S1E35: On this episode, Destigmatizing Mental Health with Jay Spence Chief Strategy Officer for Uprise Health and host Dr. Nick. Medicine has been progressive on many fronts using science to study disease, identifying causative factors, organisms, or physiology, and developing solutions. But there are some outliers in this process and none more so than the area called Mental Health. Our lack of understanding has led to a lot of stigmas associated with people who variously suffer mild, moderate, and sometimes severe debilitating forms of disease that prevent normal functioning in our world. We have seen increasing acceptance and awareness by employers of mental health as a disease but the solutions available and access and utilization of them remain limited.
