Brain Trash: Psychiatry from DSM to Dumpster Fire
Welcome to Brain Trash, where we rip off the sugar-coated filter and talk about the raw, messy, and frustrating realities of psychiatry. Hosted by psychiatric nurse practitioners who know the system inside and out, this podcast is for clinicians tired of textbook psychiatry BS and everyday people trying to make sense of their mental health.
💊 Overdiagnosis. Self-diagnosis. Medications that help. Medications that ruin lives. The DSM. The WTFs of mental health. If you’ve ever side-eyed a diagnosis, questioned your meds, or felt like the system was failing you—you're not alone.
No gatekeeping. No corporate-sanitized psychiatry. Just honest, unfiltered conversations about neurodivergence, trauma, the cracks in the system, and what we need to do differently.
🔥 If you’ve ever felt dismissed by a mental health provider or questioned the way we do this—hit subscribe. Let’s rethink psychiatry together.

Brain Trash: Psychiatry from DSM to Dumpster Fire
From Clumsy to Misdiagnosed: The Reality of Dyspraxia
Is it clumsiness — or is it dyspraxia?
In this episode of Brain Trash, Maria Ingalla and Tabitha Arey break down what developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia) actually looks like — and why so many neurodivergent people are going undiagnosed.
We talk about:
- Why dyspraxia is way more than just being “bad at sports”
- What dyspraxia means for motor skills, daily living, and mental health
- The real impact on kids and adults navigating a world not built for their brains
- The role of therapy, medication, and practical support
- Teaching strategies that actually work
- And why neurodivergence deserves more understanding — not more shame.
If you've ever been called “lazy” or “uncoordinated” when your brain just works differently — this episode is for you.
