#029 -How the Mental Health Industry Fails the Mentally Ill (D.J. Jaffe) - a podcast by Danny Whittaker

Writer and activist D.J. Jaffe joins us to discuss the distinctions between serious and non-serious mental illness, why anti-stigma and anti-suicide campaigns are misguided, the damaging myths about serious mental illness perpetuated by the media, and ultimately how mental health advocates are failing the very people they profess to be trying to help.
