Deena Nyer Mendlowitz is a fine writer and comedian living her best life with mental illness. Deena and I talk about Jewish life, Kosher foods, her improv show "Mental Illness and Friends", and her bisexual ex-husband and parenting partner. We talk about the 28 minutes it took to buy a gun to kill herself with. Also, about waking up with sperm in her hair, my experience with PTSD, and EDMR and her loss of memory of her son and everything else that counts while doing The McMurphy - also known as Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), aka shock treatment.
