Mental Health Hospitals: Debunking Myths and Sharing Real Stories

I think it's important to be aware of internal biases and stigmas, even as clinicians. We need to learn how to provide the proper resources and care for our patients, without judgment or preconceived notions.
What really goes on inside mental health hospitals? In this eye-opening episode of 'We Are The Stigma', hosts Melissa and Cody Kreutz team up with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) advocate Megan Glosson to lift the veil on a topic that's often misunderstood. Drawing from their own experiences and Megan's recent treatment, they tackle the misconceptions, fears, and stigmas that surround mental health institutions. Expect laughter and candid moments as they share personal stories and practical advice on seeking help.
Megan, a prolific writer and mental health advocate, brings a wealth of knowledge and empathy to the conversation. She’s been published on platforms like The Mighty and Thought Catalog, and she’s not shy about discussing her journey. Melissa and Cody also reflect on their own stays in psych wards, making this episode both relatable and informative. If you've ever hesitated to seek help for your mental health, this episode might just be the nudge you need.
Tune in for an honest discussion that aims to demystify mental health hospitals and encourage open conversations about mental well-being.
