What is the “anti-psychiatry” movement? In today’s Not Crazy podcast, Gabe and Lisa get to the bottom of this mentality and debate the reasons and end-goals of people who are explicitly against medicalizing mental illness. 

What is behind their passion? What is their end-game? Is it a dangerous group? Join us for an enlightening debate on this growing movement.
