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!

PRE-EPISODE NOTE: Our microphones were not performing as intended. We are operating on a small budget (meaning “no budget”) so please bear with us as we navigate better ways of bringing our content to you in the best possible quality we can… Thank you!

Welcome to “Beat The Mental Health Out Of It!” with your hosts, The DEFECTIVE Schizoaffective and IndyPocket!

The show where we have candid, unscripted discussions about everything related to mental health with a twist of humor and no-holds-barred!

In this episode, we talk all things LOGICAL and EMOTIONAL, such as:

- The therapy session where Nick realized he WASN’T operating on a refreshing cocktail of 50% emotion and 50% logic… and what that meant for him

- The need to function in the sweet spot between “logic” and “emotion” we call being of “Sound Mind.”

- Tony’s relationship with a partner that tests his logic on a daily basis by the corruption of his intense emotions… and why this is damn near crippling for him

- Those head-scratching moments when things seem crystal clear but emotions turn “clarity” into chaotic nightmares

- How to know when your emotions are clouding your logic and how to handle it properly

- When we can truly trust our hearts to lead the way, or when our brains should take the wheel… NOT JESUS!

As we unpack various scenarios—some that lend themselves neatly to reason and others that leave us in emotional turmoil—you can bet revelations will spring from our organic conversation, as always…

Get ready for an insightful and hilariously frank journey as we tackle the conflict between the heart and the head, discovering how to “Beat The Mental Health Out Of It!”

ENJOY THE SHOW!
