In this episode of No Magic Pill, Paul Conti and Blake Mycoskie pull back the curtain on why so many people seek help and still don't get better. From misdiagnosis and over-medication to the unconscious patterns driving every decision we make, Paul & Blake discuss frameworks for understanding the mind that most of the mental health system never offers.
