coming out next week!

In the very first episode of my teen-friendly medical blog/podcast, we dive into a topic that’s often overlooked but affects every part of healthcare, mental health. How does your emotional well-being influence your physical health? What role does mental health play in medical treatment and recovery? To explore this, I’m joined by a very special guest, an elderly woman who has personally faced the challenges of living with mental illness while navigating the healthcare system. She’ll share her experiences with medications, the side effects, the trial-and-error of treatment, and how doctors’ understanding of mental health has changed over the years. Together, we’ll break down the connection between the mind and the body, why empathy matters in medicine, and what future healthcare workers (and patients!) need to know to create a more compassionate system.
