Lindsay Clancy checked a mapping application to calculate how long her husband's errand would take. Then, according to prosecutors, she used that fifty-four-minute window to end the lives of Cora, Dawson, and Callan.The defense says she was hearing a voice she couldn't refuse. Nine medications — eight prescribed in a three-week span. Psychiatric appointments that were virtual and lasted seventeen minutes. A hospital that told her she was overmedicated and misdiagnosed, then sent her home without follow-up. Her attorney offered to formally admit she was responsible for all three deaths if the judge would split the trial into two phases: guilt first, sanity second. The judge refused.Now the jury will hear the confession and the psychosis evidence at the same time. The judge also blocked other mothers from testifying about their own experiences with postpartum psychosis — ruling that medical experts can cover the condition adequately. Fifteen women had contacted the defense wanting to tell the jury they had heard the same kind of voices.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer sits down with Tony and Robin to walk through the implications. Can psychosis and planning coexist? Did the judge's rulings just tilt the trial toward the prosecution? And how does a jury process a father — Patrick Clancy — who forgave his wife, sued her doctors, and is taking the stand for the defense?Jury selection begins July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court. The trial is expected to run four to six weeks. Lindsay Clancy is paralyzed and in a wheelchair. The system that prescribed her nine medications has never been in a courtroom.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses depression, panic attacks, hospitalisation and a disclosed low point involving suicidal thoughts. If any of this affects you, Lifeline is available 24/7 on 13 11 14. What does faith look like from a psych ward bed?0:00 – Trigger warning0:30 – Intro: Faith. No filter.1:26 – Meet Rachel. 25-year-old musician raised in the church4:18 – Diagnosed with ADHD at age 1117:27 – A senior school rejection breaks her spirit22:13 – A panic attack derails the stage she once loved24:37 – Hospitalised in a psych ward26:44 – Coming to terms with being asexual and queer31:26 – Finding her way back to music and worshipIn this episode of Filthy Hope, hosts Rev Ness Williams-Henke and Rev Jon Humphries sit down with Rachel Humphries (Jon's own daughter) for the first of a two-part conversation. Raised as a Chaplain's kid inside the school he worked in, Rachel grew up believing music was her calling, until a private-school culture that prized "excellence" over commitment told her otherwise. What followed were years of depression and PTSD, a panic attack that took her off a stage she'd never feared, and a night she told her mum she wasn't "good”, words that landed her in a psych ward.Together they wrestle with the harder questions: how do you hold onto faith when the place that raised you also broke you? What does healing look like when you're queer, asexual and self-sacrificing to a fault? Rachel doesn't offer easy answers: she calls herself "a terrible Christian" in the same breath she talks about leading worship every week. But she's back on stage, fronting a band, and figuring out grace one gig, one Sunday, and one honest conversation at a time.#FilthyHope #ChristianPodcast #GritWithGrace #FaithNoFilter #ChaplainsKid #PsychWard #MentalHealthAndFaith #AsexualAndChristian #QueerAndChristian #WorshipLeader

What did a new client say that nearly knocked Dr. Roger McFillin out of his chair? Why has honesty become the rarest thing in American life? And what if the label you were handed was never true? Be honest. You've watched it happen. Every flaw becomes a condition. Every choice becomes a symptom. Every struggle becomes a disorder. An entire culture has quietly agreed to stop telling the truth about itself.This episode breaks the agreement.

Laura Delano was a high-achieving student—straight-A's, national squash ranking, class president—whose private suffering led to an early bipolar diagnosis and a lifetime prognosis of medication. After initially resisting, she spent the next decade immersed in elite psychiatric care, accumulating multiple diagnoses and nineteen medications, only to worsen and be labeled "treatment resistant." Following a suicide attempt at twenty-seven, Laura began asking a forbidden question: what if the treatment itself was the problem? Choosing to leave behind drugs and diagnoses, she became an outspoken ex-patient, writer, and advocate—working with individuals, families, and clinicians to address psychiatric drug withdrawal, patient rights, and the deeper social forces shaping modern mental health.  In this episode, Dr. Brian, Dr. Tro, and Laura talk about… (00:00) Intro (02:06) Laura's bipolar diagnosis and how it impacted her life as a young person (14:20) Psychiatric drugs and the polypharmacological approach to addressing mental health issues (23:04) The metabolic, spiritual, and emotional issues underlying psychiatric disorder (31:08) How Laura finally realized that the answer to her psychiatric problems was not more meds and traditional psychiatric care (34:10) Major issues in the psychiatric health care system (36:47) Anti-psychotic drugs, food addiction, and alcoholism (40:41) Finally coming off of all the psychiatric drugs that Laura had been on for half her life (48:17) Gut health, lifestyle factors, and mental health (50:49) Why it is so hard to find your way out of the psychiatric care system (55:13) Safe de-prescription and informed consent in psychiatric care (01:03:03) Fake empathy, moral corruption, and systemic issues in medical care that are perpetuating these major problems (01:09:10) Outro For more information, please see the links below.

