Is there evidence that the ketogenic diet can cure schizophrenia?Recent comments from HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sparked headlines…and controversy. While “cure” isn't the right word, the conversation has brought much-needed attention to an emerging field: metabolic psychiatry.In this video, Dr. Bret Scher breaks down what the science actually shows about ketogenic metabolic therapy as a potential adjunctive treatment for serious mental illness, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder.You'll learn about:What nutritional ketosis is and why brain energy matters for serious mental illnessHow psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder involve underlying metabolic dysfunctionEarly evidence on ketogenic therapy for serious mental illness from Stanford, Edinburgh, and The Ohio State UniversityHow consistent lived experiences aligned with emerging clinical data warrant serious scientific explorationWhat new research is on the wayKetogenic therapy is emerging as a serious metabolic strategy that may expand how we think about treating complex psychiatric conditions. We are now faced with the opportunity to study it rigorously, apply it thoughtfully, and ensure patients have access to every tool that could help.
Living with schizophrenia is traumatic — full stop. Hallucinations, delusions, hospitalizations, lost relationships, and stigma can fracture how you see yourself and the world. But how do you process all of that without being labeled dangerous, unstable, or misunderstood? In this episode of “Inside Schizophrenia,” Rachel Star Withers (who lives with schizophrenia) and cohost Gabe Howard explore practical, safe ways to express your schizophrenia journey — without needing to be an artist, writer, or performer. From journaling (even if you hate it) to movement, storytelling, and simple word exercises, they break down how expression can support emotional regulation, restore personal agency, and help organize traumatic experiences. Listeners will learn: why you don't need artistic talent to benefit from expressive outlets how storytelling helps organize traumatic memories into something manageable what caregivers and loved ones should know about encouraging safe expression Later, Rachel is joined by singer, songwriter, and poet Susan Wojnar, who shares her powerful lived experience with late-onset schizophrenia and how creativity both challenged and supported her recovery. Susan discusses hearing voices within music, reclaiming her guitar from psychosis, and why sharing her story through poetry helped her — and others — feel less alone. Susan's new book, "White Darkness: Poetic Tales of the Schizophrenic Experience," is available now. This episode isn't about creating masterpieces. It's about finding your way to release what you've been carrying and take control of your narrative. With 25 years of lived experience with schizophrenia, Susan Wojnar's book debut transcends the traditional boundaries of memoir, diagnosis, and verse to offer readers a profoundly human window into the experience of psychosis. With raw honesty, stark imagery, and a lyrical voice that sings even in silence, “White Darkness” dares readers — caregivers, mental health professionals, those who struggle with mental health issues, and everyday people alike — to step inside a fragmented yet beautifully defiant world. Our host, Rachel Star Withers, (Link: www.rachelstarlive.com) is an entertainer, international speaker, video producer, and schizophrenic. She has appeared on MTV's Ridiculousness, TruTV, NBC's America's Got Talent, Marvel's Black Panther, TUBI's #shockfight, Goliath: Playing with Reality, and is the host of the HealthLine podcast “Inside Schizophrenia”. She grew up seeing monsters, hearing people in the walls, and having intense urges to hurt herself. Rachel creates videos documenting her schizophrenia, ways to manage, and letting others like her know they are not alone and can still live an amazing life. She has created a kid's mental health comic line, The Adventures of ____.

