Dr Russell Thackeray interviews Melbourne-based clinician and BBM (Brain Benefit Movement) founder Aram Cargill, a father of nine and former musician who developed a protocol to improve self-regulation and executive function, informed by raising a daughter with level 3 autism and two sons with ADHD and publishing multiple journal papers.They discuss ADHD diagnosis via DSM indicators, how ADHD traits vary by individual, and how ADHD-like symptoms can arise from stress, trauma, environment, and modern “base load” pressure.Cargill differentiates ADHD and autism, describing autism as more insular and emphasising expectation management and transition “thresholds,” and explains hyperfocus and detail-noticing as strengths.They explore higher burnout in neurodivergent people, concerns about short-form scrolling (including a child's stutter resolving when iPads were removed), and his book “Seven Pillars of Mental Fitness,” arguing for proactive mental fitness in schools and a physiology-first lens; he outlines pillars including vision, attitude, awareness, adaptability, grit, recovery, and connectivity, and shares where to find the book and his research.00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:27 Aram Background and BBM01:58 What ADHD Really Is04:01 Symptoms vs Diagnosis07:10 ADHD and Autism Differences08:23 Autism Expectations and Safety12:16 Hyperfocus and Tech Careers15:41 Burnout and Modern Stress18:21 Social Media and Kids Brains22:20 Why Mental Fitness Matters27:10 Seven Pillars Overview29:45 Physiology First Psychology31:14 Who the Book Is For33:51 Where to Get the Book34:58 Find Aram and ClosingYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com
Send us Fan MailWhat if the constant sense that something is wrong with you was never about you at all, but about the family system you had to bend yourself around to survive?In this episode, we unpack what it means to be the adult child of a mother with NPD or BPD, starting with what the DSM actually says about each disorder and why narcissistic traits are not the same as a clinical diagnosis. We talk about how the entire family contorts around the illness, how collusion and gaslighting leave you feeling like the black sheep, and how growing up without room to develop a self can lead to identity crises decades later. We also cover where to find support if you recognize yourself in any of this.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #539 | How Shame Prevents the Cycle of Motivation - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/539-how-shame-prevents-the-cycle-of-motivation/id1511831621?i=1000789504920Learn more about:

"I'm addicted to sugar." "Once I start, I can't stop." If you've ever said something like this, you're not exaggerating, and you're not alone. In this episode, Dr. Lisa Oldson breaks down the real science behind food addiction: why it mirrors substance use disorders, why it's still missing from the DSM-5, and what the Yale Food Addiction Scale tells us. She covers the latest research connecting ultra-processed foods, brain reward pathways, and even GLP-1 medications, then walks through what evidence-based treatment looks like, from cognitive behavioral therapy to harm-reduction approaches. If you've ever wondered whether your relationship with certain foods is more than a willpower problem, this episode gives you the science, the tools, and a next best action to start with.Thanks for listening!

Are you constantly craving connection but terrified of rejection? Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD) goes beyond typical shyness or introversion—it can keep you trapped in a cycle of loneliness and an intense fear of judgment. In this video, we explore the distinct symptoms of AvPD, how it heavily overlaps with social anxiety, and why someone might desperately want friends but actively avoid them. We discuss how this pervasive pattern develops, the role of a negative cognitive bias, and the practical steps and therapies (like CBT and Schema Therapy) that can help you finally build meaningful, lasting relationships. ✨ EPISODE SPONSORS OneSkin: Get 15% off scientifically backed peptide skincare with code KATI at https://oneskin.co/kati Hero Bread: Enjoy 10% off high-protein, high-fiber baked favorites with code KATI at https://hero.co

This week on The UpLevel Podcast, join us in this live coaching session with seasoned talent leader Liz Mackay as she brings a question so many leaders are covertly wrestling with right now: how do you hold speed, performance, and cost discipline in one hand, and genuine humanity in the other, without one collapsing the other? Liz has spent more than two decades helping organizations grow and change. But underneath the titles and the transformation roadmaps, she came to this conversation asking something more personal: do I believe I'm the kind of steward my people need right now?

