Send us Fan MailBrendan Reesor is on a mission to transform perceptions of mental illness. Years ago, he made a significant change to his diet, which not only led to notable improvements in his physical health but also had unexpected effects on his mental well-being.As he hoped, his once pallid complexion brightened, but he soon discovered that he was free from chronic anxiety and mild feelings of gender dysphoria that had previously troubled him. Intrigued by his own transformation, Brendan delved into research, observing that his past experiences were not isolated. He recognized a troubling pattern among others who, like him, shared traits of being plant-based, pale, anxious, gender dysphoric, and socially conscious.Determined to uncover the deeper truths about mental health, Brendan explored the intricate relationship between physical health and emotional well-being. He began to decipher complex phenomena often overlooked by experts, including nightmares, sleep paralysis, panic attacks, hallucinations, dissociation, mass hysteria, and postpartum depression, all of which he connects to deficiencies in blood and oxygen.In his book, Beyond The Pale: Anemia: The Visible Yet Unseen Cause of Mental Illness and Gender Dysphoria, Brendan invites readers to explore his findings and consider the often-unacknowledged role of physical health in understanding mental illness.Find Brendan at-Amazon- Beyond The Pale: Anemia: The Visible Yet Unseen Cause of Mental Illness and Gender DysphoriaWebsite- https://www.brendanjreesor.com/YT- @I Am Beyond The PaleLink Tree- @https://linktr.ee/brendan.reesor Find Boundless Body at-myboundlessbody.comBook a session with us here! 

Psychedelics are having a moment in mental health care. Research is showing promising results for conditions including depression, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD. But how much do we actually know — and how much is hype? ADAA member expert and licensed psychologist Jonathan Schettino, PhD, explains how psychedelics went from being viewed primarily as illegal drugs to becoming the subject of serious clinical research. He breaks down what happens during psychedelic-assisted therapy, why standardized dosing matters, and why treatment involves much more than simply taking a psychedelic and “tripping.” Listeners will learn: how researchers control psychedelic doses in clinical trials why psychedelics aren't yet FDA-approved treatments whether psychotherapy makes psychedelic treatment more effective The research is promising, but the science isn't settled. This conversation explains what we know, what we don't know, and why the next few years could be critical for understanding the future of psychedelic-assisted mental health treatment. Listen now!

What does “in sickness and in health” really mean when the sickness is mental?In this episode of Beyond I Do, Adam and Ashley use the Lindsay Clancy case as the starting point for a bigger conversation about marriage, mental health, postpartum struggles, trauma, and personal responsibility.They talk about what happens when a spouse begins to change emotionally, how mental health can affect connection inside a marriage, and the difficult reality of supporting someone who may not feel like the same person you married.The conversation also explores how trauma can affect memory, how easy it can be for a spouse to emotionally check out, and why covenant requires more than staying committed when everything is easy.This episode wrestles with one important question:What does it really mean to love your spouse in sickness and in health?--Do you struggle with obedience to God?Visit Faith at the Table to get your free resource today!https://tablefaith.com/--Have a question about relationships?

Brendan Reesor, author of Beyond The Pale, The Visible, Yet Unseen Cause of Mental Illness and Gender Dysphoria, talks about his personal experience which led to exploring the science in this area and writing about it in his recent book. His book is available on Amazon and soon on Google Books as an audio book.

