Episode Title: The Mirror, the Match, and the Megaphone (Part I)

*Series Launch: Psychiatry, Rewritten – The Reckoning Series

Description:

Welcome to the beginning of something deeper.

In this first installment of The Mirror, the Match, and the Megaphone series, we lay the foundation for a raw, unapologetic conversation about the systems that shape our minds — and the stories we’ve been told about them. This episode introduces the central metaphors that will guide the series:

• The Mirror — what we’re forced to look at (and what we’ve avoided seeing),

• The Match — what needs to burn,

• The Megaphone — what must be said, loudly and without permission.

We explore the personal and collective reckonings that drive this work, the fire beneath reform, and why staying silent is no longer an option. If you’ve ever questioned the way things are done in mental health — this is where we start peeling it back.

This episode is not a conclusion. It’s a call.

Let’s begin.
