Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
A forensic psychiatrist and a Duxbury police sergeant gave two very different but equally pointed pieces of testimony this week in the Lindsay Clancy trial. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is charged with three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the deaths of her children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — who prosecutors allege she strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Dr. Jhilam Biswas, a forensic psychiatrist, walked the court through her initial assessment of Clancy, including how she evaluated her for safety and state of mind. Biswas testified that symptoms of psychosis vary widely from person to person — then told jurors that in the roughly 20 minutes she spent communicating with Clancy, she saw no signs of active psychosis. That's a number the defense is not going to love repeated.Sgt. Robert Flynn of the Duxbury Police Department testified about being present when State Police executed the search warrant at the home. He stated there was no damage to the window or screen involved in Clancy's alleged fall, and confirmed State Police took over the investigation from there.Clancy is accused of attempting suicide after the killings by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The mental-health testimony everyone's been waiting for showed up this week in the Lindsay Clancy trial, courtesy of psychiatrist Dr. Sejal Shah, who treated Clancy during her hospital stay. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is charged with three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the deaths of her children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — who prosecutors allege she strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Shah described Clancy experiencing delirium in the hospital and testified that Clancy changed her health care proxy to her parents during that period — a procedural detail that ends up saying a lot about her state of mind at the time. Shah also gave the court a broader picture of Clancy's mental health, testimony both sides will likely revisit heavily as this trial moves forward.After the alleged killings, Clancy is accused of attempting suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was running errands when it happened and has since relocated to Manhattan, where he's spoken publicly about his wife's mental health. The trial is underway in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Dr. Sejal Shah, a psychiatrist involved in Lindsay Clancy's hospital treatment, testified this week, and her account moves the trial squarely into the medical territory the defense has been building toward. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation over the deaths of her children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — who prosecutors allege she strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is arguing an insanity defense rooted in severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Shah testified about Clancy experiencing delirium during her hospital stay and told the court Clancy changed her health care proxy over to her parents — a decision that, however it gets read by either side, says something about where things stood. Shah went on to describe Clancy's broader mental health picture at the time, testimony that's likely to sit at the center of both the prosecution's and the defense's closing arguments once this trial gets there.The alleged strangulations were followed by an alleged suicide attempt — Clancy is said to have jumped from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands during the killings and has since relocated to Manhattan, where he's spoken to the press about his wife's mental health. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

**This episode is general information only and is not medical advice. If any of it applies to you, please talk it through with your own GP or psychiatrist**Have you ever walked out of a psychiatrist's office more confused than when you walked in? Not sure what just happened, whether you got a diagnosis, what you were supposed to ask, or whether the thing you were terrified of — coming across like you were just there for the stimulants — is exactly what you did. For a lot of women getting an ADHD assessment at 40, the appointment itself is the black box. Nobody tells you the order to see a GP, psychologist and psychiatrist in, what happens if your school reports are gone and your parents have died, why they start you on one medication and not another, or what a drug holiday actually is.So this week Jane sat a psychiatrist down and asked him to open the box. Dr Brendan Daugherty walks through the whole thing — the pathway, the assessment, how they choose your first medication, and the one thing that makes these appointments go better. Bring the questions you've been too embarrassed to ask.CHAPTERS00:00 — Walking out more confused than when you walked in02:36 — GP, psychologist, psychiatrist — the actual order, and when to skip a step04:38 — Have the waitlists really improved?

Dr. Utter shares her clinical perspective on why psychiatrists ask about sleep, social history, and lifestyle, and how medication acts as a collaborative tool to reduce symptom intensity rather than a quick fix. Whether you are curious about starting psychiatric care or deciding between virtual and clinic visits, this episode offers a practical, reassuring roadmap for your mental health journey. Tune in to Discover: What to Expect at a First Visit: Why initial psychiatric intakes last over an hour and why providers ask broad questions about medical history, sleep, and lifestyle. Virtual vs. In-Person Care: The unique benefits of virtual psychiatry (convenience, accessibility) compared to in-person care (physical exams, tracking specific movement side effects). The "Lowest Effective Dose" Principle: How psychiatrists avoid over-medication and polypharmacy by starting low, titrating slowly, and prioritizing evidence-based, non-medication recommendations. How Medications Actually Work: A simplified look at how SSRIs support brain plasticity and why full benefits can take 6 to 8 weeks as new neural connections form. The Traction Analogy: How medication and therapy work together to help patients stop "spinning their wheels" and make meaningful progress.

