Devika Bhushan, MD

Andy Dunn is an entrepreneur, author (of his memoir, Burn Rate), investor, and father. He co-founded the men's wear brand Bonobos and recently released his TED talk, Lessons from losing my mind: https://www.ted.com/talks/andy_dunn_lessons_from_losing_my_mind/c?language=en 

Trigger warning: In this interview, we talk about suicidality, depression, psychosis, hypomania, and mania.

SPREAD THE LIGHT WITH DR DEVIKA B: 
First-person accounts of living with mental illness that aim to dispel stigma and stereotypes and instead, spread hope and light.

Because stigma festers in the dark and scatters in the light.

I'm your host, Dr Devika Bhushan, a pediatrician, public health leader, and equity and health changemaker. In 2022, I served as the Acting Surgeon General for California. I have lived experience as a woman of color, a parent, a person with bipolar disorder, and an Indian-American immigrant to the US by way of the Philippines.
