Anatomy of an End is a podcast about mental health, crisis, and human behavior under pressure.
New here? Start with STIGMA, our first Field Guide. We explore the assumptions we carry about mental illness, where they come from, and what happens when we see a label before we see a person. It’s the place to begin getting to know us and the questions at the heart of this show.
Join host Davis Henry and forensic psychological consultant D. Edward “Dana” Tatum as we examine what shapes people’s lives, how distress gets misunderstood, and why reaching out or accepting help can be more complicated than it sounds.
Our psychological-autopsy episodes explore individual lives and the relationships, pressures, experiences, and systems surrounding a death. Our Field Guides step back to examine broader subjects like stigma, shame, addiction, isolation, and the ways we respond to people who are struggling.
Suicide prevention is central to why we do this. But understanding people begins long before a crisis. We ask difficult questions, challenge easy explanations, and question our own assumptions along the way.
These are serious subjects, but they don’t have to be cold or impossible to talk about. You don’t need a clinical background to follow the conversation. Our aim is to make difficult human behavior more understandable and help us become better prepared to engage when it matters most.
