In this powerful episode of LaidOPEN Podcast, I sit down with medical researcher, writer, and host of Modern Hysteria, Micah Larsen, to dive deep into her deeply personal and courageous journey through PMDD, menopause, and preeclampsia. With warmth and unflinching honesty, Micah illuminates the painful gaps in our healthcare system and the persistence of medical misogyny—and, more importantly, how we can begin to dismantle those barriers. We explore: The courage it takes to speak openly about taboo topics like incontinence, childbirth, postpartum challenges, and menopause. How narrative and advocacy are essential tools for transforming women's healthcare. Micah's Montana farm: a place of solace, healing, and self-acceptance that has helped her reclaim her body and spirit amid the storms. This episode is equal parts urgent call to action and celebration of resilience—a reminder that better women's healthcare starts with brave conversations and compassionate communities. Note: This episode includes discussions of very heavy themes, including suicide. If you're feeling fragile, you might choose to listen in gentle doses, on a different day, or skip it altogether. But know this: this is an inspiring conversation—and I hope it helps ignite a true women's medical rights movement.

In Part 2 of Nichole Henson's powerful story, we find out what happened after the abuse. Because freedom isn't always instant—and healing? It's a battlefield. Nichole opens up about her journey as a licensed therapist, all while secretly spiraling. Self-harm. Rage. Hearing voices that hated her husband, her child, her parents—and God. For years, she believed those voices were just a broken part of her. But the truth? It was deeper than mental illness. It was demonic. She couldn't get her thoughts under control because they weren't hers. She had unknowingly partnered with torment—and deliverance was the only way out. Sis, this is not just another “look what God did” story. It's raw. It's intense. And it's a wake-up call for every woman battling silently behind a smile. If you've ever felt like your mind was at war, like your faith and your feelings were pulling you in opposite directions, or like freedom was for everyone but you—this episode is your reminder that God isn't finished with you yet.

What happens when you hit all the milestones society tells you to chase, yet still feel empty inside? For Jeremy George, that existential crisis led to a year-long battle with suicidal thoughts despite having a beautiful New York apartment, career success, and financial stability.Everything changed when three consecutive wake-up calls shattered Jeremy's perception of what makes a meaningful life. His mother's near-death experience during a routine surgery, the global pandemic's stark reminder of life's fragility, and unexpectedly losing his job created the perfect storm that forced Jeremy to confront a powerful question: If so much in life is beyond our control, why not intentionally pursue what truly matters?His answer was bold – attempt 52 bucket list items in 52 weeks. But Jeremy's adventure wasn't about adrenaline stunts or Instagram-worthy moments (though he did bike 650 miles down the California coast and go cliff jumping in Hawaii). The true transformation came through his one fundamental rule: recruit at least one person to help with each goal. This simple principle revealed something profound – our most meaningful experiences come through connection, not achievement.Jeremy completed 32 of his 52 goals – what he calls a "D-minus" by academic standards. Yet this "failure" became one of his most valuable lessons. Whether getting rejected from reality TV shows or losing miserably while trying to multiply money in Las Vegas, he discovered life's richness comes from attempting what matters, not necessarily succeeding.This revelation inspired Jeremy to create Bucket Match, a platform connecting people based on shared bucket list goals, making dreams more achievable through community. After all, sharing your goals with others makes you nearly 78% more likely to achieve them than keeping them to yourself.Ready to rediscover what truly matters to you?

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.Beneath the pristine white coats and confident demeanors of hospital physicians lies a growing mental health crisis that threatens not only the wellbeing of doctors but potentially the care we all receive. Drawing from alarming 2024 survey data showing that 6 in 10 physicians experience burnout and over half know colleagues who have contemplated suicide, this episode exposes the dangerous reality of physician mental health in hospital settings.When physicians reach their breaking point and seek support, many hospital employers respond not with compassion but with discrimination. Through examination of real cases, including physicians being told to "take your baggage elsewhere" or facing termination after requesting accommodations, we uncover a disturbing pattern of hospitals prioritizing profit over the mental wellbeing of their most valuable assets.The episode delves into the powerful stigma that prevents physicians from seeking help - with nearly 8 in 10 acknowledging this barrier exists within medicine. We explore how the relentless demands of 24-hour shifts, sleep deprivation, and emotional exhaustion create perfect conditions for mental health deterioration, while fear of professional consequences keeps doctors suffering in silence.Beyond identifying the problem, we discuss practical solutions for hospitals and physicians alike, emphasizing the legal protections available under the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar state laws. The message becomes clear: physicians are employees with rights, deserving of reasonable accommodations and compassionate support.This conversation matters not just for healthcare professionals but for every patient who expects quality care. After all, wouldn't you want to know that the physician treating you is working in an environment that supports their mental health rather than pushing them to the brink?

