On July 20, 2022 a review was published in the journal of Molecular Psychiatry. This review compiled 30 years of research into serotonin and depression in full showing little evidence of any abnormality of serotonin in people with depression.

The Chemical Imbalance theory of depression has been widely publicized by Doctors and the Media for decades. This serotonin theory of depression has influenced millions to take or continue antidepressant medication.

IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT STOP YOUR ANTIDEPRESSANTS SUDDENLY OR TOO FAST.

Today we discuss this review and its implications.

Why did we begin to interpret common childhood and adolescent behaviors as symptoms? 

The United States has utilized the school environment to determine what is normal or abnormal behavior, leading to subjectivity and bias. Close to 10% of children have been drugged and labeled with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. 

Such an important topic needs to be discussed in greater detail. Today we continue our conversation on ADHD.

The collective wellbeing in America has been on a steady decline. Is it because we look too quickly to medicalize human distress, rather than accepting and overcoming these adversities? These periods of struggle can lead to post-traumatic growth with a new sense of purpose to create a life worth living.   

On today’s podcast we discuss the personal and collective growth that can be achieved from struggle.

In 2018, the APA released guidelines to help psychologists work with men and boys. These guidelines recognize that some traditional masculine traits are harmful. This in itself can be damaging because those traits serve a purpose in society. Self sufficiency and independence should be fostered in a healthy way, not seen as risk factors.

On today’s podcast we discuss the war on masculinity.

In 2011, a paper was published in Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine examining the relationship of antidepressants and akathisia side effects in those with genetic mutations in the metabolizing genes of the CYP450 family. In the study, eight of the subjects had committed homicide and many more became extremely violent while on antidepressants. 

On today’s podcast we welcome one of the co-authors, Christopher Crotty, and subject, David Carmichael, to share their stories.

Mass Shootings are, for the most part, an American phenomenon. Why? Since 2014, mass shootings in the United States have increased 157%. Many groups are advocating for change, which we can all agree is necessary. Identifying the root cause is where we have a lot of debate and are often left asking more questions.  

On today’s podcast we discuss the role of mental health in mass shootings.
