In Case Number CR01-24-31665, defendant Bryan C. Kohberger has filed a reply to the State's response regarding his motion to strike the death penalty due to his diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The defense asserts that Kohberger's ASD results in significant impairments in communication, reasoning, social skills, and understanding others' reactions—factors that, according to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Atkins v. Virginia, diminish moral culpability and render the death penalty unconstitutional for individuals with such disabilities. They emphasize that these deficits have been present since early childhood and persist into adulthood, affecting Kohberger's adaptive functioning despite his high intelligence quotient (IQ). The defense references the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), noting that individuals with ASD may exhibit a substantial gap between intellectual abilities and adaptive functioning, leading to challenges in daily living, self-care, socialization, and communication. ​to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ty ABecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Have you ever been told that your child cannot recover from autism? Yeah, me too. Yet today, my son is no longer diagnosable with the symptoms of autism he once had. Sometimes, instead of getting excited when they hear this, a parent will get defensive, as though someone is trying to change ‘who' their child is. Autism is not a ‘who'. It's a ‘what'. WHAT IS AUTISM? The correct term is “Autism Spectrum Disorder” (ASD). It refers to a range of neurodevelopmental conditions collectively characterized by similar traits, like challenges with social skills, communication, and repetitive behaviors.  Autism is defined as the autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, because the symptoms range in severity. If you are new to all of this or reading about autism for a friend or loved one, let's begin with the basics. Generally, the symptoms of autism refer to a difficulty processing emotions and a heightened sensitivity to external stimuli. No two people with autism have the same exact symptoms. It's an extended spectrum with one end being those who are higher functioning and the other being very low functioning. The meaning behind “functioning” depends on their ability to navigate life.  Some symptoms simply make life more challenging. You may have also heard the term “Aspergers Syndrome.” This term was first described in 1944 by Austrian physician Hans Asperger.  In 2013, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–5) removed the term Aspergers and placed this diagnosis under the umbrella of autism spectrum disorders...

Are traditional mental health diagnoses missing the bigger picture? How can a new model help us better understand and treat mental disorders? What does recent research say about how we categorize psychopathology in youth?  In this episode, APS's Özge Gürcanlı Fischer Baum interviews Miri Forbes of Macquarie University. Together, they address how traditional models like the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) categorize mental health disorders and explore Forbes' recent study published in Clinical Psychological Science highlighting the more nuanced and dimensional approach that the emerging Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) offers. The strengths and shortcomings of these systems, challenges of diagnosis, and evolving landscape of mental health research are discussed.    If you're interested in learning more about this research, visit psychologicalscience.org.    Send us your thoughts and questions at  underthecortex@psychologicalscience.org

Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION. Follow us on YouTube at ⁠www.youtube.com/@IASCompanion⁠. Today, we will explore the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) with a focus on two major categories: psychotic and neurotic disorders. Psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia and delusional disorders, involve a detachment from reality, leading to significant disturbances in thought, behavior, and emotion. Schizophrenia, characterized by delusions, hallucinations, and cognitive disorganization, will be examined alongside its types, causes, and treatment options. Neurotic disorders, or anxiety disorders, involve persistent yet milder psychological symptoms, with individuals remaining in touch with reality. We'll also delve into personality and mood disorders, such as borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder, exploring their symptoms, causes, and treatment approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication. Understanding these mental health conditions is essential for diagnosing and improving patient outcomes. #UPSC #IASprep #civilserviceexam #IASexamination #IASaspirants #UPSCjourney #IASexam #civilservice #IASgoals #UPSC2024 #IAS2024 #civilservant #IAScoaching #aUPSCmotivation #IASmotivation #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAS #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity

