    Sets the Standard
    As a PMHNP, The Carlat Psychiatry Podcast is one of my go-to resources. Dr. Aiken and Kellie consistently deliver informative, well-researched content that enhances clinical decision-making. Their commitment to bias-free, evidence-based information makes this podcast an essential tool in modern psychiatric practice.
  • MareInTheCity
    Entertaining as much as the highest quality of education
    Have been listening to the show for quite some time! EM—not primary psychiatry, but I have found so much useful information and entertainment with these hosts. Impressed with the amount of up-to-date content and variety. Presentations are in a way that promote retention and awareness a good variety of topics. 5 stars plus!! 💯
  • JanetteGio
    Can’t get enough!
    So quality. I’m a mid-career psychiatrist and find this podcast to be the most helpful continuing education content. It helps me improve my practice constantly. Spot on and concise, like a little nugget of gold each week!

    Outstanding show. The best of our profession
  • fickes1080
    Unbiased and Evidence Based
    Carlat has been good a long time. But their recent willingness to host individuals critical of aspects of modern psychiatry shows they value what is right rather than pushing for more diagnosis and prescribing. It takes courage to host individuals critical of ADHD and psychiatry in general. But our field needs some serious introspection. Bravo team at Carlat!
  • jmart444
    Dangerous ideology
    I really enjoyed this podcast until they released the latest episode. i’m disappointed this podcast succumbed to this obsessive. Hyper focus on race and identity shared by a fringe part of our population. this ideology will ultimately prove destructive to race relations.
  • C8H11NO2NP
    Succinct evidence based updates
    Phenomenal and without the heavy biases of the other big name educator!
  • dgdhhgfnjgv
    Best psych podcast
    I e been listening for two years- this is by far my fav way to stay up to date. Short, to the point, and full of helpful info.
  • Shark_MD
    One of the very best
    Every episode is just jammed full of clinically relevant information. Wildly helpful. This is such a service to us, thank you so much.
  • DNP, PMHNP

    As a doctor of psychiatric mental nurse practitioner, and long time owner of a thriving practice, I value the clear, concise, unbiased, evidence based education presented by 2 excellent hosts! And thank you for being open minded and inclusive of all providers.
  • Allofus123
    Bite-Sized yet rich
    Excellent content with a unique blend of conciseness and depth.
  • DAC Donny
    Incredible podcast for patients and providers
    This is a fantastic podcast that tackles treatment and pharmacological issues. It is informative and extremely well done. Highly recommended for clinicians and the intellectually curious patient alike. Well done.
  • sminnesota
    Social worker prescriber?
    Not sure why a social worker was giving prescribing advice on the 7/25 episode. Quite out of scope.
  • Dr Defilippo
    Excellent
    Solid, unbiased, evidence-based clinical advice for the practicing psychiatric provider
  • WolfGirl333
    I love this podcast
    I’m a grad student in clinical counseling and this podcast is so helpful, informative, and unpretentious! I love that it doesn't just cover medicine but also helps us to understand mental illness. There is a ton of great advice packed into this podcast as well as resources. Dr. Chris Aiken and psychiatric nurse practitioner Kellie Newsome are wonderful and I also find their voices very soothing! 10/10 recommend not just for those in the field but for those who want to better understand their loved ones who may be struggling with their mental health.
  • @MichaelUnbroken

  • marjorie caro
    Love it ! Keep the good work
    Love it ! Really enjoyed
  • Kelly-ji
    Low dose with huge effect size
    I have been a longtime fan of the Carlat Report. It is engaging, highly practical, succinct, and--CRUCIALLY--free of industry influence. The podcast formulates an already delightful format into bite sized morsels that are packed with flavor and highly satisfying. I enjoy both the longer segments as well the 60 second podcasts. Fantastic job! Keep up the great work.
  • J soren
    Love this!
    I love this! I wish that they would make an app that could easily track CME. Please please please!!

    Daily podcasts
    Please keep the daily podcasts. Very informative
  • eucalyptus_
    Keep it up
    I very much enjoy the recent daily format. While I also enjoy the longer full episodes, it’s nice to have a quick, easily digestible review of a more narrow topic
  • Hefferbub
    Great Psych podcast
    As a psychiatrist, I find this podcast very informative, and am so appreciative of the authors’ hard work bringing new information in a pleasant format. I love the shorter daily format of recent episodes, too!
  • Andymb2
    Fantastic
    Fantastic psych podcast. Please keep up the daily episodes. -psychiaty resident
  • robxblue
    Great Podcast should be daily
    Interesting to non-clinicians like myself. I like every episode and wish this was DAILY please. Whether you’re a clinician or patient you will find the information extremely helpful and thought provoking. Dr. Aiken has a wealth of insight to share as does his partner Kelly.
  • Sparkplug2005
    Valuable Information for Professionals
    A refreshing show, that delivers straight to the point information clear and concisely. I like the pairing of the NP with the MD together as hosts and they both speak clearly and engage well. I enjoy them. The show displays a relevance to how most outpatient offices are practicing in these times. Very down to earth and practical. I found the episode on telemedicine to most helpful, and often use the Carlat Podcasts as a way to find information I need for work and like that is at my fingertips. Keep it coming.
  • smedley67
    Sounds like a lullaby
    Very helpful and relevant information, but Dr A speaks so slowly and gently, it’s as if he’s reading a bedtime story. And his NP sidekick is very distracting with her monotone and awkward questions
  • rich_boston
    Keep it coming
    Very helpful. To the point. Just the right amount of production flare. I enjoy that you have the discussion format of expert and new entry professional. Please don’t put up a paywall.
  • hdjjfnn
    NP as moderator
    I am also confused by the role of NP. She speaks as an expert; however, she has limited experience as a NP student. Why not consider a psychiatry resident and/ or psychiatry fellow?
  • Coloradoorbust18!
    I am confused about the host
    Decent podcast.. relevant material.. but The role of the “student NP” is confusing to me.. she speaks authoritatively & references her prescribing practices, but she’s a student? I also don’t care for her style as a presenter.
  • LRothschild
    Review
    Excellent information and much appreciated. Thank you. L Rothschild, MS, PMHNP-BC
  • Psych NP Amy
    Informative and fun
    What a great podcast! The podcasts are kept to a perfect length to keep the listener engaged. It’s very informative and every week I learn something new. Love the fun “tidbits!” A job well done!
  • That Gareth
    Brilliant Resource
    One of the best produced and most informative psychiatry podcasts I’ve come across. Well done, guys.
  • Susan Lulham
    Very informative
    I was very interested to learn about all the kickbacks being paid to doctors for prescribing drugs such as Risperdal, Seroquel, Trileptal, and Zyprexa because my son was prescribed these as a child to treat his Bipolar Disorder and Asperger’s Syndrome. Hmmmm. Makes me now wonder whether they were truly warranted and just how effective they were in treating these conditions. Thank you for this thought-provoking discussion. Very professional, yet still conversational and attention grabbing.
  • Jipseeme
    Great debut!
    This podcast is informative yet easy to listen to. The voices are engaging yet professional, none of that monotone stuff that can happen sometimes in educational podcasts. The information is clear and succinctly presented, yet you get a feeling that the speakers are genuinely passionate about helping others understand the material. I half-expected one of them to chuckle at any moment, that's how much they seemed to be enjoying their work. I definitely subscribed to this one, and look forward to future material!
  • thejives
    Great info! Quick listening and fun too.
    Highly recommend
