst etwas passieren muss, bevor ein Mann dort anrufen darf und wieso es so wichtig ist, offen darüber zu reden.Am Mittwoch, ab 22:00 Uhr auf kronehit. Ab Donnerstag ist die ganze Sendung, wie immer, auf allen gängigen Plattformen als Podcast verfügbar.

What if mental illness is actually a spiritual battle?My guest today is Skai Delacroix, a healer and teacher who spent three years in near-total silence and now works with people through his ZeroPoint method. What happened to him after that first year of samadhi is the part nobody talks about: the long collapse into psychiatric diagnoses, suicidal planning, and a body he could barely move. At one point in his story, paramedics couldn't lift him off the sidewalk because the gravitational pull was too strong. In another, he received a directive to walk himself into destruction on purpose. The through-line is the question: how do you tell the difference between guidance and psychosis when the voices sound identical?We also do a live ZeroPoint practice that shifted something in my chest I wasn't expecting.You'll learn:[0:00] Introduction[6:50] Witnessing a miracle even an atheist couldn't deny[14:54] Becoming susceptible to dark forces[21:12] Bipolar reframed as an imbalance between two selves[26:18] Turning back toward the light before the voice demanded he give up everything[39:59] Paramedics could not lift Skai's body off the ground[55:45] Learning to discern the true force from the adversary[1:02:02] The motivation behind the years of walking and extreme running[1:12:22] Paradise is right here, and removing the word fighting from the equation[1:32:49] Refining transgression from heroin to ice cream, and why the guru-disciple model is obsolete[1:46:50] The ZeroPoint vortex technique and a live practice to find the root of my cold[2:08:22] The contagious field and the dormant healing power we all carry Resources Mentioned:Ecstasy | WikipediaBipolar Disorder | WikipediaSchizophrenia | WikipediaReiki | WikipediaLao Tzu | WikipediaZero-Point Energy | WikipediaDouble Vortex | WebsiteSri Aurobindo | WikipediaFull show notes at lukestorey.com/skaiFind more from Skai:Skai Delacroix - Zero Point Earth | Website | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeRead: Three Years in Silence: One Soul's Fated Odyssey: From Human Indulgence to Divine Force by Skai Delacroix | BookFind more from Luke:Luke Storey | Website | Instagram | Facebook | X | YouTube | LinkedInMy new book, A Horse Named Lonesome, launches November 17, 2026.

