Hello! Vanessa here, to introduce my new podcast! Don’t Call Me Crazy! A podcast to destigmatize talking about mental illness.
I’m going to be talking disorders, I’m going to be talking treatment, I’m going to be talking socioeconomic issues! I’ll also have special Hysteri Lesson (that is not a typo, that is me trying to be clever) episodes diving in to the sordid past of the study of the psyche.
Expect a new episode every other Sunday, wherever you find podcasts.

An interview with May, in which we discuss working during the pandemic as a nurse
This episode was recorded in mid-October, after the 6 week shutdown had occurred and things were just starting to open up again. I had a lot of trouble listening to this episode because we sounded so hopeful about the “end” of the pandemic. There has been no end, only fluctuating closures, a doubling of the number of dead in the US since this was recorded, and countless lives negatively affected by this virus. The “new normal” has taken a toll on all of our mental health- between isolation, financial stress, illness, death, and uncertainty. Please be cautious if these topics are triggering.

HYSTERI EPISODE 2: The Ancient Mesopotamians
Special episodes of the podcast diving deep into the history of psychiatry, mental health, and the study of the mind with a focus on dismantling colonial and misogynistic tropes that persist in psychiatry today.
This is the second in an ongoing series focusing on the ancient Mesopotamians and focusing on the Fertile Crescent and the first known writings of mental health and mental disorders. My friend Sara will be joining me on these episodes so you don’t have to hear me drone on like an encyclopedia.

An interview with Ross, on mixed race, half Asian identity, belonging, and mental health
Today I speak with Ross Takahashi, a cast metal artist currently working on art to represent multi mixed race and specifically being half Asian.
Ross is a Las Vegas based artist and art teacher who focuses in sculpture and traditional mediums. His artwork is based on the human condition, humanity, and the nature of Nevada. He holds a BA in Psychology from Nevada State College, and remains on their Arts and Culture Board.
In this episode we speak about being mixed race, identity, belonging, mental health and resiliency.

Customer Reviews
Listen, empathize and learn a lot.
This podcast gets to the raw, beating heart of mental struggles. Vanessa doesn’t shy away from tough subject matter and in relation to mental health and mental illness it cannot be exposed enough. We need to talk about all of this. These voices often get ignored or silenced. We need to listen, especially if we haven’t been touched by these problems ourselves. She has my gratitude and respect for being humble and open enough to learn and to actively share her lessons.
Great Pod!
I love the open and honest approach to casually discuss mental health. Vanessa has a soothing voice and makes me want to listen more and have more dialogue. Great pod! Will listen weekly!
👏🏽
I really enjoyed the interview and found some of the things said very useful and will definitely try to implement them into my own life. Thank you!
