In this episode, we explore the evolution of therapy in the US and its impact on societal perceptions of mental health. We discuss the alarming trends in mental health outcomes, despite increased awareness and treatment options. The conversation delves into cultural influences, the stigma surrounding mental health, and the importance of access to care. We reflect on personal experiences and the need for a more compassionate understanding of mental health as a chronic condition that requires ongoing support.
