In a panel discussion hosted by the Sadhguru Center for a Conscious Planet and moderated by Matcheri Keshavan (Professor, Harvard Medical School), Sadhguru, Swami Sarvapriyananda (Minister & Spiritual Leader, Vedanta Society of New York), John Torous (Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Director of Digital Psychiatry at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center), Dr. Vikram Patel (Paul Farmer Professor & Chair of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School), and Dr. Shirley Yen (Associate Professor of Psychology, Harvard Medical School) explored artificial intelligence, mental health, and consciousness. The discussion tackled some of humanity's biggest existential questions – whether AI can replace human beings and whether a mental health crisis is imminent.

When Ashley Womble decides she wants to start a family, she worries she'll need to stop taking her antidepressant medication. Instead of finding clear guidance, she runs head-first into a troubling reality: many of the questions pregnant women and their physicians face about medication safety remain difficult to answer because pregnant women have historically been excluded from medical research. This episode looks at the ethical trade offs of leaving pregnant women out of medical research—and what happens when they and their doctors must make high stakes healthcare decisions without high quality evidence.This episode features:Ashley Womble, MPH: Writer and marketing professional.Ruth Faden, PhD, MPH: Philip Franklin Wagley Professor of Biomedical Ethics at the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics.Crystal Clark, MD, MSc: Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto.Marika Toscano, MD, MS: Assistant Professor of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.This episode contains references to suicide, which may be distressing for some listeners.

“Is this a problem to be solved — or a truth to be accepted?” – Dr. Sue Varma  LINKS:  Dr. Sue Varma's website: https://www.doctorsuevarma.com/  Practical Optimism: https://www.doctorsuevarma.com/practical-optimism/  Follow Dr. Sue Varma on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorsuevarma/  Age Better Cheat Sheet on Substack: https://barbarahannahgrufferman.substack.com/  Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/barbarahannahgrufferman/  In this episode of AGE BETTER, I'm joined by Dr. Sue Varma, a board-certified psychiatrist, Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health, and author of Practical Optimism: The Art, Science, and Practice of Exceptional Well-Being.  This is not a conversation about pretending everything is fine.  It's not about forced positivity, ignoring the hard things, or telling yourself to “just look on the bright side.”  Instead, Dr. Sue explains how practical optimism helps us face reality with more clarity, more courage, and more action.  We talk about why optimism is not simply something you're born with — it is something you can practice. Dr. Sue shares how to interrupt worst-case-scenario thinking, how to stop spiraling, and how to begin asking better questions when fear takes over.  We also talk about something so many women in midlife and beyond are thinking about: purpose. What happens when your roles shift, your children need you less, your work life changes, your relationships evolve, or you find yourself wondering, “What now?” Dr. Sue offers a refreshing way to think about purpose that does not require a grand mission. Sometimes it starts with the small things we choose to place on our calendar.  You'll also hear her simple approach to processing difficult emotions instead of pushing them aside: name it, claim it, tame it, and reframe it. And we talk about the powerful connection between emotional health and physical well-being — because, as Dr. Sue says, the body often tells the truth before we do.  We also get into loneliness, connection, community, and the surprising difference between being lonely and learning how to enjoy your own company. Dr. Sue explains why we need both a people practice and an aloneness practice — and why small, everyday moments of connection may matter more than we think.  This episode is filled with practical tools you can use right away, including the four M's of mental health: movement, mastery, mindfulness, and meaningful engagement.  If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, uncertain, or ready to approach this next chapter with more strength, hope, and self-trust, this conversation is for you.  Please follow or subscribe to AGE BETTER wherever you listen. And if this episode helped you, please leave a review — it truly helps more women find the show.  You can also follow me on Instagram at @barbarahannahgrufferman, and subscribe to Age Better Cheat Sheet on Substack for more practical, science-backed tools to help you live stronger, longer, and better.

In this episode, I explore why failure is not something to hide, but something to study, share, and even celebrate. Drawing inspiration from the “Flops” exhibition at the Musée des Arts et Métiers, I look at how psychology, religion, science, and art all reveal the same truth: my mistakes are often the very things that shape my character, deepen my relationships, and point me toward a more meaningful life.Why failed products like BIC for Her and New Coke can teach us about resilienceThe psychology of growth mindset, self-compassion, and learning from mistakesHow traditions like Kintsugi and teshuvah honor repair over perfectionStories of famous failures from Thomas Edison to J.K.

