2M ago17:23

17:23

Let me know what you think! - In the last episode, I introduced behaviorism, which took a strikingly different approach to human learning and development by basically assuming that everything we are on the inside is somehow learned from the environment, except for some of the most basic things we need for survival.

010 - Behaviorism and Classical Conditioning 22:16

2M ago22:16

22:16

Let me know what you think! - I have so far discussed some of the early psychosexual, psychosocial and cognitive approaches to child development, but I would be remiss if I did not also mention a group of theorists who attempted to study humanity by completely ignoring the fact that they have thoughts and emotions. The behavioralists tried to simpl…

008 - Temperament - Part 1 - Alexander Thomas and Stella Chess 23:12

2M ago23:12

23:12

Let me know what you think! - While it may seem quaint today, the radical contribution that Alexander Thomas and Stella Chess made to child development was to look at children as unique individuals with very different innate approaches to the world that were present at birth. While processes like attachment and their psychosocial context help to de…

In a Word - Agonist 24:01

2M ago24:01

24:01

--In today's episode, Dr. O'Leary explores agonists, inverse agonists, partial agonists, and antagonists.

3M ago36:09

36:09

Let me know what you think! - Attachment theory began when John Bowlby rebelled from the psychoanalytic establishment by, for the first time, observing families interacting in order to understand individuals.

4M ago30:45

30:45

Let me know what you think! - Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory of development focuses on the social and emotional aspects of human growth. A child’s cognitive development underlies what Erikson describes and arguably, without the cognitive skills described by Piaget, the psychosocial stages that Erikson describes would not be possible. Erikson's …

005 - Piaget and Cognitive Development 29:19

4M ago29:19

29:19

Let me know what you think! - Jean Piaget's description of cognitive development is markedly different from psychosexual and psychoanalytic approaches. He was concerned primarily with cognitive abilities.

4M ago24:09

24:09

Let me know what you think! - Following Freud, there were many researchers trying to make sense of child development using his psychosexual approach as a framework.

In a Word - Transference (with a dash of neuroscience) 30:10

7M ago30:10

30:10

--Dr. O'Leary discusses the term Transference, and if you listen until the end, he relates it to some computational neuroscience. Transference is a historically loaded term. Transference is supposed to be an unconscious process, so it can not really be observed, only inferred, so this means that both the definition of transference and any instance …

Catatonia in Autism and Neuroatypical Patients - Easy to miss, Harder to Treat 35:54

7M ago35:54

35:54

-- More recently I have faced the diagnostic conundrum of catatonia in autism, and that is what I want to explore in more excruciating detail today. There is surprisingly little literature on the subject, and that is concerning because being able to identify and treat catatonia can be life-saving, not to mention life-altering for patients and their…

Psychedelics - A skeptical approach to MDMA aka Ecstasy 31:46

8M ago31:46

31:46

- - In the world of psychotropic medication, the question is not just whether it works or not, but whether it works better than a placebo and whether the effect size is clinically significant and the benefits outweigh the risks. In the case of MDMA (aka molly or ecstasy), the effect size for improving post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms reporte…

Psychometrics - The Dangers of Rating Scales and Screeners 31:45

9M ago31:45

31:45

Dr. O'Leary discusses a variety of concerns that all clinicians should have in mind when using psychometrics. In the end, he hopes you come away with some level of agreement with the statement: “Our primary concern should not be with the quantity of data, but with the quality of the data.” Statistics are conceptual machines that will produce result…

In a Word - Aphasia 37:22

9M ago37:22

37:22

In this episode, Dr. O'Leary discusses a word that he has struggled to understand since medical school. The word is aphasia. The root “phasia” comes from the Greek phanai which means “to speak.” When aphasia is used medically, it refers to an inability to speak, although not always. More generally it is often used to mean a failure to understand or…

WTF Cerebellum - Little Brain, Big Deal 32:58

10M ago32:58

32:58

I did not until recently even consider the cerebellum when thinking about psychiatric conditions, but the more I read, the more I wonder why the cerebellum is not considered a potential important player in nearly every psychiatric disorder. Although it can be said that all brain regions primarily function to make predictions, the cerebellum is espe…

WTF - Thalamus 22:32

11M ago22:32

22:32

The thalami are bilaterally symmetrical structures in the subcortical part of the brain that are cradled by the basal ganglia. They are major hubs of pretty much everything your brain does and all of the sensory information coming into the brain with the exception of smell. More primitive models of the brain visualized it as a bunch of relatively i…

Seroquel (Quetiapine) - Drugs, Sex, Money and Psychopharm 24:53

11M ago24:53

24:53

In this episode, I discuss a medication that patients who saw a psychiatrist or their primary care provider between about 1997 and 2015 were very likely to find themselves prescribed. More recently, it has been taken down a notch or two on prescribers lists of preferred meds. This medication is quetiapine, marketed as Seroquel by AstraZeneca in the…

How guilty are adolescents for their crimes? 29:31

1y ago29:31

29:31

In 2012 the Supreme Court heard two related cases involving adolescents convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole because of mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines in their states.

