Graham Platner has never run for elected office before. He's a war veteran, an oyster farmer, and now he's running in a Democratic primary to eventually unseat Senator Susan Collins of Maine. He's ahead in the polls, but he's also been criticized for Reddit comments from his past and recently covered up a tattoo that looks suspiciously like a Nazi symbol (a connection he denies knowing about). Last week, before the recent attacks on Iran, Anna sat down with Graham to discuss his unlikely outsider campaign. They also talk about his upbringing in rural Maine, his military experience (and current anti-war stance), and what politicians need to do to actually help working people today.

When a doctor hands your child a diagnosis, it can be a relief - finally, an explanation for their behavior! But sociologist Dr. Allan Horwitz has spent decades studying how psychiatric diagnoses are made, and what he's found raises serious questions about how much weight that label should carry. In this episode, Dr. Horwitz walks through how the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) - the manual that defines every mental health diagnosis - was built less on scientific research than on professional politics, institutional pressure, and the practical needs of insurance companies.  He traces how depression went from a diagnosis given to a small fraction of the population to one of the most common diagnoses in the world, and explains exactly what happened to reliability when the DSM-5 was tested in real clinical conditions.  He also looks at how the same behaviors get labeled very differently depending on a child's age, race, class, and cultural background - and why that matters for every parent trying to figure out whether a diagnosis is actually helping their child. This episode won't tell you to reject diagnosis outright. But it will give you the critical knowledge to ask better questions when a label is offered for your child. Questions This Episode Will Answer What is the DSM and why does it matter for my child?  The DSM is the manual psychiatrists and psychologists use to diagnose every mental health condition. It determines what insurance will cover, what services your child can access, and what label follows them through school and into treatment. Who created the DSM and who controls it?  The American Psychiatric Association publishes the DSM, but its diagnostic criteria were largely shaped by a small group of people - predominantly white men with ties to pharmaceutical companies - whose process looked more like sausage-making than science. Why is DSM-5 criticized by researchers?  Field trials for DSM-5 showed reliability had actually declined from earlier editions. For some of the most common diagnoses, including major depression and generalized anxiety, agreement between clinicians was barely better than chance. Is a psychiatric diagnosis actually reliable?  Reliability means two different clinicians would give the same patient the same diagnosis. Research on the DSM-5 shows this is far less consistent than most parents assume - and a reliable diagnosis still isn't necessarily a correct one. Are children being overdiagnosed with mental health conditions?  Research shows that the youngest children in a classroom are significantly more likely to receive a psychiatric diagnosis than their older classmates, especially for ADHD - suggesting that what's being measured is developmental maturity, not a mental disorder. Does the DSM apply equally to children from different cultural backgrounds?  The DSM was built on a Euro-centric framework, and critics argue it pathologizes behaviors that are normal or valued in many Global Majority cultures. This has real consequences for how children from different backgrounds get diagnosed and treated. Why do mental health diagnoses focus on the individual instead of their circumstances?  The DSM is deliberately designed to identify disorders within a person rather than look at the conditions around them. It makes sense that a person going through a relationship breakup might feel sad, angry, and/or uncertain about the future.  That doesn't mean they're ‘depressed.'  Dr. Horwitz explains what that choice costs - and who pays the most. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why diagnosis serves the psychiatric profession and the insurance system in ways that don't always help the person being diagnosedHow the shift from psychoanalysis to the DSM-3 in 1980 dramatically expanded who could be diagnosed with depression - and why that shift was driven by professional rivalry, not new scienceWhat reliability and validity actually mean in psychiatric diagnosis, and why the numbers from DSM-5 field trials alarmed even people inside the systemHow the people who built the DSM criteria handled disagreements - and why the process Dr. Horwitz describes is so different from what most parents imagineWhy a child's birthdate relative to their classmates can predict their likelihood of receiving a psychiatric diagnosisHow socioeconomic status shapes not just whether a child gets diagnosed, but when they take their medication and whyWhat the removal of the bereavement exclusion in DSM-5 tells us about the direction the system is headingWhy the same behaviors that get a child diagnosed with ADHD in the US might get that child's family into therapy in the UK insteadWhat Dr. Horwitz thinks would actually make a difference for children's mental health - and why the most effective interventions are rarely the ones being offered Your Triggers Aren't a Diagnosis. But They're Worth Understanding. This episode makes the case that the mental health system focuses on only what's happening inside a person instead of looking at the broader circumstances around them - mostly to sell us more drugs.  In reality, our struggles are a combination of the challenges we've experienced in the past (and how we've learned to handle them), and our situation today.  We have to see both pieces to make sense of where we've been, and learn new tools for what's happening now. When your child's behavior sends you into a reaction you regret later, a diagnosis or prescription may not help as much as understanding what's underneath that reaction and where it came from.  That's exactly what the Taming Your Triggers workshop is built to help you do. In 10 weeks, you'll learn why you react the way you do, how to meet your own needs so you have more capacity for your kids, and how to respond from your values instead of your history.

Dr. Allan Horwitz explains that diagnoses maintain psychiatry's legitimacy and prestige as a medical profession, regardless of the knowledge behind each diagnosis. 05:10 Patients now often expect specific diagnoses before treatment even begins. 14:27 People experiencing sadness from job loss or relationship endings can benefit from medication, but to get prescriptions, you need a diagnosis of a disorder, even when the response is completely expectable given the circumstances. 15:39 The DSM locates suffering within individuals rather than examining broader social circumstances. 19:00 Wrapping up. 21:25 An open invitation to join the Parenting Membership.

Send a textAre veterans gaming the system, or are we trapped in a shallow debate that ignores the law, the medicine, and the lived reality of service? We dig into the difference between media narratives and VA standards with guest Jane Babcock—Army and Army Reserve retiree, former accredited county veteran service officer, and a relentless advocate who's helped file over 1,200 claims.We start by clarifying what disability compensation really is: payment for lost earning capacity tied to service-connected conditions, not a ban on work. From there, we break down presumptive conditions like ALS, the overlooked wartime pension, and why “equipoise” requires raters to side with veterans when evidence is evenly balanced. Jane shares a powerful case where MOS duties and OSHA data linked a young non-smoker's aggressive cancer to specific chemical exposure, proving how targeted research can win tough claims.The conversation then tackles the now-rescinded proposal to rate disabilities in a medicated state. We explain why symptom control isn't cure, how such a rule would punish adherence and invite churn, and how courts have already affirmed ratings must reflect unmedicated baselines. On mental health, we draw the line between stabilization and recovery, outline practical steps to secure DSM-5 diagnoses with Vet Center counseling and VA psychiatry, and stress the power of detailed buddy statements for incidents that never made it into records.We also spotlight the structural mess: VHA, VBA, and cemetery services run on different rails; community and contracted care don't always flow back; and older records can disappear. The fix on the veteran side is ownership—gather civilian files, align diagnoses to rating codes, and work with an accredited VSO who can flag special monthly compensation, aid and attendance, and survivor benefits. Even with OTH discharges, VA adjudication can reopen doors when the facts support service connection.If this conversation helps you or someone you love, share it with a fellow vet, subscribe for more candid guides, and leave a review so others can find it.