Psychiatric meds can feel like a maze when someone is trying to get sober and also sleep, focus, and stop panic spirals all in the same week. We made this updated, practical overview to simplify psychopharmacology for addiction treatment and recovery, using plain language and real clinical decision-making instead of jargon or hype.We start by clearing up a viral rumor and then zoom out to how medications are actually created: research pathways, FDA indications, “me-too” drugs, and why off-label prescribing is so common in psychiatry. From there, we walk through the major medication classes and what they are truly used for, including antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, mirtazapine, bupropion), anxiety and insomnia options that are less risky in recovery, and the basics of antipsychotics and mood stabilisers for severe symptoms like psychosis and bipolar disorder. We also touch on pharmacogenomics testing such as GeneSight and why individual response can still require careful trial and adjustment.Because addiction medicine demands extra caution, we spend real time on benzodiazepine risks, why Z-drugs like Ambien can be problematic, and what we reach for instead when someone needs immediate anxiety relief while antidepressants take weeks to work. We wrap with a clinical case that shows how we prioritise conditions, pick meds that can treat more than one target, and avoid starting too many at once.If this helps you, subscribe, share it with a colleague, and leave a rating or review so more people can find the show.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

Send us Fan MailQuick recapLaurieAnn interviewed Lee Atherton, founder of Phoenix Rising and a psychiatric service dog advocate, for her podcast "Bleep Bulimia." Lee shared her personal journey with bulimia and how her service dog Shadow helped her through depression and anxiety after losing her brother to a drug overdose. They discussed the potential for training service dogs to assist people with bulimia, including alerting others when someone is engaging in harmful behaviors and providing comfort during recovery. Lee explained her foundation's mission to make psychiatric service dogs more accessible to those who need them, particularly highlighting the high cost of fully trained service dogs at approximately $45,000. The conversation also touched on Lee's upcoming book project collecting service dog stories and various ways listeners can support Phoenix Rising, including financial donations and social media assistance.My words are that she is so delightful and so transparent.  Lee Atherton shared great information about not only the service dogs, she shared about her own struggles with bulimia.  Thank you, Lee.To reach Lee, go to https://phoenixrising-sdsl.com/  ❤️Support the show

Fluent Fiction - Norwegian: When Ducks Invade: A Psychiatric Ward's Unexpected Encounter Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/no/episode/2026-06-05-22-34-02-no Story Transcript:No: På et solfylt psykiatrisk avdeling, med utsikt over en vakker hage og en liten dam, bodde Sindre.En: At a sunny psychiatric ward overlooking a beautiful garden and a small pond lived Sindre.No: Han hadde alltid hatt en spesiell kjærlighet for dyr, spesielt ender.En: He had always had a special love for animals, especially ducks.No: Hver gang han kikket ut av vinduet og så endene svømme, følte han en indre ro.En: Every time he looked out the window and saw the ducks swimming, he felt an inner peace.No: Det var sen vår, og blomstrene i hagen sto i full prakt.En: It was late spring, and the flowers in the garden were in full bloom.No: Det var lunsjtid, og Sindre satt i kantina sammen med Per, en annen pasient.En: It was lunchtime, and Sindre sat in the cafeteria with Per, another patient.No: De to delte gjerne historier og Sindre elsket å fortelle Per om sitt hemmelige ønske om å kunne snakke med dyrene.En: They often shared stories, and Sindre loved to tell Per about his secret wish to be able to talk to animals.No: Plutselig ble stillheten brutt.En: Suddenly the silence was broken.No: Dørene til kantina ble sparket opp, og inn veltet en flokk med ender.En: The doors to the cafeteria were kicked open, and in waddled a flock of ducks.No: De hakket og kvakket høylytt, og det ble kaos i kantina.En: They pecked and quacked loudly, and chaos erupted in the cafeteria.No: Personalet, inkludert Ingrid, en ivrig sykepleier, sprang til, men Sindre så dette som sin gyldne mulighet.En: The staff, including Ingrid, an eager nurse, rushed in, but Sindre saw this as his golden opportunity.No: Sindre reiste seg opp, øynene hans lyste av iver.En: Sindre stood up, his eyes gleaming with excitement.No: "Per, dette er sjansen vår!En: "Per, this is our chance!No: Vi kan snakke med dem!En: We can talk to them!"No: " sa han og grep Per i hånden.En: he said, grabbing Per's hand.No: Sammen løp de nærmere endene.En: Together they ran closer to the ducks.No: Ingrid, som kjente til Sindres idé om å snakke med dyrene, var skeptisk, men også nysgjerrig.En: Ingrid, who knew of Sindre's idea of talking to animals, was skeptical but also curious.No: Hun prøvde å bevare roen mens andre ansatte forsøkte å geleide endene ut.En: She tried to remain calm while other staff tried to guide the ducks out.No: Midt i alt ståheiet nærmet Sindre seg en stor, hvit and som sto i midten av flokken.En: Amidst all the commotion, Sindre approached a large, white duck that stood in the middle of the flock.No: Han bøyer seg ned, prøver å møte andens blikk.En: He bent down, trying to meet the duck's gaze.No: "Hva ønsker dere å si?En: "What do you wish to say?"No: " hvisket han spent.En: he

