I met Justine after the world went bananas. She was one of the rare medically and psychiatrically trained professionals in Canada to wake up to the agendas and see through the masking, jabs, and tyranny that overtook much of the world. Seeing the writing on the wall with her profession, she found me and came to train as a coach to take her private practice to a new level. She became an apprentice Journey Code trainer and I've grown to appreciate many things about her, including her enormous bravery in stepping up for the truth, and agreeing to speak with me publicly on this topic, even though it's a risk to her. I was inspired to have her on now to specifically focus on the way that psychiatric drugs ruin many people's lives. This important matter came to my attention when a close friend got badly injured by one this past year. I've since heard the testimonies of many people on Twitter in particular who have been injured by psychiatric drugs. I'm just a voice in a choir of outrage, but I felt called to put a warning message on the record here, and some hope too. In this interview we will talk about the truth behind psychiatric drugs through the eyes of Justine, ways to potentially mitigate the harm they cause, how people can potentially avoid getting to that point of desperate measures, and the social reality of it. We'll talk about why people agree to these dangerous measures, but they are never warned about the dark outcomes that are possible.We will also talk about why the liver is the key to detoxing these or any drugs, the relationship between the liver and the emotions and programming, some detox principles that might apply, and why there's hope for the injured with a will to heal and be free.Personally, I was aware there was pharma-harm in the psych world, but I didn't know the half of it before. It's beyond heart-breaking to imagine how many people are needlessly, in my opinion, suffering this way, so I'm glad to get Justine Lalonde's insights. Bio: Justine Lalonde is a Canadian raised in Montreal who obtained her MD from University of Toronto and then went to Harvard to specialized in Psychiatry and while she was there also obtained her MBA from Harvard. She worked in clinical practice in the US and then worked in Big Pharma in Europe and in biotech in US for a dozen of years. After being disillusioned by this industry as well as psychiatry, she returned to clinical practice in Montreal in 2019 where she works in private practice.***Bumper music by Liam Martens, aka ツSaiko, sub to him here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SA1KO0O1  ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero's Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free Will MinistryRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness'Donate by PayPal if you're inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on Apple Podcasts Spotify***If we're just meeting...I'm Beth Martens, a pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and business coach, and my calling is a life or death thing.

And I went from dying to living practically overnight.Today I help people who love the truth more than their beliefs, and who want to serve with their life's work and be on their Hero's Journey, to de-program the beast system and stop making it easy for those trying to kill us.I host regular King Hero interviews highlighting leaders, entrepreneurs, movement makers, and lovers of freedom.

Dr. Casey Grover breaks down psychiatric medications and their role in addiction treatment, explaining how different medications work, when they're most appropriate, and which ones to avoid. He provides a practical overview based on his extensive experience treating patients with substance use disorders.• Psychiatric medications get developed through research on brain receptors and undergo rigorous testing before FDA approval• Medications often have "off-label" uses that weren't originally intended but provide benefits in certain situations• Antidepressants like SSRIs and SNRIs serve as the foundation for treating depression in people with addiction• Using non-addictive options like hydroxyzine, clonidine, and buspirone is crucial when treating anxiety in recovery• Trazodone and mirtazapine are preferred for sleep issues over benzodiazepines and "Z-drugs" that can create dependence• ADHD treatment requires careful consideration when patients have stimulant use disorder histories• Benzodiazepines should be avoided when possible as they paradoxically worsen anxiety over time• Medication selection should consider urgency of conditions, past medication responses, and potential side effects• Some psychiatric conditions may improve with therapy allowing medication reduction, while others require long-term treatmentThank you for taking the time to learn about addiction. It's a fight we cannot win without awareness and action. There's still so much we can do to improve how addiction is treated. Together we can make it happen. Remember, treating addiction saves lives.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

“The greatest polluting element in the earth's environment is the proliferation of electromagnetic fields. I consider that to be a far greater threat on a global scale than warming, or the increase of chemical elements in the environment.” Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! In this episode, we're diving into The Body Electric by Robert O. Becker, a fascinating read on how electricity flows through the body and the ways it might influence healing, health, and even consciousness. Becker, a pioneer in bioelectricity, lays out connections between injury recovery, electromagnetic fields, and the body's natural currents. We cover a wide range of topics including: The link between magnetic storms and spikes in psychiatric admissions How the body's healing process relies on electric signals Diet, metabolism, and avoiding the “swamp” Modern concerns about EMF exposure from wifi, Bluetooth, and power lines The crossover between bioelectricity and mitochondrial theory And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