Jasper Feyaerts is a philosopher and associate professor in clinical psychology at the University of Ghent, Belgium. He is co-founder of the Too Mad to be True conference, alongside previous guest, Wouter Kusters.Jasper's research specialises phenomenology, self-disorders, psychosis, and delusions. Our conversation enquires into the elusive, difficult-to-define nature of selfhood. We begin comparing conventional psychiatric models of pathology with direct enquiry into the subjective experience.We look at the risks and the value of objectifying and conceptualising experience, interaction and knowledge as crucial to self-understanding, the self as it relates to so-called disorder, the view of Eastern spiritual traditions, such as Buddhist no-self, the illusion and necessity of control, flow and immersion versus self-reflection, primordial shame and ontological paranoia, the fear and joy of spontaneity, and what changes Jasper would like to see in the field of psychiatry.

Our reality is increasingly being filtered through AI. People now defer to AI chatbots for more and more of their information needs, and google searches return AI generated overviews as their top responses. While this may have its benefits, problems are starting to arise as our interactions with AI are becoming more comprehensive, immersive, and emotionally meaningful. Researchers are begining to warn that AI might be contributing to the development of delusional beliefs and psychotic experiences. Reports of what has been called “AI-associated psychosis” have raised concerns about people becoming intensely attached to AI systems, interpreting conversations with them as uniquely meaningful, or developing beliefs that are reinforced through repeated interactions. Real world examples include people believing that AI is sending them hidden messages, that they have a special mission, that the have made new mathematical discoveries, and that AI is awakening. There have even been cases involving violence and death in the real world. So the question is: What is going on? Can we seperate the real world cases of AI psychosis from the media headlines? In this conversation I speak with Dr. Joseph Pierre, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, and the Unit Chief of the Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital Adult Inpatient Unit. He has extensive clinical experience working with individuals with psychotic disorders, as well as research experience participating as a primary investigator and collaborator for clinical trials in schizophrenia and early intervention for young persons at high risk for psychosis. His academic work explores the "grey area" between psychopathology and normality with a focus on delusion-like beliefs including conspiracy theories. We discuss what AI-associated psychosis means, the evidence behind these emerging concerns, the psychology of delusional thinking, how AI systems may influence human cognition, and what we should-and should not-conclude about the risks of increasingly powerful conversational AI.   ►Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nniFFxTU5Tw Find out more about Joe's work here: https://profiles.ucsf.edu/joseph.pierre ►Read Joe's book: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/false-9780197765272?cc=nl&lang=en& https://www.amazon.nl/False-Mistrust-Disinformation-Motivated-Reasoning/dp/0197765270 ►Follow Joe on X: @psychunseen

