Today The Soul of Life is a crash course on medicine for the mind with Dr. Joel Bernanke, a Columbia and Cornell-trained psychiatrist. We cover the power, potential and pitfalls of psychopharmacology and its alternatives.

The Mind is Your Body

We try to alleviate some of the common fears of talking to a psychiatrist and expose misconceptions that stop people from treating their mind like any other part of their body. We focus especially on treatment for depression, anxiety, and one of Dr. Bernanke’s research areas—ADHD.

Recently, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published results from a survey that found prevalence of depression symptoms in the U.S. increased more than 3-fold during the COVID-19 pandemic, from around 8% of the population before COVID-19 to about 28% during COVID-19.

We discuss lifestyle changes proven to prevent or reduce anxiety and depression, and men (like me!) that avoid asking for help with emotional health.

Topics we cover:

• Misconceptions about how medicines for the mind work 
• The “pill-pushing” psychiatrist
• Can genetic testing improve psychiatric outcomes?
• What role does marijuana play in causing or treating depression?
• Safety of pediatric psychiatry including ADHD treatment
• Could “California rocket fuel” help treat depression?

Terri Cheney was a successful entertainment lawyer who represented some of the biggest names in the business, like Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones. All the while, she hid her mental illness and the slash marks on her wrist from a suicide attempt. She bravely started writing about her experience living with bipolar disorder after several horrific suicide attempts, encounters with the law, broken relationships and, eventually, a stint in a mental hospital and several rounds of electroshock therapy. The writing led to her first memoir, Manic, which went on to become a bestseller and the basis of an episode of Netflix's Modern Love where Anne Hathaway did a phenomenal job capturing Terri’s mania and depression.

In Terri’s new book, Modern Madness- An Owner’s Manual, she combines clinical research with her own lived experience- stories like her manic highs accompanied by extreme drinking, driving, and dating. Her new book brilliantly bridges the gap between the one-size-fits-all approach of modern medicine and makes it relatable and valuable for everyone. Those dealing with mental health issues and their family and friends who are often left to pick up the pieces will undoubtedly appreciate her humor and her insight.

Terri lives in Los Angeles, teaches personal essay writing workshops, and keeps up her blog, The Bipolar Lens for Psychology Today.

When Tana Amen was suffering from depression, she had no idea it was caused by her thyroid medication. She started taking antidepressant medication, and the effect it had on her was completely unexpected. In the second episode of a series on antidepressants, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana describe how some antidepressant medications can give your entire personality an overhaul, and how it may not always be a positive change.

Your thoughtful hosts take a bold stance: mental illness sucks!

We establish that mental illness is largely just a bullshit excuse to take pills. At least in Kjell's case. 

Warning: this is an antisocial medium.

Two washed-up "artists", who double as pizza guys, are now officially posing as podcasters. Your hosts, Kjell "The Wheezin' Norwegian" Bjorgen and Kevin Hagen launch the first installment of Deliver Us From People by arguing past each other about the fraudulence of others (and themselves). 

We initiate this initial installment with insults.

Kjell brags about scoring an acting gig, starring as an alcoholic at risk for stroke.

We dis, we cuss, then we discuss Kjell's obsession with 'The Hoff' and why Kevin doesn't understand, let alone share, his hatred for the ballyhooed performance artist.  

No more pussy-footing around - the first installment has been delivered.

This episode takes a deep dive into a male's perspective of mental health. Join Ketty and guest Sean, as he discusses how he was able to face his struggles with depression and anxiety with the help of Yoga, family and medication.

For some people, antidepressants can help improve the quality of life. For others, it only makes things worse. In the second episode of the “Skills or Pills?” series, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen tackle depression. They discuss at what point antidepressants are a reasonable choice, and when other natural methods should be tried, such as exercise, nutrition, mediation, or supplements.

On MIA Radio this week, MIA's Zenobia Morrill interviews Dr. Vance Trudeau, a professor at the University of Ottawa in Canada. Dr. Trudeau describes a recent study he conducted, alongside a team of researchers, led by Dr. Marilyn Vera-Chang, that has implications for understanding of the long-term impact of antidepressant drug exposure (see MIA report).

The study, titled Transgenerational hypocortisolism and behavioral disruption are induced by the antidepressant fluoxetine in male zebrafish Danio rerio linked antidepressant exposure to decreased coping behaviors in zebrafish that lasted several generations. Dr. Trudeau is the research chair in neuroendocrinology at the University of Ottawa, where he studies how the brain regulates hormonal activity in fish and frogs. Such analyses offer important insights into the effects of environmental exposures on human health because these hormonal systems are shared across species.
