Format:

Follow 4 sections in sequence or  cherry pick what interests you.  You’ll watch engaging videos, have a little reading, and discuss  with other students and the facilitator, if you wish.  You’ll enjoy an interlude with a comedian—Laughter is, after all, the best medicine.

The vids you will see of  influential MDs, researchers, and psychiatrists  are leading us away from drive-thru psychiatry (relying too heavily on psych meds) to a more effective, humane way of overcoming mental health problems.

Dr Bragdon has created a thoughtful interweaving of information –mostly in vids–to help you  be able to find an integrative psychiatrist to assist with optimizing mental health and not over-relying on psych meds.  This means you don’t have to sort out this complex field on your own, spinning through google and youtube.
