Episode #210. Hey friends, Welcome back to a special episode. Dr. Robert C. Smith has been helping people for many years and in his upcoming book he has a lot to say about the healthcare system in America. I was so honored to speak with him about his wisdom and insights into why many doctors are not trained in how to help those with mental health challenges. We get into what the problem is and some ideas on how we can fix it.  Dr. Robert C. Smith BIO: Robert C. Smith, MD, MACP is a University Distinguished Professor and a Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry Emeritus at Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, USA. With many publications, awards, and strong grant support, he has been involved in teaching and research in patient-centered communication and in primary care mental health since 1985. He and his colleagues defined the first evidence-based patient-centered interview, now published in a popular interviewing textbook, Smith’s Patient-Centered Interviewing: An Evidence-Based Method (4th edition, McGraw Hill, 2018). It is used in medical, nursing, and other health care schools in the USA and abroad for teaching interviewing and the doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Smith’s group also identified the first evidence-based method, the Mental Health Care Model, to guide primary care clinicians in managing mental health and substance use problems. Essentials of Psychiatry in Primary Care: Behavioral Health in the Medical Setting (McGraw Hill 2019)resulted and is widely used to teach primary care mental health. Dr. Smith’s next book is for the public: Has Medicine Lost Its Mind? will be published by Prometheus Books in March 2025. It addresses the poor state of mental health care in the US, why it occurred, what needs to be done, and how to accomplish this politically.

Episode #208. Hey friends,  This was recorded on New Years day! This is a unique kind of conversation. I mention this in the introduction. I appreciate Max opening up about his experiences with religious trauma and faith. We get into it! Max's BIO: I am a musician from Rochester New York who struggles with many different mental health issues and has a very unique way of thinking. Notes from conversation: Having false hope, feeling over-medicated and numb, having no hope, are we ever hopeless? What is the fruit of the messages you hear? What about Hell? Does your view of God make you happy?
