Halloween horror stories—making spooky season terrifyingly real. Richard Trenton Chase, the “Vampire of Sacramento,” whose 1977–1978 crimes turned neighborhood fear into a citywide lockdown. We connect the early warning signs to the unlocked-door “invitation” pattern, the frantic manhunt and FBI profile, and the courtroom fight over sanity and responsibility. With clear sourcing and zero fluff, we trace how untreated psychosis, blood-fixated delusions, and institutional failures produced one of America's most nightmarish true-crime horror cases.Inside this episodeEarly warning signs: Escalating animal cruelty, delusions, and missed interventions.Method of entry: Why unlocked doors became his “permission”—fueling the vampire legend.Timeline of murders: From Dec 29, 1977 (Ambrose Griffin) through Jan 1978 home invasions marked by mutilation and blood-drinking.Profilers move in: How the FBI Behavioral Science Unit sketched a near-perfect suspect.Arrest & evidence: The apartment, the freezer, and what they revealed about ritual and motive.Trial, verdict, and death: The sanity battle, death sentence, and end on death row.Legacy & lessons: Media panic, myth vs. pathology, and what communities can learn.If you've ever wondered how a horror legend becomes flesh-and-blood fact, this is the case. We're telling that story tonight.

In this episode, Dr. Andy Cutler interviews Dr. Peter Weiden about when and how to switch antipsychotics in schizophrenia, tackling both the pitfalls and opportunities clinicians face in practice.

What really goes on in our inner lives? Do we all think in words, narrating our experience with a constant "inner voice"? Or is that just a myth of the mind?In this conversation, Dr Tevin Naidu speaks with Professor Russell Hurlburt, pioneer of the Descriptive Experience Sampling (DES) method, a groundbreaking approach to studying inner experience using random beepers and in-depth interviews. Hurlburt challenges our assumptions about consciousness, showing that what people think their minds are like often doesn't match reality.About Russell Hurlburt:Professor of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Originator of the Descriptive Experience Sampling method, and author of six books on inner experience. He has studied everyday and clinical populations alike, from adolescents to patients with schizophrenia, anxiety, and bulimia.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Intro & Inner Experience: Who is Russell Hurlburt and why inner experience matters03:02 Consciousness vs Mind: Why Russ avoids strict definitions and focuses on lived experience05:34 Inventing the Beeper (1973): Origins of Descriptive Experience Sampling (DES)07:41 From Questionnaires to DES: Why self-report methods failed and random sampling was needed10:03 Intellectual Roots of DES: Phenomenology, eyewitness memory, and psychology's blind spots16:52 Skinner & Radical Behaviorism: Agreements, divergences, and the reality of private events18:20 How DES Works: Random beeps, sampling, and expositional interviews explained21:01 Inside the Method: What participants do during a DES study and how data is collected23:32 Iterative Interviewing: Correcting armchair reports and improving experiential fidelity30:18 Engineering Mind Meets Psychology: Why random sampling reveals hidden mental processes33:48 Biggest Surprises from DES: Counterintuitive discoveries about everyday inner experience36:16 Inner Speech is Rare: Why inner monologue is less common than most assume42:01 Phenomenology of Inner Speech: Full sentences, missing words, voices, and spatial location49:44 Clinical Relevance: How DES challenges psychiatric categories like DSM and ICD54:44 Schizophrenia & Splattered Perception: Figure/ground breakdowns in inner experience58:10 Inner Seeing vs. Mental Images: The difference between "seeing" and mere imagery1:02:26 The Problem of the Self: Why defining the self is philosophically problematic1:37:28 Future Directions in DES: AI, methodology, and a fidelity-based science of mind1:53:45 Malleability of Inner Experience: Case studies (Fran, Mel) and closing reflectionsEPISODE LINKS:- Russell's Website: https://hurlburt.faculty.unlv.edu//- Russell's DES interviews: https://hurlburt.faculty.unlv.edu/ieo/ieo.html- Russell's Books: https://hurlburt.faculty.unlv.edu//sampling.html#books - Exploring Inner Experience: https://hurlburt.faculty.unlv.edu//sampling.htmlCONNECT:- Website: https://tevinnaidu.com - Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/mindbodysolution- YouTube: https://youtube.com/mindbodysolution- Twitter: https://twitter.com/drtevinnaidu- Facebook: https://facebook.com/drtevinnaidu - Instagram: https://instagram.com/drtevinnaidu- LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/drtevinnaidu=============================Disclaimer: The information provided on this channel is for educational purposes only.

