Podcasts about mental health system

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.

In this Psychedelic Podcast episode, Paul F. Austin welcomes Jonathan Sabbagh, CEO of Journey Clinical, who shares his mission to integrate FDA-approved psychedelics within the modern therapeutic framework. Find episode links, summary, and transcript here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-209-jonathan-sabbagh/ Jonathan highlights the disjointed nature of today's mental health system, where therapists and prescribers lack communication, hindering comprehensive assessments and referrals. He and Paul emphasize Journey Clinical's collaborative care model, streamlining information exchange, and maximizing psychedelic-therapy access through telemedicine innovation. They explore Journey's potential challenges of scalability, therapist training, and insurance coverage for extended sessions. And they consider the balance between state-level decriminalization, psychedelic medicalization, and decentralized access. Join Paul and Jonathan as they imagine a new mental healthcare infrastructure that addresses the growing crisis and reinvents therapeutic care as we know it.   Jonathan Sabbagh: Jonathan Sabbagh is the Co-Founder and CEO of Journey Clinical, the leading telehealth platform expanding access to psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

Navigating the Mental Health System: Coercion, Rights, and Freedom Join Michael Liebowitz in a thought-provoking conversation with Kathy Flaherty, Executive Director of the Connecticut Legal Rights Project, as they delve into the complexities of the mental health system and its impact on individuals. In this episode of "The Rational Egoist," Michael and Kathy discuss the psychological problems faced by many, involuntary commitments, and the need to navigate a system that often undermines personal agency and liberty.Kathy shares her personal experience of battling mental health issues as a child, only to face dismissal from her parents. A casual remark about self-harm during her university years led to an involuntary hospitalization, highlighting the stark contrast between physical and mental health treatments. While physical conditions allow patients to walk away or refuse treatment, mental health conditions often lead to loss of freedom and forced interventions.The podcast explores the inherent challenges in seeking help within a system that discourages honesty. Kathy reveals the unsettling reality of being coerced, drugged, and deprived of liberty for disclosing mental health conditions. This discouraging dynamic pushes individuals to suffer in silence, perpetuating a cycle of silent suffering that could be avoided if the system prioritized individual choice.Furthermore, Kathy sheds light on the violation of civil liberties experienced by those subjected to civil commitments. In many cases, patients' stays in psychiatric wards extend for years without having the right to choose their own treatment. As the conversation progresses, the underlying issue of collectivism becomes evident, as government involvement in mental healthcare exacerbates the problems rather than providing effective solutions.Michael draws parallels from his own experience in prison, where honesty led to punishment, while dishonesty seemed to grant benefits. Together, they emphasise the need to remove government influence from healthcare and mental health services. By doing so, mental healthcare providers can adopt a customer-service approach, fostering a healthier and more respectful patient-provider relationship.The podcast also delves into the topic of criminal acts committed due to mental illness, examining the processes and regulations surrounding the determination of insanity. Kathy and Michael question the ethics of subjecting individuals to harm within the confines of mental health institutions, knowing that one day they will re-enter society as neighbours. Michael Liebowitz is a philosopher, political activist, and host of the Rational Egoist podcast. He is a passionate advocate of reason and his views have been heavily influenced by the philosopher Ayn Rand. Liebowitz has dedicated his life to promoting its principles of rational self-interest, individualism, and reason. In addition to his work as a podcast host, Liebowitz is also a prominent spokesperson for the Libertarian Party for Connecticut - USA and has been involved in a number of political debates advocating for individual rights and freedoms through his YouTube videos and interviews. Liebowitz's life story is a testament to the transformative power of the writings of Ayn Rand. After spending 25 years in prison, he was able to turn his life around by embracing the principles of rational self-interest and morality espoused by Ayn Rand.

In 2018, Governor Jay Inslee, hospital officials, and state lawmakers stood outside of Western State Hospital in Lakewood. They were there to make an announcement about a bold new approach to mental health care.

With an extensive background in the mental health space, including healthcare economics, coaching, and counseling, Sarah has worked with healthcare companies and organizations such as Kip Health, Lyra Health, Breakthrough (later acquired by MDLive), and One Medical Group. Sarah is SafeTalk Certified and holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Economics from Vassar College, where she also built a national model for peer counseling. Sarah joins me today to discuss the current failures facing the mental health system in America and the opportunities presented to society to make things right. We discuss the role that the environment plays in your mental health and how considering a patient's environment can positively transform the success of their treatment. We discuss the four key elements that make up our mental health and the importance of connecting each element to achieve optimal mental health. We also discuss the role that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on society's mental health status and what Sarah believes we should do to respond and help others cope with the crisis in a healthy and sustainable way. Mental health issues are a human epidemic, and our system fails to help the millions in need. This talk puts a spotlight on how each of us can help, starting with seeing the whole thing differently. “We've been funding basic science and neuro-science with the intention of understanding what's going on and how to fix things at a biochemical level, but in the last few decades, we've really neglected the environment of the person.” - Sarah SeegalThis week on Insert:Human●     How a person's environment can impact their mental health●     The connection between our biological, psychological, social, and spiritual elements and the impact of an unbalance between these elements●     How Affect Mental Health helps mental health startups accelerate and improve the mental health system●     The startup ventures Affect supports and the two current startup companies Affect is currently incubating●     Common stigmas around addiction and prescription medication abuse●     The education and societal limitations impacting our human development system●     The impact that COVID-19 will have on people's mental health and how Sarah believes we should respond to the current crisis while protecting our mental health●     The challenges associated with accepting a ‘new norm' Resources Mentioned:●     Radical Acceptance - Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)●     From Pull to Push: How to Manage Our Time In Disquieting Times●     21 ACT Worksheets and Ways to Apply Acceptance & Commitment Therapy - Positive Psychology Connect with Sarah Seegal:●     Affect Mental Health●     Affect Mental Health on LinkedIn●     Affect Mental Health on Instagram●     Affect Mental Health on Facebook●     Affect Mental Health on Twitter●     Sarah Seegal on LinkedIn Insert:Human - For a Better Life & Better WorldThanks for tuning into this week's episode of Insert:Human.
