Listen Later

In this week's episode, Dr. Matt Woolley is joined by Dr. Howard Weeks MD, MBA (Chief Medical Officer at Pathlight Mood and Anxiety) to talk about the relationship between psychology and psychiatry in the recovery process, how medications that typically help promote positive recovery hasn't evolved throughout the years, and the rise of ketamine to treat mental illnesses and pain.

Then we dive into how Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is used today to help treat severe mental illnesses, some of the common misconceptions behind these types of treatment options, and the stigma that surrounds mental illnesses.