Many people know the term “bipolar disorder,” but few understand what mania actually looks like, how depression presents, or why recognizing the warning signs can be so difficult. In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with ADAA (Anxiety and Depression Association of America) Member expert Bruce M. Cohen, MD, PhD. Dr. Cohen is a psychiatrist, Harvard Medical School professor, and former president and psychiatrist-in-chief of McLean Hospital. Together, they break down the realities of bipolar disorder, including the differences between bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymia. Listeners will learn: how some risk-taking behaviors could be warning signs how distinguishing bipolar from personality traits requires careful evaluation how caregivers need support and self-care to be effective They also tackle an important question: When is someone simply energetic, dramatic, or outgoing — and when could those traits point to a mental health condition? Using real-world examples and decades of clinical experience, Dr. Cohen explains how mental health professionals distinguish personality from illness. If you've ever wondered what bipolar disorder really looks like — or how to help someone who may be struggling — this episode is for you. We would like to thank McLean Hospital for providing educational support for this episode. “I've been doing this for 50 years and I've focused on psychotic disorders and bipolar disorders. [. . .] Most of them lead good lives and they're successful.” ~Bruce M. Cohen, MD, PhD Our guest, Bruce M. Cohen, MD, PhD, is the Robertson-Steele Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and President/Psychiatrist-in-Chief Emeritus at McLean Hospital. Currently, as Director of the Program for Neuropsychiatric Research at McLean/Mass General Brigham, he leads a consortium using cell culture, genomic, pharmacologic, brain imaging, and clinical studies to increase understanding and develop new treatments for psychiatric disorders. This work is particularly focused on identifying inherent factors that might be modulated to reduce the risk of illness. Convergent evidence from these studies highlights key factors underlying risk for illness, prominently including abnormalities of energy production and brain cell growth and maturation. These abnormalities affect brain development, brain remodeling during adolescence, and brain repair with age. In addition, his work has documented evidence-based dimensional approaches for diagnosing psychiatric disorders that describe each person seeking treatment more accurately and thoroughly than standard diagnostic models. Collaborating investigators work at McLean, the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, and international sites. Following undergraduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and graduate (molecular genetic) and medical studies at Case Western Reserve University, Dr. Cohen completed his residency training at McLean. He was co-founder of a Clinical Research Center, founding Director of McLean's Brain Imaging Center, and director of McLean's Residency Training Program, and a Vice President at McLean, before becoming President and Psychiatrist-in-Chief of the hospital. Under his leadership, McLean, which was struggling financially, established over 30 new programs, became financially stable and grew to treat more patients, perform more research, and teach more trainees than at any time in its distinguished history. He has taught locally, at McLean, Harvard Medical School, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as lecturing nationally and worldwide to academic and lay audiences. He has directed continuously funded translational research projects and centers for 48 years. Dr. Cohen has over 400 publications and 5 awarded patents. He authored one popular book for lay audiences and has chapters in 19 textbooks. He has consulted to industry and clinical centers. He has been featured in national publications as one of the best doctors in America, been named Psychiatrist of the Year twice by the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Massachusetts, and has won awards for research, teaching, and clinical care. 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. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

With special guest: Prof Ian Hickie AO… in conversation with Bill Kable We often hear about the rise in the rate of depression and anxiety in our community. The stigma of poor mental health has been reduced significantly so that sports stars such as Greg Inglis can now go on television and discuss their personal battles with depression without fear of any repercussions. But even when so many people are opening up about their mental health battles there are questions we are left with. These might include what can be done to improve mental health without lining up for perhaps a year to see a Psychiatrist? What are the signs to be wary about? This is where Professor Ian Hickie enters the picture as we speak with him today. This new book A User’s Guide to the Mind is written along similar lines as a good health guide for our physical health. It is written with all ages in mind and can be dipped into for particular topics. We often hear about good mental health. But what does that mean? From Ian’s answer we can readily see that this is not a set and forget condition. There are lots of helpful suggestions from the authors on how we can nurture and protect this precious asset.

