A jury is now seated in Plymouth Superior Court to decide something nobody fully agrees on: whether Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible when her three children died. Eight days before it happened, she told her doctors what was going on inside her mind, and the record of what she said is now part of the case both sides are building. The prosecution isn't disputing that she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy. ADA Jennifer Sprague argues she mapped her husband's errand route on Apple Maps, calculated the window, and used exercise bands deliberately. To the Commonwealth, that's a woman who knew precisely what she was doing. The defense doesn't dispute the deaths either. Kevin Reddington is arguing postpartum psychosis, backed by a medical record showing thirteen psychiatric medications in four months, an ER visit, a McLean Hospital admission, and a husband who told doctors she'd turned into a zombie. The court denied a motion to split the trial into two phases. Then there's the whiteboard. Intubated and unable to speak after it was over, Lindsay Clancy wrote one question, and it's a detail that cuts straight to what this whole trial is trying to determine. Patrick Clancy is on both witness lists, called first by the prosecution and expected to testify for the defense as well. He's filed a malpractice suit against her doctors and told a reporter he wasn't married to a monster. We also walk through the Andrea Yates case, where a first jury convicted and a second jury acquitted on strikingly similar facts, and what that means for a Massachusetts jury operating under an even higher legal bar. Two juries have looked at nearly identical facts before and split completely. This jury still has to choose. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eight days before Lindsay Clancy's three children died, she told her doctors something that's now at the center of her trial. What she actually said is the detail neither side has fully put in front of the public, and it might be the fact that decides how this jury reads everything else. Both prosecution and defense agree on what happened inside that Duxbury home. What they don't agree on is whether Lindsay Clancy's mind was working in a way the law can hold her accountable for. The Commonwealth's theory rests on a digital trail, an Apple Maps route, a timed window, exercise bands. The defense points to thirteen psychiatric medications across four months, an ER visit, a McLean Hospital stay, and a husband who described her to doctors as a zombie. Then there's the whiteboard question. Intubated and unable to speak, Lindsay Clancy wrote something down that has split public opinion on this case right down the middle, and we go through what it actually means. The judge denied a request to try this case in two phases. That means one jury has to hold premeditation and psychosis in their heads at the same time, and Patrick Clancy, on both witness lists and expected to testify for both sides, sits right in the middle of that tension. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer walks through the Andrea Yates parallel, where a first jury convicted and a second acquitted on nearly the same facts, and what Massachusetts' higher legal standard means for the verdict here. History shows two juries can look at the same kind of case and land in opposite places. This one is far from decided. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two days on the witness stand. The prosecution's first and most important witness in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. And everything Patrick Clancy said in Plymouth Superior Court made the defense's case stronger.He walked the jury through finding a bedroom covered in blood, his wife beneath an open window, and his three children in the basement. The 911 call played in court left jurors visibly emotional and the judge calling a recess. But during cross-examination, Patrick described a woman who spent months going from provider to provider, getting prescription after prescription, tracking every pill in a journal, checking herself into McLean Hospital voluntarily — and never once being told by any medical professional that she shouldn't be left alone with Cora, Dawson, and Callan. The prosecution tried to undercut the overmedication defense with nine bottles still containing pills. Tony explains why that evidence cuts against the state's own argument. Plus the defense motion over how prosecutors are characterizing Lindsay's internet searches, and the voice Lindsay says she heard on the night of January 24, 2023.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution put Patrick Clancy on the stand first in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, and across two days at Plymouth Superior Court, they got something they probably didn't want. A portrait of a medical system that prescribed without monitoring, referred without following up, and discharged without warning the one person who needed to hear six words: do not leave her alone.Patrick testified to Lindsay's spiral after their third child — the insomnia, the ER visits, the rotating prescriptions, the voluntary admission to McLean Hospital. He told the jury she kept a journal tracking every pill. He said nobody ever told him his wife posed a risk to their children. Meanwhile, the prosecution walked nine prescription bottles past the jury, many still full, arguing the medications weren't taken. Tony breaks down what those bottles actually prove — and it isn't what the state thinks. Plus the seven-minute 911 call that stopped the courtroom cold, the man's voice Lindsay says she heard that night, and why the defense just filed a motion that could force prosecutors to stop misleading the jury about her internet searches.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy took the stand as the prosecution's lead witness. He gave them the 911 call — seven minutes of a father finding his three children with exercise bands around their necks, screaming into the phone while attempting CPR on a five-year-old, a three-year-old, and an eight-month-old. The courtroom broke. The judge called a recess. A reporter who's covered trials for four decades called it one of the worst things he's ever heard.But Patrick Clancy also gave the jury something the prosecution didn't plan on. He described driving Lindsay to ERs twice, watching her get prescribed medication after medication, pushing her to check into McLean Hospital when she didn't want to go, and asking her directly whether she needed to be kept from the children. She said no. And no provider in her care — not one — ever contradicted that. Tony unpacks every piece of testimony from the trial's most critical witness, the prosecution's pill-bottle strategy, the defense motion over Lindsay's internet searches, and the systemic failure that left three children unprotected by the institutions responsible for their mother's care.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy's murder trial in Plymouth Superior Court comes down to a question the law may not be equipped to answer: can eighteen jurors unanimously agree on what was happening inside one woman's mind on a single night in January 2023?The prosecution and the defense are not arguing about what she did. ADA Jennifer Sprague alleges Lindsay mapped her husband's errand route, created a window of time, and strangled Cora, Dawson, and Callan with exercise bands. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington does not dispute the deaths. He's arguing Lindsay was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and couldn't understand what she was doing. Her medical history includes an ER visit, a McLean Hospital admission, reported command hallucinations, and a rotating cocktail of psychiatric medications her own providers couldn't stabilize.Patrick Clancy — the father who lost all three children — is on both the prosecution and defense witness lists. He has publicly forgiven Lindsay and filed his own lawsuit against her doctors.Tony breaks down the prosecution's premeditation case, the defense's insanity argument, the Massachusetts burden-of-proof standard that surprises most people, and why this trial was heading for a hung jury before a single opening statement was delivered.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lindsay Clancy trial asks eighteen strangers to answer a question no one in the courtroom can prove. Both sides stipulate that she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan in January 2023. The prosecution's entire case is built around proving she was sane when she did it — and under Massachusetts law, that burden falls on them, not the defense.ADA Jennifer Sprague's theory rests on a digital trail: Apple Maps route calculations, timed errands, and what prosecutors describe as a manufactured window of opportunity. She has called Lindsay a methodical killer who "executed" her children "one by one."Kevin Reddington sees the same facts differently. His client voluntarily admitted herself to McLean Hospital. She told providers she was hearing voices commanding her to harm her children. She went to emergency rooms. She called crisis lines. She took every medication prescribed. And none of it stopped what happened on January 24. Reddington asked the court to let the defense concede the killings and evaluate her mental state separately. The court said no.Tony delivers his case for why this trial was structurally doomed before the first juror raised their hand — and why the system should have allowed a plea that would have reached the same outcome without six to eight weeks of testimony that nobody in that courtroom will recover from.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Both sides agree Lindsay Clancy killed her three children. Both sides agree she used exercise bands. Both sides agree it happened while Patrick Clancy was out picking up dinner. None of that is in dispute. What eighteen jurors have to decide is whether she understood what she was doing — and whether the medical system that was supposed to be treating her had already failed before she ever picked up those bands.The prosecution has a digital trail: Apple Maps calculations, internet searches, and journal entries they say prove deliberate premeditation. The defense has a medical record: thirteen medications over four months, a McLean Hospital admission, reported hallucinations, and a lawsuit against the providers who allegedly let her deteriorate. Both sides are presenting real evidence. They are just asking different questions about the same set of facts.Tony lays out every piece of the board going into openings. The prosecution's premeditation theory. The defense's postpartum psychosis argument. The bifurcation motion that was denied. Why Patrick Clancy sits on both witness lists. And why this trial was built around a question that eighteen people — who started picking sides the moment they heard three children died — may never agree on.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Show Notes:  Kiki (formerly Karen) Snyder shares her 35-year journey since her breakdown at Harvard, which landed her in restraints at McLean Hospital during exams in 1991. She discusses being misdiagnosed as severely bipolar, the 32 years she lost to toxic psychiatric medications, and the self she rediscovered. "Karen was full of fear and anger. Karen wanted to speak to the manager. But Kiki's in charge now. I am the manager." Learn more about her transformation on Instagram at @assignedkarenatbirth and at assignedkarenatbirth.com. From Karen to Kiki Kiki elaborates on her transformation from Karen to Kiki. A massage therapist specializing in Somatic Experiencing taught Kiki that our brains lie to us, our bodies know the truth. Kiki's body clearly told her it was finally time to leave the zip code she'd lived in for 50 years. She describes the upheaval of uprooting from Northern Virginia to coastal North Carolina after her mother's passing, and the impact of that change on her emotional well-being. Facing Pain and Healing from Trauma Kiki discusses the debilitating effects of the psychiatric medications she was on for 32 years and her work to taper off them. She describes the emotional numbness and exhaustion she experienced while on these medications. Kiki explains how getting off the medications allowed her to process trauma and emotions, leading to a significant personal transformation. She emphasizes the importance of sharing her story to help others who may be going through similar experiences. A Career in Social Media  Kiki recounts her career in social media, including her role at AOL in the early days of the Internet.  She describes her work at VeriSign, where she first discovered Web 2.0, which became social media. Her perseverance in the face of resistance resulted in the founding of VeriSign's social media program. Kiki shares her regret at not even considering the offer to relocate to Silicon Valley when the program she founded was moved there. She now realizes that her fear of not being strong enough was fueled by medications and years of being told she was fragile and sick. She discusses her subsequent role at the Federal Aviation Administration, where she founded their social media program.  Layoffs and Life Changes Kiki shares her experience of being laid off from her dream job at a big ad agency on the same day she moved to coastal North Carolina in 2024. Her entire division was cut, an early wave of workers displaced by AI. She reflects on the impact of the layoff, leading to a significant life change. Spirituality and Synchronicity Kiki talks about her interest in spirituality, metaphysics, and Jung's concept of synchronicities. She talks about sharing her story with the world and the positive responses she has received from others. Kiki discusses her efforts to let go of control, a trait she inherited from her former self, Karen.  A Burner Phone and AI "Therapy" Kiki shares her tips for beating her phone addiction. She installed the BePresent app, which helps her limit wasted time on social media. She recommends Claude, the AI chatbot she uses as a sounding board and where she worked through the grief and anger of losing three decades. And most importantly, a second phone. Every night the real phone stays in the kitchen and the "burner" comes to the bedroom, holding only music, an alarm, and the chatbot. Her advice to anyone trying to put their phone down: Get another phone! Harvard Reflections Kiki reminisces about her favorite classes at Harvard, including Irv DeVore's human behavioral biology class and Helen Vendler's poetry class. She shares her fascination with language and culture, particularly the unique language of Gen Z. Kiki discusses her plans to create new content by translating Shakespeare's sonnets into Gen Z slang. She expresses her excitement about learning and exploring new topics, including spirituality and metaphysics.

