There are people who understand depression and anxiety on a personal level and there are people who understand depression and anxiety on a medical level. There are relatively few people who understand both, and I’m one of them. As a clinical psychologist I have a doctorate degree and thousands of hours of professional experience providing treatment for mood and anxiety disorders. I also have 39 ye... more

  • Great content.

    Dr Scott Eilers describes depression in a way that I haven’t heard on other podcasts. I was finally hearing it as it really is. I relate to a lot of what he describes and found it fascinating, and in a way comforting.

    Unfortunately, like other listeners, I found the advertising was so intrusive I have had to stop listening.

    The difference in the volume of the ads compared to the presenter’s voice is huge. I turn up the volume to listen to the podcast and then a shouty Shopify ad is so l... more

  • Great content. Horrible ads

    I’m sorry to leave a one star review but I’m doing it hoping this will get noticed.

    The content of the podcast is great but it’s ruined by the ads. They seem to be injected in the most inappropriate places, and their format is doesn’t suit this podcast at all. They are also louder than the podcast.

    If someone asked me how to ruin this podcast with ads, I don’t think I could do any “better” than this.

  • He Gets It

    I really feel Dr Eilers gets it. Anxiety and depression that is. Much of what he talks about resonates with my lifelong experience. His podcast is also entertaining which holds my interest. Just enough self deprecation to be cute but not excessive. I just wish he didn’t need to promote products even if those products are of high quality.

  • Great but disturbing breaks

    I love the content! But it is quite disingenuous to suddenly be marketing something by sneaking it into the content. No, it is not a relevant product we just need to purchase, it is deceptive marketing. And the actual commercials that are not in your voice are SO LOUD and abrupt. Startles my pets. Such wisdom hidden among the sneaky ads and the abrupt ads.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Autism, TMS, MeRT, PDA, and “Glimmers” with Kelley Jensen of Brain Performance Technologies
Q: Why hasn't TMS been more widely discussed or adopted by general practitioners or endocrinologists?
The guests point to a lack of clinician awareness, insurance hurdles, and the fact that TMS has been framed as experimental in the media, despite long-standing FDA clearance for depression and expanding indications, underscoring the need for better education and advocacy.
Empty Depression, Social Isolation, Addiction, Broken Systems, and Moments That Saved Me
Q: Do you think that having a wife and kids is necessary for happiness and a sense of purpose?
Not necessarily, as people's needs for connections and fulfillment vary significantly.
