Serving in the U.S. military is a challenge for anyone – but it can be especially tough when you're dealing with mental health conditions.  Public speaker and mental health advocate Rudy Caseres, who was serving in the Army during his first experience with catatonic schizophrenia, understands this firsthand.  In today's episode, I sat down with Rudy to discuss his experience with mental health in the military, being discharged from the Army, and what he learned from his time in psych wards. Rudy also talks about the difficulties of being formally diagnosed, and the conflicting feelings his diagnoses brought.  “When you're going through this stuff, you have no fucking idea what's going on with you. And then you're just entrusting your life to these strangers that you never met. It takes a lot to take that leap of faith to be like, okay. And when I heard my diagnosis though, I was like, you know what, thank God. Because that at least gives me some kind of explanation of why this is happening to me. But my thing was ‘All right, diagnosis. That's great. What the fuck am I supposed to do now?'” – Rudy Rudy also shares how his difficult journey eventually led to his “aha moment,” which helped him find his niche as a public speaker. “It kinda wakes me up to like, realize like, ‘Hey, you don't have to let the universe, like, just have its way with you. Like, you don't have to completely just be sucked into the depression and let the depression win. … You can actually turn a negative into a positive and make the most of it. You're not a freak. You're not a mutant. You're just built differently. And we need people like you and you can still contribute a lot to this world. Not just in spite of it, because of it.” – Rudy In This Episode (01:43) When Rudy first noticed he might have mental health concerns (03:29) What drew Rudy to public speaking (15:56) Rudy's first catatonic episodes during his time in the Army (20:23) Being considered “mentally ill” in the military (27:13) Coming home after being discharged from the Army and leaving the psych ward (30:00) Rudy's first experiences with catatonic schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (38:59) The “aha moment” of finally being diagnosed (41:11) Harnessing bipolar energy (53:28) What Rudy's manic episodes feel like, and his second time in a psych ward (59:41) How Rudy began his public speaking career (1:12:48) Rudy's next steps   Our Guest Rudy Caseres is an award-winning public speaker, live-streamer and social media influencer who has given over 100 presentations across the country sharing his story of surviving a mental breakdown while in the U.S. Army and living with bipolar disorder.  He is the host of “No Restraints with Rudy Caseres,” which features live, candid discussions with mental health, human rights and suicide prevention activists, and hosts a monthly panel on mental health for The Mighty.  Rudy has been featured in This is My Brave, HealthyPlace, The S Word, OC87 Recovery Diaries, Sweatpants & Coffee, Stigma Fighters, and Schizophrenic NYC, and was named one of The Mighty's Mental Health Heroes of 2017.   Resources & Links Off The Cuff https://www.offthecuff.fm/ https://www.youtube.com/c/OffTheCuffwithDannyLoPriore https://www.instagram.com/1and1otc/ https://www.instagram.com/dannylopriore/ Rudy Caseres https://www.rudycaseres.com/ http://facebook.com/rudycaseres http://instagram.com/rudycaseres http://twitter.com/rudycaseres Mentioned https://www.nami.org/Home

On this episode of Hope Discovered we are talking about School Based Mental Health with Drew Prendergast, who is a School-Based Prevention & CPST Provider for CommQuest Services. The theme of this discussion is “Backing this Generation,” which is often maligned as entitled and fragile. The conversation covers topics such as the unique challenges this young generation is facing, the unfair labels that have been placed upon it, and the good qualities and attributes that we should be fostering in today's up and coming youth.

Dr. Margaret has been a psychologist in private practice for over twenty-five years. She began writing online in 2012 and was just narcissistic enough to believe that she might have something fresh or funny to say about she has learned. She has begun a podcast called The SelfWork Podcast with Dr. Margaret Rutherford. Her new book, entitled Perfectly Hidden Depression: How to Break Free from the Perfectionism that Masks Your Depression, was launched in November of 2019. She has been researching and writing on this topic for five years, and she's passionate about the message that although depression can be heavily masked by perfectionism, its damage can still be devastating to someone who's trying so hard to smile their way through growing loneliness and despair. I've written for HuffPost, Psychology Today, The Mighty, Psych Central, The Gottman Blog, Psychologies, StigmaFighters, The Good Men Project. Please enjoy!