Everyone around Lindsay Clancy saw her getting worse. Her husband saw it and said so, directly to her doctors. The question this episode asks is simple: did the people treating her know, and if they did, why did they raise her medication instead of pulling back? She would go on to kill Cora, Dawson, and Callan, and both sides now agree on that fact — only her mental state at the time is in dispute.  Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, to examine the treatment record behind Lindsay Clancy's ongoing murder trial in Plymouth, Massachusetts, over the deaths of her children Cora, Dawson, and Callan in Duxbury. Shavaun starts with the diagnosis problem — providers allegedly logged intrusive thoughts at the same time Lindsay was reportedly describing a commanding voice telling her to harm her kids, two clinically distinct phenomena that got blurred together. It wasn't until after the killings that a forensic evaluation confirmed Bipolar I, a diagnosis her providers had weighed but never settled on.  From there, the prescribing history: thirteen medications across four months, five different providers, and — according to the lawsuit — no coordinated review of any of it. Patrick Clancy told providers his wife was ten thousand times worse on Seroquel. They increased the dose. She called a suicide hotline and was screened out. She waited three days at McLean Hospital before seeing a doctor.  Shavaun weighs in on how much of this was preventable, what a properly coordinated psychiatric team would have caught, and where the line falls between individual error and structural failure. It's the record the jury in Plymouth is being asked to sit with. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy called a suicide hotline before she killed her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts, and was told she didn't qualify for help because she didn't have a plan. That single phone call sits at the center of the trial now underway in Plymouth. Both sides agree Cora, Dawson, and Callan died at her hands. The only open question is criminal responsibility.  Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, to walk through everything that led to that call and everything that came after it. Lindsay's providers had documented intrusive thoughts around the same time she was reportedly describing a commanding voice telling her to harm Cora, Dawson, and Callan — a distinction Shavaun says the treatment team never fully reckoned with. A forensic evaluation eventually diagnosed Bipolar I, a diagnosis her providers had floated but never locked in while it mattered.  In the four months before the killings, Lindsay was prescribed thirteen different medications. Her husband, Patrick, warned providers directly that she was unrecognizable on Seroquel and asked them to stop. Instead of pulling back, they raised the dose. She checked into McLean Hospital on New Year's Eve and sat for three days before a doctor examined her. Five providers passed through her care, and the lawsuit alleges none of them ever compared notes.  Shavaun explains how a hotline screening script can miss a woman in active crisis, why revolving prescriptions without coordination make a bad diagnosis worse, and what should have happened differently the moment Patrick raised the alarm. This is the treatment record the jury in Plymouth is now being asked to weigh. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy told his wife's doctors she was becoming someone he didn't recognize. Lindsay Clancy was on Seroquel, he said, and it was making her ten thousand times worse. The providers treating her didn't pull back. They raised the dose. Weeks later, she killed their three children in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home. She is now standing trial in Plymouth, and neither side disputes what happened that day — only whether she was criminally responsible for it.  On this episode, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, to trace the full arc of Lindsay Clancy's care before the trial now playing out in Plymouth. Providers had allegedly documented intrusive thoughts around the same period Lindsay was describing a male voice commanding her to hurt her children — two very different clinical pictures that got treated as interchangeable. A forensic evaluation after the deaths finally produced a diagnosis, Bipolar I, that her treatment team had considered but never confirmed while it could still change the outcome.  In four months, she was put on thirteen medications — benzodiazepines, antidepressants, an antipsychotic, a sedative — with almost no coordination between the five providers involved. She called a suicide hotline and was turned away for lacking a specific plan. She waited three days inside McLean Hospital before a doctor saw her.  Shavaun lays out what a family member's warning is supposed to trigger inside a treatment team, why it so often doesn't, and what a seventeen-minute appointment can and cannot catch in a patient this far into crisis. She also weighs in on where the line falls between a missed diagnosis and a system that was never built to catch one. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Many people know the term “bipolar disorder,” but few understand what mania actually looks like, how depression presents, or why recognizing the warning signs can be so difficult. In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with ADAA (Anxiety and Depression Association of America) Member expert Bruce M. Cohen, MD, PhD. Dr. Cohen is a psychiatrist, Harvard Medical School professor, and former president and psychiatrist-in-chief of McLean Hospital. Together, they break down the realities of bipolar disorder, including the differences between bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymia. Listeners will learn: how some risk-taking behaviors could be warning signs how distinguishing bipolar from personality traits requires careful evaluation how caregivers need support and self-care to be effective They also tackle an important question: When is someone simply energetic, dramatic, or outgoing — and when could those traits point to a mental health condition? Using real-world examples and decades of clinical experience, Dr. Cohen explains how mental health professionals distinguish personality from illness. If you've ever wondered what bipolar disorder really looks like — or how to help someone who may be struggling — this episode is for you. We would like to thank McLean Hospital for providing educational support for this episode. “I've been doing this for 50 years and I've focused on psychotic disorders and bipolar disorders. [. . .] Most of them lead good lives and they're successful.” ~Bruce M. Cohen, MD, PhD Our guest, Bruce M. Cohen, MD, PhD, is the Robertson-Steele Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and President/Psychiatrist-in-Chief Emeritus at McLean Hospital. Currently, as Director of the Program for Neuropsychiatric Research at McLean/Mass General Brigham, he leads a consortium using cell culture, genomic, pharmacologic, brain imaging, and clinical studies to increase understanding and develop new treatments for psychiatric disorders. This work is particularly focused on identifying inherent factors that might be modulated to reduce the risk of illness. Convergent evidence from these studies highlights key factors underlying risk for illness, prominently including abnormalities of energy production and brain cell growth and maturation. These abnormalities affect brain development, brain remodeling during adolescence, and brain repair with age. In addition, his work has documented evidence-based dimensional approaches for diagnosing psychiatric disorders that describe each person seeking treatment more accurately and thoroughly than standard diagnostic models. Collaborating investigators work at McLean, the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, and international sites. Following undergraduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and graduate (molecular genetic) and medical studies at Case Western Reserve University, Dr. Cohen completed his residency training at McLean. He was co-founder of a Clinical Research Center, founding Director of McLean's Brain Imaging Center, and director of McLean's Residency Training Program, and a Vice President at McLean, before becoming President and Psychiatrist-in-Chief of the hospital. Under his leadership, McLean, which was struggling financially, established over 30 new programs, became financially stable and grew to treat more patients, perform more research, and teach more trainees than at any time in its distinguished history. He has taught locally, at McLean, Harvard Medical School, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as lecturing nationally and worldwide to academic and lay audiences. He has directed continuously funded translational research projects and centers for 48 years.  Dr. Cohen has over 400 publications and 5 awarded patents.  He authored one popular book for lay audiences and has chapters in 19 textbooks. He has consulted to industry and clinical centers. He has been featured in national publications as one of the best doctors in America, been named Psychiatrist of the Year twice by the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Massachusetts, and has won awards for research, teaching, and clinical care. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio.

