Jay Shifman Opens Up: Mental Health, Substance Misuse, and Breaking Stereotypes

If you're not checking in with yourself, if you're not figuring out what's sprouting in your mind, we think and feel and experience thousands of things every day.
Ever wondered what it’s like to break the silence on mental health and substance misuse? In this special episode of 'Choose Your Struggle', Jay Shifman sits down for an honest chat about his own experiences with ADHD and bipolar disorder. Jay isn’t just talking the talk; he’s lived it. He dives into the challenges of seeking therapy and the importance of saying 'yes' to building meaningful relationships.
Jay also takes a hard look at Hollywood's portrayal of mental health and the often misguided campaigns like 'Just Say No' and 'D.A.R.E.' that have shaped public perception. But it's not all heavy. Jay shares his daily affirmations and tips for self-check-ins, offering practical advice for anyone navigating their own mental health journey.
Whether you’re struggling yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that you’re not alone and that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