For decades, neuroscience has promised breakthroughs in treating conditions like depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's. Yet despite powerful technologies and billions invested, progress has been frustratingly slow. Why?On this episode of Big Brains, we talk with Nicole Rust, neuroscientist at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Elusive Cures. Rust argues that the traditional “domino” view of the brain—where one broken piece can simply be fixed—has held us back. Instead, she says we need to embrace the brain's true nature: a complex, dynamic system more like the weather than a machine.We explore why treatments so often fail, what makes mood such a scientific mystery, and whether a new era of brain research—powered by models, feedback loops, and fresh ways of thinking—can finally deliver the cures that have long eluded us.

Neurodiversity is a term that was recently coined in 1998 but the existence of differences in brains is as old as time. In this episode, we explore neurodiversity with Dr. Thomas Armstrong, author of The Power of Neurodiversity, Unleashing the Advantages of Your Neurodivergent Brain.  Dr. Armstrong explores 7 varieties of neurodiversity: Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Dyslexia, Intellectual Disabilities, Anxiety Disorders, Mood Disorders and Schizophrenia. He explores the advantages and challenges for each diagnosis and he is working to change the stigmas around them.  As he believes, "just as we celebrate biodiversity and cultural diversity, we need to celebrate neurodiversity, or the differences between human brains."

Margalea Warner, who has lived with schizophrenia for more than four decades, discusses her about her new memoir. Then, we'll talk with Iowa native and soprano opera singer Jessica Faselt.

Today on the show, I speak with Natasha Williams.  She has an MA from the University of Pennsylvania and attended the Bread Loaf School of English and the Bread Loaf Writers Conference. Her memoir and debut book, THE PARTS OF HIM I KEPT (Apprentice House. 2025), is an intimate account of a daughter's coming of age in the face of her father's schizophrenic unraveling. Williams investigates the limits of our medical and cultural understanding of schizophrenia while chronicling the shared burden and benefits of caring for a mentally ill family member. In the tradition of Ocean Vuong's On Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous and Robert Kolker's Hidden Valley Road, this is one family's story that asks us to consider the ways mental illness is as much a social issue as a biological condition and illuminates ways we find hope, and even thrive in the face of the extraordinary challenge of mental illness.Excerpts and essays have been published in the Bread Loaf Journal, Change Seven, LIT, Memoir Magazine, Onion River Review, Writers Digest, Writers Read, Post Road, and South Dakota Review.Today Natasha shares about her childhood and the special if not sometimes challenging relationship she had with her farther. We get a glimpse into the stories she shares in her book and the reasons for writing it. It's more than a personal story, it's a window into what we're lacking broadly in society when it comes to what we value and how we care for each other.She'll be in PROVINCETOWN, MA, Saturday, October 4, 2025. Event details HERE. Then in HIGH FALLS, NY, Sunday, October 26th, 4pm, 2025 at Blue Heron Books, 1209 NYS Route 213.

Send us a textHow do you know you're not insane?In this profound and mind-bending conversation, host Lira Ndifon sits down with author and philosopher Justin Witte to discuss his lifelong journey with a rare organic brain disorder and his book, The Shadowed Soul. Justin offers a rare, first-hand account of living with a thought disorder like schizophrenia, explaining how he uses ancient philosophy and modern science to navigate a mind that overproduces dopamine. This episode is a courageous look beyond the veil of "normalcy" to question the very nature of reality itself.Justin challenges the core of our beliefs, arguing that in a world of paradoxes, the only thing any of us can truly know is our own consciousness—the simple awareness of "I am". He shares how he has used single-pointed concentration meditation to gain control over his mind, manage his symptoms, and find peace in a brain that was once overwhelmingly loud. This is not just a discussion about mental health; it's a guide to separating your true self from the chaos of your thoughts.This is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt controlled by their own mind. You will discover:The Inner Workings of Schizophrenia: A clear, lived-experience explanation of a thought disorder versus a mood disorder, and the impact of dopamine-blocking medication.The Paradox of Sanity: Why most "sane" people can't question their own sanity and how we all believe things that aren't true.The Power of "I Am": Learn about the Vedantic concept that our true, unchanging self is pure consciousness, and that identifying with our body and mind is the source of all our problems.Meditation as Medicine: How Justin uses the practice of Trataka to empty his mind, abate delusions, and train his brain for profound mental control.This conversation is an invitation to look beyond your labels and diagnoses and connect with the one thing that never changes: the witness within.If this episode challenged you to think deeper, please show your support by liking, following, and subscribing to the Self-Reflection Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and wherever you listen.

