Have you or someone you loved considered taking antidepressants for mental health, but had concerns? Listen in as Dr. Andrew Novick talks about the research and the science behind these drugs and other options for those struggling with MDD and other mental health concerns.    In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Andrew Novick discuss major depressive disorder (MDD) and its treatment options. Dr. Novick explains the key characteristics of MDD and discusses some of the many treatment options, which include psychotherapy, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy, and pharmacological interventions like SSRIs. He highlights the effectiveness of esketamine for treatment-resistant MDD, and also addresses the controversy surrounding SSRIs and the potential of new treatments like psilocybin, noting ongoing research and regulatory challenges.    Key Takeaways: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) can begin in childhood, but can often show up as irritability rather than other traditional depressive symptoms that we would see in adults. It's also more common to see it manifest during puberty, rather than before. Treating MDD does not require starting with psychotherapy. Medication can help more immediately, especially because there is an obstacle to accessible therapy for a lot of people. It can also be a tool used in tandem with therapy.  While there are no blood tests or simple diagnostic tests to see if you have depression, like with an infectious disease model, there are some brain scans that can show signs of depression, especially across wide populations of individuals.  There is no one gene that is associated with MDD. However, through research, many different genes have been identified, often related to brain function and stress response.    "If depression goes untreated, the most awful consequence of that is potential suicide." —  Dr. Andrew Novick   Connect with Dr. Andrew Novick: Professional Bio: https://som.cuanschutz.edu/Profiles/Faculty/Profile/29109  ResearchGate:  https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Andrew-Novick  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/annovick    Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Medication has been part of my mental health journey for the last 10 years, and today I'm sharing that story with you.In this episode, we're having an honest, judgment-free conversation about SSRIs and SNRIs, what they are, how they work, and why I believe it's time to normalize talking about mental health medication. After asking my Instagram community whether they were currently taking an SSRI or SNRI, I was surprised to see just how many people quietly said yes. It reminded me that so many of us are carrying anxiety or depression behind closed doors while believing we're alone.I'll walk you through my own experience of starting medication at 16 years old, spending years on the highest dosage, and now slowly tapering with the guidance of my healthcare provider after building healthy coping skills, going to therapy, prioritizing movement, nutrition, sleep, and other holistic practices.We'll also break down the basics of SSRIs and SNRIs in simple language, talk about why these medications take time to work, why tapering matters, and why medication should never be viewed as a sign of weakness or failure.*****REMINDER THAT THIS IS FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY. I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL DOCTOR. Most importantly, I want to share why I believe healing isn't about finding one "fix." Whether you're taking medication, considering it, supporting someone who is, or simply curious to learn more, this episode is a reminder that mental health care is never one-size-fits-all. True healing often comes from looking at the whole person, mind, body, relationships, purpose, and daily habits—and giving ourselves permission to seek support without shame.If this episode resonates with you, I'd love for you to share it with someone who may need to hear this message. As always, thank you for spending part of your week with me.You are so loved here.*****REMINDER THAT THIS IS FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY.

Blake Mycoskie gave away millions of shoes and built the blueprint for conscious capitalism, then sold Tom's and walked straight into the darkest years of his life. In this conversation he traces the whole arc, from the dream house in Jackson Hole to a psychiatrist's offhand bipolar diagnosis, four medications, and the morning he called two friends because he no longer felt safe being alone.What pulled him out was a slow, carefully guided taper, a men's group he started nineteen years ago after one conversation with his father, and the same truth that keeps finding him through plant medicine: you are enough, exactly as you are. Blake and Aubrey get honest about the shaky science behind SSRIs, the distance between guilt and shame, why men wait until everything is broken before they reach for help, and how the wound of never feeling enough quietly runs an entire life until you finally turn and face it.| Blake Mycoskie |►Website | https://weareenough.co/►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/blakemycoskie/?hl=en►YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@nomagicpillwithblakemycoskieThis episode is sponsored by►Metal Mark Gold Aurum Collectable Art |  ⁠https://mtlmrk.com/⁠►Korrect Life | ⁠https://korrectlife.com/| Aubrey Marcus |►Website | ⁠⁠https://www.aubreymarcus.com/►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/aubreymarcus►Facebook |⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/AubreyMarcus/►X |⁠ https://x.com/aubreymarcus►Substack: https://www.aubreymarcus.com/blogs/substack► Love To The Seventh Power: ⁠https://chakaruna.com/collections/books⁠Subscribe to the Aubrey Marcus podcast:►iTunes |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apple.co/2lMZRCn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Spotify |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://spoti.fi/2EaELZO ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►IHeartRadio |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ihr.fm/3CiV4x3 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Partner with the Aubrey Marcus Podcast | https://www.aubreymarcus.com/pages/booking

Dr. Utter shares her clinical perspective on why psychiatrists ask about sleep, social history, and lifestyle, and how medication acts as a collaborative tool to reduce symptom intensity rather than a quick fix. Whether you are curious about starting psychiatric care or deciding between virtual and clinic visits, this episode offers a practical, reassuring roadmap for your mental health journey. Tune in to Discover: What to Expect at a First Visit: Why initial psychiatric intakes last over an hour and why providers ask broad questions about medical history, sleep, and lifestyle. Virtual vs. In-Person Care: The unique benefits of virtual psychiatry (convenience, accessibility) compared to in-person care (physical exams, tracking specific movement side effects). The "Lowest Effective Dose" Principle: How psychiatrists avoid over-medication and polypharmacy by starting low, titrating slowly, and prioritizing evidence-based, non-medication recommendations. How Medications Actually Work: A simplified look at how SSRIs support brain plasticity and why full benefits can take 6 to 8 weeks as new neural connections form. The Traction Analogy: How medication and therapy work together to help patients stop "spinning their wheels" and make meaningful progress.