The defense in the Lindsay Clancy case says she did everything right. She reported symptoms. She went to appointments. She took the medication. She asked for help. And the system responded with thirteen prescriptions in four months from five providers who allegedly never talked to each other.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to walk through the clinical timeline. Patrick Clancy told his wife's providers she was ten thousand times worse on Seroquel. Their response was to raise the dose. Lindsay called a suicide hotline and was told she did not qualify because she had no specific plan. She checked into McLean Hospital on New Year's Eve and waited three days before a clinician saw her.The malpractice lawsuit describes a system where each provider held a piece of the puzzle and nobody assembled it. A nurse practitioner allegedly never returned a follow-up call. A seventeen-minute virtual appointment the day before the killings ended with a dosage increase. Nobody pulled a complete medication history. Nobody identified the bipolar disorder that a forensic evaluation would later confirm.Shavaun explains what revolving-door prescribing does to someone in psychiatric crisis, why the system is structured to produce exactly this kind of failure, and the question the audience keeps asking — if she did everything they told her to do, who is actually responsible for what happened?Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott discuss the Lindsay Clancy murder trial.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every screening tool used in OB-GYN and pediatric offices across the United States is designed to catch postpartum depression. Sadness. Hopelessness. Difficulty bonding. None of them screen for postpartum psychosis — a condition that involves hallucinations, command voices, delusions, and a complete break from reality. It affects one to two women in every thousand births. And the person going through it almost never knows it is happening.Lindsay Clancy was a labor and delivery nurse who sought help from every corner of the medical system after the birth of her third child. She went to her providers. She called crisis lines. She checked herself into McLean Hospital. She was prescribed nine medications over four months. She told her doctors she was having intrusive thoughts. Her civil lawsuit alleges those were auditory hallucinations — voices she could not distinguish from reality — and that her providers treated them as anxiety without ever asking the question that would have changed the diagnosis.A forensic psychiatrist later diagnosed her with Bipolar Disorder I with postpartum onset — meaning the antidepressants her doctors prescribed may have triggered the psychotic episodes they kept failing to identify. Her husband Patrick told a friend that Lindsay seemed overmedicated and was acting like a zombie. An outside hospital flagged overmedication and misdiagnosis. According to the lawsuit, the response from her nurse practitioner never came.Tony Brueski explains the condition at the center of Lindsay Clancy's murder trial — what it is, what it is not, and what every person with a new mother in their life needs to understand.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Between September 2022 and January 2023, Lindsay Clancy was prescribed at least nine psychiatric medications by providers who diagnosed her with anxiety and depression. According to both civil lawsuits filed in her case, what she was actually experiencing was something entirely different — auditory hallucinations, command voices, and a psychiatric emergency her providers never identified.This episode explains what postpartum psychosis is and why most people — including many medical professionals — confuse it with postpartum depression. They are not the same condition. They are not on the same spectrum. Postpartum depression involves sadness, fatigue, and difficulty bonding. Postpartum psychosis involves a break from reality so complete that the person experiencing it cannot tell the difference between a hallucination and the world in front of them. It affects one to two mothers in every thousand births, and there is no standardized screening for it in routine postnatal care anywhere in the country.Lindsay was a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital. She went to her providers, called crisis lines, and admitted herself to McLean Hospital with suicidal ideation. She described what she thought were intrusive thoughts. According to a forensic psychiatric evaluation, she had undiagnosed Bipolar Disorder I — a condition where antidepressants can trigger the exact psychotic episodes her doctors kept failing to recognize. Her husband Patrick described her as acting like a zombie on her medications. An outside hospital determined she was overmedicated and misdiagnosed.Her murder trial begins with jury selection on July 20. This is what the jury — and the audience — need to understand before it starts.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For years, body image concerns and eating disorders were viewed as problems that primarily affected girls and women. But boys and men also struggle with body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, and body dysmorphia -- often in ways that go unnoticed. Roberto Olivardia, PhD, a clinical psychologist at McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School, discusses muscle dysmorphia; why body image disorders in men are frequently overlooked; how social media, the "manosphere," and trends like looksmaxxing are shaping young men's ideas about appearance and masculinity; and what parents, clinicians, and others can do to help boys and men build a healthier relationship with their bodies.

