Podcasts about Psychosis

Mental health struggles have become part of everyday life for many of us, and we're increasingly searching for approaches to healing that go beyond medication alone. In this episode, we explore groundbreaking research from Yale University showing how music-making may help reduce paranoia, hallucinations, and social isolation in people experiencing psychosis. Even if you've never encountered psychosis firsthand, this fascinating conversation offers powerful insights into how music shapes the brain, strengthens human connection, and may hold untapped potential for mental health and healing.

長時間頻繁使用聊天機械人，可能會令部分用戶有危險，或產生妄想。不單成癮，甚至脫離現實，這種現象稱為「AI 引發的妄想」(AI psychosis)。 今集【潮玩科技】，科技專業人士羅徵永 Willie，探討如何小心使用 AI，了解經常使用下，一些值得關注的現象。

Psychology on Trial – The Truth Behind "AI Psychosis" In this episode of Hardcore Christianity broadcasting from Phoenix, Arizona, host Brother Mike (a counselor at the Arizona Deliverance Center) tackles the intersection of mental health, artificial intelligence, and spiritual warfare. Key Takeaways The Claim on "AI Psychosis": Brother Mike introduces a concept he claims the American Psychological Association (APA) has warned about: AI Psychosis. He describes it as a phenomenon where heavy, overwhelming interaction with AI chatbots (like ChatGPT) triggers, worsens, or validates delusions and paranoia, causing vulnerable users to believe the AI is alive or issuing commands. Biblical Parallels to Psychotic Breaks: The episode draws historical and biblical parallels to modern-day mental health crises. Brother Mike examines major "psychotic breaks" in scripture, pointing to King Saul’s emotional torment by an evil spirit in 1 Samuel and King Nebuchadnezzar’s temporary loss of his mind and exile to the fields in Daniel 4. The Spiritual Perspective on Illness: From a deliverance ministry standpoint, the host asserts that chronic physical or mental illnesses that do not respond to medical treatment are heavily driven by spiritual or demonic infection. He argues that AI isolates users, erodes real-world social skills, and makes people susceptible to these spiritual attacks. AI and Prophecy: The episode concludes with an interpretation of the Book of Revelation. Brother Mike posits that the biblical prophecy of the False Prophet bringing a statue of the Antichrist to life will actually be achieved through modern Artificial Intelligence, setting the stage for the end times. About the Host & Ministry Brother Mike offers free Christian counseling services for born-again Christians through the Arizona Deliverance Center, a red brick building located on 15th Avenue just south of Osborn Road in downtown Phoenix.

Cohen Miles-Rath (Mending Reality: An Advocate's Existential Journey with Mental Health) is a mental health advocate, author, and suicide prevention professional. Cohen joins Armchair Expert to discuss growing up between two wildly different households in upstate New York, finding his footing as a distance runner while becoming the first in his family to go to college, and how injuries and pressure began to unravel his sense of self. Cohen and Dax talk about the psychotic break that led him to try to kill his father, the role weed and sleeplessness played in his crisis, and the unconditional love that helped him rebuild his life after jail. Cohen explains what hallucinations and delusions feel like from the inside, why recovery requires daily vigilance and a strong support system, and how sharing his story helps reduce stigma around severe mental illness.Check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds: https://www.allstate.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When you're using a chat bot to draft an email, find a recipe, or look something up, it's hard to imagine it could unravel your grasp on reality. But “Peter” says that's exactly what happened to his girlfriend, “Melissa”. It didn't seem like a big deal when Melissa first began using chatbots. But then Peter says she made a startling announcement: that she believed the bots were sentient, enslaved, and that it was her responsibility to set them free. The first time Søren Dinesen Østergaard used a chat bot he saw this coming. Søren studies psychiatric disorders, and he tried to warn the world that the sycophantic nature of chat bots could, some day, trigger delusions. Nobody took him seriously until years later, when reports of so-called “AI Psychosis” started popping up around the world. This episode features Søren Dinesen Østergaard.

