Great concept

This is an outstanding format for presenting information about mental illness Tanner Hinds presents a mini-play illustrating the particular condition being focused on and follows it with a discussion with an expert in the area. It is entertaining and informative. It’s important if you or anyone you know is experiencing symptoms of these illnesses. But it’s also a great way to gain understanding of mental health issues.
