On this episode of Thrive Like a Parent, I sit down with Dr. Jon Stevens, a triple board–certified psychiatrist (adult, child, and obesity medicine) who I personally trust so much that I refer my own clients to him. We have a very real, very honest conversation about something parents are terrified to talk about: psychiatric medication for kids. Instead of jumping straight to meds, Dr. Stevens walks us through why accurate, thorough diagnosis is the real starting point—and how rushed 10–15 minute evaluations, urgent care visits, and online “checklist” diagnoses can lead to mislabeling kids, overmedicating, and missing what's really going on in the brain. We dive into: Why he doesn't lead with medication, even as a medication expert The difference between “drugs” and “medication” and why language matters for scared parents How symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar can overlap—and why this makes diagnosis so tricky The dangers of the “honeymoon period” with meds (when things feel great at first, then slowly fall apart) and why that can be a red flag Why so many kids end up on a “Franken-list” of 4–6 medications that often makes things worse How parents' own history with ADHD or mental health can quietly shape their fears and decisions When it's too soon to medicate, what “early intervention” really looks like, and why age 4 vs 14 is a very different treatment story The critical role of teachers, pediatricians, and specialists—and why short pediatric visits can't carry the full mental health load Why meds should be a tool, not a magic fix, and how they fit alongside nervous system education, behavior support, movement, sleep, nutrition, and environment Newer and lesser-understood diagnoses like PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) and ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)—and why they're often flavors or specifiers of a bigger picture, not life sentences How over-diagnosis and “diagnostic bloat” can leave parents feeling like their child is broken, instead of simply different and needing support. Throughout the episode, I share why I shifted my work to focus on teaching parents their own nervous system first, so they can better understand and support their child's. We talk about moving away from blame, fear, and labels—and toward personalized, compassionate, brain-based care that actually fits your child and your family. If you've ever thought: “I don't want to drug my kid.” “I'm scared of meds, but my child is really struggling.” “Do we really need a diagnosis for everything?” …this conversation will give you language, context, and grounded next steps—not more fear. If this episode resonated with you: Share it with a parent, teacher, or caregiver who's wrestling with questions about ADHD, anxiety, or medication.

After confidence boosting performances with Terence Trent D'Arby, the Tim Rice Extravaganza and closing out the 2000 Olympic Games, INXS sought an old mate to take the frontman duties in ex Noiseworks lead singer, Jon Stevens. Having carved a 20 plus year career as a soloist, frontman and pivotal member of the 1992/93 Jesus Christ Superstar revival stage show throughout Australia, Jon's credentials were bonafide and deserving. With domestic tours throughout Australia, subsequent ones to the USA, Latin America and Europe, it looked like INXS had overcome the inner uncertainty that plagued their previous 4 years. Armed with a plan to assert themselves across the globe in both a “live concert” and recording sense, optimism was high. Despite strong reviews of Jon's contribution to the band particularly in the performing sense, Jon would get disheartened with the lack of band creativity in the studio. With the sole single “I Get Up” released in 2003 to coincide with the Rugby Union World Cup the only fresh material, Jon would decide to leave INXS to pursue his own musical interests. That aside, Jon's contribution to the healing, morale and confidence for INXS to continue as a going concern entity cannot be underestimated and should be appreciated. We also go back to the year 1998 with a little pleasure and pain segment highlighting the sheer disparity of great and not so great songs that permeated the airwaves. So sit back, pour yourself a favourite tipple and enjoy a jam packed episode 182 of INXS: Access all Areas. Plus the all important comp comes to an end and we see who will win the 2 tickets to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. for more info check out our website https://www.inxsaccessallareas.com/
With the year 2000 upon us, the world was entering an exciting new century. Music, cinema, pop culture and the arts were evolving and INXS were starting to take bigger steps in a world without Michael Hutchence. With the dust settling on Michael's posthumous album release, INXS took the left field move of signing up to the Tim Rice Spectacular Concert Series through Australia. Joining recognized artists such as Iva Davies (Icehouse), David Essex (Rock On) and a bevy of renowned Australian artists re-interpreting Tim's amazing back catalogue of songs. With confidence slowly returning as an entity, the band continued to surprise teaming up with Jon Stevens (formerly Noiseworks) for two impromptu but sold out gigs in Melbourne and Sydney. With fans traveling as far as Chicago and the UK to attend these gigs, the level of passion and pride at seeing a full-set INXS gig again was palpable! Combined with some private corporate gigs, the band made their long awaited international return headlining the closing ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games with a rollicking updated version of What you Need that had the crowd on their feet. So with small steps, INXS were getting their mojo back in a steady and incremental way against the odds.
