Podcasts about ssri

In this episode, we explore four unique antidepressants that do not fit neatly into the traditional SSRI or SNRI categories: trazodone, nefazodone, vilazodone, and vortioxetine. Trazodone and nefazodone are classified as serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitors (SARIs), working primarily through blockade of 5-HT2 receptors while also inhibiting serotonin reuptake. Trazodone’s strong antihistamine and alpha-1 blocking properties make it highly sedating and commonly used off-label for insomnia, whereas nefazodone causes less sedation but is rarely prescribed today because of its association with severe and potentially fatal liver toxicity. Both agents are notable for producing less sexual dysfunction than many traditional SSRIs. We also discuss two newer multimodal antidepressants: vilazodone (Viibryd) and vortioxetine (Trintellix). Vilazodone combines serotonin reuptake inhibition with partial agonism at the 5-HT1A receptor, a mechanism often compared to combining an SSRI with buspirone. Vortioxetine has an even more complex pharmacology, acting as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor while modulating multiple serotonin receptor subtypes through agonist, partial agonist, and antagonist actions. This multimodal activity may contribute to benefits in cognitive symptoms associated with major depressive disorder. Throughout the episode, we compare receptor pharmacology, clinical applications, adverse effect profiles, and the unique characteristics that distinguish these medications from more commonly prescribed antidepressants.

What if the scariest thoughts in your head mean nothing at all? William Schultz spent ten years trapped inside obsessive compulsive disorder. It got so bad he became afraid of his own shadow, checking it every time he flipped a light switch. Then he made one brave decision that put him in remission within two months. No drugs. No endless analysis. Today he's a psychotherapist in St. Paul, president of OCD Twin Cities, and the expert who pushed the International OCD Foundation to revise its own treatment guidelines in 2025.In this conversation, Dr. Roger McFillin and William expose why standard mental health care makes OCD worse. They reveal what actually frees people in an in depth conversation.  If you've ever been attacked by a thought you couldn't turn off, this episode is your way out.

Psychiatric medications have helped many people, but are they always the best solution?In this episode, Kelsi Sheren sits down with Dr. Josef to discuss the benefits, risks, and limitations of modern psychiatric treatment. Together they explore antidepressants, anxiety medications, long-term use, withdrawal challenges, informed consent, and why some patients feel their concerns are ignored.This conversation examines difficult questions surrounding mental health care, including whether medication is sometimes prescribed too quickly, what alternatives may exist, and how patients can make informed decisions about their treatment.Topics include:• The rise of psychiatric medication use• Potential risks and side effects• Dependence and withdrawal challenges• The role of therapy and lifestyle interventions• Informed consent in mental health care• When medication may help and when it may not• How patients can advocate for themselvesWhether you agree or disagree, this episode aims to encourage critical thinking and open discussion about one of the most important issues in modern health care.#MentalHealth #Psychiatry #Antidepressants #PsychiatricMedication #MentalHealthAwareness #KelsiSheren #Psychology #Healthcare #Depression #Anxiety- - - - - - - - - - -Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Rumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

Stephanie Thaler has lived many lives in one. She survived thyroid cancer at 18, gained 60 pounds during radiation treatment while being isolated in a hospital with zero human contact, and came out the other side with a calling — massage therapy. What followed was 28 years of relentless learning, Guinness World Record-breaking fitness (715 burpees in 60 minutes), becoming the massage therapist for the Minnesota Vikings and the 2022 US Women's Olympic Hockey Team, founding the first barefoot massage school in Minnesota, and becoming the highest-paid manual therapist in her state through a technique called adhesion release methods — a specialized approach to releasing nerve entrapments that only 50 practitioners worldwide are certified in. In this conversation with Freddie, Stephanie breaks down what adhesions actually are, why nerve entrapment goes undetected on MRIs and gets dismissed by conventional medicine, how she's getting results in four to six sessions for people who have been in chronic pain for years, and what the difference is between radial and focused shockwave therapy when treating specific nerve pathways. The second half of this episode goes somewhere deeply personal. Stephanie shares that her father died by suicide on Thanksgiving when she was five years old — and that she spent the next 38 years living in a state of chronic fight or flight, cycling through every SSRI, CBT protocol, and alternative therapy available, never finding lasting relief. Until ketamine. In two weeks of six IV sessions, she healed more trauma than 18 years of cognitive behavioral therapy ever touched. Her father came to her in session. God held her. And she came out glowing. She now does at-home ketamine therapy three to five days a week and credits it with putting her depression into remission and fueling the most successful chapter of her career. This is an honest, science-grounded, spiritually rich conversation about healing the body and the nervous system from the inside out — and what becomes possible when you finally feel safe.

