499: The Truth about PTSD with Dr. Michael S. Scheeringa

499: The Truth about PTSD with Dr. Michael S. Scheeringa

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder first appeared in the DSM-3 in 1980, and was clinically defined as exposure to an actual or threat of death, serious injury, or sexual violence. Today, clinicians and pop health proponents have expanded the definition broadly, without supporting research, and the result is a catch-all term used to describe any past stress. Labeling mental health challenges is crucial for research, funding, and appropriate treatment, so on this week's show, you'll meet a doctor and researcher who will help us understand trauma based on science.

Learn

  • Toxic stress theory and misunderstandings
  • Why complex PTSD is not based on research
  • How to advocate for your children or yourself if you have PTSD
  • MDMA and psilocybin treatment options - the future?