Ann Marie Farino's oldest son, Richard, was charismatic, funny, deeply empathetic, and the kind of kid who could walk into a room and connect with just about anyone. But beginning around age 12, he also struggled with depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges that eventually gave way to addiction. For years, Ann Marie did everything she could to help—therapists, schools, treatment programs, boundaries, second chances, and countless “deep breath mom moments” when there was no obvious right answer. Eventually, Richard got sober and stayed that way for the final three years of his life. He was working, building a life, and preparing to get married when, in June 2016, he died by suicide at just 24 years old.In this conversation, Ann Marie and Heather talk honestly about what it means to love a child through mental illness and addiction, the limits of what even a fiercely devoted parent can fix, and the complicated reality of losing someone to suicide. Ann Marie shares why, even during Richard's years of sobriety, part of her always feared what might happen, and how she came to understand that life had simply become too painful for him. They also talk about the joy and humor that existed alongside the chaos, the “divine nudges” that continue to make Ann Marie feel Richard's presence, and the bench in his hometown that has become an unexpected place of connection and remembrance. Nearly ten years after Richard's death, Ann Marie has learned that grief and joy can occupy the same life—and that the love between a mother and her son doesn't end when he dies.Resources & Ways to ConnectAnn Marie Farino Website: https://annmariefarino.com/Chronic Chaos: A Son's Addiction, A Mother's Love, and Her Quest to Find Joy: https://amplifypublishinggroup.com/product/nonfiction/health-medicine-and-wellness/mental-health/chronic-chaos/Jake's Help from Heaven Website: http://jakeshelpfromheaven.org/Jake's Help from Heaven Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jakeshelpJake's Help from Heaven Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jakeshelpAPOY Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aplaceofyespodcastHeather's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathersstraughterOur YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@aplaceofyespodcastFor more of Heather's writing and thoughts: https://ohheather.substack.com/Everything's Jakey (Substack): https://everythingsjakey.substack.com/

On January 24, 2023, three children were found strangled inside their Massachusetts home while their mother, Lindsay Clancy, lay severely injured outside after an apparent suicide attempt. Lindsay was charged with their murders, but years later, her trial ended with a deadlocked jury. At first glance, the case seems straightforward. Lindsay had been struggling with severe mental-health symptoms, had reported thoughts of harming herself and her children, and later described hearing a male voice commanding her to kill them. But once you start digging into the evidence, the timeline, her medications, her injuries, the digital forensics, and what investigators did—and didn't—examine, questions begin to emerge. In this episode, we walk through Lindsay's story and the events leading up to the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan before examining the theories surrounding the case: questions about Patrick Clancy, his timeline and future relationship, the missing digital evidence, the physical evidence inside the home, the strange parallels to another mother accused of killing her three children, doppelgängers, occult symbolism, numerology, and the theory that the entire case is being used to push a much larger agenda. I'm not accusing anyone of committing a crime. These are the theories surrounding the case—and we're going to examine just how deep this rabbit hole goes. https://www.stayskeptical.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, we explore one of the most haunting lines from Kurt Cobain's suicide note: “Why don't you just enjoy it?” and the devastating response: “I don't know.” We unpack why human beings struggle to feel joy through the lenses of neuroscience, psychology, evolution, trauma, addiction, overstimulation, and modern culture.

He Will Never Leave You  Life Of Joseph  Part 2  Genesis  Chapter 40

[Content Warning]: Discussions of coercive control, financial abuse and exploitation, isolation, dissociation; non-graphic mentions of child sexual abuse and sexual assault by a partner, suicidal ideation Sarma Melngailis was a Wharton-educated entrepreneur who built New York City's first upscale raw vegan restaurant, Pure Food and Wine, and the wellness brand One Lucky Duck. From the outside, she had it all. Then she met a man online who, over five years, siphoned her business, her savings, her mother's money, and ultimately her sense of self, a slow-motion collapse she now recognizes as textbook coercive control.  In this conversation with Jan Broberg, Sarma, author of her memoir The Girl with the Duck Tattoo, talks about how a predator uses “data mining” to learn your fears and dreams before ever meeting you in person, what it feels like to dissociate into what she calls a “zombie state,” and why she believes intelligence and openness make people more vulnerable to manipulation, not less. She also opens up about being diagnosed with autism at 51, the arrest that she says ultimately set her free, and her frustration with how her story was mangled in the Netflix docuseries Bad Vegan.  Jan and Sarma talk through the mechanics of coercive control, isolation, gaslighting, financial exploitation, and the confusion and fear that keep someone locked in place long after their instincts are screaming at them to leave. It's a conversation about how brilliant, accomplished people get pulled into these dynamics, and how they find their way back to themselves.

