Episode 8: Toosii & Allison Ponthier

Rapper and singer Toosii understood early on in his life that mental health is an important topic, and that sometimes all you need is a person to listen, whether it’s a family member, partner, or God. “At the end of your day, you should always sit and think about what you did, and what you could do to improve it tomorrow.”

Indie singer, songwriter and guitarist Allison Ponthier’s honesty and openness is enormously refreshing. Coming out, chosen family, sensory issues, ADHD and more. She was willing to go the distance in the ‘Hi, How Are You Lounge’ and gave us a tune as well!

Dr. Hill and Dr. Krishna help us better understand the symptoms around certain mental health conditions, and how other medical issues can factor into a diagnosis.
