Sarah King and Dr. Micah Krempasky from WakeMed dive into the changing landscape of mental health, exploring how conversations have shifted from stigma and secrecy to openness and advocacy. Together, they tackle everything from how personal and family experiences shape our understanding of mental illness, to why so many people are struggling to find therapists today. They break down myths, share honest stories, and discuss why mental health exists on a spectrum—just like physical health. You'll also hear insights about the influence of social media, the pitfalls of self-diagnosis, and practical advice on starting tough conversations with friends or checking in with yourself.