Is Medication Right for Your OCD? A Psychiatrist Breaks Down SSRIs, Dosing, and What Actually WorksIf you've ever wondered whether medication could help your OCD or anxiety, or you've tried an SSRI and felt like "nothing worked," this episode is for you. Matt Codde, LCSW sits down with Dr. Melissa Quinn, a triple board certified psychiatrist who specializes in OCD treatment, for a full breakdown of how medication actually works, why so many people are underdosed, and how medication and therapy work together rather than against each other.Dr. Quinn walks through SSRIs, clomipramine, augmentation strategies, and common myths (including the cannabis conversation you don't want to miss), while Matt reframes ERP through the Restored Minds lens of emotional integration rather than symptom elimination.

Join bestselling authors Kerri Maher and Annie Hartnett as they discuss their books, failed projects that didn't sell, dogs who need SSRIs, the magic of doing “The Artist's Way,” and bowling nights with fellow writers.  ​You'll also hear the story about one of them being booed at her own wedding!

About this episode:   Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, are the most widely used class of antidepressants. While these medications have undoubtedly saved lives, they have also gained scrutiny for having significant side effects and being difficult to taper off of.

Guest:  Dr. Paul Nestadt is an associate professor of Mental Health who studies the epidemiology of suicide and serves as the primary supervising psychiatrist for the Johns Hopkins Hospital Anxiety Disorders Clinic. Dr. Jimmy Potash, MPH, is the director of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and psychiatrist-in-chief at Johns Hopkins Medicine. Host:  Stephanie Desmon, MA, is a former journalist, author, and the director of public relations and communications for the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs.

For decades, depression has often been described as the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain. But how strong is the evidence behind that idea? This episode explores one perspective on an area of medicine that continues to be actively debated and is intended to encourage thoughtful discussion—not to provide individualized medical advice. Today on The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm joined by psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Joanna Moncrieff to examine the science behind the serotonin theory and explore how it shaped modern mental health care. Together, we consider why rethinking our assumptions may open the door to a more complete understanding of depression and recovery. We discuss: • Whether depression is best understood through the lens of a chemical imbalance—or something far more complex • How the serotonin theory shaped modern psychiatry and why it's increasingly being questioned • What current research says about antidepressants, emotional numbing, and informed consent • Why lifestyle, nutrition, trauma, and social connection deserve a larger role in supporting mental health • How a more individualized, whole-person approach could change the way we think about depression and recovery Mental health treatment is deeply personal, and this episode explores one perspective on an area of medicine that continues to evolve. If you're currently taking antidepressants or other prescription medications, don't stop or change your treatment based on this discussion alone. Instead, use it as a starting point for an informed conversation with your healthcare provider. Learn More: Dr. Moncrieff recently participated in an FDA Expert Panel on SSRIs and Pregnancy.

Send us Fan MailAaron and Peaches sit down to talk Blue Angels flyovers, testosterone testing, military medicine, height-to-waist standards, and why the military has to get serious about health before people break.The episode starts with the Blue Angels beach flyover debate and whether something can be technically questionable while still being completely awesome. Then the guys get into the bigger conversation around the Department of War pushing testosterone checks for men over 30, why the military medical system has resisted basic hormone testing for years, and how operator syndrome, traumatic brain injuries, cortisol dysfunction, vitamin D deficiency, and low free testosterone can wreck performance and mental health.Aaron talks through his own fight to get blood work done, what the military missed, and why private-sector care finally helped him understand the difference between total testosterone and free testosterone.The conversation also hits height-to-waist standards, fat bodies in uniform, why some people will get flagged unfairly, and why most people need to stop making excuses. The bottom line: fitness is not just about looking good in uniform. It affects mental health, cognitive performance, readiness, durability, and who you become after the military.Check out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comRegister for Operator Training Summit:OperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:00 - Intro, Tasty Gains, and Operator Training Summit03:02 - Blue Angels Flyover Controversy03:39 - Unsafe vs. Inappropriate05:00 - Why Professionals Change the Risk Equation06:59 - Was the Flyover Necessary?08:22 - Pensacola, Nellis, and Airshow Culture09:20 - Testosterone Testing in the Military10:37 - What the Headlines Are Missing11:14 - Operator Syndrome and Low Testosterone12:11 - Fighting the Military Medical System12:55 - Vitamin D Deficiency in the Military14:34 - The Problem With “Normal” Testosterone Ranges16:00 - Trying to Raise Testosterone Naturally17:14 - Total Testosterone vs. Free Testosterone18:08 - TBI, Free Test, and Feeling Broken18:57 - Whoop Blood Work and Better Data19:19 - Breaking Down Institutional Resistance20:12 - Why This Could Lead to Better Screening21:02 - How the Referral System Fails People22:08 - Why Baseline Testing Matters22:34 - Trauma Medicine vs. Clinical Medicine23:55 - Military Medicine, COVID, and Bad Advice26:35 - Readiness Pressure and Medical Liability27:30 - SSRIs, Mental Health, and Missed Questions29:26 - The Military Health System Problem30:33 - Women, Hormones, and HRT30:42 - What to Ask Before Accepting Medication31:29 - Akron Bar Fight Story34:46 - Air Force Height-to-Waist Ratio35:11 - Body Composition Standards Come Back Around36:52 - Old BMI Standards and Fat Boy Programs37:19 - Height and Weight Charts39:41 - Peaches Tests the Calculator41:16 - When the Standard Misses Body Type42:40 - Trent's Monster Habit43:29 - Strategic Energy Drinks43:56 - Ten-Year-Old Crushes the Army PT Test45:30 - Kids, Discipline, and Internet Boundaries47:34 - Coaching Kids Through Hard Things48:25 - Wrestling Coach Motivation50:38 - Height-to-Waist and Job Performance51:40 - Human Performance and Mental Health52:34 - Obesity, COVID, and Comorbidities53:54 - Water, Sunlight, Nutrition, and Fitness55:26 - What People Cut First When Life Gets Busy55:42 - Sleep as a Performance Enhancer56:43 - Why Fitness Improves Mental Health58:26 - Confidence, Attraction, and Looking Better59:45 - Extrinsic Motivation Still Counts01:01:12 - Final Thoughts and Members-Only PreviewSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

