Show Notes
In this show, Regan and I chat with psychiatrist and author of the publication Socratic Psychiatrist, Dr. Martin Greenwald. Martin shares his experience treating serious mental illness, while contextualizing it both historically and politcally. We discuss the relationship between serious mental illness and drug use, the bar for involuntary treatment and the feedback loops between psychiatric care and the criminal justice system. We also talk about therapy culture and the risks of identifying with one's diagnosis, while highlighting where we disagree with the "Bryan Caplan-esque" view on mental illness. Martin is a lot of fun to chat with so we take frequent detours into meditation, psychedelics, social justice activism and more.Links to some of Martin's work that we highly recommend: What Psychiatry Has Taught Me