If you're leading people through change and wondering how to stay grounded while everything moves fast, this conversation is for you. In This Episode:Leading a "messy middle" transformation without losing trust The difference between solving fast and solving well Naming and working with a saboteur (limiting belief) How to lead through organizational transformation without losing your humanity Why high-performing leaders can become overly focused on solutions How embodiment can become another source of leadership intelligence Why leaders need to allow people room to make mistakes and grow How vulnerability can strengthen connection with a team What it means to be a steward of people during a difficult period of change How a leader's personal behavior can influence the culture around them What kind of legacy leaders leave through the people they develop If this conversation has you asking similar questions about your own leadership right now, Executive Coaching is built for leaders navigating exactly this kind of complexity and pressure.

Fala, pessoal! Continuando nosso bate papo do último episódio, e claro, se você ainda não nos segue, aproveita pra seguir a gente e já deixar aquelas 5 estrelas super importantes ;-)Será que estamos confundindo sofrimento humano com doença mental?Na parte 2 continuamos o papo sobre nunca ter se falado tanto sobre ansiedade, TDAH, autismo, depressão e saúde mental. Ao mesmo tempo, nunca foi tão fácil encontrar testes, quizzes e vídeos nas redes sociais prometendo explicar quem somos em poucos minutos.Mas será que estamos realmente compreendendo melhor o cérebro... ou apenas criando novos rótulos?Neste episódio do PODCAST CEREBRANDO, Ivo bate um papo com o neurologista Dr. Diogo Nones e o psiquiatra Dr. Taylor Reis e o resultado é uma das conversas mais profundas e provocativas que já tivemos sobre neurociência, psiquiatria e saúde mental por aqui.Ao longo do episódio discutimos por que ainda não existem exames capazes de diagnosticar a maioria dos transtornos psiquiátricos, os limites do DSM-5 e do CID, os riscos da medicalização excessiva, o crescimento dos auto diagnósticos nas redes sociais, a busca por biomarcadores e como a inteligência artificial poderá transformar o futuro da medicina.Mais do que discutir diagnósticos, este episódio convida a uma reflexão fundamental: o foco da medicina deve estar no rótulo ou no sofrimento real da pessoa?Dentre os assuntos discutidos falamos sobre:
TDAH pode ser herdado? Precisa de medicação? Uma criança pode ter TDAH, TEA e TOD ao mesmo tempo?Neste episódio, a mentora Mara Duarte responde às principais dúvidas de pais e professores sobre TDAH e TOD, abordando hereditariedade, necessidade de medicação, comportamento em diferentes contextos e critérios diagnósticos segundo o DSM-5.Também respondemos se toda criança com autismo tem TDAH, o que caracteriza o TDAH tipo desatento e quais orientações práticas ajudam crianças e adultos com o transtorno.Um episódio para pais, professores e profissionais da educação que desejam esclarecer dúvidas reais sobre TDAH e TOD.

I sat down with Alaura and Amber from Into the Weeds, the podcast that first dug through the Gypsy Rose Blanchard FOIA files. I wanted their honest reaction to my microdeletion episode, including the part where they felt like I'd pitted them against a genetic expert. We discuss: Is there actual evidence Gypsy was medically abused? I put a page from Dee Dee's medical file in front of them, a handwritten list of Gypsy's supposed diagnoses, and we argue about whether it points to Munchausen by proxy, malingering, or something the DSM-5 doesn't cleanly cover at all. We also get into the prison calls and how Gypsy seems to become a different person depending on who's on the other end of the line. This is part one of a longer conversation.

