A Psychiatrist's Honest Take on Andrew Tate, Addiction & Mental Health

About this episode

Dr. Mena Mirhom discusses the intersection of faith and mental health, addressing addiction, childhood trauma, and the importance of seeking help.

Dr. Mena Mirhom is a psychiatrist, Columbia University professor, and Orthodox Christian who merges faith with mental health in a way you've never heard before.In this conversation, he unpacks why it takes over 11 years for people to seek help, how childhood trauma shapes your identity, and why shame, not the substance, is what keeps people trapped. He also responds to the Andrew Tate "just go to the gym" mentality, explains how confession actually heals the brain, and gives practical advice for parents, spouses, and friends supporting someone through addiction.Whether you're struggling yourself or loving someone who is, Dr. Mina's message is clear: treatment works, hope is real, and you were never meant to fight alone.Like, Comment & Subscribe.
