Pluralistic Ignorance Pluralistic ignorance is when people wrongly assume their private view is in the minority, so they copy what they think the group expects. A lot of men don’t actually want the bravado, the sexism, the aggression. But they think that’s what being a man is supposed to look like. So the performance continues. And everyone pays for it.

The ‘True’ Self vs ‘False’ Self In this short video, Dr Sanil Rege, a psychiatrist, explains the psychodynamic origins of the ‘false self’, and how early caregiver dynamics shape one’s core identity. Core Concepts Discussed: - The Role of Mirroring: How a stable self-concept only emerges when our caregivers mirror our emotions accurately (or reasonably accurately), allowing us to internalise a cohesive sense of self. - The Psychodynamic Split: Understanding the distinction in psychodynamic language between the true self and a false self that is moulded to meet external demands. - The Cost of Conditional Love: Recognising the common clinical presentation where individuals felt they "had to be good to receive love from my caregiver." - Clinical Consequences: How a fragmented self-concept ultimately leads to identity diffusion, which is a hallmark of unresolved developmental conflicts and unmet needs. #Psychiatry #IdentityDiffusion #Psychodynamics

The Floor Above Episode 3 | Gaming Through Schizophrenia | Mental Health Livestreams This playlist is about gaming as a way of coping, grounding, and getting through difficult days. I live with schizophrenia, and a lot of the time that comes with isolation, intensity, and long stretches where the world feels hard to stay connected to. Gaming has become one of the ways I manage that. It gives me structure, something to focus on, and a space where I can still feel engaged when everything else feels distant. These livestreams aren’t about being the best or playing perfectly. They’re about showing up, staying present, and using games as a tool for well-being. Some days that means distraction, some days it means routine, and sometimes it just means not being alone for a while. There may be quiet moments, reflective conversations, or times where things feel a bit raw. That’s part of it. Nothing here is overly polished — it’s real-time coping, in whatever form that takes. If you’re going through something similar, or if gaming helps you manage your own mental health in any way, you’re welcome here. — Oli

Can I Stop My Bipolar Meds?  Cold Turkey vs Tapering "Do I have to take these meds forever?" It’s the most common question psychiatrists hear, but the answer is rarely a simple yes or no. In this episode, hosts Gabe Howard (living with bipolar) and Dr. Nicole Washington (board-certified psychiatrist) dive into the risks, the realities, and the honest conversations most doctors avoid when it comes to stopping bipolar medication. They break down why "cold turkey" is a recipe for disaster and explain the equally dangerous "hot turkey" otherwise known as restarting a full medication cocktail after a long break. Gabe shares his own journey of switching doctors to find a specialist in titration, illustrating the difference between "Mercedes Benz care" and trying to navigate a "hoopty" ride on your own. Dr. Nicole explains the science of brain receptors, the logistical hurdles of compounding pharmacies, and why the medical community is often resistant to "deprescribing." Listeners Will Learn: ·  Instead of "stopping" try reframing the conversation as "decreasing reliance" ·  Why lowering your medication slowly gives you better results ·  Finding a psych doctor who understands "deprescribing" may take time ·  A successful, safe medication adjustment can take a year or more—it is a marathon, not a sprint  Whether you’re struggling with side effects like brain fog and sexual dysfunction or you simply want to feel more in control, this episode offers a roadmap for having an honest, data-driven conversation with your treatment team. Learn why "decreasing reliance" on medication is often a more successful goal than quitting entirely, and how to treat bumps in the road as data points rather than failures. "Most people think stopping meds is like flipping a light switch—on Monday you're on them, and on Tuesday you're not. But in reality, it’s a slow, medical taper. It’s more accurate to describe this as 'decreasing our reliance' rather than just quitting, so we can actually see what the data tells us." ~Gabe Howard, Host Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning podcast host, author, and sought-after suicide prevention and mental health speaker, but he wouldn’t be any of those things today if he hadn’t been committed to a psychiatric hospital in 2003.Gabe also hosts Healthline's Inside Mental Health podcast has appeared in numerous publications, including Bipolar magazine, WebMD, Newsweek, and the Stanford Online Medical Journal. He has appeared on all four major TV networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX. Among his many awards, he is the recipient of Mental Health America’s Norman Guitry Award, received two Webby Honoree acknowledgements, and received an official resolution from the Governor of Ohio naming him an “Everyday Hero.” Gabe wrote the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are available directly from the author with free swag included! To learn more about Gabe, or to book him for your next event, please visit his website, gabehoward.com. Our host, Dr. Nicole Washington, is a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she attended Southern University and A&M College. After receiving her BS degree, she moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to enroll in the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed a residency in psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma in Tulsa. Since completing her residency training, Dr. Nicole has spent most of her career caring for and being an advocate for those who are not typically consumers of mental health services, namely underserved communities, those with severe mental health conditions, and high performing professionals. Through her private practice, podcast, speaking, and writing, she seeks to provide education to decrease the stigma associated with psychiatric conditions. Find out more at DrNicolePsych.com.

