The Hardcore Self Help Podcast Episode 1

Robert Duff, Ph.D.
About this episode

In this episode I introduce you to the new podcast and take two Twitter questions and one Reddit question. You can find me on twitter at http://twitter.com/duffthepsych

First question: Is seven medications for anxiety and depression just crazy?

Second question: What's the point of getting extensive testing for dementia?

Third question: How to help a family member who has slid back into depression?
