David Bashevkin: My Mental Health Journey [Mental Health 1/6]

Our mental health series is sponsored by Terri and Andrew Herenstein.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, David Bashevkin opens up about his mental health journey.

Through the lenses of therapy, comedy, books, family history, and positive influences, David shares the experiences that have shaped the way he handles mental health challenges today. In this episode we discuss:

Is religious commitment supposed to be the cure to mental health problems?
How can we deal with the need to be liked?
What enables happy people to be so happy?

Conversation with Jay Richman begins at 1:24:08.