The Lammy plan to eliminate half of U.K. criminal jury trials has provoked a rebellion among many lawmakers. Recent Palestine Action cases highlight the jury's moral role, with several “perverse verdicts” acquitting activists despite clear evidence. Yet those charged with the lesser offence of “supporting” PA have been denied a jury trial and the chance of acquittal.Compared with U.S. constitutional protections, including impartial juries, vicinage rules, challenges to biased pools, and post‑trial juror inquiry—the U.K. system appears increasingly problematic. In this lecture, Professor Clive Stafford Smith makes the case for stronger jury protections.This lecture was recorded by Clive Stafford Smith on the 17th of September 2026Clive Stafford Smith JD OBE is a dual UK-US national, the founder and director of  the Justice League a non-profit human rights training centre focused on fostering the next generation of advocates. He was the Senior Prefect at Radley College, where he studied maths and science; then a Morehead Scholar at the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill), where he took a degree in Politics; and a Stone Merit Scholar each of his three years at Columbia Law School, graduating in 1984. He previously founded and directed the legal action charities Louisiana Capital Assistance Center (1993 in New Orleans) and Reprieve (1999 in London). Since 1984 he has tried many capital cases, and helped to represent over 400 people facing execution in the US and elsewhere. He also brought the first challenge to Guantánamo Bay, where he has secured the release of 87 detainees, and continues to assist the remaining 15.  In all five of the cases he has helped bring to the U.S. Supreme Court the petitioner has prevailed. He has recently taken on the case of Aafia Siddiqui, the woman who has most suffered from the US rendition-to-torture program – abducted with her three children. He continues to work on capital cases in the US, including a Post-Mortem Project where he is investigating the claims of innocence of 184 people executed since 1977.Clive has published a number of books including Bad Men (2008, describing work in Guantánamo) and Injustice (2012, on the capital case of Kris Maharaj), both of which were short-listed for the Orwell Prize; and most recently The Far Side of the Moon (2023), deconstructing the parallel lives of his father and a client Larry Lonchar, both of whom were labelled Bipolar. He has many other publications, including manuals for the defence of capital cases, and law review articles about aspects of capital defence. He has worked on many films and documentaries, starting with Fourteen Days In May (1987), recently ranked as one of the top BBC documentaries of all time. While continuing his litigation practice, Clive teaches part time at Bristol Law School as well as running a summer programme for 35 students in Dorset, his home. He has received all kinds of awards in recognition of his work, including an OBE by Queen Elizabeth II for “services to humanity” in 2000. He has been a member of the Louisiana State Bar since 1984. The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/myth-juryGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Ein Bier beim Oktoberfest, ein Glas Wein zum Essen oder ein Drink mit Freund*innen: Alkohol gehört für viele Menschen ganz selbstverständlich zum gesellschaftlichen Leben. Aber wann wird aus Genuss Gewohnheit – und aus Gewohnheit Abhängigkeit? Meli Tüchler und Mag.a Romana Gilli sprechen darüber, wie problematischer Alkoholkonsum entsteht, welche Warnzeichen wir häufig übersehen und warum nicht nur entscheidend ist, wie viel jemand trinkt, sondern auch, warum. Muss man täglich trinken, um abhängig zu sein? Kann man ein Alkoholproblem haben und trotzdem im Job und Familienleben funktionieren? Was passiert, wenn Alkohol immer häufiger gegen Stress, Angst, Einsamkeit oder unangenehme Gefühle eingesetzt wird? Und wie können Angehörige reagieren? Außerdem schauen sie auf die aktuelle Diskussion rund um Brad Pitt. Nach sieben Jahren Abstinenz hat der Schauspieler öffentlich erzählt, wieder Alkohol zu trinken – nach eigener Aussage in deutlich eingeschränkterem Ausmaß. Kann „kontrolliertes Trinken“ nach problematischem Konsum tatsächlich funktionieren? Wann ist Abstinenz die bessere bzw. sicherere Strategie? Und warum lässt sich diese Frage nicht für jeden Menschen gleich beantworten? Am Mittwoch, ab 22:00 Uhr auf kronehit. Ab Donnerstag ist die ganze Sendung, wie immer, auf allen gängigen Plattformen als Podcast verfügbar.

The mental health system can feel confusing, frustrating, and sometimes downright impossible to navigate—especially when you live with bipolar disorder. But what if the problem isn't that the system is “broken,” what if it was simply designed for something different? In this episode, Gabe Howard (who lives with bipolar) and Dr. Nicole Washington take an honest look at how the mental health system works, from emergency rooms and psychiatric hospitalization to outpatient care, insurance limitations, medication management, and the lack of community support after hospitalization. They explain why understanding the system can help people with bipolar disorder set more realistic expectations and find ways to work within its limitations. Listeners Will Learn: ·      How the mental health system was designed – and how to better navigate it ·      How an advocate can help you be heard during a crisis ·      How to set more realistic expectations for treatment ·      Where patients and families can use their voices to advocate for change Most importantly, this episode isn't about blaming patients, doctors, or caregivers. It's about understanding how the system actually works, recognizing where you have power, and learning how to use your voice when you need care most. You may not be able to change the entire system, but you can learn to navigate it, prepare for its limitations, and advocate for better care. Understanding the system is the first step toward changing your experience within it. Listen now. “The mental health system isn't broken. It's designed this way. So how do you navigate it?” ~Gabe Howard, Host Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning podcast host, author, and sought-after suicide prevention and mental health speaker, but he wouldn't be any of those things today if he hadn't been committed to a psychiatric hospital in 2003.Gabe also hosts Healthline's Inside Mental Health podcast has appeared in numerous publications, including Bipolar magazine, WebMD, Newsweek, and the Stanford Online Medical Journal. He has appeared on all four major TV networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX.

