Love, Loss, Grief and Mental Illness
Any opportunity I can get to share my story, to hopefully then save a life, makes all the pain I have gone through worth it. It was my honor to share my story of love and loss with the great team and audience  at @thedoctorstv ... because of them, I relived some of the most painful memories of my life to in-turn help those who are suffering. Today and everyday I ask each and everyone of you, abolish the stigma of mental illness and start the conversation. This episode will air early fall 2018. Stay tuned!