Imagine if you couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality. If you couldn't tell whether what you were seeing or hearing was really there in front of you. What if you discovered you couldn't trust your own perceptions? Psychosis is something three out of every a hundred people will experience at some point in their lifetimes. But what exactly is it, and is it something people can learn to live with?Today we're fortunate to have on the show Dr. Jacob Ballon, the founding co-director of Stanford Medicine's Inspire Clinic, and Shannon Pagdon, a doctoral student, peer counselor, and advocate for those living with psychosis.Learn More:Learn about the Inspire 360 Program at Stanford MedicineExplore Pagdon's Psychosis Outside the Box project and additional stories of the lived experience of psychosis from the Hearing Voices NetworkRead: "Psychosis 101: Unmasking one of the brain's most mysterious Malfunctions" (Stanford Medicine, 2024)Watch: "Demystifying Psychosis" (Stanford Medicine, 2024)Read: "Two key brain systems are central to psychosis, Stanford Medicine-led study finds" (Stanford Medicine, 2024)Watch: "Schizophrenia: Early signs and treatment options" (Stanford Center for Health Education, 2022)We want to hear from your neurons!

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Adrienne Caldwell, author of Unbroken: Life Outside the Lines, for a direct conversation about growing up with parental schizophrenia, the realities of trauma, and what resilience actually looks like day-to-day. Without sensationalizing, Adrienne unpacks the stereotypes around schizophrenia, the impact of untreated mental illness on families, and the small steps that move a person from surviving to rebuilding. This episode offers grounded perspective, language that reduces stigma, and practical encouragement for anyone navigating trauma or supporting a loved one—tailored for audiences on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and search.   About the Guest  : Adrienne Caldwell is the author of Unbroken: Life Outside the Lines. Drawing from lived experience with family members who had schizophrenia and her own journey through adversity, Adrienne speaks candidly about safety, recovery, and the discipline of hope.   Key Takeaways: Schizophrenia is widely stereotyped; lived experience shows it as complex and varied, not inherently “dangerous.” Caregiver/child safety planning matters: identify safe adults, spaces, and routines—especially when symptoms like paranoia or isolation appear. Stigma drops when we separate a person's identity from a diagnosis and use precise, respectful language. Recovery is incremental: “one step” at a time creates distance from crisis and opens room for support and treatment. Community protection helps: teachers, relatives, social workers, and neighbors can serve as protective factors when home isn't stable. Trauma has long tails (e.g., anxiety, early depression, attachment challenges); naming it without shame is the start of healing. Boundaries are health tools: limiting volatile contact and seeking professional help can reduce harm. Hope is practical: small daily commitments (sleep, food, movement, therapy adherence, peer support) compound into stability. For loved ones: validate, don't minimize; encourage evaluation and evidence-based care; avoid labels that dehumanize. Content sensitivity: this episode references suicide in a non-instructional, recovery-oriented way; include crisis resources in show descriptions.   If you or someone you know is struggling or thinking about suicide, please know you are not alone.In the U.S., dial or text 988 to connect with the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential support, available 24/7.  If you're outside the U.S., please look up the local hotlines in your country or visit https://findahelpline.com/ for international crisis resources.   How to Connect with the Guest  : To connect with Adrienne Caldwell, search for her book “Unbroken: Life Outside the Lines” and her website - https://www.unbrokencaldwell.com     Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

The experiences of living with schizophrenia can be traumatic: hospitalizations, treatments, psychotic episodes. Even though the prevalence of comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in people with psychosis varies from 11% to 52%, treatment for traumatic experiences is rarely prescribed to people with schizophrenia.  In this episode, host Rachel Star Withers, a diagnosed schizophrenic, and co-host Gabe Howard discuss managing the trauma of living with schizophrenia and why it's important. Our hosts welcome guest expert Dr. Hector Rodriguez, who is trained in psychiatry, trauma-informed care, and neuroimaging. He blends neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and lifestyle interventions to help people strengthen their minds and reclaim their power.

Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with a focus on a risk factor of high blood pressure in children, the need for blood pressure to be monitored earlier in life,  and a report of the overall health in children and addressing childhood chronic diseases due to ultra processed foods, vaccine policies, lack of exercise and chemical exposure. Then the conversation shifts to the weight loss drug Mounjaro/Zepbound may be able to shrink breast cancer tumors as proven in a study with mice. It's an unexpected finding which may lead to a potential, new therapeutic use for the drug beyond it's current application for obesity and diabetes. Next, Florida makes news after the announcement was made of the state lifting school vaccine mandates, there's a new hope for people suffering from mental health issues with a new, monthly-injectable drug had been approved for Schizophrenia and Bipolar 1 Disorder, and time spent sitting on the toilet is at an all-time high due to phone use — leading to a 46% higher rate of hemorrhoids. The conversation rounds out with listener questions for Dr. Ken, including an increased requirement for pre-approval for medical tests, how to know what doctor to go see in a world now full of specialists and debating what insurance will cover, the need for a quality primary care provider, and learning about the common skin condition called eczema.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Are ChatGPT and other AI chatbots inducing psychosis? Or exacerbating it? Are people being hospitalized or even killed because the bots seem too human, too understanding, too lifelike? To be clear, the bots are not human. They are software. But they are so convincingly programmed to speak like people that users, especially ones who may already be having trouble discerning reality, begin to sense that the bot is alive and that the user somehow unlocked its sentience. Since the bots are also set up to be flattering, even sycophantic to the user, the connection is made even stronger. Maggie Hamilton Dupré, senior staff writer for Futurist, explains several recent cases where AI, lacking the judgment a human could provide, may have set off dangerous and even fatal outcomes.Wits Reunion Show at the Fitzgerald TheaterJohn Moe's writing classes at the Loft Literary CenterMath Emergency Farewell Show at the Amsterdam Bar and HallThank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

For individuals living with schizophrenia, the world can be populated by voices, visions, or other sensory experiences that are intensely real yet imperceptible to others. These hallucinations, which are a defining feature of schizophrenia, are not mere figments of imagination but rather vivid, often distressing, and deeply influential aspects of their daily reality. Today's exploration aims to shed light on the phenomenon of hallucinations in schizophrenia, going beyond a diagnostic perspective to consider the actual experience, and the profound impact on an individual's sense of self and connection to the world around them. Guest host, Rachel Star Withers, a diagnosed schizophrenic, and guest Christopher Grant have a real, raw discussion about what experiencing schizophrenia hallucinations is like.Please Note: Our regular host, Gabe Howard, will be back next week! “Just because something is in the uncanny valley, it doesn't always mean it's terrifying or deserves demonization. I'm not blind to that fact that it's off-putting to people through the perspective of a neurotypical person. I'm glad to say today most of my hallucinations are pretty, I don't even want to say friendly. They're just content, like a neutral energy. But, for a long time, I was constantly in a state of like terror, like fight or flight terror when I'd experience it.” ~Christopher Grant aka XO RAD Magical Our guest, Christopher Grant, is a Mi'gmaw filmmaker from Pabineau First Nation, New Brunswick. Inspired by the intense absurdity of life and death, Chris animates to express the humour and terror of existence. He has worked with the NFB's Hothouse project, and his work has been exhibited at galleries, museums and film festivals internationally. He is also known for his role on TikTok as XORADMAGICAL, where he creates art and answers questions all relating to his experiences with schizophrenia in daily life.

The piece was selected as an Apple News Story of the Month. Aviv spoke with Apple News In Conversation host Shumita Basu about how evolving science is challenging long-held beliefs about schizophrenia and its causes.

