Psychopharmacology: Drugs, the Brain & Behavior explores what medications actually do to the brain—and what the research really says about their benefits, risks, controversies, and unexpected effects. Hosted by psychologist Dr. Carlos Vazquez, each episode examines a medication, drug class, emerging treatment, or provocative new study through the science of pharmacology, neuroscience, and human behavior.

From antidepressants, stimulants, antipsychotics, lithium, and anxiety medications to ketamine, psychedelics, addiction treatments, pharmacogenetics, and emerging drugs, the podcast goes beyond headlines to explain mechanisms of action and the evidence behind them. You’ll also hear occasional foundational episodes explaining receptors, neurotransmitters, drug classes, side effects, tolerance, withdrawal, and other concepts that make psychopharmacology easier to understand.

Whether you’re a psychologist, therapist, student, healthcare professional, or simply fascinated by how drugs change the brain, Psychopharmacology: Drugs, the Brain & Behavior turns complicated medication science into understandable stories.

    Oct 27 2026

This episode examines the neurobiology of opioid and stimulant dependence, withdrawal, craving, and the medications used in evidence-based addiction treatment. We explore how access to drugs, inadequate medical supervision, and repeated treatment disruptions can undermine recovery. The Southern California rehab fraud allegations provide a disturbing backdrop for understanding the difference between legitimate pharmacological treatment and exploiting addiction for financial gain.
