How far would you go to understand the true impact of psychiatric medication on a loved one's life? On this heart-wrenching episode of the Gaslit Truth Podcast, we share the poignant story of Joey Marino, an actor cherished for his role on the TV show ER. Carley, Joey's close friend and advocate, joins us to recount Joey's arduous journey through anxiety, the aftermath of his father’s sudden death, and the perilous path of overmedication that worsened his condition. We uncover the eerie similarities between Joey's fate and that of basketball legend Pistol Pete Maravich, adding a haunting layer to this narrative.

Imagine facing severe neurological disorders and not knowing whom to trust. We walk you through Joey's trials with dystonia, akathisia, and tardive dyskinesia, highlighting his struggle to place his faith in healthcare providers. Through Joey’s story, we emphasize the importance of looking beyond visible symptoms to truly understand the person behind the suffering, challenging societal stigmas along the way.

Consent isn't just a formality—it's a lifeline. Carly spotlights the grave oversight in psychiatric care where patients are often advised against understanding their medication side effects. We delve into the ethical quandaries of withholding vital information, underscoring the significance of being well-informed advocates for our mental health. Join us as we navigate the emotional and psychological toll on both patients and their caregivers, advocating for a compassionate, transparent approach to mental health care that honors Joey's legacy.
