Mental Illness Happy Hour. It’s hosted by a comedian (Paul Gilmartin) who interviews people struggling with various human maladies. His comedic bend brings out deep truths with levity and often laughter. I appreciate this podcast bc it doesn’t try to paint things with a silver lining. It’s just...Read full review »

Paul should be a millionaire with all that he does for the mental health community. Imagine the good he can do if he was featured on Oprah.

This is the one you’re looking for. Humor meets honesty.

I keep coming back to it for high-level guests, great compassion, and feeling supported. Thank you, Paul. Keep up the great work.

I really love this podcast. I love hearing people open up in the surveys and learning from the guests. Paul is a great and relatable host. He does a good job of parsing through heavy subjects and does not shy away from listening when people come to him with new perspectives. It’s cool to see him...Read full review »

Paul is a selfless, kind, understanding FUNNY man. He cares about people. His podcast isn’t about sponsors and ads. He seeks to bring a feeling of being seen to his listeners. Paul, while I never met him, is someone I consider part of my healing journey. It’s the podcast I go back to time and...Read full review »

Fast-becoming my favorite podcast, host Paul Gilmartin moves from joking with his guests to successful deep-dives and this episode with Dr. Heather Sandison is the latest example. It'll be nice to hear more sponsors backing this show, as Gilmartin's decision to end a longtime...Read full review »

This is my all time favourite podcast, have listened religiously for years. The guests are interesting and the host is funny, tactful and kind. It has helped me through difficult times and encourages me to think about issues affecting me and loved ones differently.

I have been a loyal listener since 2019 and I still get so excited every Friday for the latest episode. Paul has the best sense of humor and is able to find light in even the darkest situations. This is the absolute best podcast and I would (and do) recommend it to everyone!!

Sad that this woman can talk about her life and relationship, and the only responsibility/fault she can take for anything is her “silence.” Come on. It seems that so many women can’t admit to any fault in relationships at all. They must be 100% victims. It takes two people and both have faults.

Because of this platform, I understand people better. Thank you for all you do! God loves you! Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will be with you. We walk through life’s journey, we don’t stay or stop in the depths of darkness, and we are not alone, He is with us!

Not preachy. Not too academic. This is the Goldilocks of psychology podcasts. I look forward to it every week.

I love the depth of this show. Paul shows a great understanding of people and great interaction with his guests. I really like the surveys part
Foxyspet via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/24
This show my favorite thing on the planet. Following some advice from the host I was able to begin to get the help I needed both through therapy and 12 step groups. This show literally helped save my life. Oh and Paul is also hilarious. INFINITE stars.
nicknames21 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/24
The tone of this show is really soothing to me when I'm struggling with depression. There are just enough jokes to lighten the mood, while still being unafraid to look at all the darkness. Some of the recent guests aren't as interesting as the ones from the earlier years, so try listening...Read full review »

This is a great show, I’ve been listening for years. It gets dark at time, but if you are a seeker and want real and raw, this show is for you.
cactusflower59 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/23/23
Paul has gotten me through many a hard time by being that reassuring voice speaking to me via my headphones. Nighttime is the scariest for me but with Paul there I am reminded that I am not alone

I have been listening for a few months. This week’s #596 Love Avoidance with Rebecca D was so relatable - I found myself vigorously nodding me head! Thanks! And thank you for not patronizing! I don't know what your ethical beef was with better help. I would never use them, but a lot of...Read full review »

... a place that's real. What a tall glass of cool water it is to actually listen to honesty in this way. I think this podcast has helped me feel more at home in myself than 20 years in therapy. I am forever grateful for place to go when I’m sad and alone from feeling so misunderstood.Read full review »

I used to really enjoy this show until a few weeks ago when he hosted a dangerous, unqualified quack. It was an unbelievably irresponsible thing to do. I ended my subscription and Patreon immediately.

Just listened to the episode with the former Cop who is dealing with PTSD. I got to say, his struggles are disturbing similar to mine. I’m a Paramedic who is still struggling with severe anxiety and depression. I did go to rehab 3 years ago and actually wrote a daily journal documenting my...Read full review »

I found that art became my number one healer. Thank you for your podcast. I found you through Andrea Ashley, as I am an Adult Child of a Dysfunctional Family and a CSA. A lot of my art is done during ACOA zoom meetings. I am able to share my art with that community also. Thank You again.

This makes me feel better about myself and my mental health and illness. Not in the way that people are worse off than I am, but in the way that I love hearing other people's stories and experiences knowing that I'm not alone. I went through some major traumatic experiences and events my...Read full review »

Paul G is a comedian/actor who candidly offers up the funny, sad, dark and silver linings to life with mental illness. It taught me that I was not alone in this struggle and fills the gaps in coping and processing with issues in between sessions with my therapist. He really breaks the stigma...Read full review »
