Podcasts about mental health system

You were trained to be ethical. To follow the rules. To keep yourself out of the spotlight and let the system guide the way.But what happens when the system itself is no longer fit for purpose?In this milestone episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a truth I've been sitting with for a long time — and the reckoning that finally made me say, “I can't keep pretending this is working.” This isn't a celebration. It's a confession. A call to those of us who've felt the discomfort of playing small while the field we love becomes harder to recognize.You'll hear the story behind my 2016 keynote that went silent, the inner war between staying beloved and speaking what's true, and the unignorable patterns I've witnessed after mentoring hundreds of therapists trying to do business ethically — but innovatively — in a profession that resists both.If you've ever wondered:Is it just me, or is the system actually broken?Why does it feel like there's no room for nuance or newness anymore?Can I still be a therapist if I want to burn the rulebook?…this one's for you.In this episode, I discuss:The therapist identity crisis: why staying safe often means staying silentHow outdated ethical codes are strangling innovation and visibilityThe story of a therapist being investigated for a Mental Health Week post — and why it's not an outlierWhat happened after my 2016 keynote — and why I buried the leadership part of me for yearsThe psychic split between scaling a beloved brand and stepping into disruptive truthWhy the future of mental health is being built outside our profession — and why that terrifies meThe real patterns I can't unsee anymore: watered-down offers, clinician burnout, unethical wellness gurus going uncheckedA soft reveal of the Mental Health 3.0 Compass — not a product, but a new lens to see what's nextA call to those who feel “too much to be seen, but too big to stay small”If you've ever felt like you're breaking some invisible contract just by wanting more — more impact, more honesty, more space to grow — this is the episode that will name what you've been carrying.

The latest report from the Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission is out - and it doesn't make for good reading. Suicide rates remain high, with no significant decrease since 2018. Also, fatal drug overdoses rose by 88% between 2016 and 2023, and 16,000 fewer people accessed specialist mental health and addiction services in the 2023/23 financial year compared to 2020/21. So are we actually making progress on improving our mental health system, and what does the government plan to do? Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey joined Nick Mills to discuss the findings.

Tuesday Headlines: Greens senator Dorinda Cox joins Labor, one in three Australian men have used intimate partner violence, one of Europe’s largest volcanos erupts, Queensland’s looking to become the events capital of Australia, and the Tillies send off interim coach Tom Sermanni with a 4-1 win. Deep Dive: Whistleblowers are warning that Australia’s mental health system is overwhelmed, underfunded, and unable to meet growing demand, and it’s putting lives at risk. While demand for support grows, some patients with severe mental health needs have been left waiting days for care, while others are being turned away entirely due to a lack of resources and staff. While mental health accounts for 15 per cent of the country’s disease burden, second only to cancer, it receives just five per cent of the country’s health budget annually. In today’s episode of The Briefing, Tara Cassidy speaks with the NSW Chair of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, Pramudie Gunaratne, who’s calling for that to change, and for urgent systematic reform.

The mental healthcare crisis in America demands our immediate attention. We're witnessing a disturbing pattern where individuals with documented histories of serious mental illness cycle through brief institutional stays, only to be released back into society without adequate support systems—often with devastating consequences.This episode tackles the uncomfortable truth about how our society handles mental illness. We explore the problematic "revolving door" approach where patients receive temporary care and medication before being released, regardless of their ability to function safely. The current system benefits pharmaceutical companies financially while failing both patients and communities.I break down the various levels of mental illness and why we need tailored approaches rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. The episode examines how profit motives have corrupted genuine care, with institutions pushing medication as the primary intervention without addressing underlying needs. When tragedy strikes, we express shock at learning about the perpetrator's "history of mental illness"—yet we continue the same failed approaches.Most importantly, this episode proposes concrete solutions: implementing lifelong monitoring and support for those with severe mental illness who cannot safely function independently. This isn't about returning to the problematic asylum model, but creating compassionate, effective systems that protect individuals and communities alike. The research is clear—our current approach isn't working, and we need fundamental change that prioritizes human dignity and public safety over profit and quick fixes.Send us a textWe want to hear from you, Introduce yourself the way you would like it aired, where your calling from State and City is fine as well as which Season, Podcast title and episode.

Dr. Alice Feller, MD speaks with Paul Krauss MA LPC about her experiences working as a psychiatrist both within the public mental health system and private practice. Dr. Feller discusses the barriers inside the current system that are diminishing care to helping those who are most afflicted by mental health concerns. Dr. Feller tells stories of those she has worked to help and how some healthcare policies, current laws, and ignorance of mental health conditions negatively affect those seeking care of severe mental illnesses such as Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. Dr. Feller and Paul discuss the correlations between homelessness and those suffering from mental illnesses. According to Dr. Feller, author of American Madness: Fighting for Patients In a Broken Mental Health System, the deinstitutionalization movement (especially the obscure "16-bed law" regarding public federal healthcare funding) caused many of the homelessness issues we see today, and that mental illness and addiction don't necessarily cause homelessness — but that homelessness often triggers or exacerbates mental illness and addiction. What's more, most treatment for serious mental illness and addiction is doled out in American prisons, an issue which criminalizing homelessness would only worsen.

