again Mrs. Tarman you did such a wonderful job. wow i'm blown away.

Thumbs up. :)

and I also want to express my appreciation concerning your video great work you did in explaining these things. thank you. and never stop putting in your three cents :) seriously though you did great. :) and not even I knew that of what your explaining and yes it makes perfect sense. thanks again.

and just how do we know it is preventable hmmm ? are we God? no we ain't because heavy drinking Has Consequences. just like if a person was to decide to rob a bank etc.. now if people who really make it their business to care about themselves and stop this drinkin like asap than yeah I think that before anymore damage is done to themselves it can be corrected but hey if they don't care than hey they are on their own. cuz there's only so much the other person can do ya know? sad but true, heavy drinking is a choice, not an illness or a disease , so for anyone who does think it is an illness or a disease than they are just making excuses for themselves and those around them. same thing when someone chooses to any form of abuse against another as well as animal abuse. its a choice.

Thank you Vera for all you do to help us all along this road of recovery. I especially appreciate your nonjudgemental approach that acknowledges that although we may walk the road of recovery together our paths can be very different

My father had cocaine induced psychosis, stayed awake for 3 days doing cocaine. He started hallucinating and thought someone was after him. He jumped off the 10th floor of the balancony and died.

Very informative but please STOP with the stupid noises!

Great information to know

Very informative. Thank you

How about alcohol induced psychosis?

Closer to rest of your life

You Rock!

Wow! Thank you for a great podcast. I loved the focus on respecting individuals and their process towards healing. I can definitely relate to walking with eachother along the path of recovery. In aa there is a responsibility pledge: when anyone anywhere reaches out for help, i want the hand of aa always to be there and for that i am responsible. Not because we owe anything, but because the gift of sobriety is such a miracle that we WANT 'to jump in the pit and help eachother out'.

Can mushrooms cause psychosis?

can't form protein bonds with alcohol in your system. no muscle, no brains.

Zoe is great..Do your due diligence on her and then start learning the truth!

Two of the best writers on diet. Sugar is a slow killer.

Great job!

A drug you ingest that induces or causes psychosis. Hallucinations, delusions etc..😊😊

Your mind's preoccupied with hating upon yourself that you don't notice the beauty around you- you're no longer present.😢

Great job, it's wonderful to see you sharing this with so many! I also liked that you made the distinction for certain people who may still be able to control their indulgences and that others may be at the point where they need to abstain I've also seen many times the "progression" of the disease in action - we used to be able to moderate, and then it got really hard to moderate so we had to learn how, and then .... no more moderation possible So just knowing how this stuff works is the first step to treating it properly!

Who was in the dinosaur suit? Lol. Love it. 😂 Great video!

Bravo

Thank you ,clear and concise.

AA meeting: has a dead leader that’s idealized, has a book that you need to believe, junk science. If you want advice don’t take it from a person who only thinks about how big a drunk they were.

I am so excited to see this episode! I put together the theory as I learned more and more about dopamine, and addiction, memory, learning focus, ADHD, it all seemed to come back to dopamine as the chemical; addiction is chronic low dopamine, seeking elevation, spiking and crashing, hyperfocus on pursuing the substance, and god just the alienation growing up as a kid feeling so 'other' It's wild, how it all comes full circle and goes hand in hand. I'd be so curious to see a poll or a big study to see, how many people who really relate to being an addict also have ADHD or are on the spectrum somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 80%+

I usually enjoy listening to these podcasts. Unfortunately i found this episode very disrespectful. Definitely not an open minded discussion about harm reduction and abstinence. The comment, " sometimes it is okay to have a little fun " in relation to addiction was shocking. I have never heard being kind to someone suffering from an addiction refered to as enabling them. I also need to comment on the 4th step moral inventory in relation to rape . Nowhere in the big book of AA does it say that we must accept responsibility for the trauma we suffered or that it is our fault. I do believe that harm reduction and abstinence are both valuable treatments and that it is possibe to have a discussion about it. This was not it. It was biased and often rude.

Thank you for your video. My brother was diagnosed today, he's only 53. He's been an alcoholic since around age 14.

Great video explaining drug induced psychosis. MDMA definitely is not a psychedelic/hallucinogenic though.

