Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard · Cohen Miles-Rath (on psychosis and recovery) · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

Over the course of the last eight years, we've got to interview a lot of folks I didn't think I would ever get to talk to.

And in particular, kind of a new wave of people being honest about some of these conditions that you only could learn about in an abnormal psych class like I did in college, right?

And we'll get to what my current understanding of schizophrenia is based on 28-year-old class I took.

But increasingly, people with these conditions are coming out and talking about the experience.

And I have to say it has an incredibly powerful effect in that

Take sociopathy, you're like, oh, sociopaths, write them off, stay away.

And then we interview someone who's clinically diagnosed as sociopathic and you're like, oh yeah, you're just born that way and you're different from your peers and that's a rough situation.

And then we have someone with borderline personality and it's like, oh, stay away from those people.

And you're like, no, those people too just got dealt a hand.

And so you will be the first person I think we've talked to who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia.

For sure.

Now, what I learned, again...

20-plus years ago now, 28 years ago, in an abnormal psych class, was schizophrenia has a genetic component.

It can be seen in the genome.

We know the loci for it.

It can get passed down.

And it can be dormant unless...

a very stressful situation happens and that there's a window of vulnerability between like, I don't know, 16 and 25, where carriers of the gene can express it if something traumatic happens or stressful.

And if nothing happens in that period, they may carry that gene and nothing may happen.

Okay, thank goodness.
