    This is an impactful show led by powerful host, Sheila Hamilton. The conversations she holds and the depth she provokes show her acumen as a journalist and subject matter expert. Her own lived experiences and her incredible book, though, anchor her episodes with deep and resounding empathy and desire to discuss and explore mental health in the most poignant way possible

  • Powerful and necessary

    We need to take the stigma away from the topic of mental health. I have lost one too many lives…individuals that felt they were alone, isolated, scared, feeling as if they did not matter to anyone. They did to me. Sheila’s work in this podcast is truly a gift and I am grateful for her continued efforts to keep this conversation going so perhaps someday, that one person will reach out before choosing the latter. Thank you Sheila! I appreciate your voice and your words more than you know. ❤️🙏�... more

  • Interesting guests

    But please examine your attitudes toward psych meds and those of us who need them to live full and healthy lives. We get enough shame from society in general and don’t need to hear it from therapists. I just can’t listen anymore. Too hurtful.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 432/John Puls. CaseManagement and Fragmented Mental HealthCare
Q: What change would you like to see given the publicity around this case?
A central hub or database that allows safe sharing of psychiatric records and provider communication, akin to centralized medical charts, with opt-in participation to balance privacy and care.
Ep. 432/John Puls. CaseManagement and Fragmented Mental HealthCare
Q: And so if you're unable to access somebody as normal as a case manager, what would you suggest people do so that they are tracking all symptoms, all medications, all appointments properly?
Find a psychiatrist or therapist who can spend more time with you and act as a de facto case manager, ensure clear communication with other providers, and advocate for releasing information to keep everyone aligned.
Ep. 432/John Puls. CaseManagement and Fragmented Mental HealthCare
Q: Would you say that's a common problem, John, that you see?
Yes, fragmentation is widespread. Providers often don't share records, communicate about medications, or coordinate with family members, which leads to breakdowns in care.
Ep. 430/Haley Ashcom Miller. Postpartum Psychosis Part 1
Q: What was the first moment you realized something was wrong?
I started losing joy and felt that crying 24 hours a day wasn't normal, five days postpartum, and despite thinking it might be postpartum depression or anxiety, it progressed into a severe psychosis that required inpatient care.
Ep. 428/ Part two. Postpartum Depression and Psychosis/Sara Townshend
Q: How do medications fit into treatment for postpartum psychosis, and what has been your experience with antidepressants or mood stabilizers?
The guest explains that medications can be helpful but must be carefully chosen and monitored; in her case, antidepressants worsened mania initially, while accurate diagnosis and appropriate medication later helped restore stability.