Everything YOU Need to Know about AVO's In Australia Most people think an AVO is just a court order. It's not. It's a signal — and once it's sent, it doesn't stay in one courtroom.In this video I break down what an Apprehended Violence Order actually does to you: not just the legal mechanics, but the systems it quietly activates — your employment, your firearms licence, your family court proceedings, your permanent police record. All of it. This isn't a law lecture. It's what I've seen happen to real people who thought they understood the system — and didn't. What you'll learn: — Why an AVO can be made against you without a finding of guilt — What "consent without admissions" really means (and why it can cost you everything) — How a private AVO application can destroy your life even if it's withdrawn — The moment police discretion was removed — and what that means for you — Why the process itself can become the punishmentIf you're facing an AVO, have been named in one, or just want to understand how this system actually works — watch this before you make any decisions. ⚖️ Need legal advice?

Long waits make for sicker patients. Sicker patients need more time in hospital. Our health system needs urgent care | Ranjana Srivastava When experienced staff leave, the inexperienced people who replace them need years to gain confidence Visiting the magnificent Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia, my elderly dad resolutely navigated the steep stairs as I held my breath. My mother, less mobile and more wary, stayed at ground level but the 12th-century ground wasn’t exactly smooth. All I could think was “falls risk”, which casually led me to ask our guide what the local hospital system was like. This invited a lament about the long waits, the cost of care and poor outcomes. Someone else explained that in South Korea, her wealthy country with universal healthcare, paramedics must call dozens of hospitals to seek permission to off-load patients. A woman hit by a truck died after the ambulance could not find any of 30 hospitals to accept her. Continue reading...

Depression Isn’t One Thing — Why the Wrong Treatment Keeps Failing This video explains why depression is not one single condition, why the label “depression” can mislead treatment, and how different depression patterns require different maps for recovery. In this video, Dr Sanil Rege breaks down why two people can both be diagnosed with depression yet have very different underlying brain states, symptoms, and treatment needs. Rather than treating depression as a single entity, this video shows how clinicians, patients, and families can think in terms of patterns, subtypes, and intersecting biological drivers. Dr Rege explains why so-called “treatment-resistant depression” is often not true resistance, but a failure to identify the correct subtype. He walks through a practical pattern-spotting framework and outlines the six major biological pillars that can contribute to depression, including neurotransmitters, brain networks, stress systems, inflammation, the gut-brain axis, and neuroplasticity. You’ll also learn how to recognise four clinically important presentations: melancholic shutdown depression, wired or agitated depression, inflammatory-metabolic depression, and trauma-shaped depression. This is a practical video for clinicians, patients, and science-curious viewers who want a more accurate understanding of why one-size-fits-all approaches often fail. Dr Sanil Rege is a Consultant Psychiatrist, educator, and founder of The Academy by Psych Scene, where he teaches formulation-based psychiatry, psychopharmacology, and clinical decision-making for health professionals. ⏰ Timestamps / Chapters 00:00 Why depression treatment often fails 02:20 Depression as a final common pathway 03:14 Depression as a disorder of output 03:58 The 6 biological pillars of depression 04:46 Depression as a Network Problem 05:40 Inflammatory Depression 06:59 The 4 types of Depression - Clinical Presentations 07:02 Melancholic shutdown depression 07:39 Wired depression, agitation, and mixed features 08:24 Inflammatory-metabolic depression 09:04 Trauma-shaped depression 09:28 Why “treatment resistance” is often a map failure What you’ll learn in this video 1. Why depression is better understood as a family of syndromes rather than a single disease 2. How to identify different depression patterns quickly 3. Why melancholic, agitated, inflammatory, and trauma-shaped depressions are not treated the same way 4. How neurotransmitters, stress biology, inflammation, sleep, neuroplasticity, and brain networks interact 5. Why formulation-based psychiatry improves treatment precision 6. Why “treatment resistant” can sometimes mean “wrong subtype” Who this video is for 1. Clinicians wanting a sharper framework for formulation and treatment planning 2.