In this episode the guys sit down with Nick Hexum, lead singer and co-founder of 311, just hours before a live show. Nick opens up about how the band has stayed together for 35 years, his path to sobriety in 2005-06 and how the band stuck by him through it, bringing weights on the road since 1993 and having a full gym dressing room on every tour, and why exercise was his earliest tool for managing anxiety and depression. He covers the study showing dance and exercise outperform SSRIs for depression by one and a half times, how he syncs his workouts to BPM-specific playlists, working with a vocal coach who saved his career, losing his youngest brother to an overdose and finally writing a song about it, Shaq showing up to their music video during the NBA playoffs with two left shoes and a siren on his SUV, meeting Joe Strummer of The Clash and finding a 311 sticker on his boom box, the Rick Rubin creativity principle of audience coming last, and his new Americana solo project with mandolin and fiddle. He also shares his thoughts on AI in the music industry, how the Grateful Dead touring model saved them from the Napster collapse, and why he surfed ten-foot Santa Cruz waves the day before this interview.

Most of us live in a light-deprived world. We spend less than 15 minutes outside daily—despite thinking we're outdoors for hours—leaving our circadian rhythms dangerously misaligned. In this episode, Dr. Jamie Zeitzer and Lucas Tang of Lumos Glasses break down how light acts as a conductor, orchestrating every system in your body: your sleep, mood, metabolism, and immune function. You'll discover why the contrast between bright days and dark nights matters more than total light exposure, why morning light directly impacts serotonin production and depression risk, and how light therapy works synergistically with SSRIs. Whether you have outdoor access or not, they share practical, evidence-backed tools to reclaim your natural rhythm—from outdoor time to Lumos Glasses, a fashionable light-therapy solution for those who can't get consistent daylight. This episode cuts through outdated light-therapy advice and equips you with science-grounded strategies to transform your health from the inside out.Resources mentioned:• Dr. Jamie Zeitzer (circadian rhythm researcher)• Lucas Tang (Lumos Glasses co-founder)• Lumos Glasses (light-therapy eyewear)• Happy Light (light therapy lamp)• NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey)• US Bureau of Labor Statistics Time Use Survey• OSHA workplace lighting standards• UBC landmark study (light therapy + fluoxetine for depression)• Fluoxetine (SSRI medication)Links mentioned:Circadian Rhythm and Light Therapy Guide here: https://dradamrinde.kit.com/5320da545b Sponsorship Mentioned: Pulsetto: Listen for special code mentioned in the episode https://pulsetto.sjv.io/jed7KMLinks:• Lumos Glasses: https://www.lumosglasses.com• Lumos Glasses on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lumosglasses/• Lumos Glasses on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lumosglasses• Lucas Tang on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucaswencanada• Dr. Jamie Zeitzer on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-zeitzer-7888185/

Dr. Tyler Panzner joins Dr. Mike Hart to explain how genetics, supplement combinations, and individual brain chemistry can influence anxiety, irritability, brain fog, and the persistent "monkey on your back" feeling. They examine why the MTHFR gene is scientifically valid but often overmarketed, and why methylated B vitamins, SAMe, creatine, phosphatidylcholine, and other methylation-related supplements may help some people while overstimulating others. The conversation also explores hidden "adrenaline trappers" such as quercetin, polyphenols, and greens powders; why NAC, glutathione, and high-dose antioxidants may cause unwanted effects; and how lithium orotate, melatonin, nicotine, methylene blue, omega-3s, collagen, mitochondrial enhancers, and DHT-lowering supplements can affect people differently. Dr. Panzner also discusses pharmacogenomics, SSRI response, supplement timing around exercise, the limitations of genetic testing, and the importance of combining DNA data with bloodwork, symptoms, medication history, and baseline nutrient status. Dr. Tyler Panzner is a pharmacology and genetics expert whose work focuses on personalized supplementation, genetic testing, neurotransmitter pathways, and understanding why the same health intervention can affect people very differently. Through DNA analysis, laboratory review, supplement audits, and individualized coaching, he helps clients identify which biological pathways may need support and which commonly recommended supplements may be working against them. His approach challenges one-size-fits-all biohacking and emphasizes using genetics, bloodwork, symptoms, and personal response patterns to make more informed decisions about mental health, performance, and long-term wellness.   Work with Dr. Tyler Panzner!

