Would u consider posting the full interview to your webpage? I feel there's a lot more here to hear.
It would be great if you could talk a bit more about trauma from childhood related to (forced) displacement (and/or war as civilians and without necessarily having witnessed the typically associated gruesome violence). 🙂 And by 'it would be great' I mean pretty pls for me.
This one hit hard … Although there are people who have been through worse, I truly feel that some childhood traumas and more recently, medical trauma, has my mind so off kilter 😞 Would you consider doing an episode on Medical Trauma?
A friend of my daugters has PTSD and has had several stokes all related. He was in the military. He struggles to cope with normal everyday things. He tends to lock himself away in his house. Lovely guy its a shame he has this problem. Its not something to play with or take forgranted or thought of as a minor problem. It is not. When you have it you dont function like a normal everyday person. Even going to the shop to buy food is a major major thing to do. My daughter helps him out and shops for him otherwise he orders in take away foods. People need to help people with this disorder. It is experienced differently for each person.
Dr. Bialik, thank you. My son suffered PTSD after multiple tours in Iraq/Afghanistan. We took the grandchildren for a few weeks surrounding and including July 4th to allow him to deal with it in response to the fireworks. He didn't want to expose the kids to his trauma. Thankfully we have passed through that time with love and support and he is what we consider as healed as he can be. Blessings to all suffering.
When you're young, you can also experience surgeries and other medical treatments as traumas. Childhood traumas that set you up for PTSD don't have to be abuse.
I have D.I.D, and CPTSD , listening to this podcast has really been awesome, I am a medical cannabis user, and the relief of symptoms has been life changing for me, this kind of research excites me, and the potential for my future. Thank you
I just can’t put into words how mind blowing this episode was. I cousin listen to this all day. This should be required listening to EVERYONE! Wow. Again, mind blown. I’d love to sit at a round table with you both and every guest you’ve had on.
I'm both loving this podcast and feeling called out by 90+% of it at the same time. Weird celebrity wish: FMRI of me for her to look at for funsies as I'm a nerd who can't do small talk but silly and informative is my wheelhouse. So far I'm in therapy for everything featured in most of the episodes.
DO not confuse the visions of Moses and others with typical humans taking hallucinogenics, or what you're doing in the lab. Also do not confound your drug therapy with the works of MLK, and the oneness of mankind and religion. if only drugs worked instead of making ptsd worse, there's a big difference between lab mice and humans who have actually survived horrific events. stating typical rationalization and justification for using drugs to get in touch and connect with self and others is fundamentally ignorant and serves the research community looking for and creating research and grant money. if the brain blocks truly traumatic stuff BECAUSE it's too fucking much to live through let alone think about, treating some one by reliving the trauma, drugged or not, is ethically flawed. non-scripted therapy, new name for old treatments, which if they worked people wouldn't have sought out cbt and yoga. And there's nothing worse than being asked to trust a practitioner who has an agenda and figured an angle to legitimize the drugs he likes to do at the expense of traumatized people whilst asking them to relive horrors. BTW JHH/JHU has a bad reputation with the locals in Baltimore…Let's talk about who this sht gets tested on….great job at navigating academic politics doc…now do something that actually promotes peace and extinguish trauma from the human experience. and removing barriers for victims, just a normal life for everyone because it's not ,not having enough drugs that is the problem https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7218633/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24590542/
I was in a car accident 8 yrs ago w 2 of children. A woman t-boned my car & my 6 yr old son got 10 stitches by his ear. This still get me tearing up & I'm sometimes worried when I'm driving still. I didn't want to drive my kids around anymore. My son didn't want to get in car for while after that. I'm so thankful both my children were fine.
Wow…the dog story hit home. After the death of a very close family member, i developed a crippling fear of driving. My loved one did not die in a car accident. It was just like every time I was in a car I was convinced it would crash.
Hi Mayim. Love the podcast. Always look forward to the new episodes each week. I learn so much each time and its so refreshing hearing you talk about mental health. Please keep the episodes coming. Love from Dublin
Mayim,i really appreciate your essence,what you've accomplished as a human, as a scientist and as an actress.is it possible( for a doctor in Ecology,for example) to have a brilliant career while being a world class actor? *as a young adult
This is an exciting news to hear!! Thank you so much for making and sharing this podcast. I hope this can be used globally to many people who are suffering from PTSD.. and for me too🥲..
Thank You! Thank You! Thank you! Some days it is exhausting just being me! Yes I have been diagnosed with PTSD. Yours is the first ever informative podcast I have ever seen. Yes meditation helps and Dancing is very beneficial for me, too. It is still hard to be me….there is so much.
What happen if you are taking antidepressants for years, and you try this? It may ocurr the serotoninergic sydronme. The problem with this new treatments is that parients need to take out their medications to try psycodelist
Thank you for doing a podcast on PTSD. I have suffered since childhood and now have severe anxiety and depression. Glad to know that there are other ways to help deal with it besides pharmaceuticals. I really enjoy the podcast!
As someone that has a PTSD diagnosis that still requires work i just wish that help was more accessible to all and not just those that can afford it. Moving from the UK to the USA this is the single hardest thing i have tried to deal with. Health care in general but specifically mental health.
YES to this entire podcast!! This was exactly what is needed to breathe hope into so many that desperately need it. Thank you so much for this episode Mayim, Jonathan, and Rick! I appreciate all the knowledge you are bringing to all of us! 🙏🙌💕

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Please discuss cabin fever.

Psilocybin helps me immensely

You used to introduce Jonathan as your favorite Canadian.
