Following a sixteen-year stint at TBS's Dinner and a Movie TV show, stand-up comedian Paul Gilmartin dedicated his time to hosting his podcast, The Mental Illness Happy Hour. After his personal struggles with recurring depression, Paul decided to start his podcast as a means to more openly discuss the issues surrounding mental illness in a unique, personal, and sometimes darkly comedic way.
