Podcasts about seroquel

Lindsay Clancy's murder trial reached its third day of testimony with first responders taking the stand and the jury set to visit the Duxbury home where three children died. But the moment that reshaped the conversation happened earlier in the week — when prosecutors walked nine prescription bottles past the jury and most of them still had pills inside.The defense says Lindsay Clancy was overmedicated by providers who failed her. Patrick Clancy described thirteen different medications, a Seroquel spiral, and a woman who begged for help that never came. But prosecutors want the jury looking at what was still in those bottles.Tony takes on the ten questions this audience cannot stop asking — from the medications to the 911 call to whether the medical system that prescribed those drugs belongs on trial. Everything you wanted to know. No holding back.End Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Intubated. Unable to speak. Her three children dead. Lindsay Clancy was handed an erasable whiteboard in a hospital bed. The first thing she communicated was a question that the prosecution and defense interpret in completely opposite ways.The jury is seated in Plymouth Superior Court. Both sides agree she killed her three children. The dispute is whether she knew what she was doing. The prosecution says the Apple Maps search on her phone, the timing of her husband's errand, and her actions during that window prove calculated premeditation. The defense says thirteen psychiatric medications in four months destroyed her capacity to understand reality.Zoloft. Prozac. Klonopin. Seroquel. Valium. Ambien. Her husband Patrick Clancy told her doctors she had turned into a zombie and nobody changed course. One prescriber did not know what another was giving her. She begged for help repeatedly.Patrick Clancy appears on both witness lists. The prosecution plans to call him first. He filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against her providers. He publicly said he was not married to a monster. He forgave her.Massachusetts is one of the states where the prosecution bears the burden on insanity. They must prove she was sane beyond a reasonable doubt. Andrea Yates was convicted, then acquitted at retrial, under a Texas standard that put the burden on the defense.Andrea Yates drowned five children during a postpartum psychotic episode in Texas. A jury convicted her. A second jury acquitted her on retrial. Massachusetts places the burden on the prosecution, not the defense. The Commonwealth must prove Lindsay Clancy was sane beyond a reasonable doubt. With thirteen medications and a medical record full of ignored warnings, that burden may be the prosecution's biggest obstacle.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines the whiteboard moment, the prosecution's risk in calling Patrick Clancy first, the Yates parallel, and whether this jury can clear the bar Massachusetts has set.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