We're joined by Rosi Braidotti, Distinguished University Professor Emerita at Utrecht University and founding director of the Centre for the Humanities, for a wide-ranging conversation on posthumanism as both a philosophical project and a political orientation.Braidotti's work has constructed one of the most sustained and consequential accounts of what comes after the collapse of Eurocentric 'humanism.' The conversation traces the long arc from her early intervention on nomadic subjectivity, a materialist corrective to postmodernism's drift into linguistic relativism, through the ethical and ontological turn that her posthumanist project represents. Where poststructuralism gave us the critique of the subject as origin, nomadism gave us a subject that is grounded, embodied, multiple, and in motion.Central to the episode is the missing link in the American reception of French theory: the radical materialist tradition of Deleuze and Guattari, which diagnosed capitalism's schizophrenic logic (its ability to deterritorialize and adapt faster than any opposition) long before it became common sense. Braidotti traces the suppression of that critique through the French Communist Party's blacklists, the invention of "French theory" as an exportable product stripped of its political economy, and the consequences for a left that lost the ability to think technogenesis, cognitive capitalism, or the mutation of subjectivity under media saturation.The conversation then turns to fascism as concept rather than historical event: the philosophical move that Deleuze and Guattari made and that Foucault named in his preface to Anti-Oedipus. This allows Braidotti to connect micro-fascism (the cult of negativity, the eroticization of power-as-humiliation, the viral spread of impotence) to the coherent neo-fascist philosophical tradition running from Alain de Benoit through the Heritage Foundation and Budapest to Peter Thiel's Yale dissertation on sacrifice. While the left blocked its own analytical capacities, the right was doing serious philosophical work.Against all of this, Bradiotti proposes affirmative ethics: a Spinozist praxis of activating what a body can do. The episode ends thinking through scale, how affirmative ethics operates from the city to the planetary, and the urgency of the European federalist project as the only existing institutional attempt to participate in decisions about what we could possibly become.Some references:Rosi BraidottiPatterns of Dissonance, Polity Press, 1991Nomadic Subjects: Embodiment and Sexual Difference in Contemporary Feminist Theory, Columbia University Press, 1994Metamorphoses: Towards a Materialist Theory of Becoming, Polity Press, 2002Transpositions: On Nomadic Ethics, Polity Press, 2006The Posthuman, Polity Press, 2013Gilles Deleuze & Félix GuattariAnti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, 1972 (English trans. 1977, preface by Michel Foucault)A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, 1980Félix GuattariThe Three Ecologies, 1989 (English trans. 1991)Michel FoucaultPreface to the American edition of Anti-Oedipus, 1977SpinozaEthicsTheological-Political TreatiseAntonio NegriThe Savage Anomaly: The Power of Spinoza's Metaphysics and Politics, 1981Genevieve LloydPart of Nature: Self-Knowledge in Spinoza's Ethics, University of Minnesota Press, 1994Spinoza and the Ethics, Routledge, 1996Antonio DamasioDescartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain, 1994Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain, 2003Simone de BeauvoirThe Second Sex, 1949Frantz Fanon — mentioned in relation to decolonial thought and the anti-fascist generation Herbert MarcuseOne-Dimensional Man, 1964Eros and Civilization, 1955Rosa Luxemburg — cited as an ecological thinker; the dialogue with Lenin in Zurich narrated by Isaiah Berlin Isaiah Berlin — on Spinoza and radical enlightenment; on Rosa LuxemburgAltiero SpinelliThe Ventotene Manifesto, 1941 — founding document of the European federalist projectDonna Haraway"A Cyborg Manifesto," 1985VNS Matrix"A Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century," 1991Alain de Benoist — neo-fascist philosopher, intellectual architect of the European New Right; cited as formative influence on Steve Bannon and the Heritage Foundation / Budapest / Rome foundation networksJulius Evola — philosopher of Italian fascism; cited alongside de Benoist as daily reference for BannonPeter Thiel — PhD dissertation on René Girard and the concept of sacrifice, Stanford / Yale; position papers on technological selection and extinction
Dr. Tim Murphy discusses the astronomical costs associated with schizophrenia, and proposals to address the problem.
A board-certified psychiatrist trained at one of the most prestigious psychiatric institutions in the world was fired for refusing to put a young woman on medication after the last prescription nearly killed her. Dr. Aruna Nammi left the system and built something radically different, combining functional medicine with 5,000-year-old Ayurvedic wisdom to reverse conditions psychiatry calls chronic and incurable. We go deep on why depression is a disconnection syndrome, the three root causes of all disease, what ancient traditions understood about psychosis that modern psychiatry ignores, and the shift in consciousness that may be unfolding on this planet right now.Trinergy Health Website Visit Center for Integrated Behavioral HealthDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

11:05 - 11:22 (17 mins) Dr. Tim Murphy Author: The Christ Cure: 10 Biblical Ways to Heal from Trauma, Tragedy, and PTSDThe Enormous Cost of Failing to Treat SchizophreniaBy Tim Murphy, Bestselling Author of The Christ CureIts cost is driven by the failure to intervene early, provide sustained care, and recognize that neglect is the most expensive option of all. A newly released study on schizophrenia exposes a hard truth: The greatest cost of this illness is not treatment, it is neglect. Schizophrenia affects roughly 1.2 percent of the adult population, (3.7 million), yet its annual economic burden has reached a staggering $366.8 billion. Most of this cost is not driven by medical care, but by poor, delayed, or entirely absent treatment. The dominant narrative suggests that serious mental illness is simply expensive. 11:41 – 11:56 (15mins) Feature: “CHAT BOX!!”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode, we break the thermometer and watch the mercury spill out as we discover that temperature is far stranger than it seems. We first ran this episode in 2021: Five stories that run the gamut from snakes to stars. We start out underwater, with a species of snake that has evolved a devious trick for keeping warm. Then we hear the tale of a young man whose seemingly simple method of warming up might be the very thing making him cold. And Senior Correspondent Molly Webster blows the lid off the idea that 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is a sound marker of health.