Legalization of Selling Your Baby? On June 12, the Massachusetts House voted on a bill that aims to redefine parenthood and legalize the practice of baby-selling under the guise of “parentage equality.” Parentage Equality Bill: The bill seeks to redefine parenthood based on a “person's intent to be a parent of a child.” It removes all mention of mothers and fathers from parentage law, replacing them with gender-erased language.. Commercial surrogacy would be allowed, even when the woman carrying the child is genetically unrelated to the child. Baby-Selling: The bill enables extreme arrangements: A woman could accept money for her biological child. She could essentially auction off her child by matching with the highest bidder. While this is legal under the bill, a woman who adopts her child and accepts payment would be prosecuted for baby selling. The differences between these scenarios are semantic, yet one is praised as "compassionate family building. Could we See human Trafficking Baby Factories like John of God Pushed by Oprah? Natural News: Fast-forward to 2019 and hundreds of women have come forward with claims that John of God raped them. The "faith healer" is also being accused of recruiting young girls to his many "child slave farms," where they were repeatedly impregnated as part of a "birth factory," before eventually being killed off and discarded. Push for Defiling your Kids – Gateway for Pedos Source: LifeSiteNews) — The United Nations (U.N.) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are working to normalize pedophilia globally, according to Dutch author and journalist David Sorensen. “I've worked for several months now on gathering evidence that shows undeniably, conclusively that the United Nations and the World Health Organization and other organizations like Planned Parenthood and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation […] are working all over the world to completely take over the education in kindergartens and elementary schools,” Sorensen said on the Truth for Health podcast, hosted by Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet. These organizations not only want to “sexualize little children” but also “to tear down their natural defense systems so that they would completely be open for sexual predators anywhere, everywhere.” “They literally say every child is a sexual being from the age of zero, that they are a sexual being regardless of age,” he continued. “And that's so having sex is their human right. Therefore, every child needs to have sexual partners and has to be guided by the schools to engage in sexual relationships from the youngest age possible.” The Rutgers Foundation: A global network for pedophilia? Sorensen told the story of the Dutch Rutgers Foundation, which “operates in 27 nations in the world” to teach “sexual education,” and whose founder had “regular sex trips to Asia where he systematically abused children, Asian sex slaves.” He furthermore “published a magazine that was promoting pedophilia,” Sorensen said. The Rutgers Foundation is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and is closely connected to the WHO, the U.N., and Planned Parenthood. Rutgers' recent sex-ed curriculum, Spring Fever, “aggressively pushes the theme of homosexuality onto unsuspecting and vulnerable children,” Sorensen wrote in his exposé. He provides images from comics included in the curriculum that communicate to children that it is okay to have sex with other children, as long as it is “consensual” and they are at least 9 years old. A children's book “recommended by Rutgers for use in elementary schools” teaches children about oral sexual behavior, according to photos provided by Sorensen. Making Pedo's Acceptable like the Homosexual Playbook from Mental Illness to love The APA then compromised, removing homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) but replacing it, in effect, with ‘sexual orientation disturbance' for those people ‘in conflict with' their sexual orientation. Not until 1987 did homosexuality completely fall out of the DSM. Sodom and USA Genesis 18 20And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; Genesis 19 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, ‘Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Homework – Read 2 Corinthians 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Dr. Eric Maisel discussed the profound and often contentious issues surrounding mental health, religion, psychiatry, and the nature of human consciousness. Dr. Maisel, a prolific author and critical thinker, shares his insights on the pathologization of everyday struggles, the impact of psychiatric diagnoses, and the importance of reclaiming personal meaning and resilience. Dr. Eric Maisel is a psychotherapist, coach, teacher and author of more than 50 books that include “ Rethinking Depression: How to shed mental health labels and create personal meaning” published in 2012 , “The Future of Mental Health: Deconstructing the Mental Disorder Paradigm in 2015 and his most recent book “Redesign Your Mind” published in 2021. His contributions are diverse and vast. A lifelong atheist, Maisel described in his 2009 book The Atheist's Way: Living Well Without Gods how individuals can negotiate the paradigm shift from seeking meaning (in religion, spiritual pursuits, or anywhere else) to making meaning. Eric expresses his reservations about fully embracing higher states of consciousness and discusses the complexities of love and its potential dangers. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the history and criticisms of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and the medicalization of mental health. In this conversation, Dr. Roger McFillin and Dr. Eric Maisel discuss the current state of the mental health system and its impact on individuals and society. They explore the role of psychiatry in controlling and labeling individuals, the importance of embracing darkness and suffering as part of the human experience, and the need for individual and collective resistance against harmful systems. 00:00 Introduction: The Medicalization of Human Experience04:06 Guest Introduction: Dr. Eric Maisel's Background and Interests09:21 Early Experiences and Observations12:18 Personal Story: Dr. Maisel's Father14:48 Exploring the Notion of God and Meaning17:53 Observing Human Behavior and Values20:10 The Significance of Synchronicities26:23The Concept of the Soul and Unexplainable Phenomena31:07 Determining What is Right and Wrong34:34 Reflections on Meditation and Seeking Explanations37:00 Exploring Higher States of Consciousness and Love44:28 Critiques of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders56:07 The Medicalization of Mental Health01:04:35 The Role of Psychiatry in Social Control01:08:18 Resistance Against Harmful Systems01:18:47 The Future of Mental Health: Individual Efforts and Peaceful Activism*If you are in crisis or believe you have an emergency, please contact your doctor or dial 911.