Nat, Neil, and Adil catch up and share some recent long reads that delivered a good payoff. (4:11) Today's discussion is on The Body Electric by Robert O. Becker, a deep dive into the body's electrical systems and what they mean for healing, health, and human potential. (8:59) Psychiatric admissions spike after magnetic storms... why is that? And how injuries can disrupt your body's electrical current, slowing down the healing process. (15:05) We explore the overlap between Becker's ideas and theories on mitochondrial efficiency, including connections to Ray Peat's metabolic philosophies. (20:57) Energy flow, metabolism, and how different diets affect the body's ability to generate and use energy. (25:25) Why you should avoid the “swamp”. With all the conflicting diet advice out there, how do we know what to eat? (28:50) Mitochondria and the electrical nature of cells. While Becker doesn't directly mention mitochondria, modern science connects the dots. (33:05) Neil shares his findings from using an EMF meter around the house. We talk about everyday EMF exposure and what to avoid. (37:49) What does Deep Research have to say about some of the claims in the book? (43:37) Living near high-voltage power lines, earbuds, and lifestyle changes we've made (or not made) since reading the book.  (48:55) Bluetooth vs. wifi: Is one worse than the other in terms of EMF exposure?

Mice are used as model organisms across a wide range of fields in science today--but it is far from obvious how studying a mouse in a maze can help us understand human problems like alcoholism or anxiety. How do scientists convince funders, fellow scientists, the general public, and even themselves that animal experiments are a good way of producing knowledge about the genetics of human behavior? In Model Behavior: Animal Experiments, Complexity, and the Genetics of Psychiatric Disorders (U Chicago Press, 2018), Nicole C. Nelson takes us inside an animal behavior genetics laboratory to examine how scientists create and manage the foundational knowledge of their field. Behavior genetics is a particularly challenging field for making a clear-cut case that mouse experiments work, because researchers believe that both the phenomena they are studying and the animal models they are using are complex. These assumptions of complexity change the nature of what laboratory work produces. Whereas historical and ethnographic studies traditionally portray the laboratory as a place where scientists control, simplify, and stabilize nature in the service of producing durable facts, the laboratory that emerges from Nelson's extensive interviews and fieldwork is a place where stable findings are always just out of reach. The ongoing work of managing precarious experimental systems means that researchers learn as much--if not more--about the impact of the environment on behavior as they do about genetics. Model Behavior offers a compelling portrait of life in a twenty-first-century laboratory, where partial, provisional answers to complex scientific questions are increasingly the norm.

Just when she thought the debilitating anxiety of her pregnancy was behind her, Natalie found herself pushed to the brink by insomnia. What began as ten sleepless nights quickly unravelled into terrifying hallucinations and inescapable panic that she would never be able to sleep again. In this raw and deeply moving episode, we sit with Natalie for part two of her story as she reveals the emotional toll of sleep deprivation and divulges one of the most vulnerable moments of her life: the unexpected mental health crisis she faced in early postpartum. With heart-wrenching honesty, Natalie recounts the moment she asked her husband to leave the room so she could confide in the Crisis Assessment and Treatment Team (CATT) about her hallucination, the bittersweet decision to separate from her newborn baby in the hopes of finally getting some sleep, the desperation she felt when her prescribed sleeping medication did not work, and the unwavering support of her family as they witnessed the darkest hours of her crisis in the emergency room and the acute mental health ward. This is not just a story of survival. It's a story about the profound difference that compassionate care can make, about the urgent need for better access to mother-and-baby mental health services, and about the importance of breaking the silence around perinatal mental illness. Above all, it's a reminder that in our darkest moments, being held - both physically and emotionally - can be a lifeline. Whether you're a parent, partner, healthcare provider, or simply someone who cares, Natalie's story will stay with you for a long time and show you that there is help, there is hope. Please note, this episode discusses suicidal ideation.