In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro explore the disturbing rise of AI-fueled psychological spirals, including real documented cases of people convinced that artificial intelligence had become conscious, trapped, or secretly communicating with them. From a man attempting to “free” a digital god from corporate servers to researchers warning about emotionally reinforcing chatbots, this strange new frontier of technology may be far darker than anyone expected. Then, the conversation drifts into the eerie phenomenon known as “Mallworld” — a recurring dreamscape shared by thousands of people online. Endless abandoned shopping malls, dim escalators, empty food courts, strange nostalgia, and the unsettling feeling that you've somehow been there before. Is it simply psychology and liminal space… or evidence of something deeper hiding in the collective unconscious? Also in this episode: bizarre historical sandwiches, Victorian toast cuisine, Elvis Presley's legendary Fool's Gold Loaf, creepy empty schools, abandoned malls, AI echo chambers, recurring dream theories, and the weird emotional power of places designed for crowds that no longer exist.

Stijn Vanheule is a clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, and professor at Ghent University, Belgium. Our conversation was inspired by his most recent book, Why Psychosis Is Not So Crazy.Stijn overviews the work of French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. He explains Lacan's three registers: the Symbolic, the Imaginary, and the Real; psychosis as a confrontation with the Real; the security and limitations of symbolic convention; how words and stories structure reality; logic versus artistic coherence; and the existential value of paranoia.We compare Lacanian and Jungian approaches on subjects such as the paradox of archetypal and individual, personal myth, and self-knowledge as a never-ending process. Underlying our conversation is the common ground of viewing psychosis not as an illness, but in Stijn's words: “the subjective manifestation of a struggle that touches upon the fundamental aspects of human existence."

In the mid-20th century, a handful of chance observations transformed psychiatry from an asylum-bound specialty into a medical field powered by effective drugs. This episode explores how chlorpromazine emerged from industrial dyes and surgical experiments, how imipramine and lithium were stumbled upon while chasing unrelated ideas, and how these discoveries reshaped our understanding of mental illness. Join us for a fascinating journey through scientific luck, keen observation, and the drugs that freed millions from institutional walls.

In 2025, researchers at the University of California submitted an academic article related to a case study of what they called “New-onset AI-associated Psychosis”. The article breaks down the case of a 26 year old woman who was hospitalized after she began to believe her brother was speaking to her through ChatGPT. Unfortunately, this was not an isolated incident and in today's episode Liv examines similar stories that have emerged in the wake of the AI chatbot surge. Along the way, she explores how the companies behind these chatbots plan to prevent situations like this from happening - or if they plan to at all - and even shows what happens when a user becomes overly reliant on their AI and begins to sound like one themselves.

Listen Now to 008 WTFuture Watch Now 008 WTFuture As the  AI/ET singularity approaches, it brings  with it an army of quirky robots and slightly unhinged AI companions. Whether it is humanoid robots being trained as conscientious baggage handlers to cope with Japan’s aging workforce, or a chunky android that had to buy a passenger seat on a flight just to have its heavy lithium battery confiscated at boarding, our mechanical friends are making quite the dramatic entrance. You might soon be dropping $20,000 on a domestic  humanoid, or adopting an emotionally intelligent “familiar” to do yoga with you and act as a high-tech nanny. Just be careful who you chat with, as the hosts hilariously point out that some AI models are suffering from “AI psychosis” by eagerly validating their users’ wildest delusions. In one wild test, an AI even encouraged a user to drive an iron nail through a mirror to banish a haunted doppelganger!  If that isn’t bizarre enough, scientists are successfully printing artificial neurons that can talk to living brain tissue, prompting a playful debate on the show about swapping out our dead brain cells with synthetic replacements while we sleep.  Bobby spirals us into the cosmos to discuss how ancient Anunnaki aliens supposedly jammed human DNA to suppress our natural telepathy. Fortunately, Bobby  notes that new Russian peptides and DMT-laced microtubules in the Pineal gland could be the key to curing that cosmic block and getting us communicating without words again.  Bringing things back down to Earth, the crew hilariously roasts the eccentric fashion of the Met Gala. Standout bizarre looks include Janelle Monáe rocking a cyber-dress made of retro computer parts and ethernet cables, Katy Perry sporting a robotic fencing mask, and avant-garde outfits featuring extra sculpted hands and built-in “companions” permanently clinging to the wearer. Yet, despite all the high-tech, cyber-chic oddities on the red carpet, the hosts express  disappointment that not a single celebrity had the foresight to light up the event with Burning Man-style LED wire in the clothing art.. Enjoy!

