Podcasts about Bipolar

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. So every rabbit hole I jump down follows me right along. For mania? It's gas on a fire.” — 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.

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?

Patreon: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast DopeyCon Tickets: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 Summary: On this Dopey Total Replay, Dave revisits episode 41—the first episode he and Chris recorded with an actual microphone and one of the earliest shows to explore bipolar disorder, mania, drug-induced psychosis and mental illness. 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?

The recent $14.1 million False Claims Act settlement against Complete Health Partners Holdings, a management services organization operating provider groups in Florida, Alabama, and Colorado, brings to light the role coders can play in False Claims Act cases.In this instance, it was alleged that Complete Health Partners Holdings directed physicians to add high-value, risk-adjusting codes for Drug and Alcohol Dependence and Major Depressive, Bipolar, and Paranoid Disorders to the medical records of Medicare Advantage patients when those codes were not indicated.So, listen and learn when special guest Liz Soltan, counsel for Whistleblower Partners, will discuss the role of coders in these cases.The popular weekly Internet broadcast will also feature these additional instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments:• POV: Penny Jefferson, Manager of Coding & Clinical Documentation Integrity Services for the University of California-Davis Medical Center, will share her point of view during the broadcast.• CDI Report: Cheryl Ericson will provide an update on all things clinical documentation integrity (CDI).• SDoH Report: Tiffany Ferguson will report on news happening at the intersection of compliance and medical record coding.• The Coding Report: Christine Geiger will report on the latest coding news.• Talk Ten Tuesday News Desk: Timothy Powell, will deliver the latest news from the Talk Ten Tuesday News Desk.

Whether we're in front of the camera or behind the scenes in a high-pressure job, many of us carry an internal dialogue telling us we aren't enough. In this episode, Dr. B sits down with filmmaker and clinical social worker Mari Moxley to peel back the layers on why we often sacrifice our true selves just to be "palatable" to others.Together, they dive deep into the reality of negative self-talk, the "micro-griefs" we experience every day, and why choosing authenticity even when it leads to rejection is the ultimate act of mental strength. If you've ever felt like you're performing a version of yourself just to belong, there is peace waiting for you on the other side of that performance.In This Episode:The impact of negative self-talk and daily "micro-griefs"Why we sacrifice authenticity to feel acceptedHow to step out of performance mode and embrace your true selfResources & Links Mentioned:Free Training: Register for our free training todayWatch the Documentary: Watch the full documentary hereJoin the Mission: Sign up for our mailing listOfficial Website: Mentally STRONGAbout Mari Moxley: Mari Moxley's background in clinical social work and philosophy fuels her passion for crafting film stories that highlight diverse human perspectives.

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.

What happens when mania meets a casino - or a gambling app? Award-winning gambling researcher Dr. Luke Clark breaks down the science on why bipolar disorder and gambling are so closely linked, why gambling can feel completely rational during mania, and how modern gambling apps exploit the brain's reward system. Dr. Clark also identifies the highest-risk forms of gambling for people with bipolar disorder and shares evidence-based treatments, practical tools, and strategies to reduce gambling-related harm.(00:00) Why Is Bipolar Disorder Linked to Gambling?(04:03) Why Gambling Feels Rational During Mania(09:26) How Gambling Apps Hijack the Bipolar Brain(15:45) Top 3 Most Dangerous Forms of Gambling for Bipolar(21:32) Treatments for Bipolar GamblingDr. Luke Clark is a global expert on the psychology of gambling.

Pastor John teaches through 1 Kings 18 and 19 in this message, following Elijah from his bold contest with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel straight into deep discouragement in the wilderness. It shows how even the most faithful people can crash after a huge spiritual victory, and how God responds not with rebuke but with rest, food, and a gentle, still small voice rather than wind, earthquake, or fire. Elijah believed he was the only one left faithful, but God reminds him thousands had never bowed to false gods. Discouragement distorts what's true, and God meets people in it with patience rather than blame.

In this honest conversation, Shaley Hoogendoorn sits down with returning guest Lee Formella to talk about what it's has been like living with bipolar disorder as a man.

