Description
Welcome to the very first episode of The Psychiatrist's Waiting Room, with your host Georgia Cassimatis. This trailer episode introduces what the show is about and what you can expect to hear in each episode. Georgia shares her own story as a journalist and why she came to interview her father, a Psychiatrist with 50 years experience, about all things mental illness. Growing up in this world, with a father who worked as a Psychiatrist, Georgia was often asked if she could ask her Dad what a certain problem and mental illness was. Knowing this needed to be explained in laymen terms, she decided, well why not do a Podcast about it. That way she can 'kill two birds with one stone'. So, imagine you are at a BBQ and you meet Psychiatrist Dr Nicholas Cassimatis who has been working for 50 years. You’re dying to know exactly what an illness is, but want a simple explanation. This show does that. Join us on instagram, and DM any questions you'd like answered @thepsychiatristswaitingroom.
