Adam and Brad talk about how the misconceptions about mental illness affect the way people see you when they find out about your diagnosis, and how that can be painful (and sometimes hilarious). Hollywood's portrayal of mental illness. Jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. I'm Danny DeVito if he hit the gym. Lizard People. Sadness is not depression. More Arrogant Ignorance. Gwyneth Paltrow. Physical markers in the bipolar brain. Go get a fucking insulin prescription. Science is an on-going process. Pharmaceutical kickbacks. Confirmation bias and Google's algorithm. We love the Cartels. Lobotomies. Brad makes a noise like a llama vomiting. Inform yourself.
