In this episode of 'Behind the Mind', host Kevin Meiselman sits down with Max Guttman, a psychotherapist and mental health advocate, to share his powerful journey. Max opens up about his experiences with schizophrenia, from the challenges he faced to the triumphs that led him to a fulfilling life.

Now 33, Max runs Recovery Now in New York, providing psychotherapy and community consultation. He also manages a mental health blog, Mental Health Affairs, and teaches clinical social work.
