#17 Why So Serious? - a podcast by Dmitry Byk, MD

Docs open by welcoming another doctor. Dr. Gentry McCreary, PhD of Dyad Strategies to continue the discuss from the previous episode about hazing. Dmitry starts it off by going 0-3 on his credentials, but Dr. McCreary is a excellent sport and even gives us his take on SEC and Univ of Miami football history. The show moves on to have the docs try to explains how the young people use language in a new segment "Gen X 'Splains Youth Speak" and Suzanne stakes her claim as the show's resident youth. Then the show turns serious with a discussion on whether the mental health field should change the use of "commit" suicide to "died by" and then talk about three stories recently in the news, Alex Galchenyuk, Bob Huggins, and Dele Alli to discuss substance use. The national suicide and substance use hotlines are presented in this episode. 

Then of course, it's your Mental Health Tip of the Day #MHToD
