The themes drawn between these two stories are spooky. We examine the psychological similarities & blur the lines. Is truth stranger than fiction? How is it that Warren Jeffs still hold so much power over his followers, even from behind prison bars?

Is he DANGEROUS? Where do you stand on the public BACKLASH?

In 2008- Vince Li, while in a psychotic state, Decapitated and cannibalized the person he was sitting next to after voices in his mind commanded him to do so..

Li was found criminally not responsible due to mental illness, and is now free in the public, sparking debate and public outcry. Some say Li is a danger to the public, others say he deserves a second chance. What are the social implications of either one of these decisions? What is the Psychology of religious-type command hallucinations?

Psychotherapist Michael Drane & Justin Krause answer an email from Stalker/Parton Karen:

Hello friend i was hoping that someday one of your podcasts might cover anhedonia. i am struggling right now with my husband of 11 years who is going through his 3 bout of depression in his life. he is in london and I in the U.S. and we were just about to make final arrangements for our move there. (he is a British citizen) the absolute worst part of his depression is the lack of emotion he is feeling towards me. (I dont love you anymore, I dont see a future with us, had no clue it was my birthday and on and on) It would be great to have some clarity on the subject as it relates to depression. Regardless, I remain vigilant and will always be there for him. I would be grateful if you would kindly consider my request. Love your podcasts and have listened to them all! kind regards, Karen
