The Metaphysics of Mental Illness

Are we having the right discussion about mental illness or just
scratching the surface? When fashion designer Kate Spade reportedly
took her own life on June 5th, and famed chef and host of Parts
Unknown Anthony Bourdain died reportedly in the same manner only
three days later, the discussion around mental illness ramped up
1000 fold. But are we asking the right questions when it comes to
attempting to address this far too common phenomenon? In this
special episode of Conscious Commentary we take a deeper look at
mental illness through a metaphysical lens. What are the true
origins of mental illness? Is this an affliction designed to show
us something about ourselves or a collective curse on humanity? Or
something entirely different? And most, importantly do we have
the power to heal mental illness once and for all? This is what
we're discussing in this special episode of Conscious Commentary!