Pat Doering and Mike Wilkerson share personal experiences with real-life hostage scenarios and negotiations. What stood out to you most in their comparisons between Hollywood and reality? The episode discusses the importance of not “playing into” a subject's delusions during negotiation. Why might affirming a delusional belief be risky, and what are alternative approaches? The team talks about the integration of mental health professionals into law enforcement responses. What are the potential challenges and benefits discussed concerning this collaboration? Both hosts and Dr. Morgan mention the rise in mental health-related crisis calls. How do you think police departments can best equip themselves to handle these situations? The episode criticizes the decision to send an additional "hostage" (Spencer) into the crisis situation as unrealistic and dangerous. Why is this problematic from a tactical and negotiation standpoint? With so much of the episode's critique revolving around writing choices for suspense versus realism, do you think it's possible for TV dramas to balance excitement and accuracy? Why or why not? The discussion touched on situational awareness, both in professional and personal life. How might increased public education on situational awareness benefit everyday safety? After watching this episode and listening to the breakdown, do you think shows like Criminal Minds help or hurt public perception of law enforcement, negotiation, and mental health crises? Why?

Dr. Read Montague, PhD, is a professor and director of the Center for Human Neuroscience Research at Virginia Tech and an expert in how dopamine and serotonin shape human learning, motivation and decision-making. We discuss how they impact focused effort in the context of short- and long-term goals of all kinds. Also, how SSRIs and low-effort, high-engagement activities reduce the rewarding properties of dopamine, and how AI algorithms are revolutionizing understanding of the brain.

Send us a textThis week, my guest is Tracy Hicks, a doctorally-prepared and dual-certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. She also holds an MBA, which is particularly useful in her role as a CEO.Tracy is the founder of C-Trilogy Comprehensive Clinical Care and C-Trilogy Outreach, a certified community behavioral health clinic that provides mental health services, substance use support, primary care, and 24-hour crisis help.I was excited to talk with Tracy, who is an expert in the care and treatment of individuals with schizophrenia, because in my 36 years as a nurse, I have encountered only two patients with this diagnosis, both of whom were teenagers. I knew very little about the condition and was eager to learn from Tracy, and she did not disappoint.We discussed long-acting injectables as a successful treatment option, the challenges of compliance, and the management of a long-term chronic disease. We also emphasized the crucial importance of a strong support system to help patients lead meaningful lives.A recurring theme in our conversation was Tracy's passion when discussing these complex cases. This emotion stems from her lived experience, as two of her beloved family members—her father and her daughter—both have the disease. Growing up with the stigma of having a father with schizophrenia has shaped her perspective, and even though her daughter is now grown, Tracy's concerns for her never waver.Tracy's days are incredibly busy. Between practicing in the clinic, serving on multiple boards that advocate for marginalized populations, and shaping the next generation of nurses as an Associate Professor, people often ask her how she manages it all. Her answer? When you align with your purpose from God, He will guide your steps. She truly is a blessing to her community.In the five-minute snippet: Be prepared to jump!