BMHR S4 12: ASSASSINATION OF CHARACTERS AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR US FATE WOULD BRING FORMER PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR ELECTION 2024, DONALD TRUMP TOGETHER WITH THOMAS MATTHEW CROOKS. IRONICALLY THINGS WOULD NOT GO AS PLANNED FOR EITHER CHARACTER. POLITICS AND MARTYRDOM WOULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE EVENTS OF JULY 13, 2024 AND BEYOND FOR THE UNITED STATES AND GLOBALLY —OR SO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CONTEMPLATED. WHILE AN ANALYSIS OF FACTS IN THIS MATTER ARE VEILED IN AMBIGUITY AND UNCERTAINTY, IT IS CLEAR THAT THE UNITED STARES HISTORY WILL FOREVER BE EPIC. THE DISCUSSION IS INTERNALIZED ON THE MENTAL SELF AND THE COLLECTIVE SELF DETERMINATION OF BLACK AMERICANS. HOME WORK: What is the spirit of grandiose? The “spirit of grandiose” generally refers to a mindset or attitude characterized by an exaggerated sense of one's own importance, power, or abilities. This term is often associated with grandiosity, which is a psychological condition involving a delusional belief in one's superiority and greatness. Summary: The podcast episode description effectively combines elements of political drama, historical significance, and psychological analysis. It promises to explore the unexpected events involving Donald Trump and Thomas Matthew Crooks, while deeply examining their impact on the mental health and collective self-determination of Black Americans. The mention of grandiosity further hints at a psychological exploration of the characters and their motivations. Key Characteristics 1. Exaggerated Self-Importance: • Individuals with a spirit of grandiose tend to have an inflated view of their own significance. They believe they are more important than others and often expect special treatment. 2. Overestimation of Abilities: • These individuals may overestimate their skills, talents, and achievements. They may take credit for successes and abilities they do not actually possess. 3. Need for Admiration: • There is often a strong desire for admiration and recognition from others. They seek constant validation and praise to reinforce their self-image. 4. Lack of Empathy: • People exhibiting grandiosity often have difficulty understanding or caring about the feelings and needs of others. Their focus is primarily on themselves and their own interests. 5. Fantasy and Preoccupation: • They may indulge in fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love. This preoccupation with grandiose fantasies can disconnect them from reality. Psychological Context Grandiosity is a symptom often associated with certain psychological disorders, including: • Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD): Individuals with NPD exhibit patterns of grandiosity, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. • Bipolar Disorder: During manic episodes, individuals with bipolar disorder may display grandiose thoughts and behaviors. Cultural and Historical Context In a broader cultural and historical context, the spirit of grandiose can be seen in historical figures who exhibited ambitious, often reckless, behavior driven by an inflated sense of self. This can be observed in various leaders, celebrities, and influential personalities throughout history who demonstrated larger-than-life personas and actions. Conclusion The spirit of grandiose reflects an attitude marked by an inflated sense of self-importance and a craving for admiration. It is important to differentiate between healthy self-confidence and grandiosity, which can be detrimental both to the individual and to their relationships with others. For further reading, you may refer to resources on narcissistic personality disorder and psychological studies on grandiosity, such as those found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).

