One of my favorite Intagram psychiatrists, who is also a comedian, Dr. Sam Althauser, DO AKA Sam Silverman, joins the podcast to discuss the power of comedy, the power of psychiatry, and the power of combining the two...laughter is the best medicine, right?  

"Samuel Althauser, DO is a psychiatrist from Santa Barbara, California. He is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic medicine and completed his psychiatry training at Loma Linda University. He moonlights as a stand up comic under the stage name Sam Silverman, telling jokes about his day job and his own mental health. He has performed across the country and his credits include the Tower City Comedy Festival and Santa Barbara Laugh Festival."
