    Send us a text

    Can you imagine resolving mental health issues by scanning the brain rather than solely relying on medication and guesswork? Join us as we sit down with Dr. Steven Storage from the Amen Clinics to explore his revolutionary approach to psychiatry. Dr. Storage's journey through UCLA and Stanford, coupled with his work at Amen Clinics, has led him to challenge traditional psychiatric methods. He unveils the brain-health approach, where neuroimaging and personalized care take center stage over conventional symptom-based diagnoses.
    Discover the fragmentation in psychiatric care and the promise of SPECT imaging in providing a more scientific and data-driven approach to mental health. Dr. Storridge shares compelling stories and case studies, including how visual evidence from brain scans can dramatically impact patient awareness and outcomes. We discuss the intricate relationship between brain chemistry and addiction, the long-term effects of psychiatric medications, and the critical need for reassessing medication dosages based on actual brain function.
    We also explore the profound connection between nutrition and mental health and critique the traditional Western medical model's shortcomings. Dr. Storridge advocates for a holistic, preventative approach to mental wellness that includes diet, exercise, and sleep hygiene. Tune in to learn how embracing these practices can lead to significant improvements in conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and why it's essential to step outside conventional medical paradigms for better mental health.

    Behind Prison Walls: Ex-Prison Shrinks Expose Trauma and Truth Oct 01, 2024

    Send us a text

    🔒 Prison environments are anything but healing or rehabilitative. As correctional staff, we’re trained to never trust, never share, avoid admitting fault, and hide any sign of weakness from inmates.
    But if building rapport and relationships is key to helping others heal, then removing that means a huge part of rehabilitation—and even therapy—is completely missing.
    Join your Ex-Prison Shrinks, Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn, on The Gaslit Truth Podcast as we expose the harsh realities of the prison system and the hidden, non-rehabilitative truths that civilians never hear about. 🎙️
    Tune in now!!!🎙️✨
    Ever wondered what really happens behind prison walls? Forget the glamorized TV portrayals; we’re pulling back the curtain on the stark realities faced by inmates and staff alike. In this episode, Jen opens up about her journey with the Gaslit Truth podcast, celebrating its success and the deep connection with our listeners. Your feedback drives our mission, validating our efforts to offer a supportive space for those grappling with gaslighting. We hear firsthand the impact our work has had through your powerful stories, and it fuels our commitment to continue this meaningful venture.
    Next, we tackle the often-hidden trauma of prison life, debunking the myths perpetuated by social media and television. Jen and I share personal experiences that highlight the severe challenges of reentry into society, from lack of support structures to the overwhelming logistics of starting over. We discuss the ethical dilemmas and necessary lifestyle changes that come with working in corrections, including the safety measures we’ve taken to protect our families. These revelations paint a vivid picture of the emotional and psychological toll that prison work imposes on everyone involved.
    Finally, we expose critical flaws in the addiction treatment and rehabilitation system within prisons. The conversation covers everything from problematic recidivism rates to inadequate therapeutic support, drawing striking parallels between the experiences of inmates and military personnel. The episode ends with our reflections on the unique social dynamics within prisons and our heartfelt gratitude to our listeners. We encourage everyone to stay curious and practice self-care, and we’re excited to tease some incredible upcoming guests.

    Deprescribing Psychiatry with Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, Psychiatrist Sep 24, 2024

    Send us a text

    Can psychiatric medications be doing more harm than good? Esteemed psychiatrist Dr. Yosef Witt-Dering joins us to challenge the conventional wisdom surrounding psychiatric treatments. Transitioning from traditional psychiatry to a patient-centered approach, Dr. Witt-Dering critiques the over-reliance on medications influenced by pharmaceutical marketing and insurance incentives. He presents compelling arguments on why individualized care is crucial and questions the validity of psychiatric diagnoses that lack clear pathological evidence.
    This episode also tackles the rising trend of self-diagnosed mental health conditions propelled by social media and societal pressures. We examine the romanticization and potential dangers of self-diagnosing disorders like bipolar, ADHD, and autism without medical oversight. Dr. Witt-Dering and I discuss the critical importance of thorough medical evaluations, especially for vulnerable groups like children and middle-aged women, and the devastating consequences of misdiagnosis and inadequate testing. We revisit historical anecdotes, such as the misleading allure of stimulants for weight loss, to underscore the risks of unregulated medication use.
    Further, we delve into the contentious relationship between the FDA, pharmaceutical companies, and the public's perception of drug safety. Drawing eerie parallels to the tobacco industry, Dr. Witt-Dering exposes how pharmaceutical companies downplay the risks of antidepressants despite evident links to suicidal behavior. We explore the ethical dilemmas faced by medical professionals who challenge the status quo and the societal shifts in mental health stigmatization. Finally, we highlight the emotional and psychological hurdles faced by patients tapering off long-term medications, emphasizing the need for support, self-awareness, and celebrating milestones in their journey towards independence. Join us in this riveting discussion on the future of mental health care.