Free DNA Activation Masterclass + 21-Day Abundance Meditation: https://masterclass.samuelbleemd.com/dnaPeptides I use personally to regenerate, heal, and stay sharp: https://limitlesslivingIn this episode, Dr. Samuel B. Lee, MD sits down for a raw and unfiltered solo conversation about the hidden realities of modern psychiatry, the illusion of “chemical imbalance,” and the forgotten truth of the superconscious soul. From working inside elite institutions like Cedars-Sinai and the University of Washington Medical Center to witnessing firsthand the numbing of children and elders in psychiatric facilities, his story is a testament to courage, awakening, and spiritual integrity.Dr. Lee shares how going through his own diagnoses—major depression, anxiety, paranoia, addiction, even a manic episode that led him to call off his wedding became the very initiation that opened his awareness beyond the DSM-5 and into the spiritual dimensions of healing. This episode dives deep into the limitations of symptom-based psychiatry, the concept of the superconscious mind, and why true healing requires reconnecting to the soul not suppressing it.Sacred Truths & Lessons from This Episode:• You Are Not Your Diagnosis• The “Chemical Imbalance” Theory Was Never Proven• Numbing Symptoms Is Not the Same as Healing the Soul• Society May Be Sick Not the Child• Your Superconscious Mind Holds the Key to Transformation• Healing Begins When You Reclaim Your Spiritual SovereigntyDr. Lee vulnerably explores what happens when elders are medicated into numbness at the end of life, when children are labeled instead of understood, and when psychiatrists are pressured to prescribe instead of connect. He reveals why he walked away from a lucrative partnership at one of Los Angeles' largest psychiatric hospital firms and chose instead to speak from his soul.This is not just a critique of a system. It's a call to remember what psychiatry originally meant: healing the psyche the soul.

Dr. Roger McFillin argues that Western allopathic medicine and psychiatry have medicalized normal human suffering by reducing emotions to biological or chemical reactions, turning symptom checklists into fixed identities, and sustaining a drug-driven "sick care" system that creates lifelong customers. He contrasts this with viewing emotions as powerful energy meant to be moved into creation and transformation, cites psychoneuroimmunology, and warns that suppressing fear and distress with pharmaceuticals can worsen long-term outcomes. The conversation covers exposure-based approaches to unlearn fear, the role of media, social media, and advertising in provoking fear and keeping people in an unconscious "drift" state, and the importance of intentional stillness, solitude (distinct from loneliness), prayer or silent meditation, and reducing phone use—especially at the start of the day—to become more conscious and intentional.    McFillin discusses how diagnostic labels like depression and anxiety shape identity, limit choices, and contribute to chronicity and polypharmacy. He contrasts PTSD with post-traumatic growth, emphasizing processing trauma memories, facing avoided situations, challenging overgeneralized threat beliefs, and practicing forgiveness and self-compassion while also taking ownership where appropriate. They also discuss the perceived harms of the "toxic masculinity" concept, men's wellbeing, the loss of wise elders, and how men often bond and cope through shared activities. Dr. Roger McFillin is a clinical psychologist and trauma recovery expert who challenges the medicalization of normal human emotions. With a focus on emotional resilience and personal growth, he specializes in exposure therapy and psychoneuroimmunology, exploring the connection between mind, emotions, and immune health. Dr. McFillin advocates for self-regulation and transforming emotional energy into healing, critiquing the overuse of pharmaceuticals in modern mental health treatment. Through his Substack, Radically Genuine, and podcast, Dr. McFillin educates individuals on overcoming fear, achieving stillness, and reconnecting with their true selves. His work empowers people to shift from a victim mindset to one of active growth, using trauma as a catalyst for resilience and positive change.   Science & Medicine   Psychoneuroimmunology   Overview & science (NIH): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3130991/   Exposure Therapy   Wikipedia overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_therapy   Cleveland Clinic explanation: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/25067-exposure-therapy   Anxiety & OCD exposure-based approaches (IOCDF): https://iocdf.org/about-ocd/treatment/erp/   Heart Coherence   HeartMath Institute overview: https://www.heartmath.org/heart-coherence/   Psychiatric Diagnosis & DSM   Critique of DSM and diagnostic categories: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4195174/   Psychiatric diagnosis controversies: https://www.apa.org/monitor/2013/04/diagnosis   Psychology & Healing   Post-Traumatic Growth vs. PTSD   Scientific overview of post-traumatic growth: https://www.apa.org/monitor/2014/01/psychological-recovery   Journal article on PTG vs PTSD: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0272735814000412   Forgiveness and Healing   Psychology Today on forgiveness: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/forgiveness   Research evidence on forgiveness and wellbeing: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1745691614568356   Self‑Healing Practices   Grounding / Earthing   What is grounding/earthing? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4378297/   PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) Therapy   Basics of PEMF therapy: https://www.health.harvard.edu/pain/pulsed-electromagnetic-field-therapy   Meditation & Stillness   Mindfulness & stillness research: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6422583/   Psychology Today on solitude and healing: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hide-and-seek/201209/finding-solitude-its-benefits-and-challenges   Cultural & Media Influence   Mind Control & Fear Provocation   The psychology of fear in media messaging: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.566245/full   Media influence and persuasion research: https://www.communicationtheory.org/agenda-setting-theory/   Toxic Masculinity   Research overview on toxic masculinity: https://www.apa.org/advocacy/health-men/guidelines   What toxic masculinity means: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-masculine-mind/201802/what-toxic-masculinity   Dr. Roger McFillin Content   Substack (Radically Genuine): https://drmcmillan.substack.com   Show Notes 00:00 Emotions as Energy 00:33 Medicalizing Suffering 02:44 Exposure Beats Suppression 05:18 Fear and Mind Control 10:21 Stillness vs Loneliness 14:47 Simple Stillness Practices 20:12 Morning Intention Rituals 25:56 Labels and Identity Traps 31:26 Systemic Treatment Harm 32:53 Depression Label Identity 35:08 Sadness Versus Pathology 36:10 PTSD And Growth 38:24 Processing Trauma Fully 41:44 Practical Recovery Steps 45:48 Forgiveness And Ownership 50:37 Toxic Masculinity Debate 56:12 Men Friendship And Elders 01:01:05 Closing Plugs Farewell 38:24 How PTSD Develops 41:44 Practical Trauma Recovery 45:48 Forgiveness and Ownership 50:37 Toxic Masculinity Debate 56:12 Male Friendship and Elders 01:01:05 Closing and Where to Follow   The Hart2Heart podcast is hosted by family physician Dr. Michael Hart, who is dedicated to cutting through the noise and uncovering the most effective strategies for optimizing health, longevity, and peak performance.

In this episode of The Behavioral View, Nissa Van Etten, Olivia Teal, Elizabeth Barajas, and Yagnesh Vadgama discuss the evolution of outcomes-based care within applied behavior analysis (ABA). Drawing from extensive experience in both clinical practice and payer systems, Vadgama outlines the differences between traditional fee-for-service models and outcomes-based care frameworks. The panel explores how standardized assessments, aggregate data analysis, and empirically supported dosing recommendations can create greater alignment between providers and payers while maintaining individualized clinical decision-making. The discussion addresses administrative burden, prior authorization processes, value-based payment arrangements, caregiver involvement, social determinants of health, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Emphasis is placed on transparency, data-driven decision making, and protecting the integrity of behavior analytic practice while demonstrating measurable outcomes at both the individual and population levels. This course provides practical insight into how outcomes-based care models may shape the future of ABA service delivery.

I'm recording this while driving to work because I'm a busy mom. Today I want to talk about diagnosis—what it means, why we do it, and what my particular take on it is. As a clinical psychologist, I was trained in the medical model alongside psychiatrists. We learned the DSM, the diagnostic manual that classifies psychiatric conditions into discrete categories like depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar. It's useful because it creates a common language for clinicians and allows us to study treatments and measure whether symptoms are reducing. But the DSM has pitfalls. It's inherently biased—mostly based on Western, predominantly American research and samples. In South Africa, for example, hearing voices might indicate psychosis according to the DSM, but for some cultural groups it's a sign someone is a sangoma, a traditional healer. We have to use the framework for what's useful and leave the rest. So why diagnose at all? For many people, especially women who've been told they're too sensitive or too emotional their whole lives, hearing "you're depressed" or "you have anxiety" is deeply validating. It's not you being difficult—it's a real condition that deserves treatment. I stay away from binaries like "is this real depression or just normal life stress?" If someone is struggling and their quality of life is reduced, they deserve help whether it's a temporary hormonal thing, lack of support, or a diagnosable disorder. The question is: does the diagnosis resonate with someone's lived experience? Adult ADHD diagnosis in women is a perfect example. Women weren't diagnosed as kids because they internalized symptoms, while boys bounced off walls physically. Now women are getting diagnosed in their 30s and 40s and feeling massive relief—finally someone understands what's happening inside their minds. That's when diagnosis is most useful: when it leads to self-compassion, not pathologizing, when it helps us scaffold support systems and treatment plans, not just slap on a label.

