Pulverizing The Stigma: The Return of Robots in Jon Nelson's Head

In this highly anticipated follow-up, we welcome back Jon Nelson, the man who went from battling relentless, treatment-resistant depression to becoming a pioneering advocate for mental health. Jon’s journey with deep brain stimulation (DBS) wasn’t just a breakthrough; it was a total game-changer. Now, with “robots in his head” pumping 23 million pulses a day, Jon’s mission has evolved from mere survival to a full-throttle campaign to ‘Pulverize the Stigma.’ We delve into the shocking realities of stigma, outdated treatments, the price of mental illness on families, and how a bold middle finger to societal norms is long overdue.RELATED LINKSJon's First Episode: "Robots In My Head: Deep Brain Stimulation"Jon's Website"Jon Nelson: Five Things I Wish Someone Told Me When I Was First Diagnosed With Mental Illness""Today’s Depression Treatments Don’t Help Everyone""#37: Jon Nelson – DBS for Depression Saved My Life: Defying Stigma in Mental Health"FEEDBACKLike this episode?