Reflecting on the biblical story of the man at the pool of Bethesda, I encourage you to ask yourself if you truly want to heal and take those necessary steps toward well-being. Embrace the beauty in everyday moments, create lasting memories, and recognize the everyday miracles that affirm your worth and presence.Is It PTSD? Wednesdays With Watson Wednesdays With Watson "Look For Miracles" by JJ Heller (3:29) Youtube Creator / Podcaster No client or brand/company work Standard Coverage - Web / Social Media (Up to 1 million subscribers), Podcast (Up to 10k monthly downloads) Included June 14, 2024 Amy Watson This License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legal contract between you ("End User" or "Licensee") and The Music Bed, LLC ("Musicbed" or "Licensor"), a Texas limited liability company with its principal office located in Tarrant County, Texas, for the purpose of Licensee's use of certain rights in and to musical compositions and sound recordings (termed "Recordings" hereafter).

The number of labels to describe different types of mental disorder has mushroomed in recent years. New categories include Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Prolonged Grief Disorder and Mild Cognitive Impairment. Many classifications have been created or influenced by a book called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Advocates of DSM say labels help people take ownership of their situation, provide them with answers, treatments and social support. Critics think it creates stigma, medicalises normality and leads to a glut of unnecessary and harmful drug prescriptions. UK based musician Jay Emme asks if labels help or hinders in everyday life and whether it's time to drop the terms ‘mental' and ‘disorder'?

On the MIA podcast this week we turn our attention to conflicts of interest (COIs) and new research from the British Medical Journal (BMJ). Mad in America has previously examined the problems with conflicts of interest in research but this time we extend that to look at the potential effect of COIs on diagnostic tools such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Joining me today are Lisa Cosgrove and Brian Piper, two of the authors of a paper which appeared in the BMJ. The paper is entitled “Undisclosed Financial Conflicts of Interest in the DSM-5 TR: Cross-Sectional Analysis,” and it was published in January 2024. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Friend of Trace - John Rosemond John Rosemond has worked with families, children, and parents since 1971 in the field of psychology. In 1971 he earned his masters in psychology from Western Illinois University, and is licensed in North Carolina.  During his career he has directed several mental health programs for children. For the last 30 years or so, John devotes his time to speaking and writing. John is syndicated in well over 225 newspapers nationwide. He has written over eighteen best-selling parenting books, and travels to speak all over the country sharing his parenting experience and humor with so many others. He resides in North Carolina with his wife of over 50 years, Wilma, a.k.a. "Willy."  He is also the founder of ParentGuru, where he helps parents to raise responsible adults. Help for Parents from the ParentGuru  Trace Embry, Michelle Hill, and psychologist John Rosemond discuss John's latest book, "The Bible Parenting Code: Revealing God's Perfect Plan for Parenting."  John shares an amusing personal experience of raising his son using modern psychological methods, which resulted in his son being the worst behaved child his teacher had seen in 20 years. After this revelation, John and his wife Willy decided to raise their children the way they were raised, which led to a significant improvement in their son's behavior and academic performance. John Rosemond is a critic of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and refers to it as a book of bogus diagnoses.  He emphasizes the importance of relying on God's perfect parenting plan as outlined in the Bible. He also discusses the congruence between Scripture and recent astrophysical facts as a way to affirm the truthfulness of Scripture. Episode Highlights: Why does John call his wife of 50 years "Willy?" Learn how John & Willy dealt with their worst behaved child. What does John say about children's feelings? Is modern psychology all it's cracked up to be? John's contrast of astrophysics and Scripture. Image from Canva