In this special solo episode, adapted from a recent live training, Paul F. Austin explores one of the most important and often overlooked realities of microdosing: different substances create different outcomes. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-359/?ref=278  Drawing on more than a decade of experience in psychedelic education and coaching, Paul compares psilocybin, LSD, huachuma (San Pedro), ketamine, and iboga through the lens of client goals, nervous system regulation, emotional processing, cognitive performance, and contraindications. Paul explains why generic microdosing protocols often fall short, how practitioners can better match substances to individual needs, and why context, preparation, and integration matter far more than any single medicine. He also shares why huachuma has become the foundation of the Psychedelic Coaching Institute's microdosing methodology and offers guidance for practitioners looking to support clients with greater precision and care. Highlights: Why generic microdosing protocols can fall short How psilocybin supports emotional processing and inner work LSD's role in focus, creativity, and physiological performance Why huachuma may be especially useful for nervous system regulation Ketamine's role in SSRI tapering and clinical support Iboga's potential for neurodegenerative conditions and brain injury How to match substances to a client's goals and baseline state Why contraindications and clinical-grade intake matter How microdosing can support post-journey integration Why "more medicine" is not always the answer Episode Links: Paul on Instagram The Psychedelic Podcast The Psychedelic Coaching Institute Episode Sponsors: The Practitioner Certification Program by Third Wave's Psychedelic Coaching Institute.

Mace and Jeff put Matt Walsh's antidepressant episode under the clinical microscope — and it does not pass the functional impairment test. They break down the 2022 Molecular Psychiatry umbrella review that dismantled the low-serotonin narrative, explain why that finding doesn't indict SSRIs as a category, and make the case that the “chemical imbalance” pitch was always more pharmaceutical advertising than clinical science. They also tackle what functional impairment actually means in diagnosis, the gender disparity in antidepressant prescribing, whether the SSRI-to-mass-violence argument is causal or just really committed to showing up in the same sentence, and what clinicians should actually be telling clients about medications they can't fully explain. For anyone who has ever explained serotonin to a client and quietly wondered if they knew what they were talking about: this one's for you. Music: “Machine Heart – Instrumental version” by Icarus.

SSRI，全称 selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor，中文叫做选择性血清素再摄取抑制剂，是目前全球使用最广泛的抗抑郁药物。百忧解、左洛复、来士普，这些名字你可能不陌生。仅在美国，2023年就有约11.4%的成年人在服用抗抑郁药物处方。在全球抗抑郁药市场中，SSRI 占据了超过55%的份额，市场规模在2024年达到187亿美元，而且还在持续增长。这类药物之所以能走到今天的位置，背后有一个支撑它的理论——「血清素假说」，也就是抑郁症是因为大脑里的血清素不足。这个假说塑造了几十年来医生开药的逻辑，也塑造了无数患者对自己疾病的理解方式。但问题在于，这个理论从来没有在人体上被直接证明过。这期节目我们聊一聊，血清素假说从何而来，又有哪些证据动摇了它；如果血清素不是答案，科学界目前的新方向是什么；以及两类颠覆性的新药为什么值得关注。时间轴[01:48] 我...去小宇宙查看完整单集简介在小宇宙查看该单集文稿