What is masking? Masking is when someone hides or suppresses their true emotions, behaviors, or traits—usually to fit in socially, avoid judgment, or feel safer in a particular environment. It's especially common among people with neurodivergent experiences (like autism, ADHD, or anxiety), but anyone can do it and those of us with BPD certainly do. This episode was accidental and came organically through conversation so we just hit record. Please note that at the beginning we talk heavily about suicidal ideation. We're safe. We hope you are.

Hannah Diviney is one of the most powerful people in pop culture. At just 25 years old, the author, advocate, and actor hasn’t just called out Lizzo for using an ableist slur—she also took on Queen B herself. And she succeeded on both fronts. Which, once you get to know her, isn’t surprising at all. In our Vulnerabilitea House, Hannah reflects on the questions: “How do you see yourself? Is it the same way your loved ones see you?” Answering with incredible vulnerability, Hannah shares how her relationship with her disability has evolved over time and what it was like growing up in a world where the Paralympics seemed like the only visible marker of success. We talk to Hannah about being a part of intimate television history, and Ryan, the love doctor, Shelton manifests a Brad (or Stewie, or Chris, or Michael-Angelo) in her future.

EP-119 Scientific Approach Needed - Gender-Affirming Care Highlighting the UK's NHS Cass Review on gender-affirming care with a focus on the often cited “suicide ideation” propaganda in Washington State politics. Beginning in 2020 the National Health Service (NHS) in England commissioned a comprehensive multi-year review of gender-affirming care for children and adolescents. The scientific review, published in 2024, was a complete rebuke of the prevailing approach to gender-affirming care in the UK. As a result of the review, the UK medical establishment and policy makers changed their approach to treatment for gender dysphoria in youth. Despite the updated science, activists and policymakers in Washington State continue to use emotional propaganda and pseudoscience to guide their campaigns and legislation. The science has been reviewed. We must change our ways. “She blinded me with science!” - Thomas Dolby ‧ 1982 Information war “Save the children” has been a manipulative political ploy for decades. Both major political parties have used it as a vehicle for inserting ideology into policy. It may seem trite from an experienced lens of political analysis, but the effectiveness proves its longevity as a tactic. There is a pernicious use of junk science fueling political propaganda regarding “youth gender care” in our society. The “save the children” slogan has been tied into a gordian knot of misinformation. The claims of science are used to tighten this twisted knot weaving through our community. It's often hard to know who to trust when information outlets contradict each other with claims of factual science: “Not that science, this science. Not this science, that science.” How do parents and community members inform themselves when the information space is littered with manipulation and a constant barrage of conflicting data sets? How are they to participate when each extreme faction emotionally invokes the language of “save the children” at every turn? In the end, the very object of manipulation must be the guiding light forging a path forward to truth and reason - science. Pseudoscience, popularized through political propaganda, states that youth gender-affirming care is necessary to combat teen suicide rates. This basic emotional plea invokes the time-honored manipulation of the “save the children” mantra. But the NHS Review debunked the pseudoscience; and it presented a peer-reviewed scientific assessment of youth gender-affirming care and the holistic issue of gender dysphoria. National Health Service Commissioned Cass Review The Cass Review was an independent review of the UK's NHS gender identity services for children and young people. The scientific endeavor culminated with a lengthy 388-page review led by Dr Hilary Cass. The mission for the Cass Review as stated in the document: “The Review was commissioned by NHS England to make recommendations on how to improve NHS gender identity services, and ensure that children and young people who are questioning their gender identity or experiencing gender dysphoria receive a high standard of care, that meets their needs, is safe, holistic and effective.” Trust the Science! Advocates for gender-affirming care often cite research to support their stance that such interventions, including puberty blockers and hormone treatments, are crucial in reducing suicide risk among transgender youth. The often-quoted study is titled “Pubertal Suppression for Transgender Youth and Risk of Suicidal Ideation.” This study suggested that transgender and gender non-conforming youth who received puberty blockers exhibited lower rates of suicidal ideation compared to those who did not. However, the Cass