Ik hoor vele verschillende theorieën over AD(H)D om mij heen. "ADHD, dat zit in je genen." "ADHD is erfelijk." "ADHD is afkomstig van trauma." Alsof het een soort biologische blauwdruk is waar je weinig invloed op hebt. Maar wat als dat beeld te simpel is? Wat als ADHD eerder een beschrijving is van gedrag in een bepaalde context, dan een meetbare aandoening? In deze aflevering spreek ik met Sanne te Meerman. Hij is, samen met onder andere Laura Batstra, de drijvende kracht achter het project Druk en Dwars. We praten over hoe de maatschappij ADHD steeds vaker presenteert als iets vaststaands, bijna alsof het een object is in je hoofd. En over wat het met je kan doen als je jezelf gaat zien als je diagnose. We hebben het over: • Waarom ADHD in de DSM eigenlijk alleen gedrag classificeert, maar niks verklaart. • Hoe de rol van genen, omgeving, stress, schoolstructuren en zelfs je geboortemaand samen kunnen bepalen of je als ADHD'er wordt gezien. • Waarom we zo graag geloven in het biologische narratief. We staan stil bij het effect van labels. Wanneer helpen ze? En wanneer gaan ze je bepalen? En we vragen ons af: Wat gebeurt er als je als kind leert denken: “Dit is nu eenmaal hoe ik ben, ik heb ADHD.” Welke ruimte blijft er dan nog over om te groeien? Dit is geen aflevering tegen diagnoses. Het is een uitnodiging om anders te kijken. ADHD is niet iets vaststaands, er is geen eenduidige oorzaak, maar een multifactorieel probleem, waarbij de mix van oorzakelijke factoren voor iedereen heel anders kan zijn. Voor wie zich herkent in ADHD-symptomen, voor ouders, leerkrachten, hulpverleners, of simpelweg voor wie nieuwsgierig is naar wat er gebeurt als we gedrag gaan labelen als stoornis. Heb je twijfels over het ADHD verhaal? Of ben je gewoon nieuwsgierig naar een andere insteek? Dan is deze aflevering zeker iets voor jou. Heel veel luisterplezier!

"We built institutions that were supposed to reflect reality. But the windows became mirrors." In the second century, the Gnostics believed our world was a false reality created by a confused lesser god known as the Demiurge. Today, we are trapped in a modern equivalent: a labyrinth of metrics, models, and algorithms that dictate our lives while entirely missing our humanity. In Part 7 of The Mirror World, we dissect the collapse of institutional sense-making and the profound psychological toll of living inside the "fake world." Drawing on the histories of standardized testing, the DSM, and economic modeling, we explore how disciplines retreated behind "mechanical objectivity" to defend against insecurity—and how the profit motive locked us inside these models. Ultimately, we confront the modern pinnacle of this trap: Large Language Models (LLMs). We examine why AI is not the solution, but rather the ultimate simulacrum—the ghost of the human archive that performs the gesture of understanding while severing us from the real. To escape the mirror, we turn to the late psychologist James Hillman. Reclaiming our soul's calling—our daimon—requires more than just new metrics or better prompts. It requires us to do the one thing the algorithm cannot: grieve.

In this powerful episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the three levels of autism and challenges common misconceptions about autism being "just different" or purely genetic. He shares the inspiring story of Luke, a child who overcame severe autism regression through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, and explains his "Perfect Storm" theory that identifies the real root causes of autism spectrum disorders.Dr. Ebel explains why traditional medical approaches often fall short and introduces his groundbreaking approach, which addresses nervous system dysfunction at its core. For families dealing with level 2 and level 3 autism, this episode offers hope and a clear path forward through understanding subluxation, dysautonomia, and the critical role of the nervous system in autism recovery.-----Links & ResourcesSign up for the FREE LIVE March 5th Kick the Sick Webinar: www.thepxdocs.com/kick-the-sickMore hope, answers, and help for autism in our free articles: https://pxdocs.com/autism/-----Key Topics & Timestamps01:00 Autism statistics and the neurodiversity misconception 03:00  Luke's story: A family's journey through autism regression 08:00 Breaking down the three levels of autism (DSM criteria) 11:00 Debunking the "purely genetic" myth of autism 13:00 Introduction to the Perfect Storm theory 15:00 Early warning signs and how they progress to autism 18:00 The importance of Insight scanning technology 20:00 How the nervous system holds the key to recovery-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In this episode, we are honored to welcome Dr. John Z. Sadler, one of the most influential figures at the intersection of psychiatry, ethics, and philosophy. For more than four decades, Dr. Sadler has shaped the intellectual and moral foundations of psychiatric diagnosis, values-based practice, and clinical ethics consultation.Dr. Sadler is the Daniel W. Foster, MD Professor of Medical Ethics and Professor of Psychiatry and Clinical Sciences at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where he directs the Program in Ethics in Science & Medicine and leads the Division of Ethics in the Department of Psychiatry. He has served on the Parkland Hospital Ethics Committee since 1985 and was its co-chair and clinical ethics consultant for three decades—bringing philosophical inquiry directly into the realities of patient care.A co-founder of the Association for the Advancement of Philosophy and Psychiatry and longtime co-editor of Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology, Dr. Sadler has helped define an entire field of scholarship. He is the author of Values and Psychiatric Diagnosis and the recently published Vice and Psychiatric Diagnosis, co-author of The Virtuous Psychiatrist, and editor of multiple definitive reference works including the Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Psychiatry, the Oxford Handbook of Psychiatric Ethics, and the Oxford Handbook of Psychotherapy Ethics.In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore why philosophy matters in everyday psychiatric practice, from how values shape diagnostic systems like the DSM and ICD, to the ethical tensions that arise in clinical care. Dr. Sadler reflects on the virtues essential to modern psychiatrists, how trainees can cultivate conceptual competence, and where the philosophy of psychiatry is headed globally. The result is both an intellectual masterclass and a thoughtful meditation on what psychiatry is, and what it ought to be.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/cruen/city-streetsLicense code: 2JJVCBQKEE2GJH5N

Send a textIn this episode of Behind the Stigma, I sit down with Jerome Wakefield, NYU Professor and originator of the influential “harmful dysfunction” theory of mental disorder. We explore what makes something truly pathological, the fuzzy boundary between normal suffering and disorder, and the philosophical foundations shaping modern psychiatry.We also discuss the DSM and it's removal of the bereavement exclusion in depression, evolutionary perspectives on neurodiversity movements and his work on harmful dysfunction. This conversation asked a central question: when does human distress become a mental disorder, and does that distinction matter?About Jerome WakefiedDr. Wakefield is an NYU University Professor and Professor at NYU Silver, known internationally for his groundbreaking work at the intersection of philosophy, psychiatry, and psychology. He has authored over 300 publications on the conceptual foundations of mental health theory.He is best known for developing the influential “harmful dysfunction” analysis of mental disorder, the most cited framework for distinguishing true disorder from normal distress. His work has shaped debates on DSM diagnoses, grief, depression, anxiety, and the boundary between pathology and everyday suffering. He is also the coauthor of the award-winning books The Loss of Sadness (2007) and All We Have to Fear (2012), and has contributed major analyses in psychoanalysis, social work theory, and evolutionary perspectives on mental health. Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=NkiWM10AAAAJ&hl=enPaper on Harmful Dysfunction analysis: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2174594/Paper on the Theory of generativity: https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1998-07139-005Books: https://www.amazon.com/Loss-Sadness-Psychiatry-Transformed-Depressive-ebook/dp/B001CHRHHOhttps://www.amazon.com/All-Have-Fear-Psychiatrys-Transformation/dp/0199793751Subscribe to the Behind the Stigma podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcast or Spotify.

