Fresh Start with Dr. David
The ”Fresh Start with Dr. David” Podcast Fresh Start with Dr. David (Refresh, Reset, Reboot, & Rejuvenate Your Mind, Spirit, Soul and Psyche) The ”Fresh Start with Dr. David” Podcast is a podcast where I introduce and chat about a variety of topics related to mental health and wellness, psychiatry, medicine, health, wellness, diet, nutrition, life, life direction, life purpose, self improvement, self development, self awareness, insight, personal growth, personal and professional development and evolution, technology, American living and a host of other topics. During ”Fresh Start with Dr. David” Podcasts, I share my approaches to mental health and wellness, the concepts that I use across my practices, and topics of interests from my current books and any upcoming books. My reason for starting the ”Fresh Start with Dr. David” Podcast is my firm belief that the current mental health and wellness system in the United States is really not a system. And, It’s BROKEN. It’s a group of frequently unaligned and unconnected parts that usually fail to synchronize, leaving patients lost, confused and exasperated. In addition, unfortunately, our healthcare system & our mental health system are so married to the pharmaceutical industry that it’s practically impossible to separate them from one another. Our healthcare and mental health care systems are generally focused upon addressing the symptoms of problems, conditions & disorders, but they often fail to address the underlying root causes of those symptoms, which also frustrates and exasperates patients. In our mental health realm, patients are often prescribed medications that are not only tolerance building & habit forming, but directly & quickly lead to dependence & addiction, and unwanted side effects. In many cases, these patients are never informed about the potential of these medications to lead to tolerance, habit formation, dependence & addiction. Physicians are first asked to ”Do No Harm”, then tasked to ”Do Good.” However, when you marry that with industries (insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, etc.) whose primary goals are profit, then it leads to a number of conflicts of interest that the healthcare industry does not seem to want to address. In the present age, it seems to lead to the belief and policies that support it that the answer to all of life’s problems is to simply take a pill. I don’t believe that people need more pills. I believe that people need better answers and real solutions that get to the root causes of their problems & symptoms. I also believe that the medical education & training systems in America are broken, to the detriment of patients. I believe that many children, adolescents & young adults are not receiving the basics & foundations to be resilient in an ever complex & competitive world that increasingly requires more & more in order for resilience & success to be created. Finally, I believe that in many ways humanity needs to return to the basics of human life & decency, including the concepts, characteristics, traits, values, beliefs & foundational principles that define the best of who we are as a species.

Episode 3 - Depression - Fresh Start with Dr. David
This episode is all about Depression.
It discusses approaches to depression as well as huge flaws within our current healthcare and mental health system, including a number of disorders, diseases and conditions that bring about depressive symptoms and some that present as depression but may not be.
It also brings up solutions.
Here are some links to some statistics about depression:
https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/depression
https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/suicide
Here are some basic statistics about Depression:
Depression is a common illness worldwide, with an estimated 3.8% of the population affected, including 5.0% among adults and 5.7% among adults older than 60 years (1). Approximately 280 million people in the world have depression (1). Depression is different from usual mood fluctuations and short-lived emotional responses to challenges in everyday life. Especially when recurrent and with moderate or severe intensity, depression may become a serious health condition. It can cause the affected person to suffer greatly and function poorly at work, at school and in the family. (WHO, 2021)

Episode 2 - ROI (Return On Investment)
This Episode of The "Fresh Start with Dr. David" Podcast is about one of the most important concepts in Human Life: Return on Investment.
Believe it or not, our Society, our Governments, our Politics, our Social Norms & Conventions, our Religions, our Sciences, our Education, our Financial Systems, our Parenting Strategies, our Vocational Lives, and our DNA are based on the central concept of Return on Investment (i.e., ROI).
The Tools, Techniques, Strategies & Approaches that I embrace within my practices are also at least partially based upon this principle.
Return on Investment (i.e., ROI) simply means "What am I getting out of this?"
Even greater, it means "What am I getting out of this in comparison to what I'm putting in?"
And, therein lies the central concept and principle of ROI, something that's generally taught in business school or in an MBA program but has gained a lot of traction, attention & momentum in all areas:
"Am I getting anything back (i.e., a Return) compared to what I'm putting in (i.e., the Investment)?"
Of course, it begs the question embodied by the principle, "Why am I investing so much time, talent, energy, money or other resources into a project, event, relationship or endeavors that's not delivering anything in return?"
From that we then get the question "Why am I wasting my time on things that fail to deliver any benefits to me?"
That also brings up the closely related issues that are central to accounting and finance that appear on every balance sheet: Assets vs. Liabilities.
Looking at our time, talent, money, energy & resources from the standpoint of ROI bring about the quick question:
"Am I getting what I want from A, B, &/or C, and how much is it costing me to get what I'm getting?"
Finally it begs the question:
"Can I afford to waste my time, talent, money, energy &/or resources?
Usually the answer is no, depending upon the subject matter.
That brings up the principle of the Law of Diminishing Returns, which means that you're going broke by investing in something that no longer pays out; such as a personal or business relationship, a commodity like a stock or a bond, or an activity like playing a slot machine at the casino.
Generally speaking, when you continue to invest in something that delivers a lower quantity &/or degree of returns, that's called an ADDICTION.
In this episode, I'll be talking about how the concept of ROI should be shaping how we think, feel, act/behave and live.
Specifically, ROI affects and influences (or is influenced by) all of the following concepts:
1. Values
2. Worth (Assets vs. Liabilities)
3. Boundaries (Personal & Professional)
4. Relationships (Personal & Professional)
5. Priorities
6. Decision-Making
7. Commitments
8. Engagements
9. Activities & Associations
10. Time Tables, Timelines & Deadlines
11. Journey
12. Purpose & Passion
13. Destiny & Fate
14. Lifestyle Choices
15. Habits & Rituals.
The best way to approach ROI when it comes to your time, talent, money, energy &/or resources with people, circumstances, organizations &/or activities is to look at it like a Slot Machine and simply ask the question, "How many more dollars am I going to put in this machine before I move on to another machine or simply leave this casino?"
If you do this, then you'll discover that there are some machines that you're not ready to leave, even if they having given you a payout of any kind in ages... That will force you either accept the status quo or to create a different option or choice, which may be outside of your comfort zones.
Generally speaking, most people don't look at their ROI with people, circumstances, organizations &/or activities because either consciously or subconsciously they know that doing so will challenge their Comfort Zones.