    Social Contagion: The Sick Role Subculture of Mental Illness Sep 17, 2024

    Send us a text

    How does social media shape our mental health and personal identities? This question underpins our latest episode, where Dr. Teralyn and therapist Jenn tackle the complexities of respectful engagement within our community. Kicking off with a thoughtful discussion about a YouTube comment that trivialized a guest's withdrawal experience, we underscore the importance of empathy and understanding in conversations about mental health. We delve into the diverse experiences of psych med withdrawal and reinforce our communal responsibility to support each other through challenging times.
    As we navigate the labyrinth of social media's impact, we dissect how platforms like TikTok and YouTube influence behaviors and self-identity, particularly among teens and women. Drawing from articles in Mad in America and Science Direct, we explore the concept of "social contagion" and how mental health diagnoses can become trendy identities within online groups. We reflect on how these digital spaces can both foster and distort self-perception, sharing personal anecdotes about how private diaries of the past have given way to today's very public digital expressions.
    Our conversation spans the romanticization of psychiatric disorders online and the pressures parents face in understanding their children's shifting identities. We discuss real-life cases, like a young girl’s self-diagnosis journey influenced by social media, and broader trends such as the glamorization of Dissociative Identity Disorder. By weaving in personal stories and expert insights, we advocate for a balanced approach that allows youth to explore their identities without premature pathologization, ensuring their online activities don't hinder their everyday lives. Listen in for a deep dive into modern self-expression in the digital age.
    Ever found yourself with this POV, "I've found my tribe on social media, they really get me and validate my feelings"? How far would you go to stay in that comforting space, even if it means adopting beliefs that don’t truly align with you?

    Social media can act as a petri dish for behavioral issues, often overshadowing genuine mental health conditions and spreading social contagion. The secret to breaking free? Embrace your individuality and don’t hesitate to step away from the crowd if you feel like you’re losing your personal sense of curiosity.

    Send us a text

    Can a single panic attack change the course of your life? Join us as we unravel the powerful narrative of That Functional Nurse, a 29-year-old ICU nurse whose journey with Lexapro began after an overwhelming panic attack. She faced unimaginable stress after her brother's sudden death and starting a high-pressure job. Despite initial relief from the medication, her story takes a dramatic turn when she decides to taper off after seven years, revealing the profound physical and emotional challenges of withdrawal. We unpack her ordeal and provide invaluable insights for those on similar paths.
    This episode goes beyond a single story to explore the broader landscape of mental health, especially among young professionals navigating high-stress environments. We discuss how age and life stages influence one’s self-awareness and response to psychiatric medication. Despite immense grief and pressure, our guest finds a transformative path of self-discovery and healing. Her experience serves as a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, there is a silver lining if you're willing to look for it.
    From misdiagnosis to the misleading nature of "low dose" medication, we dive into the complexities of psychiatric care. That Functional Nurse shares her personal tale of being misled by self-diagnosis and the medical system, and how it nearly derailed her life. We also tackle the societal stigma and personal challenges of making significant lifestyle changes to enhance mental health, including the backlash she faced. This episode is a candid discussion on the importance of informed consent, personal responsibility, and a balanced approach to mental health treatment. Tune in for a compelling conversation that challenges conventional wisdom and offers a fresh perspective on psychiatric medication and holistic healing.
    💊 From One Panic Attack to Seven Years on Lex@pr0

    It all began with a single panic attack, leading to seven years on the SSRI Lex@pr0. Instead of addressing the root cause—the intense pressure of being a new nurse thrown into high-acuity situations—That Functional Nurse felt she had only two choices: take the SSRI or risk another panic attack while caring for her patients.

