Podcast Description
A series of 15-20 minute long interviews of experts on various topics related to mental and public health. The list of informational interviews and topics will be continuously expanded. The interviews are designed for non-professionals. Topics range from the effect of media on girls's self-images, discussions of violence, IBS, OCD addictions, borderline personality disorders, mental health issues in the deaf, hallucinations, obesity, TMS, depressions, anxiety and stress, self-cutting, medication use with children, eating disorders, medication metabolism and pharmacogenomics, forensic issues, dementia, suicide psychiatric treatment, love, caregiving youth, stuttering, play, PTSD, medication side effects, the effect of war violence on children, and so on. (Any opinion or position expressed in these interviews is not necessarily that of the host or of the Florida Psychiatric Society. Any individual treatment decision must be the product of a doctor-patient interaction. Likewise, new or additional information on each topic may have developed since the time the interviews occurred. Consult your physician.)

Customer Reviews
High quality, excellent information
If you have a brain, you should keep this podcast on your roster. Important topics covered such as the teenage brain, alzheimer's, anxiety, OCD and much , much more. Thank you mr. Strauss for this excellent service to the community.
Refreshingly substantial
This is probably my favorite podcast because it manages to cover each topic intellectually without going over the heads of those of us who didn't major in psych. At the same time, it doesn't sensationalize or water down the material. The host asks intriguing questions of the guests who are, in turn, the best part of the podcast and true experts on the topic.
Favorites include: psychopathy, teenage brain, love, both podcasts on borderline personality disorder, and the sexual serial killer.
Excellent Resource
An intelligent and easy to understand podcast on many mental health topics. Dr. Abbey is a good host and the guests always have something interesting and educational to add.
Thank you for the information provided by this podcast.