Most of what people know about Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) comes from movies and short videos, and those media portrayals often have little to do with what DID is actually like. To get the real picture, today Forrest is joined by Dr. Milissa Kaufman and Dr. Lauren Lebois, experts in dissociative disorders and trauma research. Dr. Kaufman had DID herself, went through treatment, and made a full recovery.  They explore the spectrum of dissociation, from everyday experiences to clinical presentations like DID, before talking about how DID develops as a childhood adaptation to trauma, the problem with the term “multiple personality disorder,” and what the brain science tells us. Milissa describes her own “inside people,” the shame and secrecy associated with DID, and the slow shift from "that wasn't me" to "that was me all along." They then cover what treatment looks like, what to actually look for in a therapist, and what recovery means. About our Guests: Dr. Milissa Kaufman is a trauma psychiatrist at McLean Hospital and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

While many people have heard of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) fewer know about Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT), an evidence-based therapy that is producing remarkable results for people living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with Robert P. Drozek, LICSW, a teaching associate in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and author of “Mentalization: Utilizing Reflection to Heal from Borderline Personality Disorder.” Together, they explore how mentalization—the ability to understand your own thoughts, feelings, and motivations while considering the perspectives of others—can help reduce the emotional instability, relationship challenges, impulsivity, and self-destructive behaviors often associated with borderline personality disorder. Robert explains what happens when intense emotions or fears of rejection disrupt a person's ability to accurately interpret themselves and others. He breaks down how Mentalization-Based Treatment works, what a typical therapy session looks like, and why some people who haven't connected with DBT may find MBT to be a powerful alternative. Listeners Will Learn: ·      Discover how Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) was developed and why it is evidence-based ·      Explore the key differences between MBT and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) ·      Find out what happens during a typical MBT therapy session ·      Understand how rigid certainty about yourself or others can fuel emotional suffering Whether you've been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, love someone who has, or simply want to better understand this treatable mental health condition, this conversation offers hope, practical insights, and a fresh perspective on recovery. Listen now! “When (people with borderline personality disorder) are overwhelmed by emotion, they stop reflecting. Mentalization helps them get their minds back online.” ~Robert P. Drozek, LICSW Robert P. Drozek, LICSW, is the clinical director of the Mentalization-Based Treatment Clinic at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts. He is a teaching associate in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, specializing in the treatment of borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

