Episode notes

Mental health is a much more inherently multi dimensional problem, and so it's never going to be a straightforward what is your assessment in terms of why that's the case if that will improve? It's hard because one is, studies are just expensive. Most studies that are done are paid for by parma companies or and are kind of designed to prove that a treatment works. But i think part of it is under funding more broad studies. The other challenge is mental health is entire subjective.

In Episode #86, we explore reinventing mental healthcare, therapy, and solving the access problem. We’re joined by Mike Clare, founder and CEO of Mood Health. We cover how the current mental health care system is broken, the customer experience at Mood Health, and Mood Health’s payment model.

“In some ways, one of the things that's really frustrating is that mental health is kind of become this luxury, where if you have the money, you can get great psychiatric care. If you can't afford that, then the system kind of breaks down and it becomes much more challenging.” – Mike Clare

ABOUT MOOD HEALTH

Mood Health is opening up mental healthcare access to anyone with an internet connection. At the age of eight, Mike Clare's mom passed away suddenly, which left him grappling with depression that often felt crippling. He spent years seeing therapists and psychiatrists around the country, seeing firsthand just how broken the current system is. After spending a number of years at Juxtapose helping launch and scale incredible companies like Care/of, Great Jones, Perch, and Tend, he knew exactly what problem he wanted to tackle next, which is building a modern, mental and emotional wellness platform to give everyone great care at an affordable price, with the best clinicians, all accessible from anywhere.
