Shattering Mental Health Stigmas: Real Stories and Practical Advice

Taking a medication isn't going to fix that right. The therapy can help them with processing how they handle situations instead of just reacting and becoming depressed.
Why is it so hard to talk about mental health? In this episode of The Banyan Podcast, psychiatric nurse practitioner Marie Hankins and psychiatric patient Andi Plotkin tackle this very question. They share their personal journeys and professional insights, aiming to break down the barriers that keep people from seeking the help they need. Marie and Andi discuss the differences between psychiatric care and talk therapy, offering practical advice on how to find the right therapist for you.
They also touch on the benefits of medication and the growing trend of virtual care, making mental health support more accessible than ever. This episode isn't just for those struggling with mental health issues; it's also for friends and family who want to be supportive but don't know where to start. With a mix of heartfelt stories and actionable tips, this episode offers a roadmap for anyone looking to better understand and manage their mental health.
Tune in for a compassionate conversation that aims to make mental health care a normal part of life.
