Description

According to medical culture, clinicians must be invulnerable. A clinician's job is to "fix"; illness, not have it – especially mental illness. But in reality, mental illness is incredibly common, and a huge source of shame, which may prevent us from seeking help. In this episode, we'll hear stories of sadness, “madness,” stigma, grief, and the potential for healing. If you are struggling with mental illness, you are not alone.
