About

The mental health field has done a terrible job of providing practical information to people. This frustrates me immensely. There absolutely are scientific, practical mental health tools that can and do change lives, and so few people are teaching them. This channel is for us: those whose needs run deeper; those of us living on the Isle of Misfits Toys. My goal for this channel is to create the highest quality information about depression and anxiety for the people who need it most; those who are living with it every day. My name is Dr. Scott. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist, podcast host, and the author of the book "For When Everything Is Burning." I specialize in treating moderate to severe mood and anxiety disorders because I've lived them for decades. Disclaimer: This content is not intended to be a replacement for receiving treatment. It is purely educational in nature. My relationship with you is that of presenter and audience, not therapist and client. But I do care.
