Marcus King on Over-Communicating and Advocating for Psychiatric Care

Going There with Dr. Mike

To wrap up Mental Health Awareness Month, singer-songwriter Marcus King joins Going There with Dr. Mike for and honest, open conversation. Listen to the artist talk about his experience with being bipolar, his coping strategies, and more.

King talks with Dr. Mike about his battle with feelings of "terrible hopelessness" in regards to his life and the world, detailing the ways he identifies such feelings and how he combats them. To that point, the artist explains how important it was for him to develop a vocabulary to address his mental health, one that allows him to adequately describe what he's going through to others

Listen to Marcus King chat about all of this and more in the new episode of Going There with Dr. Mike. Marcus King also has a new album out, Mood Swings, and is in the midst of an international tour as part of Chris Stapleton’s "All-American Road Show." Get tickets here.