What happens when someone living in and out of homelessness, battling schizophrenia, and cycling through hospitals and medications discovers ketogenic therapy?In this powerful interview, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with registered nutritional therapist Moira Newiss about one of the most remarkable published case reports to date.Despite overwhelming socioeconomic challenges, including periods of living in shelters and cooking on nothing more than a hot plate, this individual achieved sustained ketosis on a simple, affordable carnivore-based ketogenic diet.The result? His schizophrenia and psychosis went into remission.In the interview, Moira shares:The details of his journey from homelessness and hospitalization to stabilityThe simple, affordable foods he used to stay in ketosisThe barriers he faced, from relapse cycles to limited resourcesWhy this case matters for clinicians, researchers, and anyone seeking hope in the face of serious mental illnessThis case is more than a single success story, it challenges assumptions about what's possible with nutrition, even under the hardest circumstances. For someone who had been deeply embedded in psychiatric care in the UK and not improving on conventional treatment, ketogenic therapy offered a turning point.

Host Rachel Star Withers, a diagnosed schizophrenic, and guest Christopher Grant have a real, raw discussion about what experiencing schizophrenia hallucinations is like. “By the time I was in university, I started hearing whispering in the vents of my apartment. Then it suddenly became more focused. Like Command, go take a walk right now or this will happen to you. It continued on and it intensified all the way until as recently as 2022 I've had a lot of ups and downs. I've had a lot of moments where I hit rock bottom personally and then had to find a way to swim back up from that.” — Christopher Grant “We would have classically called it spirits. My grandfather, before he died, when he heard that I was going through the symptoms of schizophrenia, he said, there's no word for it in Mi'kmaq. They just would have said, you're going through a test of the spirits. You're going on this experience where you have to, learn yourself, learn your strengths, learn your boundaries, and don't give up no matter how turbulent it gets.”   — Christopher Grant Our Guest, Christopher Grant, is a Mi'gmaw filmmaker from Pabineau First Nation, New Brunswick.

In this conversation, Jerry Marzinsky and his colleagues delve into the complex nature of voices experienced by individuals, particularly those diagnosed with schizophrenia. They discuss the patterns of negativity associated with these voices, the psychiatric community's approach to hallucinations, and the influence of external entities, including demons. The discussion also touches on the impact of substance abuse, the phenomenon of shadow people, and the spiritual warfare aspect of mental illness.Marzinsky shares personal experiences from his work in psychiatric hospitals and prisons, highlighting the resistance he faced from the psychiatric community when attempting to address the spiritual components of mental health.

Jerry Marzinsky returns—this time with Brian from Demon Erasers—to unpack the line between “voices,” demonic oppression, and modern mind-control narratives. We dig into what Jerry calls the patterns the voices run, why standard psych drugs don't fix root causes, how deliverance and the MACE Energy Method can break trauma loops, and why symbolism/sigils keep showing up in extreme cases.

Tim Dillon jokes about schizophrenia in his Netflix special, "I'm Your Mother".

The psychedelic revolutionWill LSD, Psilocybin, MDMA, and Ketamine treatments live up to the hype?For decades, psychedelics were derided as dangerous recreational drugs; now many claim they have the potential to revolutionise the treatment of mental health. With hundreds of clinical trials now taking place, the psychedelic therapeutic market is predicted to be over ten billion within the decade. It has been widely thought that psychedelics are effective at treating mental health because of the way they change brain chemistry. But studies from King's College London and Johns Hopkins suggest this is an error, arguing that it's the psychedelic experience that aids mental wellbeing, not the physical brain changes.Should we stop focussing on brain chemistry as the solution to mental health? What is it about psychedelic experience that can aid mental well being and will psychedelics live up to their promise and usher in a mental health renaissance?

In this explosive episode of Nephilim Death Squad, David Lee Corbo (The Raven) and Top Lobsta sit down with Premise — a Philly-based gold-certified music producer, writer, and truth seeker. With over 20 years in the industry, Premise exposes the dark spiritual underbelly of the music business: from satanic covens and ritual abuse, to hidden frequency manipulation and AI-driven “Voice of God” technology.The squad dives deep into how the entertainment industry serves as a battleground for powers and principalities, why music is more than just sound, and how ancient Babylonian rituals still echo in today's culture. They also explore the dangers of psychedelics, covert government weapons that mimic schizophrenia, and the role of Christ as the only true safeguard in a fallen world.Whether you're curious about the occult in hip hop, the inversion of spirituality in pop culture, or the reality of modern-day possession and ritual sacrifice, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about music, power, and the unseen war for human souls.

