In this episode of The Psych Central Show, our hosts discuss how society sees different mental health diagnoses. Gabe Howard has bipolar disorder and Vincent M. Wales has persistent depressive disorder (also known as dysthymia). In addition to each discussing his diagnosis, they compare how the conditions are similar and how are they different, and what each thinks of the other’s diagnosis. Ultimately, they ask the question:  Is one worse than the other? And if so, in what ways?

Listen to this excellent conversation that is sure to provide many points to consider when it comes to thinking about and reacting to people living with mental illness.