In this episode, Ben sits down with Dr Shyamal Mashru, Consultant Psychiatrist and Medical Lead for Adult ADHD, for a clear and compassionate deep dive into Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).Often misunderstood or dismissed as being “too sensitive,” RSD is explored here as a real, neurological experience - one that can hijack rational thought, flood the body with emotional pain, and quietly shape relationships, work, and self-worth. Dr Shyamal explains what RSD is (and isn't), how it shows up differently across people, and why ADHD brains may be especially vulnerable.They unpack the science, the role of trauma and hormones, why RSD isn't currently in the DSM, and what actually helps when rejection hits hard.If rejection feels overwhelming, confusing, or deeply personal - this conversation offers clarity, relief, and language for what you may have been carrying alone.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction01:00 Dr Shyamal Mashru's ADHD Background & Clinical Work03:15 What Surprises Clinicians About ADHD Assessments04:41 Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria Explained: What RSD Is & Why It Hurts09:16 RSD Coping Mechanisms: Shutdown, People-Pleasing & Avoidance11:44 Is It RSD or Something Else?

Intermittent fasting is the most Googled diet-related term on the planet, except everyone who does it will tell you it's not a diet. It's a protocol. An eating window. A lifestyle. An optimization hack. Definitely, absolutely, under no circumstances a diet. You just don't eat for sixteen hours. Totally different.In this episode, we trace IF from ancient religious fasting traditions through its secularization and commodification, afrom Martin Berkhan's Leangains forum and its tagline ("fuck breakfast") to Michael Mosley's BBC documentary, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine physique, and Jack Dorsey describing his weekend-long fasts as "hallucinating" like that's a selling point. We walk through how a Nobel Prize in yeast biology became a justification for skipping breakfast, why Jason Fung's The Obesity Code scored 31% on scientific accuracy and still became the IF bible, and how the fasting app market turned one simple rule into a multimillion-dollar industry.Then we get into what the science actually says. We break down the claimed mechanisms — metabolic switching, autophagy, insulin sensitivity — and look honestly at where the evidence lands. Spoiler: the mechanisms are real, but the confidence far outpaces the human data. The first direct measurement of autophagy in humans was published in 2025. Mouse metabolism runs seven times faster than ours. And the landmark Liu et al. trial in the New England Journal of Medicine found that time-restricted eating is no better than regular caloric restriction for weight loss. You're not metabolic switching. You're just eating less.We also dig into what IF means for active people (no performance benefit across any exercise type, real risk of under-fueling and RED-S, and a protein distribution problem that no eight-hour window can solve), what the AHA, ADA, NIA, and ISSN actually say about it, and the robust research linking IF to eating disorder behaviors across all genders — including a landmark study showing that fasting was a stronger predictor of binge eating disorder than any other form of dietary restraint. Fasting is listed in the DSM-5 as a compensatory behavior. Just because you give it a different vocabulary doesn't mean your body experiences it differently.Your body is smarter than any fasting app. Also, breakfast slaps..This Episode's Sponsors:rabbit — Code YDSFEB for 10% offOsmia — Code YDS20 for 20% offTailwind — Code YOURDIET20 for 20% offMicrocosm Coaching — Book a free consultationFull references, episode archive, and our advertising ethics policy at yourdietsuckspodcast.comHosted by: Zoë Rom & Kylee Van Horn, RDN

By David Stephen who looks at biomarkers in this article. Will there ever be a biological test for human intelligence, to explore how to improve it in the age of AI? Like, would it ever be possible to test a human being for intelligence by some biological factor, and how to make it competitive against AI? The same question applies to mental disorders. Would there ever be biological tests, to know what therapies would work? These, at least for mental disorders, is what the American Psychiatric Association is seeking. Biomarkers for Psychiatry, Human Intelligence There is a recent [January 28, 2026] press release, APA Releases Roadmap for the Future of the DSM, stating that, "The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has released a series of papers offering a proposed roadmap for the future of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The five papers, including the Initial Strategy for the Future of the DSM and four accompanying commentaries, are the result of the committee's year of structured debate and consideration of long-standing critiques and rapid scientific advances. They propose a forward-looking model for the evolution of the DSM. They also suggest changing the name from Diagnostic and Statistical Manual to Diagnostic and Scientific Manual to better reflect its scientific and global scope. The four accompanying papers address structure and dimensions of the DSM; the role of biomarkers and biological factors in diagnosis; vision for incorporating socioeconomic, cultural and environmental determinants of health and intersectionality; and the role of functioning and quality of life in psychiatric diagnosis." Conceptual Biomarkers and Theoretical Biological Factors for Psychiatric and Intelligence Nosology What are the options for biomarkers in the brain for mental disorders? Would they be different or similar to those for human intelligence? What are the universal components in the brain, for functions of human life and experiences? Can a model be developed on these components and their mechanisms, first to explain labels and next to scope out biomarkers? The problem before psychiatry is not just the distance to developing tests but to even describe what is happening in the brain for the labels of conditions. Mood disorders have several descriptions. But what are their components in the brain and the course of their actions. Answering these questions can put conditions in perspective as parallels are sought, before adventuring into biomarkers development. The same applies to human intelligence. Now, artificial intelligence is in an intense acceleration. There are valuable labor tasks that will be lost due to AI. And, because intelligence is the last frontier of superiority for humanity among organisms, it will be important to seek to map it, and explore it for problem-solving. This is the postulation in Conceptual Biomarkers and Theoretical Biological Factors for Psychiatric and Intelligence Nosology. The options are electrical and chemical signals as the components of functions in the brain. It states that neurons are conduits or bridges that signals use to carry out functions. It also states that signals are in sets in cluster of neurons. It is possible to use signals, conceptually, to explain and display all disorders in the DSM. It is also possible to use them to develop, explain, and display the two main types of human intelligence [improvement and operational], to ensure that options are broadened towards survival in the age of AI. This seminal work on conceptual brain science could be completed by August, 2026, moving psychiatry and intelligence forward, as well as neurology. David Stephen currently does research in conceptual brain science with focus on the electrical and chemical configurators for how they mechanize the human mind with implications for mental health, disorders, neurotechnology, consciousness, learning, artificial intelligence and nurture. He was a visiting scholar in m...

Here at DSM, we've been enjoying Heated Rivalry, the HBO series about two pro hockey players who begin a secret love affair. The show is steamy, but it also highlights some persistent problems in male sports culture, namely, that same-sex relationships are still extremely taboo. But one TikTok account is trying to change that culture for the better. Sex Ed for Guys was started by athletes at Colby College in Maine, and their videos promote emotional vulnerability and openness, strong male friendships, safe sex, and lots more. This week, Anna talks to three of those athletes (Chris Maichin, Jack Gatjanis, and Mitch Humphrey) and to Adam Howard, their faculty mentor.