Hosts Ryan and Mike work through five real listener questions covering some of the most common — and most misunderstood — challenges of raising kids with ADHD: a six-year-old with borderline intellectual functioning caught between a cautious school and a hands-off psychiatrist, a ten-year-old with total time blindness for non-preferred activities, sibling conflict where the hosts openly diverge on whether to hold the older child more accountable or redirect the younger one, a physically aggressive first-grader stuck in a cycle of ineffective next-day suspensions, and a fifteen-year-old with ADHD, anxiety, OCD, and autism who avoids school at the first sign of feeling unwell. The thread running through all five: executive functioning is environment-dependent, and parental accommodation — however loving — tends to make avoidance and anxiety worse rather than better.Find Mike @ www.grownowadhd.com & on IGFind Ryan @ www.adhddude.com & on Youtube{{chapters}}[00:00:00] Start[00:00:52] Borderline Functioning: School vs. Psychiatrist[00:05:16] Time Blindness and Non-Preferred Activities[00:09:03] Sibling Conflict and the Dopamine Cycle[00:15:15] Aggression, Suspensions, and Brain Breaks[00:22:28] Autism, Illness Avoidance, and School Refusal

In this episode, Dr. Lorne Brown sits down with psychiatrist and neurotechnology expert Dr. Cody Rall to explore the rapidly evolving world of brain optimization, wearable technology, meditation, burnout recovery, and cognitive performance. Drawing on his experience as a Navy-trained psychiatrist and founder of Tech For Psych, Cody explains how tools like EEG, heart rate variability tracking, neurofeedback, and photobiomodulation can help us better understand brain function and build resilience.The conversation dives into burnout, brain flexibility, meditation, psychedelics, red light therapy, and the future of personalized health coaching. Together, they examine how objective data can guide meaningful behavior change while emphasizing that technology works best when combined with daily practices that support long-term mental and emotional well-being.Key Takeaways:Brain health is less about performance and more about adaptability and recovery.Wearable technology can provide valuable insights, but context and coaching remain essential.Burnout often reflects an inability to shift between “go mode” and “rest mode.”Meditation, sleep, movement, and emotional processing remain foundational—even with advanced technology.Photobiomodulation and neurotechnology may help support cognition, recovery, and resilience when used consistently and appropriately.Where to find Dr. Cody Rall:Website: https://techforpsych.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/codyrallmd_techforpsych/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TechforpsychYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@codyrallmdDr. Cody Rall's Bio:Dr. Cody Rall, M.D., is a United States Navy trained Psychiatrist who specializes in neurotechnology wearables.

A prescription is supposed to help you get your life back. What happens when it quietly takes it away instead? I sit down with Stephanie Starr, a program manager and graduate student, whose search for mental health support after a traumatic birth turned into a devastating chain of misdiagnosis, escalating medications, and loss of trust in healthcare.Stephanie walks us through being told she had bipolar disorder, being put on a rotating “cocktail” of psychiatric meds, and how side effects and instability can snowball into riskier choices, deeper shame, and substance use. We talk openly about benzodiazepines, the warning signs of a pill mill style clinic, and why “just follow doctor's orders” is not enough when the diagnosis is shaky and the treatment plan only involves more and more medication. Her story also includes the realities of trauma, a suicide attempt, and the way stigma can show up in the very places people go for help.From there, we shift into recovery and what actually sustains it. Stephanie shares how faith and a higher power became central for her, while also naming the harm that can happen in faith-based recovery spaces that push “just pray it away” thinking or shame people who need medication. We dig into emotional sobriety, AA-style accountability, therapy tools like EMDR, and how learning to tolerate discomfort can be a turning point in addiction recovery.If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find the show.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

