Perspectives of Both a Psychiatrist and Patient Accessing Mental Health Care with @JakeGoodmanMD

Hello Psych2Goers! We’re sharing an exclusive interview with @JakeGoodmanMD, which was previously shared on the Beyond the Diagnosis podcast (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/beyondthediagnosis). In this episode, we talk about the challenges and lessons of being a physician accessing mental health services.

Physicians are often regarded as having a fulfilling, desirable career, but what’s often not talked about is the training path to get there: the things that are “behind the scenes”, like the process before residency, residency training, and beyond. What is the experience like from the perspective of someone who, at the time of filming, was a resident physician and, at another time, also a patient? This episode discusses priorities in improving physician mental health from Dr Goodman’s unique perspectives.

  1. Thank you so very much, I am married and since my husband has seen me being physically disabled and also with a mental disability he has changed after many surgeries. He has taken my social security number and had as much fun as he could buy, wrecking my only vehicle and buying his own , scamming a pain management doctor and cashing in any check from lawsuits. Only to buy himself more items that he always wanted and had never had. He was charged for assault on a family member in a different county than Houston Texas and he had lied and said he was not married and he forgot to mention that I was physically disabled. This was after all the money he could drain out of me that now he has continued to cheat. I was in a wheelchair for 2yrs and he cheated right in front of me and the girl laughed at me because I couldn't get out of my wheelchair. He has sabotaged my reputation and my relationships with family and my children that have recently lost their father in an accident. He is 10 years younger than me and I didn't think too much about it. His Aunt Monika is an active drug user and has been his role model in life. After one of my surgeries she was with me and my husband asked her to give me something for pain. I was put in an induced coma to keep me alive. He continues to threaten me and my family. I am disabled and he uses that to his advantage. He continues to tell me that he doesn't care about me and my health. Knowing that he was the one that left his parents house in his 30's to move where I have lived for over 15 years. He continues to blame me for his life and claims that I ruined his whole life. I am his second girlfriend and now I don't even understand his thoughts. He continually mocks me of being disabled and uses animals to get what he wants. He has hurt my cat's in the past and used the Internet to get me to come back to him after 4 failed attempts of leaving him. Just for him to isolate me from my friends and family. To only say that I am at fault. He is aware of my disability and my finances and is aware that I am not able to move out of the house that we rent. Only to taunt me while I'm sleeping and when he is gone he has a neighbor watch me, only for the neighbor to find himself in my bed and waking me up saying my husband gave him permission. I am going through menopause, but I don't think I am the one at fault of the life he chose before he met me. Everything that I've told him confidentially he has used against me to try to make me relive the trauma from my youth. He knows I'm disabled and continue to threaten me and my animals and with the neighbors, having them watch me and it's not for my health. I have reached out to many people asking for help and to have the neighbors continuing to stalk me right along with my husband. People think it is easy just to move out into a shelter and leave my children and grandchildren and move out of state to where they will be safe. He has used me and my family to his personal benefit and tell me that I have to leave the home where I had back surgery and only to fall in the driveway and damage the surgery. The owner of the house? My husband is the only one that spends time with him. I've asked, begged for help to only be told to leave everything that I have and animals and go into a shelter to stay over again. The city I live in is the same city that I moved to when my daughter was young. I came here homeless and I truly believe that this is exactly what my husband is doing so that I am not able to care for myself or see my family. He's not disabled and mocks anyone that is disabled and lies about the disability. To whomever it is to only make himself look good to another person . I've exhausted my search for homes and to be able to afford one near my family and children and grandchildren. Thank you for listening.

  3. To anyone who's suffering depression, anxiety, insomnia and other mental health problems, you are not alone. I feel you. You are so brave. You are doing so well. I'm proud of you. I'm sending you a virtual hug ❤ For me, it wasn’t therapy or meds that helped the most — it was reconnecting with myself. I started using the exercises in Shift Your Mind by Alexander Brooks, and it made me feel human again. The anxiety that used to control my whole day barely shows up now! 🙏❤