After her children died, Lindsay Clancy was in a hospital bed with a tube down her throat. She could not speak. She was given an erasable whiteboard. The first thing she wrote on that whiteboard was a question. It is one of the most contested moments in this entire case.Her jury is seated. Eighteen people in Plymouth Superior Court will have to decide whether a mother who was on thirteen psychiatric medications was criminally responsible when she killed her three children. Both sides stipulate that she did it. The fight is over whether she was sane.The prosecution argues premeditation. She used Apple Maps to calculate how long her husband would be gone. She allegedly strangled all three children during that window and then attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window.The defense argues systemic failure. Thirteen medications in four months. Zoloft, Prozac, Klonopin, Seroquel, Valium, Ambien. Her husband Patrick told the doctors she had turned into a zombie. No one coordinated care.Patrick Clancy is expected to testify first for the prosecution. He filed a malpractice suit against her doctors. He told a reporter he was not married to a monster. Under Massachusetts law, the prosecution must prove she was sane beyond a reasonable doubt.Andrea Yates was convicted, then acquitted at retrial, under a Texas standard that required the defense to prove insanity. Massachusetts flips the burden. The prosecution has to prove Lindsay Clancy was sane beyond a reasonable doubt. That is a higher bar to clear, and the medical record is not going to make it easier.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the whiteboard question, the risk in calling Patrick Clancy as the prosecution's first witness, the Andrea Yates parallel, and what this prosecution needs to survive its burden.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everyone around Lindsay Clancy saw her getting worse. Her husband saw it and said so, directly to her doctors. The question this episode asks is simple: did the people treating her know, and if they did, why did they raise her medication instead of pulling back? She would go on to kill Cora, Dawson, and Callan, and both sides now agree on that fact — only her mental state at the time is in dispute.  Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, to examine the treatment record behind Lindsay Clancy's ongoing murder trial in Plymouth, Massachusetts, over the deaths of her children Cora, Dawson, and Callan in Duxbury. Shavaun starts with the diagnosis problem — providers allegedly logged intrusive thoughts at the same time Lindsay was reportedly describing a commanding voice telling her to harm her kids, two clinically distinct phenomena that got blurred together. It wasn't until after the killings that a forensic evaluation confirmed Bipolar I, a diagnosis her providers had weighed but never settled on.  From there, the prescribing history: thirteen medications across four months, five different providers, and — according to the lawsuit — no coordinated review of any of it. Patrick Clancy told providers his wife was ten thousand times worse on Seroquel. They increased the dose. She called a suicide hotline and was screened out. She waited three days at McLean Hospital before seeing a doctor.  Shavaun weighs in on how much of this was preventable, what a properly coordinated psychiatric team would have caught, and where the line falls between individual error and structural failure. It's the record the jury in Plymouth is being asked to sit with. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy called a suicide hotline before she killed her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts, and was told she didn't qualify for help because she didn't have a plan. That single phone call sits at the center of the trial now underway in Plymouth. Both sides agree Cora, Dawson, and Callan died at her hands. The only open question is criminal responsibility.  Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, to walk through everything that led to that call and everything that came after it. Lindsay's providers had documented intrusive thoughts around the same time she was reportedly describing a commanding voice telling her to harm Cora, Dawson, and Callan — a distinction Shavaun says the treatment team never fully reckoned with. A forensic evaluation eventually diagnosed Bipolar I, a diagnosis her providers had floated but never locked in while it mattered.  In the four months before the killings, Lindsay was prescribed thirteen different medications. Her husband, Patrick, warned providers directly that she was unrecognizable on Seroquel and asked them to stop. Instead of pulling back, they raised the dose. She checked into McLean Hospital on New Year's Eve and sat for three days before a doctor examined her. Five providers passed through her care, and the lawsuit alleges none of them ever compared notes.  Shavaun explains how a hotline screening script can miss a woman in active crisis, why revolving prescriptions without coordination make a bad diagnosis worse, and what should have happened differently the moment Patrick raised the alarm. This is the treatment record the jury in Plymouth is now being asked to weigh. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy told his wife's doctors she was becoming someone he didn't recognize. Lindsay Clancy was on Seroquel, he said, and it was making her ten thousand times worse. The providers treating her didn't pull back. They raised the dose. Weeks later, she killed their three children in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home. She is now standing trial in Plymouth, and neither side disputes what happened that day — only whether she was criminally responsible for it.  On this episode, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, to trace the full arc of Lindsay Clancy's care before the trial now playing out in Plymouth. Providers had allegedly documented intrusive thoughts around the same period Lindsay was describing a male voice commanding her to hurt her children — two very different clinical pictures that got treated as interchangeable. A forensic evaluation after the deaths finally produced a diagnosis, Bipolar I, that her treatment team had considered but never confirmed while it could still change the outcome.  In four months, she was put on thirteen medications — benzodiazepines, antidepressants, an antipsychotic, a sedative — with almost no coordination between the five providers involved. She called a suicide hotline and was turned away for lacking a specific plan. She waited three days inside McLean Hospital before a doctor saw her.  Shavaun lays out what a family member's warning is supposed to trigger inside a treatment team, why it so often doesn't, and what a seventeen-minute appointment can and cannot catch in a patient this far into crisis. She also weighs in on where the line falls between a missed diagnosis and a system that was never built to catch one. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The defense in the Lindsay Clancy case says she did everything right. She reported symptoms. She went to appointments. She took the medication. She asked for help. And the system responded with thirteen prescriptions in four months from five providers who allegedly never talked to each other.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to walk through the clinical timeline. Patrick Clancy told his wife's providers she was ten thousand times worse on Seroquel. Their response was to raise the dose. Lindsay called a suicide hotline and was told she did not qualify because she had no specific plan. She checked into McLean Hospital on New Year's Eve and waited three days before a clinician saw her.The malpractice lawsuit describes a system where each provider held a piece of the puzzle and nobody assembled it. A nurse practitioner allegedly never returned a follow-up call. A seventeen-minute virtual appointment the day before the killings ended with a dosage increase. Nobody pulled a complete medication history. Nobody identified the bipolar disorder that a forensic evaluation would later confirm.Shavaun explains what revolving-door prescribing does to someone in psychiatric crisis, why the system is structured to produce exactly this kind of failure, and the question the audience keeps asking — if she did everything they told her to do, who is actually responsible for what happened?Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott discuss the Lindsay Clancy murder trial.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This is our Week in Review of the Kouri Richins murder trial—and one fact may matter more than everything else the jury has heard.Four years after Eric Richins died with fentanyl in his system, the state's own former Chief Medical Examiner still lists his manner of death as "undetermined." Not homicide. The prosecution is asking a jury to convict Kouri Richins of murder when their own medical expert won't call it one.The problems don't stop there. Carmen Lauber, the housekeeper who testified she bought fentanyl for Kouri four times, was using methamphetamine during the relevant period. She received immunity from three jurisdictions before taking the stand. Her supplier Robert Crozier originally told detectives he sold fentanyl—then testified under oath that he only sold oxycodone because "everybody was scared of fentanyl." When your two key witnesses can't agree on what the drugs were, the case has a credibility crisis.Former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke assesses what's actually happening in that courtroom. After 21 years with the Bureau, including running the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Dreeke separates truth from performance. He reads Lauber's testimony, Crozier's contradiction, and Kouri's composure through five days of prosecution evidence.Defense attorney Bob Motta identifies what the prosecution still hasn't proven: what drugs Carmen actually obtained, how fentanyl got into Eric, and whether Kouri administered it. He analyzes the nine-minute phone call to the medical examiner's office—consciousness of guilt or a widow seeking answers? And he flags the Seroquel in Eric's system that neither side is emphasizing.The state has established fentanyl in Eric's system, Kouri's financial problems, and her boyfriend. But establishing motive isn't the same as proving murder.Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This is our Week in Review of the Kouri Richins murder trial—and we're breaking down testimony that's raising more questions than answers.Five days in, the prosecution's drug-chain theory is showing cracks. Carmen Lauber—the housekeeper who claims she bought fentanyl for Kouri four times—was using methamphetamine during the relevant period and received immunity from three jurisdictions before testifying. Her supplier Robert Crozier originally told detectives he sold fentanyl. On the stand, he said it was oxycodone and that he was "detoxing and out of it" when he gave his original statement.Two key witnesses. Two different drugs. That's a problem the prosecution has to solve.Former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke joins us to assess what's happening in that courtroom. With 21 years at the Bureau including time running the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Dreeke built his career reading people under pressure. He examines Lauber's credibility wounds, Crozier's contradictions, and Kouri's sustained composure through five days of testimony. When behavioral evidence—the searches, the insurance positioning, the coded language—clashes with missing physical evidence, which matters more to a jury?Defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down the most significant fact yet: four years after Eric died with fentanyl in his system, the state's own former Chief Medical Examiner still lists manner of death as "undetermined." Not homicide.The prosecution played a recording of Kouri calling the medical examiner's office asking detailed questions about what killed Eric. Bob analyzes whether that's consciousness of guilt or exactly what a grieving widow would do. He also identifies the Seroquel found in Eric's system that neither side is focusing on—and what has to happen for the prosecution to make this case viable.Over twenty witnesses. Still no proof of how fentanyl got into Eric or that Kouri administered it.Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution's fentanyl supply chain just hit a major credibility problem in the Kouri Richins trial. Robert Crozier testified he only sold oxycodone to Carmen Lauber—not fentanyl—because "everybody was scared of fentanyl" at the time. That directly contradicts what Lauber told the jury. When your two drug-chain witnesses can't agree on what the drugs actually were, the entire theory starts to crumble.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke sit down with defense attorney Bob Motta to analyze the prosecution's mounting problems. Dr. Erik Christensen—the state's own former Chief Medical Examiner—admitted on the stand that Eric Richins' death certificate still lists manner of death as "undetermined." Not homicide. After four years of investigation, the man who performed the analysis can't definitively say this was murder.The jury heard a nine-minute recording of Kouri calling the medical examiner's office asking about fentanyl levels, how it might have been ingested, and the Seroquel found in Eric's system. The prosecution wants jurors to see consciousness of guilt. Bob Motta explains why the defense sees something entirely different—a grieving widow seeking answers about her husband's death.Motta analyzes the significance of the Midway property timeline, where Carmen Lauber claims she buried fentanyl in a fire pit during a window when the house sat vacant. He examines what the presence of "a lot" of Seroquel in Eric's blood might mean for the case. And he identifies exactly what the prosecution must accomplish in the remaining weeks to make their theory viable.No fentanyl has ever been found in the Richins home. The drug witnesses are contradicting each other. The medical examiner won't call it homicide.

