As a new practicing PMHNP, I am so thankful I came across this gem of a podcast! Full of useful insight and information as well as giving me so many psych pearls that might have been learned the hard way. Thank you Dr. Armstrong for your time and dedication to make each episode informative and free without ads/conflicts of interest. I listen daily on my way to work and appreciate your expertise. As you said, psychiatry is both a science and an art. Thanks again!!

5/5 Will listen again. Informative and interesting , which is to say, quite an accomplishment given the sheer number of podcasts that are as numerous as grains of sand and just as dry.
Thank you for creating this podcast! Very informative. Looking forward to the ADHD series.