    🚨 Join your Whistle-Blowing Shrinks, Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn, on The Gaslit Truth Podcast as we dive deep with That Functional Nurse into the story of seven years of psychiatric harm and a lifetime of neurochemical changes, all sparked by one panic attack.

    Transforming Addiction Recovery: The Power of Brain Health & Nutrition Pt 2 Aug 20, 2024

    Send us a text

    Can proper nutrition revolutionize addiction treatment? Discover the hidden nutrient deficiencies that could be the missing link in effective recovery, especially for women who consume alcohol. We delve deep into the neurochemical roots of addiction, examining how nutrient imbalances, particularly involving folic acid, can exacerbate both physical and mental health issues. Learn why addressing these deficiencies is essential for treating the chemical imbalances at the heart of addiction.
    Uncover the groundbreaking approaches in addiction recovery that prioritize brain health, featuring a transformative program from Stewart, Florida. We explore the benefits of amino acid therapy, holistic practices, and nutrition-focused strategies like IV therapy and individualized supplement plans. Hear about practical skills for long-term success, such as preparing nutrient-dense smoothies, and why focusing on nutrition might offer more effective outcomes than conventional cognitive behavioral therapy. Discover the crucial role of detoxification in overcoming brain fog and cognitive impairment during withdrawal.
    Explore the expansive impact of psychiatric medications and substances on neurotransmitter pathways and how they disrupt overall neurochemical balance. We share personal stories of addiction to prescription medications, highlighting the potential of nutrient-based interventions to alleviate suffering and improve recovery outcomes. We also address the cost and sustainability concerns of integrating brain health and nutrition-based programs into recovery centers nationwide. Despite technical difficulties, our passion for educating on brain health in addiction treatment shines through. Thank you for joining us on this enlightening journey; stay connected with us on all major podcast platforms and social media, and feel free to reach out with your thoughts and questions.
    Traditional addiction treatment often focuses on cognitive, psychiatric, and behavioral interventions. While these approaches are valuable, expecting a nutrient-depleted brain—already struggling with mental fog and neurological issues—to fully absorb and benefit from these methods seems unrealistic.

    🌫️ Instead, what should come first? Replenishing the brain and body with essential nutrients for mental clarity and overall well-being! 🌟

    From Stigma to Solutions: Reimagining Recovery from a Brain Health Perspective Pt 1 Aug 13, 2024

    Send us a text

    Can a non-traditional path to alcohol recovery be more effective than established methods? Join us on the Gaslit Truth Podcast as Jen and Dr. Teralyn break the ice with a lively chat about their quirky outfits and playful brand endorsement dreams leading to a heartwarming discussion about her husband's unconventional recovery journey. This episode sets out to challenge deeply ingrained beliefs about addiction and recovery, showing how personal experiences can influence professional insights.
    As we shift gears, we tackle the emotional and intricate topic of addiction from both personal and professional angles. We highlight the shortcomings of traditional treatment programs and stress the importance of being open to alternative perspectives. By sharing our stories and expertise, we aim to call attention to the need for better, more effective solutions that go beyond just completing a program. We also critique the damaging stigma that paints addiction as an unchangeable life sentence, advocating for a more compassionate and understanding approach.
    Finally, we dissect the criteria for alcohol use disorders and make thought-provoking comparisons with the use of prescription medications like Lexapro and Zoloft. We shed light on the often-overlooked patterns of misuse and the societal pressures to "white knuckle" through withdrawal. This episode is a call to rethink how addiction is perceived and treated, emphasizing the need for a broader, less judgmental perspective. Make sure to stay tuned for part two, where we'll dive even deeper into these critical discussions and uncover the missing pieces in the narrative around addiction and recovery.
    🚨 Take it from two Whistle-Blowing Shrinks: The phrase "once an addict, always an addict" is manipulative and hinders true healing.

    Traditional addiction treatment often relies heavily on cognitive and psychiatric interventions, shaming practices, and labels that stick for life, missing out on functional and integrative medicine approaches.

    🌱 Join Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn on The Gaslit Truth Podcast as we challenge conventional views and explore the truth about addiction as a neurochemical process that requires a different kind of treatment.

