It's Not Just In Your Head

As we approach the end of 2022 we decided to briefly discuss some of the notable episodes & guests we've been lucky enough to talk with, we also chat about the rise of remote mental health treatment and the latest AI 'ChatGPT', we discuss the chronic rise in loneliness and the cruel side effects of isolation, and we finish up by addressing a discord members sense of being overwhelmed by all the problems of the world.
