Spooky Psychology

INSANITY PLEA (PART 2) Feb 29, 2024

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics including murder, mental health disorders, and legal proceedings related to violent crimes.

Welcome, fellow curious minds, to another spine-tingling episode of Spooky Psychology.

In Part 2 of discussing the insanity plea and the Sydney Powell case, we dive into some diagnoses that were brought up during her trial.

What exactly is Schizophrenia? How is it different from Schizoaffective disorder?

Tune in and we'll unpack each one, and why diagnoses shared in expert testimony can vary so much.

We also debunk what psychosis is and what typical psychotic episodes look like.... and it's probably not what you expect or the way the media portrays it.

INSANITY PLEA (PART 1) Nov 28, 2023

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics including murder, mental health disorders, and legal proceedings related to violent crimes.

Welcome, fellow curious minds, to another spine-tingling episode of Spooky Psychology.

Today, we venture into a very recent case in true crime- the Sydney Powell case.

But this isn't just an episode of discussing the horror that took place in Ohio.

It's a dive into the complexities of the human mind and the intricacies of the insanity plea in our American justice system.

We'll navigate the treacherous terrain of the insanity defense, unraveling why it's notoriously challenging to prove in a court of law. We'll also delve into the perplexing puzzle for legal professionals and mental health experts alike.

Most importantly, beyond the sensational headlines lies a deeper exploration—considerations from a compassionate mental health perspective.

Tune in for part 1 as we break down the logistics of the case and some fundemental pieces that are important to note when it comes to the "insanity plea" in America.

We love to hear from you! Keep in touch:

Welcome to Spooky Psychology with Megan & Lauren. In this episode we will be discussing the psychology of the prison system. We touch on topics such as solitary confinement, what the process looks like of a prison intake, socialization in prison, nutraloaf, and much more. We also want to hear from you for our next episode where we will interview people who have worked in the prison system.

Hey guys! Megan here. If you listened to our last episode you know we have been actively looking for sponsors. I am so excited to let you know that spooky psych officially has its first affiliate link! A few weeks ago I reached out to therabox to ask if they would be interested in collaborating with us. Therabox is a subscription box designed by therapists to work on self care. It has a few different relaxing products (I've gotten scrubs, face masks, nail polish and lots of other products) along with 1 therapist designed happiness boosting activity. In addition to the subscription boxes they have a standalone shop where you can buy older boxes and individual products. I started getting these boxes a few months back and i love them. Below is one of the boxes I received. If you are looking to improve your self care please consider checking them out, using the link below. Be sure to use this link as any purchases made through it will help support Lauren and I and help us keep this podcast going. Thanks! https://www.mytherabox.com/?rfsn=3819396.014c008
