Show Notes
- Origin story: From pharma to inpatient BH—witnessing 7–10 day transformations.
- Definition reset: BH includes SUD, PTSD, SMI, and cognitive issues (e.g., dementia).
- Stigma & seniors: “Toughen up” culture vs. the art + science of psychiatry.
- By the numbers: Many struggle; only about half receive treatment; rural access gaps.
- SC lens: A significant share of South Carolinians live with BH conditions; access differs by geography.
- Double burden for seniors: Depression/anxiety + chronic disease = worse outcomes if untreated.
- Integration works: More check-ins, coordinated teams, better adherence, fewer ER visits/hospitalizations.
- Your Health approach: Prevention, integration, outcomes—BH as part of every care plan.
- Personal reflection: Normalizing conversations reduces shame and opens doors to help.
- Set-up for Part 2: Social media’s role, early intervention, and the provider playbook.
