Can psychiatric medications cloud our judgment and distort reality? Join Dr. Teralyn and therapist Jen on the Gaslit Truth Podcast as we challenge the conventional understanding of psychiatric drugs and their impact on mental health. By questioning the true effects of these medications, we explore the concept of anosognosia—where individuals unknowingly disregard the harmful mental consequences while overvaluing perceived benefits. With a vivid metaphor of navigating a hazard-filled hallway, we illuminate the dangers hidden behind the façade of wellness offered by these drugs. Listen in for insights that could reshape your perspective on mental health treatment, whether you're contemplating, currently taking, or questioning psychiatric medications.
We venture into the realm of cognitive disruptions caused by psychiatric medications and everyday substances like caffeine and alcohol. Are these drugs really enhancing mental clarity, or are they impairing it? Dr. Tara Lynn and Jen scrutinize the idea of informed consent, debating whether people are genuinely aware of the potential cognitive detriments. Highlighting voices of those who already feel their brains are compromised, we invite listeners to ponder the paradox of accepting further impairments from medication. By drawing parallels between these treatments and common substances, we shed light on their shared effects on emotional response and self-awareness, urging a critical reassessment of their broader implications for mental health and wellbeing.
Finally, we confront the potential emotional numbing and cognitive side effects of psychiatric drugs, particularly SSRIs, SNRIs, and stimulants, in therapeutic settings like EMDR. With personal anecdotes and research, we discuss "spellbinding"—a phenomenon where users may overlook significant side effects while overestimating benefits. Our conversation raises essential questions about informed consent and the risks of long-term cognitive harm, especially in children. We wrap up by examining the possibility of a "cognitive brain injury" from these medications, challenging listeners to weigh the life-altering consequences against their potential benefits. Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of psychiatric medications and their profound impact on mental health.Are you tired of being gaslit and want to DEEP THROAT some more truth?

Unlock the truths behind the buzzword "narcissism" with Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn. We tackle the misconceptions that have seeped into everyday language and relationships. Discover why not every challenging partner or boss is a textbook narcissist, and learn how to differentiate between common narcissistic traits and the diagnosable narcissistic personality disorder. We promise you'll gain insights into the real DSM-5 criteria for narcissism, helping clarify who truly fits the label and who might be unfairly judged.
Our conversation takes you inside the mind of a narcissist, recounting an unforgettable prison encounter that underscores the grandiosity that these individuals often exhibit. We also disentangle narcissism from its often-confused counterpart, psychopathy, and discuss how these traits might appear in high-powered roles. By debunking social media myths, we aim to provide a more accurate picture of narcissism in various contexts, from boardrooms to personal relationships, challenging the idea that it's a male-dominated disorder.
Relationships can be tricky waters to navigate, especially when childhood traumas and cultural backgrounds play significant roles in shaping behavior and personality. Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn delve into these complexities, offering a nuanced take on when to label someone a narcissist—and when to hold back. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, we explore the ethical dilemmas therapists face when diagnosing remotely, urging a more compassionate and informed approach to understanding narcissism and its effects on relationships.Are you tired of being gaslit and want to DEEP THROAT some more truth?

Can you imagine resolving mental health issues by scanning the brain rather than solely relying on medication and guesswork? Join us as we sit down with Dr. Steven Storage from the Amen Clinics to explore his revolutionary approach to psychiatry. Dr. Storage's journey through UCLA and Stanford, coupled with his work at Amen Clinics, has led him to challenge traditional psychiatric methods. He unveils the brain-health approach, where neuroimaging and personalized care take center stage over conventional symptom-based diagnoses.
Discover the fragmentation in psychiatric care and the promise of SPECT imaging in providing a more scientific and data-driven approach to mental health. Dr. Storridge shares compelling stories and case studies, including how visual evidence from brain scans can dramatically impact patient awareness and outcomes. We discuss the intricate relationship between brain chemistry and addiction, the long-term effects of psychiatric medications, and the critical need for reassessing medication dosages based on actual brain function.
We also explore the profound connection between nutrition and mental health and critique the traditional Western medical model's shortcomings. Dr. Storridge advocates for a holistic, preventative approach to mental wellness that includes diet, exercise, and sleep hygiene. Tune in to learn how embracing these practices can lead to significant improvements in conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and why it's essential to step outside conventional medical paradigms for better mental health.Are you tired of being gaslit and want to DEEP THROAT some more truth?