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Seventeen rehab stints. A movie about his addiction. A guest house so they could keep him close. Rob and Michele Reiner did everything parents are supposed to do — and now they're dead, allegedly at the hands of the son they never stopped trying to save. You've been flooding us with questions, and we're answering the hardest ones. When does love become enabling? Why did Alan Jackson walk away from this case two weeks before arraignment? What really happened at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party the night before? We dig into the schizophrenia diagnosis, the conservatorship that was reportedly in the works, the blood-covered hotel room, and what Jake and Romy Reiner are facing as they bury both parents while their brother awaits trial. Rob once said he had to "act" like a disciplinarian because tough love wasn't his nature. Michele said she regretted believing rehab counselors who called Nick a liar. The system failed this family at every turn — treatment programs, mental health intervention, the courts. And now we're left with questions that don't have satisfying answers. This episode is about sitting with the uncomfortable, working through the impossible, and trying to understand how a family with every advantage still ended up here.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #TrueCrime #Schizophrenia #AddictionAndMentalHealth #AlanJackson #BeingCharlie #CelebrityMurder #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Has Modern Technology Killed Evolution? Modern advancements allow us to live in extreme environments and survive conditions that would've once been fatal. Do these technological leaps mean our species has finally bypassed the ancient laws of biological evolution?

In this episode of The Raven, David “The Raven” Corbo breaks down the ICE shooting incident, algorithm-driven narrative warfare, and how modern media systems manufacture division through selective framing and emotional manipulation.What starts as a single police shooting quickly reveals something much larger: algorithmic reality tunnels, ideological echo chambers, and how tragedy is weaponized to pit people against each other while truth becomes secondary to narrative loyalty.The episode also goes far deeper—into generational trauma, spiritual oppression, family testimony, and why personal history matters when interpreting the unseen forces shaping culture.Topics covered include:The ICE shooting and why different people saw different “realities”Algorithmic censorship and selective footage suppressionLeft vs right narrative warfareMedia manipulation and emotional primingSpiritual oppression, generational iniquity, and testimonyWhy division is always the real objectiveDiscernment in an age of manufactured outrageThis is not a hot take.This is pattern recognition.If you feel like the truth keeps getting buried under outrage cycles, this episode explains why.raven ice
For decades, the narrative surrounding schizophrenia has focused almost exclusively on controlling symptoms. But with no cure, can someone actually get better? Recovery in the context of schizophrenia isn't about the absence of symptoms. It's a deeply personal process — one that centers on restoring hope, self-determination, and a meaningful life, even when hallucinations, delusions, and setbacks continue to exist. In this episode, host Rachel Star Withers, who lives openly with schizophrenia, and co-host Gabe Howard explore what recovery really means for people with serious mental illness. From clinical symptom remission and functional abilities to redefining purpose and identity, they unpack how recovery can look — and why it rarely fits the “back to normal” expectation held by loved ones and society. Later in the episode, Dr. Mark Ragins, who is a pioneer and leading voice in person-centered, recovery-based psychiatry, joins the conversation. Listener takeaways why people — not illness — should be at the center of treatment how recovery can include setbacks and still be real progress how the psychosis triangle explains both breakdown and healing how relationships can stabilize psychosis even when symptoms persist Listen now as this episode challenges outdated ideas of recovery, validating lived experience and showing how a meaningful life is possible with schizophrenia, symptoms and all. Our guest, Mark Ragins, MD, has been a psychiatrist for 40 years, working in community mental health centers, as the Medical Director for 27 years at the Mental Health America Village in Long Beach, California, an award-winning model of recovery-based mental health services, as the students' psychiatrist at Cal State Long Beach, and on street medicine teams working with homeless people on the streets throughout LA county. His book, “Journeys Beyond the Frontier: A Rebellious Guide to Psychosis and Other Extraordinary Experiences,” is based on true stories of working with some of the most underserved and difficult-to-engage people in our community. Countless people have come to experience the work being done at the Village firsthand and Mark has given hundreds of presentations and lectures to wide-ranging audiences nationally and internationally. He is one of the true pioneers and leaders of person-centered, recovery-based psychiatry. Many of his writings are posted online at markragins.com, including his short book A Road to Recovery. He was also featured in Steve Lopez's book The Soloist. Over the years, Mark has won a number of awards, including from the American Psychiatric Association, the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association, NAMI, and Mental Health Advocacy Services.