Ketamine Therapy, MDMA, Psilocybin, and the Science of Psychedelic Assisted Healing Most people struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma have never felt safe in their nervous system, and the treatments they have been prescribed are making that worse. This episode breaks down the neuroscience of psychedelic therapy, why ketamine is the safest and most accessible starting point, how MDMA triggers a BDNF dependent pathway that repairs trauma all the way down to the epigenetic code, and why your antidepressant may be blocking the very brain states required for real healing. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Order Dr. Rabin's Book ‘A Simple Guide to Being Alive': https://apolloneuro.com/pages/a-simple-guide-to-being-alive Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Dave Rabin, MD, PhD, a senior research scientist at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, Executive Director of The Board of Medicine, and co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Apollo Neuroscience. Dr. Rabin received his MD and PhD in neuroscience from Albany Medical College and specialized in psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He has spent 20 years studying chronic stress and non-invasive therapies for treatment-resistant illness, and his primary research on MDMA assisted therapy for severe PTSD has demonstrated that trauma can be reversed at the epigenetic level, offering a genuine path to a cure. His upcoming book A Simple Guide to Being Alive publishes June 1, 2026 and is a science-backed manual for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the modern world. Dave and Dr. Rabin break down why nearly 50% of people prescribed psychiatric medication never achieve remission, why SSRIs and SNRIs physically block the brain states required for emotional healing, and why the FDA rejected MDMA therapy after three trials showed an 88% response rate. They dig into the exact BDNF pathway that makes MDMA and ketamine so transformative, how psychedelics amplify safety learning in the amygdala at the molecular level, and why trauma passes down up to 14 generations through epigenetic code that can now be measured and repaired. They also cover why your breathing rate at the doctor's office is already a stress signal nobody is reading, how your smartphone puts your nervous system into a chronic fear state before you even get out of bed, and why ketamine is the right starting point for anyone curious about psychedelic therapy right now. You'll Learn: Why nearly 50% of psychiatric patients never get better and what treatment-resistant actually means How ketamine therapy works, why it is legal in every state, and why it is the safest place to start The exact BDNF pathway through which MDMA repairs fear extinction in the amygdala How MDMA assisted therapy produces measurable epigenetic repair of the cortisol receptor gene damaged by trauma Why SSRIs and SNRIs block the insula mediated brain states required for real emotional healing Why combining serotonergic psychedelics with SSRIs puts you at risk of life-threatening serotonin syndrome Why trauma passes down up to 14 generations and what you can do to stop the cycle now Why smartphones put your nervous system into a toxic overstimulation state before the day even starts How the FDA rejected MDMA therapy after 88% of patients responded and who paid to make that happen Thank you to our sponsors! - Qualia | If you want to take the guesswork out of maintaining high NAD+ levels as you age, go to www.qualialife.com/daveNAD to get clinically proven Qualia NAD+ backed by a 100 day money back guarantee and code DAVENAD at checkout gets you an extra 15% off. - iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE - OneSkin | For a limited time, try OneSkin with 15% off at oneskin.co/DAVE. - LMNT | Right now you can get a free 8-count Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular drink mix flavors with any purchase at drinkLMNT.com/dave Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

While many people have heard of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) fewer know about Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT), an evidence-based therapy that is producing remarkable results for people living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with Robert P. Drozek, LICSW, a teaching associate in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and author of “Mentalization: Utilizing Reflection to Heal from Borderline Personality Disorder.” Together, they explore how mentalization—the ability to understand your own thoughts, feelings, and motivations while considering the perspectives of others—can help reduce the emotional instability, relationship challenges, impulsivity, and self-destructive behaviors often associated with borderline personality disorder. Robert explains what happens when intense emotions or fears of rejection disrupt a person's ability to accurately interpret themselves and others. He breaks down how Mentalization-Based Treatment works, what a typical therapy session looks like, and why some people who haven't connected with DBT may find MBT to be a powerful alternative. Listeners Will Learn: ·      Discover how Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) was developed and why it is evidence-based ·      Explore the key differences between MBT and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) ·      Find out what happens during a typical MBT therapy session ·      Understand how rigid certainty about yourself or others can fuel emotional suffering Whether you've been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, love someone who has, or simply want to better understand this treatable mental health condition, this conversation offers hope, practical insights, and a fresh perspective on recovery. Listen now! “When (people with borderline personality disorder) are overwhelmed by emotion, they stop reflecting. Mentalization helps them get their minds back online.” ~Robert P. Drozek, LICSW Robert P. Drozek, LICSW, is the clinical director of the Mentalization-Based Treatment Clinic at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts. He is a teaching associate in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, specializing in the treatment of borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. He is author of the new book, Mentalization: Utilizing reflection to heal from borderline personality disorder—the first book for the general public about mentalization-based treatment.

Jonathan Dickinson sat on the floor of a temple in Gabon, initiated into the Bwiti tradition. He built the only ethical supply line out of that forest when no one else would. He co-authored the safety guidelines the entire field depends on, was part of the landmark Stanford research, and runs one of the world's leading ibogaine clinics through Ambio Life Sciences. This year he poured fifteen years of it into a new book.Psychedelics have moved from the counterculture to the President's desk, and our most elite warfighters are quietly leaving the country to get a treatment America still calls a crime. At the center of it is a root the people of Gabon have called a teacher for thousands of years.Jonathan walks us through what ibogaine appears to do for trauma, addiction, and brain injury, where the science is astonishing, and where the honest answer is still that we don't know. He describes a door this medicine opens in the mind, one he says the modern world has trained us to keep shut.Jonathan Dickinson WebsiteAmbio Life Sciences

