Lost Patients
Lost Patients takes you into new spaces most people have likely never experienced before — the inside of someone's psychosis, mental health court rooms, and the past and present streets of Seattle, says Esmy.Jimenez, collaborating journalist of Lost Patients, Apple Podcasts' Spotlight show for August 2024. Jimenez, joined by Will James and Sydney Brownstone, have created a deeply immersive six-part docuseries that explores the challenges of treating severe mental illness through the lens of one city's past, present, and future. Together, they have crafted a listening experience that mirrors the labyrinthine journey of individuals and families grappling with this crisis."Lost Patients put us in contact with some of the most profound people we've ever met: people who have experienced psychosis," says James. "They have been to some of the farthest reaches of human experience, often with terrifying or devastating results, and nonetheless wanted to share what it was like with others to help them understand. These conversations have changed my perspective on mental illness — and, in some ways, on being alive."Brownstone agrees, "I hope considering someone in psychosis as being stuck in a dream — rather than simply unpredictable and volatile for no reason — opens up a new pathway to empathy for listeners.""Our goal was to help listeners see all the various shades of gray in these big national conversations about homelessness, addiction, and mental health," Jimenez explains. For James, "This podcast is for the countless people who witness people in mental health crisis — either on the sidewalks, busses, and subways of U.S. cities or in sensational TV coverage — and are working through their own feelings of confusion, fear, anger, and hopelessness."
Great reporting & moving storytelling

I haven’t been moved to tears by a podcast very many times but this one really got me. There’s great journalism here but it’s also so humanely presented & empathetic.
Episode about psychosis

It’s an interesting podcast, but saying that psychosis causes brain damage is incorrect. It’s much more nuanced than that. Perhaps get an expert psychiatric professional to review prior to release.
Mental Health LCSW

I’ve been a mental health provider (LCSW) for almost 30 years. This is one of the most thoughtful and researched podcasts, I have ever listened. I was there when deinstitutionalization of SMI patients occurred in Oklahoma. I worked at the Tulsa County Jail as the first Jail Diversion Case Manager in the entire state back in 1999. It was a collaborative effort with law enforcement and the judicial system. With my beginnings, the state of Oklahoma has Drug Courts and Veterans Courts throughout the state now. I am very judicious when it comes to Involuntary Commitment because I worked as an Intensive Case Manager with a caseload of 20 to 25 patients who suffered and struggled with Schizophrenia. I knew when they were decompensating but unless they were a danger to self or others my hands were tied even though they had a long documented history of decompensation. Now, I work for the Department of Defense where suicide seems like an everyday occurrence because of moral injuries from war and trauma of being in hostile, war-torn countries. It will never end in my lifetime.
Our broken system

As an ED nurse this series was very relevant to my practice as a nurse. We need to do better for our community with mental health issues, it’s possible. Thank you for a eye opening perspective on mental health and the issues associated with the current solution to care for this community.
