Episode description as stored
Send us Fan Mail We sit down with Colorado State Senator Judy Amabile to connect one family’s painful path through serious mental illness to the laws that decide whether people get treatment or get pushed into homelessness and the courts.  We talk honestly about psychosis, stigma, and the hard policy choices behind civil commitment, Medicaid rules, and building enough beds to stop the cycle. • Her son’s schizoaffective disorder and the road to diagnosis • Early signs like paranoia and thought broadcasting • Family anger and confusion turning into empathy • NAMI Family-to-Family as a bridge to advocacy • Why mental illness feels like the “no casserole disease” • The jump from lived experience to writing policy • Civil commitment and AOT as a contested safety net • Competency waitlists and why they don’t equal treatment • The “churn” between jail, hospitals, and the street • Medicaid changes that allow longer inpatient stays If you know someone who has a story to share, tell them to contact us at why notme.world. One last thing, spread the word about why not me. MUSIC INTRO/OUTRO: T.
