It was World Mental Health day on the 10th October, did you enjoy it? With ADHD and autism assessment wait times at an all time high, medication unavailable, and no-one willing to actually talk about serious mental health issues because podcast and Youtube algorithms say that you're not even allowed to say certain words pertaining to mental health or your work will be restricted?
Yeah, it's going great for us too.
All that and more this week as Chloe and Kieran really get stuck in to how it's all gone a bit wrong.
