Dr Jon Peeples takes us behind the scenes into the world of psychiatry for a fascinating conversation around mental health, being a smarter consumer of psychiatric care, and public health.

Additional show notes:
- Upcoming book, Putting the Science in Fiction. Edited by Dan Koboldt.
- Deinstitutionalization and it’s aftermath, an article: What happened to U.S. mental health care after deinstitutionalization?
- Georgia Association of Community Service Boards

I also discovered that hackathons around AI and mental health such as this one four years ago.
