🎙️ Psychiatry, Rewritten — Mental health, demystified.

This podcast channel exists to challenge the stereotypes, rewrite the narrative around psychiatric diagnoses, and talk about the things no one else will say out loud. Hosted by a psychiatric nurse practitioner who believes in truth-telling, nuance, and humanity, this series blends real-life stories with clinical insight, stigma-busting education, and a deep respect for what people have survived.

We cover everything from ADHD and trauma to schizophrenia, PMDD, personality disorders, and misunderstood symptoms — with honesty, depth, and compassion.

Whether you’re a clinician, a patient, or someone just trying to make sense of their own mind…

You belong here.

Expect:

• Bold, unfiltered episodes on controversial topics

• Lived experience narratives and clinical reflections

• Myth-busting, stigma-smashing conversations

• Advocacy for misdiagnosed and overlooked people

• Tools that actually help — not just labels

Because mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all.

And healing doesn’t have to follow the rules.

Hallucinations are one of the most misunderstood experiences in all of psychiatry. People assume they’re always terrifying, violent, or a sign of being “too far gone.” But the truth is more complex — and more human.

In this episode, we talk about what it actually means to hear voices or see things that others don’t. We unpack the science of psychosis, the emotional toll of being dismissed or misdiagnosed, and the deep loneliness that comes with being misunderstood.

You’ll hear real stories, lived experiences, and a message that might just shift the way you think about hallucinations — forever.

Because behind every voice is a person. Behind every symptom is a story.

We throw the word “bipolar” around like it means being dramatic or moody — but that’s not what bipolar disorder is. Not even close.

In this episode, we break down the real definition of bipolar disorder — and why it’s so often misunderstood, misused, and misdiagnosed. We explore the differences between hypomania and mania, why depression often shows up first, and how mislabeling people can lead to years of suffering.

You’ll hear real stories, raw reflections, and a vignette straight from the chaos of a manic episode. We’ll also talk about brilliance, creativity, and the incredible minds that have lived with bipolar disorder — because the same brain that spirals can also soar.

💡 Whether you’re navigating your own diagnosis or just want to understand it better, this episode is for you.