Dr. Erik Christensen took the stand expecting to bolster the prosecution's case against Kouri Richins. What happened instead has given the defense ammunition they'll use through closing arguments. The state's own former Chief Medical Examiner admitted Eric Richins' death certificate still lists manner of death as "undetermined"—not homicide.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke are joined by defense attorney Bob Motta for an in-depth analysis of the prosecution's case and whether it's holding together. The jury heard a nine-minute recording of Kouri calling Christensen's office weeks after Eric's death, asking about fentanyl levels and how the drug might have been ingested. The prosecution frames this as consciousness of guilt. The defense calls it a grieving widow seeking answers.The drug supply chain the prosecution built is showing cracks. Robert Crozier—who allegedly sold drugs to Carmen Lauber—testified under oath that he only provided oxycodone, not fentanyl, because "everybody was scared of fentanyl." That directly contradicts Lauber's story. Bob Motta explains why witness contradictions at this level can be fatal to a prosecution's theory.Christensen also testified that "a lot" of Seroquel was found in Eric's blood but dismissed it as insignificant. Neither side has focused on this detail. Could the anti-psychotic medication become a sleeper issue as the trial continues?The prosecution has established Eric died of fentanyl, Kouri had financial problems, and she was involved with another man. What they haven't established: what drugs Carmen actually obtained, the chain of custody to Eric, or proof that Kouri administered anything. No fentanyl has ever been found in the Richins home.Bob Motta identifies exactly what the prosecution must prove in the remaining weeks—and whether they're running out of runway.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Healthcare didn't get expensive because patients got worse — it got expensive because the system got fragmented. In this episode of The Disruptive Podcast, Scott Middleton breaks down why hospice can't live “over there,” separate from primary care, nursing, therapy, and care management.Scott explains the Your Health Hospice rollout, the staffing reality that determines whether integration is real, and the math behind a new model: caseload reductions for nurses when hospice patients are added, plus incentives that acknowledge the complexity of end-of-life care.This conversation is about building a care system where the patient doesn't have to juggle providers, phone numbers, and handoffs — because they shouldn't have to. One team. One plan. One umbrella. www.YourHealth.Org

There is DEFINITELY a mental health crisis in the U.S. right now. But it's not about a lack of access to treatment or meds. Nearly one in four adults is on psychiatric meds, and nearly one in ten children is, as well. The crisis has to do with med-induced harm, according to Laura Delano, the author of "Unshrunk". And Laura speaks from her own first-hand experience with the American mental health industry. Since her early teen years, she has been on countless meds, including Seroquel, Prozac, Effexor, Provigil, Ambien, and Klonopin, all without any improvement in her worsening symptoms.   Today, she describes her own mental health journey, offers insights about what sparked her questioning of the system, and why she's concluded that we would do well to question the nature of the crisis and to get curious about how to promote wellbeing with alternatives to psychiatric drugs.   Visit Laura's website at lauradelano.com Sign up for the Weston A.

Laura Delano is the author of Unshrunk: A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance. Laura was fourteen years old when she saw her first psychiatrist, which was not something openly discussed at the time in her wealthy hometown of Greenwich, CT. Over the next 14 years, Laura was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depression, social anxiety disorder, eating disorder, poly-substance dependence, and borderline personality disorder. These conditions earned her prescriptions for Seroquel, Abilify, Klonopin, Ativan, Ambien, Prozac, Effexor, Celexa, Cymbalta, Wellbutrin, Lexapro, lithium, and many more. During this time, she engaged in self-harm, spent time in psychiatric hospitals, and attempted to take her own life. In 2010, Laura decided she had had enough with all the diagnoses and the drugs. Her book tells the story of how she weaned herself from this medical regimen and found a stable life free of prescriptions. You've gotta listen to this conversation. Laura and I talk about mental health, the pharmaceutical industry, how her behavior affected those around her, how her family dealt with their difficult sister and daughter, and how that love finally helped to see her through.Btw, the ‘80s punk band whose name I couldn't remember around the 10-minute mark is Suicidal Tendencies. Thanks to my pal, “Nashville Ben” for recommending Laura's book for me.