In this episode, Jake and Mike sit down with Dr. Chloe Carmichael, clinical psychologist and author of Nervous Energy: Harness the Power of Your Anxiety. Together, they dive into the benefits of free speech, the mental health advantages of self-expression, and the dangers of groupthink. Dr. Carmichael introduces nine practical techniques from her book to help manage anxiety, including mindfulness, emotion-based to-do lists, and mental shortlists for redirecting energy. They also examine cultural trends contributing to the overuse and medicalization of anxiety, including the financial incentives driving overdiagnosis and the diminishing role of spirituality in society. Parenting challenges, such as schools shouldering too much responsibility and limited parental involvement, are discussed as factors influencing childhood anxiety.Dr. Carmichael and Jake highlight concerns with the current mental health system, which often focuses on symptom management rather than addressing root causes. They also stress the importance of the cautious use of screening tools to prevent the pathologization of normal experiences. The conversation explores barriers to finding the right therapist, from financial limitations to insurance challenges, and concludes with a deeper look at the intersection of mental health and gun ownership. Topics such as red flag laws, cognitive dissonance in mental health diagnosis, and the shortcomings of research on gun ownership are all addressed.Send us a text

My guest today is Dr. Lia Naor, a visionary for a new mental health system, who founded the “Healing Space” after Oct. 7th as a life-saving, nature-based trauma-healing ER for survivors. Lia has a PhD in Human Development and Counselling, she researches positive transformation and has a private practice as a nature based therapist. Lia trains therapists and educators through “ways of knowing” - her center for nature based therapy, as well as programs centered on the process of human development through initiation toward fulfilling potential and deepening our humanity.  In this episode, we discuss the importance of creating healing centers that focus on holistic well-being and support individuals. Lia's vision is of a new mental health system that values connection, acceptance, and personal growth out of the breakdown, through embracing pain, and choosing life.  2 parts to this episode:  - Part 1 - we discuss the process of healing traumas based on Lia's approach and work;  - Part 2 (timecode 00:34) - we go back to Dec. 2023 where I filmed Lia's work in the Healing Space - a special center in Israel for trauma work and healing - for the Oct. 7th massacre & Nova party survivors.   * Donations I received during Oct. 7th went towards the production of this episode and the episode with Dror Ashuah.  ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

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.

Dr. Jaclynn Moskow is a trained physician scientist, writer, healthcare business consultant, and well known professional poker player. The medical industrial complex, much like a high-stakes poker game, operates on a grand scale where the players are institutions, corporations, and policy makers, but the chips are human lives and well-being. Just as a skilled poker player might exploit less experienced opponents, we're seeing a system that prioritizes profit over patient care. The 'house' - in this case, big pharma, insurance companies, and certain healthcare conglomerates - seems to hold all the cards, making rules that benefit their bottom line rather than public health. On todays episode we learn more about medical school training, how a physician is trained to think, what happens when the doctor becomes the patient, what does it mean to overcome mental health or health problems, psychedelics and what poker can teach us about life.

We talk a lot more about mental health than we used to — and that's served to destigmatize it and promote opportunities to improve it. But that conversation has yet to improve mental healthcare for those who need it most. Abdul reflects on why we still have so much further to go. Then he sits down with Dr. Alice Feller, a psychiatrist and author of American Madness about how politicians disassembled the US mental healthcare system and what we need to do to rebuild it.

In this groundbreaking episode, I dive deep into the concept of Mental Health 3.0 and why it's crucial for both therapists and clients. Join me as I share my personal journey and passion for transforming the mental health system, and discover how this paradigm shift can lead to a more sustainable, innovative, and impactful future for mental health care.I open up about my own dark period, where I found myself burnt out, overwhelmed, and questioning whether I could continue in this field. I share the visceral memory of sitting on my kitchen floor, head in a bucket, dry-retching from the stress and anxiety of facing another day in the clinic. It was a defining moment when I realized that the job I had dedicated my life to was harming me. Through this challenging time, I discovered a glimmer of hope and found a way to reclaim my health, financial stability, and passion for my work. Key takeaways from this episode include:Understanding the limitations of Mental Health 1.0 and 2.0 models, and why they fail to address the full spectrum of human functioningEmbracing an entrepreneurial mindset and diversifying your income streams as a therapistLeveraging technology and online programs to scale your impact and reach more peoplePrioritizing your own well-being and creating a business that aligns with your passions and valuesPractical steps to start implementing Mental Health 3.0 principles in your practiceIf you're a therapist feeling the weight of a broken system, or someone passionate about revolutionizing mental health care, this episode is for you.
