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!
Beat The Mental Health Out Of It!
How Does Infidelity TRAUMATIZE Your Family?” With JOSH GUFFEY
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!
Join us for a special episode with Josh Guffey, one of my dearest friends, as he shares his close friend’s tragic story of infidelity, self-deprivation, alcoholism and the struggles of maintaining mental stability after the failure of his marriage.
His friend desires for his story to be told, but does not feel comfortable appearing on camera or for his name to be mentioned. However, Josh has been given full consent by him to share his experiences.
Josh openly shares many details of his friend’s experiences, including:
- Many details regarding the trajectory from the beginning to the of the end of the relationship including the history of his relationship with his ex-wife, the manipulative tactics she used to maintain a facade of trust, when he made the shocking discovery and how she weaponized her own infidelity to rip their family apart
- Why he felt unable to “speak up” to his ex-wife and hold her accountable for her violation of the sanctity of their marriage
- The toll it takes on his mental health, his struggles with alcoholism to cope with his pain and reoccurring suicidal ideations
IndyPocket, will be sharing many painful stories of similar experiences in his past relationships to validate the situation of Josh’s friend and offers some valuable insights on the topic.
Josh and I share our history as dear friends and bonding through trauma and the three of us will also be enthusiastically exploring some societal observations we struggle to accept in our world
Tune in for a blend of dark humor, friendship and “bro-bonding” as we "Beat The Mental Health Out Of It!" with GUFF!
