Episode 211: From Hiding to Advocating for Your Own Mental Health - An Artist’s Journey with Ruth Poniarski and Leigh Richardson

Leigh Richardson of the Brain Performance Center and host of In Your Head Podcast speaks with Ruth Poniarski, artist and author, to talk about her struggles with mental illness triggered from ingesting angel dust, a negligent doctor and hiding her condition, then finding the right doctor and the support she needs, including turning to painting and writing poetry. She eventually wrote her memoir, Journey of the Self-Memoir of An Artist, where she rediscovered the patterns and lessons in her experiences, and found inner peace. Leigh Richardson is also the author of Brain on Game On, available at Amazon and on http://www.thebrainperformancecenter.com and https://www.leigherichardson.com/. She also owns and operates The Brain Performance Center, a brain and mental health clinic located in Dallas, Texas that can be reached at 214-329-9017.