I am literally watching my sister go through this hell nightmare😢…. It is heartbreaking to watch her have a Laps of reality😢 she knows she has a problem! She knows she has an addiction. However she refuses to to believe the drug is the cause of the issues. She’s torturing her neighbors on both sides . She thinks they have a plot to kill her , she thinks they are reading her mind, reading her dreams tapping her phone using drones . It’s been so hard to watch . We don’t know what to do. She keeps saying she’s going to get help !!! She know she needs help!!!! But won’t go to treatment because the voices (the neighbors) will follow her .

This happened to my father recently. He went from working and driving to not knowing who I was in less than a month. Nightmarish to watch. He’s now in a locked ward in a dementia unit.

Is AA a cult? Yes.

Thank you, it was really interesting to hear how the project was driven and conducted.

Beautiful video, Dr. Tarman! Thank you for what you do!

Thanks Dr. Vera, wonderful and informative video❤

Yes maam. Like you said i worked hard reducing from 96kg to 60kg mostly cutting carbs and kind of starving and kept it for 7 years. I had developed obsession abt weight loss. Then i got fedup as basically i am a food addict. Sugar alone is not my problem. I just like food, like in one of your video you mentioned just chewing gives me pleasure i guess and voluminous food. I dont even have special food interests. I am a vegetarian but i still eat high volumes mostly carbs. Now almost 2/3 rd weight lost is regained and like u said i did it before but now i am unable to do it..

I was on lorazapam 5 months 1.25 1 mg .......i stopped it on 6th day started severe 100km an hour surges up my spine 24/7 11 weeks. 12th week base ball bat hit back of my brain. Felt like brain damage....dead calm 13 days....to back to previous symtpoms yet not as severe ...the 13th 14th week.....severe neuropathy.......severe pain back of head spine, so weak couldnt walk....then now insomnia. The insomnia is horrific

Thank you or posting this. I hate it when people call AA a cult. Cults harm people AA wants to help people and cares about your well-being. You're welcome to stay or go but they do encourage you to "keep coming back" because they care about you staying sober that's it.

Super🎉

Thanks so much. Blessings!

Stopped watching this because of the annoying sound effects .

This is so well explained thank you. The actor though🤣

GOLD

Ive smoke crack for a while and when i do it i hear stuff extra clear. For example i hear my neighbors always saying everything i do. If i get ready to smoke they say look he's going to do drugs again or look he's freaking high! Its always something negative tho. there's been times where i record to see if i really am hearing what im hearing or if its just bcuz of the drugs n when i go back n listen to the recording i tend to hear them too?? One thing i should mention is they live on the 3rd floor and i live on the 1st across from them right n from they're windows yu can see my room clearly n ive actually caught them looking at my room window a couple of times so im not sure if they really are watching me or if its the drugs. Also i have 3 covers covering my window and i still heard them saying everything i do.. there been times where i hear them even when i havent done any crack??? So i really am confused. One thing i should say is i use opiods as well when i do cocaine but ive never heard anything/one when using the opiod only?. Anyone have some advise/input i can soak in bcuz i dont have anyone to vent/ talk about those type of personal problems in my life.

This is the most ridiculous advice ive ever heard for someone with a food addiction🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I am a medical practitioner and have 38+ years of eating disorders. Abstinence from sugar and sweet tastes is the ONLY way to combat that which I did via Ketovore and carnivore eating style. You can’t keep feeding the dragon and become free from food addiction that is just pure nonsense. And anyone who tells people otherwise to sell something has no clue about biochemistry 🤦🏼‍♀️🥴

Where can i find it the perfect dr. For online sessions where i can share my personal thoughts and secrets what i think and know these things arent real but when i get the episode everything goes away and pranoia drags me to kill my self i need urgent help i dont have that kind of a perfect psychiatrist in my town they just give sleeping pills.

Are there any processed food addiction abstinence groups that meet on the Internet or somewhere? I would like some food support group people around me.

What? But, wait, T Colin Campbell is so confident in his interviews ,so assured of his data ,so arrogant in his dismissal of anyone who cases doubt on his study! And ,after all, he is vegan! So that looks like settled science to me! Did I mention the " preponderance of evidence " and totally of the science? Well then ,I guess that's confirmation enough for any plant based ,ah, person?

So fucking true. It drives me crazy, to see 5 businesses on one turn, and all being oriented around sugar... Mocka tea café, ice-cream shop, bakery, pizzeria, and McDonald's. It horrifies me every time...

lol your talk is strong enough you don't need all the darting in and out and sound effects a lot of KZbinrs are doing these days, in your case, its a bit distracting. I suggest not to do so many zoom in and outs and kill the sound effects. Your lecture is interesting enough to glue the listener.