This is an excerpt from E178 of the Thinking Mind Podcast. In this clip, Alex speaks with neuroscientist and author Dr Dean Burnett about whether depression should really be understood as a disease.They discuss the disease model of mental health, why depression is more complicated than a simple biological fault, and why mental health problems cannot always be treated in the same way as physical illnesses. Dean explains why calling depression a disease can sometimes help people take it seriously, but can also be misleading if it makes us think there is always one clear biological cause and one simple cure.The conversation also explores the relationship between mental health and physical health, the brain-body connection, how stress and depression affect the immune system, and why the line between illness, adaptation and normal human suffering is often blurry.They also discuss antidepressants, SSRIs, how often they help, why they are commonly prescribed, possible side effects, withdrawal effects, and why antidepressants should be understood as one tool among many rather than a perfect solution or something to dismiss entirely.Dr Dean Burnett is the author of The Idiot Brain, The Happy Brain and several other books exploring neuroscience, psychology and the weird ways our brains shape our lives.They discuss why the brain is not the perfect machine we often imagine it to be, why intrusive thoughts don't define who you are, why anxiety and self-sabotage are often normal features of the mind, and why happiness is not something we are designed to feel all the time.Dean also explains what we do and don't know about depression, antidepressants, SSRIs, brain chemistry, neuroplasticity, withdrawal effects, and why mental health is far more complicated than simple slogans like “chemical imbalance” or “just think positive”.Interviewed by Dr. Alex Curmi. Dr. Alex is a consultant psychiatrist and a UKCP registered psychotherapist.Check out The Thinking Mind Blog on Substack: https://thinkingmindblog.substack.com/If you would like to invite Alex to speak at your organisation please email alexcurmitherapy@gmail.com with "Speaking Enquiry" in the subject line.Alex is not currently taking on new psychotherapy clients, if you are interested in working with Alex for focused behaviour change coaching , you can email - alexcurmitherapy@gmail.com with "Coaching" in the subject line.Give feedback here - thinkingmindpodcast@gmail.com Follow us here: Twitter @thinkingmindpod Instagram @thinkingmindpodcast

Millions of women take SSRIs for anxiety and depression and many times no one tells about the sexual side effects, let alone that there's a solution. When it happened to a sex therapist and an OB-GYN themselves, they refused to accept "just add Wellbutrin" as the only answer. Dr. Laurie Mintz and Dr. Suzette Johnson join Dr. Rahman to share the deeply personal stories behind their new venture and why no woman should have to choose between her mental health and her sexual health.What started as a friendship between "sisters from another mother" became a mission after both women personally experienced SSRI-induced orgasm dysfunction and discovered how well a compounded topical cream made with sildenafil and L-arginine worked for them. Now, in partnership with Mojo, they've launched something no one else is offering: the cream plus a short course covering the biological and psychological sides of orgasm dysfunction mindfulness, vibrators, erotica, and the science of why your body responds the way it does.The conversation also dives deep into the orgasm gap: why women orgasm 22–33% less often than men in heterosexual encounters, what the research on bisexual women reveals about whose "fault" that really is (hint: it's not women's bodies), and the brand-new concept of the orgasm pursuit gap why women need to start actively pursuing their own pleasure without pressure.This is midlife reinvention, medical advocacy, and orgasm equality all in one conversation.Highlights:SSRIs are essential medication for many women but sexual side effects like muted or absent orgasm are real, common, and rarely disclosed at the time of prescribing.Most prescribers' only answer is "add Wellbutrin"—few know that a compounded topical cream (sildenafil + L-arginine) can restore blood flow, sensation, and orgasm for many women.New research identifies an orgasm pursuit gap heterosexual women largely don't pursue their own orgasm or expect their partners to.Pursuit is not pressure: women can actively seek the clitoral stimulation they need without turning orgasm into a performance demand.Sexuality does not expirewomen can and should stay sexually active at every age if they want to be.Remember: I'm here to educate so you can advocate for yourself. This podcast is for education, not medical advice please see your own doctor or clinician for your individual care.Please make sure to share this episode with women who would find it helpful. Most of this information is still new to many women and the more it gets shared the more women we are helping!Get in Touch with Dr. Mintz & Dr. Johnson::Dr. Mintz- WebsiteDr. Johnson:Mojo Get in Touch with Dr. Rahman:WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstack

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a series of significant advancements and challenges shaping the landscape of these dynamic sectors. Starting with Ipsen's Dysport, which has made notable strides in its Phase 3 trials for migraine prevention. The trials covered both episodic and chronic conditions, marking a first in the neurotoxin market. Dysport's success positions it as a formidable competitor to AbbVie's Botox, expanding therapeutic options for individuals battling migraine disorders. This achievement showcases the potential efficacy of botulinum toxin-based therapies in neurology and pain management, offering promising new avenues for patient care. In regulatory news, Boehringer Ingelheim has received approval from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for Jascayd, a small molecule PDE4B inhibitor with antifibrotic properties. This approval marks a significant milestone in the treatment of idiopathic and progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Jascayd's addition to the therapeutic arsenal offers new hope for managing this debilitating condition, emphasizing the ongoing efforts to improve patient outcomes through innovative treatments. The arena of business development sees HanChorBio partnering with InxMed to advance oncology research. By combining HCB101 with FAK inhibitors and FAP-targeted ADCs, this collaboration aims to leverage antibody and small molecule drug discovery techniques. The goal is to develop innovative cancer treatments that could redefine therapeutic approaches in oncology. Keenova Therapeutics has also reported success with Xiaflex for plantar fibromatosis. This enzyme injection therapy offers a novel approach by targeting collagen, thus providing an innovative solution for musculoskeletal conditions. Similarly, Fate Therapeutics' FT819, an off-the-shelf CAR-T therapy, has shown early promise in tackling treatment-resistant systemic sclerosis, underscoring the potential of cell therapies beyond oncology. Meanwhile, MindRank's successful Series B funding round of $52 million highlights the growing role of AI platforms in drug discovery. The funding will propel its AI-discovered oral GLP-1 obesity pill into Phase III trials, exemplifying how technology-driven solutions are gaining traction in addressing metabolic diseases like obesity. On the regulatory front, Saol Therapeutics has resubmitted SL1009 (DCA) to the FDA for pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency. This submission underscores ongoing efforts to address rare metabolic disorders using small molecule therapies. Additionally, Sanofi's concessions to the EU regarding flu vaccine marketing illustrate the complexities of competitive dynamics and regulatory scrutiny within the vaccine market. However, not all developments are favorable. AstraZeneca and Ionis Pharmaceuticals faced a setback as their drug Wainua failed its Phase 3 trial for transthyretin-mediated amyloid cardiomyopathy. This outcome highlights the challenges inherent in developing effective treatments for complex cardiovascular conditions. Meanwhile, regulatory processes remain contentious as the FDA pauses its release of complete response letters amid debates over proprietary information disclosures. In another noteworthy development, GSK has terminated its $2.2 billion collaboration with Alector after underwhelming results from Alzheimer's drug trials. This decision highlights both financial implications and strategic shifts as companies reassess risk tolerance in neurodegenerative disease research. Conversely, Roche's success with its KRAS G12C inhibitor divarasib in Phase 3 lung cancer trials underscores the promise of precision medicine. Divarasib outperformed competitors Amgen's Lumakras and Bristol Myers Squibb's Krazati, positioning Roche to potentially redefine standards of care based on genetic profiles. In a move reflecting industry trends towards collaboration and innovation risk-sharing models, AstraZeneca has partnered with Sino Biopharmaceutical on respiratory disease research. This strategic alliance represents a substantial investment aimed at expanding AstraZeneca's pipeline in respiratory therapeutics. Lastly, amidst these developments, psychedelic drugs are experiencing a renaissance in psychiatric care. Companies like Compass Pathways are pioneering clinical validation for their use in treating depression, signaling a potential paradigm shift from traditional SSRIs to newer therapeutic classes pending safety and efficacy data. Overall, these stories illustrate a dynamic interplay of scientific progress and regulatory navigation within the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors. While challenges persist—particularly in neurodegenerative disease treatment—the breakthroughs in oncology and metabolic disorder therapeutics offer hopeful prospects for improving patient care. As these industries continue evolving, integrating advanced technologies such as AI will likely play a pivotal role in shaping future therapeutic landscapes.Support the show

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain the biology and psychology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and describe the neural circuitry behind repetitive "thought-action loops," including why compulsive actions actually strengthen the underlying obsessions rather than relieve them. I discuss the most effective treatments for OCD, including exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy and SSRIs, and explain what the research shows about how these compare when used alone versus together. Finally, I describe a specific clinical protocol in which patients are guided into states of anxiety while learning to suppress compulsive responses, retraining the brain to break the OCD cycle.

Episode 142 – Using Trazodone with SSRIs and TCAs   Can trazodone be safely used in combination with and SSRI or TCA without causing signs of Serotonin Syndrome? This is one of the most frequently asked questions I hear, especially from GP vets.   Have a listen as I chat through my thoughts on this topic and refer back to one of the original studies on trazodone from 2008 where it was used as an augmenting agent for patients already on an SSRI or TCA to further improve signs of fear or anxiety.   I also talk about medication doses, and I mention 2 further papers where dogs and cats ingested their caregivers' anti-depressant medication and only 25% developed clinical signs consistent with SS.   Here are the papers I mention in the episode: Gruen, M.E. and Sherman, B.L., 2008. Use of trazodone as an adjunctive agent in the treatment of canine anxiety disorders: 56 cases (1995–2007). Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 233(12), pp.1902-1907.   Pugh, C.M., Sweeney, J.T., Bloch, C.P., Lee, J.A., Johnson, J.A. and Hovda, L.R., 2013. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) toxicosis in cats: 33 cases (2004–2010).

Send us Fan MailThis week I sat down with my oldest, most annoyingly-always-right friend, Mike Dressel — writer, plant dad, t-shirt auteur, and the reason I've seen approximately 400 things I wouldn't have otherwise seen. (He's almost always right. It's exhausting.) The man also accidentally coined what is objectively the greatest band name of all time, which you'll have to listen to find out — but I promise it involves a cat, a bad hip, and the creeping wave of fascism. So, ya know. Relatable.We go everywhere: the disillusionment-to-essayist pipeline, why Gen X had the best music and also kind of raised itself on caffeine and neglect, what gay culture is finally leaving behind (and what it stubbornly won't), and why Mike is now, definitionally, a rave widow. We talk mental health, SSRIs, the specific shame of listening to Ryan Adams alone in your house, David Lynch on acid, and the mystifying persistence of algorithm pop stars who Mike is convinced are not real people.We also do Bibliomancy, which tells Mike his style evolution will be nothing short of messianic.