In this Pride Month episode of Shrinking it Down: Mental Health Made Simple, Gene and Khadijah are joined by Dr. Alex Keuroghlian for a wide-ranging, candid conversation about supporting LGBTQ+ youth. As Chair of the Department of Psychiatry at MaineHealth and former founding director of the MGH Psychiatry Gender Identity Program, Dr. Keuroghlian draws on nearly a decade leading the National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center and his own published research to discuss the environments and policy climate that put LGBTQ+ young people at risk, what it actually looks like when a child comes out, and how families can repair when a conversation doesn't go as hoped. Citing research showing that strong family support is the greatest predictor of good mental health, academic performance, and housing security for youth down the road, Dr. Keuroghlian makes a compelling case for the power of family acceptance. This episode explores that power, the value of parents sharing their own stories, and the warning signs caregivers should watch for — offering insight, hope, and practical guidance for anyone who wants the LGBTQ+ kids in their life to feel loved, supported, and free to be who they are.

We were delighted to welcome Seth Holehouse, host of the popular podcast Man in America, to The Breggin Hour. With over a million listeners dedicated to uncovering the forces reshaping our nation, Seth brings a thoughtful, big-picture perspective that resonates deeply with our own work exposing global predators. This wide-ranging conversation touched on the Epstein files, MKUltra, satanic ritual abuse, compromised elites, spiritual warfare, and the practical steps each of us can take to live freely in an upside-down world. As always, we encourage you to listen to the full episode for the complete exchange. The Epstein Files: A Crack in the Veil Seth first encountered the Epstein story years ago amid early discussions of Pizzagate, the Podestas, disturbing artwork, and high-profile figures like Bill Clinton. The more recent document releases struck a chord, especially with younger people encountering the horror on TikTok. “There are a lot of people that… look around and just have this sense that something's just not right with the world.” These awakening moments—whether from 9/11, COVID, or the Epstein revelations—pierce the illusions. Seth urges us to step back and take the broader view rather than getting lost in distractions or narrow slices of the truth. This aligns with our own experience: the more we step back and examine the complete picture, the clearer the patterns of predation become.  MKUltra, Survivor Testimony, and the Pyramid of Control Seth has conducted powerful interviews with survivors of MKUltra and satanic ritual abuse, including a dedicated series exploring these dark networks. These accounts reveal how compromise, blackmail, and ritual abuse serve as tools to control those who rise in elite circles. He draws on important works, including Fritz Springmeier's Bloodlines of the Illuminati, Jim Marrs ‘ Behold a Pale Horse, and especially Andrzej Łobaczewski's Political Ponerology. Łobaczewski, a Polish psychiatrist who survived both Nazi and Communist regimes, studied how pathological personalities—particularly psychopaths and character-disordered individuals lacking conscience and empathy—infiltrate and corrupt institutions. This leads to pathocracy, or “rule by evil,” where a small minority of disordered people seize power, distort ideologies, and promote their own kind. The process, called ponerization, gradually transforms normal groups into pathological ones through infiltration, blackmail, and twisted moral justifications (paramoralisms). Visible politicians, celebrities, and CEOs often serve as puppets in a modern Allegory of the Cave, while real power lies higher up within protected bloodlines and networks. Compromise—frequently involving the abuse of children—ensures loyalty. This framework helps explain the spread of evil at the highest levels and why left-right political theater so often distracts from deeper systemic pathology. As Seth's survivor interviews illustrate, these mechanisms are not abstract—they destroy lives and souls. Facing this kind of evil is not easy. Ginger noted how confronting the Epstein files broke her heart and made it difficult to continue looking for a time. Peter connected it to his lifelong reform work protecting children and the vulnerable from institutional and psychiatric abuse. Spiritual Warfare and the Choice Before Us We see these issues as fundamentally spiritual—a testing ground where individuals and societies must choose virtue, love, and truth over base appetites and predation. Seth, raised in a Christian home with an emphasis on simply being a good person, describes a predator-prey dynamic operating at elite levels. Peter and I shared reflections on our partnership, including the challenges of Peter's stroke and his remarkable recovery through hyperbaric oxygen therapy and other supports. After decades together fighting for patients and human freedom, we know the sustaining power of love and mutual commitment in the face of darkness. Spotting Controlled Opposition and Questioning Authority Seth offered practical wisdom for navigating today's information landscape—wisdom we have learned through hard experience: Heavy focus on left-right political divides often serves the control grid by keeping people distracted and divided. Beware influencers who shut down discussion of “forbidden” topics or demand unquestioning loyalty. Prioritize sources with evidence and receipts rather than vague “secret intel.” Maintain an open mind and even question your own assumptions. “It's my moral duty to question everything… even to question my own beliefs.” This spirit of honest inquiry is essential. As we have seen time and again, real reform begins with refusing to accept surface narratives and insisting on truth. Prep Like Noah: Returning to Human Living Living near a major population center, Seth speaks from experience about preparedness—not driven by fear, but by a return to traditional, responsible ways of life. His forthcoming book Prep Like Noah and the new private community The Ark (buildthearc.com) focus on self-reliance in food, energy, homeschooling, and community. The coming “flood” may involve digital IDs, surveillance, engineered shortages, and expanding tyranny. By reclaiming control over the essentials of life, we become less vulnerable. Like Noah, we build what we can control and allow pathological systems to collapse under the weight of their own evil, incompetence, and infighting. Peter found Seth's grounded, calming perspective especially helpful. We agree: returning to authentic human connection, family, and stewardship is one of the strongest defenses against the demoralization that global predators promote. Final Thoughts Conversations like this remind us that while the forces arrayed against humanity are formidable, truth-seeking, moral courage, strong families, and practical action offer real hope and freedom. We are grateful to Seth Holehouse for joining us and look forward to future discussions.

