Mainstream Mental Health Radio with Dr. John Huber

GUEST: Matthew W. Johnson, Ph.D.

 

MDMA which is commonly known as ecstasy may have a much greater purpose beyond being an important aspect of rave events nationwide. Our guest today on Mainstream Mental Health radio is Matthew Wayne Johnson, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins Bayview Campus. Dr. Johnson has studied the therapeutic effects of the psychedelic compound psilocybin in the treatment of addiction, and in the treatment of cancer-related anxiety and depression. He has also studied Psychopharmacology of psilocybin, salvinorin A, and other psychedelics/hallucinogens.

How does MDMA affect the brain and basic cognitive function?   

How can Post Traumatic Stress be perceived on MDMA and can MDMA cause a person to have a permanent shift in perception on their PTSD?

Why do you think that MDMA and other psychedelics are being slowly embraced by the medical community as legitimate means of treatment?

Do you think that there is a danger of using MDMA as a form of treatment – as the individual could become addicted to it?

How would you compare regulated MDMA to anti-depressants in terms of their short term and long term effectiveness or harm?

Stories covered today include: Benefits of Teaching Children to Hunt 

Gun safety

Knowing how to safely shoot and handle firearms is an essential skill for people to learn.  By teaching your children to hunt, you’ll be teaching them skills that will teach them to respect guns, not fear them.  

Gaining confidence

Learning about wild game their patterns and habits (natural science), taking that knowledge applying it, adding shooting skills and patience, all the things that must come together to get that first buck.  That amount of empowerment and accomplishment is not easily duplicated.  Teaching life skills about preparation, hard work and determination.

Responsibility

Hunting teaches respect for laws as they gain knowledge about game and land management. Establishing a strong character to make a good citizen. I will never forget watching my 11-year old daughter watching a beautiful 14 point buck walk within 40 feet of her as she watched that buck through her night scope.

Stories covered today includ:

 Why Millennials Are Struggling With Mental Health At Work

Americans do not take mental health seriously enough. According to the NIMH, as many as 45% of mental health cases go untreated in this country, at a total potential cost of $147 billion per year. These statistics are devastating and also not widely known — but they’re not terribly controversial. What is controversial — or at least uncomfortable — is the idea that millennials suffer from more mental health issues than any previous generation. This challenges some of the common assertions that millennials are entitled, lazy and lack a work ethic or respect for The Dollar.

What Chelsea Manning teaches us about the U.S. military’s mental health crisis

Outside the newly christened Stewart Lee Udall Federal building in Washington, D.C., the air was crisp, but inside, President Barack Obama was glowing. Surrounded by top staff and military leaders, the president signed into law a bill that would eventually repeal the U.S. military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy (DADT), which had for 18 years banned gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military. 

Our guest today is Renee Jones author of the new book “What’s Really Eating You? Overcome the Triggers of Comfort Eating.”. Ms. Jones welcome to the program.
