In this episode, listeners tell us what's on their minds and we answer as best we can. We talk about anosognosia, incarceration, psychotic delusions, what we would have done differently if we'd known then what we know now, and lots more.

We open with a poem by a listener who is diagnosed with SZ:

Source Of My Unique Thinking

Seeing laughter from challenged kid

Reminds me of all things I hid

About everything I did

And Joke I made was big mistake

Was due to a great sense of dread

I felt knowing I will be dead

At least physically one day

And so I found alternative way
