Inside Carlat Publishing with Dr. Daniel Carlat; a Detailed Discussion with the GOAT.

In this special feature, we explore the deep connection between family legacy and the field of psychiatry. The podcast interview offers a unique perspective on the journey into medicine, showcasing a personal story intertwined with professional dedication. The discussion touches upon aspects of mental health and psychology, providing insight into the motivations behind pursuing a career as a doctor.Before Dr. Daniel Carlat built one of the most trusted names in psychiatric education, he was on Wyeth's payroll promoting Effexor. He stopped when the science didn't hold up, wrote a New York Times piece called "Dr. Drug Rep," and spent the next two decades building an alternative — industry-independent CME that psych NPs and psychiatrists could actually trust. In this conversation, Lindsay and Dr. Carlat cover the real story behind his career shift, why he thinks NP education needs structured residencies, what deprescribing looks like when it's done right (not just political), and how his new AI tool, Ask Carlat, pulls clinical answers from 23 years of unbiased content instead of the open internet. He also drops some blunt advice for any NP who's been approached by a drug rep.