Spouting Off with Karen Kataline Immigration, Western Civilization, Psychiatric Drugs, and Green Energy Karen Kataline Continues the Alan Nathan Show in Alan's Memory In this episode of The Alan Nathan Show / Alan Nathan All-Stars, host Karen Kataline opens by acknowledging the untimely passing of Alan Nathan and explaining that the show continues in his memory and honor. She notes that she and Alan had often done Mondays together and says it is an honor to help continue the program during this transitional period for the Main Street Radio Network. Throughout the episode, Karen frames the broadcast as part of a new chapter while preserving the spirit, name, and tradition of the Alan Nathan All-Stars. Immigration, Libertarianism, and Sanctuary Policies Karen's first guest is the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, identified in the transcript as Mark Krikorian or a similar spelling. They discuss immigration enforcement, libertarian arguments for open immigration, and the tension between open borders and a welfare state. Mark argues that libertarians once aligned more closely with conservatives on taxes, regulation, and the size of government, but now often align with the left on questions of sovereignty, borders, and immigration. He cites Milton Friedman's argument that open immigration and a welfare state cannot coexist and says that while social programs can be tightened, the welfare state is not simply going away. Chicago, ICE, and Local Non-Cooperation The discussion then turns to Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois, which Mark describes as sanctuary jurisdictions. He explains that ICE is not asking local police to conduct immigration checks in the street, but to hold criminal suspects who are already arrested and fingerprinted if they are deportable, so ICE can take custody. He argues that sanctuary policies release deportable offenders back into communities and says this especially harms immigrant neighborhoods. Karen and Mark also criticize Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, accusing them of interfering with immigration enforcement and downplaying violence in Chicago. Karen Reflects on Alan Nathan and the Show's Transition After the first interview and intervening ad segments, Karen returns to discuss the show's transition after Alan Nathan's death. She encourages listeners to hear the tribute program that aired over the weekend and recalls clips of Alan and his wife Jane from years earlier, describing their on-air chemistry as entertaining, lively, argumentative, and classic talk radio. Karen says it is a sad time for everyone at Main Street Radio Network, but emphasizes that the Alan Nathan Show and Alan Nathan All-Stars tradition will continue. James Hankins on The Golden Thread and Western Civilization Karen then welcomes James Hankins, described as a Harvard University historian and co-author of The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition. Hankins explains that the “golden thread” is a metaphor for the Western tradition, and that the book aims to recover the history of Western civilization from the ancient Greeks and Romans through the Middle Ages and into the modern world. He argues that this history has not been properly taught in schools or universities for decades, leaving people without a shared understanding of democracy, republics, communism, socialism, and the meaning of Western civic life. Communism, Democratic Socialism, and Historical Amnesia Karen connects the discussion to contemporary politics, warning against Marxism, communism, and democratic socialism. Hankins says many people who call themselves democratic socialists do not understand what the term means or how socialism has operated historically. He argues that adding the word “democratic” does not solve the deeper problem, because socialism has not historically favored democracy. Karen and Hankins agree that many public arguments suffer because people no longer share basic definitions or historical knowledge, especially about the distinction between a republic and a democracy. Dr. Toby Watson on Psychiatric Drugs and Violence Later, Karen interviews clinical psychologist Dr. Toby Watson, who says he has worked on research and testimony related to psychiatric medications, including SSRI antidepressants and black-box warning labels. Watson says his work involves outcome research on psychotropic medications and forensic cases where people with no history of violence commit violent or self-destructive acts after taking medication. Karen asks whether antidepressants and psychiatric medications may be contributing to violence, especially in the wake of Columbine-era discussions. Watson answers strongly that SSRIs can increase suicidal thoughts and behavior and says this is acknowledged in FDA black-box warnings. Akathisia, Political Motives, and Youth Medication Dr. Watson discusses akathisia, describing it as an inner agitation or restlessness that can make people feel as though they want to crawl out of their skin. He says it can occur with SSRIs and is even more common with antipsychotics. Karen asks whether suppression of this information may be about more than money, suggesting possible political motives. Watson agrees that politics can be involved and argues that children in poverty, especially those connected to Medicaid or Medicare systems, are disproportionately medicated at higher doses even when diagnosis and symptom severity are considered. He also references Anatomy of an Epidemic and argues that long-term psychiatric drug use can contribute to disability and general decline. Gender Ideology, Violence Profiles, and Dr. Watson's Cautions Karen and Watson also discuss social contagion, gender ideology, and political violence. Karen asks about the murder of Charlie Kirk and whether the alleged killer was on psychiatric medication. Watson says he has no direct knowledge and is not involved in that investigation, cautioning that too much misinformation is circulating to make a firm claim. However, he says the suspect fits a known profile for certain kinds of shooters and that, statistically, it would not surprise him if psychiatric medication were involved. Karen closes the short segment by inviting Watson back and directing listeners to his work online. Steve Goreham / Gorham on Green Energy and Rising Electricity Prices Karen closes the show with Steve Goreham or Steve Gorham, described as executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure. The conversation focuses on rising electricity prices, renewable energy policies, and what Karen calls the “green new scam.” Steve argues that expensive electricity increases are concentrated in blue states that have pursued aggressive green policies, naming California, Maine, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. He contrasts those with states such as Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Missouri, which he says rely more on natural gas or coal and have seen smaller increases. AI, Data Centers, Pipelines, and Energy Reality Steve argues that green-energy policies are running into the reality of rising electricity demand, especially from artificial intelligence and data centers built by companies such as Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon. He says AI-related electricity demand requires constant 24-hour power and cannot be reliably supported by wind and solar alone. Karen and Steve also discuss the Keystone pipeline, New York pipeline politics, natural gas constraints in New England, offshore wind leverage, and the role of Trump administration energy policy. Steve closes by directing listeners to his book Green Breakdown and website. Closing the New Chapter of the Alan Nathan All-Stars Karen ends the show by saying the Alan Nathan All-Stars are heading into a new chapter, but with Alan Nathan still serving as the program's guiding star. The episode as a whole blends remembrance of Alan with Karen's political and cultural commentary, moving through immigration enforcement, Western civilization, psychiatric drugs, gender ideology, energy policy, and the future of American public debate.

