Ask a Psychiatrist is a podcast hosted by Dr. Erik Messamore where a real psychiatrist answers real questions about mental health, mental illness, treatment options, and general wellness.
Ask a Psychiatrist is driven by the philosophy that giving people accurate and complete information about the causes of illness and suffering – and the full range of tools for wellness and recovery – will help people ask the right questions of their therapists and doctors.
This kind of knowledge will make them better negotiators at getting the right kinds of care. They’ll get better results. And they’ll drive the profession toward better practice.
Videos in this channel explain the causes of symptoms, the treatment options that are available, why treatments sometimes don’t work, and what to do if they don’t. This channel provides general knowledge about medical and mental health topics.
