Two Minds, Better Than One – Docs Tracey & Paul Discuss It All

Two Minds, Better Than One – Docs Tracey & Paul Discuss It All

Welcome to Tracey & Paul Discuss It All!

Psychiatric illness is unequivocally the foremost public health challenge confronting our society today. In this discourse, Docs Tracey and Paul (Dr. Paul E. Keck Jr., MD and Dr. Tracey Goodman Skale, MD) endeavor to illuminate the pervasive nature of mental health issues, and create public awareness and understanding of the signs and symptoms associated with various psychiatric disorders.

The goal of our podcast is to empower every day people – and mental health professionals – to recognize potential mental health struggles in themselves and those around them, and helping to facilitate timely access to appropriate care. In each episode, we'll explore the complexities of mental illness and dispel prevalent myths that cloud public perception.

With nearly 70 years of combined expertise in psychiatry, Docs Tracey and Paul are dedicated to fostering a compassionate dialogue surrounding mental health, ultimately advocating for the dignity and respect of those affected by mental illness.