Mitä tapahtuu ihmiselle, kun hänelle kerrotaan vuosien ajan, että hänen aivonsa ovat epätasapainossa ja että ratkaisu löytyy lääkepurkista? Tässä OkeiOllaRikki -podcastin jaksossa Nora Kinnunen kertoo oman tarinansa SSRI-lääkityksestä, sen seurauksista ja siitä, miten lääkitys vei häntä vuosi vuodelta kauemmas itsestään. Kyse ei ole vain sivuvaikutuksista. Kyse on identiteetistä, ihmisyydestä ja siitä, mitä tapahtuu, kun kärsimystä aletaan hoitaa ensisijaisesti kemiallisena vikana. Jaksossa käydään läpi Noran tie ensimmäiseen SSRI-reseptiin, lääkityksen pitkäaikainen käyttö sekä hetki, jolloin hän alkoi kyseenalaistaa koko tarinan, jota hänelle oli vuosia kerrottu. Kerrottiinko mahdollisista haitoista oikeasti riittävästi? Kuinka moni ymmärtää aloittaessaan lääkityksen, että lopettaminen voi olla oma pitkä ja raskas prosessinsa? Keskustelussa pureudutaan myös lääkäreiden ja lääketeollisuuden valtaan masennuskeskustelussa sekä siihen, kuinka nopeasti inhimillinen kärsimys muutetaan diagnooseiksi ja lääkityksiksi. Nora pohtii avoimesti, kokiko hän koskaan olevansa biologisesti “rikki” – vai opetettiinko hänet uskomaan niin. Jakso nostaa esiin vaikeita mutta välttämättömiä kysymyksiä: Onko nykyinen mielenterveyden hoito aidosti ihmisen auttamista vai oireiden hiljentämistä? Voiko yhteiskunta, joka ylläpitää jatkuvaa stressiä, suorittamista, yksinäisyyttä ja irrallisuutta, samaan aikaan myydä lääkkeitä ratkaisuksi ongelmiin, joita se itse synnyttää? Lisäksi keskustellaan riippuvuuksista, sosiaalisen median vaikutuksesta ihmismieleen, ympäristön kuormittavuudesta, musiikin parantavasta voimasta sekä siitä, miksi moni ihminen tuntee nykymaailmassa olevansa jatkuvasti vääränlainen.

Delilah, one of the most iconic voices in American radio, sits down with Bunnie Xo for a raw, emotional, and surprisingly funny deep dive into the life behind her legendary late-night show. With 8–10 million weekly listeners, she's been the comforting voice in America's bedrooms for decades—but here she opens up in a way you rarely hear.In this episode, Delilah talks about growing up with a high-functioning alcoholic father and a codependent mother, discovering secret half-siblings just miles away, and even being duct-taped by a teacher for talking too much—only to turn that “problem” into a superpower and a record-breaking radio career. She shares the harsh sexism and harassment she faced in radio, the mentor who helped her transform a throwaway nighttime shift into a national brand, and the night she hit rock bottom, asked God to prove He was real, and began a completely new chapter of faith.Delilah also takes us inside her life as a mom to a huge blended family through birth, foster care, and international adoption, and she doesn't shy away from the dark realities of the foster system or the trauma so many kids carry. She opens up about losing her son Sammy to sickle cell complications and her son Zach to suicide after SSRI side effects, and how she still chooses love, service, and God in the middle of unthinkable grief. From farm-to-table living, gardening and cows, to a house full of kids and multiple girls named Delilah, this conversation is as real and layered as it gets.Delilah: Website | TikTok | FB | IGWatch Full Episodes & More: YouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

About six million Canadians fill prescriptions for antidepressants. And now, SSRI's are coming under increasing scrutiny with a push to curb psychiatric drugs in the United States.. We discuss the latest, evidence-based research on depression about what we know - and don't know - about its causes, and whether the drugs prescribed to treat it are still the best option.

Went to your doctor in your early 40s with sudden anxiety, insomnia, brain fog or unexplained weight gain — and walked out with an antidepressant? Author and nurse practitioner Dani Williamson joins Dr. Chris Motley to explain why SSRIs are not the answer to perimenopause, what's actually happening in your body as estrogen drops, and how healing your gut can bring your thyroid and hormones back into balance.  Key Takeaways from this Conversation: Women are being prescribed SSRIs for anxiety when the real cause is perimenopause. There's no SSRI for that.  Estrogen-loss comes with mood symptoms, weight gain and health concerns like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis as your thyroid begins to slow down.  Fix your gut and your thyroid and hormones will (usually!) fall into place.  Dani Williamson's Top 7 Most Inflammatory Food: Gluten Dairy Soy Corn  Sugar Eggs  Peanuts If your doctor's reaction to a health concern brought on by estrogen-loss is “let's just watch this for 6 months,” it's time to find a new doctor.  A tiny low-dose estrogen patch can change your perimenopause game.  Healing trauma and abuse is key (especially when it comes to thyroid health): Unaddressed childhood trauma can collide with the body-chaos of perimenopause. EMDR and talk therapy can help with this journey.   ------  Follow Doctor Motley!

When South Korea restricted non-psychiatrists from prescribing SSRI antidepressants for longer than 60 days in 2002, the nation unintentionally set off a devastating longitudinal case study in public health. This episode examines the clinical correlation between reduced antidepressant access and the subsequent escalation of national suicide rates over the following decades. We dissect the behavioral pharmacology of depression, the critical importance of early intervention, and how restrictive healthcare policies can radically alter patient outcomes.

