Beat The Mental Health Out Of It!

“Don’t look to the bottle, the knife, or the gun… Look for the soul you’ll become!

Welcome to “Beat The Mental Health Out Of It!”, where humor meets heart—and things get uncomfortably real!

Join our fearless host, “The DEFECTIVE Schizoaffective,” a lovable goofball navigating life with Schizoaffective Disorder who boldly asked, “What the hell… why not turn my traumatic experiences into a podcast for the enjoyment of others?”

He is often joined by his wise, “elderly” co-host, “IndyPocket,” an unapologetically candid mental health professional and lifelong mentor who adds his invaluable insight to the show!

In this unscripted “bro hang,” I plunge into the labyrinth of mental illness with all the candor and chaos of an unfiltered improv troupe at a hole-in-the-wall comedy club. Expect gut-busting anecdotes and uncomfortably dark humor—so dark it might just need a spotlight—as well as frank conversations that perfectly bridge the chasm between struggle and support.

I’m here to unpack the complexities of mental health, debunk the stigma, and share our own experiences—where every topic is fair game in our whimsical yet serious banter.

You’ll never know where our conversations will go… because frankly, I DON’T EVEN KNOW… And that’s the beauty of it!

From enlightening interviews with brave souls battling their own demons to laid-back discussions about coping mechanisms and the stark realities of life in a world that often misunderstands, this is your go-to podcast for catharsis, featuring plenty of laughs, hard truths, and a tear or two along the way.

This podcast serves as the spearhead for this transformative movement, and I’ve already taken the first step by establishing my Discord community, “The STRUGGLE Bus.” This space is intended for open dialogue, support, and connection as we all work together to navigate our mental health journeys.

We ALL have struggles and something valuable to share in the conversation!

I’m just a lovable dumbass creating a safe space where it’s perfectly acceptable to laugh morbidly at the absurdities of living with mental illness while embracing vulnerability and authenticity.

So, leave your sensitivity at the door and prepare to open your minds to a truly unique experience that just might teach you how to laugh at ANYTHING—even the darkest corners of life!

”Laughter is the best medicine… SO LET’S TAKE OUR DAMN PILLS!”

Stop crying, lighten up and join me as we BEAT THE MENTAL HEALTH OUT OF IT!

“A Mental Health Podcast… With A Comedic Twist”

December 30, 2024 • Nicholas Wichman • Season 1 • Episode 1

Welcome to “Beat The Mental Health Out Of It!”

I am about to introduce you to my world, where laughter meets vulnerability in the wild world of mental illness.

Join The DEFECTIVE Schizoaffective, a 32-year-old male navigating life with Schizoaffective Disorder as he delves into the raw, unfiltered world of mental health with a dark, comedic twist.

This unscripted and unedited podcast explores all aspects of mental health, featuring candid conversations between your host and real stories from guests who bravely share their own struggles.

He is often joined by his co-host, IndyPocket, a dear, “elderly” friend and mentor to him, fellow drummer and mental health professional.

Expect dark and possibly even some “offensive” humor as I tackle the heavy topics with my unique, unfiltered approach.

The foundation of my show is based on this “famous” saying… which I wrote myself:

“Laughter is the best medicine… SO LET’S TAKE OUR FUCKIN’ PILLS!”

While I love to laugh, I also dive deep and get personal, offering an authentic glimpse into the highs and lows of mental health.

Tune in for a journey that’s as enlightening as it is entertaining!
