Mental Illness or a Natural Response to Capitalism and Oppression? (feat. Candice)

Candice Alaska (IG: @understandingbpd and @candicealaska) joins
the podcast for a second week to discuss how oppression and
capitalism affect our mental wellness. Candice and Laurie also
discuss the impacts of ableism, racism, sexism and colonialism on
mental health. This episode includes a short discussion about the
upcoming new Medical Assistance in Dying laws in Canada.

Also a note directly from Candice for the listeners: I  want
folks to know that while we can and should use this diagnosis as
a portal to investigating what needs to change in our society so
that this type of suffering doesn't keep repeating, I don't mean
that there's anything wrong with any individuals bearing this
diagnosis, nor that all mental health differences and
neurodivergences are always an indication that there's something
'wrong' with our society that needs to change. If it's possible
to add that to the show notes, that would be great!
