What does healing look like when men are finally allowed to speak? In this powerful episode, we bring together four incredible voices—Leo Xia, Michael Huynh, Jackson Xia, and Noel Garcia, who are each reshaping the conversation around men's mental health, identity, and healing within Asian and Asian American communities. Through stories of pain, resilience, and community, this episode sheds light on how mental health challenges have shaped their identities, not just as individuals, but as men breaking generational silence. We also discuss what the future could look like if more safe spaces existed for men to connect, express, and heal. Whether you're personally navigating your journey or looking to support others, this conversation offers hope, guidance, and a powerful reminder: you are not alone.

In this episode of the Label Free Podcast, host Deanna Radulescu interviews Sam Mandel, co-founder and CEO of Ketamine Clinics in Los Angeles. Sam shares his personal journey and passion for mental health advocacy, stemming from his own experiences with friends and family members who have struggled with mental health issues and addiction. He explains that ketamine, an FDA-approved anesthetic, is also an effective treatment for depression, PTSD, anxiety, and chronic pain. Sam emphasizes that ketamine treatment has a success rate of 83% and works much faster than conventional antidepressant medications. He also discusses the misconceptions surrounding ketamine and the challenges of raising awareness due to the lack of pharmaceutical marketing. Sam highlights the holistic approach of ketamine treatment, which promotes healing and enhances brain function without the long-term side effects of traditional medications. He also mentions the clinic's expansion to offer psychiatric med management and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as additional treatment options. Despite the stigma surrounding mental health, Sam encourages listeners to seek help and reminds them that there is always hope.

In this episode of the Label Free Podcast, host Deanna Radulescu interviews Sam Mandel, co-founder and CEO of Ketamine Clinics in Los Angeles. Sam shares his personal journey and passion for mental health advocacy, stemming from his own experiences with friends and family members who have struggled with mental health issues and addiction. He explains that ketamine, an FDA-approved anesthetic, is also an effective treatment for depression, PTSD, anxiety, and chronic pain. Sam emphasizes that ketamine treatment has a success rate of 83% and works much faster than conventional antidepressant medications. He also discusses the misconceptions surrounding ketamine and the challenges of raising awareness due to the lack of pharmaceutical marketing. Sam highlights the holistic approach of ketamine treatment, which promotes healing and enhances brain function without the long-term side effects of traditional medications. He also mentions the clinic's expansion to offer psychiatric med management and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as additional treatment options. Despite the stigma surrounding mental health, Sam encourages listeners to seek help and reminds them that there is always hope.

Nevertheless, She Persisted: Surviving Teen Depression and Anxiety
TRIGGER WARNING for suicidal ideation and suicide prevention-related language In honor of September being Suicide Prevention Month, I am sitting down with Adia Fadaei—a 19-year-old mental health and suicide prevention advocate. Her passion for eradicating the stigma surrounding mental health and suicidality began 14, working at Teen Line as a hotline listener, outreach presenter, and intern. She is a crisis counselor for 988 Crisis & Suicide Lifeline at Didi Hirsch Suicide Prevention Center. We discuss Adia's background in the suicide prevention industry, reasons to call 988, exactly what happens when you call 988, a role-play of what a 988 call is like, suicidal ambivalence, tools to use during an emotional crisis, warning signs of suicidality, common emotional responses to experiencing suicidal ideation, suicidal phrases being used as slang, what Adia hopes to see in the suicide prevention industry, debunking 988 misconceptions, and so much more! If you or a loved one is struggling with suicidal ideation, I highly recommend calling 988 or checking out the resources below. You are not alone!