Does a mental health diagnosis explain why you are suffering, or does it just give your suffering a name?In this episode, I challenge the traditional way we look at mental health labels. While a diagnosis (like depression, anxiety, or ADHD) can be a helpful shorthand for professionals, it often becomes a trap for the person receiving it—convincing them they are "broken" rather than adapting to their life context.To illustrate this, I share the story of two hypothetical clients: Penny and Milton. Both come to therapy with the exact same heavy symptoms.Penny receives a diagnosis, is told she has a disorder to manage forever, and leaves feeling defective.Milton is met with a nervous system perspective, learns his feelings make sense based on his history, and is given the tools to actually heal.Join me as we explore why your diagnosis is a description, not a life sentence. We'll discuss how to shift from "fighting a disorder" to building safety in your nervous system, so you can stop merely managing symptoms and start getting unstuck.In this episode, you will learn:Why a diagnosis in the DSM describes what is happening but rarely explains why.The critical difference between the "Disorder Model" vs. the "Nervous System Model."How to stop rejecting your feelings and start building safety (the "Milton" approach).Why your symptoms are likely a normal response to an abnormal situation.

Steeds meer mensen in Nederland gaan langs voor een spuitje in de lip of wat botox onder de ogen. Maar waar komt deze toenemende populariteit vandaan, en waarom zijn vooral jongeren steeds enthousiaster over cosmetische ingrepen?

In this episode, I'm challenging a common habit in school counseling: labeling student distress as “anxiety” before it actually meets clinical criteria.You'll hear the research behind "prevalence inflation," how DSM standards separate normal worry from clinical anxiety, and the four-question test that will change how you approach 504 plans, school refusal, and all your anxiety-related counseling referrals.Because when we mislabel discomfort, exclusion, or instability as anxiety, we don't just miss the root issue. We build an entire intervention around the wrong problem.Run the four-question test before you write the accommodation.********Join our new Skool for School Counselors community ********Want support with real-world strategies that actually work on your campus?

Webinar link: https://www.mikkiwilliden.com/unlocking-fatloss-success On this episode of Mikkipedia, Mikki tackles binge eating behaviours and why the traditional “just eat less” approach often fails. She clarifies the difference between occasional overeating and true binge episodes, including the defining feature of loss of control, and outlines the DSM-5 criteria for binge eating disorder (for education, not self-diagnosis). Mikki then unpacks the physiology and psychology driving the restriction–binge cycle: dopamine and reward circuitry, cortisol and stress, shifts in ghrelin and leptin during calorie deficits, and the classic “what-the-hell effect” described in restraint theory. Most importantly, she offers practical strategies — predictable meals, adequate protein and energy, flexibility over rigidity, understanding whether you're a moderator or abstainer, and building alternative coping tools — so you can decide whether fat loss is appropriate now or if foundational work comes first.HighlightsBinge eating vs overeating: the critical differenceDSM-5 criteria explained clearly and practicallyWhy calorie restriction increases biological pressure to overeatRestraint theory and the “what-the-hell” effectPractical steps to break the restriction–binge cycle Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

A board-certified psychiatrist trained at one of the most prestigious psychiatric institutions in the world was fired for refusing to put a young woman on medication after the last prescription nearly killed her. Dr. Aruna Nammi left the system and built something radically different, combining functional medicine with 5,000-year-old Ayurvedic wisdom to reverse conditions psychiatry calls chronic and incurable. We go deep on why depression is a disconnection syndrome, the three root causes of all disease, what ancient traditions understood about psychosis that modern psychiatry ignores, and the shift in consciousness that may be unfolding on this planet right now.Trinergy Health Website Visit Center for Integrated Behavioral HealthDr. 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

Zo erg als de vorige keer was het nog net niet, maar het was toch weer een horrordag voor Adyen en hun beleggers. Het aandeel verloor een vijfde van z'n waarde. En dat allemaal dankzij een paar tegenvallers. De omzet was totaal niet naar verwachting. Waar de CFO in november nog uitging van 20 tot 25 procent, kwam die uit op 17. Wanneer gaat Adyen écht leren hoe goed verwachtingsmanagement werkt? Of zijn het de beleggers die veel te veel fantaseren? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Verder hebben we het over het duo dat afscheid van elkaar nam, maar toch tegelijk met de cijfers komt. Unilever en Magnum. Die eerste sluit het jaar prima af, maar wel met de sidenote dat het verkopen van onderdelen vrij duur blijkt. En ook Magnum voelt daar de kosten van. Dat draait op de voor de kosten van de afsplitsing en dat is toch wel even slikken voor beleggers. Je hoort ook nog over Box 3. Schoorvoetend stemt de Tweede Kamer in met een vernieuwing van de belasting op jouw aandelen en obligaties. We vertellen je wat de veranderingen voor jou betekenen. En dan kom je ook nog te weten wie Apple achterna komt omdat het bedrijf 'te links' zou zijn. Wie zou dat toch zijn????

This episode describes what complex Post Traumatic Stress disorder (cPTSD) is, how it's diagnosed, and how it's different to similar disorders like PTSD and borderline personality disorder. This episode was inspired by the angry comments on Dr. Kibby's latest reel on spotting emotion dysregulation in borderline personality disorder. When someone has a history of childhood trauma and they struggle with intense emotions, self-esteem issues, and relationship problems- what disorder do they have? In this episode, Dr. Kibby delves into the criteria for complex PTSD, which is still not an official disorder in the DSM-V. Yet, so many people struggle with symptoms from long, painful histories of trauma that has shaped their entire lives and personalities.Dr. Kibby also discusses the nuanced differences between Complex PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder, revealing how trauma shapes self-esteem, relationships, and emotional regulation in surprising ways. If you've ever wondered why these disorders often overlap—and how understanding their distinctions can transform healing—you'll want to hear this.Dr. Kibby shares her own experiences with online criticism around trauma representation, sparking a deeper conversation about stigma and bias in mental health. She dives into the hidden intricacies of CPTSD, explaining why it's often overlooked in the DSM-5 but recognized worldwide, and how prolonged trauma affects the brain's ability to process memories, dissociate, and regulate emotions.She also talks about how how trauma, whether overt or subtle, can lead to complex self-protection mechanisms that impact every aspect of life. Then she finishes with listing the best evidence-based treatments, from prolonged exposure to cognitive processing therapy and DBT, tailored for each disorder's unique challenges. She emphasizes the power of compassion and personalized treatment over stigma, advocating for a mental health field that treats all disorders with empathy and respect. Why diagnosis isn't about labels- it's a pathway to personalized healing and recovery.Resources:Sarr, R., Quinton, A., Spain, D., & Rumball, F. (2024).

Paranoia is one of the most misunderstood symptoms in bipolar disorder — and using the wrong word can delay the right treatment. Using real-life examples, this episode explains how psychosis in bipolar disorder is typically tied to mood episodes, how paranoid delusions form, and why people experiencing them often don't report symptoms. In this episode, Gabe Howard (who lives with bipolar disorder) and Dr. Nicole Washington (a board certified psychiatrist) break down what paranoia actually is, when it's actually anxiety or hypervigilance, and when it crosses into psychosis and delusional thinking. They explain why “being paranoid” isn't a diagnosis and how paranoid delusions fit under the psychosis umbrella. We answer common questions like: Is paranoia a stand-alone diagnosis in the DSM-5? When does healthy suspicion, anxiety, or hypervigilance get mislabeled as paranoia? Why does psychosis in bipolar disorder usually occur during manic or depressive episodes? What types of medications are commonly used to treat paranoia-related symptoms? How can loved ones spot symptoms the person may not recognize? If you've ever wondered whether paranoia is a typical worry, a trauma response, or something more serious, this episode brings clarity to a topic that's often confusing — and rarely explained well. 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. Among his many awards, he is the recipient of Mental Health America's Norman Guitry Award, received two Webby Honoree acknowledgements, and received an official resolution from the Governor of Ohio naming him an “Everyday Hero.” Gabe wrote the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are available directly from the author with free swag included!

Our host, Dr. Nicole Washington, is a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she attended Southern University and A&M College. After receiving her BS degree, she moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to enroll in the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed a residency in psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma in Tulsa. Since completing her residency training, Dr. Nicole has spent most of her career caring for and being an advocate for those who are not typically consumers of mental health services, namely underserved communities, those with severe mental health conditions, and high performing professionals. Through her private practice, podcast, speaking, and writing, she seeks to provide education to decrease the stigma associated with psychiatric conditions. Find out more at DrNicolePsych.com.

