    This episode is the return of The Resilient Purpose Podcast with hosts Doug and Spencer. Doug and Spencer discuss the impact of having a "disorder" and that maybe the lens for which we view mental health perpetuates the stigma rather than reduces it. What if we look at mental health struggles through the lens of injury and not disorder? Would we be more likely to focus on injury prevention or more willing to go to therapy for rehabilitation of that injury. Check out this great and important discussion.