Review highlights a significant methodological flaw in the study: The study did not adequately account for the underlying mental health conditions of the participants. This oversight could lead to a false correlation between the treatment and reduced suicide ideation. Other factors or concurrent treatments might be affecting the outcomes. The Cass Review notes that many studies, including this one, fail to control for these psychiatric comorbidities, which are known to influence suicide risk independently of gender dysphoria. The Cass Review delves into the actual data concerning suicide risks among transgender youth, offering a more nuanced perspective. It points out that while there is a narrative suggesting an elevated suicide risk specifically due to gender dysphoria, the evidence does not support such a direct causation. Instead, the review finds that: "Suicide risk appears to be comparable to other young people with a similar range of mental health and psychosocial challenges." (page 186). This suggests that the increased risk of suicide in transgender youth might be more aligned with the general profile of mental health issues rather than solely due to gender dysphoria. The review underscores that studies reporting reduced suicidality with gender-affirming treatments often had significant methodological limitations, such as small sample sizes, lack of long-term follow-up, and absence of controls for concurrent mental health treatments. Quality of Evidence: The review found that only 2% of the studies examined were of high quality, with the majority suffering from issues like selection bias, lack of control groups, and inadequate statistical analysis. This has led to an overemphasis on potentially misleading results. Longitudinal Data: There's a stark absence of long-term follow-up data for those who have undergone gender-affirming treatments. This lack of data makes it impossible to assess the actual impact on mental health outcomes and suicide risk associated with gender-affirming medical treatments. Psychosocial Interventions: The review notes that while there's a focus on medical interventions like puberty blockers, psychosocial interventions, which have a robust evidence base for treating mental health in general adolescent populations, are often overlooked or underutilized in this cohort. Scientific Recommendations Given the findings, the Cass Review offers several recommendations to address the care of transgender youth more holistically and scientifically: Evidence-Based Approach: There is a call for more robust, long-term studies that can accurately assess the benefits and risks of all types of interventions for gender dysphoria, including but not limited to medical treatments. Comprehensive Care: The review recommends a shift towards a model of care that includes broader mental health support, acknowledging that gender dysphoria often coexists with other mental health issues that require attention. Research and Monitoring: Establishing a research program to monitor outcomes of transgender care, ensuring that interventions are based on high-quality evidence rather than anecdotal or poorly supported claims. Professional Training: Enhancing the skills of professionals in this field to deal with the complexity of gender dysphoria within the context of adolescence and mental health. Science Wins Last year, the NHS in England did a complete about-face regarding gender-affirming care and the way children and adolescents are treated for gender dysphoria. The Cass Review discovered that established policies and guidelines were developed from pseudoscience that created fear bias based on child suicide ideation and ignored fundamental underlying factors associated with gender confusion. By debunking flawed research and highlighting the lack of high-quality evidence, the Cass Review challenges the narrative that has driven much of the policy and public discourse on transgender youth care. However, Washington State policymakers remain in a blindfolded bubble of ignorance regarding the science associated with gender dysphoria. While the Cass Review suggests a scientific, evidence-based approach, urging caution against rushing to medical interventions without considering the full spectrum of an individual's mental health needs, Washington State political leaders have rushed to protect a mill of treatments and policies steeped in misinformation. The scientific recommendations by the Cass Review not only promise better outcomes for transgender youth, but also align with ethical medical practices that prioritize long-term well-being over short-term relief or ideological pressures. The UK has changed direction as a result of the scientific Cass Review. Washington State Democrat policymakers must adhere to their sloganeering to “trust the science.” A clear-eyed reassessment of the basic care for children and adolescents afflicted with gender dysphoria must be undertaken. Yes. This all must occur in Washington State to …. “Save the Children.” Outro Music Credit - Boomcrickets 2001 - Vancouver Washington