Parenting a child in emotional pain is exhausting — you're not imagining it. You're not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Erin Kerry, where we dig into a woman's experience of misdiagnosis, heavy psychiatric medication, and the healing path she found beyond labels.Why this matters: Too often medication is the first line of defense for children and adolescents. Erin's story shows how medical history, toxins, infections, and trauma can masquerade as psychiatric disorders — and why a comprehensive treatment plan matters for your child's life and daily functioning.What you'll learn: signs that behavior may be nervous-system driven, real risks of early psychotropic medication (including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), when to seek second opinions, and alternatives that helped Erin recover.Why does my child have sudden mood swings — could it be bipolar or something else?Look beyond labels. Sudden shifts can come from infections, toxin exposure, PTSD, or PANS/PANDAS as well as bipolar disorder. It's scary when your child seems ‘possessed' or out of control.Takeaway: Ask about medical triggers (ear infections, mold, immune issues) before assuming a lifelong psychiatric diagnosis.Parent Tip: Request a full medical review from your child's doctor and consider immune or toxin screening.You don't have to figure this out alone.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP and get your FREE Regulation Rescue Kit: How to Stay Calm When Your Child Pushes Your Buttons and Stop Oppositional Behaviors.Head to www.drroseann.com/newsletter and start your calm parenting journey today.How risky is starting antidepressants or other psychiatric medication for kids?When it comes to childhood mental health medication, it's important for parents to know the meds. While SSRIs and other prescriptions can be helpful, in adolescents they may sometimes increase the risk of depression or self-harm.Erin shared how her own child worsened after starting Zoloft, later being prescribed heavy drugs like Depakote, lithium, and Seroquel. The experience was devastating for her family and highlights why medication isn't always the right first step.Parents should always weigh the risks, monitor mood closely, and insist on a clear treatment plan with ongoing follow-up.Parent tips for navigating childhood mental health medication:Get informed about side effects, drug interactions, and dosage.Ask for the lowest effective dose.Request frequent reassessments and clear communication from providers.How can I help my child without making medication the first move?When considering childhood mental health medication, it's essential to start with nervous-system care. Let's calm the brain first by looking at foundational areas like sleep, gut and immune health, trauma processing, and classroom accommodations before jumping straight to pills. Addressing these whole-child needs often creates meaningful progress without immediately turning to medication.Key takeaway: Behavior is communication. By addressing the medical, nutritional, emotional, and environmental factors, you support true healing instead of just managing symptoms.Parent tip: Try a multi-disciplinary team for the best results. This may include:A pediatrician for medical oversightChild psychiatrists for second opinionsTherapists for emotional support and trauma processingSchool staff to provide classroom accommodationsWhen should I...

If you've ever felt trapped by anxiety and depression, frustrated with the medical system, or wondered if there's hope beyond traditional treatment, this raw conversation with Rev Sven offers hard-won insights from someone who's navigated childhood trauma, medication dependency, and found his own path to healing. More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/rev-svenRev Sven's mental health journey began with childhood trauma that would shape decades of his life. Raised by his grandparents after his parents separated, he struggled with abandonment issues when his mother chose drugs over caring for him. The anger and pain manifested early, and by fifth grade, he was throwing desks into walls.Instead of therapy, his grandmother took him straight to a doctor who prescribed medication. This began a pharmaceutical carousel that lasted into his twenties. Depression became bipolar disorder, then anxiety, then intermittent explosive disorder. Sven cycled through over a dozen medications, often feeling like a zombie rather than himself.The wake-up call came while working as a delivery driver. Despite taking Seroquel the previous evening, he fell asleep at the wheel the next morning, only waking when he hit the rumble strips. That terrifying moment forced a decision: something had to change.Four years ago, Sven made the risky choice to wean himself off medication without medical supervision, something he explicitly doesn't recommend to others. He replaced pharmaceuticals with therapy, alternative approaches including medicinal marijuana and DMT, and most importantly, a supportive community.Streaming became his lifeline. What started as an accidental hobby with a friend evolved into a platform for mental health advocacy. Through his Twitch channel and work with the nonprofit Anime for Humanity, Sven found his tribe... people who understood that gamers, anime fans and other "niche" communities needed mental health resources too.His current coping toolkit is surprisingly simple but effective. When depressive episodes hit, he relies on his wife who lets him cry on her shoulder, friends in the streaming community who provide reality checks and encouragement, and the knowledge that he'll emerge from the darkness. A schnauzer mix puppy has become an unexpected emotional support companion.Sven still battles the same demons. He describes episodes where he feels worthless, convinced everything he does is meaningless and that people won't miss him when he's gone. During these periods, he sleeps excessively and isolates himself. But now he has tools and people to pull him back.His story highlights several critical issues: the overprescription of psychiatric medications to children, the importance of therapy alongside or instead of medication, and the power of community support. Living in rural Oklahoma (a region not known for progressive mental health attitudes) Sven works to break stigma one conversation at a time.The streaming community surprised him with its openness about mental health struggles. Unlike his closed-minded hometown where men aren't supposed to show emotion, online spaces offered acceptance and mutual support. Even his brother, struggling with addiction, now reaches out for help after seeing Sven's transformation.Sven's message is clear: mental illness doesn't make you broken or crazy, you're just wired differently. His journey proves that with the right support system, alternative approaches can work, though he emphasizes working with medical professionals rather than going it alone like he did.From throwing desks to building community, Rev Sven turned his pain into purpose.