If you ever feel the urge to occupy yourself entirely with learning about the directionality of stroller wheels, is it an all-wheel-drive baby stroller? There's dense literature on Reddit parenting forums. You'll come out more educated on strollers, and equally confused about which one to buy.But that's surface-level content. It gets much deeper. You might stumble on posts asking whether it's normal to hear cries that aren't really there in the middle of the night: phantom cries. They used to call it “insanity of lactation.” Now it's postpartum psychosis, a rare, severe condition distinct from postpartum depression. Postpartum depression is more common, affecting about one in eight people who give birth. Postpartum psychosis affects roughly one to two per 1,000 births. Depression can mean persistent sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion. Psychosis can involve hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized behavior, and it can be intermittent, hidden behind long lucid periods. That distinction has become central to the question surrounding Lindsay Clancy: did she have postpartum psychosis, or didn't she?

What if even the conditions that feel most hopeless, the ones you've been told no one can help, aren't the end of your story?In this episode of Triggered & True, Laura Duncan and co-host Brian Freise open the mailbag for a wide-ranging round of listener questions, from mental health to matters of faith. It's an honest, compassionate conversation that meets people right where they're stuck and offers real hope without ever over-promising.They begin with a tender one: does the Compassion Method help someone with OCD; the "doubting disease" where hope can feel scarce? Laura responds with deep empathy and reframes obsessive thinking as a protector, a survival strategy a child built to counter a world that felt too out of control, and explains how bringing in love and unmet needs can help the brain rewire and let those thoughts go. She extends the same hope to bipolar and other conditions she's encountered across 15 years of clients, always alongside, never in place of, the medical care people need. Then two faith questions: first, a listener worried that "using God as medicine" meant they shouldn't bring their pain to Him. Laura clarifies that it's the opposite, that medicating with God meant not actually bringing Him her pain.The second, whether the method is built on universalism, which Laura answers plainly (it isn't), while sharing her belief in Jesus and her wonder at the free will God preserves in us.In this episode:

Was ist eigentlich Autismus und wieso hört man gerade überall von „AuDHS“? Kann ein Mensch tatsächlich gleichzeitig ADHS und Autismus haben? Nachdem wir uns zuletzt ausführlich mit ADHS beschäftigt haben, geht der kronehit Psychotalk diesmal einen Schritt weiter. Meli Tüchler und der psychotherapeutische Experte Daniel Martos sprechen gemeinsam mit Psychiaterin Dr.in Cynthia Distler darüber, was Autismus eigentlich bedeutet, wie unterschiedlich sich das Autismus-Spektrum zeigen kann und was ADHS und Autismus unterscheidet – aber auch verbindet. Warum können soziale Situationen für autistische Menschen so anstrengend sein? Welche Rolle spielen Routinen, Spezialinteressen und Reizüberflutung? Was bedeutet „Masking“? Und warum erhalten manche Menschen ihre Diagnose erst im Erwachsenenalter? Außerdem schauen sie auf den Begriff AuDHS, also das gemeinsame Auftreten von Autismus und ADHS, und fragen, warum Neurodivergenz gerade auf Social Media so präsent ist. Wann kann das Wiedererkennen in Videos hilfreich sein – und wann wird aus Information eine vorschnelle Selbstdiagnose? Eine Folge über Autismus jenseits der Klischees – und darüber, wie unterschiedlich menschliche Gehirne die Welt erleben können. Am Mittwoch, ab 22:00 Uhr auf kronehit. Ab Donnerstag ist die ganze Sendung, wie immer, auf allen gängigen Plattformen als Podcast verfügbar.

A new study published in The American Journal of Psychiatry analyzed electronic health records from 2,086 individuals with bipolar disorder in Hong Kong treated between 2004 and 2023. While long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIAs) are already widely recognized for treating schizophrenia, robust comparative guidance for bipolar disorder has historically been limited. The researchers found that patients receiving LAIAs had a significantly lower risk of psychiatric hospitalization compared to those on traditional oral antipsychotics. In addition, the injectable treatments were tied to a reduced recurrence rate of manic and mixed episodes, offering compelling evidence for their expanded clinical role.