A close friend lost her husband tragically and suddenly, but she was back in the office just two weeks later. She shed a few tears that first month, but mostly, it was Beth as usual. She didn't fall behind on any projects or ask for help. “Beth is so strong. I think she can handle just about anything,” they said. Except they were wrong, and so was I. Beth was mourning privately for months, and then deeply depressed for years following the accident. She'd kept it hidden. Hidden depression is not just common, it's applauded; and I'm as guilty of this as anyone. On this week's podcast, you'll meet a clinical psychologist whose recent work focuses on this growing mental health problem hidden from plain sight. Listen & Learn How the “smile or die” positive attitude leads many of use to push down and cover up deep pain and emotions  The difference between classic, clinical depression and the hidden type  The personal and societal fallout that come from wearing an emotional mask for years or even a lifetime How the opposite of depression is engagement or connection - no happiness  Links & Resources Perfectly Hidden Depression Book Site Dr. Rutherford's Site Smile or Die ABOUT OUR GUEST Margaret is a clinical psychologist with over 27 years experience.

Check out episode 518 of "Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do" as Thom Singer interviews Dr. Margaret Rutherford, the author of "Perfectly Hidden Depression".    Dr. Margaret Rutherford has been a psychologist in private practice for over twenty-five years. She began writing online in 2012, and was just narcissistic enough to believe that she might have something fresh or funny to say about what she'd learned.   Since that time, she has launched three different versions of her website. She begun a podcast called SelfWork with Dr. Margaret Rutherford. She created monthly FaceBook Lives for The Mighty. And now she is excited to announce that her book, entitled "Perfectly Hidden Depression: How to Break Free from the Perfectionism that Masks Your Depression", was released in November of 2019.   Dr. Margaret Rutherford been researching and writing on this topic of hidden depression for five years, and she is passionate about the message that although depression can be heavily masked by perfectionism, it’s damage can still be devastating to that someone who’s trying so hard to smile their way through growing loneliness and despair.Along the way, she met many authors, researchers, bloggers, and psychologists. She  has written for HuffPost, The Mighty, Psych Central, The Gottman Blog, Psychologies, StigmaFighters, The Good Men Project, This Is My Brave, and others as she has spread a passionate message about becoming more comfortable with vulnerability in every day life, and confronting the prejudice against not only mental illness itself, but its treatment.   In this episode of Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do, Margaret Rutherford tells here story of starting her career as singer, and her transition to helping people with their mental health issues (I am sure as a singer she had the same impact for many!). The interview will explore the mental health issues for entrepreneurs, and others.    Thom was excited to interview her, as they met online four years ago when he was dealing with some issues and ran across some of her online articles.  She was writing "Perfectly Hidden Depression" at the time they met, and her concepts for the book resonated with him and helped him see his own areas to work on in his life.   https://thomsinger.com/perfectly-hidden-depression

Did you know that mental health stigma is highly associated with a lack of engagement in mental health services?  And with 1 in 5 adult Americans experiencing mental illness each year (and only 43% getting treatment), we need to stomp out stigma. In our latest episode, hosts Rachel and Jor-El talk all about it. They each offer up some everyday examples of how we all may unintentionally contribute to mental health stigma. Our hosts also talk about the role of influencers and how they can be much more helpful in fighting stigma by documenting their stories rather than trying to educate the masses as faux experts.

Postpartum depression is a rabbit hole many women face. In fact, 600,000 women in the US will suffer from PPD. It's not just the women we need to worry about. It's the children, thousands of them, who are at risk. PPD affects children’s development and puts them at a higher risk of future psychiatric illness.  In fact, maternal depression during infancy has a bigger impact on a child’s development than later exposure to maternal mental illness (Essex 2001, Moehler 2006, postpartumprogress, 2016).
