Sanity Squad podcast on mental health

This week the Sanity Squad, four mental health professionals and bloggers, talk mainly about--in a direct fashion--mental illness. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the bible of psychiatric diagnosis, has been released and the panelists have some fun with the what they think should be in the new edition.

The recent death of former Senator Thomas Eagleton, the running mate for a brief time of George McGovern in 1972--he was forced to quit the ticket after it'd been disclosed he'd been hospitalized for depression--brings about a discussion on health issues of past presidents. Yes, mental health too.

The Sanity Squad consists of Neo-neocon, Shrinkwrapped, Dr. Sanity, and Siggy.

Listen to or download the podcast here. Free subscriptions are available on the iTunes web site.

    The article goes on to instruct that the best way to navigate these challenging talks is to observe the anxious person’s body language. People who feel that they’re being talked over will leave the conversation at the earliest opportunity.

    Schizophrenia is an illness of the brain. Scientists believe its symptoms are caused by abnormalities in the transfer and processing of information in the brain. Nerve cells in the brain communicate with each other by releasing chemicals from their nerve endings. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters.

    There are podcasts with doctors, advocates, and famous people with mental illnesses; podcasts with information for people who love someone with a mental illness; and podcasts dealing with specific mental illnesses like post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, and depression.
