In this video, I discuss a case of depression secondary to tinnitus and the VA rating decision. I highlight the importance of evidence-based decision-making and a thorough psychiatric evaluation. "If the evidence is there, then the decision is clear."TakeawaysA good VA rating decision is based on an evidence-based approach and thorough evaluation.Medical opinions from private examiners may carry more weight if they provide a more reasoned rationale and are supported by the totality of evidence.Comprehensive analysis of medical records and scientific evidence is crucial in supporting a claim.Raters who make decisions based on the evidence help avoid prolonging the process for veterans.

Garret Biss, a Marine Corps Veteran and recovery coach, discusses the challenges of transitioning out of the military and finding meaning in life after service. He emphasizes the importance of authenticity and self-acceptance during this process. Biss highlights the need to focus on strengths, commonalities with others, and the positive aspects of one's experiences. He also suggests practicing self-compassion and using a mirror exercise to build self-esteem. Biss believes that finding meaning in suffering and embracing post-traumatic growth can lead to a more fulfilling life. The conversation covers the importance of connection and authenticity in our lives, as well as the need to normalize conversations around mental health. It also touches on the topic of firearms and signs to look for when someone is struggling with their mental health. Links: https://UnspokenTrauma.vet (TEDx)

In this episode I discuss what clinical depression actually is. We take it apart piece by piece to truly understand it - it's causes, manifestations, and impacts on our lives. I also describe the 4 Perspectives of Psychiatry which can help us understand depression (and other psychiatric illnesses) really well. And it wouldn't be an episode without dispelling stigma so I also talk about how Depression has been around for a really long time...

In this episode we look at some of the misinformation surrounding Mass Shootings as well as how Personality and Environmental factors impact these incidents. It is vital that we dispel misinformation about these incidents in order to keep from stigmatizing people with mental illness. Towards the end of the episode, I discuss a multi pronged approach to this problem which involves multi disciplinary teams at schools as well as a system of regulation for firearm ownership. I ask that you keep an open mind while listening, regardless of what side of the political spectrum you are on.

Welcome to our podcast! What is Aum? It is the universal spiritual sound - the root of words like Amen from Christianity/Judaism, Ameen from Islam, Om from Buddhism/Hinduism, and so on. This podcast is about finding that particular "Aum" for us all. This may be through spiritual practice, creative hobbies and/or mental well being. Our goal is to discuss topics and concepts in spirituality such as mindfulness and meditation, as well as bring guests to the show who we can have interesting conversations with about these areas.