Een heerlijk gevecht op de Sierra de la Pandera in de Vuelta. Marco Brenner bezorgt Tudor de eerste ritzege in een grote ronde, terwijl Primoz Roglic de verliezer van de dag is. Hij moet 25 seconden prijsgeven én zijn tweede plek in het klassement afstaan aan Felix Gall. Raakt de eindzege nu een beetje uit zicht voor Roglic? Niek Goedvolk bespreekt het in een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Daniël Dwarswaard. Ook hebben we het over ritwinnaar Brenner, die, zoals zoveel toprenners, uit de stal van DSM komt. Verder hebben we het over de spanningen tussen de renners en de organisatie van de Vuelta. Vanwege de hitte hadden de renners gevraagd of de etappe van vandaag ingekort kon worden, maar de organisatie ging daar niet in mee. Tot onvrede van een groot deel van het peloton. Waarom moeten renners altijd eerst in opstand komen voordat er iets gebeurt? Je hoort het in een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Societal recluses exist in every culture. But in Japan, the number of permanent shut-ins has risen to incredible levels. There are estimated to be around one million Hikikomori, or ‘modern-day hermits', in Japan today, and the term has even been proposed to be included in the DSM-5.So what is it about Japanese culture that causes so many young men to never leave the house? Press play to join us in investigating why so many Japanese citizens choose to live their lives in almost complete social isolation.--Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / Instagram

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

Ask Rachel anythingIf your teenage daughter says, “I have anxiety,” “my ADHD was out of control today,” or calls a friend “toxic,” it can feel both strangely sophisticated and oddly shallow at the same time. She has language. She has labels. But somehow, you're still not sure what's really going on inside her.In this episode with psychiatrist Dr Suzanne Garfinkel-Crowell, author of Girlhood Translated: Understanding Girls in the Age of Therapy Speak and Self-Diagnosis, we pulled back the curtain on what this language is doing for girls — and what it's doing to them.I particularly loved Suzanne's tip for us parents:‘The biggest problem with therapy speak is when it's a conversation stopper, because really, these words should be conversation starters.'In the discussion she gives us parents ideas on how to move beyond the language our kids are using, and help them understand what's really going on. This isn't an “anti-diagnosis” conversation. It's about understanding how the language of mental health, the DSM, and social media are shaping girlhood, and how we as parents can respond in a way that brings us closer instead of shutting our daughters down.Dr Suzanne Garfinkle-CrowellIf you'd like written notes to remind you about the points in this episode, or you'd like to think more about it, come to my SubstackSupport the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit.

Right now, someone is sitting across from a psychiatrist about to get a prescription for anxiety that has nothing to do with the real root cause. In this episode, Dr. Steven Noseworthy breaks down the hidden mechanism connecting blood sugar crashes and anxiety — not two separate problems, but one feedback loop.You'll learn why anti-anxiety medications leave more than half of patients with unresolved symptoms even after years of use, why GABA — the brain's main calming neurotransmitter — is actually a byproduct of energy metabolism, why oral GABA supplements can't cross the blood-brain barrier, and the surprising link between your balance system, your frontal lobe, and your ability to control anxiety.Key Topics:Why the DSM-5's anxiety categories don't explain what causes anxietyThe neuroendocrine immune supersystem behind anxietyHow the amygdala and frontal lobe act as an accelerator/brake systemWhy blood sugar crashes trigger the same cortisol/adrenaline cascade as real dangerWhy anxiety wakes you up between 1-3amHow GABA is made as a byproduct of energy metabolism (Krebs cycle → glutamate → GABA)The hidden link between balance/coordination problems and anxietyTimestamps:00:24 Introduction to the link between anxiety and blood sugar02:51 Anxiety diagnosis and treatment framing06:08 A systems view of anxiety07:03 How the brain regulates anxiety09:56 Blood sugar as an anxiety trigger13:16 Why anxiety can wake you at night14:31 Energy metabolism and GABA17:55 Balance, the frontal lobe, and anxiety19:34 Key takeaways and next stepsDr. Noseworthy runs a virtual functional medicine practice based in Florida, working with women across the US and internationally who are untangling blood sugar, adrenal, thyroid, and gut issues that show up as anxiety.

