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.

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

In this raw and vulnerable episode, Kori Leigh courageously shares her personal journey through addiction, recovery, and the rediscovery of faith. Kori's story shatters the stereotypes of a dramatic "rock bottom"—revealing instead that her turning point was a quiet, insidious moment of clarity. Despite achieving outward success, she reached a point where the reality of an unmanageable relationship with alcohol became undeniable. Kori opens up about how childhood trauma and longstanding familial patterns contributed to her struggles with alcohol. Instead of remaining trapped in a cycle of self-destruction, she embarked on a transformative journey by embracing a 12-step program and turning to faith. Her commitment to sobriety has now spanned eight years, proving that freedom from alcohol is not about a single moment but about a continuous, intentional journey of healing. Reconnecting with God provided Kori with the courage to break generational cycles and embrace a life filled with hope and divine grace. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of faith, vulnerability, and self-examination, offering practical insights and heartfelt encouragement to anyone facing similar battles. Join us for an episode filled with honest reflections and uplifting encouragement as Kori Leigh's journey reminds us that even in the darkest moments, there is a path to healing and a future filled with hope – and a sober life beyond our wildest dreams!  Join the conversation in our community at https://butjesusdrankwine.com/community.  Order Christy's book now available!

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.

Every other week, Dr.s Kay & Ray review any and all of the reality TV they watched over the prior two weeks, awarding moments and/or castmates with their 8 Reality “Test” awards, while discussing the titular topics and more! Three very important topics were raised in the Real Housewives franchises this week. Although not handled perfectly by production, this collective of topics is incredibly, and sadly, relatable for more viewers than not. Thus, some powerful themes and common reactions are raised in ways that allow viewers to learn they are not alone in facing similar themes with similar reactions. Dr.s Kay & Ray discuss the strengths & growing edges of how these themes were handled by Bravo. Castmates and moments are given awards, including the TESTosterboned award (most patriarchal) and the Bechdel TEST (most feminist). Check out the episode to compare their choices to your own! This week, awards went to moments & castmates from the latest seasons of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Real Housewives of New York City, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and Survivor.—----------------------------------------------------------Reality testing is when we check an emotion or thought we're having against objective reality. So, here in Reality Test, we're going to be testing the thoughts, emotions, interactions, and producer antics of reality television against what we know, as licensed psychologists, about objective reality. Come Reality Test with us!Support the showGet access to our full archive of episodes by subscribing: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2336794/subscribeHosts: Dr. Kay & Dr. RayThank you to our sound extraordinaire, Connor!Instagram: @drkaypods @drraypodsTikTok: @dr.realitvFacebook Page: Reality Test Pod YouTube Channel: @RealityTestPodEmail: realitycheckpodding@gmail.com

Episode Summary:  In this Sacred Scar Story, we hear from Lori Wildenberg who faced the unimaginable pain of nearly losing her daughter to depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. She shares how her faith and God's presence guided her through this dark journey, ultimately bringing healing to both her daughter and herself. This story of resilience and hope offers encouragement for anyone navigating similar struggles. Quotables from the episode: Wounds have to be uncovered and cleaned out before real healing can take place. With great pain often comes fear, which can paralyze us and keep us from moving forward. Even when God healed my loved one, I had to come to the realization that I, too, had wounds that needed healing. It sounds counterintuitive but helping others helped heal me. God sets us up to have interdependent relationships. God is our helper. Even those parts of our lives that are messy and embarrassing can be used by God to help others. If you suspect your child is suffering from anxiety, depression, or suicidal ideation, ask them if they are thinking of hurting themselves, so you don't have to ask, ‘Why didn't they tell me?'  Scripture References: Hebrews 6:19 (NIV) We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.  John 16:33 (NIV) I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.    Recommended Resources:  Messy Hope: Help Your Child Overcome Anxiety, Depression, or Suicidal Ideation by Lori Wildenberg Messy Journey: How Grace and Truth Offer the Prodigal a Way Home by Lori Wildenberg Sacred Scars: Resting in God's Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson  The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out to God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms   Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the Christian Literary Awards Reader's Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be Another Good Day Breaking Anxiety's Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety's Grip Free Study Guide Free 7-Day YouVersion Bible Reading Plan for Breaking Anxiety's Grip Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor's Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Trusting God Through Cancer 1 Trusting God Through Cancer 2 Revive & Thrive Women's Conference Subdue Stress and Anxiety: Fifteen Experts Offer Comprehensive Tools in Ten Minutes a Day.