Send us a textEver found yourself in a heated political argument with a friend or family member and wondered why you're fighting so passionately for politicians who don't even know you exist? In this thought-provoking episode of Tales from the First Tee, I explore this peculiar human tendency and question whether we've become a society that needs coaching just to make it through holiday dinners without conflict.From the fairways of Charleston comes the hilarious true story of "Wi-Fi and Kris Kringle" – two polar opposite golfers united by their love of the game and spontaneous tee times. When a football bet between these friends leads to an unexpected forfeit, a simple betting satchel becomes both a global traveler and possibly a curse. You'll laugh as I recount how this satchel made its way to Paris for a Taylor Swift concert and mysteriously changed the fortunes of its new owner.I also dive into our collective tendency to take offense at everything, examining the evolution of various forms of "shaming" and questioning what triggered this heightened sensitivity. With some sobering statistics about America's weight gain over the past 50 years, I ask whether our changing food landscape and sedentary lifestyles have created unintended consequences that we're now too sensitive to discuss.The episode wraps up with "The Schizophrenia of Golf," where I explore the mental battle that happens on every swing. If you've ever talked to yourself on the course or wondered why your pre-shot routine falls apart under pressure, you'll recognize the "two entities" I describe fighting for control in every golfer's mind. It's a reminder that golf truly is "80% mental and 20% mental."Whether you're a golfer, a politics-weary American, or just someone who enjoys stories that make you think while making you laugh, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how we interact with each other and ourselves. Take a listen, and maybe next time you'll think twice before defending a politician who doesn't know your name or firing your "internal caddy" after a missed putt.Support the showSpotify Apple podcastsAmazon Music all other streaming services

What do you really know about schizophrenia? Guest host Rachel Star Withers — who lives with schizophrenia — takes us beyond the headlines and horror movies in this powerful, honest, and enlightening episode of Inside Mental Health. Joined by neuropsychologist and schizophrenia researcher Dr. Derin Cobia, Rachel explores what schizophrenia is, what it isn't, and how it silently shapes the lives of millions. They break down the real symptoms — including hallucinations, delusions, cognitive disruptions, and depression — and discuss why “positive” and “negative” symptoms are misleading terms. Rachel shares personal stories of psychosis, navigating daily life, and the lifesaving importance of support, while Dr. Cobia unpacks the science: from genetics to stigma to what the media consistently gets wrong. Whether you've never met someone with schizophrenia (spoiler: you have) or you're supporting a loved one, this episode replaces fear with empathy and misunderstanding with clarity. You'll come away informed, moved, and maybe even surprised. Key takeaways: the truth about schizophrenia's symptoms and causes why stigma is deadly — and how to dismantle it what support systems really make a difference how schizophrenia affects cognition, not just perception Hit play to get past the stereotypes and meet the human reality. Cold Open Transcript:Rachel Star Withers (guest host): I'm sure there's some listeners right now who are thinking, well, I don't have schizophrenia. No one close to me does. Why should I care? Dr. Derin Cobia: You know, schizophrenia, it indirectly affects everyone and it affects us economically, socially, and culturally. Even though somebody may not be dealing with somebody with schizophrenia, now, who's to say they won't in the future? And even if they don't, I would say just general education and awareness about it reduces this stigma. Our guest, Dr. Derin Cobia, is a neuropsychologist and neuroscientist with particular interest in utilizing neuroimaging techniques to study how changes in brain structure influence cognition and behavior. He is also a professor at Brigham Young University. Dr. Cobia's laboratory is focused on the implementation of computational anatomy tools to study neuropsychiatric diseases, particularly schizophrenia. His interests are in the clinical and biological heterogeneity that exists in schizophrenia by taking a cognitive neuroscience perspective. His work has involved linking cognitive and neurobiological characteristics to important clinical dimensions of the illness. Our guest host, Rachel Star Withers creates videos documenting her schizophrenia, ways to manage, and let others like her know they're not alone and can still live an amazing life. She has written “Lil Broken Star: Understanding Schizophrenia for Kids” and a tool for schizophrenics, “To See in the Dark: Hallucination and Delusion Journal.” Learn more at RachelStarLive.com.

