Dr. Jessica DuBron: Tackling Mental Health Crises and the Rush of Crisis Work

It's really important to understand that not everybody fits into a neat little box, and it can be really counterproductive to try and diagnose somebody with a personality disorder.
Ever wondered what it's like to be on the front lines of mental health emergencies? In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin sits down with Dr. Jessica DuBron, a clinical psychologist with a wealth of experience working with at-risk youth, particularly within the LGBT community. Dr. DuBron opens up about the high-stakes world of psychiatric evaluations and the unique challenges that come with it.
From the adrenaline rush of crisis intervention to the nuanced care required for transgender individuals, she offers a gripping look into her professional life. But it doesn't stop there. Dr. DuBron also shares her personal journey, including her survival of sexual abuse and her thoughts on the accessibility of mental health treatment. Her candidness provides a raw, real perspective on the complexities of mental health care and the importance of compassionate support.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the intricate dynamics of mental health crises and the dedicated professionals who navigate them daily.