Episode 170: Schizophrenia: An OverviewFuture Dr. Chng explains the diagnostic criteria and describes how to treat schizophrenia. Dr. Arreaza mentions additional risk factors and social aspects of schizophrenia.  Written by Tiffanny Chng, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Schizophrenia may be an intriguing disease for many, even for health care providers. Schizophrenia is frequently misunderstood and stigmatized. Receiving a diagnosis of schizophrenia can be life-altering and cause significant distress in patients and their families, but it can also impact their work, relationships, and even their communities.Epidemiology of schizophrenia: Schizophrenia has a prevalence of about 1% worldwide, and a prevalence of about 0.6% in the US. Although the distribution between males and females is comparable, males will typically present with their first episode, sometimes known as a “psychotic break” in the early 20's as opposed to women who may present in their late 20s or early 30s. Despite having a low prevalence, the NIH lists schizophrenia as one of the top 15 leading causes of disability and disease burden in the world. In 2019 the economic burden of schizophrenia in the US was $343 billion. For comparison, in 2019, diabetes had an economic burden of $760 billion in the US, however, the prevalence of diabetes that year was 11.6%, more than 10 times that of schizophrenia. Patients who are diagnosed with schizophrenia are also at increased risk of a multitude of co-occurring medical conditions: alcohol and substance abuse disorders, mood disorders, and metabolic disturbances (diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and obesity, which may be exacerbated with the use of antipsychotics). These patients have a two-to-four-fold increased risk of premature mortality with an estimated potential life loss of ~28.5 years. Of note, 4-10% of patients with schizophrenia die secondary to suicide.Pathogenesis:The exact pathogenesis of schizophrenia is unknown, but we do know that it is a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors. Genetics: Twin studies conducted in mono and dizygotic twins have shown that schizophrenia is highly inheritable (~80%). Although there are no specific genes that directly cause the disease state, genome-wide association studies have shown polygenic additive effects of 108 single nucleotide polymorphisms. This includes genes involved in the dopaminergic and glutamate pathways, which are the basis of antipsychotic medications. Epigenetics: Studies have also shown that epigenetics is a potential factor that plays into the risk of developing schizophrenia. Having a history of obstetric complications, for example, has an almost two-fold increased risk of schizophrenia in the child during early adulthood. Such complications include maternal infections, preterm labor, and fetal hypoxia. Certain infections and pro-inflammatory disease states, such as Celiac and Graves' disease have also been associated with schizophrenia. The suggested pathophysiology is thought to involve pro-inflammatory cytokines crossing the blood-brain barrier inducing or exacerbating psychosis or cognitive impairment. Trauma: As in many other psychiatric conditions, childhood trauma or severe childhood adversities, especially emotional neglect, have also been shown to increase the risk of schizophrenia later in life.Cannabis and Immigration: So, you mentioned the role of genetics, epigenetics, and inflammation. I'd like to mention the use of cannabis as a risk factor for developing psychosis as well, more specifically the THC component of cannabis. Something to keep in mind during these times when cannabis is being studied in more detail. Also, this is interesting: immigration puts you at risk for schizophrenia, and the risk can be as high as four-fold, depending on the study. Some explanations for this are increased discrimination, stress, and even low vitamin D. Tiffany, how do we diagnose schizophrenia?DSM-5 Diagnostic Criteria: The DSM-5 identifies 5 diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia: Patient must have two or more active phase symptoms for one month or longer: (1) Delusions, (2) Hallucinations (auditory, visual, or tactile) (3) Disorganized speech, (4) Negative symptoms (flat affect, avolition, social withdrawal, anhedonia), or (5) Catatonic behavior (which can be a collection of abnormal physical movements, the lack of movement or resistance to movement, psychomotor agitation). For the first criterion to be met, the patient must have delusions, hallucinations, or disorganized speech as one of their two presenting symptoms. Arreaza: The 1-month duration can be less if the patient is successfully treated.The symptoms experienced by the patient must impair their level of functioning in one or more major areas (professional career, relationships, and self-care). In addition, the disruption must be present most of the time since the onset of symptoms. There must be continuous signs of disturbance for at least 6 months. Within these 6 months, there must be at least 1 month where the patient experiences symptoms mentioned in the first criteria (delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, negative symptoms, or catatonic behavior). The disturbance may only be negative symptoms or attenuated positive symptoms (unusual perceptual experiences, odd beliefs, etc.)Mood disorders must be ruled out. This includes bipolar disorder with psychotic features, depressive disorder with psychotic features, and schizoaffective disorder. The behavioral disturbances must not be attributable to any substance use or medical conditions. After the diagnosis of schizophrenia has been made for 1 year or more, specifiers can be added to further categorize the disease state, according to the DSM-V: Acute episode: a period in which all symptomatic criteria are met.Partial remission: a period in which symptomatic criteria are only partially met and symptoms are improved from a previous episode.Full remission: a period in which no symptomatic criteria are met (for a minimum of 6 months).Continuous: symptoms prevalent for the majority of the illness course.Goals of Treatment: Reduce acute symptoms to allow patients to return to their baseline level of functioning. Prevent recurrence and maximize a patient's quality of life using maintenance therapy.There are 2 components of treatment: Pharmacotherapy and Psychosocial Intervention.Pharmacotherapy.Pharmacotherapy is initiated with second-generation antipsychotics as first-line agents due to their decreased risk of extrapyramidal side effects, compared to our first-generation antipsychotics. Commonly used medications include aripiprazole (Abilify), lurasidone (Latuda), risperidone (Risperdal), and quetiapine (Seroquel). These antipsychotics also have a more favorable side effect profile, showing a lower incidence of seizures, orthostatic hypotension, QT prolongation, weight gain, impaired glucose metabolism, and hyperlipidemia. Of note, younger patients being treated for their first psychotic episode are more likely to experience metabolic side effects while on antipsychotics. Hence, it is important to start at lower doses in these patients and slowly titrate to a therapeutic dose. Antipsychotics are implicated in the development of obesity, and obesity is one of my favorite topics. As a PCP, you need to have close communication with the psychiatrist before you change any doses of any antipsychotics, in my case, I just avoid making changes.Older patients, who are likely on other medications should be started at doses that are ¼ to ½ the adult dose initially to monitor for any potential drug interactions. After therapy initiation, routine monitoring for symptomatic response is done weekly for the first 3 months. Signs of any extrapyramidal symptoms should also be evaluated at each visit. Special care must be taken to patients with risk factors, for example, a metabolic profile should be ordered every 6 to 12 weeks depending on a patient's comorbidities, and an EKG should be done before and 3 months after therapy initiation to monitor for QT prolongation.QT prolongation is higher with ziprasidone, quetiapine, chlorpromazine, and intravenous (IV) haloperidol. Normal QTc intervals: Before puberty: NORMAL

