Challenging Mental Health Stigmas: A Heartfelt Dialogue on Hierarchies and Empathy

No matter how mentally ill somebody is, they're just a fellow human being.
Ever wondered why some mental health disorders get more attention than others? In this episode, Dr. Steve Ilardi and Hew James tackle this very question, diving into the concept of mental health hierarchies. Dr. Ilardi, a seasoned clinical researcher, and James, a writer with a 15-year journey through addiction and depression, bring their unique perspectives to the table.
They explore why anxiety and depression often overshadow conditions like bipolar disorder and discuss the role of 'empathic imagination' in broadening our understanding of mental health struggles. The duo doesn't shy away from tough topics, addressing how society's biases influence our views on homelessness and addiction. Through candid conversations and personal stories, they encourage listeners to expand their circle of empathy and challenge preconceived notions about mental health.
Whether you're looking to deepen your understanding or seeking comfort in shared experiences, this episode offers a compassionate and eye-opening discussion.