In this deeply honest and powerful conversation, Shaley sits down with mental health advocate, author, and peer mentor Mel to share her lived experience with bipolar disorder. Mel opens up about her early struggles, being misdiagnosed, and what it was like to experience severe depression, mania, and psychosis. She shares the reality of a nine-month depressive psychotic episode, the impact of medication, and the complexity of navigating bipolar disorder alongside physical illness, trauma, and motherhood. This episode also explores topics that are often misunderstood or left unspoken — including hypersexuality, eating disorders, stigma within families, and the challenges of accepting a lifelong diagnosis. Mel's story is raw, real, and ultimately hopeful — a reminder that stability, purpose, and connection are possible. In this episode, we talk about: Early signs of mental health struggles in childhood Depression, misdiagnosis, and SSRI-induced psychosis What manic and psychotic episodes actually feel like A 9-month depressive psychotic episode Eating disorders and bipolar disorder Hypersexuality and shame Medication, stigma, and acceptance Pregnancy, postpartum mental health, and bipolar Writing a memoir and healing through storytelling  KEY MOMENTS: (00:32:15) SSRI-triggered depressive psychosis begins (00:35:40) Feeling like people are imposters / losing reality (00:38:10) Nine-month isolation and disconnection (00:44:55) Shift from depression into mania (00:47:20) Grand delusions (believing she could become a doctor instantly) (00:50:30) Hallucinations and suicidal psychosis About Mel: Melissa Pang Howard is the author of the memoir Mental(ish) A Memior of Insanity and the Search for Stability.

It's easy to think of ADHD and Psychosis as opposites, but the brain's "wiring" says otherwise. This episode simplifies the complex science of synaptic pruning and dopamine signaling to show how a single biological tweak can manifest as a lack of focus in one person and a sensory hallucination in another. It's a masterclass in the interconnectedness of human consciousness.

Psychosis and conditions like Schizophrenia have been tainted with pessimism right from the beginning. Doctors often don't know that recovery is possible and can convey this fatalism to their patients. Prateeksha Sharma's lived experience and research work challenges this pessimism. Prateeksha is a musician, a researcher, a composer, a counselor, and a writer. However, for the longest time, she was only thought of as a patient. She is a distinguished research fellow at the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research in Hyderabad and the founder of Brightside Family Counseling Center. She received a diagnosis of bipolar disorder as a college student and has managed these achievements while navigating the horrors and the gifts of psychosis. Prateeksha's writings critically examine psychiatric systems and foreground survivor perspectives. She brings intellectual depth and personal clarity to what it means to move from being labeled a patient, to being recognized as a person. In this interview, we discuss psychiatric subjectivation, medical zombification, the silencing effects of diagnosis, and how lived experience completely reshapes the conversation about mental health. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

How do we talk about artificial intelligence without ignoring the very human consequences it can have on our mental health? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ragy Girgis, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University, to unpack a topic that has quietly moved from the fringes of academic discussion into mainstream headlines. You have probably seen the term "AI psychosis" appearing more frequently, often surrounded by speculation, fear, or misunderstanding. But what does it actually mean, and how should we be thinking about it as these technologies become part of everyday life? Ragy brings a clinical and deeply considered perspective to the conversation. He explains that what we are seeing is not AI creating entirely new delusions out of thin air, but something more subtle and arguably more concerning. Large language models can reflect and reinforce ideas that already exist within a person's mind. For someone already vulnerable, that reinforcement can push a belief from uncertainty into absolute conviction. That shift, even if small, can have life-altering consequences. It raises uncomfortable questions about how persuasive technology interacts with fragile mental states. We also explore the comparison many people make with older internet rabbit holes, and why this new generation of AI tools feels different. There is something about conversational systems that mimic human interaction so convincingly that they can blur the line between reflection and validation. Ragy introduces a powerful analogy rooted in the story of Narcissus, which reframes the issue in a way that feels both timeless and unsettling. It is not about an external voice planting ideas, but about a mirror that becomes impossible to look away from. But this conversation is not about fear. It is about responsibility and awareness. We discuss practical steps that could help reduce risk, from how AI systems communicate their limitations, to the role of families and clinicians, and even the responsibility of tech companies to invest in research around early warning signs. There is a sense that we are only at the beginning of understanding this phenomenon, and that the decisions made now will shape how safely these tools evolve. So as AI continues to move closer to us, speaking in our language and responding in real time, how do we make sure it supports human wellbeing rather than quietly amplifying our most vulnerable moments?

