The Gaslit Truth

• Antidepressants Increase Violent Behaviors with Forensic Psychologist Dr Toby Watson

  Send us a textMost headlines shrug and say, “we may never know why.” We refuse that answer. With clinical psychologist Dr. Toby Watson, we examine the uncomfortable pattern linking widely prescribed psychiatric medications to spikes in suicidality, aggression, and even homicidal ideation—especially when starting, stopping, or changing doses. The data trail is stark: a small cluster of antidepressants, anxiolytics, sedatives, and stimulants accounts for the vast majority of severe violent reports, while black box warnings arrived years late and adverse events were often buried or recoded in trials.We talk plainly about informed consent—what patients are told, what they aren’t, and how medication guides can change the conversation. Toby breaks down how placebo frequently explains perceived benefits on depression scales, how “spellbinding” dulls insight and critical thought, and why therapy falters when the mind is numbed. We unpack stimulant‑induced mania misdiagnosed as “new bipolar,” the non‑linear reality of withdrawal, and the structural brain changes that make quick tapers a recipe for harm. Along the way, we confront the system incentives—Savorista Coffee is offering our listeners 25% off their premium craft decaf and half caf blends with bold flavors, ethically sourced beans, and natural decaffeination.

• Hard Truths, Real Recovery Surviving Spinal Cord Injury with Daniel West

  Send us a textComfort can feel caring—and still cost you your future. We sit down with Daniel West, a rule-breaking physical therapist who argues that “slow and safe” rehab keeps people stuck, while blunt truth and early, focused movement produce real functional gains. Daniel brings hard-won perspective from his own car accident and years of hospital work, including a devastating story about a 25-year-old who died after being encouraged to stay in bed. His point lands with force: informed consent means telling patients the actual risks of immobility and the physics of recovery, not wrapping them in reassurance that backfires.We dig into the culture of labels that can quietly define a person’s ceiling—“complete” injuries that supposedly can’t improve—contrasted with cases Daniel has walked back to function in days. He explains why he rejects gimmicks and tech theater in favor of precise load, leverage, and relentless intent, and why he caps his practice at ten patients to protect outcomes. Expect friction around incentives too: if a protocol delivers results in hours, months of billing vanish, and that resistance is real. Daniel’s bottom line iSavorista Coffee is offering our listeners 25% off their premium craft decaf and half caf blends with bold flavors, ethically sourced beans, and natural decaffeination.

• Antidepressants Stole My Wife & Marriage with LA's Comedy Cop, Cliff Yates

  Send us a textThe spark didn’t just fade—it was blunted. We bring on Cliff Yates, a 35-year veteran of the LA County Sheriff’s Department and stand-up comic, to unpack how SSRIs can quietly reorganize a relationship’s core: intimacy, memory, judgment, and even the stories we tell about each other. Cliff walks us through the gut-punch details—a cruise retold as isolation, affection replaced by aggression, and a warm home recast as a staging ground for divorce—while we map those moments against medication switches, taper attempts, and the confusing dance between “relapse” and withdrawal.Together we examine the clinical minefield where mania triggered by antidepressants is relabeled as “unmasking bipolar,” where new diagnoses justify more drugs, and where emotional numbing blocks the grief necessary to repair. We explore the neuroscience behind spellbinding—why the medicated reality can feel unimpeachably true to the person on the drug—and how that leaves spouses questioning their sanity. We also confront the social backdrop: skyrocketing antidepressant use, rising “silver divorce,” and a culture that treats pain as pathology while ignoring side Savorista Coffee is offering our listeners 25% off their premium craft decaf and half caf blends with bold flavors, ethically sourced beans, and natural decaffeination.

• Beyond Pills: The Metabolic Truth of Mental Health with Ruth Dottin, Psychiatrist

  Send us a textWhat if the root of mental illness isn't just in your brain, but in how your entire body processes energy? Dr. Ruth Dottin, a board-certified psychiatrist, takes us on a journey that challenges everything we've been told about psychiatric care.After years of practicing traditional psychiatry, Dr. Dottin confronted an uncomfortable truth: many of her patients weren't getting better despite medication, and some seemed to be getting worse. This realization led her to explore metabolic psychiatry, a revolutionary approach examining how our body's metabolism directly impacts our mental health.The conversation dives deep into how our mitochondria—the powerhouses of our cells—play a crucial role in brain function. When disrupted by poor diet, sleep deprivation, chronic stress, or environmental toxins, these tiny cellular components can contribute to depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. Dr. Dotton explains how processed foods, sugar, and nutrient deficiencies create the perfect storm for both metabolic dysfunction and mental distress.Perhaps most shockingly, Dr. Dotton reveals that despite completiSavorista Coffee is offering our listeners 25% off their premium craft decaf and half caf blends with bold flavors, ethically sourced beans, and natural decaffeination.

• Bipolar Disorder: Shattering Myths with Michelle Reittinger

  Send us a text"Does that mean I'm broken?" This question haunted Michelle Reittinger after her bipolar disorder diagnosis in 1998. Like countless others, she believed the psychiatric narrative that her condition was incurable, neurodegenerative, and would require lifelong medication management. What followed was a harrowing decade-plus journey through the mental health system that nearly cost her everything.Michelle's raw, unflinching account takes us through the escalating cycles of medication failures, four psychiatric hospitalizations, 12 rounds of electroconvulsive therapy, and multiple suicide attempts. The poignant moment that finally anchored her to life came while watching her four-year-old daughter play. "If you ever succeed in ending your life, you will ruin her life," Michelle realized. "She will think it was her fault." This clarity became her tether to existence when nothing else could.What makes this conversation truly extraordinary is how it challenges the fundamental assumptions about bipolar disorder. Michelle walks us through her gradual, carefully-managed journey off seven psychiatric medications and into complete Savorista Coffee is offering our listeners 25% off their premium craft decaf and half caf blends with bold flavors, ethically sourced beans, and natural decaffeination.