Rebeka egy vasárnap délután látogatta meg, hogy egy kis színt vigyen Eszter világába.En: Rebeka, an old friend of Eszter from art school, visited her on a Sunday afternoon to bring a little color into Eszter's world.Hu: Ahogy a folyosókon végigment, megérezte, hogy barátnője nehezen éli meg ezt a helyzetet.En: As she walked down the corridors, she sensed that her friend was finding it difficult to cope with this situation.Hu: Rebeka elhatározta, hogy segít.En: Rebeka decided to help.Hu: De vajon bevihet-e festékeket és vásznakat?En: But could she bring in paints and canvases?Hu: Vajon a látogatóknak megengedett ez?En: Was this allowed for visitors?Hu: Zoltán, a részleg egyik kedves ápolója, mindig különös figyelmet fordított Eszterre.En: Zoltán, one of the kind nurses on the ward, always paid special attention to Eszter.Hu: Nap mint nap látta, hogy a lány próbálkozott beilleszkedni, hogy megtalálja régi énjét egy új világban.En: Day after day, he saw the girl trying to fit in, trying to find her old self in a new world.Hu: Zoltán tudta, mennyit jelent neki a festészet, és elhatározta, hogy segít, ahol csak tud.En: Zoltán knew how much painting meant to her and decided to help wherever he could.Hu: Egy nap Rebeka látogatása során, amikor a nap sugarai beragyogták a szobát, és játékos árnyékokat vetettek a falakra, Eszter félénken megkérte Rebekát, hogy hozzon be pár festéket a következő alkalommal.En: One day during Rebeka's visit, when the sunlight streamed into the room, casting playful shadows on the walls, Eszter shyly asked Rebeka to bring some paints next time.Hu: Rebeka habozott, de belement a kérésbe, mert látta Eszter szemében az újraéledő reményt.En: Rebeka hesitated but agreed to the request because she saw the rekindled hope in Eszter's eyes.Hu: A következő látogatás során Rebeka hozott egy zacskónyi festéket és ecsetet.En: During the next visit, Rebeka brought a bag of paints and brushes.Hu: De az ilyen próbálkozások kockázatosak voltak.En: But such attempts were risky.Hu: Az osztályon egy szigorú nővér észrevette a csomagot és kérdőre vonta Rebeka szándékait.En: A strict nurse on the ward noticed the package and questioned Rebeka's intentions.Hu: A feszültség nőtt, ahogy a nővér a szabályokra hivatkozott, és az egész jelenet a folyosón játszódott le.En: Tensions rose as the nurse referred to the rules, and the entire scene unfolded in the corridor.Hu: Ekkor lépett közbe Zoltán.En: That's when Zoltán intervened.Hu: Megértő mosollyal győzködni kezdte a főnővért: "Ez fontos része Eszter gyógyulásának.En: With an understanding smile, he began to persuade the head nurse: "This is an important part of Eszter's recovery.Hu: Szüksége van rá, hogy kifejezze önmagát."En: She needs to express herself."Hu: A főnővér némileg megenyhült a következetes érvek hatására.En: The head nurse somewhat softened under the consistent arguments.Hu: "Rendben," mondta végül, "de figyelemmel kísérjük majd, hogyan használják."En: "Alright," she finally said, "but we will monitor how they are used."Hu: Eszter megkönnyebbülten sóhajtott.En: Eszter sighed with relief.Hu: A festékei visszajutottak hozzá, és vele együtt az alkotás lehetősége.En: Her paints were returned to her, along with the opportunity to create.Hu: Zoltán és Rebeka támogatása új reményt adott neki.En: The support of Zoltán and Rebeka gave her new hope.Hu: Talán e színek és formák segítségével sikerül szabadabbnak éreznie magát a világban.En: Perhaps with the help of these colors and forms, she could feel freer in the world.Hu: A nap végén Eszter a vászon fölé hajolt, újra érezve a kreativitás gyönyörét.En: At the end of the day, Eszter leaned over the canvas, once again feeling the joy of creativity.Hu: A helyzet nem volt tökéletes, de tudta, hogy nem egyedül kell szembenéznie a nehézségekkel.En: The situation wasn't perfect, but she knew she didn't have to face the difficulties alone.Hu: A barátság és a kedvesség mindig kísérői maradtak az útján.En: Friendship and kindness remained her companions on her journey.Hu: Ahogy az első ecsetvonások kialakultak a vásznon, Eszter már tudta: nem csak a színek, de Zoltán és Rebeka támogatása is erőt adott a gyógyuláshoz.En: As the first brushstrokes appeared on the canvas, Eszter already knew: it wasn't just the colors but the support of Zoltán and Rebeka that gave her the strength to heal.

