·1 hr 28 min·5 clips

How did Latin songs go from 'I'm still your slave' to 'I believe in me,' and what does that say about toxic relationships today?

The episode opens with the hosts engaging in a playful karaoke segment, singing and discussing Latin songs, noting a cultural evolution from themes of suffering and toxic relationships to female empowerment. They mention artists like Yuri and Paulina Rubio, briefly touching on Paulina Rubio's legal issues regarding alleged child mistreatment. The tone shifts as they introduce psychiatrist Dr. Víctor Figueroa to discuss psychotic disorders, timed with International Schizophrenia Day on May 24. Dr. Figueroa defines psychosis as a disconnect from reality and explains various disorders, including schizophrenia, brief psychotic disorder, and substance-induced psychosis. He details symptoms like hallucinations and delusions, emphasizing that schizophrenia typically appears between ages 15-30 for men and 20-30 for women. The discussion explores triggers, such as marijuana and alcohol, with Dr. Figueroa using the analogy that genetics 'load the gun' and drugs 'pull the trigger' for schizophrenia. Callers share personal stories, including one about a friend who had a psychotic episode after smoking marijuana and another about a journalist who walked naked through a mall during a depressive psychosis. Dr. Figueroa addresses treatment accessibility in the Dominican Republic, noting that 50% of patients in low-income countries lack access, and untreated schizophrenia can reduce lifespan by 10-20 years. He also discusses delusional disorder, sharing a case of an engineer with irrational jealousy toward motoconchistas. The conversation touches on legal aspects, like how forensic psychiatrists determine if a crime was committed during a psychotic episode. After the interview, the hosts return to a lighter topic, debating whether to share sexual fantasies with partners. They differentiate between fantasies that can be acted out, like role-playing, and those involving third parties, which they view as red flags. Personal anecdotes include one host dressing as a belly dancer and another witnessing a couple in a public bathroom. The episode concludes with reflections on keeping some fantasies as mere imagination, referencing a father's advice about dreams versus reality.
