In this second episode of Mad Wisdom I talk to James Moore who hosts and produces the Mad in America Podcast. James has experienced the psychiatric system and psychiatric drugs first hand following a stress related breakdown. Believing himself to be fundamentally broken, he spent many years on psychiatric medications before awakening to the reality that psychiatry has few answers for human difficulties. James campaigns to raise awareness of the difficulties that many have when they want to stop taking their psychiatric medications.
In this episode James talks about the stuggles involved in speaking up at work, how being honest about how you feel is crucial, and how his creativity could have been the only therapy he ever needed.