At one university, the share of students receiving disability accommodations rose sevenfold in a decade. Is that progress? In this episode, health care educator and patient advocate Richard A. Lawhern argues that psychiatric overdiagnosis is handicapping the very students it aims to help, and that the research underneath much of modern psychiatry may not hold up. This episode is based on his article "Why psychiatric overdiagnosis fails the students who suffer," published on KevinMD. You will hear why he says a rise in student diagnoses reflects misallocated help rather than real need, how the replication crisis has undercut studies that shaped the field, and why critics like Allen Frances have questioned the expanding reach of the DSM-5. He also lays out where he thinks families harmed by misdiagnosis may have recourse. Hear the case he makes for why the science behind these diagnoses may not hold up, and what he thinks families can do about it. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

On Friday morning, twelve people in Plymouth, Massachusetts asked to see two things: a bag of prescription pill bottles and the knife Lindsay Clancy used on herself. That request is the entire factual content of the biggest news day in this trial since closing arguments, and within hours it had been publicly interpreted as a conviction, an acquittal, a hung jury, and a verdict coming Monday before lunch.This episode walks Friday minute by minute, then does the thing this show exists to do: separates what happened from what people needed it to mean.Also covered: the prosecution's rebuttal psychiatrist, Dr. Avram Mack, resigned from Nemours Children's Health on the same day he finished testifying, and Nemours will not say why. What that fact does and does not establish. The full evidentiary record the jury is working through, including why the central dispute is not whether Clancy was mentally ill. The five verdict options and what an insanity finding actually means in Massachusetts, which is not what the internet says it means. The sidewalk outside the courthouse, where pink t-shirts and handwritten signs reading "1st Degree MURDER" sat on benches thirty feet apart.And a Reality Check on why women are responding to this case the way they are, built on a fact most of the coverage has missed entirely: postpartum psychosis, the condition at the center of this five week trial, is not in the DSM.Recorded Sunday afternoon. The jury returns Monday at 9 a.m. Eastern. Nothing in this episode assumes a verdict.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
In this Water Cooler Chat, Nicole breaks down what it actually means to receive a mental health diagnosis—and why it's about much more than checking boxes or assigning a billing code.Using the Lindsay Clancy case as a backdrop, Nicole explores the DSM, ICD, differential diagnosis, and her three-legged stool of diagnostic criteria, the overall clinical picture, and clinical judgment. She also discusses why diagnoses can evolve as new information emerges and why one symptom—or one code—can never tell the whole story.The takeaway: The DSM and ICD give clinicians a shared language, but the person is always bigger than the diagnosis.
Jay Gunkelman has read more than half a million brain scans — and this week host Pete Jansons handed him one he refused to read. Working through the recording, Jay's verdict wasn't a diagnosis or an interpretation. It was simpler: "This isn't real. Do it again."That kicks off a conversation with Jay and Dr. Mari Swingle about the thing that gets lost in all the excitement over brain maps: the interpretation is only as good as the recording underneath it. From the minimum standards most people skip, to the craft of pulling usable data off a squirming 4½-year-old, to why the best AI interpretation Jay has ever seen still only earns a C-minus — this one is about what separates real EEG from "We Map Your Crap." Plus a bonus segment with Joshua Moore on QEEG phenotypes.
Amy welcomes in Angela Quintana for a “McBee day,” share quick Bravo news about Boz's traditional Ghanaian wedding and Danielle from Summer House bringing her premature baby boy home after 63 days in the NICU, then discuss perimenopause struggles and a neck fan that helps with hot flashes. They also follow the Lindsey Clancy trial, hoping for a not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity verdict and advocating for postpartum psychosis to be recognized in the DSM. The episode's main focus is a recap of the McBee Dynasty season finale: the brothers' plan to sell the car washes to cover massive debt, tensions with CFO Galyna, and skepticism about a staged-looking truck-window smashing scene. They later look up updates suggesting the car washes weren't sold and Cole didn't lose his house, questioning how real the show's cliffhanger was.This episode is sponsored by:OAK ESSENTIALS Luminous Body Lotionhttps://oakessentials.comBUBS NATURALS COLLAGEN AND PEPTIDESLive Better Longer with BUBS Naturals.

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.