Send a Text to the Moms - please include your contact info if you want a response. thanks!A “Just Us” episode - inspired by listener inputMany listeners have asked us to do an episode about recovery that is “in the middle” - not miraculous, not superstar, but appreciating when “ordinary” is, in itself, a miracle.Along the way we also talk about President Trump's Executive Order on Homelessness - On July 24, the White House issued an Executive Order, “Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets,” which directs federal agencies to make it easier to involuntarily treat people with serious mental illnesses as part of a bid to address homelessness across the United States.Addressing Homelessness and Mental IllnessThe group discussed President Trump's executive order on addressing homelessness and mental illness, with Randye, Mindy, and Mimi expressing concerns about the approach. They agreed that while affordable housing is important, it alone is not enough to solve homelessness, and that involuntary treatment must be accompanied by a robust mental health system. Mindy highlighted the need for both conservative and liberal support to create a comprehensive continuum of care, while the group criticized the lack of funding for mental health services under the current administration. They shared personal stories of individuals with mental illness who were unable to access appropriate treatment due to system failures, emphasizing the urgent need for a balanced approach that combines housing, treatment, and support services.Challenges of Schizophrenia RecoveryThe group discussed the challenges faced by individuals with mental illness, particularly focusing on those who are not in active psychosis but still experience significant negative symptoms. The Moms explained that recovery does not mean complete recovery but rather being in a process of improvement, and highlighted the eight principal negative symptoms of schizophrenia, including apathy, blunted emotions, social withdrawal, and anhedonia. The group explored how negative symptoms affect daily life and recovery for their sons.Challenges of Schizophrenia's Negative SymptomsThe group discussed the challenges of managing schizophrenia, particularly focusing on negative symptoms and their impact on daily life. Mindy shared her experience with her son Jim, who struggles with negative symptoms such as lack of initiative and social withdrawal, leading to isolation and difficulty engaging in activities.  Mimi shared her positive experience at Dr. Laitman's barbecue event with her son, emphasizing the value of community and understanding among families facing similar challenges. The hosts also mentioned President Trump's executive order on homelessness and encouraged listeners to create local support groups for individuals with mental health issues.Randye described her son's journey with schizophrenia, including periods of improvement followed by setbacks, and highlighted the importance of structure, community, and purpose and treatment in managing the condition. Both women emphasized the difficulty of explaining negative symptoms to others and the need for more support and understanding for individuals with schizophreniWant to know more?Join our facebook page Our websites:Randye KayeMindy Greiling Miriam (Mimi) Feldman

“Schizophrenia” is a scary word. A scary word that 1% of the population manages. Movies and TV shows have long created stigma around those with schizophrenia. But how do you stop fear? With knowledge. On a special bonus episode of the Inside Schizophrenia podcast, host Rachel Star Withers, a diagnosed schizophrenic, sits down with Dr. Derin Cobia to break down the symptoms of schizophrenia, current treatments, and what is on the horizon of schizophrenia research.

You can also listen to the episode here: https://thebraincandypodcast.com/episode/933Susie's Chili's is back after a two year closure due to fire, and she's finally got her baby back. And we learn the reason she is obsessed with the fast casual restaurant chain in the first place, and how it relates to her time on reality tv. We hear the follow-up on a man who jumped off a Disney cruise ship to save his daughter who fell off the boat, and we cheer on dads doing superhero shit. We learn about some people who, after decades of severe schizophrenia, have made complete recoveries after receiving treatment for a separate disease, which is showing doctors that there might be more at play than just a mental illness in the first place. And we learn the fascinating downsides to going back to "normal" after living with mental illness. Susie tells the story of a pediatrician who accidentally killed his toddler son, how he channeled his pain into saving lives, and why workaholism can be a powerful tool for people struggling with grief.DON'T MISS LIVE TRIVIA NIGHT: https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsFollow Susie on Instagram,it's a laugh a minute: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you go to https://nutrafol.com and enter the promo code BRAINCANDYThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
