The Long Story Longer Podcast looks at various mental health topics through the lenses of a psychotherapist and a psychotropic medication prescriber. Sometimes there is a gap between psychotherapy and psychopharmacology and our hope is too bridge that gap. We hope to do this in a fun and informative way. The creators offer perspectives on diagnosis, management, therapy, medication, our own professional/personal experiences, and whatever else we want to talk about. Our goal was too keep each episode around 15 minutes but due to focus issues sometimes we go a little bit longer.
In this episode of The Long Story Long Podcast, Katie andDominic explore the complex relationship between cannabis and mental health, discussing benefits, risks, and the importance of informed use. They emphasize the need for open communication with healthcare providers and responsible consumption.