A small 2026 randomized controlled trial found that adding low-dose dextromethorphan (DXM, 15 mg twice daily) to ongoing SSRI treatment significantly reduced Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) scores in adults with SSRI-resistant OCD, dropping from about 26.6 to 16.3 over 12 weeks versus little change on placebo. Strengths include its double-blind, placebo-controlled design, strong statistical effect size, excellent tolerability with no reported side effects, and alignment with the glutamatergic hypothesis of OCD. Limitations center on the tiny sample size (n=40), single-center location in Iran, lack of secondary outcomes or long-term follow-up, and potential pharmacokinetic variability from SSRI interactions; broader evidence from meta-analyses of other glutamatergic agents supports the approach but calls for larger confirmatory trials.

Hour 2 for 5/18/26 Drew and Brooke pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy (1:00). Then, Josef Witt-Doerring, MD joins Drew to discuss SSRI withdrawal (28:06). Topics: why these drugs are prescribed so often (31:21), side effects (37:39), dealing with depression (41:24), overdosing (46:36), and OCD (48:34).

If you can come to central Indiana for treatment, and you want to see if you qualify for this therapy, please schedule a free consultation: https://consult.alphaomegawellness.co...Have you been on Lexapro, Zoloft, Prozac, Wellbutrin, or Effexor for years, only to realize they aren't working like they used to? You aren't crazy, and you aren't weak. It's a documented medical phenomenon called tachyphylaxis (or "antidepressant poop-out"), and it happens to about 30% of people on SSRIs.In this video, Dr. Dee Bonney explains exactly what SSRIs do inside your brain, why your brain adapts by downregulating receptors, and why simply increasing your dose often leads to a plateau of emotional numbing and some side effects.More importantly, Dr. Dee explains the alternative path: the glutamate system. Learn how treatments like IV ketamine therapy bypass the serotonin system entirely to trigger the release of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) - the "Miracle-Gro" for your brain that physically regrows synaptic connections lost to chronic stress and depression.If you've been quietly carrying on at an SSRI plateau, this video is for you. It's about brain health, not mental health. It's mechanism over willpower.

In this episode, we explore how to manage SSRI treatment in pregnant patients — addressing common fears around fetal malformations, medication switching, and neonatal withdrawal.

A recent study examines how South Korea's 2002 limits on SSRI prescribing by primary care physicians coincided with a striking rise in national suicide rates. This episode reviews the Korean evidence alongside international research on antidepressant access and suicide trends, highlighting methodological strengths and limitations. It concludes with balanced policy implications for mental-health care that weigh risks of both overprescribing and restricted access.

Today's Headlines: Trump kicked off the week rejecting Iran's latest peace proposal with "I don't like it — totally unacceptable," while a confidential Economist document reveals Russia offered Iran 5,000 advanced drones and training for 10,000 soldiers to use them against American troops. Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei hasn't been seen publicly since being severely injured in the airstrike that killed most of his family, complicating Iran's ability to negotiate. Someone also unveiled a 22-foot golden Trump statue at a Florida golf course, which his evangelical adviser insists is definitely not idol worship. In the redistricting wars, Virginia's Supreme Court struck down the congressional map that Virginia voters just voted for — the same court that previously cleared it — handing Republicans a significant midterm advantage before the south has even finished gerrymandering. Trump announced an "election integrity army" in every state this November, the FBI opened a new investigation into Wisconsin's 2020 election results, and the DOJ subpoenaed Fulton County for the names of every 2020 election worker, which Fulton County is fighting in court. To distract from all of this, the Pentagon started releasing UFO files, which is a thing that is happening. In brain worm updates, RFK Jr. is reportedly exploring banning certain SSRIs including Zoloft, Prozac, and Lexapro — his department denied it, though he just announced initiatives to reduce SSRI prescriptions. The Trump administration is also planning to cut Social Security disability benefits for people living with family members by up to a third, potentially affecting 400,000 people — call your congresspeople. Trump Media posted a $405 million loss on just $900,000 in revenue, 600,000 MAGA fans who paid a nonrefundable deposit for the Trump Phone in 2025 still don't have their devices and are finally revolting, and the Hantavirus cruise passengers are being carefully evacuated home from the Canary Islands with isolation protocols in place. And finally, Rudy Giuliani — who was read his last rites last week — is attempting to get his hospital bills covered by a federal fund for 9/11 first responders, which is one way to handle bankruptcy.

A generation prescribed antidepressants by a vulture-like media/pharma complex starts to awaken. Did we really need these medications? What did they do to us? Kamala Harris' step daughter Ella Emhoff records her own awakening. Peter Doocy digs into the first drop of UFO Files and tells us what we think we see... and what we know we don't. The father of modern rocketry, Werhner von Braun, warned his closest associate 50 years ago that the deep state would play a final card - ALIENS - to normalize a space weapon program built on a lie.  

