The Basis of Addiction & Recovery

Welcome to Understanding the Misunderstood! I’m your host, Erika Tinsley—a student deeply passionate about psychology, neuroscience, child welfare, law and policy, and social justice. As someone who has experienced the hardships of navigating my own mental health, I hope that my vulnerability and openness can inspire others to do the same. This podcast is about shining light on what too often stays in the dark. Together, we’ll unpack the complexities of mental health, challenge stigma, and share real stories that inspire empathy and understanding. Join me each episode as we explore the misunderstood world of mental health—and work toward a culture of compassion and awareness.&nbsp; For inquiries, please email us at understandingthemisunderstood1@gmail.com.