In this solo series episode, Lisa invites listeners to rethink change beyond “fixing what's wrong,” and into a more humane, nervous-system–smart way of becoming. She critiques pathology-first mental health models, centers a trauma-informed, strengths-based lens, and names the difference between compassionate, intentional change and fear-driven extremes. Moving through the six stages of change, Lisa reminds us that real progress is often quiet and internal and shows, through relatable examples, how small, steady steps can create lasting, sustainable change. Topics Include:Person-Centered DiagnosisJudgementStages of ChangeProcessing Emotions[2:17] Lisa begins this episode by revisiting a topic from a previous conversation. She clarified that her position is not to dismiss the reality of mental illness or to discard the DSM entirely. By labeling conditions as "disorders," the system inherently frames them as something wrong or broken within a person. Lisa argues for a shift in perspective, suggesting that these behaviors could instead be viewed as adaptive, wise, or even brilliant coping mechanisms developed in response to difficult circumstances.[11:26] Lisa explores the social-psychological concept of judgment. In our social context, we often believe we want to be judged positively and avoid negative judgment. Using body size as an example, she notes that someone who has experienced shame for being in a larger body might believe that changing their body to receive positive judgment will bring them happiness. The core human longing, she argued, is not to be judged, but to be seen. The goal is to understand that intentional change can be beneficial, if paired with the internal work of self-love and acceptance. [21:19] Lisa focuses on the "Stages of Change" model, a therapeutic framework for understanding how people change behavior. Lisa emphasizes that this model reveals change as a process, not a single event, and explains why simply deciding to change often fails. She outlines the six stages of change:Pre-contemplation: The person is not considering changing their behavior.Contemplation: The individual becomes aware of the issue but has not committed to action.Preparation: The person starts to plan, gather information, and make small, experimental changes.Action: The individual actively implements their plan and modifies their behavior.Maintenance: The focus shifts to sustaining the new behavior long-term and developing coping strategies for temptations.Recurrence/Relapse: Presented not as a failure but as an integral part of the process but an opportunity to learn about triggers, practice self-compassion, and restart the process with new knowledge.[29:53] Lisa points out that three stages occur before any concrete action is taken. She talks about how people often fail to make lasting changes because they try to jump directly from thinking about a problem to the "action" stage which is unrealistic and sets them up for failure.[59:54] Lisa discusses how the real work of change begins internally and invisibly. Lisa reiterates that traditional diets fail because they force individuals to jump from "pre-contemplation" directly to "action," ignoring the nervous system and emotional safety. Lisa revisits the concept of baby steps as the key to any sustainable change.  [1:07:17] Lisa emphasized that our actions are often attempts to solve emotional problems with physical solutions. The answer to "not feeling enough" is not to do more, but to sit with the feeling itself. *The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

Vitamin D was long considered a compliance nutrient rather than a performance lever. In this episode, we break down what's changed in the last couple of years, from BioMar doubling vitamin D₃ across salmon diets to new research suggesting salmon may synthesize vitamin D from sunlight, then zoom out to explain how vitamin D actually works in the body, why modern feeds increased the need for supplementation, and how the EU's 2019 regulation opened the door to much higher inclusion rates. We also dig into what these findings could mean for different farming environments, and close with a conversation with Dr. Sebastien Rider (DSM-Firmenich) on the latest studies, open questions, and why 25-hydroxyvitamin D products like Hy-D are gaining attention. Sign up for DSM's webinar on Vitamin D here.For more aquaculture insights head to our Fish n' Bits blog.

Au fil des années, le voile se lève sur l'intimité des femmes, on parle plus aisément du cycle menstruel et de ses inconforts, on découvre, parfois à un âge avancé, comment fonctionnent notre corps de femme, nos hormones et on fait parfois la connaissance de mots jusqu'alors inconnus qui définissent tout d'un coup très bien les troubles que l'on subit en silence depuis des années.Il y en a un en particulier qui a permis à beaucoup de femmes de comprendre ce qu'elles vivaient à chaque cycle : le fameux syndrome prémenstruel. Il regrouperait à lui seul pas moins de 200 symptômes allant de troubles de l'humeur à des perturbations digestives en passant par de la rétention d'eau ou encore des pulsions alimentaires. Ce qu'on sait moins en revanche, c'est qu'il existe une version amplifiée de ce syndrome prémenstruel : le trouble dysphorique prémenstruel aussi appelé TDPM. Il a été reconnu officiellement comme un trouble psychiatrique en 2013 par le DSM-5 qui classifie les troubles mentaux. C'est un diagnostic récent et un trouble encore peu connu qu'il me tenait à cœur de mettre en lumière aujourd'hui avec l'aide de Gabrielle Nelson, sage-femme passionnante et passionnée !Allez, à vos casques !—Gabrielle Nelson consulte en acupuncture et homéopathie à Saint-André-de-Cubzac et vous pouvez découvrir son livre Raconte-moi tes règles aux éditions de la FFSH.Les thématiques de la grossesse et de la parentalité vous intéressent aussi ?

Soms zou je het bijna vergeten: bedrijven zijn beursgenoteerd omdat ze geld op hebben gehaald. De aandelen mogen beleggers onderling verhandelen. Soms levert dat niks op. Ja, wel voor het bedrijf, maar niet voor beleggers. Alleen Advent, de private-equity-boer die InPost nu weer van de beurs helpt halen, drukte er geld mee. Wat ze ermee moeten, bespreken we deze aflevering. We hebben het ook over DSM-Firmenich, dat nu ein-de-lijk de tak voor diervoeding en vitaminen de deur uit heeft gekregen. Beleggers gooien DSM meteen maar weer van de trap af, want na maanden onderhandelen valt de prijs flink tegen. Het bedrijf moet 1,9 miljard euro afschrijven in een deal waar (opnieuw...) enkel private equity blij van wordt. Maar misschien kan de waardering van DSM binnenkort wel wat hoger, als de cijfers minder schommelen vanwege de volatiele vitaminenprijs.

Most podcasts tell you what happened; this week, we're looking at why the wires got crossed in the first place. We're dissecting the intersection of mental illness and the legal system, from the psychology of "diminished capacity" to the societal failures that turn patients into perpetrators. It's not an excuse—it's an explanation. Grab your coffee and your DSM-5; we're going deep into the headspace of the headlines.Research links below!Star Tribune - "Alvin Taylor"Deluth News Tribune - "Man who killed Esko native in Wisonsin in 1986 again denied release"The Dunn County News - "Taylor: placed in Mendota"The Sheboygan Press - "Suspect A 'Soldier Of God'"Leader-Telegram - "Alvin Taylor faces third murder charge"Leader-Telegram - "Portage man charged with two murders"ICJIA - "Mental Illness and Violence: Is there a Link?"Wisconsin Radio Network - "Serial killer Alvin Taylor again seeking release"National Library of Medicine - "Health care serial murder"BBC News - "Canadian nurse charged with eight murders"Getty Images - "Elizabeth Wettlaufer"The Washington Post - "Canadian public inquiry: If serial killer nurse hadn't confessed, she wouldn't have been caught"dreading (crime and psychology) - "The Red Surge: The Case of Elizabeth Wettlaufer" (YouTube)