Kouri Richins: Prescription Peril or Psychopathic Play? Kouri Richins, the children's book author facing murder charges after her husband's fentanyl overdose, finds herself entangled in a web of pharmaceutical confusion. The discovery of her antipsychotic medication, Seroquel, in his system alongside the deadly fentanyl raises a chilling question: could this be a calculated act or a tragic twist in a troubled marriage?    Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist and author, sheds light on the complexities of the situation. Her analysis paints a grim picture for Kouri's defense. Seroquel, while not considered recreational, lacks the telltale signs of an overdose – making the argument of Eric, the deceased husband, taking it voluntarily rather weak. The massive fentanyl dose further bolsters the prosecution's case, casting Seroquel as an insignificant player in the fatal drama.    But the intrigue runs deeper. Could Kouri's own prescription medication be a pawn in a desperate defense game? Scott suggests exploring the possibility of a psychotic break, medication mismanagement, or even a deliberate concoction to paint a picture of mental instability. Yet, the medical records loom large, threatening to expose any discrepancies and weaken this fragile defense.    The talk show appearances, where Kouri appeared composed and articulate, further challenge the "psychotic break" narrative. Her calm demeanor throws a wrench in the defense strategy, leaving them grasping for straws in a sea of suspicion.    So, where does this leave Kouri Richins? Is she a cunning killer disguised by prescriptions, or a grieving widow caught in a tragic pharmaceutical storm? While the court will ultimately decide her fate, the lingering questions remain: was Seroquel a mere bystander, a desperate ploy, or a calculated clue in a chilling game of deceit?    Only time will tell if Kouri Richins, the author of children's stories, will find herself writing a new chapter in her own life – one of redemption or of a chilling truth too dark to escape.

Shocking revelations have emerged in the case of Eric Richins, a Utah man allegedly poisoned to death by his wife, Kouri Richins, in March 2022. Unsealed search warrants have shed new light on the circumstances surrounding Eric's tragic demise, uncovering disturbing details about the events leading up to his death.    Kouri Richins, 33, faces grave charges of aggravated murder and drug possession after she was accused of killing her husband, Eric, with illicit fentanyl in their Kamas, Utah, residence. Eric, who had been married to Kouri for nine years and shared three children with her, tragically lost his life on March 3, 2022.    The recently unsealed search warrants reveal unsettling findings that raise questions about the circumstances of Eric's death. According to a Summit County detective's report, it was discovered that Eric had a small amount of Quetiapine (brand name SEROQUEL) in his stomach contents at the time of his death. The alarming aspect was that Eric did not possess a prescription for Quetiapine, but his wife did, and the pills were readily available in their home.  Quetiapine is classified as an antipsychotic medication used to treat various mental health conditions, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It acts by balancing the levels of dopamine and serotonin in the brain. However, the medication is known to carry a range of potentially dangerous side effects, such as hyperglycemia, fever, stroke, pain, seizures, and more.    Prosecutors in the case have suggested that Eric's murder may have been financially motivated, revealing a troubling backdrop to the tragic events. According to court documents, the couple had been embroiled in financial disagreements, particularly related to Kouri's desire to acquire a $2 million mansion that was under construction at the time. Her plan was to purchase the property, renovate it, and then sell it for a profit.    However, Eric believed the mansion's price was exorbitant, a sentiment that his family conveyed to investigators. Additionally, Kouri had taken out four different life insurance policies on Eric's life between 2015 and 2017, totaling more than $1.9 million. Notably, on January 1, 2022, just months before Eric's tragic death, Kouri clandestinely altered the beneficiary of a $2 million life insurance policy, making herself the recipient without Eric's authorization.    Before his death, Eric had removed Kouri from his will and designated his sister as the new beneficiary, a move that suggested he had concerns about his safety. His family informed authorities that he had feared for his life, citing previous incidents where Kouri allegedly attempted to poison him, once several years ago in Greece and again on Valentine's Day 2022.    Following Eric's untimely death, Kouri authored a children's book titled "Are You With Me?" This book, listed on Amazon for $14.99, is described as "a must-read for any child who has experienced the pain of loss, and for parents who want to provide their children with the emotional support they need to heal and grow."    The unsealed search warrants have added a new layer of complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings in this high-profile case.

Shocking revelations have emerged in the case of Eric Richins, a Utah man allegedly poisoned to death by his wife, Kouri Richins, in March 2022. Unsealed search warrants have shed new light on the circumstances surrounding Eric's tragic demise, uncovering disturbing details about the events leading up to his death.    Kouri Richins, 33, faces grave charges of aggravated murder and drug possession after she was accused of killing her husband, Eric, with illicit fentanyl in their Kamas, Utah, residence. Eric, who had been married to Kouri for nine years and shared three children with her, tragically lost his life on March 3, 2022.    The recently unsealed search warrants reveal unsettling findings that raise questions about the circumstances of Eric's death. According to a Summit County detective's report, it was discovered that Eric had a small amount of Quetiapine (brand name SEROQUEL) in his stomach contents at the time of his death. The alarming aspect was that Eric did not possess a prescription for Quetiapine, but his wife did, and the pills were readily available in their home.  Quetiapine is classified as an antipsychotic medication used to treat various mental health conditions, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It acts by balancing the levels of dopamine and serotonin in the brain. However, the medication is known to carry a range of potentially dangerous side effects, such as hyperglycemia, fever, stroke, pain, seizures, and more.    Prosecutors in the case have suggested that Eric's murder may have been financially motivated, revealing a troubling backdrop to the tragic events. According to court documents, the couple had been embroiled in financial disagreements, particularly related to Kouri's desire to acquire a $2 million mansion that was under construction at the time. Her plan was to purchase the property, renovate it, and then sell it for a profit.    However, Eric believed the mansion's price was exorbitant, a sentiment that his family conveyed to investigators. Additionally, Kouri had taken out four different life insurance policies on Eric's life between 2015 and 2017, totaling more than $1.9 million. Notably, on January 1, 2022, just months before Eric's tragic death, Kouri clandestinely altered the beneficiary of a $2 million life insurance policy, making herself the recipient without Eric's authorization.    Before his death, Eric had removed Kouri from his will and designated his sister as the new beneficiary, a move that suggested he had concerns about his safety. His family informed authorities that he had feared for his life, citing previous incidents where Kouri allegedly attempted to poison him, once several years ago in Greece and again on Valentine's Day 2022.    Following Eric's untimely death, Kouri authored a children's book titled "Are You With Me?" This book, listed on Amazon for $14.99, is described as "a must-read for any child who has experienced the pain of loss, and for parents who want to provide their children with the emotional support they need to heal and grow."    The unsealed search warrants have added a new layer of complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings in this high-profile case.