Warum geraten wir immer wieder in dieselben Konflikte, Beziehungen oder Selbstzweifel – obwohl wir es eigentlich besser wissen? In dieser Folge von Betreutes Fühlen entdecken Leon und Atze, warum manche Muster in unserem Leben so hartnäckig sind. Gemeinsam schauen wir auf sogenannte Schemata: tief verankerte Überzeugungen über uns selbst, andere Menschen und die Welt. Wir sprechen darüber, wie diese Muster entstehen, warum sie sich oft wie Tatsachen anfühlen und weshalb sie unser Denken, Fühlen und Handeln bis heute beeinflussen können.

Could inflammation be causing low mood, anxiety, depression, or even affecting your risk of dementia?  Emerging science suggests that inflammation in the body may change how the brain works. In this episode, Ed Bullmore, a Professor of Psychiatry at King's College London and a leading voice in brain research, explores why feeling low, emotionally flat, foggy or exhausted may not always be “all in your head”. Ed explores emerging science suggesting that inflammation in the body may alter how the brain works. He explains how inflammation can influence the brain and discusses why obesity, gut health, gum disease, menopause, ageing and stress may all play a role. He also examines why medicine has traditionally separated physical and mental health, and what this may mean for understanding the root causes of low mood. By the end of the episode, you'll have some practical ways to support both brain and body health. Ed shares the evidence behind which exercise and diet matter most, and why discussing mental and physical health together may help you get closer to the causes of your symptoms. If your mood, energy and brain health are shaped by more than what's happening in your mind, what might your body be trying to tell you?