RFK Jr.'s push to reduce antidepressant dependence is drawing fire from MSNBC and Reuters, and Jordan and Nate break down why. With 1 in 6 American adults on SSRIs and the global market generating $20 billion per year, the push for deprescribing pathways backed by a new CMS billing code is a genuine disruption to pharma revenue. RFK shares a personal account of a family member's SSRI withdrawal he describes as harder than heroin detox. The show then dismantles the hantavirus media cycle: 5 cases on a cruise ship, Moderna already codeveloping a vaccine, and Robert Malone reminding everyone that a lightning strike is statistically more likely. FDA Commissioner Makary's admission that the FDA deliberately misled the public on dietary fat for nearly two decades gets its moment, followed by a DOJ investigation into the Big Four meatpackers for antitrust violations and foreign ownership concerns. The episode closes with a discussion on statin overuse, CoQ10 depletion, thyroid health, iodine sources, and the structural problem of corporate consolidation across farming and food supply chains.

In this episode, we break down the pharmacology of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) with a focus on the high-yield clinical pearls pharmacists, medical students, and healthcare professionals need to know. We compare the major SSRIs—including fluoxetine, sertraline, paroxetine, citalopram, escitalopram, and fluvoxamine—based on adverse effects, drug interactions, pharmacokinetics, and board exam relevance. Topics include serotonin syndrome, discontinuation syndrome, CYP450 interactions, QT prolongation, sexual dysfunction, weight changes, and SSRI selection in special populations such as older adults and pregnancy. Whether you are preparing for exams, clinical rotations, or looking to sharpen your psychopharmacology knowledge, this episode provides practical and memorable insights into one of the most commonly prescribed medication classes.

Grief doesn't care about your timeline and it definitely doesn't care about what other people think you “should” be sad about. I'm sharing the truth of grieving my dog Benjamin, including how the pain knocked me into a depression, how shame kept me quiet, and why losing a pet can feel like the biggest loss of your life.We get into the messy reality of anticipatory grief too: the slow decline, the constant vet visits, the bargaining that sounds like “if I do everything right, this won't happen,” and the way perfectionism turns tragedy into self-blame. I also talk about one of my biggest roadblocks, intellectualizing. When you're highly analytical or have interoceptive difficulties, it's easy to understand grief without actually feeling it, and that gap can keep you stuck for years.From there, we zoom out to the cultural problem. Western grief support often looks like discomfort, time limits, and toxic positivity. Phrases like “they're in a better place,” “you can get another one,” or “everything happens for a reason” might be meant as comfort, but they can steal someone's pain. What helps more is holding space, letting sadness exist, and allowing mourning to be real.I share practical tools that helped me start integrating grief: treating grieving like a practice, learning how to “anger” safely (scream into a pillow, write the letter you never send), making room for crying and sadness even when an SSRI blunts tears, and acknowledging small everyday losses so you're not blindsided by the big ones.

Over 30 million Americans have been told a 19 billion dollar lie. Find out what doctors don't tell you about SSRI side effects, antidepressant effectiveness, and antidepressant risks that affect more people than you think. 0:00 Introduction: The 19 billion dollar lie1:12 Irving Kirsch and medical research bias2:09 Hamilton Depression Scale 2:59 Placebo vs. drug study for antidepressant effectiveness4:16 Antidepressant side effects4:33 Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction and emotional blunting5:49 Antidepressants and the placebo effect explained7:38 Natural antidepressants Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07Antidepressant effectiveness may be overstated. Irving Kirsch examined clinical trials on antidepressants and found that around 78% of them were unpublished, rewritten, or contained inflated results.The “gold standard” for measuring depression is the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), which relies on subjective reporting and was not originally created to diagnose depression.In placebo-controlled trials, antidepressants did not significantly improve depression more than a sugar pill. A good night's sleep can improve the symptoms of depression significantly more than medication. Antidepressants come with a black box warning and many other side effects, including the following:• Sexual dysfunction • Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction • Emotional blunting• Discontinuation syndrome• Insomnia• Nausea• Anxiety• DepressionExercise, St. John's wort, omega-3s, and adequate sleep can help improve the symptoms of depression naturally.

There is some idea now that any woman with a loving husband wants sex. This could not be less true. Women may not want sex for all kinds of reasons that have zero to do with their husbands. They may be tired or stressed NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE DOES IN THE HOUSE (including 100% of the chores which I've seen many times), they may just have lower drives (remember there's a normal distribution of most every trait), they may have depression or anxiety, they may be older and at a changed hormonal stage, they may have a trauma history, they may be on medications that impact drive like SSRI's (or GLP-1 blockers as new research shows), they may have a condition with fatigue as a symptom like anemia or of course chronic fatigue. In fact, it's ANTI FEMINIST to say that a woman's drive would be solely due to a man, as women are not a purely reactive monolith.

