Podcasts about psychiatric medication

The Radically Genuine podcast welcomes back renowned Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) physician Dr. Adam Urato as he pulls back the curtain on what pregnant women aren't being told about medication risks. Why are doctors spending less than ten minutes on "informed consent" when your child's future is at stake? What caused one medical intervention to be injected into 350,000 pregnant women despite not actually working? Dr. Urato reveals why corporate medicine makes it nearly impossible for physicians to tell patients the truth and explains his bold mission to change FDA labeling. This conversation will force you to question everything you thought you knew about "safe" medications during pregnancy.Chapters00:00 The Vulnerability of Unborn Children02:30 Introduction of Dr. Adam Urato04:08 The Case of McKenna: A Systemic Failure11:17 The Need for Rigorous Safety Evaluations16:33 Chronic Disease Epidemic and Chemical Exposures23:16 Mental Health and Pregnancy: A Complex Debate39:14 Fear Provocation and Informed Consent43:20 Informed Consent and Patient Empowerment46:36 The Challenges of Time in Medical Practice53:09 Risks and Benefits of Psychiatric Medications01:01:05 The Role of Physicians in Patient Advocacy01:06:04 Citizen's Petition and FDA Labeling Changes01:18:00 The Importance of Open Dialogue in Medicine RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

He explains that post-traumatic growth has been written about and experienced throughout history, but it is not widely recognized in the field of mental health. The conversation also touches on the limitations of diagnostic labels and the importance of focusing on wellness and prevention in mental health. Dr. Tedeschi describes the work of Boulder Crest Foundation, which provides programs for veterans and first responders to promote post-traumatic growth. The conversation explores the challenges faced by veterans transitioning back to civilian life and the importance of post-traumatic growth. It emphasizes the need for connection, purpose, and belonging, and the difficulty of navigating a new way of being after leaving the military.

The use of peer support and group work is discussed as a powerful tool for healing and growth. The scalability of mental health services and the role of psychiatric medications are also touched upon.TakeawaysPost-traumatic growth is the ability to turn traumatic experiences into something positive and transformative.The concept of post-traumatic growth has been written about and experienced throughout history, but it is not widely recognized in the field of mental health.Diagnostic labels in mental health focus on problems and disorders, but there is more to people's lives than just these labels.There is a shift towards focusing on wellness and prevention in mental health.Boulder Crest Foundation provides programs for veterans and first responders to promote post-traumatic growth. Transitioning back to civilian life can be challenging for veterans, as they have to navigate a new way of being and confront old issues that may not have been resolved before entering the military.Connection, purpose, and belonging are essential for veterans to feel fulfilled and satisfied in their post-military lives.Understanding one's personal narrative and using it to define a new mission is crucial for post-traumatic growth.Peer support and group work can be powerful tools for healing and growth, as they provide a sense of universality and momentum.Scalability is a significant challenge in mental health services, and a peer-centered approach can help meet the tremendous mental health needs in the country.Psychiatric medications can be helpful for some individuals, but overprescription may occur due to the lack of resources and the avoidance of addressing underlying issues.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Post-Traumatic Growth01:36 The Limitations of Diagnostic Labels03:26 Dr. Tedeschi's Journey into Studying Post-Traumatic Growth06:25 Defining Wisdom in Psychology09:39 Working with Veterans11:06 Challenges Faced by Veterans14:09 The Impact of Troubled Homes on Veterans15:08 The Difficulty of Leaving the Military18:07 Introduction to Post-Traumatic Growth20:29 Shifting Mental Health Focus26:35 The Importance of Understanding Psychological Systems29:19 Exploring Personal Narratives and Trauma33:38 The Power of Disclosure and Emotional Work50:37 Peer Support and Mental Health01:01:12 Psychiatric Medications and Mental Health TreatmentLinks:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoulderCrestFoundation/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bouldercrestfoundation/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@BoulderCrestFoundationLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bouldercrestfoundation/Website: https://bouldercrest.org/

Rachel Earls, Ph.D., outlines the roles, science, and limitations of this powerful clinical tool for the selection of medication. They guide us on how a person metabolizes many medications, and so it helps get proper doses for better efficacy and fewer side effects. It does not predict outcome, but greatly assists with treatment choices. She speaks to the differences between labs that require a medical prescription versus the direct to the consumer labs.