PPD survivor & outpatient therapist soleowellness.com When I finally sat down to write my postpartum depression story, the words just came pouring out.  -Lindsey Disch  In this latest episode,  we meet Lindsey Disch, whose journey through Post Partum Depression or PPD casts a bright light on a condition many people still don't understand. Profiled in a prominent women's magazine,  Lindsey's “A Letter to My Daughter” essay caught my heart and my attention.  https://www.pinkchairstorytellers.com/storytellers/lindsey-disch.   Back in the day, people would see a mom who felt sad after childbirth and wave her off, saying, “she's got the baby blues,” but thanks to heightened medical protocols regarding PPD, more women are getting the help they need.  For Lindsey, that meant admission to a mental hospital during the first year of her daughter Alexa's life.   In this interview, she reveals what it was like to give birth after a complicated and unexpected pregnancy and shares the story of how ashamed and overwhelmed she was in the weeks following her daughter's birth.  “I just didn't care about anything anymore. All I wanted to do was lay in bed, and I thought this horrible feeling would never end.” It was during this time that her husband found her crying in the closet.  A certified mental health clinician herself, Lindsey knew there was something wrong with her.  She sought counseling and was prescribed medication, but nothing worked.  A trip to the ER resulted in Lindsey being admitted as an inpatient at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts (mcleanhospital.org).   Nationally recognized as the #1 psychiatric care facility in the nation, Lindsey followed the advice of her care team and received 30 rounds of ECT or Electroconvulsive Therapy.  Administered under anesthesia, ECT treatment sends small electric currents through the brain, changing its chemistry, often improving symptoms of certain mental health conditions, including severe depression. However, this treatment has side effects, including difficulty with thinking, word retrieval, and memory loss. Lindsey experienced all of them.  Thriving now and back at work as an outpatient therapist at soleowellness.com in her hometown of Duxbury, Massachusetts, Lindsey lives by the wisdom her father taught her:  “the biggest challenges can present the biggest opportunities.” She is completely bonded with her daughter and is now sharing her expertise with other women experiencing depression after childbirth.   Says Lindsey:  “I want women to know that there is no shame in asking for help, and you will not recover if you try to do it alone. “ When I asked her if she'd do those treatments all over again, Lindsey replied without hesitation:  “1000%.  I'm a total badass now.  Throw something at me?  I got it.   This is my life, and I'm so lucky to be here.”  #postpartumdepression #womeninspiringwomen #thestorybehindhersuccess #mentalhealth

Have you ever had a friend not text you back, and you're certain that they're mad at you? This is often a disruption in the process of mentalization: the ability to recognize that our thoughts and feelings might not be facts. Mentalization is a process we can all struggle with, but it's particularly important for people who have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). In this episode, Forrest is joined by psychotherapist and author Robert Drozek to discuss mentalization-based treatment (MBT) and the tools that can help us develop more flexibility and curiosity around our assumptions. Bob outlines the three common modes of mentalizing, explains how childhood experiences shape mentalization, and offers a map for building healthier ways of relating to our thoughts and feelings.  About our Guest: Robert Drozak is a clinical social worker, the clinical director of the Mentalization-Based Treatment Clinic at McLean Hospital, and a teaching associate in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

Cannabis is widely known as a recreational drug, illegal in some states and legal in others. But what do you know about cannabis-based therapies, often referred to as medical marijuana? For well over a century, compounds extracted from the marijuana plant, of which there are more than 500, have been used therapeutically for a range of medical applications, from treating anxiety to addressing pain. So where are all the clinical trials, and why are doctors still unable to prescribe medical cannabis? Dr. Staci Gruber, director of the Marijuana Investigations for Neuroscientific Discovery at McLean Hospital and associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, joins USA TODAY's The Excerpt to discuss the current state of medical cannabis and CBD research.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.

The Lindsay Clancy case now operates on two legal tracks that directly contradict each other — and the collision between them will define her July 2026 trial. In January 2026, both Lindsay and her husband Patrick filed separate civil lawsuits in Norfolk Superior Court alleging medical malpractice by her psychiatric providers. Those lawsuits describe a woman in severe psychiatric crisis who sought help repeatedly and received what they characterize as a disorganized, uncoordinated course of polypharmacy that exacerbated her condition. The prosecution, meanwhile, is citing one of those providers' assessments — a December 2022 finding at Women & Infants Hospital that ruled out postpartum depression and bipolar disorder — as evidence that Lindsay was not mentally impaired at the time of the killings.This week's look back at the most consequential legal and medical developments examines the evidentiary foundation for both positions. According to the civil complaints, Lindsay Clancy's postpartum symptoms escalated across three pregnancies. Expert analysis by Columbia University psychiatry professor Dr. Margaret Spinelli, cited in Lindsay's lawsuit, concluded that bipolar symptoms first emerged after the birth of her second child and went undiagnosed. After her third child's birth in May 2022, approximately thirteen medications were prescribed in roughly four months. The lawsuits allege providers failed to coordinate care, conducted appointments via video that were too short to adequately assess her condition, and failed to involve family members despite clear warning signs.The December 2022 Women & Infants assessment — which the lawsuit attributes to an inadequate patient history — ruled out the diagnoses that Lindsay's defense now relies upon. The prosecution is treating that assessment as dispositive. The defense will argue it was negligent. The same medical record is simultaneously the foundation of a malpractice claim and the prosecution's key evidence of mental competence.Lindsay was admitted to McLean Hospital on New Year's Eve 2022. She reportedly waited three days to see a doctor and was discharged after five. Hallucinations returned eleven days later. Her final appointment — approximately 17 minutes on a video screen on January 23rd — ended with a dosage increase. She faces three counts of first-degree murder. Her insanity defense goes to trial in July. A judge recently denied her motion to bifurcate the proceedings.Postpartum psychosis is not included in the DSM.

