671: How to Love Someone with Mental Illness with Dr. Michelle D. Sherman

Have you ever struggled to support a close friend or family member dealing with a mental health condition? How do you know when you're truly helping rather than enabling? When should you push, simply show up, or even step away? If these questions resonate with you, you're not alone—at least 20% and possibly up to 40% of people will face this reality at some point in their lives. On this week's podcast, you'll meet a psychologist who shares her research and clinical experiences.

Listen and learn:

  • How to differentiate between supporting and enabling a loved one
  • Key questions to ask yourself if you're in a caregiving role
  • The impact of online support groups and AI on mental health care
  • Strategies for handling difficult or unpleasant caregiving situations
  • How to find affordable mental health resources locally and nationally
  • Common challenges of caring for aging family members and how to cope