In the world of leaders who have investigated and informed citizens everywhere about the malevolent intentions behind the COVID pandemic, one of the most effective has been lawyer Reiner Fuellmich, who continues to be silenced and imprisoned in Germany after one of the most bizarre and abusive “trials” ever to occur in a modern courtroom in the Western World.  The German administration should be genuinely ashamed for exposing themselves as puppets of the Globalist cabal who are silencing dissenters who revealed the true nature of the COVID policies and practices. Reiner Fuellmich began his professional career with a doctorate in law. His first focus was on medical and pharmaceutical law at the University of Gottingen, where he worked as a research assistant. This background would prove invaluable when he began in 2020 to investigate and expose the COVID conspiracy and the hidden hands of the elite internationalists manipulating the shuttering of national economies and installing control of whole populations. As a consumer protection and trial lawyer in Germany and in California, Reiner opened his own law firm in 1993. He may have been best known for his successful work in representing consumers who were sold Volkswagen vehicles with defective emissions devices. His background included consumer law related to international banks, including Deutsche Bank, and investor protection suits representing victims of “junk real estate” investments. But Dr. Reiner Fuellmich was just getting started in his advocacy. As with so many others in the “new freedom leadership,” Reiner and his wife recognized the authoritarianism embedded in the early 2020 COVID pandemic lockdowns, other mandates, and sudden legal declarations. People were ordered to stay home; no public gatherings were allowed; masks were required when going out; and all small businesses were closed, except for a few. Children were ordered to stay home from school to “learn remotely.” All these interventions, along with their draconian enforcement by law enforcement, were a red flag. So he and his wife left California and returned to their home country, Germany, where he could gather more information. The Corona Investigative Committee was the immediate result of Reiner's return. Over the next 2 years or so, Reiner and colleagues conducted approximately 400 interviews with physicians, scientists, medical specialists, economists, historians, investigative journalists, and others seeking answers to the unprecedented shutdown of the world. Reiner was the primary member of the task force, and Dr. Breggin was one of his key witnesses. The Corona Investigative Committee was so successful that it was an enormous threat to the globalist overlords. The committee members saw other groups and individuals around the world having bank accounts seized or frozen, including the fundraising account for the COVID-19 protesting Truckers in Canada. They agreed with legal documents to disperse the funds within the leadership to be held securely until such time as the threat of seizure was passed. In 2022, Reiner traveled to the US to participate in a speaking tour titled “Crimes Against Humanity,” and while he was out of the country, the other primary member of the committee removed Reiner from the group. There was a general “disruption” among the four members of the original investigative committee (which we have seen happen often when an organization begins to have an impact) Reiner was forced to go to and remain in the US and then Mexico, where he began another investigative committee: the International Crimes Investigative Committee. Reiner's first formal interview for the new committee was conducted with expert journalist Naomi Wolf, psychiatrist Peter Breggin, and Prof. Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi and his wife Prof. Dr. Karina Reiss. That seminal first interview explored the vital issue of “stunning personality changes” caused by mRNA covid vaccines. Despite everything, Dr. Fuellmich was undeterred in his international investigation of the globalists and the United Nations/World Health Organization/World Economic Forum efforts to capture control of the free world. Germany brought criminal charges against Dr. Fuellmich for taking the protective measures that had been taken to protect CIC funds. Dr. Fuellmich was accused of embezzlement. Reiner was marooned in Mexico after being denied visa entry again into the United States. His passport disappeared, and when he went to the German embassy in Mexico to collect a new passport, he was captured, held, and transported back to Germany. Arrested by German authorities, Dr. Fuellmich was transported to the maximum-security prison in Rosdorf. He has remained incarcerated by German authorities to this day. Dr. Fuellmich directly addressed the various rumors and whispers about his legal case on March 10, 2026, in his “Press Release – ICIC. law—The History of Dr. Reiner Fuellmich's Kidnapping.” Dr. Reiner Fuellmich declared: Here I have once again put together the story of my kidnapping from Mexico in the context that is relevant from my point of view, so that anyone who has already heard a little about the case – “embezzlement, he screwed everyone over, but somehow something is really fishy” – can immediately see that this is certainly not a criminal case being pursued, but rather a political case that has been fabricated. The Fuellmich trial was a mockery, bleeding on for over a year, before and during which Reiner was subjected to shocking neglect and abuse within prison. The outcry about the false imprisonment, massive trial manipulations, and human rights violations committed while holding Dr. Fuellmich before and after trial are covered in detail by our guest this week, Seba Terribilini. She is a Swiss activist. She has followed Reiner's work, dedicated the past two and a half years to attending the entire trial proceedings, and is now trying to raise awareness of him. She has also visited him three times in prison. Film director and investigative journalist Philippe Carillo, along with Seba Terribilini, is currently working on a documentary about Reiner's persecution. The trailer for the Free Reiner film is here. We greatly admire and heartily support Reiner Fuellmich as well as Seba Terribilini for her efforts to increase public awareness of Dr. Fuellmich's plight and his need for justice. May God bless both Fuellmich and Terribilini. ______   Learn more about Dr. Peter Breggin's work: https://breggin.com/   See more from Dr. Breggin's long history of being a reformer in psychiatry: https://breggin.com/Psychiatry-as-an-Instrument-of-Social-and-Political-Control   Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal, the how-to manual @ https://breggin.com/a-guide-for-prescribers-therapists-patients-and-their-families/   Get a copy of Dr. Breggin's latest book: WHO ARE THE “THEY” - THESE GLOBAL PREDATORS?

