    In the words to Meek Mills “It’s levels to this”, said Dr. Glover referring to mental illness during her interview. “You would never tell someone who broke their ankle to smoke weed and their ankle will heal on its own.”So many times we hear that taking medication for mental illness is for crazy people or it will make you feel like a zombie. It actually discouraged Kea for taking medication. According to an article by NBC, one in six Americans take psychotropic medication---mostly antidepressants. This week's episodes address taking medication for mental illness with two psychiatrists of the Thrive Mindfulness Project, Dr. Doomes and Dr. Glover.