In this episode Jerry and Stably discussed Buddha's Little Finger by Victor Pelevin. The hosts explored this postmodern Russian novel that weaves together multiple narrative threads across different time periods and realities. The protagonist Pyotr Void exists simultaneously as a patient in a 1990s Russian mental hospital and as a commissar to Bolshevik commander Chapayev in 1919. Through encounters with fellow patients whose delusions form separate vignettes—including a man believing he is a Mexican telenovela actress romantically involved with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and a drunk Russian intellectual inducted into a Japanese samurai clan—Pelevin constructs sophisticated commentary on post-Soviet Russian identity. Jerry and Stably discussed the novel's Buddhist philosophy, particularly how it functions as a Zen teaching device through paradox and riddle-like dialogue, depicting Pyotr's journey toward enlightenment and the realization of non-self. The translation was praised for its quality, and the hosts noted how Pelevin uses the patient hallucinations as political metaphors representing Russia's conflicting fantasies of merger with the West and East.

Before 2025, we didn't spend too much time talking about measles on this podcast, and that's because there wasn't much of a need to. But ever since the measles outbreak in West Texas began in January 2025, it's become a regular topic of discussion, with the U.S. now at more than 6,000 confirmed cases since the beginning of that year. In this week's episode, hosts Chris Dall and Dr. Michael Osterholm discuss the measles outbreak in Pennsylvania and the rest of the country. They'll also cover some potential good news on the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, answer listener questions about RSV and flu vaccines, and examine an uptick in exposure to rabid animals in the US.Correction: During the introduction, it is stated that there have been more than 6,000 measles cases since the beginning of last year. As of Friday 9/25, there have been a total of 5,948 cases reported in the US during that time frame.Content Warning: This week's dedication and closing include discussion of suicide and mental health.

What if some of the anxiety, depression, and mental health issues we experience aren't simply problems inside us? What if they're actually signals telling us something about the world around us? Psychiatrist and author Dr. Joanna Cheek joins the show to challenge the way we think about mental health, diagnosis, treatment, and self-care. Her argument isn't that mental health disorders aren't real. They're real, they can be debilitating, and they deserve professional treatment. But focusing only on the individual can cause us to miss external factors that could be a contributing factor. Focusing on the world or external circumstances raises complicated questions. For example, if anxiety can be a normal response to danger, when does it become an anxiety disorder? If low mood can be a signal that something in our environment isn't working, when does it become depression? And if treatment helps us feel better, does that mean the problem is solved? Listeners Will Learn: ·      Why self-care alone may not be enough to improve mental health ·      What “collective care” means and why it matters ·      How small acts of kindness and connection can benefit well-being ·      Why anxiety and low mood aren't automatically mental health disorders This episode isn't an argument against mental health treatment. It's about asking a bigger question: What if we're treating the symptoms without paying enough attention to what's causing them? Listen now for a fascinating conversation about what we misunderstand about mental health—and what we might be able to do about it. “Self-care isn't enough. We need to care for our collectives because this world will keep making us sick.” ~Dr. Joanna Cheek, Author of “It's Not You It's the World” Our guest, Joanna Cheek, MD, is a board-certified psychiatrist, psychotherapist trained in dozens of modalities, researcher, meditation teacher, journalist, and Clinical Professor at the University of British Columbia's Faculty of Medicine. She co-created the national-award-winning Mind Space collective, offering publicly-funded mental health workshops to teach effective mental health strategies through connection and care to tens of thousands of community members and physicians who, like us all, experience the mental health symptoms that arise from living in a disordered world. 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.

