Depression to Hope: How to Make a Difference

Depression to Hope: How to Make a Difference

In this episode of Angels 2nd Class, Kathy opens up about her own exhausting depression and what recently triggered a downturn.  YouTube's Channel Removal. You will feel her exhaustion as she shares her story. She first has you imagine a scenario about being pulled over by the police, something probably many can relate to. Kathy has you envision a feeling of helplessness.  Then, she turns the story around to what happened to her.  Leading to deep depression. And, most importantly, she wants followers to know she didn’t just abandon you! YouTube, for no clear reason, removed the channel Angels 2nd Class.  Why?  Great question.  You can't find that answer anywhere.  YouTube makes themselves a vapor – you can’t contact them. You can’t appeal to them, you can’t get answers from them, but you can get removed by them without recourse. YouTube claims A2c is violating spam policies. If you have been following Angels 2nd Class you know its intent is to provide clear and specific examples to better understand emotional health issues, and to highlight people who make differences. Kathy doesn’t hold back her fury with YouTube and their lack of due process and unfairness.  Nevertheless, she shares how she wants to change this into hope and inspire others to use their voice because it is important to be heard, continue to have hope, and to make positive changes in the world.

However, they have been very supportive, gracious, understanding and most meaningful - was their emotional support. Thank you!

AI and Mental Health

This episode starts the conversation about the true motivation and ethics of those who design AI for individuals with mental illness.  Is it to beat competitors, financial incentives, or the altruism to help those in need?  What are the ethical guidelines AI creators follow, and do they have a licensed psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist on the team? We invite you to share your insights and perspectives on such an important topic.    Thank you David Boyle for contributing to this episode.