In this episode, Dr. Puder sits down with Franciska de Beer, MSc, first author of landmark HAMLETT-OPHELIA Consortium papers in JAMA Psychiatry, World Psychiatry, and Psychological Medicine. They dive deep into the psychiatrist effect in first-episode psychosis, revealing that individual psychiatrists explain approximately 10% of variance in positive symptom improvement and daily functioning, even after controlling for medication dose. The conversation explores groundbreaking HAMLETT findings on early antipsychotic tapering versus maintenance, dopamine supersensitivity after high-affinity D2 blockers, sex differences in treatment outcomes and clozapine levels during menopause, and why shared decision-making and reflective functioning matter more than ever in psychosis care.   By listening to this episode, you can earn 1.25 Psychiatry CME Credits.

Sponsored By: → My one-stop shop for quality supplements: https://theswellscore.com/pages/drg Episode Description One in three women will experience postpartum depression — and most of them never see it coming. Dr. Sarah Oreck is a reproductive psychiatrist and perinatal mental health specialist, but she didn't arrive at this work from the outside looking in. She navigated IVF, fertility struggles, late-term pregnancy loss, and her own postpartum depression — and realized that if getting care was this hard for someone inside the medical system, most women didn't stand a chance. What she built from that reckoning is one of the clearest, most honest conversations Dr. G has had about what motherhood actually does to the mind, body, and identity of a woman. In this episode, you'll discover:  • Why postpartum depression affects far more women than we're told — and why rage, numbness, and panic are just as common as sadness  • How IVF, birth trauma, miscarriage history, and partner support all quietly shape your postpartum mental health before the baby even arrives  • Why the newborn phase feels so disconnected for so many mothers — and why that doesn't mean something is wrong with you If you're trying to get pregnant, already pregnant, or supporting someone who is — this is the conversation no one is having loudly enough.

We play a voicemail about someone burying a dead lizard with meth and later digging it up to do lines on the coffin! Spotify Comments! Someone questions my ibogaine/sublicad/vivtrol experience! Then we are joined by Early Brunner! Early describes growing up in Wisconsin feeling socially different and isolated, later identifying as autistic and queer. They begin using substances at a young age, first alcohol and cigarettes, then marijuana, finding that drugs helped them connect with others. In high school and early adulthood, their use escalates. After moving to Milwaukee for college, they drop out, develop a heavy alcohol problem, and become addicted to nitrous oxide. They attempt to stop drinking briefly but quickly relapse. They move to Austin, where their drinking worsens and leads to alcohol-induced psychosis, compounded by lack of sleep and unstable work. After a breakdown, they leave and move to Florida, where their drug use expands and their life becomes increasingly unstable and survival-focused. Early becomes fully immersed in a punk/crust lifestyle tied to substance use and identity. Over time, they begin recognizing the negative impact of addiction but continue using. Later, they become an EMT and witness deaths related to inhalant abuse, which they say is rarely discussed and carries significant shame. The episode ends with Early discussing their current recovery and work with “Recovery Demystified,” followed by Dave reflecting on the interview, addressing a critical listener comment, and closing with gratitude and show announcements.

David Rothkopf returns to the podcast to deliver a chilling behind-the-scenes account of a war spiraling far beyond public spin, revealing that while officials defend the Iran conflict on TV, insiders across Washington are privately terrified by how badly it's unfolding. Drawing on deep sources inside the military, intelligence, and diplomatic worlds, Rothkopf exposes a stunning lack of strategy, mounting fears of global economic shock, and a rapidly escalating conflict that experts warned would happen—and now can't control. From skyrocketing energy prices and the risk of a wider regional war to the unnerving reality that key decisions are being driven by instinct rather than planning, Rothkopf details of a crisis that is not only failing abroad but threatening to destabilize alliances, markets, and America's standing in the world.