    Send us a text

    Please welcome Brooke Siem to our show! Brooke Siem (@brookesiem) is both a chef to professional athletes and the surprising face of psychiatric drug withdrawal awareness and advocacy. Her book, MAY CAUSE SIDE EFFECTS won the 2023 BIBA Prize for memoir and was named as one of Good Morning America's most anticipated reads. Her work on antidepressant withdrawal has also appeared in The Washington Post, New York Post, Psychology Today, and more. She is a Food Network "Chopped" Champion, founder of the newsletter Happiness Is A Skill, and creator of the Fuckit Bucket™.
    Navigating the treacherous waters of mental health treatment and antidepressant withdrawal requires courage and insight—a journey all three of us have personally trekked for over two decades. As we wade through the realities and controversies surrounding long-term SSRI use, we engage in a raw discussion that spans from the trials of book promotion fatigue to the extraordinary responsibility of advocating for mental health without overmedication. Our conversation sails towards the humorous shores of Bob Ross, using his calming painting sessions to illustrate the nuanced art of balancing creative output with meaningful dialogue.
    The heart of our discussion beats with the pulse of challenging established norms, as we contemplate the ethical dilemmas of prescribing medications, especially to children. We share stories of the emotional upheaval akin to a 'second puberty,' faced when stepping away from years of medication dependency. Our discourse leads us to examine the societal pressure to endure side effects for promised future gains, questioning the practice within the context of informed consent. This episode isn't just about my own experiences; it's an open forum inviting others, into the fold to discuss and debate the complexities of mental health care, including proposals of over-the-counter antidepressants.
    This episode paints a portrait of self-discovery and personal growth, exploring the profound impact that medications can have on our emotional development. We dissect the potential for drugs to hinder our journey towards self-actualization, with a focus on how this can affect personal growth and understanding of social cues.

    DSMV Burn Baby Burn, When Therapists Question The Diagnostic Rulebook May 14, 2024

    Send us a text

    🎙️🆕 DSM-V BURN BABY BURN, WHEN THERAPISTS QUESTION THE RULE BOOK DROPS TODAY!
    Do you feel lost in a maze of conflicting diagnoses? It’s as if each time you see a provider, you are given another label and you wonder “How is this possible? I am still the same person - right?” 🌀 Struggling under the weight of labels that don't quite match your experience is the reality for many leading patients to more confusion than clarity.
    Have you ever found yourself questioning the rulebook? That's exactly what Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn did in our latest conversation where we lit a literal match to the DSM-5. It wasn't just a rebellious act; it was the beginning of a deep dive into how mental health diagnoses need a serious overhaul. We share stories from the trenches—both the humorous and the harrowing—about the realities of diagnosing without the necessary tools that should be provided in our training, and why that's sending the wrong message to the next generation of therapists.
    The conversation took an earnest turn as we uncovered the often hidden world of on-the-job learning that therapists undergo. From our early days in correctional facilities to our transitions into private practice, we've seen firsthand how varying environments can reshape our understanding of mental health issues. But it's not just about where we work; it's also about the challenging predicacies within the field itself. We opened up about the struggles we face, from the daunting task of assessing inmates swiftly, to the dilemmas of overdiagnosis and the murky waters of diagnostic criteria expansion.
    Wrapping things up, we didn't shy away from confronting the controversies that keep us up at night. The late diagnosis of ADHD, the over-reliance on symptom checklists, and the pharmaceutical industry's impact on the tools we use—it's all up for scrutiny. We took a step back to observe the changing tides of mental health trends, from the rise of TikTok self-diagnoses to society's shifting focus. With a call to remain curious and critical, Dr. Teralyn, Therapist Jen, and I invite our listeners to stay engaged in the conversation about how we can all better navigate the complex landscape of mental health and wellness.

    Multiple Psych Meds, Stacking meds, washing meds, repeat: A Deep Dive into the Realities of Medication Dependency Apr 23, 2024

    Send us a text

    🎙️Are you taking two or more psychiatric medications to treat the same pain point? Have you been taken off multiple psychiatric medications at the same time and assured that THE NEW YOU will emerge?
    Join your Whistle-Blowing Shrinks Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn TODAY on The Gaslit Truth Podcast as we talk TRUTH about polypharmacy and medication washing as dangerous treatment strategies that cause HARM.
    💬 Have you or someone you know faced these challenges? Share your story in the comments below and join us in raising awareness about this important issue.
    🚫 One key aspect we'll discuss is that medication washing is presented to patients as a “new baseline” from which the NEW YOU emerges. What’s not shared with patients is that the NEW YOU cannot be established for months or even years as the brain and body go through withdrawal. The sad solution - ADD more medication.
    🚨 TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses research and personal experience around how we are GASLIT by providers to believe that medication stacking is going to fix mental health struggles. Suppose you are taking multiple medications to manage the same mental health condition. In that case, you are the definition of polypharmacy which may trigger anger and feeling helpless at the hands of prescribers.

