What if healing from depression wasn't just about medication but about something deeper—something immersive, transformational, and rooted in community? A groundbreaking study on Tony Robbins' Date with Destiny program revealed astonishing results: 100% of participants studied experienced remission from depressive symptoms in just six weeks. Sounds almost too good to be true, right? In this episode, we dive into how immersive experiences can create rapid, lasting change and why a holistic approach—including personal development, spirituality, and deep human connection—might be the missing link in mental health.Could a powerful experience shift your entire outlook on life? What role does spirituality play in healing that science often overlooks? We explore these questions and more, unpacking the synergy between medication and personal growth, the importance of having a clear direction, and how the universe tends to meet you where you are—if you're willing to take the first step. Plus, we'll share practical ways you can seek out transformational experiences in your own life.

Leanne Williams is an expert in depression. The first thing that she wants the world to know is that depression is not some sort of character flaw, but a real illness with symptoms that can impair one's ability to function day to day. The past decade has seen remarkable advances, she says, as functional MRI has opened new avenues of understanding depression's mechanisms and its treatments. These are hopeful times for the science of depression, Williams tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Join us as we dive back into the world of psychedelic medicine with anesthesiologists Boris Heifets and Theresa Lii, who share intriguing new data that sheds light on how ketamine and placebo effects may interact in treating depression.We explore provocative questions like: How much of ketamine's antidepressant effect comes from the drug itself versus the excitement of being in a psychedelics trial? What do we know about how placebo actually works in the brain? And should we view the placebo effect as a feature rather than a bug in psychiatric treatment?Join us as we examine the complex interplay between psychoactive drugs, the brain's own opioid system, and the healing power of hope in mental health care.Related researchPreprint: Opioids Diminish the Placebo Antidepressant Response: A Post Hoc Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Ketamine Trial (medRxiv, 2024)Randomized trial of ketamine masked by surgical anesthesia in patients with depression (Nature Mental Health, 2023)Related episodesPsychedelics, placebo, and anesthetic dreams | Boris Heifets (Part 1) Psychedelics Inside Out: How do LSD and psilocybin alter perception? | Boris Heifets (Part 2)OCD and Ketamine | Carolyn RodriguezPsychedelics and Empathy: Why are psychiatrists taking a fresh look at MDMA? | Rob MalenkaRelated newsResearchers find response to ketamine depends on opioid pathways, but varies by sex (Stanford Medicine, 2024)The rebirth of psychedelic medicine (Wu Tsai Neuro, 2023)Can Psychedelic Drugs Treat Physical Pain?

In today's episode of Embracing Your Season, Paige shares an interview from her recent trip to AACC (American Association of Christian Counselors) in Dallas, TX with Dr. Gregory Jantz. Dr. Jantz is a nationally certified psychologist, a licensed mental health counselor, the author of over 45 books, and the founder of The Center, a Top 10 Facility for Depression Treatment. Together, Paige and Dr. Jantz discuss how to identify a toxic individual and the steps we can take to instill boundaries, have compassion and gentleness in confrontation, and know when it's time to walk away. Paige's TakeawaysIf you've been in a negative relationship with someone for many years, you may brush off their treatment of you or make excuses for their behavior. Depending on how you grew up, you may accept this treatment as normal or suitable because you believe you aren't worthy of anything different. In these instances, it's important to find a trusted voice who can give you an objective opinion of this person.How do you determine the toxic person?Ask yourself (and your kids): how do you feel when you're around this person? Do you feel relaxed, happy, and at peace? Or are you on edge or tense, does your head or stomach hurt? Pay attention to your body to help identify the people in your life who may create a more negative environment.If you start feeling like the person is speaking criticism, invalidating you, rationalizing their behavior or comments despite you bringing it up and asking them to stop, that may be a good indicator that they are an unhealthy person.When we want to see a change in a toxic person, we can't just demand that they change their behavior! We instead can model gentleness and compassion in our request, it produces a greater chance of them listening to us as well as leading to positive behavior changes. Once you identify a toxic person:You still have power over how you interact with them. You can choose not to engage in a conversation by telling them a boundary, ie. ‘I don't want to talk about this issue' or you can walk away, if needed. Paige ClingenpeelQuestions About the Podcast?

Clearing the Path: Eliminating Toxic Relationships for a Better Life When your button pusher walks toward you, do you pretend not to see them? Okay, maybe it's just me! Before cancer, I had a handful of toxic people in my life. I didn't spend a lot of time with them, but when I did see them, I could feel my anxiety rising even before we got together! When today's podcast guest, Dr. Jantz, mentioned that he wanted to do a podcast about the impact of toxic people on our health, I was all in! Spending time with toxic people can affect your health in the following ways: It can increase your sympathetic response, leading to higher heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate. Your body may produce more stress hormones, which can cause inflammation. It can also damage your confidence and affect your sense of identity. How do you move the toxic people out of your life, especially if they are family members? Dr. Jantz suggested having a friend or spouse nearby when dealing with difficult family members at events. If you get upset, use a pre-agreed safe word to signal for support in removing yourself from the situation. With some pre-planning, you can avoid getting caught up in their negativity. Listen to today's podcast to hear the rest of Dr. J.'s tips on dealing with toxic people.

On this episode, Drs. Blair Bigham and Mojola Omole discuss the CMAJ paper "Cost-effectiveness of pharmacogenomic-guided treatment for major depression". The paper examines the potential of pharmacogenomic testing in the treatment of major depression and its implications for health care costs.The study suggests that implementing pharmacogenomic testing for adults with moderate to severe major depressive disorder in British Columbia could save the health system about $956 million over 20 years, equating to roughly $4,926 per patient.The hosts interview the study's authors, Dr. Jehannine Austin, Professor of Psychiatry and Medical Genetics at UBC, and Dr. Shahzad Ghanbarian, a mathematical modeler and research scientist, also at UBC.They explain how pharmacogenomic testing can reduce the often lengthy trial and error process of selecting medication for depression. The study demonstrates that this approach facilitates more effective early intervention, potentially reducing the number of patients with refractory depression by 37%. Join us as we explore medical solutions that address the urgent need to change healthcare.

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is highly comorbid with ADHD. Learn about symptoms of mood disorders, how they co-exist with ADHD, and about new and alternative treatments for depression from Nelson M. Handal, M.D., DFAPA.

In this episode, my guest is Nolan Williams, M.D., a triple board-certified psychiatrist, neurologist and professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford School of Medicine. He is also the Director of the Stanford Brain Stimulation Lab. We discuss clinical applications for brain stimulation, behavioral protocols and novel drug treatments to halt and reverse mental health disorders, including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We first discuss the neural circuits for self-identity and mood and stress control. We discuss Dr. Williams' work using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to depression, trauma, PTSD, and other mood disorders. We then dive deep into the history, biology, modern use, and safety margins of the various psychedelics, including MDMA, LSD, ketamine, ibogaine, ayahuasca, and psilocybin, as well as cannabis and the use of SSRIs in both adults and children. Finally, we discuss behavioral treatments for mental health disorders, including sleep and sleep deprivation, light exposure, exercise, and training to control the brain-heart-rate pathways. Regardless of age, all those interested in mental health should benefit from the incredible breadth and depth of Dr. Williams' knowledge and the clarity with which he conveys that information.
