Summary
America doesn’t have a “people are weaker now” mental health crisis. It has a systems failure—and the receipts are brutal. In this Evolve episode of Geeks From The Multiverse , we cut through the lazy narratives and talk about what’s actually broken. The need for mental health care is real. The infrastructure? A mess. Month-long waitlists. Insurance companies acting like final bosses with prior authorizations and denials. “In-network” providers who don’t exist. And patients tossed into provider roulette—where some clinicians are incredible and others should absolutely not be licensed. This is a no-fluff conversation about workforce shortages, ghost networks, burnout, and a system seemingly designed to exhaust people until they quit asking for help. We also get practical: how to find care faster, how to push back on denials, how to recognize a bad provider early, and what to do if you’re in a spiral and need help now , not three months from now. This isn’t weakness. It’s survival in a broken maze. 🎧 Find the show + all links here: gftmpodcast.bio.link #GeeksFromTheMultiverse #Evolve #MentalHealth #SystemFailure #Podcast