Our conversation uncovers the beauty and challenge in the work we do, and its profound effect on not just our clients, but us as well, sometimes moving us to tears. Through personal stories and experiences, we venture into the heart of therapeutic impact and the shared human condition in our quest for healing.
    Navigating the murky waters of polypharmacy, we confront the hard truths of mental health treatment and the fine line between help and hindrance that multiple prescriptions can represent. With anecdotes of dependency spirals and blurred lines between symptoms and side effects, the discussion calls for a paradigm shift. We advocate for a holistic approach to mental wellness that champions nutrition and lifestyle, and dare to question the status quo of our healthcare's communication failures, particularly in addiction recovery. It's an eye-ope

    Truth Exposed: Maybe You're Born With It, Maybe It's Inflammation Apr 16, 2024

    Send us a text

    When our bodies whisper tales of discomfort, it's our minds that often scream out in response. This isn't just poetic musing but the thrust of our latest Gaslit Truth Podcast episode, where the often-ignored nexus of inflammation and mental health takes center stage. With the insightful guest therapist Jen by our side, we tackle the Western medical model's shortcomings, offering a fresh lens to view conditions like depression as not just psychological battles but also physical ones. We wrangle with the idea that your mood might be more deeply entwined with inflammation than you've ever considered, and that the usual prescription pad approach might need a rethink.
    Witnessing a seizure recently threw me back into the past, dredging up memories that I thought were long buried. It was a powerful, unwelcome reminder of how our past shadows our present, physically and mentally. In this conversation, we weave personal narratives with discussions on 'toxic positivity', the intricate dance between our thoughts and our body's inflammatory responses, and therapeutic avenues like EMDR that can help intercept this cycle. We break down the barriers between mind and body, investigating how our internal dialogue can send ripples throughout our physiology, potentially derailing our mental health journey.
    We wrap up this deep dive with a look at the often-overlooked pillars of mental health: digestive health, detoxification, and diet. It's not just about the food on our plates but the words that feed our minds. As we piece together the puzzle of mood disorders, we highlight the two-way street between the gut and the brain, encouraging a dialogue that extends beyond our episode. We invite you to join us on this exploration of the self, sharing your stories and adding to the tapestry of experiences that shape the Gaslit Truth Podcast community.

    Send us a text

    Discover the disturbing truths and hidden controversies of the mental health field as Dr. Teralyn and therapist Jen join us for an unflinching examination of the discipline's murky past. This episode peels back the curtain on the profession's earliest days, revealing how the shadows of eugenics and the asylum system continue to loom large over modern practices. As we dissect the legacy of figures like Freud and spotlight the stark omissions in our educational curriculum, we promise a journey that will not only inform but also provoke a critical re-evaluation of the mental health narrative.
    The annals of psychiatric care are marred by interventions that now seem barbaric, and our conversation takes a hard look at the life-threatening surgeries performed by Dr. Cotton, whose work was once praised. These grim tales serve as stark reminders of the necessity for ethical practices in mental health care. With Dr. Terri Lynn and therapist Jen as our guides, we reflect on the enduring implications of historical treatments and emphasize the need for empathy and patient-centered approaches in the wake of ego-driven agendas that have tainted our field's history.
    Wrapping up our episode, we probe the complexities of current psychiatric research and practice, challenging the integrity of studies that influence our understanding of treatments such as ECT and antidepressants. With a critical eye, we discuss the importance of transparency in psychiatric research and the honoring of patient experiences. By the end of this thought-provoking dialogue, listeners are urged to consider the implications of past practices on the present and to recognize the vital role of ethical standards in shaping the future of mental health care.