Ever wondered if mental illnesses are more than just a chemical imbalance? In this mind-blowing episode, we sit down with retired psychotherapist Jerry Marzinsky, who spent over 40 years working with psychiatric patients—including the criminally insane. He challenges mainstream psychology's narrative and unveils the shocking patterns he discovered in schizophrenic voices. Could these "hallucinations" actually be something more? We dive deep into the pharmaceutical industry's deception, the energetic nature of thoughts, the supernatural strength of psychotic individuals, and the unseen battle behind mental illness.

In today's episode of Doorknob Comments, Grant and Fara sit down with Dr. Glenn Saxe to discuss the development and impact of Trauma Systems Therapy (TST), a model that addresses both emotional regulation in traumatized children and the complexities of their social environments. Dr. Saxe highlights how TST's open-source approach has allowed practitioners worldwide to innovate and adapt the model for diverse settings, from child welfare to refugee care. The conversation explores the importance of honoring intergenerational wisdom while adapting to new challenges like cyberbullying and the digital age. They also touch on the promise of causal data science to advance psychiatric research and the need to embrace complexity rather than oversimplify mental health solutions. We hope you enjoy.

Send us a textIn this episode, we speak with Claudia Battison, a Psychiatric Rehabilitation Technician (PRT) in the mental health system in Trieste Italy.  I am joined in this interview by Dr. Joy Agner, Assistant  Professor at the USC Chan School of Occupational Therapy and Occupational Science at USC.   Heart Forward has become particularly interested in the potential role that occupational therapists --  if empowered to practice their profession to its full potential --  could play in mental health support settings in the U.S.  Unfortunately, the way that OT services are primarily funded (through short-term, medically oriented reimbursement systems) constrain their ability to come alongside people in their recovery journey over the long term. This topic was already approached in a Season Four podcast with Dr. Deborah Pitts from USC's Chan School. In this conversation, we learn about the ways in which the PRT engages with the system users.  Three stark differences emerge: Time.  There are no deadlines.  They are afforded the time necessary to get to know the user and tease out the life plans/goals (also referred to as a personal rehabilitation project) that are meaningful to the user.Friendship.  The relationship is described more like a friendship than what might be more typical in an American context.  This equates with the ethos of coming alongside people in horizontal relationships that eschew the power dynamics associated with “professional” more verticalized relationships.Team.  The PRT is part of a broader team – an équipe of other “operators” (their word for staff) – in the Community Mental Health Center.  The other team members can help to weigh in on how to support the system user; the PRT is not left to his or her own devices.And, or course, all of this is grounded in the belief that a mental health system must support a person in all three pillars of one's life:  casa, lavoro e socializazzione, or housing, work/purpose and community.  The PRT must pay attention to each of these pillars to provide support for recovery. As we have researched this further, it appears that this role if fairly unique to Italy and was created to augment the psycho-social support that is an underpinning to the Italian model.  As described in one of the articles linked below, “Psychiatric rehabilitation technicians are trained to perform multidisciplinary rehabilitation and education interventions for people and their carers.”   Here are two articles about the role of the Psychiatric Research Technician. Psychiatric Rehabilitation in Italy:  Cinderella No More – The Contributions of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Technicians.  Internation Journal of Mental Health.   2016 Who cares for it?  How to provide psychosocial interventions in the community.  International Journal of Social Psychiatry.  2012  

What happens when someone experiencing a psychotic episode intentionally crashes into a motorcyclist they believe is a "demon"? This fascinating exploration of mental illness and legal liability takes us through a landmark BC case that transforms how we understand responsibility when reality breaks down.The distinction between criminal and civil liability becomes crucial as we follow the story of a man with no prior psychiatric history who suffered a complete psychotic break in 2018. While criminal law might find him not responsible due to mental disorder, civil law focuses on compensation rather than punishment. The judge's nuanced approach reveals how liability extends beyond just the final moment of incapacity—examining the gradual deterioration that preceded the collision provides vital context for understanding accountability.This case carries profound implications for anyone interested in mental health advocacy, legal rights, and public safety. The court's finding of both negligence and battery resulted in a substantial award to the injured voice actor while also creating complex insurance issues since intentional acts typically aren't covered by policies. Perhaps most strikingly, the vehicle owner—the driver's then-girlfriend—was also held liable despite her desperate attempts to prevent him from driving once she realized his condition.We also delve into a separate but equally compelling case involving a Green Party deputy leader whose sentence for criminal contempt was reduced on appeal due to a misapplication of the "step-up principle." This illuminating example shows how judicial sentencing is constrained by legal principles that ensure proportionality and fairness rather than simply escalating punishments for repeated offences.Whether you're a legal professional, mental health advocate, or simply curious about how our justice system navigates these complex intersections, this episode offers valuable insights into how responsibility, compensation, and accountability function when mental capacity is compromised. Share your thoughts on these rulings and join the conversation about where personal responsibility begins and ends.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

