I really enjoyed this

Great podcast. Looking forward to more episodes in the future. It’s sad the way our country is non supportive of people with mental health disorders. Too many people “fall through the cracks” as they say and I hope this brings to light some of the challenges people with mental health disorders go through and why they may not seek out help when they really need to. I myself have a mental health disorder and I get really frustrated and discouraged when I feel myself going down hill and my providers don’t listen to me and just keep rolling with the same medications with no suggestions for changing.