In 2013, the 5th edition of the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) was released, and for the first time it included Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Disorder as a Condition for Further Study. It is not an actual diagnosis at this time, but there are  currently six criteria listed (see below, bottom of page). In this episode, Dr. Greg Lengel from Drake University in Iowa walks us through what research says about each of the six criteria, and he discusses the pros and cons of formalizing NSSI Disorder as a diagnosis.Listen to his interview with Dr. Brooke Ammerman from Season 3 ("How Should Self-Harm Be Defined?") here.

In the last year, the individual has, on 5 or more days, engaged in intentional self-inflicted damage to the surface of his or her body of a sort likely to induce bleeding, bruising, or pain (e.g., cutting, burning, stabbing, hitting, excessive rubbing), with the expectation that the injury will lead to only minor or moderate physical harm (i.e., there is no suicidal intent). Note: The absence of suicidal intent has either been stated by the individual or can be inferred by the individual's repeated engagement in a behavior that the individual knows, or has learned, is not likely to result in death.B. The individual engages in the self-injurious behavior with one or more of the following expectations: To obtain relief from a negative feeling or cognitive state.To resolve an interpersonal difficulty.To induce a positive feeling state.Note: The desired relief or response is experienced during or shortly after the self-injury, and the individual may display patterns of behavior suggesting a dependence on repeatedly engaging in it.C. The intentional self-injury is associated with at least one of the following: Interpersonal difficulties or negative feelings or thoughts, such as depression, anxiety, tension, anger, generalized distress, or self-criticism, occurring in the period immediately prior to the self-injurious act.Prior to engaging in the act, a period of preoccupation with the intended behavior that is difficult to control.Thinking about self-injury that occurs frequently, even when it is not acted upon.D. The behavior is not socially sanctioned (e.g., body piercing, tattooing, part of a religious or cultural ritual) and is not restricted to picking a scab or nail biting. E. The behavior or its consequences cause clinically significant distress or interference in interpersonal, academic, or other important areas of functioning. F. The behavior does not occur exclusively during psychotic episodes, delirium, substance intoxication, or substance withdrawal. In individuals with a neurodevelopmental disorder, the behavior is not part of a pattern of repetitive stereotypies. The behavior is not better explained by another mental disorder or medical condition (e.g., psychotic disorder, autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, stereotypic movement disorder with self-injury, trichotillomania [hair-pulling disorder], excoriation [skin-picking] disorder).