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

Hey Tinnitus Friends & Family, A new study from Oregon Health & Science University found a direct brain circuit linking serotonin to tinnitus symptoms. If you're taking antidepressants and have tinnitus, you've probably seen the headlines—and maybe felt some panic. Here's the truth: this is good science, not a reason to stop your medication. In this video, I break down what the research actually found, why mouse studies can't tell the whole story, and what this means if you're currently taking SSRIs. I also share my personal experience—I take SSRIs myself, and they haven't worsened my tinnitus. **Key Takeaways:** ✅ The study found a serotonin → auditory circuit that can create tinnitus-like behavior in mice ✅ This validates what some people report, but doesn't mean SSRIs "cause" tinnitus ✅ SSRIs can be life-changing for depression and anxiety—the benefits often far outweigh risks ✅ Never stop medication without talking to your doctor ✅ Habituation works regardless of whether you're on medication **Timestamps:** 0:00 Introduction: Who I Am (and Who I'm Not) 1:15 Why This Research Matters 2:20 What Are SSRIs? 3:40 The Study Explained: Serotonin → Auditory Circuit 5:10 How the Research Was Done (Optogenetics) 6:30 What Dr. Trussell Said About Future Treatments 7:45 My Take: What This Means for YOU 9:20 My Personal Experience with SSRIs 10:15 Bottom Line: Talk to Your Doctor 11:00 You Don't Have to Do This Alone **Resources Mentioned:**

We start with a frustrating reality: 70% of OB-GYNs never ask patients about orgasm. And when women finally get the courage to bring it up themselves, the answer is usually "I'm so sorry, this just happens when you age."I ask Dr. Streicher to break down what an orgasm actually is and why arousal has to happen first. We discuss the different types of orgasms clitoral, cervical, and the controversial G-spot. Dr. Streicher shares the fascinating Maria Bonaparte research from the 1920s that discovered the 2.5 centimeter rule and why anatomical distance matters for orgasm during intercourse.We dive into primary versus acquired orgasmic dysfunction. For women who've never had an orgasm, nine out of ten times they just need education and a map to their clitoris. For women who used to have orgasms and can't anymore, SSRIs are often the culprit not hormones. We discuss solutions including Viagra, topical sildenafil, CBD, and why local estrogen on the clitoris matters.Dr. Streicher walks me through the history of vibrators and why they become necessary as women age and nerve endings become less sensitive. We talk about how to bring up using a vibrator with a partner and why it's a tool to make something possible, not just a toy for fun.We also discuss the FDA's removal of the box warning from local vaginal estrogen and what that means for women who were told they couldn't use it.HighlightsThe tiny nerve endings in the clitoris that respond to soft touch degenerate the most with age, while thicker ones that respond to vibration stay intact longer.The cervix has nerve endings that go to a different part of the spinal cord, which is why some women with spinal cord injuries can still have cervical orgasms.About 30% of women who develop orgasmic dysfunction from SSRIs will see improvement if they wait it out.There's no expiration date on local vaginal estrogen you can start using it at 99 years old,Only 7% of women consistently reach orgasm from intercourse alone without additional clitoral stimulation.If you're experiencing difficulty with orgasm or sexual function, don't accept "this just happens with age" as an answer. There are real solutions available, from addressing SSRI side effects to using local estrogen to exploring vibrators as medical tools.Talk to your provider about what's actually happening. If they don't have answers, find someone who specializes in sexual medicine.Connect with Dr. Streicher:WebsitePodcastInstagramGet in Touch with Me:WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstackMentioned in this episode:GSM CollectiveThe GSM Collective - Chicago Boutique concierge gynecology practice Led by Dr. Sameena Rahman, specialist in sexual medicine & menopause Unrushed appointments in a beautiful, private setting Personalized care for women's health, hormones, and pelvic floor issues Multiple membership options available Ready for personalized women's healthcare?

