But rather than saying mentally ill, Ondrew uses the term neuro-divergent. And rather than overcoming mental illness, they’re focused on overcoming society and its barriers.
What happens when a brilliant composer, data scientist, and activist shares their unique perspective on mental health? Meet Ondrew, who records under the names Sangfroids and Joculatrix. In this episode of '40,000 Steps Radio', host Christopher Heimerman sits down with Ondrew to explore their journey through bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder. Ondrew prefers the term 'neuro-divergent' over 'mentally ill', focusing on overcoming societal barriers rather than their diagnoses.
They passionately discuss how psychosis influences their creativity and the role of political activism in their life. This conversation isn't just about personal struggles; it's a call to rethink how society views mental health and the importance of accessible mental health resources. Whether you're personally affected by mental health issues or know someone who is, this episode offers a fresh, empowering perspective that challenges the status quo.
Tune in for an inspiring discussion that underscores the power of community and the silver linings of neuro-divergency.