    Treatment Resistant & Other Stupid Labels: When Psychiatric Medication Fails You Mar 26, 2024

    Send us a text

    Ever felt like a square peg being forced into a round hole of mental health treatments? Our latest episode peels back the curtain on the stigmatizing label of "treatment-resistant" in mental health care, revealing the systemic flaws that place undue blame on patients for the shortcomings of treatments. We join forces with experts to dismantle the disheartening narrative that often accompanies this term, shining a light on its pervasive use across various conditions, and the concerning rise of medication dependence, particularly in vulnerable populations like children and women. We're not just critiquing; we're calling for a paradigm shift that focuses on the adequacy of care rather than patient labeling.
    Navigating the stormy seas of treatment-resistant depression can be a desolate journey, but we're not charting these waters alone. We share raw, firsthand experiences with antidepressants like Effexor, exposing the often-dismissive responses patients encounter, along with the distressing side effects. With our listeners as our co-navigators, we dissect the insidious ways medical marketing shifts blame onto those seeking help and scrutinize the medical literature for how it presents non-medication treatments. It's not just a discussion—it's a revelation of the hidden forces at play in the treatments offered to people grappling with persistent depression.
    Wrapping up our voyage, we dare to confront the controversial Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) and its role in the narrative of treatment-resistant depression. We don't shy away from examining the weighty implications of such labels and treatments, placing a spotlight on the psychiatrists' role, potential financial motivations, and the underexplored non-medical approaches that often get overshadowed by invasive procedures. As we delve into the power dynamics within psychiatry, we advocate for a practice rooted in ethical standards and patient autonomy. Join us for this critical and timely discussion that challenges the status quo and champions a more compassionate and empowering approach to mental health care.

    Deprescribe Me: Breaking Free from the Grasp of Antidepressants Mar 19, 2024

    Send us a text

    Embarking on a journey to taper off SSRIs can feel like navigating through a dense fog—challenging and fraught with the unknown. My co-host, therapist Jen, and I, Dr. Teralyn, pull from our own stories of medication withdrawal to shed light on the resources that are crucial during this process. While a good laugh about our telehealth wardrobe mishaps lightens the mood, our conversation takes a serious turn as we unravel the importance of professional medical advice, the power of a supportive community, and the necessity of understanding what lies ahead when reducing or stopping medication.
    Neurotransmitters, those tiny messengers within our brains, hold immense power over our well-being, particularly serotonin and dopamine. They're also central characters in our in-depth chat about the delicate dance of tapering off medications. We dig into the science behind addiction and mental health therapies, sharing personal insights to highlight the role of diet, lifestyle, and amino acids in achieving a balanced state of mind. It's an eye-opener—reminding us that a pill isn't always the panacea, and the road to recovery often requires a more holistic approach.
    If you've ever felt alone in the struggle of antidepressant withdrawal, let this episode serve as your companion and guide. We tackle the nitty-gritty of "discontinuation syndrome," the impact of medications on neurotransmitters throughout the body, and the empowering act of sharing patient stories. As we discuss the insights from "Prozac Backlash" and other resources, we cement the significance of being an informed and empowered patient. Your story matters, and we invite you to join us in creating a dialogue around mental health and medication complexities, fostering a community that understands and supports one another through every step.

    Send us a text

    As I, Dr. Teralyn sat with my dear friend and therapist, Jen, our conversation took a turn toward the deeply personal. We wound through the complex path of antidepressant use during pregnancy, weighing the delicate scales of maternal mental health against fetal development. This heart-to-heart isn't just about sharing our stories—it's about illuminating the often hushed dialogues surrounding medication, mental well-being, and the intricate dance of decision-making that expectant mothers face.
    Navigating pregnancy while managing mental health can feel like walking a tightrope, and this episode doesn’t shy away from that reality. We peel back the layers on the impact of healthcare professionals' guidance, and the profound weight their words carry in the informed consent process. You'll hear firsthand how the ripples of our experiences extend to the little ones we bring into the world as I recount my son's early developmental hurdles—a tale that underscores the need for clear, comprehensive communication and the empowerment of patients to ask challenging questions.
    In the tender realm of motherhood, the implications of medication use ripple into the postpartum period, touching on breastfeeding and child development. Alongside Jen, we tackle the emotional and practical challenges faced by mothers striving to nourish their newborns, the need for awareness among healthcare providers, and the importance of informed discussions on the effects of psychiatric medications. This conversation is an advocacy for knowledge, a call for compassionate healthcare dialogue, and a journey toward empowerment in the most vulnerable chapters of parenthood.