In this episode, Candida Fink MD and Jo-Ann Berry take a friendly but critical look at Jonathan Haidt's bestseller, The Anxious Generation. The hosts break down Haidt's four key recommendations for raising healthier kids and challenge some common buzzwords (like “brain rewiring”) with up-to-date research. They mix in plenty of real-world wisdom from the front lines of education and psychiatry, tackling what families and schools are actually up against when it comes to technology, screen time, and the mental health of young people.Episode Chapters & Timestamps00:00 Intro: Coffee Chaos & Catching UpThe episode starts with Jo-Ann Berry and Candida Fink MD swapping coffee disaster stories and welcoming listeners to another conversation at the intersection of school and mental health.01:47 The Anxious Generation: Haidt's Four RulesJo-Ann Berry introduces Jonathan Haidt's four major recommendations: no smartphones before high school, no social media before 16, phone-free schools, and more unsupervised play.03:50 Facing Reality: The Pressure on FamiliesCandida Fink MD highlights the real-life struggle for families to follow these guidelines given the strong pull of community standards and FOMO.07:47 ⭐ HIGHLIGHT: The (Lack of) Science on “Rewiring” Kids' BrainsCandida Fink MD explains there's little evidence smartphones are literally rewiring young brains, pushing for honest, non-scary science communication.11:30 How Tech Hooks Us: Dopamine, Design, and Predatory AppsThe conversation turns to how tech and gaming companies use brain science to keep everyone—especially kids and teens—coming back for more.15:44 Gender Differences & Power for Marginalized GroupsThe hosts discuss how boys and girls are socialized into different tech habits, while also acknowledging that online spaces can be crucial support networks for LGBTQ+ kids and other marginalized youth.21:27 Redefining Success: There's More to Life Than a PaycheckJo-Ann Berry and Candida Fink MD critique the tendency to judge success by career and financial outcomes alone—reminding us that connection, emotional health, and care work matter too.30:43 Free Play & the Lost Art of Appropriate RiskWhy “boredom” and unstructured time (even with a little risk) are keys to kid's growth—and how families used to (and still can) nurture these crucial experiences.34:17 One Good Thing & Closing Shout OutsJo-Ann Berry celebrates feeling better, and Candida Fink MD throws some love to the recent Bad Bunny halftime show for its infectious energy.Key TakeawaysThe Four Pillars: Basic agreement on no smartphones pre-high school, no social media before 16, phone-free schools, and encouraging more free play and independence.Science vs. Hype: No strong evidence (yet) that smartphones and social media are literally “rewiring” brains—so let's be careful with scary language.Compassion & Community First: The most successful changes will come from “ground up” agreements among parents, not just top-down rules.Know Your Tech: Social media and gaming platforms are designed to hold attention; understanding this is the first step toward making smarter choices.Benefits for Marginalized Youth: Online spaces aren't all bad—there's real power and connection for many kids who don't see themselves represented elsewhere.Redefining Success: Remember, there are lots of ways to measure a “successful” life—mental health, relationships, and community are just as important as financial gain.Practical Tips for FamiliesBuild Community Agreements: Connect with other families to set mutual expectations around devices and apps—individual change is hard in a vacuum.Teach Critical Consumption: Regularly talk with your kids about how, and why, tech platforms try to keep them engaged.Encourage Analog Fun: Make space for (and celebrate!) boredom, spontaneous play, and outdoor adventures—sometimes the best learning happens away from screens.Watch for Signs: Keep an eye out for when gaming or online time stops being fun and starts interfering with sleep, relationships, or schoolwork.Resources MentionedBook: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan HaidtBook: Of Boys and Men by Richard ReevesArticle: Is Technology Really Ruining Teens' Lives? by Molly Fischer (The New Yorker)Support: NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) for families navigating youth mental healthFurther Reading: AAP Technical Report on Digital Ecosystems, Children, and AdolescentsShow Notes: [References to selected scientific studies] to be listed in the episode's web notesLooking for more practical suggestions, resources, or future topics?

Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow speaks with guest Janice Russell about her journey with clinical depression, diagnosed in 2001 but likely present long before. Janice shares her experience managing her condition with medications like Wellbutrin and Pristiq, as well as past treatments including Zoloft and Paxil. She highlights how her co-ed Bible study group noticed her lack of joy and affect, persistently asking for prayers and support over several months. Janice emphasizes that depression is often misunderstood and lightly regarded, yet for her, even simple tasks can feel overwhelming. She discusses the importance of recognizing and acknowledging depression, along with being aware of one's body. Janice also explores alternative treatments such as exercise, acupuncture, and essential oils.

He Has Not Forgotten You  Part 3 Esther Chapter 6

Dr. Diana Sorrentino, a social psychologist, author, and educator who has worked with transgender and gender diverse people and their families for 36 years, joins me to break down misconceptions about trans identity. Dr. Sorrentino lays out her case that gender identity forms before birth, explains how she helps parents move from rejection to support, and walks through the screening she says comes before puberty blockers, with hormones not before 16 and surgery after 18. We disagree on whether gender dysphoria is a mental illness, and she gives direct answers on trans athletes, military service, bathrooms, and whether Democrats should drop the issue. All positions expressed are Dr. Sorrentino's own and do not represent the views of Purple Political Breakdown.

Send us Fan MailYou can be the strong one and still be exhausted. If you're the person everyone calls, the caregiver who never clocks out, or the one who keeps smiling while depression quietly drains you, this conversation gives you language for what you're carrying and permission to stop pretending you're fine. I'm talking about that moment when you've prayed, waited, worked, and sacrificed for so long that you don't even recognize yourself anymore. We reframe strength as something deeper than willpower: the courage to rest, to be honest, and to ask for help without shame. I share faith-based encouragement and practical mental health support for emotional exhaustion, caregiver burnout, chronic stress, and depression, including how to take off the mask, name what's really making you tired, and recognize the physical warning signs your body sends before your mouth will admit the truth. We also walk through boundaries that protect your peace, and how to choose one safe person so you can stop suffering in silence. You'll leave with grounded coping strategies you can use today, especially if you feel overwhelmed or stuck in survival mode: one small next step, one burden to put down, and one decision to delay until you're rested enough to see clearly.

There has been a great deal of press coverage of the Lindsay Clancy case lately. What the world needs more of is first-hand experiences of severe mental health problems both before and after a baby is born. Dr. Kara Zivin is a researcher and professor of psychiatry at the University of Michigan. While pregnant with her son 15 years ago, she experienced a profound depression that turned suicidal. The severity of her illness and the electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) she ultimately received to address it has meant that memories around the new baby (now in high school and doing great) are spotty at best. Dr. Zivin's story, detailed in her book, Persevered: A Memoir of Maternal Mental Health, points at the complexity of trying to identify, treat, and manage a mental health crisis for women in America. She also tells us how she's been taking in the news about other maternal mental health situations.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

The mental health system can feel confusing, frustrating, and sometimes downright impossible to navigate—especially when you live with bipolar disorder. But what if the problem isn't that the system is “broken,” what if it was simply designed for something different? In this episode, Gabe Howard (who lives with bipolar) and Dr. Nicole Washington take an honest look at how the mental health system works, from emergency rooms and psychiatric hospitalization to outpatient care, insurance limitations, medication management, and the lack of community support after hospitalization. They explain why understanding the system can help people with bipolar disorder set more realistic expectations and find ways to work within its limitations. Listeners Will Learn: ·      How the mental health system was designed – and how to better navigate it ·      How an advocate can help you be heard during a crisis ·      How to set more realistic expectations for treatment ·      Where patients and families can use their voices to advocate for change Most importantly, this episode isn't about blaming patients, doctors, or caregivers. It's about understanding how the system actually works, recognizing where you have power, and learning how to use your voice when you need care most. You may not be able to change the entire system, but you can learn to navigate it, prepare for its limitations, and advocate for better care. Understanding the system is the first step toward changing your experience within it. Listen now. “The mental health system isn't broken. It's designed this way. So how do you navigate it?” ~Gabe Howard, Host Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning podcast host, author, and sought-after suicide prevention and mental health speaker, but he wouldn't be any of those things today if he hadn't been committed to a psychiatric hospital in 2003.Gabe also hosts Healthline's Inside Mental Health podcast has appeared in numerous publications, including Bipolar magazine, WebMD, Newsweek, and the Stanford Online Medical Journal.

