Welcome to the Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Podcast. The podcast to help you in your journey

towards becoming a wise, empathic, genuine and connected mental health professional.

I'm your host, Dr. David Puder, a psychiatrist who splits his time practicing psychopharmacology,

individual and group psychotherapy, medical director of a day treatment program,

medical education research, and teaching residents and medical students.

Welcome to the podcast. I am sitting here with Dr. Trinkle and she's a colleague of mine.

She is I think three doors down from where I see patients and we have been in the same

residency program together. We graduated around the same time and her role here at our institution

is really twofold. One is to do some of the ECT and some of the teaching and working with

residents, but also it's kind of her unique passion to see a lot of medical students,

residents, and attendings. And so today I thought it would be really an interesting conversation

to one, here's some of her journey in sort of her mental health and to talk about some

of the nuance of treating the populations of people like ourselves. And so one way we thought

about to do that would be to reduce the stigma and just kind of talk about some of our own

maybe journey and mental health and then to kind of talk about maybe some of the barriers

of treatment, maybe some of the things that make it more difficult for us as physicians as providers

of care to seek our own treatment. So Darcy, welcome to the podcast.

Thanks for having me, David.

So tell us a little bit about yourself, like where you grew up maybe your favorite pastimes.

All right. Well, I grew up in Redlands. I was born at Loma Linda University.

Growing up in Redlands went to Academy here, went to college out in Riverside and then I swung

right back around for medical school residency and then attending ship.