There are a lot of negative consequences that can come from behavioral addictions. They include everything from financial problems to legal repercussions to health issues. Whether it's gambling, gaming, sex, or pornography, it's important to understand why some people are susceptible to certain behaviors. In fact, the same mechanism that influences chemical addiction could be responsible for behavioral addiction as well. On this episode, Duane speaks with Amanda Giordano, a licensed professional counselor and associate professor at the University of Georgia, who specializes in addiction counseling both in chemical addiction and behavioral addiction. Amanda is the author of a clinical reference book titled A Clinical Guide to Treating Behavioral Addictions.  Today, she imparts her expertise in this field, explaining how the changes in the brain associated with behavioral addictions are actually very similar to the changes associated with chemical addictions.  In other words, instead of becoming addicted to a chemical that originates outside of the body, the body is addicted to the release of its own neurochemicals (dopamine in particular). Once the brain's reward system is activated, it releases neurotransmitters which can become very difficult for some people to abstain from as they become their primary means of regulating their emotions. Hence, for some susceptible individuals, a rewarding behavior can become an addiction where there's a loss of control over that behavior. The behavior is continued despite negative consequences and it becomes compulsive for that individual. They experience cravings or a mental preoccupation with the behavior when they're not engaging in it.  When we understand the neuroscience behind it, we can have a lot more empathy for people with addiction because we can now understand that their experience might be very different from the experience of someone who is not genetically predisposed to addiction. Amanda also talks about how to distinguish behavioral addiction from just a high involvement in the behavior by looking for the 4 C's of addiction.  In this episode, you will hear: How a rewarding behavior can become an addiction Different types of behavioral addiction Resetting the brain takes time The 4 C's of addiction The behavior becoming the salient part of their life Proven effective methods of treatment Factors that influence the susceptibility to behavioral addiction Positive reinforcement vs. negative reinforcement The three circles technique to identify the warning signs Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Ran Zwigenberg's Nuclear Minds: Cold War Psychological Science and the Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (U Chicago Press, 2023) explores early efforts by the American military, psychiatrists, psychologists, and social scientists to understand the effects of the atomic bombings on the minds of those who had survived. In positioning the book as “a prehistory of PTSD,” Zwigenberg draws attention to the historicity of the idea of psychological “trauma” before the concept was institutionalized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in 1980.  Nuclear Minds shows that the ideological temperament of Cold War science and the gendered nature of scientific knowledge production versus psychological care were among the factors that led scientists and researchers to minimize, deny, or simply not register as meaningful the suffering of survivors, but also that without the concept of “trauma” as we use it now (or even the category of “survivor”) the experience of the affected did not always cleanly conform to our contemporary expectations.

The line between cultic behavior and genuine therapeutic practices seems to blur when you dive deep into the controversial methods of Jodi Hildebrandt. A recent episode of "Hidden Killers" featuring Tony Brueski and former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke raises the question: When does unchecked power and influence steer away from genuine care and into the dangerous realm of manipulation?    Jodi Hildebrandt, before her arrest, served as a licensed counselor. Disturbingly, she was recommended by the Mormon Church for her counseling services up until 2012. The church's withdrawal of endorsement came on the heels of Hildebrandt violating HIPAA rules, unveiling confidential information about a patient.    Emerging stories from former clients reveal a troubling pattern in Hildebrandt's practice. Accusations range from methodically separating spouses, pathologizing normal behavior as addiction, and persuading patients to distance themselves from anyone who opposed her advice.    Dreeke made a stark observation: "Welcome to another world of someone trying to form a cult." He further elaborated, pointing out classic cult behaviors manifested in Hildebrandt's methods – controlling information, isolating individuals, and exploiting them. And most disturbingly, Dreeke notes how she seemed to have created her own unique labels for addictions, ones not recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).    A troubling revelation Brueski emphasized was how many of these cases, including Hildebrandt's, had ties to the Church of Latter-Day Saints (LDS). It's essential to note that Dreeke clarified his stance, saying, "Religion has been, it doesn't matter what religion, it's always been the backbone of many cults that have done harm." He expressed concern over the disproportionate number of cases arising from current or former LDS members.    However, both hosts recognized the global contributions of the LDS church, praising its teachings of love, compassion, and non-discrimination. Dreeke offered a theory on why certain individuals may exploit such teachings, "What cults do is to suck you in as they love bomb you." This 'love bombing' technique, he elaborated, is about overwhelming a person with attention and affection. It's a potent strategy that often targets those feeling isolated or disenfranchised in their lives.    Such tactics lead to the significant question posed during their discussion: Do people who start cults even recognize they're doing so? Many, including Hildebrandt, may have deep convictions, but without proper checks and balances, these beliefs can spiral into something far more sinister, especially if spearheaded by a charismatic leader.    Dreeke pointed out that the term 'cult' has garnered a negative connotation over the years, yet many benign groups may have started in similar manners – with a small group of followers led by a charismatic leader. However, the distinction between a harmless group and a cult lies in the tactics employed: isolation, control of information, and harm (physical, psychological, or shaming).    The episode shed light on a grim reality: cult-like groups might not always be large, visible entities. They might be lurking in everyday settings, masked under the guise of therapy sessions or small group gatherings.    Thus, as the hosts of "Hidden Killers" continue their explorations into the shadowy corners of society, the ending question lingers: How many more undetected cults might be silently operating in plain sight?

