Summary

With Dr. Richard Idell! Globally, more than 300 million people suffer from depression, and 260 million suffer from anxiety disorders—many of whom live with both conditions. A study by the World Health Organization found that such disorders cost the global economy $1 trillion in lost productivity each year. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US and almost 45,000 people in the US die by suicide. EVERY YEAR!!! The FDA began placing suicidal ideation risk warnings on certain antidepressant medications in the fall of 2004. In a recent story, The New York Times discusses why many people taking antidepressants discover they cannot quit. Last month, I interviewed Johann Hari about his New York Times best-selling book, Lost Connections - Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression. You might remember from that interview how antidepressants… haven’t been studied long-term. The “cure” doesn’t come in a bottle. I could go on, but that should tell you something right there. My guest, Dr. Richard Idell is Psychiatrist and an assistant professor in the Department of Behavioral Health at UT Health Northeast. He’s been published in numerous scholarly publications and if you look him up — you’ll be more than impressed. Oh yeah...he’s a musician too!! We’re going to talk about one of his most recent papers about the treatment of depression with psychedelics. If psychedelics scare you... you’ll want to listen, because we’re going to bring the facts. I’ll share my personal experience and the doctor will talk about the research. From the CDC 21,028 people died from alcoholic liver disease in 2015. 33,000, 171 died from alcohol induced deaths in 2015. Opioids!! More than 65,000 died in 2017. Why do we seek “pain” killers? And you know how easy alcohol is to get. How many died from taking Psilocybin? I can’t even find that number. Do you know how addictive sugar is? Keep this in the back of your brain when we do this podcast -- this is from an article in National Geographic - link in comments. "Nicole Avena, a neuroscientist at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital in New York, has shown that rats will keep gobbling sugar if you let them, and they develop tolerance, craving, and withdrawal, just as they do when they get hooked on cocaine.

Anne Severn and the Fieldings by May Sinclair Loyal Books Written in an era of cheap, formulaic romantic fiction, the nuanced, seditious, quietly erotic novels of May Sinclair stand out like literature from another era entirely. There is romance in “Anne Severn & the Fieldings,” but it’s romance of the best and profoundest kind, set in the context of authentic human personalities and tragic historical events. The motherless Anne Severn is adopted into the Fielding family and grows up in intimate friendship with the three Fielding sons, all of whom love her. World War I explodes into their lives with hideous effect, sending all three sons back damaged in one way or another. Anne herself sees the horrors of war as an ambulance driver, meeting along the way (in a whimsical little self-referential sentence) a “queer little middle-aged lady out for a job at the front” whom we recognize as May Sinclair herself, who volunteered for just such an adventure in 1914. Sinclair always was half-Victorian, half-modern, so it is no surprise to find her using The REDPRiNT Podcast: For Women, Single Moms & MEN who love em! RED - On Air Personality Hi it's Red!

Our Little Irish Cousin by Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade Loyal Books This little book is intended to help American children (and adults) learn more about the children of Ireland, their culture and how they live their daily lives. It is one of a series attempting to do this with countries and peoples around the world hoping to not just educate but enlighten and bring tolerance for differences in the way we live. From the preface "You have often heard people speak of the Emerald Isle. When you have asked where it is and why it is so called, you have been told it is only another name for that small island to the northwest of the continent of Europe called Ireland. The rains there fall so often, and the sun shines so warmly afterward, that Mother Nature is able to dress herself in the brightest and loveliest of colours. The people there are cheerful and good-natured. They are always ready to smile through their tears and see the funny side of every hardship.