In this season 8 opener Rosy shares both her experience recovering from bipolar disorder and the heartbreak of watching her beloved son begin to show signs of an even more extreme form of bipolar disorder called schizoaffective disorder. This is a story in parallel, two lives deeply intertwined, yet also slowly tearing apart as her son's illness became increasingly severe.Support the showElemental Psychedelicshttps://www.elementalpsychedelics.com/Explore every episode through themes, domains, formats, and speakers.

Many people live with both bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The usual medicines for OCD can make bipolar moods swing more wildly. A new study points to a different option that may help without that risk.

This one's for anyone who's ever felt like they had to prove they were struggling before someone would finally believe them.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/loot-the-bodyThis time on Even Tacos Fall Apart I sat down with Loot the Body, a Twitch streamer, homeschool mom of seven, and mental health advocate who turns face painting into a way to open up hard conversations. She streams as Mental Health and Makeup, and her whole mission comes down to one line she lives by: your worth isn't something you earn, you already have it.Loot lives with bipolar disorder, and she walked us through what that actually looks like day to day, not the neat two month manic and two month depressive cycle people picture, but mood shifts that can hit four times in a two week stretch. During manic phases she'd chase validation in ways that hurt her marriage. During depressive ones sleep became her only escape from feeling like a failure. She talked openly about passive suicidal ideation, the kind where you're not trying to end your life but you catch yourself hoping you just don't wake up, and why that still counts as an emergency worth calling for help over.We got into her two week inpatient stay, the structure that helped her steady out, and the moment a doctor finally listened close enough to catch what years of misdiagnosis had missed. Getting the right diagnosis, she said, was one of the biggest steps toward learning to manage her illness instead of just surviving it.Loot also opened up about miscarriage, the ignorant comments she heard from people who meant well but had no idea what to say, and the one sentence that actually helped: it's okay to grieve. She talked about Poland syndrome, a condition she was born with that wasn't fully visible until puberty, and how she learned to stop apologizing for a body that didn't match anyone else's.Underneath all of it is a woman who homeschools seven kids, still finds time to crochet through her manic energy, and built a community on Twitch that gave her somewhere to land when her dad passed away suddenly. She's honest with her kids about what she's going through because bipolar disorder runs in her family and she wants them to see that naming a struggle out loud takes away its power, not adds to it.If you've ever felt like admitting you're struggling makes you weak, this conversation is going to hit different. Loot reminds us that one in two people will deal with a mental illness at some point in their life, so the odds are good that whoever you're talking to gets it more than you think. Self care isn't selfish, asking for help isn't failure, and feeling unheard by the people meant to help you is one of the hardest parts of getting better.Grab a taco, settle in, and listen to a conversation about bipolar disorder, mental health advocacy, and what it actually takes to keep showing up for yourself and your family when your brain is working against you.

Obsessive thoughts and chronic worry can make it difficult to relax, sleep, enjoy relationships, or even stay present in everyday life. But what does it actually mean when someone says they're having “obsessive thoughts,” and what can they do to break the cycle? In this episode, Gabe Howard (who lives with bipolar) and Dr. Nicole Washington explore the difference between everyday worry, excessive worry, and intrusive thoughts — and why that distinction matters when seeking help and choosing coping skills.  Together, they share practical strategies for getting out of the “roundabout of worry,” including coping skills like cognitive diffusion, reframing catastrophic thoughts, and thought postponement. Gabe also explains how he has used these strategies in his own life and how they helped him lead a more well-balanced life. Listeners will learn: why thoughts can feel true without being facts why making a “plan B” can reduce catastrophic thinking how to use the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique to reduce worry You don't have to believe every thought your brain produces. Learning to step back from worry, focusing on what you can control, and redirecting your attention can help break the cycle. Listen now to learn practical strategies for managing obsessive thoughts and worry with bipolar disorder.