The numbers in this case tell a story the medical system apparently couldn't read while it was unfolding. Approximately thirteen medications prescribed in roughly four months. A psychiatric appointment lasting approximately 17 minutes on a video screen the day before three children died. A dosage increase at the end of that call. And a woman who had been asking for help — using the clinical vocabulary of her own profession — at every stop along the way.This week we look back at the most critical chapters in the Lindsay Clancy case. Before January 24th, 2023, Lindsay Clancy was a labor and delivery nurse who recognized what was happening to her and sought treatment repeatedly. According to the civil lawsuits filed by both Lindsay and her husband Patrick in January 2026, her postpartum symptoms escalated across three pregnancies. Anxiety after Cora. Bipolar symptoms that, according to expert analysis cited in the lawsuit — from Columbia University psychiatry professor Dr. Margaret Spinelli — first emerged after Dawson's birth and went undiagnosed. Then Callan arrived in May 2022, and her family said she became a different person entirely.The medical timeline documented in the lawsuits is devastating. In December 2022, Lindsay admitted herself to a day program at Women & Infants Hospital in Rhode Island, where she reported being deeply depressed and numb to all emotion. A doctor there ruled out postpartum depression and bipolar disorder — a conclusion the lawsuit attributes to an inadequate patient history. That assessment is now central to the prosecution's first-degree murder case. On New Year's Eve, she was admitted to McLean Hospital's locked unit. She reportedly waited three days to see a doctor. She was discharged after five days. Eleven days later, auditory hallucinations returned — a voice telling her she would never be the same and the only option was to die.Both civil lawsuits describe the care Lindsay received as a disorganized, uncoordinated course of polypharmacy — brief virtual appointments that failed to capture the severity of her condition, a failure to coordinate among providers, and a failure to involve the family members who were watching her deteriorate in real time.Lindsay faces three counts of first-degree murder. Her trial is scheduled for July 2026. A judge recently denied her request for a bifurcated trial. Postpartum psychosis remains absent from the DSM.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A labor and delivery nurse who knew the language of her own crisis. A medical system that, according to civil lawsuits now filed in the case, prescribed approximately thirteen medications in roughly four months without coordinating care, without adequately assessing her history, and without involving the family watching her disappear. And a prosecution that is now using one of those allegedly inadequate assessments as evidence that she wasn't mentally ill.This week's review of the most significant stories examines the two chapters of the Lindsay Clancy case that reframe everything that came after. Before January 24th, 2023, Lindsay Clancy was a patient who did what patients are supposed to do. She sought help. She showed up. She tracked her own symptoms. According to the civil lawsuits filed in January 2026, her postpartum mental health deteriorated across three pregnancies — anxiety after Cora, undiagnosed bipolar symptoms after Dawson according to expert analysis by Columbia University psychiatry professor Dr. Margaret Spinelli, and a dramatic change after Callan's birth in May 2022 that her family described as a total transformation.The medical timeline raises questions the criminal case will have to answer. A December 2022 admission to Women & Infants Hospital resulted in a finding of no postpartum depression and a rule-out of bipolar disorder — based on what the lawsuit describes as an inadequate patient history. That finding is now central to the prosecution's argument that Lindsay was not impaired. A New Year's Eve admission to McLean Hospital, where she reportedly waited three days to see a doctor and was discharged after five. Eleven days later, auditory hallucinations returned. Virtual appointments the lawsuit describes as too short to assess her condition. And on January 23rd — a 17-minute video appointment ending with a dosage increase. Less than 24 hours later, Cora, Dawson, and Callan were dead.Both Lindsay and Patrick Clancy have filed separate civil lawsuits against the named providers. Lindsay faces three counts of first-degree murder. Her defense will argue she was legally insane. Trial is set for July 2026. A judge recently denied her request for a bifurcated proceeding.Postpartum psychosis occurs at an estimated rate of one to two in a thousand births — comparable to Down syndrome and cerebral palsy. It is not in the DSM. That absence shapes everything — diagnosis, treatment, and what a jury is asked to believe.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In January 2026, two civil lawsuits were filed against the medical providers who treated Lindsay Clancy in the months before January 24th, 2023. One by Lindsay. One by her husband Patrick. Both point at the same failures. Both describe the same chain of alleged negligence.Part 3 of the Lindsay Clancy five-part series covers the complete medical timeline: the Women & Infants Hospital assessment that allegedly produced a misdiagnosis without adequate patient history — now used by the prosecution as a cornerstone of its case. The McLean Hospital admission where Lindsay reportedly waited three days to see a doctor before being discharged after five. The return of auditory hallucinations in mid-January. The day-before appointment: virtual, approximately 17 minutes, dose increased.Thirteen medications in roughly four months. Multiple providers who allegedly never coordinated care. Appointments too brief to assess a patient in full psychiatric crisis. And structurally: a postpartum condition serious enough to cause infanticide that still has no standalone entry in the DSM. The providers named in the lawsuits have declined to comment on the pending litigation. The criminal trial is scheduled for July 2026.

She told them she was "messed up beyond repair." She said she felt numb to all emotion. She tested at the most severe levels for depression and anxiety. She kept going back.The machine kept processing her and sending her home.Part 3 of our five-part series follows the full medical trail — from May 2022 to the 17-minute virtual appointment the day before the killings — and documents, provider by provider, the failures that both Lindsay and Patrick allege in civil lawsuits filed in January 2026.A Women & Infants assessment that allegedly produced the wrong conclusion without adequate patient history — now a cornerstone of the prosecution's case. A McLean Hospital admission where she reportedly waited three days to see a doctor and was discharged after five. Thirteen medications in roughly four months.