"It's about knowing your limits, knowing where you are energy-wise, time-wise, resource-wise, and just doing what you can — and knowing that is enough, and that is making a difference." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, OcuTrap, and Neighborhood Cats TNR Certification Workshop. Jen Blough returns to the podcast after nearly a decade away — she was featured in the show's first fifty episodes — to talk about the work she's built in the years since: helping animal welfare professionals name and navigate the emotional toll of the field. A licensed professional counselor, former shelter worker and animal control officer, and lifelong animal advocate, Jen didn't set out to specialize in compassion fatigue. She backed into it in grad school, when a professor described the symptoms of secondary traumatic stress and she realized he was describing her own life. Much of the conversation is spent untangling terms that get used interchangeably but aren't the same thing. Jen breaks down compassion fatigue as the combination of burnout (which comes from your environment — under-resourced organizations, systemic failures, day-to-day friction) and secondary traumatic stress (which comes from absorbing someone else's trauma, human or animal). She walks through how moral distress and moral injury fit in — the no-good-options decisions that TNR caregivers and shelter workers face constantly — and why none of these, despite how real they feel, show up in the DSM. The back half of the conversation turns to grief, and this is where the discussion gets specific to community cat work. Jen introduces two concepts: disenfranchised grief (loss that society doesn't validate, which often includes animal loss) and ambiguous loss (grief without closure — not knowing what happened to a cat who stops showing up at a colony). Stacy and Jen talk through the real tension caregivers face around outdoor cats aging out of a colony, and how organizations can handle transparency with volunteers about euthanasia and loss without either traumatizing them or leaving them in the dark. Jen closes with practical advice on knowing your limits and recognizing that showing up in smaller ways — a donation, a shared post, a bag of food — still counts as meaningful advocacy. Press Play Now For: The real difference between burnout, compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, moral distress, and moral injury Why compassion fatigue isn't a diagnosable condition, and how it can fluctuate day to day Disenfranchised grief and why animal loss so often gets dismissed by people outside the field Ambiguous loss — the particular grief of not knowing what happened to a cat who never returns to the feeding station How organizations can navigate telling (or not telling) volunteers about euthanasia and cat loss Jen's advice for recognizing your capacity and letting "not right now" be an acceptable answer A first look at Jen's forthcoming book and new certification program for animal welfare professionals Resources & Links Jen Blough's website Beyond Compassion Fatigue: Trauma, Resilience, and Recovery in Animal Care and Advocacy — pre-order To Save a Starfish: A Compassion Fatigue Workbook for the Animal Welfare Warrior Beyond Compassion Fatigue podcast
Dr. Avram Mack, the psychiatrist prosecutors brought in to rebut the defense's insanity claim, spent Monday getting worked over by defense attorney Kevin Reddington 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 resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington opened by dredging up prior cases where courts found Mack didn't have the credentials to testify — not exactly a confidence builder before he even got to the substance. Then came the number nobody likes saying out loud in a courtroom: several hundred thousand dollars a year, Mack's take from expert testimony work. Reddington had him define confirmatory bias, then asked if he had it evaluating Clancy. Mack said no. He testified he evaluated Clancy in 2026 — three years after the killings — armed beforehand with defense records, DCF files, and medical history, across two doctors and roughly eight hours of interviews plus testing. He also noted that Drs. Heilbrun, Resnick, and Zeizel landed on bipolar 2, another doctor said bipolar 1, and that postpartum psychosis isn't even in the DSM, so he wouldn't use the term as a diagnosis.Prosecutors still need Mack's testimony to hold up despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

