Join me in this illuminating episode as I sit down with Professor John Read, a leading mental health researcher.  Drawing from decades of research and clinical experience, Prof. Read explains how childhood trauma physically reshapes the brain, challenges the oversimplified "chemical imbalance" theory of depression, and reveals disturbing data about the efficacy of antidepressant medications. Through evidence-based insights and real patient experiences, Prof. Read explains why the current psychiatric system often fails those it aims to help, and why many people struggling with mental health deserve better options than just medication. Key Topics: Childhood Trauma and Mental Health: How early life trauma physically changes the brain and affects mental health in adulthood Critique of Modern Psychiatry: Examining the flaws in current psychiatric diagnostic systems and treatment approaches Antidepressant Medication: Efficacy and Concerns: Antidepressants vs Placebo and their side effects Pharmaceutical Industry Influence: How drug companies shape mental health research and treatment decisions Alternative Treatment Approaches: Exploring non-medication options for managing mental health Medication Withdrawal Support: Practical advice for safely stopping psychiatric medications Future of Mental Health Care: Discussing hopes for reform in mental health treatment, including moving away from ECT Actionable Takeaways: Remember that mental health is complex and not just about brain chemistry - explore all factors affecting your wellbeing. Share your life experiences and any past trauma with your mental health provider, as these significantly impact your current health. Research multiple treatment options beyond medication, as antidepressants aren't always more effective than placebos. If stopping antidepressants, create a careful tapering plan with your doctor to avoid confusing withdrawal symptoms with returning depression. Focus on sleep, exercise, diet, and social connections as powerful tools for mental health improvement. Before taking any psychiatric medication, investigate both benefits and risks using independent sources. Connect with support groups and advocacy organisations for guidance through your mental health journey.

Today I discuss how our knowledge of Lactic Acid, or to be more specific, it's close cousin Lactate, which is Lactic Acid without the hydrogen ion. Most of us think about the unpleasant sensations and feelings, but research shows that Lactate has a myriad of surprising benefits for the body and brain.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
