“It’s an interesting podcast, but saying that psychosis causes brain damage is incorrect. It’s much more nuanced than that. Perhaps get an expert psychiatric professional to review prior to release.”

“I’ve been a mental health provider (LCSW) for almost 30 years. This is one of the most thoughtful and researched podcasts, I have ever listened. I was there when deinstitutionalization of SMI patients occurred in Oklahoma. I worked at the Tulsa County Jail as the first Jail Diversion Case...”Read full review »

“As an ED nurse this series was very relevant to my practice as a nurse. We need to do better for our community with mental health issues, it’s possible. Thank you for a eye opening perspective on mental health and the issues associated with the current solution to care for this community.”

“Excellent, compassionate, thoughtful, and well researched podcast on why our mental health care doesn’t really amount to “care” at all. Sadly, real solutions to what drives the mental health and addiction crises in the U.S. will not get the airtime they deserve this presidential election year....”Read full review »

“I have a MSW and have bipolar 1 and have first hand knowledge of the failure of the mental health system for people who need involuntary care. It’s such a complicated issue that gets forgotten about in the chaos of politics and government. Thank you for your great work.”

“I was an LICSW for 30 years. This podcast describes the tragedy of the woefully inadequate U.S. mental heath system. Laws, services, competent staff and insurance coverage are all extremely deficient. Many of us left the field. We, patients and families often feel hopeless & helpless.”

“My family has a history of schizophrenia. My aunt was lost to us when I was 13 years old. She is still alive to my knowledge but she was paranoid - especially about our family. There was lots of trauma, some drug use, and years of homelessness. As much as I have read over the years about this...”Read full review »

“Lost Patients talks about the myriad complexities of mental health in a way I don’t think anyone else ever has. As someone who provides emergency assistance, it’s hard not to see from only my own work’s perspective. We get wrapped up in the mission of helping, and we cannot see the full picture....”Read full review »
