You Are Not Alone

NAMI has launched “You Are Not Alone: Voices of Recovery,” a limited podcast series based on the national bestseller “You Are Not Alone: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Mental Health,” by NAMI Chief Medical Officer Ken Duckworth, M.D. The first episode was released on March 30, 2023, with new episodes following every Thursday.

This podcast is a supplement to the book, drawing from among more than 100 interviews Dr. Duckworth conducted with real people sharing authentic stories of their mental health journeys. Episodes will be released weekly.

If you haven’t read the book, please do. It’s extremely well-written and sends a knowledgeable and open-hearted message to all those impacted by mental health challenges—and we know that is a large percentage of our population.

Episode 1 in the podcast series features Diana Chao. She is the founder of Letters to Strangers, a mental health support group she started in high school that has grown quickly and significantly to have chapters on six continents. She tells Dr. Duckworth about her family’s journey from China to Claremont, California, and her experiences with bipolar disorder, complex PTSD, and depression.