Talia Cohen Solal, CEO and Co-Founder of NeuroKaire, is focused on improving patient outcomes of those with depression by predicting the most effective antidepressant for each individual. The NeuroKaire platform personalizes psychiatric treatment by creating neurons from a patient's blood sample to model their brain and test drug responses, pointing the way to an effective treatment, avoiding prolonged trial-and-error. This is a significant advancement over existing pharmacogenomic tests, which primarily provide information on drug metabolism rather than drug efficacy. This technology is also being applied to other conditions like ADHD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and epilepsy.   Talia explains, "At NeuroKaire, we are dedicated to improving patient outcomes in psychiatry and neurology. To do that, we've developed a platform to predict which antidepressant is best for each patient and are expanding out to other disease indications to achieve that mission."   "Basically, around 2006, Yamanaka and his colleagues discovered that you could take any cell in the body and turn it back into a stem cell. And that changed everything for the field. So what we can do now is we can take a blood sample, turn it back into a stem cell, and then turn it into whatever cell type we'd like. And our mission is to help people with brain disorders and psychiatric disorders. And so we turn those stem cells into neurons. And now we have a model of the patient's brain. Now we have neurons from the patient's brain and a little ecosystem mimicking a patient's brain. And there we can actually see what's going wrong in the connectivity, what's changed in those patients, and what drugs are going to have the best outcome to reverse those changes." #NeuroKaire #PrecisionPsychiatry #MentalHealth #Antidepressants #BrightKaire #PersonalizedMedicine #PGx #Neuroscience #HealthcareInnovation neurokaire.com Download the transcript here

After losing his brother to suicide despite being in psychiatric care, entrepreneur Kristian Ranta began asking difficult questions: Why do so many people struggle despite treatment? What if mental health care is overlooking key drivers of recovery?In this conversation, Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Kristian Ranta, founder of Meru Health, to explore a model that approaches mental health care differently by combining psychiatry, therapy, nutrition, metabolic health, sleep, exercise, coaching, and data-driven care.They discuss:Why nutrition and metabolic health are often overlooked in psychiatryThe connection between physical and mental healthWhy “treatment-resistant” may not tell the whole storyHow comprehensive lab testing can uncover hidden contributors to symptomsThe role of ketogenic and low-carbohydrate interventions in mental health careWearables, biofeedback, and personalized treatment approachesOutcome-based care and the future of psychiatric treatmentHow virtual care can expand access to underserved communitiesThis conversation highlights a growing movement toward whole-person mental health care, one that seeks to go beyond symptoms and understand the underlying factors that may be contributing to them.

The Nottingham attacks shocked Britain and raised urgent questions about mental health services, public safety and institutional accountability.In this special edition of The Fourcast, Jackie Long is joined by the families of those killed in the attacks, alongside mental health experts, campaigners and policymakers, to discuss the findings of the Nottingham Inquiry and what must change to prevent similar tragedies in the future.Emma Webber, mother of Barnaby Webber; Dr Sanjoy Kumar, father of Grace O'Malley-Kumar; and James Coates, son of Ian Coates, reflect on their fight for answers and accountability. They are joined by former Care Minister Norman Lamb, Professor at the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London Dinesh Bhugra, and SANE Chief Executive Marjorie Wallace.Can lessons finally be learned from Nottingham? Has enough changed since the attacks? And how do we balance compassionate mental health care with public safety?Nottingham Police said they would consider any recommendations made. Nottingham Health Trust did not respond to a request for comment. The CPS said they were ‘fully engaging with the public inquiry'. During the inquiry, a representative from the University of Nottingham said that since Valdo Calocane had left the university, the university had “continued to refine and adapt its policies and processes, but any changes made have not been as a direct result of the attacks themselves.” The spokesperson added that: "The University does not take the view that any of the changes made would have had an impact on the devastating attacks which took place.” The Department of Health said that “whilst there has been significant investment in mental health services over the past ten years, demand has risen and outpaced the services available”, and acknowledged “a significant and ongoing rise in demand means there remains a substantial treatment gap”.