Utah has been thrown into a whirlwind of controversy following the arrest of YouTube vlogger Ruby Franke's business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, on child abuse charges. Alongside Franke, Hildebrandt was involved in counseling Mormon couples and families through her life coaching service, ConneXions. However, former patients are now shedding light on practices they believe were more akin to a cult than genuine counseling. Hildebrandt's program, described by seven former patients who accessed her services between 2008 and 2019, methodically isolated individuals from their loved ones, used "truth" and "deception" to manipulate perceptions, and even reportedly shattered marriages. "She wanted everything to stay in the group. You're not allowed to have a different opinion than her," commented Stephanie Jones, a former patient. The revelations come amidst a shocking incident where Franke's malnourished 10-year-old daughter and injured 12-year-old son were found in Hildebrandt's residence, leading to both women facing six counts of felony child abuse. It's essential to underline that these charges are unrelated to the allegations emerging about the ConneXions program. ConneXions, which Hildebrandt established in 2007, provided courses on relationships and parenting, rooted in the principles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). A primary theme of the program is the dichotomy of "truth" and "deception." When individuals allowed their personal wants, needs, and experiences to overshadow these "truths," they were living in "distortion," according to the ConneXions course material reviewed by NBC News. Although Franke was prominently featured alongside Hildebrandt in service videos, none of the former clients who came forward claimed to have been counseled by her. The depth of Hildebrandt's misgivings runs deep, particularly with her focus on porn and sex addiction, especially for men. It's significant to note that "porn addiction" isn't recognized as a legitimate disorder by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Yet, it appears Hildebrandt, formerly specializing in "porn addiction" therapy, had no qualms diagnosing men without evidence of abnormal behaviors. Spencer Tibbets' story illustrates the profound disconnect in Hildebrandt's methods. At just 16, Tibbets, who had clandestinely obtained a phone for video games, was thrust into a men's group primarily focusing on porn addiction. Despite his lack of understanding about porn, he was exposed to disturbing conversations involving the sexual fantasies of fellow group members. In a past transgression, Hildebrandt faced disciplinary action by Utah officials in 2012 for breaching confidentiality with one of her patients, who later turned out to be Adam Paul Steed. Following this, he had his church privileges revoked, got temporarily suspended from Brigham Young University (BYU), and underwent a divorce, all consequences of Hildebrandt's disclosures and allegations. Reflecting on the devastation, Steed lamented, "My family got destroyed. My life got destroyed." For women like Stephanie Jones and Eliza Tibbets, Hildebrandt's diagnosis of "control addiction" seemed not only unprofessional but also mentally and emotionally detrimental. Both recounted feeling trapped, controlled, and constantly berated if they ever defied Hildebrandt's views. Hildebrandt's professional standing took a major hit recently. The Utah Division of Professional Licensing disclosed last week that she voluntarily surrendered her mental health counseling license, although it remains active but limited. With the dark cloud of abuse allegations looming over her, Hildebrandt's future in mental health counseling looks bleak. It remains to be seen how these events will unfold, but for now, the tale of Jodi Hildebrandt and ConneXions serves as a chilling reminder of the perils of blind trust in authority figures. As investigations continue, Utah's community will no doubt seek answers and justice for the many affected by Hildebrandt's controversial methods. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

I talk about this relatively new word in English, which actually has its origin in science fiction. The word follows a common pattern for words that start with a very specific meaning in a field or discipline, and then once they're in use in standard English they develop their own meanings and history. I wrap up by comparing it to the word schizophrenic, which has behaved similarly, but with a bit of a twist.Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR)https://www.psychiatry.org/psychiatrists/practice/dsmHistorical Dictionary of Science Fictionhttps://sfdictionary.com/Dictionary of Psychopathology, by Henry Kellermanhttps://cup.columbia.edu/book/dictionary-of-psychopathology/9780231146517