Bipolar disorder is often misunderstood as emotional volatility, but beneath its surface lies a profound biological complexity involving neurotransmitters, genetics, circadian rhythms, and even cellular energy systems. In this podcast, I explore the scientific roots of manic and depressive episodes, the brain structures affected, and why treatments like lithium and antipsychotics work at the molecular level. Through the lens of biology, we can see bipolar disorder not as a character flaw, but as a deeply physical condition - one that demands empathy...and continued scientific inquiry.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared and Jen sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Roger McFillin for a challenging conversation about psychiatric diagnosis, mental health medications, and the medicalization of normal human struggle. Jen shares her experience of being prescribed Prozac at age 13 and spending decades living under diagnoses that shaped how she saw herself. Dr. McFillin explains why he has become an outspoken critic of his own profession and questions how conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD are diagnosed. They discuss the DSM, informed consent, psychiatric medications, emotional suppression, personal agency, and the powerful effect a diagnosis can have on identity. This conversation asks an important question: Are we helping people understand why they are struggling, or simply giving their struggles a name?Additional Information:Dr. Roger McFillin - Website + Podcast Dr. Roger McFillin Instagram Dr: Roger McFillin on X Dr. Roger McFillin Substack Center for Integrated Behavioral Health Jen's Story Episodes:264: Emotional Vitality423: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 2 - Rebalancing Mind and Body Through Supplementation438: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 3 - Weaning Off of Pharma457: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 4 - How Changing Your Mindset Can Change Your Life 505: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 5 - The Impact of Diet on Mental Health and Physical PainVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Mental health conditions are now the leading killer of new mothers in the United States. The CDC puts the number at nearly twenty-three percent of all pregnancy-related deaths, ahead of hemorrhage, ahead of heart failure. Over eighty percent were preventable. One in five mothers gets screened for depression after delivery.Those numbers sit behind the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy at Plymouth Superior Court. Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, killed her three young children at their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home in January 2023, less than three weeks after being released from a psychiatric facility. Prosecutors and her defense team agree she was mentally ill. The jury is weighing whether she was too ill to understand her actions.Her defense rests on postpartum psychosis, a psychiatric emergency affecting roughly one to two mothers per thousand births. Despite the name, clinicians describe it as a mood disorder that arrives fast and disguises itself as ordinary postpartum fatigue. Bipolar history and prior episodes are the clearest warning signs, both screenable before delivery. With early treatment the acute crisis resolves in weeks.Forensic psychiatrist Phillip Resnick testified for Clancy's defense. He also testified for Andrea Yates, who drowned her five children in 2001 and was ultimately found not guilty by reason of insanity. Meghan Cliffel, a postpartum psychosis survivor from 2015, questions why the system waits for dead children before it pays attention.END_LINKS:Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

I'm a therapist who 's had enough of therapy culture!One of my biggest pet peeves with it is the way we've turned mental health diagnoses into explanations for human beings. Depression. Anxiety. ADHD. Bipolar disorder. Narcissism. We throw these labels around as though they explain *why* someone thinks, feels, and behaves the way they do. They don't. A diagnosis tells you the WHAT. It does not tell you the WHY.This week, I'm digging into what psychiatric diagnoses actually are, how they evolved, what we really know about “chemical imbalances," and what can happen when a diagnostic label becomes part of someone's identity. Your suffering is real. Your symptoms are real. But you are a human being first—and your humanity, your history, your relationships, your pain, and your adaptations deserve to be understood. The label should never take the place of the human being.Follow Vanessa: https://www.instagram.com/vanessathetherapist/Follow the show: https://www.instagram.com/theworkofbeinghuman/

