Wellness While Walking 129. Being Our Own Advocate: We Can't Take a Backseat in Our Wellness Care, with Sarah Fay
Sarah Fay and I wrap up our conversation about her mental health misdiagnoses, and what's happened since her book, Pathological: The True Story of Six Diagnoses, was published. I'll then share a story of my questionable medical diagnosis. If you've totally relinquished the reins of your care, or you feel uncomfortable asserting yourself or asking numerous questions as it pertains to your mental or physical health, please listen in. The topic is heavy, but we have a lot of fun as well!