How psychiatrist Dr. Duncan Gill transitioned from employee to entrepreneur and built a thriving behavioral health practice serving children, teens, and families. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/611-duncan-gill-practice-owner/ How psychiatrist Dr. Duncan Gill transitioned from employee to entrepreneur and built a thriving behavioral health practice serving children, teens, and families. Many highly trained professionals discover that technical expertise alone is not enough to build a successful business. In this episode, Henry Lopez speaks with Dr. Duncan Gill, founder of Direction Behavioral Health, about his journey from practicing psychiatrist to entrepreneur and business owner. Duncan shares how frustration with bureaucracy and a desire to serve patients differently led him to launch his own behavioral health practice. They discuss the challenges of transitioning from clinician to business leader, including hiring and managing employees, navigating partnerships, delegating responsibility, monitoring key performance indicators, and building systems that allow the business to grow beyond the founder. Duncan also shares why creativity, adaptability, and a willingness to take calculated risks have been critical to his success. He reflects on the lessons he learned from building a team, expanding facilities, and creating a practice that serves children, teens, and families while providing him with the freedom to pursue other interests, including music. This conversation offers valuable insights not only for healthcare professionals but for any entrepreneur seeking to build a business that can grow beyond their direct involvement.

Psychiatrist, researcher and brain-body medicine specialist Dr. Jessica Eccles joins Ben for a fascinating conversation about the overlooked physical side of neurodivergence - and why ADHD and autism are often talked about as “brain-only” experiences when the body is deeply involved too.Dr Jess is an Associate Professor in Brain-Body Medicine at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, a Consultant Psychiatrist within the Sussex Partnership NHS Neurodevelopmental Service, and co-leads the world's first Neurodivergent Brain-Body Clinic. Her pioneering research explores the links between neurodivergence, hypermobility, chronic illness, inflammation, autonomic dysfunction, pain, fatigue and mental health - challenging the long-standing divide between “physical” and “mental” health.Dr Jess explains the growing research linking neurodivergence with chronic illnesses, pain, hypermobility, fatigue, inflammation, eating disorders, nervous system dysregulation and temperature sensitivity. Together, they unpack why so many neurodivergent people describe feeling physically overwhelmed, burnt out or “unsafe” in their own body - and why those experiences are so often misunderstood or dismissed in the healthcare system.This episode is about joining the dots between brain and body - and understanding why so many neurodivergent people have spent years feeling unheard in healthcare, while quietly trying to make sense of symptoms nobody seemed able to connect.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction01:42 Dr Jess Eccles: Why Neurodivergence Is About The Brain AND Body04:18 ADHD, Autism & Chronic Illness: The Overlap Explained07:36 Why So Many Neurodivergent People Feel Physically Dysregulated10:15 ADHD, Autism & Temperature Regulation12:06 Eating Disorders, ADHD & Autism16:08 Why Neurodivergent People Are Often Misunderstood In Healthcare19:42 The Nervous System, Stress & Survival Mode23:30 Trauma Isn't Always Psychological27:12 The Link Between Inflammation & Mental Health31:28 What Is Hypermobility - And Why Does It Matter?36:14 Autism, ADHD & Physical Health Research Findings42:20 Why So Many ND Women Are Misdiagnosed47:48 The Danger Of Separating Mental & Physical Health52:09 What Dr Jess Wishes More Doctors Understood About Neurodivergence56:17 Why Research Takes So Long To Reach The Public59:12 Inside The World's First Neurodivergent Brain-Body Clinic1:05:42 Supporting Your Neurodivergent Nervous System1:09:38 Dr Jess's Green Dot BadgeThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

