Back to the Q&A this week. Before I answer the questions, I talk about a recent psychiatric hospitalization that I had to do with the hope of helping you understand that it's not a purely black and white situation.

Here are the questions I cover:

• How can I make friends when my depression gets in the way?
• Should I be avoiding stress rather than exposing myself?
• What advice do you have for a future therapist?

As always, you can send your questions for the show in to duffthepsych@gmail.com

Hello! I thought it would be nice to have my wife, Joelle, back on the podcast today. She's usually a listener favorite guest and I always love talking with her, so I hope you enjoy our conversation!

We talk about all kinds of stuff including:

• Our life and recent move
• Changing psychiatric meds
• Parenting with anxiety
• How I keep work at work

As always, you can send me questions for a future episode to duffthepsych@gmail.com 

Another round of awesome questions from you, the listeners. Here's what we cover this week:

• What can I do about the exhaustion that comes from fighting anxiety?
• How can I deal with my explosive anger?
• How can I mend the relationship with my step-daughter?

As always, you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com

Hello, friends! Sorry for anyone that missed last week's episode. I messed up a little with the technical side of things. We should be all back track this week. If you don't already, please subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or whatever podcast player you use, so you never miss out. 

Here are the questions for this week:

• How can I get help when I can't afford therapy and I don't have insurance?
• What can I do when my emergency anxiety medication doesn't work?
• I feel pressured to have kids. What should I do about it?
