In this short introductory episode, I share what this new psychiatry podcast is all about and why I’m starting it. I’m Dr. Brandon Lee Brown, an inpatient psychiatrist in Houston with a background spanning outpatient and inpatient care, interventional psychiatry (TMS, IV ketamine, intranasal esketamine, ECT), and psychotherapy.
My goal is simple: to record brief, high-yield reflections during my commute to or from work, covering cases, clinical patterns, and lessons I wish someone had told me when I was a trainee. Episodes will focus primarily on psychiatry, but will often touch on medicine more generally, neuropsychiatry, and the broader brain sciences.
I’ll discuss real issues that come up on the unit, interesting clinical dilemmas, and ideas from the papers and books I’m reading. Whether you’re a psychiatrist, resident, medical student, or someone who wants to know more about the practice of psychiatry, this podcast is designed to be practical, candid, and grounded in daily clinical work.
If you have questions or topics you’d like me to cover,you can reach me at brandon@outlace.com.
