Faust, aka Vasily Beinarovich—a doctor, psychiatrist, and host of the "Faust21century" channel—will debunk many myths about psychiatrists and therapy in this episode of "Interesting Podcast." We'll uncover the stigma surrounding psychotherapy: from the harsh realities of Russian psychiatry and personal diagnoses to why a child needs a door latch and why you can't sleep at night. This isn't an interview—it's a mental detox, after which you'll know for sure whether you need a therapist or not.

This video is for you if you:

Think psychotherapy isn't for you.
Are tired of toxic relationships and codependency.
Want to understand how to raise children without yelling and punishment.
Are you looking for real methods to improve your mental health?
Are you interested in psychiatry, psychology, and self-knowledge?
Want to hear the honest, hard, and unvarnished truth from a practicing specialist.