Send us Fan MailTeen defiance can be loud, relentless, and personal, especially when oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is in the mix. We pick up our ODD series with a clear focus on adolescence and family dynamics, because the teen years add jet fuel to conflict: independence seeking, emotional intensity, identity formation, and a hair-trigger sensitivity to authority. When a teen already struggles with emotional regulation, normal boundary testing can turn into skipped school, broken curfews, explosive arguments, and daily rule battles that leave everyone exhausted.We dig into one of the biggest misconceptions about oppositional defiant disorder in teens: the idea that the behavior is calculated or purely manipulative. What we often see instead is low frustration tolerance, rapid emotional escalation, and real difficulty calming down once the system is flooded. That doesn't excuse harmful behavior, but it does explain why harsh punishment, yelling, humiliation, public shaming, and inconsistent discipline tend to escalate the cycle. We also talk about how trauma and chronic stressors like bullying, neglect, criticism, and family instability can make a teen feel unsafe or powerless, and why trauma-informed therapy and skill-building matter more than winning a power struggle.You'll hear practical, evidence-based options like Collaborative Problem Solving (Dr. Ross Greene), DBT skills for anger and impulsivity, and why parents need support and coaching too. We also cover medication as a tool, not a cure, including common overlaps like ADHD and when SSRIs or other options may be considered. If you're parenting a teen with ODD, teaching, or trying to understand a young person who seems constantly on edge, this is a grounded roadmap toward calmer boundaries and better connection.

Dr. David Healy, psychiatrist, psychopharmacologist, and author of Pharmageddon, returns to lay out what he argues the drug companies concealed about antidepressants. He says the healthy-volunteer trials showed sexual side effects in close to 90% of people while the marketed figure was under 5%, and he explains why he considers the word "antidepressant" itself a marketing term. Host Mike Vera, MS, NBC-HWC, walks through the trial data, informed consent, and whether the same pattern is now repeating with GLP-1 drugs. This is a discussion of Dr. Healy's research and perspective, shared for educational purposes only, and it is not medical advice.A note before you listen: this conversation covers antidepressants, SSRIs, and mental health, including the subject of suicidal thoughts.

They're designing park benches so that homeless people can't sleep on them and placing metal spikes beneath overpasses so they can't be used as shelter. Jerry Seinfeld says Palestine doesn't exist and that sometimes socks go missing in the dryer, wocka wocka ha ha ha it's funny because it's a witty observation about life's everyday little goofy goofs. Fast food wrappers blow in the wind like the leaves used to do. Duct-taped gargoyles with garbage bag wings peer down at the din of civilization as we march over the sidewalk sleepers to our Jobs, stepping over dead bodies while staring at our phones and counting the minutes til we can go home to our sofas and watch wocka wocka comedians and shovel SSRIs into our faces from large plastic bowls so the crushing beauty of our world and the knowledge of our mortality doesn't topple us like Jenga blocks and make us weep like open fire hydrants. In this din they don't want you to feel. They don't want you to think. They don't want you to hear. They keep it all CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, BUY, BUY, BUY, WORK, WORK, WORK, WOCKA, WOCKA, WOCKA, so that you can't feel your body. So that you can't hear the songs. There's bird song and whale song and heart song and lung song. There's fire song and sea song and wind song and tree song. There's ancestor song and mountain song and sun song and wolf song, and lots of others I bet; I can't hear any of them. Oh, except thought song, which blasts through my head like a sonic homeless deterrent in a shopping center alleyway, and, like them, I have nowhere else to go. ____________ Reading by Caitlin Johnstone.

The pharmaceutical industry has perfected this model: drugs are designed to be taken perpetually rather than cure, side effects create demand for additional drugs, and the entire regulatory apparatus is structured to suppress affordable natural therapies that challenge it SSRIs epitomize this dynamic — massively overprescribed, frequently life-ruining, and nearly impossible to withdraw from — yet for decades, the industry successfully kept all criticism of them out of mainstream discourse Kennedy announced a multiagency federal effort to combat inappropriate SSRI prescribing, train providers in how to correctly taper patients off antidepressants, and provide non-pharmaceutical alternatives This marks the first time in memory a federal health initiative has aimed to help get patients off a major drug class rather than on one

"I struggle with rejection, even when I haven't actually been rejected." At our last Couple's Night, one of the guys put his finger on something that has a name: Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. Check out the blog post here for more details and links.RSD is a wave of emotional pain that lands way out of proportion to whatever actually happened, and the rejection doesn't even have to be real. It is most strongly tied to ADHD, and in a marriage it can quietly do a lot of damage: over time the higher-desire spouse stops initiating, the marriage slowly goes quiet, and neither spouse understands why.In this episode I unpack what RSD actually is, how it shows up between spouses and in the bedroom, five things that genuinely help, and why none of it means you were woven wrong.In this episode:(0:00) Intro(1:13) What Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria actually is(2:00) When the rejection isn't even real(2:41) The ADHD connection(3:16) How RSD shows up in a marriage(4:11) RSD in the bedroom(5:20) What actually helps - 5 steps(7:05) Medication, and why SSRIs miss it(8:29) You're not woven wrong(11:09) Book a free ADHD discovery callScripture referenced: Psalm 139:13, Revelation 13:8, 2 Timothy 1:9, Ephesians 1:4, Titus 1:2, John 14:2-3, 1 Thessalonians 4:17, Revelation 21:3, Luke 23:42-43, Romans 10:9, Romans 10:13, John 3:16, Revelation 3:20, Revelation 22:17.Links mentioned:Married with ADHD - book a free discovery callMarriage CoachingSubscribe to our newsletterFollow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.If you'd like to discuss topics like this with other married Christians, consider joining our private forum.Thank you to all our faithful champions!If you'd like to support our ministry and see it grow, check out our support page for more info.