He Has Not Forgotten you Part  2 Genesis Chapter 41

[Content Warning]: Discussions of childhood emotional neglect, adoption-based abandonment wounds, inappropriate aged relationship, domestic violence, suicidal ideation Jessica Anne Pressler grew up in a home that looked safe from the outside, two successful parents, financial security, good schools, but there wasn't much room inside for feelings. Her father's alcoholism and her mother's emotional distance taught her early to be the good girl, to stay invisible, and to look the other way. At nine years old, she learned in a matter of minutes that she was adopted and was going to have a sibling. By fifteen, she was in a relationship with a twenty-year-old that would turn abusive.  Jessica is now a Columbia-trained psychotherapist with almost four decades in the field, and in this conversation with Jan Broberg, she introduces the concept she calls the Traitor Within, the coping mechanisms we build as children to feel safe, and the ways they quietly work against us as adults. She traces her own path from that first toxic relationship through years of therapizing, her own therapy, being a grief counselor, and finally to writing Traitor Within, a novel that lets readers recognize themselves in a story rather than a clinical label. Jan and Jessica talk about naming trauma responses instead of pathologizing them, how an abandonment wound shapes adult relationships, careers, and friendships, and what it looks like to interrupt an intergenerational cycle, even decades into doing the work. Traitor Within is available for pre-order now and ships September 22, 2026. Learn more at jessicaannepressler.com.

Men die by suicide at dramatically higher rates than women, accounting for nearly 80% of suicide deaths. Yet many men who are struggling never seek mental health support — and the consequences can be deadly. On this episode, host Gabe Howard talks with psychiatrist Dr. Sanjay Mathew, board president of the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), and Richard Reeves, president of the American Institute for Boys and Men and author of “Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do About It.”The conversation explores why traditional mental health language and services may not resonate with some men, how anger and irritability can be overlooked warning signs, and why men may be reluctant to seek or continue treatment. They examine the importance of friendship, community, purpose, and feeling needed — and why men may sometimes hold themselves to such high standards that they count themselves out before they even begin.Listeners will learn: how adjusting the language around mental health may increase engagement among men why connection and belonging can be critical to men's well-being how friends and family can help prevent male suicide  why mental health treatment and therapy are a sign of strength, not weakness Most importantly, the episode challenges the idea that improving men's mental health means taking anything away from women. The goal, the guests argue, is not either/or — it's helping everyone thrive. Listen now to learn more. This episode has been sponsored by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA).  “I think sending that message to men and perhaps especially to young men, ‘We need you,' is actually something that as a culture, we're not doing very well now.” ~Richard Reeves, author of “Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do About It” Our guest, Richard V. Reeves, is the founder and president of the American Institute for Boys and Men (AIBM). Before founding AIBM in 2023, Reeves was a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. While at Brookings, he focused on policies related to economic inequality, racial justice, social mobility, and boys and men. Reeves is the author of several books, including “Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male is Struggling, Why it Matters, and What to do About It” and “Dream Hoarders: How the American Upper Class Is Leaving Everyone Else in the Dust, Why That is a Problem, and What to do About It.” Inspired by his own experiences as a father and policy expert, Reeves founded AIBM to bring awareness to the challenges facing boys and men today and to develop evidence-based solutions. Our guest, Dr. Sanjay Mathew, is a professor and department head in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Texas A&M University's Naresh K. Vashisht College of Medicine.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial ended with an 11-to-1 split, a mistrial, and a system that reportedly had no tools to prevent the outcome. One holdout juror allegedly admitted reasonable doubt and refused to apply the court's instructions. Seven weeks of testimony, over 80 witnesses, and 38 hours of deliberation were erased on September 4.Defense attorney Bob Motta joins the show to analyze the full scope of what the mistrial exposed. He starts with the jury room — what jurors have publicly described about the holdout's conduct, why the defense's emergency appeal to the Massachusetts SJC was denied, and what the legal system's inability to act reveals about how well-equipped it is to handle cases built on psychiatric evidence.Motta moves to the legal maneuvering that followed. Reddington filed a Rule 25 motion on September 10, arguing the mistrial was not a manifest necessity and seeking an acquittal finding before the state can retry. The hearing is September 29. Reddington has publicly stated he won't accept prison time in any deal. Cruz has said only that his office will address the case at the appropriate time. Motta examines the power dynamic and where a realistic resolution might fall.The conversation closes on the question the system is avoiding. Lindsay is reportedly paralyzed at Tewksbury State Hospital on suicide watch. Patrick Clancy faces the prospect of another extended trial. Eleven jurors reportedly accepted Dr. Resnick's testimony that Lindsay's psychotic state, not malice, drove her actions. Motta addresses whether the first-degree murder framework can process this kind of case — and what continued prosecution signals about the system's treatment of maternal mental illness.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Schizophrenia has long been intertwined with the anti-psychiatry movement. The anti-psychiatry movement is based on the belief that psychiatric treatments often cause more harm than good. It challenges the legitimacy of mental illness diagnoses, medical interventions, and institutional authority. But the anti-psychiatry movement has also helped to significantly transform modern mental health care, patient rights, and legal, ethical, and clinical reforms. Host Rachel Star Withers, a diagnosed schizophrenic, and co-host Gabe Howard  break down the core parts of the ever evolving anti-psychiatry movement and how to navigate it as someone with schizophrenia and their loved ones. Guest Psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Morehead joins. He is an advocate for mental health and the author of Science Over Stigma: Education and Advocacy for Mental Health, published by the American Psychiatric Association. Our guest, Dr. Daniel Morehead, is a psychiatrist and director of training for the general psychiatry residency at Tufts Medical Center in Boston.