When Victor's hallucinations and violent impulses went untreated, the result was devastating: nine members of the Peterson family murdered in their home, a community's trust shattered, and a national awakening to the dire need for mental health care.IN THIS EPISODE: One October morning in 2018, sixteen-year-old Karlie Gusé walked away from her California home after attending a party the night before – and despite three witnesses who saw her walking with a piece of paper in her hand, she was never seen again. (She Disappeared, Paper In Hand) *** A Sunday drive to an antiques fair becomes an encounter with the impossible when Richard and Helen witness a massive UFO mothership. (Mothership In Gorse Field) *** A suspicious purchase of a freezer chest, a chainsaw, and a wood chipper during a snowstorm seemed strange - but it would lead investigators to one of the most shocking murder cases in Connecticut history, and revolutionize how crimes are solved. (Wood Chipper Murder of Hele Crafts) *** In 18th century England, a wealthy grocer named Henry Trigg was so terrified of grave robbers that he made an unusual request in his will: instead of burial, his body should be stored in a coffin in his barn's rafters for at least 30 years - but his attempt to protect his remains would lead to an ironic and mysterious fate. (Coffin In The Rafters) *** In the quiet farming community of Shell Lake, Saskatchewan, a family's peaceful life was shattered on August 15, 1967, when Victor Hoffman, a troubled young man with untreated mental illness, randomly chose the Peterson home and methodically killed nine members of their family - leaving only two survivors and forever changing how rural Canada approached mental health care. (The Horror That Shook Shell Lake) *** The idea that aliens visited Earth in ancient times has captivated millions through books, documentaries, and TV shows - but what does our willingness to credit extraterrestrials rather than ancient peoples reveal about modern society?

We talk about what schizophrenia really is (and isn't), the impact of stigma on individuals and families, and the importance of person-centered, empathetic care.

Helping a Loved One with Schizophrenia Treating OCD! My Hands Might Be Contaminated! How To Mend an Angry, Broken Heart The answers to today's questions are brief and were written prior to the show. Listen to the podcast for a more in-depth discussion of each question. Here are the questions for today's podcast. Joel asks: How can we use TEAM CBT to help a patient or loved one struggling with schizophrenia? Jean asks: Since CBT won't work with OCD, should we use exposure or the Hidden Emotion Technique instead? Jim asks: When someone has objectively hurt you, like your partner has had an affair, how do you get over that pain? And here are the answers. Question #1 Dear Dr Burns, I learned from you that the foundational principle of CBT is that our emotions, and ultimately our behaviors, are rooted in thoughts or beliefs. Are there emotional and/or behavioral disorders (perhaps like schizophrenia) that are rooted in abnormal neurobiological brain pathologies, rather than in distorted cognitions or self-defeating beliefs? And if so, is TEAM CBT relevant to helping those suffering from these "psychoses"? With much gratitude, respect, and affection, Joel Question #2 Dear Dr. Burns: I'm curious if you have thoughts about the problem of talking back to the obsessive thoughts in OCD. Thank you, Jean Question #3 Dear Dr. Burns: When someone has objectively hurt you, like your partner has had an affair, how do you get over that pain? I am not having thoughts that I did anything wrong, or there is something the matter with me, I feel sad, hurt and confused and angry. Jim Thanks for listening today! Matt, Rhonda, and David
As shots rang out on March 30, 1981 outside the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., President Ronald Reagan and three others lie seriously wounded. Just two months after Reagan was sworn in as the 40th president, John Hinckley Jr. shocked the world because of his movie star obsession.What followed was chaos. America learned of the deep psychosis that led to Hinckley's obsession with actress Jodie Foster, and how, in his mind, he did it all for her. His trial gripped the nation. Many expected a guilty verdict, but his acquittal on grounds of insanity sparked outrage and forever changed how the law viewed mental illness.Now, for the first time, Hinckley tells his own story. He takes us through an early life of unfulfilled dreams, a music career and college degree that slipped away, and the descent into a mind overcome by delusion. He recounts the years spent in confinement at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, the slow climb toward recovery, and the people who helped him find his way back.A life defined by a single, horrific act becomes something more: a story of mental illness, redemption, and the long road to understanding the man behind one of America's most infamous moments. JOHN HINCKLEY JR—WHO I REALLY AM