The prosecution spent Monday's redirect trying to put Dr. Avram Mack back together after Kevin Reddington's cross-examination left him bruised 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 resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Prosecutors used their redirect to walk Mack through something the defense hadn't dwelled on: that "postpartum onset" exists as a specifier within diagnoses like bipolar disorder and major depression, even if postpartum psychosis itself isn't a standalone DSM entry. It's a technical point, but it's the kind of technical point that can quietly undercut a defense theory without anyone raising their voice. Beyond that, the redirect stayed in the weeds — definitions of what "postpartum" actually covers clinically, more on Mack's qualifications, and other procedural cleanup. No bombshells here, just two sides fighting over the credibility of one witness inch by inch, Reddington working to keep the earlier damage intact, prosecutors working to patch it.It's not the most cinematic day of testimony, but it matters — juries remember whether an expert held up under pressure, and this was the prosecution's chance to make sure Mack's opinion still counts for something. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial hit a rough patch Monday for the prosecution, as its own rebuttal witness, psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack, spent hours under cross-examination from defense attorney Kevin Reddington. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorneys are pursuing an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington didn't ease in. He started with prior cases where courts had ruled Mack unqualified to testify, then moved to money — Mack testified he pulls in several hundred thousand dollars a year doing expert witness work. Asked to define confirmatory bias and then asked point-blank if he'd shown it evaluating Clancy, Mack said no. He testified he met with Clancy in 2026, three years removed from the killings, having already reviewed defense records, DCF documentation, and medical history — the evaluation itself ran roughly eight hours across two doctors and multiple days, including a full day of testing. He also acknowledged the diagnostic split in the case: Drs. Heilbrun, Resnick, and Zeizel diagnosed bipolar 2, another doctor diagnosed bipolar 1, and postpartum psychosis, he noted, isn't a recognized DSM diagnosis at all.Despite the rough cross, prosecutors are still expected to argue Clancy understood what she was doing regardless of her mental state. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Redirect testimony from Dr. Avram Mack turned into a battle over diagnostic fine print Monday in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her defense is built on a claim of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication led by attorney Kevin Reddington. After Reddington spent his cross picking at Mack's credentials and motives, prosecutors used redirect to reframe the whole diagnostic argument. They had Mack explain that while postpartum psychosis isn't its own DSM diagnosis, "postpartum onset" is a recognized specifier that can attach to conditions like bipolar disorder and depression — meaning the clinical reality the defense is describing has a home in
In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Kaytlyn Gilner, MA about complex post traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD). Kaytlyn discusses her personal journey with these diagnoses and how she came to specialize in working with clients with complex trauma and PTSD. Kaytlyn defines for listeners what CPTSD is and some signs and symptoms of the disorder. We discuss how CPTSD is not currently recognized as an official diagnosis in the DSM and how this impacts individuals receiving an accurate diagnosis and the clinical care they receive. Kaytlyn discusses what BPD is and some common misconceptions about BPD. We discuss similarities and differences between CPTSD and BPD, as well as misdiagnoses when it comes to individuals who have experienced complex trauma. We end the discussion by talking about therapeutic approaches that are best suited for individuals who have experienced complex trauma and/or are diagnosed with BPD.Information shared by guests on Psych Talk are reflective of their own values, perspectives, and life experiences. Psych Talk values platforming various perspectives and experiences even if those views are not necessarily reflective of Psych Talk's values and perspectives.

Rick Alexander is a depth-psychological counselor, psychedelic practitioner, and interfaith spiritual care provider currently completing his Ph.D. in Mythology/Depth Psychology and a former Naval Special Operations combat medic. Rick was a Special Operations combat medic until a single psychedelic experience shattered his worldview and sent him back to school to study psychedelic spiritual care. He and Dr. Mike dig into neuroplasticity windows, why “good trip/bad trip” is the wrong question, and what may really be happening in DMT space. Expect to learn how a rough teenage salvia trip and a later psilocybin experience redirected Rick's entire career, what life is really like as a Special Operations Combat Medic supporting SEALs and Green Berets, why military training narrows emotional range and makes civilian re-entry so hard, how integration (not the trip itself) determines whether a psychedelic experience heals or destabilizes you, what the "third wave" of psychedelic science gets right that the DSM's "hallucinogen" label gets wrong, whether neuroplastic windows could help athletes learn skills faster, and what a brutal 5-MeO-DMT experience taught Rick about his own running form and breathing.