Think about the last time you tried to work on yourself. Chances are you started with a list of everything that's wrong with you — what you don't like, what you should be doing, and what you want to "fix." But what if thinking about yourself as "broken" is the thing that's keeping you stuck? My guest today is Dr. Paul Conti, a Harvard- and Stanford-trained psychiatrist who runs the group practice Pacific Premier Group. He started out in the business world, but after losing his brother to suicide, he turned to mental health full-time. He's the author of Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic and his new book, What's Going Right. Some of the things we discuss are: Why leading with "what's wrong with me" might make you avoid looking at your mental health altogether How losing his brother to suicide changed how Dr. Conti sees high-functioning people who are silently struggling The three drives that shape your mental health — and the one that determines whether you actually feel happy with your life Why high-functioning, hard-working people often have a low generative drive without realizing it Why doing more isn't always the answer — and when doing less is a better choice The two completely opposite stories you can tell about your own life (and why you get to choose which one is true) The question to ask yourself every morning that shifts you out of dread Related Episodes 236 — 10 Myths About Mental Health That Are Holding You Back 308 — Pause.

NOW THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE NUREMBERG STARRING RUSSELL CROWE AND RAMI MALEKIn 1945, an improbable relationship between the fallen Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goering, and ambitious US Army physician, Douglas Kelley, becomes a hazardous quest into the nature of evil“The book is a page turner.”—NPRA New York Times BestsllerIn 1945, after his capture at the end of the Second World War, Hermann Göring arrived at an American-run detention center in war-torn Luxembourg, accompanied by sixteen suitcases and a red hatbox. Joining him in the detention center were fifty-one senior Nazis, of whom Göring was the dominant figure. To ensure that the captives were fit for trial at Nuremberg, the US army sent an ambitious army psychiatrist, Captain Douglas M. Kelley, to supervise and evaluate them. To Kelley, it was the professional opportunity of a lifetime: to discover a distinguishing trait among these arch-criminals that would mark them as psychologically different from the rest of humanity. But Kelley's quest would prove to be a dangerous one. The more he spoke with the Nazi captives, the more he began to understand and appreciate their perspective—and the more he would fall for their charms.https://amzn.to/4xb09VdBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

This is a translation from the famous Jim Rohn quote: "You are teh average of the five people you spend the most time with." This is about that psychological shift, when you start changing the people that are around you. I've said this years ago, it doesn't mean you have to cut them out of your life. Some distance is necessary when you are looking for growth. If they don't respect that, if you respect them enough, and you want them to respect you in return, and you must let them know that. If you do not, they will still continue to not take that seriously, then you need to give them a break. This is important when you're trying to grow, so you can help them in the future, or those around you, and it's like, hey guys, I need to take a pause. There you go, ladies and gentlemen, great combo. I'm gonna sum this up. We're here to FUEL your health, business, a lifestyle.

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown in honor of Mental Health Month, Dr. Paul Conti (psychiatrist & President of Pacific Premier Group PC) reveals why focusing on what's wrong with you may actually be keeping you stuck, and how a completely different approach can unlock resilience, hope, and real change. We dive into the shocking truth that MORE THAN HALF of physical health issues may originate from mental health, and why treating symptoms alone (with medication or endless information) often misses the root cause entirely. You'll learn why overdiagnosis is more dangerous than you think, how self-fulfilling prophecies quietly shape your reality, and why “feeling fine” might be the biggest thing holding you back. Dr. Conti breaks down the hidden long-term effects of trauma, including how it impacts longevity and can even be passed down genetically, and why the cycle of intergenerational trauma can stop with you. He shares his personal story, the critical difference between grief and trauma, and why letting go of guilt and shame is essential for true healing. We explore why mental health stigma still exists despite everyone talking about it, why it's so emotionally difficult to examine your own mind, and why you can't separate mental and physical health, no matter how much we try. We also discuss: - Hidden root behind multiple symptoms you didn't know were connected - Why more information won't help unless you can actually apply it - Surprising reason relief from distress doesn't equal happiness - How your recurring thoughts may be shaping your entire life - Why giving back can make you feel whole in ways nothing else can Plus, we tackle some of the most controversial topics in modern mental health: - When medication should (and shouldn't) be used - Dangers of turning to AI for therapy - Why elevating science to the level of “truth” can actually limit human growth Most importantly, Dr. Conti introduces a powerful, practical framework: using compassionate curiosity to re-examine your life story - so you can begin healing, even without professional therapy. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're missing something important about your own mind, this conversation might change how you see yourself forever!
