Holiday Safety Tips and Must-Read Books for Mental Health

Episode Overview

  • Keep marijuana edibles out of reach and in locked containers to prevent child access.
  • Understand the difference between false anxiety (physical causes) and true anxiety (life circumstances).
  • 'May Cause Side Effects' by Brooke Siem explores her experience coming off psychiatric meds.
  • 'Bad Therapy' by Abigail Shrier critiques modern mental health practices.
  • 'The Anxious Generation' by Jonathan Haidt discusses overprotection in real life and underprotection online.
Viewing anxiety as an inner compass can help you become more aware of what's truly going on.
In this episode of Keeping Ashland Healthy, Dr. Ashley and the Boss dive into some timely holiday topics, starting with the risks of marijuana edibles for children. They discuss a concerning increase in cases of marijuana toxicity among young kids in Ohio and share practical tips for parents to keep their little ones safe. If you're a parent, you'll want to hear their advice on storing edibles out of reach and avoiding any confusion with regular sweets.
It's crucial information, especially with the festive season upon us and more treats around the house. Next up, they explore an intriguing podcast interview featuring Brooke Siem and Dr. Ellen Vora. Dr. Vora introduces the concept of 'false anxiety' versus 'true anxiety,' explaining how physical issues like sleep deprivation can cause anxiety that's different from the anxiety stemming from life circumstances. This discussion is eye-opening and might change how you view your own anxiety.
The episode also includes three fantastic book recommendations for your holiday reading list. Brooke Siem's memoir, 'May Cause Side Effects,' offers a raw look at her journey off psychiatric medications. Abigail Shrier's 'Bad Therapy' challenges the current mental health system, urging readers to think critically about their treatment. Lastly, Jonathan Haidt's 'The Anxious Generation' addresses the impact of overprotecting kids in the real world while underprotecting them online.
These books provide diverse perspectives and valuable insights that can help you or a loved one navigate mental health challenges. Whether you're looking for practical advice, thought-provoking discussions, or just a good book to curl up with, this episode has something for everyone. So, why not take a break from the holiday hustle and give it a listen?