Episode 3 of The Empower Energy Technique (EET) Healing Series: Healing from Dependency on Psychiatric MedicationsI am excited to start The Empower Energy Technique (EET) Healing Series which share the EETs that I've done over the years with my patients that have been particularly useful for my patients and can be universally helpful for others.To start this series, I've created three different YouTube videos and podcasts. The first is a brief introduction to EET and will walk you through an EET session that addresses negative self-judgment and regret. This third episode of the EET Healing Series targets healing from dependency on psychiatric medications. Of course, I recommend working with a holistic and integrative psychiatrist on this issue, but not everyone can afford a holistic psychiatrist, so this EET is meant to provide some energy-healing support to those who want to get off their psychiatric medications but can't afford holistic medical treatment and follow-up. The EET focuses on improving the neurological system and minimizing damage and hypersensitivities that come from psychiatric medication exposure. Using universal principles of energy medicine: intention, visualization, Life Energy, words, ideas, and focus, we use the mind as a tool to facilitate healing at the energy level.There will be more EETs to come, so please subscribe to my YouTube and podcast channels for EET Healing Techniques that will be posted soon!Have a great week!Click here to listen to all of The Holistic Psychiatrist Podcast episodes If you like this podcast, please give it a 5-star rating and share this with others!

Dr. Raghu Kiran Appasani and author Brooke Siem join us for a nuanced discussion about the complexities of prescribing psychiatric medications to children. They explore the importance of informed consent, the inadequacies of the current mental health system, and the societal shift toward over-medicalizing everyday life challenges.  Both Brooke, as an advocate with personal experience, and Dr. Raghu, from a medical perspective, agree on the need for a multifaceted approach to mental health treatment, moving beyond reliance on medication alone. However, they disagree on the best path forward and share their perspectives. To learn more -- or read the transcript -- please visit the official episode page. “When people come to me and they ask me these questions, they are never thriving, which is another piece of anecdata for me, that just shows that these drugs don't really work long term. I mean, I honestly have not met one single person who has been medicated for, let's say, more than 2 to 3 years for depression, who says they're thriving. I hear them say they're coping. They're, you know, they're okay. They're fine. That's kind of the best it gets. They're never living their best life. And so I think we just really attribute a lot of that to just like, oh, it's just being an adult, you know, life's hard and then you die type of attitude.” ~Brooke Siem Our guest, Brooke Siem (@brookesiem), is both a chef to professional athletes and the surprising face of psychiatric drug withdrawal awareness and advocacy.

In 1980, about 1 in 100 children in the US were taking psychiatric medications. Today, that number is 1 in 10. Even more shockingly, 1% of 3-year-olds in the US are taking psychiatric medications. Across the board, 1 in 5 Americans takes daily psychiatric medications, including antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, mood stabilizers, and sleeping pills — and these numbers continue to rise.  Presumably, humans haven't changed in the past 40 years, so why has the way we are treating their symptoms changed? Join us as Dr. David Cohen looks at psychoactive drugs and how their desirable and undesirable effects have been constructed for society through language, policy, attitudes, and social interactions. Today's two-part episode looks at how we got here, examines the possible implications for our society, and attempts to answer the question, “Is this the best medical treatment available?” Please note, this is part 2 of 2. The first episode is titled "Do We Medicate Normal Behaviors? With Dr. David Cohen (Part 1/2)" and is available on your favorite player. To learn more -- or read the transcript -- please visit the official episode page. For 20+ years our guest, Professor David Cohen, has been doing research on psychoactive drugs (prescribed, licit, and illicit) and their desirable and undesirable effects. He has also authored and co-authored over 120 articles and book chapters on these and other subjects. Recently he was one of the main experts interviewed in “Medicating Normal,” an in-depth documentary about the overuse and harmful impact of commonly prescribed psychiatric drugs. About 1 in 5 Americans takes daily psychiatric medications, including antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, mood stabilizers, and sleeping pills. Most people take them for months and years. While these medications can provide effective short-term relief, Dr. David estimates about 30–35% of regular users experience harm and/or are made worse by the drugs. But the real percentage could be higher because harms are not studied carefully. Driven by profit, pharmaceutical companies, which spend billions of dollars annually promoting psychiatric drugs, keep evading the serious study of the dangers and long-term harms these drugs can cause. And no other responsible agency is taking up the slack. 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.

Can you successfully lose weight that you've gained from antipsychotics and other psychiatric medications for bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, and other mental health disorders? Dr. Matthew Bernstein faces this question daily in his psychiatric practice and believes a combination of ketogenic therapy and medications like Wegovy or Ozempic may lead to sustained weight loss - as long as it is done safely and with a plan. Dr. Bernstein also acknowledges that stubborn weight gain is a common side effect of psychiatric medications that standard "diet and exercise" weight loss advice doesn't address. Will GLP1 agonist weight loss drugs become the norm? Or should ketogenic therapy be the first-line therapy? These are ongoing questions patients and doctors will have to keep asking as this field evolves.