British-born, LA-based author and illustrator Gemma Correll had a couple of reasons to choose  the motif of an amusement park for her new anxiety book, Anxietyland. One, she loves amusement parks and wanted to be able to write off a Disneyland trip as a research expedition. And also, there are so many great metaphors to be found there like emotional rollercoasters and a worry-go-round. With hilarious candor, Gemma shares her own story about fearing coyotes would eat her pets (there are no coyotes in England), taking endless flights of stairs to avoid elevators, and dealing with alcohol, who becomes a friend but not, ultimately, a good one. Secretary of Health & Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is, to put it mildly, a skeptic of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication, a form of meds that millions of Americans use regularly with tremendous benefit. He was once on SSRIs, went off them, then became addicted to heroin, and he believes these events are linked. He also believes they cause school shootings and cause harm to developing fetuses. There is no evidence to support this. Andrea Salinas, a Democrat who represents the 6th district in Oregon in the House of Representatives, joins us to unpack Kennedy's latest efforts to curtail SSRI use and availability and what her minority party is doing to answer the threat.

If you've tried therapy, medication, journaling, and every mindset tool available — and you're still anxious — this episode is for you. Dr. Russell Kennedy, physician, neuroscientist, and certified trauma therapist, makes the case that anxiety doesn't start in your mind. It starts in your body, as a physiological alarm that's likely been there since childhood. And until you address the alarm directly, you're only ever managing symptoms. Dr. Kennedy explores why perimenopause turns up the volume on anxiety that felt manageable before, why overachievement is just another way of outrunning the alarm, and what you can actually do — today — to start healing from the body up. Fair warning: Dr. Kennedy takes Dr. Stephanie through a live exercise to find her body alarm. There were tears in the production room.

Women and men respond to psychiatric medications differently. In this first of a four-part series, Chris Aiken and Kellie Newsome walk through why valproate is risky for women, and when it's worth using; why the FDA cut the zolpidem dose in half for female patients, and why SSRIs outperform tricyclics in women with depression. Plus: a sneak preview of DSM-6.CME: Take the CME Post-Test for this EpisodePublished On: 06/22/2026Duration: 27 minutes, 32 secondsChris Aiken, MD and Kellie Newsome, PMHNP have disclosed no relevant financial or other interests in any commercial companies pertaining to this educational activity.

Psychiatric meds can feel like a maze when someone is trying to get sober and also sleep, focus, and stop panic spirals all in the same week. We made this updated, practical overview to simplify psychopharmacology for addiction treatment and recovery, using plain language and real clinical decision-making instead of jargon or hype.We start by clearing up a viral rumor and then zoom out to how medications are actually created: research pathways, FDA indications, “me-too” drugs, and why off-label prescribing is so common in psychiatry. From there, we walk through the major medication classes and what they are truly used for, including antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, mirtazapine, bupropion), anxiety and insomnia options that are less risky in recovery, and the basics of antipsychotics and mood stabilisers for severe symptoms like psychosis and bipolar disorder. We also touch on pharmacogenomics testing such as GeneSight and why individual response can still require careful trial and adjustment.Because addiction medicine demands extra caution, we spend real time on benzodiazepine risks, why Z-drugs like Ambien can be problematic, and what we reach for instead when someone needs immediate anxiety relief while antidepressants take weeks to work. We wrap with a clinical case that shows how we prioritise conditions, pick meds that can treat more than one target, and avoid starting too many at once.If this helps you, subscribe, share it with a colleague, and leave a rating or review so more people can find the show.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

Ketamine Therapy, MDMA, Psilocybin, and the Science of Psychedelic Assisted Healing Most people struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma have never felt safe in their nervous system, and the treatments they have been prescribed are making that worse. This episode breaks down the neuroscience of psychedelic therapy, why ketamine is the safest and most accessible starting point, how MDMA triggers a BDNF dependent pathway that repairs trauma all the way down to the epigenetic code, and why your antidepressant may be blocking the very brain states required for real healing. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Order Dr. Rabin's Book ‘A Simple Guide to Being Alive': https://apolloneuro.com/pages/a-simple-guide-to-being-alive Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Dave Rabin, MD, PhD, a senior research scientist at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, Executive Director of The Board of Medicine, and co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Apollo Neuroscience. Dr. Rabin received his MD and PhD in neuroscience from Albany Medical College and specialized in psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He has spent 20 years studying chronic stress and non-invasive therapies for treatment-resistant illness, and his primary research on MDMA assisted therapy for severe PTSD has demonstrated that trauma can be reversed at the epigenetic level, offering a genuine path to a cure. His upcoming book A Simple Guide to Being Alive publishes June 1, 2026 and is a science-backed manual for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the modern world. Dave and Dr. Rabin break down why nearly 50% of people prescribed psychiatric medication never achieve remission, why SSRIs and SNRIs physically block the brain states required for emotional healing, and why the FDA rejected MDMA therapy after three trials showed an 88% response rate. They dig into the exact BDNF pathway that makes MDMA and ketamine so transformative, how psychedelics amplify safety learning in the amygdala at the molecular level, and why trauma passes down up to 14 generations through epigenetic code that can now be measured and repaired. They also cover why your breathing rate at the doctor's office is already a stress signal nobody is reading, how your smartphone puts your nervous system into a chronic fear state before you even get out of bed, and why ketamine is the right starting point for anyone curious about psychedelic therapy right now. You'll Learn: Why nearly 50% of psychiatric patients never get better and what treatment-resistant actually means How ketamine therapy works, why it is legal in every state, and why it is the safest place to start The exact BDNF pathway through which MDMA repairs fear extinction in the amygdala How MDMA assisted therapy produces measurable epigenetic repair of the cortisol receptor gene damaged by trauma Why SSRIs and SNRIs block the insula mediated brain states required for real emotional healing Why combining serotonergic psychedelics with SSRIs puts you at risk of life-threatening serotonin syndrome Why trauma passes down up to 14 generations and what you can do to stop the cycle now Why smartphones put your nervous system into a toxic overstimulation state before the day even starts How the FDA rejected MDMA therapy after 88% of patients responded and who paid to make that happen Thank you to our sponsors! - Qualia | If you want to take the guesswork out of maintaining high NAD+ levels as you age, go to www.qualialife.com/daveNAD to get clinically proven Qualia NAD+ backed by a 100 day money back guarantee and code DAVENAD at checkout gets you an extra 15% off. - iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE - OneSkin | For a limited time, try OneSkin with 15% off at oneskin.co/DAVE. - LMNT | Right now you can get a free 8-count Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular drink mix flavors with any purchase at drinkLMNT.com/dave Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Secretary of Health & Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is, to put it mildly, a skeptic of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication, a form of meds that millions of Americans use regularly with tremendous benefit. He was once on SSRIs, went off them, then became addicted to heroin, and he believes these events are linked. He also believes they cause school shootings and cause harm to developing fetuses. There is no evidence to support this. Andrea Salinas, a Democrat who represents the 6th district in Oregon in the House of Representatives, joins us to unpack Kennedy's latest efforts to curtail SSRI use and availability and what her minority party is doing to answer the threat. Then we're joined by journalist Jason Gale, author of the book After Covid: The Health Impacts That Will Last Generations, for an update on the long-term mental health effects of the pandemic's trauma and of long covid.

