Quick one! So sorry for the internet stuffing up our conversation a couple of times during this audio. I hope you can be patient and get through the little cracks in conversation to listen to Jake's very important message!
Jake is an absolute legend and I was so proud to be able to have this chat with him. Jake is bloody real, nothing else to say! I hope you take some valuable lessons from this during World Mental Health Month.
As always, what we say in these conversations are not professional health advice or opinions, these are purely our own lived experience and if you are unsure or concerned for your own mental health and medication intakes, please seek professional advice.
