During the interview, we will talk about what is cognitive behavioral therapy and we discuss different mental health disorders like a bipolar, borderline personality disorder, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more. We cover as well a portion of discussing substance abuse and drugs in people with mental health disorders. We will talk about various techniques and how Dr. Kelly helps patients in that area of their life.