Tonight we have Bram Duffee PhD, EMT-P on to talk about critical incident stress and management of psychological emergency communication. Bram is a paramedic, professor, author, and podcaster. He’s most recently written the book “Psychological Emergency Communication and Care by First Responders” along with Joseph Brigandi, MD, M.Ed., NCC, LPC-S. You can reach out to Bram at ProfessorBram.com. The episode included our disaster emergency management expert, Becky DePodwin and was co-hosted by Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Psychological Emergency Communication Book Discussion Bram discussed his recent book “Psychological Emergency Communication and Care by First Responders,” which he co-authored with Joseph Bergondi, a counselor and psychotherapist. Bram shared his background as a 30-year paramedic in Houston and a communications professor at Kennesaw State University in Georgia. The group also discussed Bram’s podcast focused on EMS research and plans to potentially connect Bram with Dr. Joe in the future to discuss research topics. Psychological Emergency Response Guide Sam and Bram discussed a practical guide for navigating psychological emergency situations designed for first responders including police officers, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, and lifeguards. Bram explained that while first responders receive basic training in psychology, they often lack extensive expertise in this area and tend to categorize patients rather than understanding their underlying issues. The book, co-authored by Bram and Joseph Bergandi, aims to help first responders better communicate with psychological patients by teaching them about these issues while emphasizing that their role is to observe, manage risk, and neutralize situations rather than diagnose. Psychiatric Emergency Response Training Bram and Sam discussed the challenges of managing psychiatric emergencies in first responder situations, emphasizing the need for better communication training. Bram highlighted that current national standard curricula lack sufficient focus on psych patient care and suggested increasing training requirements for communication skills in emergency medical services. He also noted the importance of training for police officers and firefighters who often encounter psychiatric emergencies, advocating for the inclusion of communication skills alongside other technical training. Continuing Education Programs for Responders Jamie asked about examples of systems with robust continuing education programs for responders to build communication skills. Bram responded that some systems have psych response teams, including Harris County, Texas, but noted these teams typically aren’t the first line of contact during emergencies, with police officers often being the initial responders. Psychological First Aid Strategies Bram discussed his approach to psychological first aid, emphasizing the nocebo effect and the importance of using positive language to help traumatic situations. He explained strategies for working with psych patients, including having a single leader, validating patients’ experiences, and leveraging grandiosity. Bram also mentioned his book, which provides tips and phrases for different emergency responders and includes a glossary of psychological conditions aligned with DSM-5 standards. Naloxone Administration and Responder Burnout The discussion focused on naloxone administration in overdose cases, where Bram shared his experience as a paramedic, explaining that not all patients need to be fully revived and there are risks of causing delirium or violence when patients wake up suddenly. Bram discussed responder burnout, attributing it to both personal accountability issues and inadequate management training, particularly highlighting the need for managers to develop proper leadership skills. The group agreed to have Bram return for a future episode to discuss disaster management and large-scale incident response, as this topic was not fully covered in the current conversation. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

This week a total stranger handed NeuroNoodle his brain. He pulled his own EEG, stripped out every identifying detail, and asked host Pete Jansons and Jay Gunkelman — the man who's read over half a million brain scans — to "read my brain" live on the show. What follows is a rare, unscripted master class: Jay decoding a real, de-identified brain map in real time, with Dr. Mari Swingle on the clinical side. Along the way: how to catch a brain map that's lying to you (Gauss's Law), why a 50Hz hum means the scan is European, how a sleep spindle and an SMR are the same wave, what very fast "glutamate beta" can suggest about a hyper-excitable cortex — and why Jay says the DSM has "no predictive validity" for choosing treatment. Then the reveal: a sharp, high-IQ 25-year-old who moved back home and burned out — and what Jay and Dr. Mari would do about it. Plus Joshua Moore on QEEG phenotypes and the "85%" finding.

On Thursday, August 13th, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts spent a morning of a triple murder trial walking a jury through a country music deep dive. Then Kevin Reddington got up and took about six questions to blow it up. Day 13 of the Lindsay Clancy trial in Plymouth Superior Court. Three witnesses: State Police Sgt. Kyle Pavao on the tablet, Sgt. Timothy Chiappini on the cellphone, and lead investigator Trooper Joshua McKelligan. Eight minutes of browser history from August 2022. Journal entries and affirmations read into the record. A note last modified the day before her children died. A bag of medication that went to the defense attorney instead of the State Police.

