I’m honored to chat today with Dr. Craig Heacock, a good friend, local psychiatrist, and fellow runner and podcast host. Craig and I take a deep dive into substance-induced psychosis, a problem that is, unfortunately, becoming more and more prevalent in young adults, particularly young men. These are a few discussion points that come up:

• What exactly is substance-induced psychosis?
• Is it qualitatively different than “regular” psychosis?
• What are the risk factors for developing substance-induced psychosis?
• What is the prognosis after a substance-induced psychotic break?

I’m a licensed psychologist and Clinical Director at the Colorado Center for Assessment & Counseling, a private practice that I founded in 2009 and grew to include nine licensed clinicians, three clinicians in training, and a full administrative staff. I earned my undergraduate degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina before getting my Master’s and PhD in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University. These days, I specialize in psychological and neuropsychological evaluation with kids and adolescents.

As the host of the Testing Psychologist Podcast, I provide private practice consulting for psychologists and other mental health professionals who want to start or grow psychological testing services in their practices. I live in Fort Collins, Colorado with my wife (also a therapist) and two young kids.