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTW8CSPVEGcIn this whiteboard episode, we revisit the basal ganglia's intricate circuitry, detailing its five subcortical nuclei—dorsal striatum (caudate/putamen inputs), globus pallidus externa/subthalamic relays, and globus pallidus interna/substantia nigra reticulata outputs—driving the classic direct (facilitatory "go") and indirect (suppressive "no-go") pathways for action selection and inhibition. Excitatory cortical inputs converge on medium spiny neurons, finely tuned by dopamine (D1 excitatory/D2 inhibitory via substantia nigra pars compacta), serotonin, and acetylcholine, to orchestrate habits, motivation, and movement suppression through thalamic modulation. In autism, morphological alterations in medium spiny neurons—enlarged dendritic spines and reduced synaptic flexibility—bias toward repetitive behaviors, ritualized patterns, and intensely fixated interests (DSM-5 B2/B3 criteria), underscoring the circuit's preference for sameness via strengthened plasticity and limited prefrontal override.Daylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off at https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autismFig Tree Christian Golf Apparel & Accessories, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://figtreegolf.com/?ref=autismCognity AI for Autistic Social Skills, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://thecognity.com00:00 Basal Ganglia Intro Review prior episodes on basal ganglia (48-50 + 47); key for movements, habits, motivation, repetition in autism00:55 Five Subcortical Areas Dorsal striatum (caudate/putamen = inputs); relays (globus pallidus external, subthalamic nucleus); outputs (globus pallidus internal, substantia nigra reticulata)02:54 Direct Pathway (Go) Excitatory cortex → dorsal striatum → inhibits internal pallidus/reticulata → frees thalamus → activates movement06:34 Indirect Pathway (No-Go) Cortex → dorsal striatum → external pallidus → subthalamic → excites outputs → inhibits thalamus → suppresses movement11:25 Major Inputs Cortex (esp. sensory-motor/prefrontal); thalamus (alerts); substantia nigra compacta (dopamine D1/D2 modulation)13:32 Modulators & Cortex Regions Serotonin (patience); acetylcholine (focus shift); inputs from sensory-motor (habits), prefrontal (planning), parietal (context)18:42 Medium Spiny Neurons Dorsal striatum cells with larger spines; repetitive firing strengthens synapses (morphology/plasticity)23:20 Autistic Differences Larger dendrites/spines → limited flexibility; favors sameness/habits; reduced prefrontal influence28:42 DSM Criteria B2/B3 Link B2: repetitive behaviors/rituals; B3: restricted/fixated interests—core autistic traits tied to basal ganglia habits/intensity32:24 Motivation & Change Basal ganglia (not individual) defines motivation via strengthened connections; explains difficulty with change, splinter skillsX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Dr. McFillin was a guest on the popular Health Ranger Report. This is the full interview. He was joined by Tracy Thurman-a person of faith until a cardiologist—not a psychiatrist—put her on Prozac for "energy." Within weeks, her connection to God vanished. She became a materialist atheist for seven years. In this episode, Tracy and Dr. McFillin expose what they call the psychiatric industrial complex's "spiritual weapon of war"—and why these drugs are designed to make you feel dead inside and that experience is measured as "working". A fascinating episode featuring a topic rarely discussed. 

Most people think dementia starts with memory loss. But for millions, it actually begins decades earlier: in the blood vessels. Long before someone forgets a name or misses an appointment, the brain is being quietly damaged by high blood pressure, cholesterol imbalance, poor sleep, inflammation, and chronic stress, day after day, year after year. This kind of damage doesn't look dramatic. There's no big stroke, no clear warning sign. It happens slowly and silently, which is why it's so often missed until it's too late. But here's the good news: vascular dementia is one of the most preventable and manageable forms of cognitive decline. When caught early, lifestyle changes and medical interventions can help slow the onset and manage the effects. In this episode, we explore: What vascular dementia and vascular cognitive impairment are, and how they differ from Alzheimer's disease Why most dementia cases involve both vascular damage and neurodegenerative pathology (mixed dementia) How blood vessel damage begins in childhood and accumulates silently for decades The role of high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, sleep disorders, and chronic stress in damaging brain vasculature Why slowed thinking, movement, and processing speed are hallmark signs of vascular cognitive decline The critical importance of the endothelium: the thin lining of blood vessels that controls brain health How lifestyle factors like nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management protect and repair vascular health Why managing blood pressure early is one of the most powerful interventions for long-term brain health (and why everyone should have a blood pressure monitor at home!) How vascular damage can be slowed, even in midlife Practical steps for prevention across the lifespan, from childhood through older adulthood Our guest for this episode is DR. COLUMBUS BATISTE, a board-certified interventional cardiologist, an incredible science communicator, and author of 'Selfish: A Cardiologist's Guide to Healing a Broken Heart'. Dr. Batiste brings deep expertise on how cardiovascular health shapes brain health, and why protecting the endothelium (the inner lining of blood vessels) is foundational to longevity. His work emphasizes that all roads to longevity are paved by the heart, and what's good for the heart is good for the brain! 'Your Brain On…' is hosted by neurologists, scientists, and public health advocates Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai.

How can healthcare professionals transform burnout and trauma into a revitalized life and practice?In this special episode of Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare, Dr. Andrea Austin reads from her book Revitalized, focusing on the chapter "The Revitalization." She reflects on her own soul-level burnout at the end of the pandemic, sharing a formula for change: inflection point + inner work + clarity = revitalization. Drawing from personal experiences and expert insights, she emphasizes embracing the past's pain as part of growth, avoiding trauma loops, and intentionally "doing the work" for self-improvement.You'll hear how to:Recognize burnout as a chronic issue requiring inner reflection, not just quick fixes, and frame it as an opportunity for revitalization beyond "bouncing back."Differentiate top-down therapies (like CBT and talk therapy) from bottom-up approaches (like EMDR, somatic experiencing, and art therapy) for trauma healing, especially in high-stress fields like medicine.Understand coaching as a future-focused partnership for unlocking potential, while knowing when to seek therapy first, given high rates of PTSD (40%) and depression (30%) among healthcare workers.Navigate "VUCA" (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity) in healthcare, including life quakes like job loss or health crises, and avoid maladaptive coping like overconsumption or addictions.Build vulnerability in hard conversations, reflect on perfectionism, and beware predatory coaching programs while prioritizing ethical, supportive resources.If you're a healthcare professional grappling with burnout, trauma, or the desire for more fulfillment, this episode offers empathetic guidance, reflective questions, and actionable steps to craft your own revitalization.

