Why MIND meets MEDICINE?
We are a podcast that brings together mental health and medicine through thoughtful, accessible conversations.
Our goal is to bring awareness, offer education, and invite open dialogue around the complexities of the mental health field—all at the intersection of psychology and medicine.
Whether you’re a clinician, physician, aspiring mental health professional, or simply a curious listener—we’re glad you’re here in our little corner of the world.