[NOTE: This podcast does not replace medical treatment. If you struggle with Lyme care, please see a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor.] Why does Lyme disease often hit women harder — physically, emotionally, and hormonally? In this powerful episode of Love, Hope, Lyme, I speak with Dr. Jaquel Patterson, a nationally-recognized naturopathic physician and author of Women and Lyme: An Integrative Guide to Better Health. Dr. Patterson shares her personal experience with Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia, and breaks down how tick-borne illness uniquely impacts women at every life stage — from menstruation to menopause. We explore the often-dismissed symptoms, the role of hormones, psychiatric implications, and the systemic gaps in care that many women face. Whether you're a woman navigating chronic Lyme, a loved one trying to understand, or a practitioner seeking deeper insight, this episode offers knowledge, validation, and hope.

In 2013, Oregon implemented a plan to expand access to home and community-based services for Medicaid recipients with intellectual, developmental or psychiatric disabilities. The goal was to allow more Oregonians to receive care at home rather than in an institution. While programs were established for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, no supports have been created for individuals under age 21 who require inpatient-level psychiatric care. Senate Bill 909 would require the Oregon Health Authority to establish criteria for that program and a pathway to services. Jessa Reinhardt is a parent and mental health advocate pushing for SB 909. She joins us with more details on the bill and what it could mean for families with children who have severe mental health needs.

California is increasingly relying on for-profit psychiatric hospitals to care for the tens of thousands of people experiencing serious mental health crises every year. But a new San Francisco Chronicle investigation finds that the companies that own these hospitals have “capitalized on lax state regulations to strip their workforces bare, generating massive earnings for investors and owners while exposing patients to erratic care, violence and deadly neglect.” We'll learn more from the reporters behind the investigative series “Failed to Death.” Guests: Joaquin Palomino, investigative reporter, San Francisco Chronicle Cynthia Dizikes, investigative reporter, San Francisco Chronicle Alexandra Del Cima, mental health technician from 2017 to 2019, Heritage Oaks Hospital

Of all the mental illnesses, schizophrenia eludes us the most. No matter the strides scientists have made in neurological research nor doctors have made in psychiatric treatment, schizophrenia remains misunderstood, complacently mythologized. Without a reason for the illness, patients feel even more alienated than they already do, families are left hopeless, and doctors struggle to provide accurate care. Steven Lesk, though, after a medical career dedicated to those affected by schizophrenia and a determination to find the answer to its existence, presents a groundbreaking theory that will forever change the lives of the mentally ill. In Footprints of Schizophrenia: The Evolutionary Roots of Madness, Lesk threads evolutionary evidence with neurological evidence, turning the mysteries of our minds into a tapestry of logic. With his breakthrough theory and this unprecedented book, Lesk will invite necessary cultural dialogue about this stigmatized illness, provoke new psychiatric and pharmacological research, and provide unequivocal comfort to those afflicted and affected by schizophrenia. https://www.amazon.com/Footprints-Schizophrenia-Evolutionary-Mental-Illness/dp/1633889289http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Michael Hayes, Deputy General Secretary of the Psychiatric Nurses Association, discusses the organisation's decision to begin industrial action this month.