Episode Overview  If you've been struggling with betrayal for a long time despite trying multiple healing approaches, this episode reveals why well-meaning practitioners and proven methodologies often miss the mark when it comes to betrayal-specific recovery.  Key Topics Covered  Why Life Coaching Isn't Enough  Life coaching excels at goal setting, accountability, and mindset shifts  Works beautifully for career advancement, relationship improvement, and business growth  Falls short for betrayal survivors because you're not starting from the same place  When betrayed, your reality is shattered and your nervous system is in crisis  The Therapy Gap  Traditional therapy covers diagnostic criteria, CBT, trauma treatment, and mental health conditions  Post Betrayal Syndrome® isn't in the DSM yet, so therapists don't know to look for it  Over 100,000 people have taken the Post Betrayal Syndrome assessment with staggering symptom statistics  Physical, mental, and emotional symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, hypervigilance, sleep and gut issues all share one underlying cause  The Trust Rebuilding Misconception  Relationship coaches often focus solely on rebuilding trust with the betrayer  Multiple aspects of trust are shattered: trust in yourself, others, your intuition, and your judgment  Rebuilding trust with your partner is actually the last piece, not the first  Why Other Modalities Fall Short  Trauma-informed training: Doesn't differentiate betrayal from other traumas  Somatic training: Critical for nervous system regulation but doesn't address the complete framework  Attachment training: Valuable for relationship patterns but doesn't address identity shattering  Grief counseling: Helpful but betrayal involves grief PLUS reality disruption, identity crisis, and complete trust shattering  The Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough™  General trauma treatment doesn't account for betrayal-specific stages  Someone in Stage 2 presents very differently than someone in Stage 3, 4, or 5  Understanding the stages reveals why certain responses occur and what's needed to progress  The Timing Problem  Right tools at the wrong time backfire  Stage 2 (shock/trauma) clients aren't ready for accountability structures  Stage 4 clients don't need basic nervous system regulation anymore  Proper healing requires the right modalities at the right stage  The Stage 3 Trap  What a Stage 3 Life Looks Like:  Surviving but not thriving  Managing and suppressing Post Betrayal Syndrome symptoms  Keeping people at bay out of fear  Building a safe but flat life  67% of betrayed individuals prevent forming deep relationships to avoid being hurt again  84% have an inability to trust again (out of 100,000+ studied)  The Ripple Effects:  Limited depth in relationships  Challenges with workplace collaborations and partnerships  Inability to trust yourself, your judgment, or your perception of reality  Attracting more of the same situations  Making decisions from Stage 3 thinking versus Stage 4 or 5 thinking  The Solution  Why Specialized Betrayal Training Matters:  All aspects need rebuilding: physical, mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual  Requires a proven roadmap through all five stages  Not just talk therapy, not just somatic work, not just goal setting—all of it together at the right time  Updated PBT Certification:  Newly revised certification modules  New exam, experiential exercises, forms, and worksheets  Designed to help clients identify their current stage and move to the next one  Makes it easier to work with clients using stage-specific tools  Key Statistics  Over 100,000 people have taken the Post Betrayal Syndrome assessment  67% prevent forming deep relationships due to fear of being hurt again  84% report an inability to trust again  The Bottom Line  There's no reason to stay stuck in Stage 3. People need to get back to their lives, their work, their kids, families, and friends in the way they can only do when they heal. The roadmap exists—it's the Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough™.    Resources Mentioned:  Post Betrayal Syndrome® Assessment  PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Certification: https://thepbtinstitute.com/get-certified/   The Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough™: https://thepbtinstitute.com   For Practitioners: The more coaches, practitioners, and healers who become certified in this methodology, the more people can access the specialized help they need for betrayal recovery.    Discover why traditional therapy, life coaching, and healing methods fall short for betrayal recovery. Learn about Post Betrayal Syndrome®, the Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough™, and why specialized betrayal training is essential for true healing and transformation. 

In this solo episode, Lisa takes a step back and asks a different question about “disorders”—especially eating disorders—not as something broken or pathological, but as ways the nervous system learned to survive. Lisa's discussion centers on healing through safety, trust, and behavior-first change—embodying new patterns until the nervous system habituates—through tender and fierce self-compassion, balanced integration, and very small, sustainable steps. Along the way, Lisa offers practical examples that apply to intuitive eating, weight loss, and everyday habits, inviting listeners into a more human, aligned, and compassionate way of changing.Topics Include:Survival StrategiesSelf-CompassionEmbodied ChangeHumanized Healing[0:55] Lisa welcomes listeners and encourages listeners to catch up for the full context of this episode. This chapter marks a transition toward topics she has long been eager to address more directly.[2:45] Lisa discusses graduate social work training where the DSM is treated as authoritative. Lisa discusses how eating disorder categories have expanded over time due to observed patterns, not necessarily because human behavior fundamentally changed.[7:58] Lisa contrasts dissociative identity disorder with Internal Family Systems (IFS), which validates natural inner parts or sub-personalities. She talks about how clients doing the work notice conflicting inner parts; she normalizes this as human, not psychosis..[10:45] Lisa challenges reframing things as not an eating disorder but a strategy to regulate the energetic mind-body-soul system involving food. Similarly, Lisa points out that it's not about the substance or behavior but the function it serves and how it regulates the nervous system. [16:02] Lisa talks about how some addictions like overworking are socially rewarded; while others are condemned. She talks about how a person in a larger body overeating and a person in a smaller body undereating may be driven by comparable nervous-system conditions. Despite opposite behaviors, both can produce similar nervous-system sensations, reinforcing familiar physiology and cycles.[20:42] Lisa talks about not being impressed by things such as weight loss if they cost health, relationships, and well-being. She values outcomes integrated into a balanced, joyful life—sustainable, gradual changes with work-life balance, fulfillment, family time, and hobbies.  [27:18] Lisa shares her thoughts on how it's more that we accept the love we feel safe to receive, not necessarily the love we think we deserve. She discusses how many are conditioned through diet culture, hustle culture, family dynamics, social systems, into self-objectification and suppression of feelings, relating to themselves as bodies to control rather than whole beings. [31:09] Lisa discusses acting as if you are worthy and safe to receive care, even if feelings lag behind. She suggests one does not need to feel worthy to receive care but be willing to receive it and do the caring behaviors anyway. She states the method for this is baby steps to honor the nervous system; progress paced to sensitivity and regulation rather than idealized timelines.[56:04] Lisa closes the episode with a discussion of the growth zones, embraces the learning zone; avoids overshooting into danger and how discomfort is necessary for learning. She states to integrate action and acceptance across behaviors for sustainable change, one must pair outer steps with inner care.*The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

Full Text: https://eggshelltherapy.com/existential-depression/Sometimes, you have a lingering, niggling sense that says you are capable of more than your life currently reflects.Perhaps you wake up with a quiet, persistent hum that whispers you are in the wrong city, the wrong company, the wrong room. You function well on the surface, meeting obligations and appearing competent, but underneath there is a constant awareness that you are hemorrhaging meaning, that something essential remains unlived and unexpressed. You watch peers announce promotions, publications, and prestigious positions, and feel a burning mixture of longing and shame at your own reaction. Does that mean you are somehow a horrible person to be feeling a bit envious?Existential depression in gifted adults can come from sensing the gap between your capacities and what your circumstances allow. It is the warfare between the part of you that wants to unfurl toward something larger and the part that has learned, through years of correction and dismissal, that your brightness is dangerous.We shame ourselves for wanting recognition, for caring about prestige, for imagining ourselves in contexts that finally match our internal magnitude. But what if the pain is not pathological? What if it is developmental, a sign of growth, and the seed of your next breakthrough? Psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut wrote about our human need for mirroring, for having our inner reality reflected back accurately by our environment. For those whose complexity, intensity, and particular cognitive capacities were rarely recognized or understood, the longing for congruence between internal and external reality is not shallow vanity. Continue reading to understand why your envy is a messenger, how the lack of mirroring created your current distress, and what it means to hold the tension between who you are and who you might become without collapsing into either denial or self-destruction. Note: Existential depression as discussed here is not a clinical diagnosis in the DSM and can coexist with clinical depression. Please do not hesitate to seek psychiatric input if clinical depression is part of your experience.Eggshell Therapy and Coaching: eggshelltherapy.com About Imi Lo: www.imiloimilo.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/eggshelltherapy_imilo/ Newsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRzDisclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.

In this episode, Dr. David Puder hosts a discussion on schizoid personality dynamics through the lens of Franz Kafka's life and writings. Discover why the DSM-5's surface-level criteria for schizoid personality disorder falls short, often missing the intense inner conflict between a profound yearning for connection and a paralyzing fear of engulfment. Drawing on the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM), Nancy McWilliams' insightful perspectives, and Kafka's unsent "Letter to His Father" plus classics like "The Metamorphosis," the group explores how schizoid traits differ from autism, involve hypersensitivity rather than social cue deficits, and manifest in creative, introspective individuals.

In the 1950s, about 50% of patients who died in a hospital in the U.S. received an autopsy. Today, that figure is in the single digits, which is a big loss according to two people who care a lot about this topic: One is Dr. Alex Williamson, an forensic and pediatric pathologist who performs autopsies and talks to families of the deceased about what he learned in the process. The other is Sam Ashworth, a novelist who went looking for a storytelling device and found an obsession. This week, both men explain why autopsies are important and what they can teach us about living. Sam Ashworth's novel ⁠The Death and Life of August Sweeny⁠ is available now.