Charles Foxtrot Wednesday June 3rd,2026 at 4 PM ET Topic: Red-Pilled in a Clown World: Surviving the Age of Absurdity Charles Foxtrot is a pseudonym used for his first book, Red-Pilling in a Clown World, which details a live account of ‘the staging of a pandemic'. The real person behind the author has two medical degrees and has been a Psychiatric nurse in secure units, a registered chiropractor, and a successful businessman- before ‘Covid' changed everything. He has spent the last 6 years revealing the truth and ‘digital soldiering' for Q, and its military intelligence operation. This resulted in the latest book titled ‘ Why Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming'. https://charlesfoxtrot.com/

"This is a cautionary tale about how extremism and fascism can creep up on us. It always begins with hate speech and dehumanization... from verbal violence, it's a very short leap to physical violence." — Dr. Georgette Bennett ABOUT THIS EPISODE Dr. Georgette Bennett is an award-winning sociologist, widely published author, former NBC News correspondent, and founder of both the Tanenbaum Center for Inter-Religious Understanding and the Multifaith Alliance for Syrian Refugees — which has mobilized more than $660 million in humanitarian aid. Her latest book, Half Jew, Full Life, tells the extraordinary story of Holocaust survivor Gary "Pips" Phillips, a distant relative who became a surrogate father to Georgette after her own father's death. Pips was classified by the Nazis as a Mischling — half-Jewish — yet voluntarily embraced his Jewish identity at the very moment it could be fatal. Mike and Georgette discuss Pips's four arrests and three escapes, the Nazis who unexpectedly saved his life, the challenge of writing a third-person memoir from psychiatric recordings, and why this story carries urgent lessons about identity, denial, and the creep of extremism. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. A Holocaust story unlike any other. Pips was a Mischling first degree — an Aryan mother, a Jewish father — who voluntarily chose to be Jewish by becoming a bar mitzvah the very week the Nuremberg Laws were enacted. Almost nothing has been written about people in this category. 2. Nazis both persecuted and saved him. Pips was arrested four times and escaped three times. In key moments, individual Nazis — motivated by love, lust, or personal connection — intervened to save his life, complicating the black-and-white narrative of the Holocaust. 3. Survival was his career. Living underground in Berlin among 6,500 Jews who went into hiding, Pips navigated a world where you couldn't buy food or rent a room without papers stamped with a "J." Every day was a question of where to eat and where to sleep. 4. Psychiatric tapes became the primary source. Pips recorded his life story across dozens of sessions with his psychiatrist. Georgette had them transcribed while he was still alive, giving the book an authentic first-person voice despite being written in third person. 5. Trauma never fully heals. Pips's wife Olga, an Auschwitz survivor, processed her experience through silence and ultimately took her own life in 2005. Pips's own trauma surfaced decades later as severe palpitations with no physical cause. 6. Identity is a lifelong negotiation. Pips spent his entire life seeking acceptance as a Jew despite never formally converting. The title Half Jew, Full Life comes from his own declaration: "I don't want to be a half Jew. I want to be a full Jew." 7. A cautionary tale for today. The book traces how extremism begins with hate speech and dehumanization, and how denial during that phase allows violence to escalate — a pattern Georgette sees playing out in the present day. 8. The American Dream, chapter two. After the war, Pips arrived in America as a waiter and bicycle messenger and ended up co-owning the largest photo agency in the world, hobnobbing with celebrities like Natalie Wood and Raquel Welch — never having owned a camera.

