Psychiatric nurses Julia and Andria sit down semi-weekly to chit chat about the various and sundry problems they encounter working in psychiatric emergency services. Rants vary each episode based solely on our moods and recent experiences, but you can expect to hear some crazy stories, get mad alongside us about issues like homelessness and inadequate outpatient resources, and trauma trauma trauma. This is not a wellness podcast, and only sort of an educational podcast. We're just two nurses with problems talking about problems hoping that if we all are aware of the problems maybe we can find some solutions together. Cover Art credit: Madeira. jaded.sedated@gmail.com for questions, comments, complaints! We love to hear from you!
Hi everybody! You didn't know, but Season 1 ended with Episode 11! We realize now we could have told you, but we didn't actually know at the time, either. We are working semi-diligently to produce Season 2 and it will even feature some people outside of our immediate circle of friends and coworkers, so if you thought we were a little Bay-Area-centric, well, we heard your silent complaints. We're not going to give any spoilers-- gotta keep an air of mystery. But if YOU want to hear us talk ...

Ep11- Lisa Talks Early Interventions and the Magic of Social Work
Each week all we ever do is pelt listeners with problem after problem, and while this is fun for our jaded souls, we realize it may be taxing. Well...this week we talk with our dear friend and former coworker, Lisa! Who, luckily for everyone, is on the forefront of a solutions based early interventions program. Lisa graces us with lessons on resilience, why and how she keeps doing what she's doing, and reminds us that there are in fact people working every day to instill hope and effect posit...

Ep10- Elizabeth Cracks Open the Black Box of Child Welfare
We had one of the most fun and devastating conversations ever about what's going on in that secret society of Child Welfare. And more importantly, what SHOULD be going on? And a bunch of moral dilemmas, and how to reach spiritual enlightenment- just check it out. Elizabeth recommends reading "The Impossible Imperative" by Dr. Jill Duer Berrick if 1.5 hours wasn't enough content on this subject. As usual, the opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers alone, and don'...

Ep9- The Problem(s) with Incarceration
We watched some documentaries, we learned some things, we're here to talk to you about how much we hate incarceration in general but specifically how much we hate that people are (not) being treated for their mental illness while incarcerated. Thank you universe for Jail Diversion programs but also why does every good idea get watered down in practice?

Ep7- Introducing...Our Beloved Psychiatrist!
An interview this cool hasn't happened since the second Roosevelt administration. Andria and Julia interview *drumroll please* THEIR FAVORITE COWORKER. No offense, other coworkers, but we all know where we stand. There is SO much to talk about, but for the pilot John episode, we'll narrow it down to Borderline Personality Disorder, Traum-o-rama to the extreme, as well as some well deserved criticisms of the DSM-V (among many other juicy topics, like the concept of "acuity"). Get ready t...

Ep6- Patient Centered Care

Ep5- Exquisitely Sensitive with Becca
We get real real with our friend Becca, who has worked in substance use treatment for over a decade. It's all of the things- crazy, tragic, beautiful, miraculous- a front row seat to miracles, but also to abuses of power and some major systems failures. Becca now works with a group practice and consulting firm that offers therapy and also supports behavioral health agencies maximize their effectiveness, which is very exciting (for her, for us, for you!). You can find more info on Becca...

Ep3- Bobi's Story: Recovery from Trauma, Addiction, Mental Illness
Content warning: This episode contains some talk about sexual violence and police brutality that may not be suitable for all listeners. And, as usual, some explicit language. Join Julia and Andria as they talk to Bobi, a trauma-informed yoga teacher and student of Collaborative Health and Human Services who courageously shares her story of trauma, PTSD, addiction, and RECOVERY. Bobi beautifully offers us a window into what it's like, and what a way out can look like. Featuring trauma-i...

Ep2- A Bunch of Legal Definitions
Julia and Andria do a haphazard job defining legal terms in order to set the stage for future conversations, realize mid-conversation how California-specific the terminology is, and stumble into some awkward conversational territory about Tarasoff reports and dildo attacks. For questions, comments, or concerns feel free to email us at jaded.sedated@gmail.com. You can find us on Instagram @jaded_and_sedated !
