  • Please talk about…

    Please talk about how the mental health care system is broken and structured to only help those who can pay top dollar.

    State funded care is a joke, counselors negligence, doctors over prescribing medications and the cost of alternative medicine ( which isn’t covered by insurance) being so high.

  • Mental Health Download Host

    So this is a shameless plug for my podcast, Mental Health Download. The only reason I'm writing this review is to somehow tell the Apple algorithms that Mental Health Download should be seen by more people. I would strongly agree with the Apple algorithm if it chooses to do so. But seriously, I hope everyone enjoys the Mental Health Download, subscribes and gives it a five-star review.