What is racism, really?

Some topics are controversial and might be appropriate or inappropriate. A commencement speaker at the University of Central Florida learned this recently. He was introducing some ideas about artificial intelligence and earned a lot of boos from the graduates when he declared that artificial intelligence would be “the next industrial revolution.” Then a little later, he remarked that “only a few years ago, AI was not a factor in our lives.” This earned cheers. Obviously, there were differences of opinion. Experts described artificial intelligence as a bipolar topic with that group. When you address a topic, if you really believe that you are speaking the truth, speak up. If you are not sure whether you are speaking the truth or not, it's best to pick another subject. Bipolar topics must be carefully selected and dealt with.

This really is a bibliography of what the reformed, informed past generations wrote about the subject of "spiritual melancholy." A bibliography of their writings. This has been on my heart for awhile to be the subject of a podcast. So I trust you won't be wasting your time.

Der Autor Elias Gottstein geht auf große Expedition in die USA. Eigentlich auf der Suche nach politischen Maßnahmen gegen die innere Zerrissenheit des Landes entdeckt er plötzlich in seinem Reisegefährten Anselm das wichtigere Thema seines Features: Die Bipolarität. Denn Anselm ist bipolar, schwankt zwischen gigantomanen Projekten und großer Niedergeschlagenheit. Ist das nicht eine gute Metapher für die Gespaltenheit der USA? All das wird verpackt in reinen Irrsinn und unreine Reime, wir erleben unglaubliche Begegnungen und unerquickliche Zugfahrten: Ein schräges, akustisches Gonzo-Roadmovie. Von Elias Gottstein NDR 2026

EPISODE 147: Johnny Manchild And The Poor Bastards' new album, SIDE EFFECTS, is due out on July 24th and is produced, engineered, mixed, and arranged by Johnny Manchild himself. The new release expands their sound from its solid base of alt-rock with a power pop punk influence and piano to include heavier guitars, a full horn section, and hints of industrial noise, along with rapid-fire vocals.  In support of SIDE EFFECTS, Johnny Manchild And The Poor Bastards will kick off an extensive United States tour in their hometown of Oklahoma City, OK on album release date, next Friday, July 24th. Since 2016, Johnny Manchild has led an ever-evolving musical lineup, affectionately dubbed The Poor Bastards. The collective has produced five albums, a multitude of singles and videos and has participated in numerous tours. Manchild's genesis took place in Oklahoma City, where at the ripe age of 8, he began to hone his musical abilities in a cover band before joining his first original band at 10 years old. At 12, he began building a rudimentary home studio and teaching himself all the instruments needed to record his early attempts at songs. He continued cutting his teeth by performing in punk bands and recording bands in the OKC area, until graduating high school and joining the US Army Band. Shortly after the completion of his basic training, he enrolled in the jazz performance program at the University of Central Oklahoma, refining his skills until his efforts resulted in his debut album, VALENCIA, in 2017. From his first release, Johnny Manchild has attracted a devout following who will literally follow him anywhere. With each offering the numbers have grown, and the word of Manchild has spread. In 2024, he self-booked 52 fan-hosted house shows in 3 days, touring over six weeks throughout America and Canada to meet his fans where they were. manchild.band Contact us: makingsoundpodcast.comFollow on Instagram: @makingsoundpodcastFollow on Threads: @jannkloseJoin our Facebook GroupPlease support the show with a donation, thank you for listening!

New evidence from the first-ever RCT shows ketogenic therapy can rapidly improve metabolic health in schizophrenia-spectrum and bipolar I disorders, and shows early signals of psychiatric improvement.In this video, Dr. Bret Scher breaks down this newly published study led by Dr. Judith Ford at UCSF: the first randomized controlled trial with peer-reviewed results investigating ketogenic therapy in people with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders and bipolar-1 disorder with psychotic features.You'll learn:How the study was designed (a 1-month randomized phase plus an optional 3-4 month single-arm extension)What happened in the first 30 days (clear improvements in metabolic markers; psychiatric outcomes showed trends that did not reach statistical significance in the randomized portion)What improved over longer follow-up in the extension phase (encouraging changes in metabolic health, cognition, and psychiatric measures)Why this matters for patients and families today, and what future, longer controlled trials need to confirmPublished in Schizophrenia Bulletin and funded by the NIMH and Baszucki Group, this study adds to the growing literature on the potential benefit of ketogenic therapy for psychiatric disorders.These results indicate the need for larger, extended randomized controlled trials to test the safety and efficacy of ketogenic therapy in patients living with serious mental illness.

The congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein has increasingly taken on the appearance of political theater rather than a disciplined effort to uncover the full scope of Epstein's trafficking network. What began as a bipartisan promise to bring transparency to one of the most disturbing criminal cases in modern history has gradually devolved into a spectacle marked by partisan grandstanding, media soundbites, and chaotic hearings. Members of Congress have spent as much time arguing with one another and chasing headlines as they have examining the mountain of evidence tied to Epstein's operation. Witness lists have shifted unpredictably, subpoenas have been issued and contested in dramatic fashion, and committee members have often used hearings as opportunities to score political points rather than pursue methodical investigative work. The result has been an investigation that frequently looks less like a serious congressional probe and more like a stage for political performance.Critics argue that this circus-like atmosphere has undermined the credibility of the investigation and distracted from the core question of accountability for Epstein's crimes and the network that enabled him. Rather than presenting a unified effort to follow the evidence wherever it leads, the investigation has been plagued by conflicting narratives, procedural disputes, and public confrontations that generate headlines but little clarity. Victims' advocates and transparency groups have expressed frustration that the focus often drifts toward political drama instead of the systemic failures that allowed Epstein to operate for years. The chaotic nature of the hearings has also given skeptics ammunition to dismiss the entire process as partisan infighting rather than a legitimate search for truth. In the end, the spectacle threatens to obscure the very purpose of the investigation: establishing how Epstein's trafficking operation persisted for so long and why so many institutions failed to stop it.to contact me:Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Why is it so easy to believe that every setback, unfinished task, messy room, or missed opportunity means you're failing? And why do so many people living with bipolar disorder automatically assume that everyone else has life figured out? After receiving an email from a listener managing feelings of worthlessness, Gabe Howard (who lives with bipolar) and Dr. Nicole Washington tackle one of the most painful and least discussed realities of bipolar disorder: the damage it can do to your sense of self. Listeners will learn: why comparing yourself to others often leads to unnecessary stress practical ways to challenge negative self-talk and self-criticism why bipolar disorder can intensify feelings of self-doubt why accepting the difficulty of managing bipolar disorder doesn't mean you're giving up If you've ever looked at your life and wondered whether bipolar disorder has permanently damaged your ability to be happy, successful, or fulfilled, this episode offers something more valuable than easy answers: a thoughtful conversation about how to move forward without letting the diagnosis define your worth. Cold Open Transcript: Gabe: There's no scientific or medical way that you can prescribe somebody something and make them feel better about living with bipolar disorder. And please correct me if I'm wrong, Dr. Nicole. Dr. Nicole: Not, not 100%. I can't give you a magic pill that will make you all of a sudden feel like you have value and worth, that makes you wake up the next day and say oh, how valuable am I to the world?

A prescription is supposed to help you get your life back. What happens when it quietly takes it away instead? I sit down with Stephanie Starr, a program manager and graduate student, whose search for mental health support after a traumatic birth turned into a devastating chain of misdiagnosis, escalating medications, and loss of trust in healthcare.Stephanie walks us through being told she had bipolar disorder, being put on a rotating “cocktail” of psychiatric meds, and how side effects and instability can snowball into riskier choices, deeper shame, and substance use. We talk openly about benzodiazepines, the warning signs of a pill mill style clinic, and why “just follow doctor's orders” is not enough when the diagnosis is shaky and the treatment plan only involves more and more medication. Her story also includes the realities of trauma, a suicide attempt, and the way stigma can show up in the very places people go for help.From there, we shift into recovery and what actually sustains it. Stephanie shares how faith and a higher power became central for her, while also naming the harm that can happen in faith-based recovery spaces that push “just pray it away” thinking or shame people who need medication. We dig into emotional sobriety, AA-style accountability, therapy tools like EMDR, and how learning to tolerate discomfort can be a turning point in addiction recovery.If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find the show.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