El Mundo de Cabeza - Corazón bipolar, Pamela Izurieta by FM Mundo 98.1

An FBI profiler thinks Lindsay Clancy is a psychopath who was sick of her kids. That's how one commenter puts it, citing Pat Brown, with Matt Walsh as a second vote. The commenter rejects both of them. She's closer to the record than the people she quoted.Pat Brown was never in the FBI. She's an independent, self-taught profiler with a criminal justice master's who has written that she felt too old to join the Bureau and built her own practice instead. She has posted videos arguing Lindsay fabricated her psychosis. Matt Walsh is a political commentator who wrote that the real source of Lindsay's depression was a selfish hatred of her children. Neither has examined her or testified."Sick of her kids" isn't a fringe idea, though. It's the prosecution's theory in plainer words. Prosecutors told the jury Lindsay was controlling and killed the children because she was no longer satisfied with her life. That's a claim being weighed, and the jury hasn't ruled on it."Psychopath" is something else entirely, and the difference is the whole trial. A psychopath knows exactly what's real and doesn't care. Psychosis means losing track of what's real. The defense experts diagnosed postpartum psychosis. The prosecution's experts rejected that and said major depression or bipolar II. No one who examined her, either side, said psychopath or personality disorder.This segment covers five comments about Patrick and the system. What he did in December 2022, dated by testimony. The five words he said when a nurse raised bipolar. The Manhattan move that happened exactly when the comment says it did. The thirteen medications, which are documented. And what happens to Lindsay under each verdict.Opinions about Patrick are fair. Credentials are checkable. Diagnoses come from the witness stand.END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Day 19 of the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Plymouth Superior Court, and the prosecution's rebuttal case fell apart in slow motion. Forensic psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun called the postpartum psychosis defense "convenient," offered the clearest alternate theory yet, and then said the words "isn't suicide a mortal sin" in front of the jury. Kevin Reddington moved for a mistrial. Judge William Sullivan denied it and then reprimanded the prosecution anyway. The jury went home early. Closing arguments are Wednesday.But the story nobody is covering is the firm. Both of the Commonwealth's rebuttal experts were retained through Park Dietz and Associates, named for the psychiatrist whose false Law & Order testimony got Andrea Yates' conviction overturned in 2005. The defense's star witness on Friday was Dr. Phillip Resnick, who was the Yates defense expert. This trial is a rematch, and the two prosecution experts cannot even agree on what is wrong with Lindsay Clancy.IN THIS EPISODEReddington takes apart Dr. Avram Mack on the DSM's four week postpartum window, the WHO's different standard, and the proposed six week revision. "Postpartum is not a disease, doctor." Mack admits it is roughly the third time in his career he has testified on criminal responsibility, and that he has treated about ten women with postpartum psychosis since 2001. On cross he concedes that blood work and thyroid testing should have been done, and as far as he can tell were not.Then the firm. Park Dietz and Associates, the Andrea Yates conviction reversal, the joint evaluation at Tewksbury, and why "two independent experts" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.Then Heilbrun. His testing found no malingering and a slight tendency to underreport symptoms. He diagnosed bipolar II, which splits the Commonwealth's own two experts. He offered "suicide combined with altruistic filicide" as the alternate theory, a theory in which love is the motive. He attacked the 18 minute voice on three fronts. And he used the word "convenient."Then the mistrial. "Intentional misconduct," Sullivan's instruction from the bench, and the second time religion has entered this trial through the prosecution's door.SOURCESBoston Globe, CBS Boston, ABC News, Boston 25 News, CNN, Fox News Digital, Court TV, and archival reporting from the Washington Post, NBC News and Psychiatric News on the 2005 Andrea Yates reversal.IF YOU NEED ITNational Maternal Mental Health Hotline: call or text 1-833-TLC-MAMA.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how we search for information, make decisions, and even seek mental health support. But can AI therapy safely help people living with bipolar disorder? In this episode, Gabe Howard (who lives with bipolar) and Dr. Nicole Washington explore the potential benefits and risks of using artificial intelligence for bipolar management. They discuss why people may trust AI more than doctors or therapists, what can happen when an AI chatbot validates thoughts that should instead raise a red flag, and whether AI can recognize dangerous symptoms of mania, depression, psychosis, or suicidality. The conversation isn't entirely negative. AI could help reduce clinician burnout, analyze patterns in mental health data, identify potential mood changes, and give people useful ideas for sleep, routines, motivation, and self-care. Listeners will learn: how artificial intelligence can help — and harm — people with bipolar disorder why human mental health care still matters how to use AI safely and protect your mental health So where should people with bipolar disorder draw the line? Gabe and Dr. Nicole discuss the promise, risks, profit motive, and safeguards that are still needed before AI becomes a trusted part of mental health care. Pull Quote: “AI thinks really quick.