Nick Reiner was diagnosed with schizophrenia years ago and was being treated with medication that sources say was working. Then three to four weeks before he allegedly stabbed his parents to death, doctors changed his prescription. That's when he went off the rails. His behavior became erratic and dangerous. His parents saw it. They were alarmed. By the time they brought him to Conan O'Brien's Christmas party on December 13th, they were bringing him just to keep an eye on him. His mother Michele had been telling friends they were at their wits' end.Less than 24 hours later, Rob and Michele Reiner were dead in the master bedroom of their Brentwood home. Multiple sharp force injuries. Time from injury to death was minutes.Yesterday high-profile attorney Alan Jackson withdrew from Nick's defense after three weeks of investigation. But before leaving he told reporters Nick is not guilty of murder under California law. He's prohibited from explaining why.Former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke joins me to analyze what the behavioral warning signs reveal, how a medication change factors into predicting violence, and what Alan Jackson's exit means for the case ahead. We break down the pattern of escalation in Nick's history and why having unlimited resources couldn't save this family.#NickReiner #RobReiner #TrueCrimeToday #Schizophrenia #FBI #RobinDreeke #AlanJackson #BrentwoodMurders #MicheleReiner #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The night before Rob and Michele Reiner were stabbed to death in their Brentwood home, their son Nick was at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party making guests uncomfortable. He stared at people. Interrupted conversations. Asked guests if they were famous. Got into a shouting match with his father loud enough for the room to hear. His parents brought him specifically because they were worried. His mother had been telling friends for weeks they were at their wits' end. We've tried everything, she said.Three weeks after the murders, Nick's high-profile defense attorney Alan Jackson quit the case — but not before declaring to cameras that Nick Reiner is not guilty of murder under California law. He said he's legally and ethically prohibited from explaining why he withdrew.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program for years. He's the author of Sizing People Up and has built his career on reading people and predicting dangerous behavior. Today he breaks down everything we know about Nick Reiner's deterioration in the weeks before the killings — the schizophrenia diagnosis, the medication change that sources say sent him off the rails, and the behavioral red flags that were visible to everyone at that party. We talk about what it means when a family identifies a threat and still can't stop it. What Alan Jackson's statement telegraphs. And whether this tragedy could have been predicted.#NickReiner #RobReiner #HiddenKillers #FBI #TrueCrime #BehavioralAnalysis #AlanJackson #ConanOBrien #MicheleReiner #SchizophreniaJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob and Michele Reiner are dead. Their son Nick is charged with their murders. And millions of families watching this case are seeing their own nightmare reflected back at them.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins True Crime Today to examine what the Reiner family was really facing — and why their tragedy is a warning about a mental health system that keeps failing the people who need it most.The Reiners weren't negligent parents. They were desperate ones. For seventeen years, they tried to help a son who was struggling with addiction and, reportedly, schizophrenia. Eighteen treatment programs. World-class facilities. Unlimited resources. Rob Reiner himself admitted they felt lost, that they trusted professionals who couldn't deliver results, that they feared the tragic ending was coming.It came. And they're not alone.Shavaun explains what families face when someone they love has a severe mental illness. Why love and money aren't enough. Why the treatment industry so often fails. Why schizophrenia gets missed when addiction is the visible problem. She breaks down what happens when medication changes go wrong — sources say Nick became “erratic and dangerous” after a medication switch weeks before the killings.We also examine why families can't protect themselves. Conservatorship was reportedly in the works when Rob and Michele died. The legal system moves slowly. Mental illness doesn't wait. Shavaun explains the barriers families face and why intervention comes too late far too often.This case is getting attention because of who the Reiners were. But this story is playing out in families across America every single day — families with far fewer resources and even fewer options.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimeToday #Schizophrenia #MentalHealth #TrueCrime #FamilyTragedy #MentalHealthCrisisJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Nick Reiner is charged with murdering his parents Rob and Michele Reiner. But this tragedy didn't begin on December 14th. For seventeen years, a family that loved their son desperately tried everything to save him — and a system failed them at every turn.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Hidden Killers for an in-depth examination of the Nick Reiner case. This is not a story about bad parenting. This is a story about a family that did everything they could and a mental health system that offered no real answers.Rob and Michele Reiner paid for eighteen treatment programs. They kept Nick close. They never gave up on him. Rob himself said they listened to professionals with diplomas on the wall when they should have been listening to their son. That's not a failure of love — that's a failure of a system that was supposed to help.Shavaun breaks down what families face when someone they love is suffering from severe mental illness. The impossible choices. The heartbreak. The desperation that drives parents to try anything. She explains what schizophrenia actually does to the brain, why it so often gets missed when addiction is present, and what happens when medication transitions go wrong. Sources say Nick became “erratic and dangerous” after a medication change weeks before the killings. Shavaun helps us understand what the family was really dealing with.We also examine why intervention is so hard. Sources say conservatorship proceedings were underway when Rob and Michele died. Shavaun explains the legal barriers families face, why protecting yourself from someone you love is nearly impossible under current law, and what needs to change so other families don't end up in the same nightmare.This case has resonated with millions of people because it's not unique. Families across this country are dealing with this every single day. If anything good can come from this tragedy, maybe it's that we finally have the conversation we've been avoiding.