Episode notes

Grief is one of the most unpredictable things we experience. People still have a very strict idea of what grief looks like and how you're supposed to be dealing with it. There are so many ideas about how long we're allowed to grieve, that's such complete fucking bullshit. You can't just address the parts that seem societally acceptable. Like all those colors of emotions are going through you in grief and you need to process all of them. They all need space and deserve space.

In our final episode of Season 1 we discuss the life and trials of George Bailey and attempt to answer the question of whether "Wonderful" is a fair assessment. We debate whether George's symptoms are primarily based in depression or anxiety as well as debate the co-morbidity of depression, anxiety, and trauma. We detail the treatments available to help George as he faces his existential crisis. Tune in to find out more and Happy Holidays to all!
