Hello, friends! GASP! I forgot to record a podcast. I mean... I remembered, but I didn't remember in time for my usual midnight upload time. Oh well. You probably don't care. HEY! I would love to hear your personal mental health success stories big and small. Please send them over to me in the next couple weeks for episode 50!

This episode is another deep dive episode. I decided at the last minute to go ahead and do a little rundown of my personal tips for public speaking. In particular these are tips that help me with memorization, managing stress, and knocking it out of the park when it comes to "performance" style speeches such as keynotes or TED style talks. I recently did a TEDx talk in my community, which is what prompted this entire topic. Stay tuned for that video once it's released. Enjoy these tips and let me know if I should do anything special for Episode 50! Hit me up on twitter at http://twitter.com/duffthepsych or at duffthepsych@gmail.com

Hello, my friends! Just wanted to say thanks again so much for always sending in such awesome, honest, and brave questions. You guys are amazing. In this episode I take a couple questions that are related to dealing with significant others who have mental illness. Here are the questions covered: Is there a genetic link for mental illness? Is it inherited from your family? What can I do about my 27 year old daughter who lives at home and is abusive toward me? What can I do about my friend of 20 years who has abandonment issues and drains me emotionally? As always you can send your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com or hit me up on social media @duffthepsych.

Hello, friends! In this episode I take three new awesome questions.

Please consider sharing the show with the people in your life and on social media. You never know who might need to hear the answers to these questions. Here are the specific questions covered this episode: Years ago, my IQ was estimated to be low. Can your IQ improve over time and should I be tested again?