On January 24th, 2023, Patrick Clancy came home to find his wife injured and his three children dead in the basement of their Duxbury, Massachusetts home. Lindsay Clancy — a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital — is charged with the murders of Cora, five; Dawson, three; and Callan, eight months old. She has pleaded not guilty. Her trial begins July 20th, 2026.The defense says Lindsay spent months before that night desperately seeking help for a postpartum mental health crisis that was being managed with thirteen different medications across multiple providers who weren't coordinating her care. She called a crisis line. She checked into McLean Hospital. She told her husband and her mother she was having thoughts of harming the kids. Her husband called her doctors himself, told them it was urgent. Days later, her dose was raised.Prosecutors say she planned the murders — that phone searches for methods of killing, a calculated timeline for her husband's absence, and the deliberate nature of the attacks point to premeditation, not psychosis. Their expert says the medications in her system could not have caused the break the defense describes.The insanity defense is being prepared. A prosecution psychiatric evaluation is scheduled for April 10th. Her attorney has told the court she remains at daily risk of suicide. Patrick Clancy — who publicly forgave his wife and has said he was married to someone who got sick, not a monster — has had his New Yorker interview subpoenaed by the prosecution.Tony Brueski on True Crime Today lays out both sides of this case with the full context it deserves.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Patrick Clancy came home on January 24th, 2023, his wife was in the backyard, seriously injured. She told him she had tried to kill herself. He asked where the children were. She said the basement. What he found down those stairs broke every assumption anyone had about this story.Five days later, Patrick asked the world to forgive Lindsay. As he already had.Lindsay Clancy was a Duxbury, Massachusetts mother of three and a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital. After the birth of her youngest child, she spent months fighting for her mental health — seeing psychiatrists, visiting ERs, calling crisis lines, checking herself into McLean Hospital. Her husband called her doctors himself and said it was urgent. They were told to keep taking the medications. By January 2023, the defense says she had thirteen different prescriptions from multiple providers in four months with no meaningful coordination between them. The day before everything happened, her doctor raised her dose after a seventeen-minute virtual call.Prosecutors say she planned the murders. That she searched methods of killing. That she calculated her husband's absence and acted with premeditation. That argument goes before a jury on July 20th, 2026.Lindsay has pleaded not guilty. Her defense is lack of criminal responsibility — postpartum psychosis. The prosecution's psychiatric evaluation is set for April 10th. Her attorney has told the court she remains at serious risk of suicide.Patrick has moved to Manhattan. He told The New Yorker he was married to someone who got sick — and prosecutors have subpoenaed the tape.Hidden Killers tells the full story.

In this episode of Do Good to Lead Well, I welcome Dr. Jacqueline Sperling, a clinical psychologist, assistant professor in psychology at Harvard Medical School, and the co-founder and co-program director of the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program at McLean Hospital to discuss her latest book, “Find Your Fierce: How to Put Social Anxiety in Its Place.”Motivated by long waitlists at treatment centers and the slow path many face toward accessing help for social anxiety, Jacqueline Sperling shares her mission: to offer practical, evidence-based tools that anyone can use, regardless of clinical diagnosis or age. She grounds her message in empowerment, emphasizing that anxiety is a universal emotion—sometimes adaptive, sometimes disruptive—but always manageable with the right approach.Major themes include: • Understanding Anxiety: Dr. Sperling defines anxiety as a forward-looking form of fear and reframes it as a resource that can help us prepare for life's challenges, provided we don't let it dominate our decision-making. • The Thoughts-Feelings-Behaviors Model: Our discussion breaks down how our internal dialogue, emotions, and actions interconnect. Techniques like “stop, drop, and roll” and identification of unhelpful thought categories (catastrophizing, shoulds, overgeneralizing) are brought to life through questions from the live audience. • Leadership and Team Dynamics: We explore how leaders can compassionately address anxiety in their teams, foster psychological safety, and model healthy boundaries, which are especially during disruptive times and organizational uncertainty.Check out this episode for an honest, caring invitation for how we can create lasting mental health hygiene: a daily, mindful practice to care for ourselves, as we pursue meaningful work and lead with compassion.What You'll Learn- How to flip the script when you always expect the worst.- How leaders can compassionately support team members stuck in negative thought cycles.- Strategies for dealing with imposter syndrome and perfectionism.- Practical tips for receiving feedback without defensiveness.- Ways to maintain resilience in uncertain, disruptive times.- The power of mental health hygiene.Podcast Timestamps02:15 Dr. Jacqueline Sperling's background04:07 Origin story of "Find Your Fierce" book05:48 Understanding anxiety vs. fear07:49 The three-component model (thoughts, feelings, behaviors)10:04 Stop, drop, and roll technique14:23 Managing catastrophizing in team members18:54 Addressing imposter syndrome23:01 Overcoming fear of speaking up in meetings28:08 Values-based anxiety management31:53 The "shoulds" and "musts" trap33:51 Receiving feedback effectively38:03 Managing team anxiety during disruption40:06 Addressing perfectionism44:40 Delegation and leadership anxiety48:33 Overgeneralizing dangers52:07 Mental health hygiene practicesKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Managing Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Thought-Feeling-Behavior Model, Catastrophizing, Mindfulness, Imposter Syndrome, Perfectionism, Exposure Therapy, Behavioral Experiments, Self-insight, Mental Health Hygiene, Resilience, Stress Management, Reframing, Team Dynamics, Sleep Hygiene, Self-care, CEO Success

Meredith Elkins, PhD is a clinical psychologist who specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders in children and families. She is also the co-program director at the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program at McLean Hospital. She has just published Parenting Anxiety: Breaking The Cycle of Worry & Raising Resilient Kids. Her book provides a comprehensive foundation for parents to help themselves and their children who are struggling with anxiety. In our discussion, Dr Elkin points out the importance in distinguishing between the everyday usage of anxiety and the more clinical use of the term. She also talks about the current parenting culture of "intensive parenting" can inadverently predispose children towards anxiety. As a true expert of the treatment of anxiety disorders both in the interview and in her book, she offers such practical advise for parents and clinicians.  For more information about Dr Elkin https://www.meredithelkinsphd.com  