What if your mental health struggles had deeper, spiritual causes? Everyone knows how to handle their physical health — exercise and a balanced diet, for example. Modern healthcare also covers mental health, giving us more insights into how to safeguard our thoughts and emotions. But sometimes the roots of our health problems are neither physical nor mental. Things like occult influences, spiritual oppression and demonic strongholds unknowingly could bring spiritual health under attack. This could lead to demonization, depression, gender confusion and suicidal ideation.In this episode of the Revelations Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Natalie Atwell, a seasoned mental health practitioner and passionate advocate for integrating biblical truths into mental health care. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Atwell shares her journey from overcoming personal challenges like childhood trauma and physical disabilities to becoming a voice in the mental health field. Her insights bridge the gap between mental and spiritual health, offering a unique perspective on how the spiritual and psychological realms intersect.This conversation is a must-listen for anyone grappling with mental health challenges, whether for themselves or their loved ones. It's especially valuable for Christian parents seeking to navigate the mental health landscape for their children.Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Discover an in-depth understanding of the connection between mental and spiritual health and how our identity in Christ is so important to live as an image bearer of God.Learn how spiritual oppression by dark forces could lead to anxiety, sleep paralysis, suicidal ideation and dissociation.Hear Dr Atwell's opinion on how technology affects the mental health of our youth, particularly when it comes to anxiety and depression.Become Part of Our Mission!

But thanks to medical technology, she was able to overcome it.[06:14] Natalie: “I went from not walking the first two years of my life to being able to complete a marathon. That's a miracle.”Concord Counseling, which is Dr. Atwell's practice, believes in integrating biblical teachings with mental health care.Part of her work involves developing tools and assessments to address both psychological and spiritual challenges to mental and spiritual health.[11:24] Rising Spiritual Warfare in Mental HealthPost-2020, Dr. Atwell noticed a sharp increase in spiritual oppression linked to mental health, particularly dissociation, sleep paralysis, and suicidal ideation.Dr. Atwell developed a test to identify occult influences that might be affecting her clients' mental and spiritual health.Discerning spiritual influences alongside psychological factors is a core part of Dr. Atwell's methodology.Dr. Atwell is concerned about the rise of occult practices, being used in therapy. She warns against non-Christian influences in mainstream mental health treatments.According to Dr. Atwell, non-Christian practices in mental health services could open the gateway to dark forces that seek to harm your spiritual health.[23:30] The Divine Council WorldviewThe Divine Council worldview lets you approach Scripture using a supernatural lens.According to this perspective, there is a council that rules over the universe. Conversely, the rebels are the Enemy and fallen angels. [25:20] Natalie: “Being human is special, and I don't know that we talk about it enough, but being an imager of God is so important, and it is our identity that we were called to represent him on earth and to have dominion.” Natalie believes all sexual perversions stem from fallen angels mating with human women.Demonic forces attack your identity and the concept of you as an image of God.[31:21] The Role of Parents in Spiritual ProtectionParents play a central role in protecting their children from dark powers. Dr. Atwell advises parents to harness the power of prayer.She also stresses the importance of teaching children about spiritual warfare and their identity in Christ.Parents should closely monitor their children's exposure to technology and social media.The power of scripture and the divine influences children's spiritual health.[35:45] Impact of Technology and Social Media on YouthDr. Atwell links rising anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation in youth to social media use. Unmonitored technology tends to have a negative effect on children's mental health.Technology is often a gateway to exposure to dark spiritual influences, even unintentionally.Gender confusion is often a result of children having access to more sources of information and learning, giving them alternative perspectives.[47:56] The Importance of Ephesians 6 in Spiritual WarfareEphesians 6 discusses the armor of God, and as such is a central part of spiritual warfare. It has since become a central verse to Dr. Atwell's approach.Donning the armor of God can help people protect themselves from spiritual attacks and safeguards spiritual health.A critical element to remember about Ephesians 6 is the importance of fighting not against flesh, but against spiritual forces.The armor of God also includes tools like the helmet of salvation, shield of faith, and sword of the Spirit.[50:44] Deliverance and Mental Health TreatmentDr. Atwell has developed a treatment model based on biblical principles for spiritual deliverance.The model focuses on renouncing spiritual influences, confessing sins, and reclaiming identity in Christ.[51:17] Natalie: “I am a human, an imager of God, and that is my call and plan and purpose in life.”Dr. Atwell advocates for spiritual freedom through the power of the Holy Spirit and God's word.About NatalieDr. Natalie Atwell is a licensed mental health expert with over 20 years of experience, specializing in the intersection of mental health and spirituality.

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.

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.

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.
