Michael Alexander's Journey Through Mental Health Challenges and Resilience

Hopefully this sheds a little light on why some of us do the maladaptive, seemingly crazy things we do.
Picture sitting down with an old friend and unraveling the most intimate parts of their life. That's what you'll get in this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour' as host Paul Gilmartin chats with his comedy buddy, Michael Alexander. They dive deep into Michael's turbulent experiences with mental health, from his time in psych wards to grappling with anxiety and depression.
Michael also opens up about feeling out of place, not being 'black enough', and the sting of 70's Chicago racism. But it's not all doom and gloom. Michael's candid storytelling sheds light on his journey to become a better parent than his own, his battles with love addiction, and the complex process of finding the right medication. Through their conversation, you'll find a raw and honest look at why people sometimes act in ways that seem inexplicable.
It's a heartfelt dialogue filled with empathy and a touch of humor, perfect for anyone seeking understanding or inspiration in their own mental health journey.
