Drea Landry lives in Northern California and has experienced bipolar disorder as well as disorders related to anxiety and post-traumatic stress. She speaks with NAMI’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Ken Duckworth, about her path to understanding her mental health and how best to manage the challenges set before her. In one part of the interview, Drea talks about a confrontation she had with the police and how she eventually took on a role training police officers in de-escalating encounters with people struggling with mental health conditions.
This conversation was part of Dr. Duckworth’s research for the book, You Are Not Alone: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Mental Health--With Advice from Experts and Wisdom from Real People and Families. Hear more episodes of this and other podcasts and nami.org/podcast.
