Episode 244
About the Episode
More than one in five adults in the U.S. live with a mental illness, but only about half receive treatment. Many struggle to find a therapist that will accept their insurance. An NPR/ProPublica investigation found that therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists who join insurance networks often leave because of challenges. Stephanie Sy discussed more with Annie Waldman of ProPublica.