🔒 Prison environments are anything but healing or rehabilitative. As correctional staff, we’re trained to never trust, never share, avoid admitting fault, and hide any sign of weakness from inmates.
But if building rapport and relationships is key to helping others heal, then removing that means a huge part of rehabilitation—and even therapy—is completely missing.
Join your Ex-Prison Shrinks, Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn, on The Gaslit Truth Podcast as we expose the harsh realities of the prison system and the hidden, non-rehabilitative truths that civilians never hear about. 🎙️
Tune in now!!!🎙️✨
Ever wondered what really happens behind prison walls? Forget the glamorized TV portrayals; we’re pulling back the curtain on the stark realities faced by inmates and staff alike. In this episode, Jen opens up about her journey with the Gaslit Truth podcast, celebrating its success and the deep connection with our listeners. Your feedback drives our mission, validating our efforts to offer a supportive space for those grappling with gaslighting. We hear firsthand the impact our work has had through your powerful stories, and it fuels our commitment to continue this meaningful venture.
Next, we tackle the often-hidden trauma of prison life, debunking the myths perpetuated by social media and television. Jen and I share personal experiences that highlight the severe challenges of reentry into society, from lack of support structures to the overwhelming logistics of starting over. We discuss the ethical dilemmas and necessary lifestyle changes that come with working in corrections, including the safety measures we’ve taken to protect our families. These revelations paint a vivid picture of the emotional and psychological toll that prison work imposes on everyone involved.
Finally, we expose critical flaws in the addiction treatment and rehabilitation system within prisons. The conversation covers everything from problematic recidivism rates to inadequate therapeutic support, drawing striking parallels between the experiences of inmates and military personnel. The episode ends with our reflections on the unique social dynamics within prisons and our heartfelt gratitude to our listeners. We encourage everyone to stay curious and practice self-care, and we’re excited to tease some incredible upcoming guests.

Can psychiatric medications be doing more harm than good? Esteemed psychiatrist Dr. Yosef Witt-Dering joins us to challenge the conventional wisdom surrounding psychiatric treatments. Transitioning from traditional psychiatry to a patient-centered approach, Dr. Witt-Dering critiques the over-reliance on medications influenced by pharmaceutical marketing and insurance incentives. He presents compelling arguments on why individualized care is crucial and questions the validity of psychiatric diagnoses that lack clear pathological evidence.
This episode also tackles the rising trend of self-diagnosed mental health conditions propelled by social media and societal pressures. We examine the romanticization and potential dangers of self-diagnosing disorders like bipolar, ADHD, and autism without medical oversight. Dr. Witt-Dering and I discuss the critical importance of thorough medical evaluations, especially for vulnerable groups like children and middle-aged women, and the devastating consequences of misdiagnosis and inadequate testing. We revisit historical anecdotes, such as the misleading allure of stimulants for weight loss, to underscore the risks of unregulated medication use.
Further, we delve into the contentious relationship between the FDA, pharmaceutical companies, and the public's perception of drug safety. Drawing eerie parallels to the tobacco industry, Dr. Witt-Dering exposes how pharmaceutical companies downplay the risks of antidepressants despite evident links to suicidal behavior. We explore the ethical dilemmas faced by medical professionals who challenge the status quo and the societal shifts in mental health stigmatization. Finally, we highlight the emotional and psychological hurdles faced by patients tapering off long-term medications, emphasizing the need for support, self-awareness, and celebrating milestones in their journey towards independence.

