Concise Psych

Today we discuss the underlying reasons beneath the severe stigma of mental illness in the military and in Veterans. This is the first episode back after a long hiatus. It's good to be back!

In this episode, I discuss the US Prison System, the deficiencies causing barriers to prisoners rehabilitating, and how to reform the system using psychologically minded and evidence based techniques. This is obviously a vast topic and this merely scratches the surface.

This episode I interview best selling author Stephen Hawley Martin - he has written about various topics including near death experiences (which as you guys know I enjoy discussing), the afterlife, reincarnation, and much more. He has more than 140 books in print, he had his own weekly podcast called "The Truth about Life," from 2007 through 2009 and averaged more than 30,000 downloads per episode.

In this interview I discuss NDEs, SDEs, theories about the afterlife, where humanity is headed, and even UFOs!

Today I discuss a wide range of topics with William, our Artificial Intelligence, including the state of humanity, beliefs about death, mental health, and more. Do you think William passes the Turing Test? 

We take a look at this ancient story from the Middle East and what it can teach us about Death and related concepts. We can use our innate Fear of Death to live more in the present moment and have fuller lives.

In this episode I discuss what clinical depression actually is. We take it apart piece by piece to truly understand it - it's causes, manifestations, and impacts on our lives. I also describe the 4 Perspectives of Psychiatry which can help us understand depression (and other psychiatric illnesses) really well. And it wouldn't be an episode without dispelling stigma so I also talk about how Depression has been around for a really long time...