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.

Welcome to Schauer Thoughts, this week we'll be dissecting the “MAHA Report” as well as it's strategy and “MAHA ELEVATE” proposal. Please know that there will be several more parts to this series so if there's anything you think I didn't get to or is worth emphasizing, I will absolutely be doing follow-ups and want you to hang tight - I very much hear and mirror your concern. Researching this episode has been heartbreaking like none other and I just appreciate you all taking the time to listen. Please review the sources below for all information, it is of the utmost importance right now that we all stay informed. Download Hily Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit ⁠https://hily.go.link/jRMKW I do also plan on searching for actionable items and ways to recognize front groups, but I do need some time to collect and format that information. Please know that hope is never lost.  Nuance: I do apologize for my poor pronunciation of some medical conditions and other words, I am someone who loves to research outside of a school context so I don't get to hear most of these words spoken out loud by others. I foresee some red-hat-supporters running with this point for “evidence” of me being unintelligent and I'm covering my bases for when that eventually happens. My main reason for pointing this out is not to prevent people making fun of my pronunciation but more of a demonstration on how predictable some people are. Reminder: I love answering questions, if you have an assumption on any of my political stances, please just ask. *Spoiler* I am not a fan of the United States military and have very strong, informed opinions. Edit for 31:50 - I accidentally referred to RFK Jr. as “JFK” - this was a mistake lol.

The social engineers have done a wonderful job of turning women against men in modern Western society. In women under 25, only one-third had a positive opinion of men. The statistics weren't much better for high-wage-earning women, as only 36% viewed men favorably.Eugenics takes various forms and fashions, including driving a social wedge between the sexes as a means of slowing population growth. Big Pharma has contributed to the division by warping the minds of women with SSRIs, birth control pills, and vaccines. Is it past the point of no return?

Mirtazapine is a unique antidepressant often chosen when depression occurs alongside insomnia or poor appetite. Its antihistamine activity makes it sedating, particularly at lower doses, and it commonly increases appetite and weight. Unlike many SSRIs, mirtazapine has a lower risk of sexual dysfunction and gastrointestinal side effects because it blocks 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors. It is frequently dosed at bedtime and can be especially useful in older adults or medically ill patients who need both mood improvement and help with sleep or weight gain. Bupropion is an activating antidepressant that works by increasing norepinephrine and dopamine activity rather than serotonin. It is often preferred in patients with fatigue, low motivation, hypersomnia, or concerns about sexual dysfunction and weight gain. Bupropion is also approved for smoking cessation. Common adverse effects include insomnia, anxiety, dry mouth, and headache. A major clinical pearl is its dose-related seizure risk, making it contraindicated in patients with seizure disorders or eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia.

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!

 Women were left out of medical, nutrition, and exercise research for 16 years. They studied men, and then they told women we would get the same results by following the general health guidelines. In this episode, you're going to learn what the research actually says when women are the subjects. You're going to learn an easy shift to work with your hormones to get the sleep that you need, how to help your body effortlessly lose weight, what actually makes you happier and calmer, and what will help you live longer.  I'm joined by Dr. Stacy Sims who has her PhD in exercise physiology with a focus on nutrition and sex differences. She spent years in her postdoc at Stanford studying how different interventions impact men and women differently. She has devoted her life to figuring out the real science of women's health, and today she is sharing her exact playbook with you.

You guys sent in some amazing questions for this Fan Mail Friday with Drs. Mark and Michelle Sherwood. We talked about everything from hormones, eczema, endometriosis, and peptides to gut health, sciatica, anxiety, and the growing concern over long-term SSRI use.This episode is really about getting to the root cause instead of just masking symptoms. If you've been struggling to find answers, feeling dismissed, or wondering if there's a better path forward for your health, I think this conversation is going to encourage you.Shop MyFreedomCart for trusted, American-made products that support your values.http://myfreedomcart.com/heidiShow mentions: http://heidistjohn.com/mentionsWebsite | http://heidistjohn.comSupport the show! | http://donorbox.org/donation-827Rumble | rumble.com/user/HeidiStJohnYoutube |    / @‌heidistjohnpodcast  Instagram | @‌heidistjohnFacebook | Heidi St. JohnX | @‌heidistjohnFaith That Speaks Online CommunitySubmit your questions for Fan Mail Friday | http://heidistjohn.com/fanmailfriday