    They Blinded Me With Science: Big Pharma Marketing Machine Mar 05, 2024

    Send us a text

    Unveil the hidden truths behind the glossy veneer of Big Pharma's marketing with Dr. Teralyn and therapist Jen, as we investigate the chasm between the feel-good narratives of medication commercials and the harsh realities of side effects and efficacy. Our exploration kicks off with an analysis of a recent Pfizer Super Bowl commercial, peeling away the layers of its inclusive message to question the true impact of these drugs on our health and society. We confront the unsettling evidence presented in a JAMA study, which suggests that the drugs we're bombarded with through high-budget ads might not be the ones that best serve our health needs.
    Strap in for a candid discussion on the precarious practice of medication stacking in psychiatric care, as we contrast it with the precise nature of treatments like insulin for diabetes. Listeners will gain frontline insights into the therapist's role in navigating the complexities patients face with psychiatric medications, and we'll tackle the criticism of openly discussing such issues. Our conversation extends to 'Big Pharma Friday' events, exposing the tactics used to curry favor among healthcare professionals and the implications for patient care.
    To close, we cast a critical eye on the financial might of the pharmaceutical industry, scrutinizing Pfizer's spending on advertising versus research and the potential conflicts arising from their lobbying efforts. We invite you to consider the integrity of the medical advice we receive and ponder the influence of Big Pharma's deep pockets on the treatment options presented to us. Join us for a session that promises not just to inform but also to challenge your perspective on the pervasive power of pharmaceutical marketing in our healthcare system.

    Are Antidepressants Ruining Relationships? Feb 27, 2024

    Send us a text

    Weaving through the delicate intricacies of how antidepressants shape the emotional and intimate landscapes of our lives, Dr. Teralyn, along with therapist Jen, embark on a candid exploration that many shy away from. Ever felt that tug in your chest, the one that pulls at the threads of connection between you and your partner as you navigate the waters of mental health treatment? We've been there, and in this episode, we unveil the raw and often unseen effects of medications like sertraline and Lexapro on love, longing, and the longing to connect.
    Emotions run deep as we peel back the layers of postpartum depression and the hushed struggles mothers face, particularly when antidepressants enter the picture. Delving into our own battles with intrusive thoughts and the scarcity of protective factors for new mothers, we aim to dismantle the stigma and spark discussions that could pave the way for better support and understanding. And it doesn't stop there; we probe the parallels of withdrawal, both from antidepressants and the bonds that sustain us, considering how these medications color our personal narratives and the fabric of our relationships.
    As we wrap up this profound conversation, we contemplate the potential ripple effects of antidepressant use on societal trends, including the unsettling correlation with rising divorce rates. By sharing the multifaceted journeys of our hearts and minds, we seek to illuminate the need for resilience, the grace of apology, and the unending pursuit of balance in mental health treatment. Join us as we share more than just experiences; we share a call to re-evaluate the interplay between medication, mental wellness, and the enduring human quest for connection.

    Operation Deep Throat: Our Gaslit Truth Feb 20, 2024

    Send us a text

    Have you ever felt your voice drowned out by the environment you were meant to thrive in? Join Dr. Teralyn and Jen, two therapists daring to challenge the status quo, as they recount the twists and turns of their careers in mental health. Woven through our personal narratives, this episode reveals the subtle yet pervasive ways in which professionals can become gaslit in their workplaces and the wisdom we've unearthed from these experiences. Reflecting on the instinctual cues we ignored and the mentorships that molded us, we aim to spark a light of awareness and advocacy within you.
    The journey through the mental health field is neither straight nor narrow, as Jen and I can attest. We share our trials of proposing innovative solutions met with resistance and recount the crossroads that led us to divergent paths within the same organization. Our discussion is vulnerable as we delve into the traumatic stints in supervisory roles and the critical moments that beckoned us to step away from suffocating work environments. This conversation isn't merely a recount; it's a testament to the transformation that's possible when you choose your identity and happiness over the comfort of conformity.
    As we close this episode, we dissect the intricate web of inadequacy and the struggle to maintain critical thinking against the grain of suppressive systems. Our professional pivots—from traditional settings to the autonomy of private practice—uncover the ongoing challenges beneath the surface of being one's own boss. We invite our listeners to join us as whistleblowing informants, engage with us beyond these audio waves, and let's kindle a collective movement toward genuine change in the landscape of mental health care.