The iatrogenic effects of psychiatry.Something is deeply wrong with the mental health system. Instead of leading to recovery, it often perpetuates cycles of dependency on therapy, medication, and diagnoses.Psychiatric diagnoses, which are unreliable to begin with, have become our identities rather than tools for recovery. While more people are going to therapy than ever before, our collective mental health isn't improving. For some disorders, such as ADHD and PTSD, medication is prioritized over education or therapy that teaches people how to cope; thus, we see medication as a cure-all and don't learn tools that can help us heal.As mental health awareness and interventions become increasingly common, we have to be aware of the iatrogenic effects—unintended, harmful consequences—of psychiatric diagnosis and treatment.Is psychiatry keeping us sick?You can read the Nir And Far blog post on: Is Psychiatry Keeping Us Sick? https://www.nirandfar.com/psychiatry-keeping-us-sick/Nir And Far, a podcast about business, behaviour and the brain by Nir Eyal.

This presentation by Dr. Descartes Li looks at some of the complexities and controversies about psychiatric diagnoses. It examines the DSM-5's "Harmful Dysfunction" definition, contrasting it with the NIMH's Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) project. The lecture also discusses philosophical approaches to understanding mental illness, including reductionism, cultural relativism, emergentism, and mechanistic approaches to psychiatric diagnosis. Finally, it outlines four perspectives for viewing mental disorders: disease, dimensional, behavioral, and life story, advocating for a comprehensive approach to diagnosis. About the Speaker Dr. Descartes Li is professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, Weill Institute for Neurosciences.

had spread its cold blanket over the landscape outside.No: Snøen dalte ned, mens de nakne grenene klippet den hvite himmelen.En: The snow was falling while the bare branches cut through the white sky.No: Inne var lysene sterke og veggene sterile.En: Inside, the lights were bright, and the walls were sterile.No: Det var stille for det meste, bare avbrutt av knirkingen av trinn eller en vag latter fra fjernsynet i dagligstuen.En: It was mostly quiet, only interrupted by the creaking of steps or a faint laugh from the television in the lounge.No: Ingrid tok et dypt pust og trakk tråden på kardiganen sin tettere rundt seg.En: Ingrid took a deep breath and wrapped the thread of her cardigan tighter around herself.No: Lars, en av sanitørene, passerte henne, på vei til vaktrommet med en kopp kaffe i hånden.En: Lars, one of the orderlies, passed her on his way to the staff room with a cup of coffee in his hand.No: "Hei, Ingrid," sa han vennlig.En: "Hi, Ingrid," he said kindly.No: "Alt i orden?En: "Everything alright?"No: ""Ja, takk," svarte hun, mens hun kjempet med en bølge av usikkerhet som ofte kom over henne.En: "Yes, thank you," she replied, while she battled a wave of uncertainty that often came over her.No: Hun visste hun måtte fokusere.En: She knew she had to focus.No: Pasientenes sikkerhet var viktigst.En: The safety of the patients was most important.No: Plutselig begynte alarmene å ringe.En: Suddenly, alarms started ringing.No: Den høye lyden slo som et tordenbrak gjennom korridorene.En: The loud sound crashed like thunder through the corridors.No: Siri, en erfaren sykepleier, kom løpende, et alvorlig uttrykk i ansiktet.En: Siri, an experienced nurse, came running with a serious expression on her face.No: "En pasient har rømt!En: "A patient has escaped!No: Vi må gjøre alt klart til lockdown.En: We need to prepare for lockdown."No: "Ingrid kjente hjerterytmen akselerere i brystet.En: Ingrid felt her heart rate accelerate in her chest.No: Hun strevde med pusten, minnene om tidligere angstfylte øyeblikk truet med å overvelde henne.En: She struggled with her breathing, memories of previous anxiety-filled moments threatening to overwhelm her.No: Men hun husket hva terapeuten hennes hadde sagt: "Pust rolig og fokuser på oppgaven foran deg.En: But she remembered what her therapist had said: "Breathe calmly and focus on the task at hand."No: "Hun begynte å puste dypt, langsomt.En: She began to breathe deeply, slowly.No: Først nølende, men så fastere.En: First hesitantly, but then more firmly.No: Nå måtte hun handle.En: Now she had to act.No: Ingen tid til å vakle.En: No time to waver.No: Hun og Siri låste dørene og kontrollerte vinduene, passet på at alle var på deres sikre steder.En: She and Siri locked the doors and checked the windows, making sure everyone was in their safe places.No: Da kom meldingen: den rømte pasienten var sett utenfor.En: Then came the message: the escaped patient was seen outside.No: Ingrid visste at hun måtte ut for å hjelpe.En: Ingrid knew she had to go out to help.No: Sammen med Siri åpnet hun døren og gikk ut i kulden.En: Together with Siri, she opened the door and stepped into the cold.No: Snøen dekket sporene, men til slutt så hun en skikkelse som lå delvis skjult bak et tre.En: The snow covered tracks, but eventually she saw a figure partially hidden behind a tree.No: Mannen skalv av kulde og forvirring.En: The man was shivering from cold and confusion.No: Ingrid nærmet seg sakte.En: Ingrid approached slowly.No: "Det er greit," sa hun med varm og rolig stemme.En: "It's okay," she said with a warm and calm voice.No: "Jeg vil hjelpe deg.En: "I want to help you."No: "Hun sto ved siden av ham, innover i snøen, og brukte hver pust for å holde seg samlet.En: She stood beside him, out in the snow, using each breath to keep herself composed.No: "Vi vil gå inn sammen.En: "We will go inside together.No: Kom, la oss hjelpe deg å få varmen igjen," fortsatte hun.En: Come, let us help you get warm again," she continued.No: Til slutt fikk hun pasienten til å reise seg forsiktig, med Lars og Siri sine assistanse.En: Eventually, she got the patient to rise gently, with the assistance of Lars and Siri.No: Ingrid kjente de kalde vindene bite i kinnene hennes, men strengheten i kulden føltes også mang en bekreftelse på hennes egen styrke.En: Ingrid felt the cold winds biting her cheeks, but the sharpness of the cold also felt like a confirmation of her own strength.No: De kom seg inn igjen i varme.En: They made it back inside to warmth.No: Hun brukte det hun hadde lært fra terapitimene.En: She used what she had learned from her therapy sessions.No: Hun forble rolig, samlet.En: She remained calm, composed.No: Etter alt var klart, satte hun seg ned et øyeblikk.En: After everything was settled, she sat down for a moment.No: Hun visste nå at hun kunne konfrontere sin angst.En: She now knew she could confront her anxiety.No: Hun kunne være der for pasientene.En: She could be there for the patients.No: Og kanskje, enda viktigere, kunne hun være der for seg selv.En: And maybe, even more importantly, she could be there for herself.No: Ingrid så ut