She has appeared on MTV's Ridiculousness, TruTV, NBC's America's Got Talent, Marvel's Black Panther, TUBI's #shockfight, Goliath: Playing with Reality, and is the host of the HealthLine podcast “Inside Schizophrenia”. She grew up seeing monsters, hearing people in the walls, and having intense urges to hurt herself. Rachel creates videos documenting her schizophrenia, ways to manage, and letting others like her know they are not alone and can still live an amazing life.

In Episode 371 of Through a Therapist's Eyes, we examine the tragic case of Lindsay Clancy following the September 2026 mistrial declaration—where a jury split 11–1 over whether the Massachusetts mother was criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children during what her defense argued was an acute break from reality. We break down the vital clinical distinction between common postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis—a severe, highly unpredictable psychiatric emergency marked by delusions, hallucinations, and severely compromised reality testing. Merging legal and psychological frameworks, the panel explores how a diagnosis alone doesn't resolve criminal responsibility, tackling the complex question of whether deliberate planning refutes the presence of psychosis. Finally, we speak directly to listeners about recognizing early warning signs, overcoming the shame surrounding frightening post-birth thoughts, and balancing empathy for devastating psychiatric illness with the difficult demands of justice. Tune in to see Criminal Responsibility Through a Therapist's Eyes.