Psychiatric medication tapering* is becoming one of the most important and controversial conversations in mental health care.In the wake of the American Psychiatric Association Annual Conference, Dr. Bret Scher explores the growing debate around psychiatric medication “deprescribing,” responsible tapering, overprescription, and the urgent need for better research and clinician guidance.This discussion examines the real clinical questions:When should psychiatric medications be reassessed?How should tapering be approached safely?How do we distinguish withdrawal symptoms from relapse?Why is there still so little research on tapering protocols?What role could metabolic psychiatry and ketogenic therapy play in supporting brain health during treatment?Dr. Scher also discusses why every psychiatric prescription should include an ongoing plan for reassessment, not just indefinite continuation by default.Importantly, this video does NOT encourage anyone to stop psychiatric medications on their own. Decisions about medication changes should always be made carefully with a qualified healthcare provider.

What if the most powerful tool for mental health recovery isn't a medication — it's your metabolism?  Dr. Erin Louise Bellamy joins Dr. Vera Tarman for a deep dive into ketogenic metabolic therapy: what it is, how it works, and why it may be one of the most underutilized interventions in both psychiatric care and food addiction recovery.  Dr. Bellamy is a chartered psychologist, CEO of IKRT (International Ketogenic Research & Therapy), and a research fellow at the University of East London. She has been researching and applying ketogenic metabolic therapy in clinical settings since 2014, with a background that bridges eating disorders, psychiatric research, and metabolic health.  In this episode, Vera and Erin discuss:  How Erin went from eating disorder and alexithymia research to ketogenic metabolic psychiatry — and why the field's "biopsychosocial" model was missing the bio  The difference between metabolic psychiatry, ketogenic therapy, and therapeutic carbohydrate restriction — and why the terminology matters  What carbohydrate range actually produces therapeutic ketosis (and why "dirty keto" doesn't cut it)  The shared mechanistic pathways across psychiatric diagnoses — including mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, and neuroinflammation  Why antipsychotic medications create metabolic dysfunction, and how ketogenic therapy can help offset those side effects  The GABA/glutamate shift that makes ketones naturally anxiolytic — and why this may work differently than the serotonin model of depression  The "buffer effect": what it feels like to be in ketosis when you're a food addict — and why some people describe it as a pane of glass between themselves and a trigger food  How ketogenic therapy compares to GLP-1 medications (Ozempic/Wegovy) for reducing food noise — and Erin's concerns about the long-term research  MCT oil vs. exogenous ketones: when each is useful, and when exogenous ketones are counterproductive  Applying ketogenic therapy to people with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and co-occurring food addiction  How to support vegan or plant-based clients who want to pursue ketogenic therapy  Why the first week matters most — and how to help clients through withdrawal without triggering a binge  The 19-person IKRT group program published in Frontiers — and what's coming next in the research  Connect with Dr. Erin Bellamy:

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOFor more than a century, State Lunatic Asylum #2 in St. Joseph, Missouri housed thousands of patients, many of whom lived—and died—within its walls. Over time, the facility became part of a complicated history of mental health treatment, marked by both care and controversy.Today, that history is preserved at the Glore Psychiatric Museum. Exhibits document the practices, tools, and realities of life inside the institution—but for many visitors and staff, the experience goes beyond what's on display.Reports of shadow figures appearing in doorways, voices calling from empty rooms, and an unshakable sense of being watched have become part of the museum's reputation. Electronic voice phenomena have captured unsettling messages, and some believe whatever energy was tied to the original facility may have followed when the collection was relocated.It raises an unsettling question—when a place with that kind of history is moved, does anything come with it?#TheGraveTalks #GlorePsychiatricMuseum #HauntedMuseum #HauntedAsylum #ParanormalPodcast #GhostsOfThePast #EVP #HauntedMissouri #SpiritsAmongUs #DarkHistoryLove real ghost stories?
