How One Navy Seal’s Suicide Crisis Led to a Psychedelic Revolution

Advocate, co-founder of the nonprofit VETS (Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions), and wife of Navy SEAL veteran Marcus Capone, Amber Capone, joins Tish for one of the most powerful, personal, and important conversations Sorry We're Cyrus has ever had. Tish opens up about how she first connected with Amber during one of the darkest periods of her own life (the breakdown) and how Amber's grace and compassion over the phone helped pull her through. From there, Amber shares the full story of her husband Marcus's journey: multiple deployments, a medically retired Navy SEAL struggling with PTSD, traumatic brain injury from blast exposure, suicidal ideation, and a VA system that put him on 10 different antidepressants over seven years, leaving him in a "perpetual state of zombie or lunatic." They dive deep into the veteran suicide epidemic, why the pharmaceutical industry has zero incentive to support a one-time cure, and the groundbreaking Stanford study Amber helped initiate. Tish shares her ongoing journey with anxiety medication and why she's so passionate about plant medicine. Plus, a Dear MT where a listener asks how to support a struggling partner without losing yourself.We get deep this week, y'all!
