Trigger warning⚠️: in this episode we will be discussing addiction, self harm, and suicide. The number for the National Suicide Prevention Hotline is 1-800-273-8255. If you or a loved one need someone to talk to please reach out!

In the second part of this topic my very special guest Renee will be giving a mental health focused discussion on why self harm to the point of detriment is a medical emergency, but addiction to that point is criminal. 

Renee is a licensed therapist…and my best friend… and gives a great perspective on why addiction is a mental health issue and why it needs to be treated as such. She explains this issue so thoroughly and with such compassion you will understand why she is so good at what she does! Though I may be bias, this episode is such a good topic and Renee is such an eloquent speaker you can really grasp why mental health is a subject that needs to have more time and attention given to it in the health care field!

With this topic please remember if you or a loved one are struggling with mental health illness or addiction reach out for help. Don’t hold it in to the point of self destruction, because you are worthy of help and you are worthy of love and to be cared about!