Distinguishing between ADHD and anxiety can feel a bit like trying to figure out if you're sneezing because of a cold or because your neighbor just started mowing their lawn - or maybe it's a bit of both, the symptoms look the same, but the solution is very different. This week, I'm talking with Dr. Mona Potter, a Harvard-trained, board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist and the Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of InStride Health. Dr. Potter spent years at McLean Hospital pioneering treatments for anxiety and OCD, and has a unique perspective on how we can manage the specific brand of exhaustion that comes with being neurodivergent in a world that never stops moving. Today, we're exploring the bio psycho social model—which is just a fancy way of saying we're looking at your sleep, your stress, and your chemistry all at once. We discuss the "optimal zone" of anxiety and how it can actually mask ADHD symptoms until you find a treatment that works, the difference between a "crutch" and a tool, and why parents (and adults) should stop trying to be the "external executive function" for everyone around them. We also take a deep dive into the specific mechanics of OCD and why the structure that saves an ADHDer might actually feed an obsessive loop. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/269 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips To tell ADHD and anxiety apart, look at what's pulling your focus. ADHD distractions are often external (the world "tapping you on the shoulder"), while anxiety distractions are typically internal (a "side commentary" of what could go wrong). Remember that medication can turn down the biological "volume" of symptoms, but it doesn't build skills or "brain muscles." Use the quiet provided by medication as a window to practice the executive function habits you need. While structure and rituals are helpful for ADHD, they can feed OCD. If you have both, you must learn to sit with the distress of not performing a ritual (Exposure and Response Prevention) rather than making things "seamless".  

A new beverage has been showing up in bars and on store shelves: the cannabis cocktail, a hemp-derived drink that contains CBD and oftentimes THC as well. They're marketed as providing a buzz without the downside of a hangover. But are there drawbacks? And could these drinks ever replace alcohol? Staci Gruber, director of marijuana investigations for the Neuroscientific Discovery program at McLean Hospital and associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School joins The Excerpt to answer these and other questions about this new trend.

I sit down with Dr. David Rosmarin, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and a pioneer bridging the worlds of spirituality and clinical psychology. We explore a powerful, yet often ignored, truth in mental health: that for many, emotional distress is a crisis of meaning and spirit. David shares the fascinating research from his work at McLean Hospital, and we tackle the tough questions—are we over-medicalizing normal human anxiety?

I am thrilled to have Dr. Olivera Bogunovic and Holly Hardman with me on the show today. Dr. Bogunovic is an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the medical director of the alcohol, drug, and addiction outpatient program at McLean Hospital. and Holly directed the documentary As Prescribed. In today's discussion, we dive into the ongoing benzodiazepine crisis in the United States, with over 92 million prescriptions written each year for medications like Ativan, Valium, Xanax, and Klonopin. We discuss the origin of those drugs in the 1970s as treatments for anxiety and how they lead to tremendous physical dependency. Holly shares her experience with the neurological effects she suffered after long-term use of Klonopin, and we examine challenges in psychiatric care, the need for informed consent, and the impact of social media. We also cover the role of lifestyle, the need for psychotherapy and psychosocial support, and the significance of hope. This conversation is truly invaluable! Given how frequently benzodiazepines get prescribed, everyone must understand their associated risks and considerations. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: How prescribing practices have evolved over the last two decades The significant consequences older adults face when they suddenly stop using benzodiazepines  Holly shares how doctors misinformed her when she began taking Klonopin.  Holly describes the benzodiazepine-induced symptoms and cognitive issues she experienced Why people must get informed about the long-term effects of benzodiazepines when consenting to take them How benzodiazepines work in the body and impact the brain Why benzodiazepines are ineffective when used long-term for insomnia The challenges certain people face when accessing psychiatric care What is BIND, and what are its symptoms? The significance of diet and holistic approaches for managing mental health, and why community support is essential in the recovery process Why As Prescribed is an educational documentary for everyone Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠LinkedIn⁠ Check out Cynthia's ⁠website⁠ Submit your questions to ⁠support@cynthiathurlow.com⁠ Connect with Dr. Olivera Bogunovic ⁠The McLean Hospital⁠  The documentary, As Prescribed, is available in the United States and Canada on Prime Video, Apple, Kanopy, Tubi, and Google.

Many psychiatric labels—like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia—can obscure underlying biology, and symptom checklists often fail to explain or heal what's really going on. Emerging evidence reframes mental illness as a problem of brain energy, mitochondria, and inflammation—shaped by insulin signaling, circadian rhythm disruption, the gut–brain axis, toxins, infections, and nutrient status. Metabolic interventions such as ketogenic nutrition, already established for epilepsy, show promise for rebalancing neurotransmitters, lowering neuroinflammation, and improving overall brain function. With depression now a leading cause of disability, shifting from “manage the symptoms” to “fix the biology” could dramatically improve outcomes where standard drugs fall short. In this episode, Dr. Christopher Palmer, Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Iain Campbell and I explore how rethinking mental illness as a metabolic and inflammatory disorder of the brain—rather than just a chemical imbalance—could transform the treatment and prevention of conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Dr. Chris Palmer is a psychiatrist and researcher working at the interface of metabolism and mental health. He is the Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. For over 25 years, he has held leadership roles in psychiatric education, conducted research, and worked with people who have treatment-resistant mental illnesses. He has been pioneering the use of the medical ketogenic diet in the treatment of psychiatric disorders - conducting research in this area, treating patients, writing, and speaking around the world on this topic. More broadly, he is interested in the roles of metabolism and metabolic interventions on brain health. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine's focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders.  Dr. lain Campbell is the first academic research fellow to specialise in Metabolic Psychiatry as the Baszucki Research Fellow in Metabolic Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh. He has a PhD in Global Health from the University of Edinburgh and is a principal investigator on a pilot trial of a ketogenic diet for bipolar disorder. He is a workstream lead and co-investigator on the first publicly funded research hub for Metabolic Psychiatry, the UKRI Medical Research Council Hub for Metabolic Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh. His research in metabolic psychiatry has been published in Nature press journals Molecular Psychiatry and Translational Psychiatry and presented at Mayo Clinic Grand Rounds and The Royal College of Psychiatrists International Congress.  This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.
