Serious Mental Illness in America with Dr. Zac Brooks

Send us a textI am lucky today to be able to bring you an interview with Dr. Zac Brooks who is passionate about serious mental illness (SMI). “What is serious mental illness?” you might ask. That is one of the things we are going to discuss, and you may be surprised when Dr. Brooks explains how it was first formally defined. We also discuss the numerous ways the US has tried to reform how SMI is treated with variable results.Please leave feedback at https://www.psydactic.com...