Narcissism, narcissistic abuse, and NPD get thrown around constantly online, and most of what circulates is wrong. In this episode, licensed marriage and family therapist Kati Morton walks through what narcissistic personality disorder actually is (all nine DSM criteria, and why five or more are required for a diagnosis), the difference between covert and overt narcissism, and the specific behavior patterns that make a relationship abusive: love bombing, gaslighting, trauma bonding, DARVO, flying monkeys, isolation, and intermittent reinforcement. She also covers the gray rock method, the signs you're walking on eggshells in your own home, and how healing from narcissistic abuse actually works. If you've been wondering whether what you experienced counts, or whether the person in your life is a narcissist or simply selfish and hurtful, this one is for you.

Chris Niebauer earned his Ph.D in cognitive neuropsychology from the University of Toledo, specializing in left- and right-brain differences. He is the author of The Abstract Mind: How Thinking Became the Source of Suffering—And How to Break Free, the bestselling No Self, No Problem: How Neuropsychology Is Catching Up to Buddhism, and its companion workbook. He taught consciousness, mindfulness, brain lateralization, and artificial intelligence for 22 years as a professor at a Pennsylvania state university. In this conversation, Chris explores the philosophical foundations of his new book, The Abstract Mind, drawing on William James's concept of vicious abstractionism and Alfred North Whitehead's fallacy of misplaced concreteness to examine how thinking itself can become a source of suffering. Building on the insights of No Self, No Problem, he considers the distinction between consciousness and thought, the role of affective neuroscience and embodied development, and why direct experience may offer a path beyond abstraction. Along the way, he reflects on artificial intelligence, contemplative practice, and what it might mean to come home to the immediacy of lived experience. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:04:03 Chris's background 00:10:58 Consciousness vs thinking 00:21:42 Thought, memory, abstraction, and reality 00:29:10 Vicious abstraction and the illusion of ownership 00:39:24 The DSM, mental illness, and consciousness 00:48:38 Affective neuroscience and emotion 00:53:11 Trauma, the nervous system, and safety 01:12:19 The richness of direct experience 01:20:32 Redefining our role in the age of AI 01:24:22 Jung, the unconscious, and awareness 01:26:59 A simple practice for everyday life Producer: Elena McNally Editor: John Hartmann (Recorded on July 11, 2026) New Thinking Allowed Guest Host Leanne Whitney, PhD, is a depth psychologist and transformational coach based in Los Angeles, CA.

Peter Santenello has been documenting his world travels on YouTube for nearly two decades, but it wasn't until he moved in with a family in the Ukrainian countryside that he really began to hone his storytelling approach. There were no flashy edits or celebrities, just visits with locals talking about their home, and his Ukraine series quickly gained an online following in that country. When the pandemic hit, Peter moved home to the United States and wondered if his formula could work there too – and that's when his audience really exploded. Now with more than 4 million subscribers, Peter travels around the country chronicling all sorts of micro-cultures that “the media fails to capture,” showcasing places at various points of the economic cycle, some booming, and others left out of prosperity and struggling to hold on. He joins Anna to talk about transitioning to US-based videos, what makes his approach unique, and why curiosity beats expertise. You can watch all of Peter's videos on his YouTube channel @PeterSantenello, and his new book Your Fellow Americans: Dispatches from Across the Country We Call Home is out now.

The modern DSM began as a short list of 12 well-validated diagnoses. But the list expanded as the authors changed the goals from validity to reliability.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is deeply misunderstood, heavily stigmatized, and far more complex than just "being emotional". In this episode of Ask Kati Anything, licensed marriage and family therapist Kati Morton breaks down the official BPD diagnostic criteria from the DSM, explaining how BPD symptoms actually present in real life, therapy offices, and everyday relationships. She explores the underlying fear of abandonment, idealization and devaluation (splitting), identity disturbances, and why BPD so frequently overlaps with PTSD, trauma, and ADHD. Plus, discover actionable evidence-based BPD treatment options like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, and Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) to help manage emotional dysregulation, navigate relationship boundaries, and work toward long-term remission.
