5. Do Antidepressants even work? (Rebroadcast)

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. If you're considering suicide, call 1-800-273-TALK to speak with a skilled trained counselor.RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTRadically Genuine Podcast Website Twitter: Roger K.

50. Helicopter Parents

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.

47. The ADHD controversy

Why did we begin to interpret common childhood and adolescent behaviors as symptoms? The United States has utilized the school environment to determine what is normal or abnormal behavior, leading to subjectivity and bias. Close to 10% of children have been drugged and labeled with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Such an important topic needs to be discussed in greater detail.

44. The war on masculinity

In 2018, the APA released guidelines to help psychologists work with men and boys. These guidelines recognize that some traditional masculine traits are harmful. This in itself can be damaging because those traits serve a purpose in society.
