The Other Side of Madness A Family Conversation on Psychiatry

In this episode, I sit down with my mom to have one of the most honest and raw conversations we’ve ever had. We talk about what it was like for her as a parent to make the heartbreaking decision to have me taken to the hospital.

We dive into the realities of the psychiatric system the challenges with undertrained security staff, the fear and confusion families feel, and the moments that left lasting scars. But we also take time to honor the incredible nurses and doctors who made a difference the ones who truly saw us and offered real care.

This conversation is about truth, gratitude, and the critical role that family and support systems play in recovery and healing. If you've ever felt alone in your mental health journey, or if you're a parent trying to navigate the impossible, this one's for you.