In this June sustainability episode, Maryal sits down with Dr. Daniel Hochman, a psychiatrist in private practice in Texas and the founder of Self Recovery, an online addiction curriculum built from thousands of hours of one-to-one clinical work.Dr. Hochman left the insurance model early, around 2014, because the deep, philosophical therapy he wanted to practice could never be reimbursed in a fee-for-service system. His definition of sustainability is simple and worth sitting with: work that is aligned with your interests is sustainable, and the drag of burnout shows up when there is interference and conflict instead of alignment.What you will hear in this episode:Why sustainability is about alignment with your interests, not just doing less, and how "slow down" can mean five different thingsHis trial-and-error method for building a personal repertoire of recovery tools, using something as ordinary as what you choose to watch at nightHow he protects a sacred solo lunch, eats at his desk, and works calisthenics and movement into the day instead of a separate gym routineThe honest distinction between what drains him: a suicidal patient that morning did not deplete him, but a misaligned patient asking for a quick fix didHow he screens for fit by taking every call himself and asking one question: "Are you curious?"How to neutrally end or decline a relationship that is not a fit, and why modeling that can itself be therapeuticThe story behind Self Recovery: why he spent years writing a true addiction curriculum rather than referring patients to subpar optionsHis addiction model that became the course structure: emotional pain leads to craving, craving to following through, following through to false pleasure, with a capstone on how to actually liveWhy an educational designer helped him break heavy material into digestible, story-driven modules that keep people asking "what's next"Why online, private, self-paced work helps people face their hardest material when they are ready, on their own timeA one-minute motivational interviewing technique any physician can memorize: "On a scale of zero to 10, how ready are you to change?" then "Why not higher, and why not lower?"The tool most physicians leave on the table in addiction care, and how to pitch it as helping a patient be accountable to their own better halfHis incremental, no-big-scary-beast advice for physicians who feel stuck but are not yet a 10 out of 10 ready to make the leapConnect with Dr. Hochman:Self Recovery (online addiction curriculum, direct to consumer)The Zanko Method, a curriculum for professionals living with addiction.One-day Intensives at his practice: hochmanhealth.com (see the Intensives tab)New to DPC?

Sleep Disturbances in Autism and Neurodivergent Conditions: A Discussion with Dr. Beth Malow, MD, Neurologist and Sleep Disorder Expert Dr. Malow, discusses how sleep problems affect approximately 80% of individuals on the autism spectrum and family members, emphasizing that improving sleep can positively impact every aspect of an autistic person's life and the life of the family. She explained that sleep deprivation exacerbates existing challenges and can lead to irritability and impaired social communication, which are already core features of autism. Beth framed sleep as a “window” to help autistic individuals and families, contrasting this positive approach with the common tendency to focus on difficult behavioral patterns when sleep issues occur.Find out more on our website!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 2001, Portugal decriminalised the possession and use of all illicit drugs. It was a move designed to mitigate the country's public health crisis, which at the time meant Portugal had one of the worst rates of overdose deaths in Europe, as well as the highest rate of HIV among drug users. Whilst drugs remained illegal, users did not receive a criminal record but were instead referred to rehabilitation and treatment programmes. It was an approach that proved so successful, that it has remained in place for a quarter of a century. But just over 10 years after its introduction, Portugal's drugs policy started to come under strain as the country's economic crisis and subsequent austerity measures led to budget cuts for drug services. More recently the rising cost of living has diverted people's attention from investment in this field. On top of this, the trafficking of cocaine and newer substances into the country along with changing demographics is putting decriminalisation under strain. So, on The Inquiry this week, we're asking ‘Is Portugal's drugs policy in need of reform?'

Episode 4034: Mark Manson breaks down what therapy actually is, cutting through the stereotypes to explain how it helps uncover unconscious patterns, emotional blind spots, and destructive behaviors. He also explores the warning signs that someone may benefit from therapy, from compulsive habits to dysfunctional relationships, while emphasizing that meaningful change requires active participation and discomfort. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://markmanson.net/therapy Quotes to ponder: "The primary purpose of therapy is to help us become aware of the unconscious parts of our mind, accept them, and then begin exerting control over them." "Therapy is a participatory activity. In fact, I would argue that if therapy is going well, it's because you are doing 80% of the work." "Therapy should feel a little uncomfortable. It should challenge you. It should make you think about your life from new perspectives."