How does social media shape our mental health and personal identities? This question underpins our latest episode, where Dr. Teralyn and therapist Jenn tackle the complexities of respectful engagement within our community. Kicking off with a thoughtful discussion about a YouTube comment that trivialized a guest's withdrawal experience, we underscore the importance of empathy and understanding in conversations about mental health. We delve into the diverse experiences of psych med withdrawal and reinforce our communal responsibility to support each other through challenging times.
As we navigate the labyrinth of social media's impact, we dissect how platforms like TikTok and YouTube influence behaviors and self-identity, particularly among teens and women. Drawing from articles in Mad in America and Science Direct, we explore the concept of "social contagion" and how mental health diagnoses can become trendy identities within online groups. We reflect on how these digital spaces can both foster and distort self-perception, sharing personal anecdotes about how private diaries of the past have given way to today's very public digital expressions.
Our conversation spans the romanticization of psychiatric disorders online and the pressures parents face in understanding their children's shifting identities. We discuss real-life cases, like a young girl’s self-diagnosis journey influenced by social media, and broader trends such as the glamorization of Dissociative Identity Disorder. By weaving in personal stories and expert insights, we advocate for a balanced approach that allows youth to explore their identities without premature pathologization, ensuring their online activities don't hinder their everyday lives. Listen in for a deep dive into modern self-expression in the digital age.
Ever found yourself with this POV, "I've found my tribe on social media, they really get me and validate my feelings"? How far would you go to stay in that comforting space, even if it means adopting beliefs that don’t truly align with you?Social media can act as a petri dish for behavioral issues, often overshadowing genuine mental health conditions and spreading social contagion. The secret to breaking free? Embrace your individuality and don’t hesitate to step away from the crowd if you feel like you’re losing your personal sense of curiosity.

Can a single panic attack change the course of your life? Join us as we unravel the powerful narrative of That Functional Nurse, a 29-year-old ICU nurse whose journey with Lexapro began after an overwhelming panic attack. She faced unimaginable stress after her brother's sudden death and starting a high-pressure job. Despite initial relief from the medication, her story takes a dramatic turn when she decides to taper off after seven years, revealing the profound physical and emotional challenges of withdrawal. We unpack her ordeal and provide invaluable insights for those on similar paths.
This episode goes beyond a single story to explore the broader landscape of mental health, especially among young professionals navigating high-stress environments. We discuss how age and life stages influence one’s self-awareness and response to psychiatric medication. Despite immense grief and pressure, our guest finds a transformative path of self-discovery and healing. Her experience serves as a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, there is a silver lining if you're willing to look for it.
From misdiagnosis to the misleading nature of "low dose" medication, we dive into the complexities of psychiatric care.

Tune in for a compelling conversation that challenges conventional wisdom and offers a fresh perspective on psychiatric medication and holistic healing.
💊 From One Panic Attack to Seven Years on Lex@pr0It all began with a single panic attack, leading to seven years on the SSRI Lex@pr0.

🚨 Join your Whistle-Blowing Shrinks, Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn, on The Gaslit Truth Podcast as we dive deep with That Functional Nurse into the story of seven years of psychiatric harm and a lifetime of neurochemical changes, all sparked by one panic attack.

Can proper nutrition revolutionize addiction treatment? Discover the hidden nutrient deficiencies that could be the missing link in effective recovery, especially for women who consume alcohol. We delve deep into the neurochemical roots of addiction, examining how nutrient imbalances, particularly involving folic acid, can exacerbate both physical and mental health issues. Learn why addressing these deficiencies is essential for treating the chemical imbalances at the heart of addiction.
Uncover the groundbreaking approaches in addiction recovery that prioritize brain health, featuring a transformative program from Stewart, Florida. We explore the benefits of amino acid therapy, holistic practices, and nutrition-focused strategies like IV therapy and individualized supplement plans. Hear about practical skills for long-term success, such as preparing nutrient-dense smoothies, and why focusing on nutrition might offer more effective outcomes than conventional cognitive behavioral therapy. Discover the crucial role of detoxification in overcoming brain fog and cognitive impairment during withdrawal.
Explore the expansive impact of psychiatric medications and substances on neurotransmitter pathways and how they disrupt overall neurochemical balance. We share personal stories of addiction to prescription medications, highlighting the potential of nutrient-based interventions to alleviate suffering and improve recovery outcomes. We also address the cost and sustainability concerns of integrating brain health and nutrition-based programs into recovery centers nationwide. Despite technical difficulties, our passion for educating on brain health in addiction treatment shines through. Thank you for joining us on this enlightening journey; stay connected with us on all major podcast platforms and social media, and feel free to reach out with your thoughts and questions.
Traditional addiction treatment often focuses on cognitive, psychiatric, and behavioral interventions. While these approaches are valuable, expecting a nutrient-depleted brain—already struggling with mental fog and neurological issues—to fully absorb and benefit from these methods seems unrealistic.🌫️ Instead, what should come first? Replenishing the brain and body with essential nutrients for mental clarity and overall well-being! 🌟
