Compass Radio: The Need For A Correct Mental Health Diagnosis

socompasshouse.org

It can be tough enough to figure out what's wrong with us when something goes wrong physically.  Some ailments just stump doctors. 

It can be far worse with mental health, and people truly suffer when their mental illnesses go undiagnosed or mis-diagnosed. 

In this month's edition of Compass Radio, we hear the story of a man who spent many years not knowing what was wrong with his mind.  The eventual correct diagnosis changed his life.  We hear John's story and talk about similar situations with Elizabeth Hazlewood and Bryce Harding of Southern Oregon Compass House.
