In a world where Mental Health is used as a common trope in various forms of storytelling, Therapist Ryan Engelstad, and Advocate Mike Graham, try to determine what lines up with real life, and what is just exaggerated fantasy. Listen as they delve into the fantastical tales told about Mental Health in books, movies and television.
Pop Psych 101 is for people who love TV podcasts, book podcasts, movie podcasts, or mental health podcasts

RYAN ENGELSTAD
Bri knows how important spreading this message is. Being Mike's support person when he is struggling, she has a deep understanding of what it's like living with someone with mental illness. Seeing how terrible Ryan and Mike are at social media, she took over in February 2019 with the goal of creating content that's not only moving, but educational as well.
