Description

"Take Your Pills, Psychopath!" is a comedy podcast that delves deep into the gnarly, misunderstood, painful hellscape of mental illness and boldly laughs in its face. Hosts John F. O'Donnell and Ben Siy-Hian aim to bring together a supportive community of people dealing with mental health issues, i.e. "Psychos," who can motivate each other to proactively take responsibility as best we can for our mental health, i.e. to figuratively or literally "Take our pills." Episodes include interviews with folks with different diagnoses, mental health professionals, and friends and family touched by mental illness.