In this episode of The Journey Podcast, Zachary Cummings and John Scafiddi Jr. break down the Lindsay Clancy case, the debate surrounding postpartum psychosis, mental health, criminal responsibility, and accountability after the deaths of her three children. We discuss whether severe mental illness should change how someone is held responsible for their actions and why this case has created such a massive divide online. The conversation also turns to Enes Kanter, Royce White, the WNBA, transgender athletes, biological men in women's sports, and the ongoing debate over fairness in women's athletics. Zach and John also discuss cancel culture, rage bait, politics, mental health in America, and why society seems increasingly divided over basic questions of right and wrong. This is an opinion-based conversation about some of the most controversial current events happening in America right now.Patreon (EXCLUSIVE EPISODES)https://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodThe Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/johnscafiddijrTik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#LindsayClancy #PostpartumPsychosis #MentalHealth #WNBA #TheJourneyPodcast

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 181 Surely you have noticed a couple of things about Woke. First, it acts like mental illness. Second, it actually valorizes mental illness for real. These outcomes are the logical consequence of having adopted the views of the postmodernist Michel Foucault, particularly his early work in Madness and Civilization (1961). Among the consequences to this civilizational catastrophe, besides the obvious, including the transgender ideological craze, is the completely destruction of anything like a "reasonable person" standard by which to judge things we see happening in the world. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this intellectual history and its relevance to so much of what we deal with today.

What happens when you seemingly have everything — and still don't feel OK? TOMS Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie opens up about the severe depression that followed his departure from the company he built. What initially felt like a mild depression gradually became a years-long struggle marked by isolation, shame, loss of purpose, relationship difficulties, suicidal thoughts, and a painful disconnection from himself. Blake also shares his experience of being misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and taking multiple psychiatric medications before working with a psychiatrist to carefully taper off them. They also explore an uncomfortable question: Have we taught people to expect medication to fix mental health problems in the same way we expect an antibiotic to cure an infection? Listeners will learn: Success doesn't make you immune to depression. Rock bottom looks different for everyone. Recovery often requires multiple tools. Feeling better doesn't mean you stop doing the work. Blake ultimately discovered that recovery wasn't about finding a single solution — it was about reconnecting with himself, finding purpose, and continuing to do the work. Even after feeling better, he still shows up for therapy every week. Listen now to hear Blake's powerful story of depression, recovery, and learning that there really is no magic pill. Guest & Host Information: Blake Mycoskie is best known as the founder of TOMS Shoes and the creator of the One for One movement, which gave over 100 million pairs of shoes to children in need and helped spark a new wave of social entrepreneurship. But behind the global success, he was quietly battling something deeper: the unshakable belief that he was never enough. After selling TOMS, that internal struggle became impossible to ignore. Despite having everything he once believed would bring fulfillment, family, success, community, and financial security, he found himself in a profound depression. At his lowest point, he came close to ending his life. That breaking point led to a life-altering realization: the wound wasn't external, it was rooted within. And the only way forward was to heal the original lie that he wasn't enough. From that awakening came his next chapter: ENOUGH. A cultural movement designed to challenge the deeply ingrained belief of “not enough” and reframe how we understand mental health at its core. Through simple but powerful symbols, like the green ENOUGH bracelet, sold in pairs, one to keep and one to give, he invites people to reconnect with a truth that has always been there: I am enough. You are enough. We are enough. Blake is also launching No Magic Pill - a podcast created for those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or alone. It's a space for honest, unfiltered conversations about mental health that are both relatable and practical. There's no agenda, no product to push, and no requirement for a perfect ending. Just truth, shared openly. This chapter is not just about healing, it's about rediscovery. Through doing the inner work, Blake reawakened something he thought he had lost - his entrepreneurial spirit. What followed has been a renewed sense of clarity, creativity, and passion. Fueling a level of joy and productivity in his work that surpasses anything he has experienced before. He is now channeling that energy into new ventures as co-founder of Morning Water and Moovlab - brands rooted in wellness, intentional living, and human performance, each reflecting a more aligned and conscious approach to building. Beyond business, Blake is a proud father of two, an avid surfer, and a portrait photographer. He is currently working on a 50th birthday project, traveling to photograph and honor the people who have most shaped his life. Blake lives in Santa Barbara, California, where he continues to build, create, and connect from a place of wholeness rather than lack. His life's work now sits at the intersection of mental health, creativity, and entrepreneurship, guided by a simple but transformative belief, that embracing our inherent enoughness is the foundation for everything that follows.