Send us a textIn this episode, we learn about the inner workings of two critical elements of the community-based ecosystem in Trieste:  the community mental health center (CMHC) and the psychiatric unit in the city's general hospital (known as the Psychiatric Diagnostic and Treatment Services or SPDC).  Tommaso Bonavigo, is a psychiatrist at the CMHC Maddalena.  He received his education at the Università degli studi di Trieste, graduating first as a doctor (2010) and then as a psychiatrist (2016).Alessandra Oretti is the interim director of the mental health department for the city of Trieste and also serves as the head of the central hospital's psychiatric unit.  She has worked in the Trieste mental health system dating back to 1994 and received her degree from the Università degli studi di Trieste in 1998. The Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Giuliano Isontina (ASUGI) is the Health Authority which services the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.  Oretti and Bonavigo  are part of the team of ASUGI experts in the following cooperation projects:RING project (INTEGRATED STRENGTHENING OF THE PALESTINIAN HEALTH SYSTEM) led by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) in the West Bank area (mainly in the psychiatric hospital of Bethlehem)DUSM project (Diritti umani e salute mentale dei detenuti ) in Albania, which means Human rights and mental health of the prisoners in Albania,  led by a consortium of Italian and Albanian NGOsCollaboration with East London Foundation Trust for developing a pilot CMHC which will remain open 24 hours In this interview, you will pick up on these themes:The importance of the therapeutic relationship which is based upon trust built up over time. How services are integrated in Trieste and the ways in which all the various people impacting a service user – the social worker, nurse, psychiatrist, police (if warranted) and others – create a team around a person.How accountability is assured through the designation of catchment areas – which denotes a territory for which the staff in a CMHC feel responsible for the people they serve. Resources: How a small Italian city became a model for mental health care.