For almost 11 years, Laurie was taking Seroquel/Quetiapine. It got her though a lot - and was the first mental health medication she found really "worked" for her.  After a lot of thought, side effects, and conversations with her doctor - Laurie decided to try and taper of of the medication slowly. Our Patreon supporters will remember this time well as Laurie shared a series of bonus episodes throughout the taper and subsequent withdrawal. Without going into as much detail as the patreon diary style episodes, Laurie wanted to chat with someone who knew the science of medications better than she did. In this episode, Carly (from our The Borderline Doctor) episode shares some insights with Laurie about how Seroquel works, why she was likely experiencing some withdrawal symptoms, and how we can better our sleep with or without sleep-aids. Carly (@daturadxm) is a life coach and works in the alternative healthcare space. Into her work, she brings the medical education she received in school before she was dismissed from her program after taking a mental health leave. She is now fighting back against the stigma against borderline personality disorder in education which forced her out of medical school.While we say it many times during the episode - CARLY IS NOT A DOCTOR and THIS EPISODE IS NOT MEDICAL ADVISE.  This is simply a conversation between two people who have taken this medication, one who has a much better understanding of how it works from a scientific perspective than the other.

With summer just around the corner, there's no doubt you want to look and feel your best. But some people have trouble losing weight because they constantly feel hungry. Today we'll talk about why you often feel hungry and some ways you can feel more satisfied.  Why am I hungry all the time? Unfortunately, the answer isn't simple, and many factors must be considered. The first step is to talk with your primary care physician to rule out certain health conditions. For example, conditions like hyperthyroidism, diabetes, hypoglycemia, anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, and eating disorder that lead to restriction, binging, or purging can make you feel more hungry.  And interestingly enough, during times when our sex hormones are changing (e.g., menopause, first days of your period, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and pregnancy), your appetite can increase.  Medications that can make you hungry include steroids like prednisone, seizure medications like gabapentin, certain atypical antipsychotic medications like Seroquel and Zyprexa, and antihistamines like Benadryl and hydroxyzine.  Several weeks ago, we discussed the importance of healthy sleep and peptide therapy and how not getting enough sleep can significantly impact your body and mind. This can include unintentional weight gain and an increased appetite. In addition, research has found that you're more likely to choose less nutritious food when you do not get enough sleep. In the past, we also discussed how chronic stress can affect our body and mind. For example, if you're dealing with chronic stress, your cortisol levels ("stress hormone") may increase, leading to fatigue, depression, and weight gain.  Simply put, stress makes you more likely to engage in emotional eating and crave comforting foods, which in turn, causes you to eat more calories. You may also experience upset stomach, constipation, diarrhea, headaches, difficulty sleeping, and low sex drive. What can I do if I'm still hungry after eating? Try to avoid refined sugars, which are usually found in processed foods. These include foods like packaged snacks, candy, soda, and cereals. These foods aren't filling and lead to weight gain.  A healthier alternative would be complex carbohydrates like quinoa, lentils, beans, and sweet potato, as they slowly release sugar (glucose) into the blood and provide the body with a steady energy supply. Try to eat slower. Studies have shown that when you eat slower, you suppress ghrelin, a hormone that makes you feel hungry. Remember that if you increase your physical activity levels, you'll require more calories. Don't restrict your calories too much, which will then cause your body to want more food.  What about semaglutide? Let's say you've talked to your healthcare provider to rule out certain health conditions or medications that could be causing you to feel hungry all the time. And you've set realistic weight goals, changed your diet, and kept a daily food log. You've also increased your physical activity. But you're still hungry and can't seem to lose any additional weight.  When these lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) aren't enough to lose the weight you desire, weight-loss medications like semaglutide may be helpful.  Thanks again for listening to The Peptide Podcast, we love having you as part of our community. You can find out more information about semaglutide on our previous podcasts. If you love this podcast, please share it with your friends and family on social media, and have a happy, healthy week!

In the episode, "Tapering Off Antipsychotics: Avoiding Withdrawal, Practicing Self-Care(S5, E4)," I share my journey I started 2 years ago when I decided to officially remove psychiatry from my life and get off their forced meds for good. Most psychiatrists have no interest in helping a bipolar get off their meds, so I went out on my own, assembled a support group around me, did the research, and invested in my healing. Now after putting my goal front and center for the last 2 years, I have committed to a long and slow taper from Seroquel and Lamictal, and luckily, I've suffered no withdrawal symptoms yet. So check in to see if any of my advice can help anyone taking on the process. Those mentioned in this podcast:Dr. Mark Horowitzhttps://markhorowitz.orgDr. Lynn Parodneck, MDMedical Marijuana Practictionerhttps://www.drlynnparodneck.comRobin Queen, psychosocial spiritual counselorhttps://slowmedicine.org/about-robinWarren Falcon, dream therapisthttps://falconwarren.blogspot.comChaya Grossberg, holistic healerhttps://chayagrossberg.comLyle Murphywww.alternativetomeds.com#psychmedswithdrawal #bipolardisorder #antipsychotics #bigpharma #forceddrugging #chayagrossberg #mania #depression #psychiatryisnotscience #markhorowitz #medicalmarijuanaPlease visit my website at: http://www.notascrazyasyouthink.com/​Don't forget to subscribe to the Not As Crazy As You Think YouTube channel @SicilianoJenConnect:Instagram: @ jengaita LinkedIn: @ jensicilianoTwitter: @ jsiciliano

My client Maura came to me when she was struggling to fall asleep and would go days without sleeping if she wasn't taking a sleeping pill. She was taking Seroquel and Lexapro to sleep and feel calm. She had to take a leave from teaching because she wasn't sleeping. Her goal was to sleep 7 hours a night, get off meds, and not feel anxious about sleep. By the end of our time working together, she achieved all of these goals! She says in the episode, "In 2 months I weaned off Trazadone. On average I'm sleeping 7-8 hours a night and feeling a lot better.” Maura was 100% committed to the process and because of that, she had great success! In this episode, you can hear her story firsthand. If she can get better, you can, too! Schedule a consultation today to get started: ​​https://p.bttr.to/3VJwvDs

