In this episode of 'Blindsight', host Bill Lundgrin sits down with Heather Hutchison, a blind singer/songwriter and author who has faced these challenges head-on. Heather opens up about her battles with depression and anxiety, sharing the raw truth about her experiences with therapy and the often-overlooked barriers that disabled individuals face in accessing mental health services.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with mental health issues or seeking to understand the unique challenges faced by those with disabilities.
