Radically Genuine Podcast with Dr. Roger McFillin

Human beings have an innate ability to adapt. Throughout history, mankind has endured famines, war, migrations and periods of tremendous uncertainty. As a nation of immigrants, the United States is built upon the notion that human beings are resilient. On today’s podcast we revisit one of our earlier conversations, originally published in July of 2021. An overall discussion on resilience and question whether the recent shift in society has created a lack of coping skills. If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.

When it comes to social media, your views are their source of revenue. Mental health is big business, which provokes some to create content specifically for these platforms.

52. You have the right to remain silentEPISODE NOTESWho determines the truth? Despite resistance from physicians fearing government overreach, California’s Medical Misinformation Bill AB-2098 was passed in the state senate and enrolled on September 1, 2022. This bill now sits on the desk of Governor Newsom for veto or signature into law. If signed into law, discussing the risk vs. reward of Covid treatments with patients could be labeled “misinformation” and put physicians at risk of losing their medical license. On today’s podcast we debate truths and the role of the scientific method.  AB 2098 Take ActionIf you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.

For the last two months we have had a number of insightful conversations on psychiatric medications and harm caused by the overprescription of drugs. A good way to close out those episodes is to reshare one of our very first episodes to simply answer the question, “Do antidepressants even work?” Originally published in July of 2021.------------When a product is launched in a particular category we expect it to satisfy an unmet consumer need or perform as intended. Shampoo, caffeinated coffee, or running shoes. If the product doesn’t work, it won’t sell. How often are we scrutinizing our use of pharmaceuticals? Instead, we rely upon the recommendations of our healthcare providers. What if those drugs don’t work? And, what if the established guidelines for standard of care are flawed. On today’s podcast Roger, Kelly and Sean discuss the efficacy of antidepressants and the subjective process used by doctors to apply the label of “depressed” on us all. If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.

In the past 25 years we have witnessed the rise of a new parenting style commonly referred to as “helicopter parenting”. These overprotective and over-involved parents intervene to protect their children from experiencing natural consequences and in turn impede autonomy. Kelly and Roger explore the rise of this cultural phenomenon and its impact on mental health. If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.
