Julianna Estall, a DCR, or designated crisis responder, comes on to talk about the time she checked herself into a mental facility (she suffers from dehabilitating mental illness at times), and how much it really cost her. We also discuss how she’s more empathetic towards others' financial situations when it comes to mental health, and why she does not regret the thousands of dollars she’s spent (and continues to speed to take care of her needs).

What You Hear in This Episode:

  • What led Julianna to calling 911 and voluntarily going to the emergency room 
  • How much spending five days, plus medication and working with a psychiatrist cost her
  • How people who can't afford health care can afford to tend to their mental health
  • Why Julianna is so thankful she is able to afford treatment
