Episode Details
Back to EpisodesDoctor or Drug Dealer (& How I Was Wrong)
Description
Last week I had an Instagram post that immediately lost me followers, while also being my most liked and shared post in over a year. Let's talk about it.
Let's talk about how this same post could feel so validating and empowering for some people, while angering others.
In this conversation I share various individuals perspectives and experiences around being prescribed psych meds and the ways I think the mainstream medical model often falls short in providing personalized mental health support.
I also offer a thanks to the mental health providers who offered me a gut check for the way my intention behind the post didn't entirely match the impact, and I take absolute responsibility for that.
Trigger warning, this conversation includes mention of the terms: drug dealer, suicide, and anorexia