Day 17 was the shortest day of the Lindsay Clancy trial and possibly the day that decides it.One witness. Sheila Cavanaugh, a board-certified chaplain at Brigham and Women's Hospital who has visited Lindsay Clancy roughly 200 times since her three children were killed. She was there the day after. She was there when they pulled the breathing tube out on January 31, 2023, and Clancy's first words were that she was glad her children were safe. And she was there when Clancy described a persistent male voice that told her if she did not follow the command, neither she nor her children would be safe.That date matters. The Commonwealth's timeline says the first report of voices came on February 6. The chaplain just moved it up six days, and the defense now has two sources placing the voice earlier than the prosecution's story allows.Then Jennifer Sprague got up and ran the sharpest cross of the week: you wrote down everything else, so why is the voice not in your notes?Outside, about 300 women in pink stood silent on the courthouse lawn in a demonstration called Stand in Peace, organized by a woman who drove down from Maine. Shirts that said "She Needed Help." Applause for a defense attorney.And after the jury went home before lunch, the lawyers stayed and had the most consequential argument of the entire trial: what instructions the jury gets. Involuntary intoxication, in or out. Involuntary manslaughter as a lesser charge, in or out. First degree, second degree, or both. Those three answers determine the shape of every possible verdict in this case, and not one juror was in the room to hear it.Plus: why Judge Sullivan pulled every juror aside individually for the first time in 17 days, what Dr. Phillip Resnick's filicide research has to do with Friday's testimony, why the Commonwealth stacking three rebuttal experts tells you something, and a Reality Check on what happens when a murder trial becomes a movement.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy is underway in Plymouth Superior Court, and the diagnoses on the table just multiplied. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is charged with killing her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangling them with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She then allegedly tried to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, an injury that left her paralyzed from the waist down. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. Her defense, led by Kevin Reddington, rests on an insanity claim built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.The prosecution's rebuttal witness had a different diagnosis in mind entirely. Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist who reviewed Clancy's medical records and evaluated her in April 2026, told jurors that assessing someone's mental state requires looking at who they were at the time of the act itself. He described a patient who showed no interest in her hygiene, the hospital's food, or the other patients around her — though she did have visitors on occasion. Mack noted she's taking numerous psychiatric medications, all at low doses.His diagnosis: a major depressive episode within major depressive disorder. Not bipolar disorder — he testified he saw nothing in her records pointing to mania or hypomania. And notably, not postpartum psychosis either, which is the diagnosis the defense has built its entire case around.Patrick Clancy, her husband, was running errands when the killings happened and has since moved to Manhattan. The trial is expected to continue for several more weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this very powerful interview with Louise Barnett, host of the Unmasking Sobriety and Mental Health podcast, we explore what it's like living with Bipolar 1 disorder pre and post diagnosis. Louise speaks candidly about her first 15 years of life feeling like Jekyll and Hyde, unplanned motherhood, alcohol addiction, and her upcoming memoir Tainted Love: A Bipolar Memoir. Throughout this episode, Louise shares her own strategies for living well despite having a mental illness and the importance of self awareness and acceptance.

First, Jason tells a mile-a-minute story about visiting an escort in a boarded-up Seattle trap house after relapsing on meth. After smoking crack for the first time, he returns from the bathroom to discover that the escort has taken his phone, wallet and keys. She demands $400—including a mandatory $50 tip—and summons a huge man armed with a nine iron. Held hostage and threatened with death, Jason secretly texts his roommate, who sends the police crashing through the door. Then Dave and Chris return in 2016 with their brand-new Yeti microphone. They debate potential sponsors, remember Leonardo DiCaprio completely ignoring Dave, and discuss the grim reality of losing friends to overdoses. Chris tells the story of a longtime friend whose drug use triggered manic and psychotic episodes. After hearing Dave describe Leonardo DiCaprio as “Teflon,” the friend is approached by police while behaving erratically, tears off his shirt and repeatedly screams, “I'm Leonardo DiCaprio!” The conversation expands into bipolar disorder, substance-induced mania, grandiosity, Jesus delusions and the difficulty of getting someone appropriate psychiatric care when they can appear normal for an hour. Dave's friend John then calls with recordings of his frightening former roommate. John survived the living situation by recording every confrontation with his phone—including an incredible argument in which the roommate becomes convinced that John bought a scratched, secondhand toilet seat online. The episode finishes with early Dopey shenanigans: Chris's abandoned mindfulness calendar, Dave receiving weed as a Secret Santa gift immediately after getting sober, and a mysterious half-ounce of marijuana left underneath a table at Katz's. All that and lots more on this new but also old episode of dopey. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Surviving eight shots of Narcan at twelve years old is one hell of an introduction to chronic illness, and for Haylee, that was just the tip of the iceberg. Meet Haylee, a master's student living with an absolute alphabet soup of diagnoses, including Cerebral Palsy, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), ARFID, AuDHD, OCD, and a recent addition of Bipolar disorder. In this raw and intimate conversation, Haylee breaks down what life is actually like when your body and brain are constantly clashing. From surviving a 26-hour leg surgery and an accidental morphine overdose at just twelve years old, to navigating the cold, isolating reality of transitioning out of pediatric care, Haylee doesn't hold back. She opens up about the trauma of medical PTSD, getting an ableist university professor fired, navigating safe-food obsessions, and using music and song-writing to quiet her brain during manic episodes. It's an honest, eye-opening look at disability, identity, and proving everyone, including her doctors, wrong.Follow Sickboy: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickboypodcastTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sickboypodcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/expeUDN