Jarrod broke his collar bone while riding dirt bikes, which led to using prescribed opioids for pain management. The opioids then led to addiction and a “dirty doctor” Hsiu-Ying “Lisa” Tseng, MD, who kept the prescriptions flowing without Jarrod's parent's knowledge. Desperate for help, Jodi sent Jarrod to the “best doctor in Orange County” who prescribed Seroquel and promised her son's addictions would be gone in a week. The “best doctor in Orange County” had been placed on five-year medical probation and was addicted to Seroquel himself. Jarrod relapsed during Thanksgiving and Christmas. On January 7th, 2010, Jarrod slipped into a drug-induced coma. He was pronounced dead at the same hospital where he had been born.

This episode deals with the question of weight gain from antipsychotic medication: I'm on 20 milligrams of olanzapine. It's helping me and I don't want to change it. The only thing is that I've gained a lot of weight that makes me feel very unattractive. I've spoken to my psychiatrist about it, but I haven't gotten any guidance on the matter. Are there any solutions to weight gain from this kind of medicine? Modern antipsychotic medications can be very helpful for some people. And they are less likely to cause neurological side effects, compared to their first-generation predecessors. However, many of these newer medicines can cause someone to gain significant amounts of weight. This is a serious problem that the psychiatric profession (in my view) has been very slow to address. In this episode, Dr. Erik Messamore describes several strategies that can reduce the risk of medication-related weight gain or that can reverse weight gain once it has started.   Strategy 1. Choose antipsychotic medications with low weight gain risk Different antipsychotic medications come with different degrees of weight gain risk. Table 1 in this open-access medical journal article lists medications with higher or lower risk of weight gain. The graph in this article also illustrates the differences in weight gain risk among the various antipsychotic medications.   Strategy 2. Switch to an antipsychotic medication with lower weight gain risk People who have gained weight from higher-risk medications – like quetiapine (Seroquel) or olanzapine (Zyprexa), for example – may lose weight after switching to a lower-risk medication. On the other hand, some people (like the person who sent in today's question) might mostly like their current medication, or may not want to take the risks involved in medication switching (e.g., the switched-to medication might not work as well, or might have other side effects). In situations like these, there are several weight loss options worth considering.   Strategy 3. Diet and exercise to reduce weight from antipsychotic medication Many studies show that antipsychotic-induced weight gain does respond to standard diet or exercise interventions. A relatively small reduction of 150 calories per day can lead to about 16 pounds of weight loss over a year. For many people, that can be achieved by sticking to natural, whole foods and avoiding processed foods with a lot of carbohydrates or added sugars. Exercise and physical activity can enhance weight loss. And numerous studies show that exercise can improve mood, reduce anxiety, increase cognitive performance, and reduce symptoms of psychosis. Very low carbohydrate diets like the ketogenic diet are popular these days. These diets are designed to reduce insulin levels, which can make it easier to lose weight (because insulin is a fat-storage signal). Many people who undertake these diets can maintain calorie deficits without feeling hungry. Several case reports and a small clinical study suggest that the low-carb/ketogenic diet might help some people with schizophrenia, psychosis, or bipolar disorder to experience fewer symptoms.   Strategy 4. Metformin to reduce weight from antipsychotic medication Metformin is a widely-used treatment for type-2 diabetes. It improves the body's insulin signals and reduces spikes in blood sugar. Metformin can also help people without diabetes to lose weight. And there are many studies showing the metformin can reduce weight in people who have gained weight from antipsychotic medications.   Strategy 5. GLP-1 Agonists to reduce weight from antipsychotic medication GLP-1 is an abbreviation for glucagon-like peptide 1. The GLP-1 agonist drugs mimic the action of natural GLP-1. They optimize the body's insulin responses and reduce appetite. Some of these medications – liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda); semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy) – even have FDA approval for treating obesity. Lirgalutide has been studied in weight gain from antipsychotic medication and appears to produce more weight loss than metformin.   Strategy 6. Melatonin might reduce weight gain from antipsychotic medications This episode mentions that some studies show that melatonin might reduce the amount of weight gained from antipsychotic medication, while at the same time helping to further reduce symptoms of psychosis. The studies referred to are: Romo-Nava F et al. (2014) Melatonin attenuates antipsychotic metabolic effects: an eight-week randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical trial Modabbernia A et al. (2014) Melatonin for prevention of metabolic side-effects of olanzapine in patients with first-episode schizophrenia: randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study. Mostafavi A et al. (2014) Melatonin decreases olanzapine induced metabolic side-effects in adolescents with bipolar disorder: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial.   Summary and suggestions Although the psychiatric profession has been slow to respond to the problem of antipsychotic-related weight gain, there are several options that can reduce the risk of weight gain or that can help someone lose weight. Many psychiatrists are aware of these options and are willing to help. But in cases where the psychiatrist does not know about these options or does not have experience with prescribing medications to assist with weight loss, it's likely that a general practice doctor or an endocrinologist does. The goal of treatment is always to maximize improvement and to avoid side effects whenever possible. And in cases where side effects are unavoidable, the goal should be to minimize them as much as possible. If you're concerned about weight gain, there are options and solutions. Your health care provider should be able to address them, or refer you to someone who can.   Topics 0:44 This episode's question is about weight gain from antipsychotic medication 1:20 – How common is the weight gain problem? 5:49 – Which medications are more likely (or less likely) to cause weight gain? 12:38 – How to these medications lead to weight gain? 15:27 – What are some strategies to prevent or reduce weight gain from antipsychotic medications? 20:56 – How effective is diet and exercise for antipsychotic-related weight gain? 26:28 – Suggestions for someone who is concerned about weight gain from antipsychotic medications.   About the Podcast: Dr. Erik Messamore is a board-certified psychiatric physician and PhD-level pharmacologist.
