On the first episode, I share my own experiences with mental health issues including ADHD, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and borderline personality disorder. I don't work in the field, but I offer a special viewpoint that combines my life experiences with my academic background. I offer the viewpoint of someone who has experienced mental illness. I quickly outline our podcast's topics for this season. Come listen to us with an open mind and help us to eradicate the stigma associated with mental health.