Lindsay Clancy trial Day 10 recap. Her psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, testified for five hours and revealed she treated Clancy fourteen times over five months without ever meeting her in person, never pulled her psychiatric hospital records, and never knew about two crisis line calls. Then the entire trial turned on an argument about a comma. Robin breaks down every witness, what the Commonwealth is actually required to prove under Massachusetts law, why the jury is not entertaining any theory about Patrick Clancy, and a verdict prediction based on where the evidence stands after Day 10.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

Rebecca Jollotta, the psychiatric nurse practitioner certified by Postpartum Support International, went back on the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.After the morning recess, Jollotta picked up where she left off, walking jurors through an ongoing stream of MyChart messages between herself and Clancy. She testified that at a December 6, 2022 appointment — one Patrick Clancy attended alongside his wife — she raised the possibility of an underlying bipolar disorder. Jollotta said she was worried enough about Clancy's mental state that she wanted to see her every single week. And in a detail that's going to sit heavy with anyone following this case: Jollotta testified Lindsay did report suicidal ideation, just never on the days Jollotta was actually in the room to hear it.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick Clancy was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to run several more weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Many people wonder whether their bipolar diagnosis is correct. Maybe your symptoms don't match what you've learned. Maybe other circumstances — like trauma or substance use — better explain what you've experienced. Or maybe you've simply never felt confident that bipolar disorder is the accurate diagnosis. Where do you go from here? In this episode, Gabe Howard, who lives with bipolar, and board certified psychiatrist Dr. Nicole Washington explain why diagnosing bipolar disorder is rarely straightforward, what psychiatrists actually look for during a psychiatric evaluation, and why getting a second opinion is often a thoughtful step and not an act of denial. You'll also learn why diagnosis isn't based on a single appointment, why honest conversations about symptoms and substance use matter, and how confirmation bias and other systemic issues can influence mental health care. Dr. Nicole shares what a real psychiatric reevaluation looks like, how long it typically takes, and why the goal isn't to prove someone right or wrong, but rather to find the most accurate diagnosis possible. Listener takeaways: understand why diagnosis is an investigation that takes weeks or months — not one appointment why questioning a diagnosis isn't the same as denying one how to advocate for yourself while maintaining an open mind why a bipolar diagnosis is more complicated than many people realize If you've ever wondered, "Do I really have bipolar disorder?", this conversation will help you understand what questions to ask, what to expect from the diagnostic process, and why the best mental health care is built on collaboration and not assumptions.

Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Gwen Isaac ('Ms. Information', 'Where There is Life') has turned the lens to her own life, exploring growing up with a bipolar mother in small town New Zealand. Gwen's mother, Merrilyn Isaac, nicknamed "Mad Merry", was a gifted painter living with bipolar disorder in the 80's - a time when little was understood about the condition. Her life became that of local folklore. 'Be Merry' marks Gwen's most personal documentary to date, documenting her return to her Far North hometown to untangle fact from family legend, and motherhood from mental illness. She speaks with Kate Rodger ahead of the upcoming Christchurch and Wellington NZIFF screenings.