Generalized Mental Disorders: 1. Anxiety: Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes like increased blood pressure. Anxiety disorders often involve intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. The etymology of the word “anxiety” is derived from the Latin anxietas, meaning “anxiety, agitation, distress.” 2. Depression: Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in activities. It affects how you feel, think, and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. The word “depression” is derived from the Latin word depressio, meaning “lowered.” 3. Bipolar Disorder: Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder characterized by periods of depression and periods of elevated mood. It is also known as “manic-depressive disorder” and is one of the most common mental illnesses. The etymology of the word “bipolar” is derived from the Latin words biparus and bi-polaris, meaning “two poles.” 4. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by a traumatic event. It can cause intrusive thoughts, nightmares, flashbacks, and difficulty sleeping. The etymology of the word “post-traumatic” is derived from the Latin post, meaning “after,” and traumaticus, meaning “injury or wound.” 5. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): OCD is a mental disorder characterized by obsessions (recurrent and persistent thoughts, feelings, or urges) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors or mental acts).

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - ADHD is a mental disorder characterized by a pattern of impaired attention control and hyperactive, impulsive behavior. People with ADHD may find it difficult to focus on tasks or remain productive, may become easily distracted or aroused, and may be prone to acting without thinking.

ADHD was first formally recognized as a mental disorder in 1980 and has been a part of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) ever since. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/liam-connerly/support

Psychopathy and sociopathy are perhaps two of the most confused terms in the fields of psychology and criminology. While these terms sound very similar, almost identical, they do, in fact, differ in their characteristics. Both disorders are categorized as Antisocial Personality Disorders in the The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) as they share major characteristics.

A medical doctor often diagnoses physical ailments through a series of lab tests, x-rays, observations, and data analysis. There are multiple proven guidelines and resources in place for the treatment of disease, fractures, organ failure, and other physical illnesses. But, for mental health diagnoses, one book, currently in its fifth revision, is the go-to manual for all mental health professionals. To explore how the manual was created, its major flaws, and the consequential misdiagnoses that come from it, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with author and activist Sarah Fay about her investigation and dissection of the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , or DSM . In her book, Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses, Sarah shares the personal mental health journey that led to her writing the book and why she created a public awareness campaign to identify the dangers of the DSM.

For an elementary school student with severe ADHD, who's at risk of getting expelled for behavior problems, a proper mental health diagnosis can mean the difference between success or failure with traditional education. In situations like these, we can all understand and appreciate the importance of a medical diagnosis.  But what about the rest of us? What if you're depressed after two years of COVID lockdowns, socially isolated, and feeling lost with your career and life? What if you're getting anxiety at the grocery store or struggling to make friends in a new city? You might currently have five of nine symptoms required for a mental health diagnosis as per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), but will that diagnosis actually help or hurt you?  Sarah Fay, my guest on this week's podcast, has been formally diagnosed with six different conditions ranging from anorexia to generalized anxiety disorder; and based on her research, believes that most labeling practices do more harm than good.  Listen and learn: Why many children are receiving mental health diagnoses from general practitioners, not psychiatrists How a mental health label can turn into an identity Differentiating between situational vs. chronic mental health problems Links Sarah's Site ABOUT OUR GUEST Sarah Fay is an author and activist.

Hey hey everyone! ARE YOU READY TO TAKE THE COUCH?! You may have heard that the former Miss USA's mother advised that her daughter had been suffering from "high-functioning depression". She killed herself. It was NOT "high-functioning depression" because a person who suffers from depression and related symptoms and kills themselves has Major Depressive Disorder Severe, until proven otherwise such as some other type of severe mental health diagnosis. “High-functioning depression” is not a clinical diagnosis found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), a handbook used by health-care professionals. The bottom line is this - if you suffer from consistent days of depressive symptoms (listen to this episode because I will list them) don't push through.