How effective is exercise for treating depression, and how can we help more people use it as a cornerstone of treatment? The last decade we have seen mounting evidence that exercise can play a big role in mental health through a variety of mechanisms. In this interview, Dr. Nick Fabiano, a psychiatry resident and researcher, shares his innovative approach to using exercise as a therapeutic intervention, drawing from his recent co-authored paper. In this interview you'll learn: Why exercise is comparable to antidepressants and therapy in treating mild to moderate depression. How a holistic, lifestyle-based approach can complement traditional treatments. The mechanisms linking exercise to improved mental health, including metabolic health benefits and social interaction. How to personalize exercise prescriptions for individuals based on their physical and mental health needs. Challenges of integrating exercise into psychiatric care Movement is a core pillar of our THINK + SMART program, embodying the 'M' in the acronym. Exercise not only has the remarkable ability to provide an immediate boost to mood and mental clarity but also fosters long-term adaptations that support both metabolic and mental health. As the field of metabolic psychiatry continues to grow, we are optimistic that exercise will become a foundational component in the standard of care for mental health treatment.

My guest for today's show is likely no stranger to you. He's been on the podcast before, we've co-hosted special live events focused on the mental health crisis among neurodivergent kids, and he's a key figure in the differently wired revolution. Through his speaking engagements, work as a therapist for kids and adults, and his own lived experience as a neurodivergent individual, he's a powerful advocate for understanding and supporting neurodivergent students. Yes, I'm talking about Dr. Matt Zakreski. Today, I'm thrilled to have him back to dive into his brand-new book, Neurodiversity Playbook: How Neurodivergent People Can Crack the Code of Living in a Neurotypical World. Full disclosure: I wrote the foreword for this book, and I was honored to do so because it's such a valuable resource for so many people. In the foreword, and what I'll share with you now, is that Matt's book encourages readers to embrace the full neurodivergent experience, offering deep understanding, validation, and a wealth of practical ideas to help “crack the code” and design a life on their own terms. Neurodiversity Playbook feels like a warm “welcome to the Club” for neurodivergent individuals and those who love and support them. In this conversation, while we couldn't cover everything in the book, we touched on some of the big concepts, including why grounding discussions in neuroscience is key to understanding neurodivergence, how to navigate tricky everyday situations like making small talk, and how awareness of neurodiversity has evolved over the years. We also explored code-switching as an empowering tool and how to do it with intention and choice. About Dr. Matt Zakresk Matthew “Dr. Matt” Zakreski, PsyD is a high energy, creative clinical psychologist and professional speaker who utilizes an eclectic approach to meet the specific needs of his neurodivergent clients. He is proud to serve the Gifted community as a consultant, a professor, an author, and a researcher. He has spoken hundreds of times all over the world about supporting neurodivergent kids. He is the co-founder of The Neurodiversity Collective and the author of the The Neurodiversity Playbook: How Neurodivergent People Can Crack the Code of Living in a Neurotypical World. Things you'll learn from this episode How Dr. Matt's personal journey informs his professional work and shapes his approach to neurodiversity. How neurodiversity awareness has significantly evolved over the years and there is significant progress in understanding. How grounding discussions in neuroscience is crucial for understanding neurodivergence. How the Neurodiversity Playbook aims to be a practical guide to help neurodivergent humans navigate a neurotypical world. How code-switching can be a useful tool for neurodivergent individuals and enhance their ability to adapt.

Singer/songwriter Bishop Briggs lost her sister, her best friend, her roommate, and her manager all on one day in January 2021. They were all the same person. After Kate's death, swiftly following her diagnosis of ovarian cancer, Bishop plunged into a dark place, not eating, not really engaging with the world, and being increasingly haunted by thoughts of suicide. Ultimately, she found a path toward a better place with the assistance of a shockingly blunt pronouncement by her partner, the birth of her baby, and an openness to medication.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.