It is increasingly understood that our brain health is dependent on our having healthy nutrient levels. But how do nutrients actually impact our neurotransmitters.We might assume that certain nutrient levels would cause certain symptoms or conditions. Instead, what we find are biotypes - one condition is often associated with a small handful of imbalances. For example, the biotypes of depression from the Walsh Research Institute, included undermethylation, overmethylation, pyrrole disorder, copper overload and metal toxicity. And reversely, one nutrient imbalance can contribute to a range of brain symptoms. Copper overload, for example, can be a factor in ADHD for one person, but for another contribute to panic or insomnia and still another rage or tantrums. There are some conditions, however, that have a very strong associations with specific nutrient imbalances. In this newsletter, I will address:* 5 Ways Nutrients Impact Neurotransmitter Functioning* Psychiatric Conditions That Can Almost Predict a Specific Nutrient ImbalanceThe data comes from the Walsh Research Institute. Nutrient Imbalances Can Be Due to Too Much or Too LittleI use the term nutrient imbalances, because it's not just about deficiencies of certain nutrients. Specific nutrient overloads can impact brain health as well. This biochemical diversity means we don't all have the same needs when it comes to diet and supplementation. Some of us, for example, can benefit from folate, but for others with excess folate, supplementation could worsen depression and anxiety. Those with copper overload can similarly have worsening of symptoms with copper supplementation, while others will have a need for copper.What Causes Nutrient ImbalancesWhile it might seem that this is all about our intake of nutrients, we can come by these imbalances genetically. We can also acquire deficiencies and even overloads through high oxidative stress. This is when our body (including our brain) is dealing with too many insults, resulting in a depletion of our inherent antioxidants leaving us vulnerable to DNA and thus cell damage, inflammation and their consequences). Copper zinc imbalances and elevated pyrroles, which results in relatively low zinc and B6, are signs of oxidative stress. Often an imbalance appears to have multiple causes. For example a woman with high copper causing high anxiety, could have a family history of high copper conditions (post partum depression, ADHD, angry outbursts) and thus have a likely genetic vulnerability. She may also, be taking a multivitamin with copper, eating a lot of chocolate (high in copper) dealing with high oxidative stress and not the least, be on an oral contraceptive (added estrogen can make copper go up).5 Ways Nutrients Can Impact Neurotransmitter FunctioningNutrients often function as co-factors, helping certain enzymes do their job. Specific nutrients are needed: * For production of neurotransmitters. Vitamin B6, for example is needed to make serotonin, dopamine and GABA. B6 can be low in pyrrole disorder and thus contribute to a range of symptoms.* To convert one neurotransmitter to another. Copper is needed to turn dopamine into norepinephrine (think adrenaline). If we are high in copper, we could have relatively low dopamine and high adrenaline states, which is what is seen in ADHD.* To support enzymes involved in the breakdown of neurotransmitters. For example MAOA is an enzyme that needs Vitamin B2 to do its job breaking down serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. If these aren't broken down, there could be problems with activation and anxiety.* To help receptors do their job. Receptors are what neurotransmitters bind to, resulting in a impulse being sent down the nerve cell. Zinc and magnesium help regulate the NMDA receptor. If not well regulated, there can be high activity, which can look like thoughts getting stuck - ruminations, obsessions in OCD, cravings in addiction, and even delusions in psychosis.* Regulate the expression of genes for serotonin reuptake receptors. Folate causes an increase in the expression of these genes (and thus production of these receptors). This results in more serotonin being picked up and less available between nerve cells. This could be a problem for someone who already has low serotonin symptoms. SAMe, on the other hand, does the opposite and it can function like an SSRI.Why One Diagnosis Isn't Always Associated With One Imbalance* Psychiatric conditions appear to have various causes. If someone comes to me with a diagnosis of depression, for example, that only tells me what type of symptoms they likely have. It doesn't tell me if those symptoms are related to high copper, a methylation imbalance, elevated pyrroles, candida, a misaligned upper cervical spine , mast cell activation, mold toxicity, metal toxicity, hormone imbalances or a combination of any of these…….or something else.* More often multiple factors appear to be aligning. It is not uncommon, for example, to have candida or mold causing high pyrroles causing low zinc, leading to high copper, and as an aside also be undermethylated.* One “root cause” can contribute to a range of conditions and symptoms. Some people with high copper are diagnosed with depression or anxiety and others with ADHD. Some people who are undermethylated have OCD, others depression and still other schizophrenia. Very often, people will be have multiple diagnoses fitting with an imbalance. “Comorbidities” in psychiatry are the norm, rather than the exception.Despite all of this, there are certain nutrient imbalances that occur so commonly in certain psychiatric conditions that they can almost be predicted . Data From Walsh Research InstituteSimply knowing someone has a mental health condition makes it more likely that they will have a methylation imbalance - more often undermethylation.The Walsh Research Institute has looked at the methylation status of 30,000 over 40 year and found that 70% of those with mental illness exhibit a methylation imbalance (undermethylation and overmethylation). This is relative to the general population, in which 30% had a methylation imbalance.Other Data From the Walsh Research Institute:* History of Postpartum Depression - 95% have copper overload* ADHD - 68% have a copper zinc imbalance* Autism Spectrum Disorder - 98% undermethylation, 98% low zinc* Antisocial Personality Disorder - 95% undermethylation, 95% pyrrole disorder, 95% low zinc* Oppositional Defiant Disorder - 85% undermethylation* Schizoaffective Disorder - 90% undermethylation* Anorexia - 82% undermethylation* Schizophrenia - 70% undermethylation* Violent behavior - 78% high copperEvaluation & Labs Are Still ImportantNone of these are 100%. And, again, there is rarely one contributing factor, so a comprehensive evaluation and lab testing are still important. Even if I am fairly confident that someone is low in zinc, I don't recommend starting zinc without checking zinc and copper levels. Starting zinc too rapidly can mobilize high copper and worsen symptoms. If copper is low, zinc can cause a further decrease.Also, there are occasions when it can be difficult to address an imbalance, without addressing another contributing issue first. For example, I see some patients who are unable to tolerate treatment of undermethylation until they begin treatment for candida or mold.There is always so much more data to share, when it comes to the Walsh Research Institute. I look forward to discussing biotypes of depression, ADHD and schizophrenia in a future episode.As always, I welcome your comments and questions.Until next time,CourtneyTo learn more about my discovery calls, non-patient consultations, and treatment practice, visit:CourtneySnyderMD.comMedical Disclaimer:This newsletter is for educational purposes and not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment for either yourself or others, including but not limited to patients that you are treating (if you are a practitioner).
