Welcome to 'The Endless Spiral,' a podcast dedicated to unraveling the intricate threads of mental health, exploring the profound depths of the human mind, and shedding light on the often turbulent journey toward well-being. In each episode, we embark on a thoughtful exploration of the challenges, triumphs, and evolving narratives surrounding mental health. Join me as we navigate the labyrinth of emotions, share personal stories, and engage in insightful conversations with experts, advocates, and individuals who have weathered their own storms.  On this episode im delighted to say we are joined by Minister for State in Mental Health and Older People Mary Butler TD. Minister Butler is the First female Waterford TD to have been appointed Minister. She also had the honour of being the first female Fianna Fáil TD to be elected for the party since 2007. This is only the 3rd podcast Minister Butler has done so feel very privileged to be able to speak to her on The Endless Spiral Podcast. I hope you enjoy this very special episode.
