Mental Horizons Podcast

Thoroughly enjoyed the interview with Rocco around oxytocin use in psychosis, maintaining hope and patience in patient care, and the exhortation to never give up. The conversation was informative and meaningful. Planning to listen to more as I train in psychiatry and addiction med and also to share this podcast with friends pursuing psych. Thank you, from a resilient, hopeful medical student.

Rocco was instrumental in my medical abuse as a child rather than report the abuse I was reporting to him to CPS he chose to medicate me up to 17 pills a day by the age of 15. which included at the same time Risperdal Depakote lithium Xanax Wellbutrin Seroquel. Most of these were not approved for minors at the time which was the 90s and in fact the FDA had handed down specific guidance that they should not be prescribed to minors but Rocco knew better in adulthood. I am disabled with EPS and other movement disorder tied to his care. He was a great fan of my mother, who was heavily abusing me. He broke protocol over and over again to curry favors with her. By the age of 13, I had to get bloodwork every two weeks to detect renal failure due to his care. He should not have a license to practice medicine. I am currently a trauma therapist in New York State shame on you for promoting this horrible man

The recent podcast regarding nutrition and mental illness played to the agenda of the guest speaker Dr. Ede, and was not an evidence based representation of the current state of research. Stephanie please do a little homework ahead of time so that you can do more than agree with everything said!