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillers #Schizophrenia #TrueCrime #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #FamilyTragedyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nick Reiner used heroin. He used meth. He used cocaine. He went to rehab eighteen times starting at age fifteen. Every intervention focused on the drugs.But according to reports, Nick had schizophrenia — a serious psychotic disorder that went undiagnosed for years while he was being treated for addiction.What if the drugs were never the real problem?Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins True Crime Today to examine the relationship between schizophrenia and substance abuse. She explains a concept called self-medication — the idea that people with untreated mental illness sometimes use drugs to manage symptoms they don't understand. The heroin quiets the voices. The meth provides energy when depression makes it impossible to move. The substances aren't the disease. They're the patient's attempt at a cure.Shavaun breaks down how psychotic disorders get missed in teenagers who are using drugs, why the treatment industry often focuses on the visible problem while missing what's underneath, and what happens when you put someone with schizophrenia through traditional addiction treatment.We also examine what happened in the weeks before the killings. Nick's medication was reportedly changed. Sources say he became "erratic and dangerous." Shavaun explains what psychiatric destabilization actually looks like, the risks of medication adjustments, and why this period should have been managed with extreme caution.The Reiners paid for the best treatment money could buy. It may have been treating the wrong disease entirely.#NickReiner #Schizophrenia #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimeToday #MentalHealth #DualDiagnosis #RobReiner #Addiction #SelfMedication #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Nick Reiner started using drugs at fifteen. By sixteen, he was in his first rehab. By twenty-two, he'd been through eighteen treatment programs. The focus was always addiction. Heroin. Meth. Cocaine. The revolving door of substance abuse treatment.But according to reports, Nick had schizophrenia. A serious psychotic disorder that was reportedly diagnosed years before the killings — but after years of being treated for the wrong thing.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to examine what may have been a catastrophic misdiagnosis. She explains what schizophrenia actually is and how it differs from addiction. She describes how serious mental illness can hide behind substance abuse — and how the addiction often is the self-medication, the person's attempt to manage symptoms they don't understand.What happens when you put someone with an undiagnosed psychotic disorder through addiction treatment? What are those programs doing to them — or failing to do for them? And why does the treatment industry keep cycling patients through without catching what's actually wrong?We also examine the medication change that reportedly occurred three to four weeks before the killings. Shavaun explains what happens during psychiatric medication transitions, why they're dangerous, and what destabilization looks like in someone with schizophrenia. Sources say Nick was "out of his head" after the switch. This is the clinical explanation of what that means.#NickReiner #Schizophrenia #MentalHealth #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillers #DualDiagnosis #Addiction #RobReiner #Treatment #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Message us here!A headline never tells the whole story, and the movie "Rosemead" refuses to let us look away. In this episode, star of "Rosemead," Lawrence Shou, unpacks a true-story-inspired film about a Chinese immigrant mother (played by Lucy Liu), a teenage son named Joe (Shou) navigating schizophrenia, and the quiet heartbreak that unfolds when love collides with stigma and a patchwork mental health system. Lawrence brings us inside his process of weeks of research, clinician interviews, and on-set practices that made his performance so hauntingly real.Our conversation traces how psychosis actually presents: not just shouting or destruction, but blankness, withdrawal, and a mind overloaded by grief and fear. Lawrence explains how Joe's symptoms are shaped by trauma and context, including anxiety about mass shootings and the loss of his father. We talk about cultural pressures in immigrant families: why silence can feel safer than asking for help and how that silence magnifies risk. Lawrence shares how reframing treatment as a path to agency, combined with psychoeducation and community support, can make a tangible difference for families who are exhausted and scared. If you've ever wondered what schizophrenia looks like up close, how to avoid snap judgments, or how to show up when someone you love is slipping away, this episode is for you."Rosemead" is out in theaters January 9th. Go see it to join the conversation on how we're failing marginalized families with mental illness.Resources:Connect to Lawrence on IG: @lawrenceshouStay updated on Rosemead through IG: @rosemeadfilmSupport the showIf you're navigating someone's mental health or emotional issues, join KulaMind, our community and support platform.