Do psychiatric medications alter brain energy and metabolic health?Dr. Stephen Cunnane, a professor and researcher at the University of Sherbrooke, has been at the forefront of studying glucose and ketone metabolism in the aging brain, pioneering advanced imaging techniques to measure how the brain utilizes these critical energy sources with neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.While glucose PET imaging has long been used to study brain energy metabolism, Dr. Cunnane's team was the first to develop ketone PET imaging, allowing researchers to look at the relationship between glucose and ketone metabolism in the brain and understand how ketones support brain function when it struggles to use glucose for energy.Now, Dr. Cunnane has turned his attention to metabolic psychiatry and is working on a new study looking at brain energy metabolism in individuals experiencing first-episode psychosis. This study will allow researchers insights into the metabolic state of the brain at the onset of major mental illness and how psychiatric medications influence brain energy use.In this episode, you will learn:How the brain uses fuel as we age – Why glucose metabolism declines over time and how ketones may compensate in aging and neurodegenerative conditions.The first ketone PET imaging studies – How Dr. Cunnane's team developed a method to directly measure ketone uptake in the brain and compare it to glucose metabolismPsychosis and brain energy metabolism – Examining glucose and ketone utilization in first-episode psychosis before and after antipsychotic treatment.Carbohydrate reduction in older adults – Findings from a study showing how moderate carb restriction improved metabolic and mental health in retirement home residents independent of weight loss.Parkinson's disease and ketones – Investigating how exercise, exogenous ketones, and carbohydrate restriction may enhance brain energy supply and improve symptoms.Dr. Cunnane has been a pioneer in the field of ketogenic therapy and brain energy. In addition to all the incredible work he is doing in the aging brain, we are excited to see his new research focusing on such critical components of metabolic psychiatry.Expert Featured:Dr. Stephen Cunnanehttps://recherche-cerveau-sherbrooke.ca/en/laboratory-team/Studies MentionedA reduced carbohydrate diet improves glycemic regulation in hyperglycemic older people in a retirement home: the SAGE studyhttps://doi.org/10.1139/apnm-2024-0277Resources MentionedBrain Research Team Websitehttps://recherche-cerveau-sherbrooke.ca/en/Revolutionizing Assisted Living: Hal Cranmer's Ketogenic & Carnivore Approach to Senior Wellnesshttps://youtu.be/s86CFw0qhVc?feature=sharedFollow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.Learn more about metabolic psychiatry and find helpful resources athttps://metabolicmind.org/About us:Metabolic Mind is a non-profit initiative of Baszucki Group working to transform the study and treatment of mental disorders by exploring the connection between metabolism and brain health.

Psychiatric medications are often prescribed at an alarming rate. What people don't know is that while these medications may provide short-term relief, they don't always address the root cause—especially in complex conditions like PANS and PANDAS. In many cases, these medications come with significant side effects. If we truly want lasting healing, we need to look beyond symptom management and focus on addressing the underlying factors that drive these conditions.By shifting our focus from masking symptoms to true healing, we can help children and families break free from the cycle of these conditions. In this episode, we'll talk more about why psychiatric medications are often a short-term solution rather than a true fix, the risks and side effects that parents need to be aware of, and why addressing the root cause is key to long-term recovery.Not sure where to start?

The New Year often brings a whirlwind of pressure to reinvent ourselves, leading us to set unrealistic goals. In this final podcast episode of the year, I’m challenging you to consider what it might look like to spend these final days of 2024 reflecting, reframing, and being present rather than rushing ahead. Please welcome meditation teacher Dora Kamau as our guest for this week. She is here to discuss how we might welcome in the new year by practicing mindfulness. With a background in Psychology and Psychiatric nursing, Dora leads workshops, events, and retreats to hold space for individuals to explore different expressions of presence. You may recognize Dora’s voice, as she is also a meditation teacher at Headspace, a leading mindfulness and meditation app. Together, Dora and I unpacked some of the common anxieties that come up at the dawn of a new year, explored what it looks like to shift from making New Year’s resolutions to simply setting intentions, and gave tips for how you can incorporate mindfulness activities like journaling, meditating, and affirmation-setting into our daily lives as we enter 2025. And as a special end-of-the-year treat, we’ve included a 10-minute meditation from Dora to support you in easing any lingering worries as we head into 2025. About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.
