I am excited about this episode because I have a special treat for you today! One of my best friends in the whole world is joining us on the podcast. She's actually visiting me this week and we're having the most amazing time together with a lot of outdoors activity. Dr. Rosanne Mills and I first met in med school in Calgary and then both did residency in Toronto. After that I went into emergency medicine while she pursued psychiatry but we have remained as close as ever. Rosanne and I have a conversation about the realities of anxiety and depression and how to help our mental health. We address the question of what anxiety and depression actually look like and how to tell the type that needs treatment apart from times that are really just part of being a human being.I want to say, first of all, that though Dr. Rose and I are both physicians, we are not giving out personal health advice in this episode. This is information shared for educational purposes only. If you feel you have any of the symptoms we talk about, please see your physician, visit an emergency department, or call your local Healthline. Rosanne defines depression according to the DSM, the Diagnostic Statistical Manual, and we talk about how a significant depressive episode can cause dysfunction in our lives in some way. We also discuss how anxiety is normal and healthy until it starts dragging at daily life and prevents us from visting people, making phone calls, and the like. Dr. Rose offers a lot of insight into how depression and anxiety both manifest, when they are emergency issues, and explains different kinds of medication available. She also discusses medication side effects and modalites outside of medication that can help mitigate depression. This episode is a clear and informative look at how depression and anxiety manifest and operate. It's full of information and insight that will hopefully answer some questions and, most importantly, remind us that most people with anxiety and depression do feel better when we get appropriate treatment.About Dr. Rosanne MillsDr Rosanne Mills is a Psychiatrist in Toronto, Ontario.

Dr. Michael Johnson is no stranger to alien and UFO-related experiences. However, this is the first time that he’s going public in such a manner as now, and we are honoured to be one of the first ones to have interviewed him in this capacity. Dr. Johnson is a retired Harvard Medical School psychiatrist and professor, having received his BA from Earlham College in Richmond Indiana, and MD from Indiana University School of Medicine. Following his medical residency in psychiatry, Dr. Johnson served as a “Lieutenant Commander” and “Staff Psychiatrist” at a US Naval Hospital, subsequently moving to Boston to become the “Psychiatrist-in-Chief” at the Massachusetts Osteopathic Hospital, before eventually taking the position as Staff Psychiatrist at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates in Cambridge. Dr. Johnson’s first contact with abduction experiences was just after a fellow renowned Harvard physician, Dr. John Mack, referred one of his abductee patients to him. After hearing of the abductee’s experiences, Dr. Johnson continued to research the phenomena and has gathered an incredible amount of material. From ever-advancing neuroimaging technology, to increased professional interest from across the world, Dr. Johnson has been at the forefront of the medical investigations of abduction. During this interview, we begin by exploring Dr. Johnson’s experiences from the beginning. When did he first come across the Alien Abduction Phenomenon? What makes a case particularly believable or compelling? How much is “real,” and how much is merely a psychological anomaly? Furthermore, how has the abduction experience evolved over time? We then explore how certain experiences might have geographical correlations. Furthermore, what about the involvement of psychedelics? Is what we see under certain influences “real” or “all in our heads”? How have ancient civilisations interacted with psychedelics in the past? Could certain substances facilitate our communication with “other-worldly” entities? Also, what about the treatment of mental disorders? Could this type of research help with general psychiatric experiences? What is the exact relationship between substance-induced psychedelic experiences, and involuntary experiences? What does ayahuasca and DMT teach us about these topics?