Serious Mental Illness in America with Dr. Zac Brooks 45:59

1y ago45:59

45:59

I am lucky today to be able to bring you an interview with Dr. Zac Brooks who is passionate about serious mental illness (SMI). “What is serious mental illness?” you might ask. That is one of the things we are going to discuss, and you may be surprised when Dr. Brooks explains how it was first formally defined. We also discuss the numerous ways the…

Perspectives on the Borderline: The Most Disordered Personality 40:07

1y ago40:07

40:07

Dr. O'Leary discusses some of the history of the borderline personality, how different perspectives have attempted to explain its origin, how to treat it and how not to treat it.

The Ghost of Personality Disorders Future 23:27

1y ago23:27

23:27

Our current diagnostic criteria for personality disorders have failed to demonstrate validity or reliability. The DSM 5 encouraged psychiatrists to start considering a broad range of personality features adapted from the Five Factor Model. These are combined with global functioning measures to build a personality inventory for any patient who is ha…

Tattoos, Stigma, Racists, and Psychiatry 26:11

1y ago26:11

26:11

Humans have a history of tattooing that stretches millennia into prehistory. The western ban on tattoos by the early church resulted in a systematic effort to paint tattooed individuals as pagan, primitive, vulgar, criminal, and mentally ill. Psychiatrists have historically contributed to this characterization but are in a position to help reframe …

Attractor Networks and the Bayesian Brain 58:06

1y ago58:06

58:06

The brain understands the world by building models that predict the future. One of the ways that it does this is by utilizing attractor networks. These small world networks are constantly trying to determine what is a true signal from the constant noise in the neural net. Dr. O'Leary explores how attractor networks have been hypothesized to explain…

Serotonin - Jack of All Trades, Master of None 32:44

1y ago32:44

32:44

When I started to make this episode, I thought I would try to do a comprehensive review of all of the various functions of serotonin across its 15 or more receptor types, but I soon found myself overwhelmed. More importantly, I found that some stories are more interesting to tell than others, so here I discuss serotonin and focus on how a few 5-HT …

Antipsychotics and their discontents 21:31

1y ago21:31

21:31

Frequently I have complained that the terms "typical and atypical" or "first generation and second generation" antipsychotics were not very helpful. When I give chalk talks to junior residents and interns about antipsychotics, this is one of the first things that I note. It is the medicines relative affinities for different receptors that appear to…

Extrapyramidal Side Effects and Tardive Dyskinesia for Super Nerds 37:22

1y ago37:22

37:22

This episode explores side effects of antipsychotics at the molecular level. It starts by exploring receptors and their ligands and takes a turn into the dorsal striatum where dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, and glutamate work together to help us dance the mamba. Dr. O'Leary explores what happens when the complex pathways of the cortico-striata…

The STAR*D Trial: Scientifically Flawed or Scientific Fraud? 22:02

1y ago22:02

22:02

The authors of the famous sequenced treatment alternatives to relieve depression trial or STAR*D reported that about two-thirds or 67% of patients had achieved remission after 4 trials of antidepressant medication. This remission rate has been questioned over the years and in October of 2023, the journal BMJ Open published an article that reports t…

Dopamine Networks and Psychosis 32:17

1+ y ago32:17

32:17

This episode is about dopamine. In episode 32, I discussed the pseudoscientific trend of the “dopamine detox” or "dopamine fasting." Instead of talking about pseudoscience in this episode, I discuss the actual science surrounding dopamine and its relationship with the neuroleptics or antipsychotics as they are more commonly known. The effects and s…

In a Word - Impulsive vs Compulsive 29:00

1+ y ago29:00

29:00

In this Episode, I continue an intermittent series called “In A Word.” The difference between prior episodes and this one is that today I have two words. I chose these words because I don’t really know the difference between them, and even after reading and trying to understand the difference, I am not sure that there is a clear difference. The two…

Traumatic Brain Injury - How Severe Was It? 24:34

1+ y ago24:34

24:34

I discuss something that is likely to present itself to a physician long after the fact: a single mild brain injury. This episode focuses on how to classify the severity of a single brain injury. While working in a brain injury unit, I noticed that some providers used the term severe brain injury when referring patients to neurology or neuropsychia…

The Medial Prefrontal Cortex 15:28

1+ y ago15:28

15:28

This episode continues a series on the prefrontal cortex, a complex region of the brain that gives us the ability to have the kinds of thoughts no other species on earth is known to have. The medial (or mesial) prefrontal cortex is especially important for emotional and autonomic regulation, attention and goal-directed behaviors (including addictio…

The Orbitofrontal Cortex - Our built-in Economist 25:30

1+ y ago25:30

25:30

In this episode, I am sliding down and under the front part of the brain and consider the orbital frontal cortex, that part of the brain right above and a little behind your eyes. It is much smaller than the lateral gyri on the prefrontal cortex, but appears to be an important probability generator in our brain when we need to consider different op…

The Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex - Our Executor and Speech Writer 36:15

1+ y ago36:15

36:15

We seem to understand the specializations of the the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on the left better than the right side of our brain. That is because most of us do a lot more language processing on the left or dominant side. The more inferior and caudal parts of the dorsolateral PFC on the left side are more specialized for speech. The more supe…