For many, a surge of energy, creativity, and expansive mood can feel like an absolute gift. For those living with bipolar disorder, a hypomanic episode feels less like a symptom and more like winning the mental health lottery. But beneath this romanticized exterior lies a sneaky and potentially destructive reality. In this episode, Gabe Howard (who lives with bipolar) and Dr. Nicole Washington break down the complex nuances of hypomania. Dr. Nicole explains the hidden risks of leaving these episodes unchecked and Gabe opens up about the difficulty of distinguishing between genuine happiness and a brewing clinical episode, providing a raw look at the internal tug-of-war patients face. Listeners will Learn: Teasing out the differences between having a great day and experiencing an abnormally expansive mood Why a decreased need for sleep is a massive red flag rather than a newfound productivity hack Learn the functional differences between mania from hypomania Acknowledge that romanticizing a hypomanic high often ignores the depressive plunge that follows Whether you are navigating a bipolar 2 diagnosis, wanting to understand the role hypomania plays in a bipolar 1 diagnosis, or supporting a loved one this conversation delivers straight talk without the medical jargon. Tune in to learn how to spot the warning signs, establish safety guardrails, and safely navigate the deceptive highs of hypomania. Listen Now!

Hannah Murray found fame when she was just 17, playing the self-destructive Cassie in E4's Skins. She juggled an English degree at Cambridge University alongside playing Gilly in HBO's Game Of Thrones and went on to film Detroit, directed by Kathryn Bigelow. When the physical and mental stress required from these roles began to take its toll, Murray sought treatment from a reiki healer. From there, her life began to spiral as she became heavily involved with a ‘healing' organisation whose promises of real-life magic and enlightenment were increasingly seductive. She ended up being sectioned after a psychotic break and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Now, she has written her first book. The Make-Believe: A Memoir of Magic and Madness is a deeply personal account of these events, written with compulsive lyricism. It takes readers on a journey to the edges of reality, where magic is possible, and where the liminal space between what is real and what is imagined becomes ever more porous. In this episode we delve into Hannah's breakdown and what it taught her. We discuss living with BPD, her decision to quit acting and why, as a society, it's so important to talk about severe mental health conditions - even if it makes us uncomfortable. Plus: when does our modern obsession with ‘wellness' go too far? ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 04:30 Acting Roles and Emotional Toll 07:51 The Memoir 09:17 Traumatic Filming and Aftermath 11:57 Failure to Be Happy Always 16:06 Rapture Highs and Bipolar 18:14 Reiki Rabbit Hole and Cult Questions 28:50 Wellness as Addiction 30:25 Hotel Breakdown Begins 32:17 Exorcism and Delusions 33:26 Realizing You're Sectioned 35:18 Medication and Coming Back 36:12 Shame to Compassion 42:55 Bipolar Mania Explained 48:41 Leaving Acting and Moving On

There is no Tom behind TOMS Shoes. It's short for “Tomorrow's.” There is a Blake, however. Blake Mycoskie founded the company in 2006 under the model that for every pair sold, a second pair would be donated to children in the developing world. TOMS took off, which meant years of constant work for Blake, traveling the world telling the TOMS story, and ultimately getting burned out and selling the company. Despite all the snowboarding he could now do, Blake found himself without purpose and lonely (all his friends worked at the company he just quit because those were the only people he had time to see.) His mental health crashed. He became depressed and anxious for the first time ever, considered suicide, and traveled the world trying every kind of treatment he could find. In the end, getting off meds that were wrong for him and good therapy helped him find the core wound that had been driving him all those years and set out to address it. Blake Mycoskie has a new podcast, No Magic Pill, about how people seek to solve their problems. Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.
