EP 08: My psychiatrist, Dr. Mike Magarefteh
We're back after a hiatus, because: LIFE BE LIFE-ING! Today, we're talking to my psychiatrist, Dr. Mike Magarefteh. Yes, I brought my psychiatrist on my podcast! Why? Because he's awesome, and it's really important to talk about mental health and destigmatize it. I hope that hearing a little bit about my journey can inspire someone to do some introspection about their mental health, and consider therapy or psychiatric evaluation. Your brain is a part of your body, so let's take care of it like it is!
