In this enlightening episode of Advice From Your Advocates, Attorney Bob Mannor sits down with Dr. Fred Moss, a psychiatrist who’s redefining what mental health care can look like—especially for older adults. Together, they explore how genuine communication and human connection often achieve more than medication ever could.

Dr. Moss shares his decades-long journey through psychiatry, from witnessing the over-medication of elderly patients to discovering that true healing begins when people are treated as humans, not diagnoses. This conversation challenges traditional ideas about dementia, mental illness, and medication management, offering a fresh, compassionate perspective on what it means to care for the mind and spirit in later life.

You’ll learn:

• Why communication is the foundation of all healing
• How holistic approaches can improve outcomes in dementia and elder care
• The surprising ways medication can sometimes worsen mental health
• Why “there may be nothing wrong with you at all” might be the start of healing
• How connection—not correction—leads to better quality of life for seniors

Whether you’re a caregiver, elder care professional, or simply someone passionate about mental health, this episode will leave you rethinking what it truly means to heal.
